Interkeukin‐34, a cytokine crucial for the differentiation and maintenance of tissue resident macrophages and L angerhans cells
Open accessAbstract
IL‐34 is a recently discovered cytokine that acts on tissue resident macrophages and L angerhans cells upon binding the receptor for CSF‐1, CSF‐1 R. The existence of two ligands for CSF‐1 R, IL‐34, and CSF‐1, raises several intriguing questions. Are IL‐34 and CSF‐1 redundant or does each perform temporally and spatially distinct functions? Is IL‐34 involved in human pathology? Would therapeutic strategies based on selective inhibition or administration of either IL‐34 or CSF‐1 be advantageous for preventing human pathology? Recent in vivo studies indicate that IL‐34 promotes the development, survival, and function of microglia and L angerhans cells; therefore, this cytokine may predominately function in brain and skin biology. Here, we review the evidence for IL‐34 as a key cytokine in the development and function of these two diverse cell types and discuss its potential role in pathological conditions.

Although IL-34 and CD207 do not directly interact, this result is highly consistent with the crucial role of IL-34 in the development and survival of Langerhans cells.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
