Figure Legend Snippet: LECs activate plasminogen to plasmin, thereby generating CCL21-ΔC with enhanced chemotactic activity. (A and B) Quantification of (A) plasminogen and (B) plasmin activity in tissue protein extracts generated from CTR or CHS-inflamed ear skin. n = 6–7 mice per condition. (C) CTR experiment with CHS-inflamed ears documenting that the plasmin activity observed in C can be completely blocked in presence of the plasmin inhibitor C3. (D) Schematic depiction of the experimental hypothesis: Inflammation leads to enhanced extravasation of plasminogen. uPA bound to uPAR on CCL21-secreting LECs converts plasminogen to plasmin, thereby inducing CCL21 cleavage into CCL21-ΔC. (E–G) In vitro CCL21 cleavage experiment: (E) Schematic depiction of the experiment: immortalized LECs were incubated with recombinant CCL21 (100 nM) and plasminogen (20 nM) for 4 h or 24 h at 37°C in absence or presence of the plasmin inhibitor C3, mU1, or PIC. Supernatants were analyzed by western blot for CCL21. (F) Representative western blot of the cell culture supernatant at indicated time points and conditions and (G) quantification of the full-length CCL21 (gray) and CCL21-ΔC (white) relative band percentage. Pooled data from n = 4 independent experiments. Mean ± SEM, one-way ANOVA, and P values are relative to the “plg only” condition. (H and I) Cell culture supernatants generated as in E were evaluated in a 3D collagen migration assay. Recombinant human CCL21 and CCL21-ΔC were used as positive CTRs (H) Cell trajectory plots of migrating BMDCs’ migratory tracks in response to the stimuli applied on either side of the collagen channel. (I) Quantification of DC directionality, displacement, and velocity in response to the stimuli applied. Pooled data from n = 2 independent experiments with a total of n = 40–50 tracks analyzed per condition. Mean ± SEM, unpaired Student's t test for each comparison. (J–L) Analysis of the CCL21 cleavage activity of LECs isolated from uPA −/− mice or mice with defective uPA binding to uPAR (uPA mut ) (J) Schematic illustration of the three genotypes investigated. (K and L) Representative western blot of the cell culture supernatants after (K) 4 h and (L) 24 h of incubation (top) and quantification of the full-length CCL21 (gray) and CCL21-ΔC (white) relative band percentage (bottom). Pooled data from n = 5 independent experiments. Mean ± SEM, one-way ANOVA, and Source data are available for this figure: . plg, plasminogen.

Figure Legend Snippet: Flow cytometry–based analysis of uPAR, uPA, and plasminogen protein levels on dermal cell subsets in vivo . Mice were sensitized with 2% oxazolone on the belly on day 0 and challenged on day 5 by applying 1% oxazolone to the skin of one ear. Flow cytometry was performed on both ears, i.e., the CTR and the CHS-inflamed ear, 1 day later. (A) Depiction of the gating strategy used for the identification of LECs (CD45 − CD31 + podoplanin + ), blood endothelial cells (CD45 − CD31 + podoplanin - ), leukocytes (CD45 + CD31 − ), and other nonvascular stromal cells (CD45 − CD31 − ). (B–E) Representative FACS plots (top) and summary of the delta mean fluorescent intensity (ΔMFI; specific - isotype staining) values obtained (bottom) when analyzing the expression of uPAR, uPA, and plasminogen in (B) LECs, (C) blood endothelial cells (BECs), (D) leukocytes, and (E) other nonvascular stromal cells of CTR or CHS-inflamed skin. Data points from the same animal (i.e., with one CTR and one CHS-inflamed ear, n = 4–7 mice in total) are connected by a line. Red lines indicate the mean. Paired Student’s t test.

Figure Legend Snippet: Expression of components of the plasmin activation pathway and CCL21 cleavage activity of cultured cells. (A and B) Flow cytometry–based analysis of uPA, uPAR, and plasminogen expression in conditionally immortalized LECs and primary LN LECs. (A) Representative histogram plots and corresponding (B) summary of the delta mean fluorescent intensity (ΔMFI; specific-isotype staining) values measured in 4–5 different experiments. (C) CCL21 cleavage assay performed in presence or absence of LECs and plasminogen (plg), revealing the dependence of CCL21 cleavage on both factors (i.e., LECs and plg). One representative out of two similar experiments is shown. (D and E) CCL21 cleavage assay performed with (D) bone marrow–derived DCs and (E) primary keratinocytes, revealing their ability to cleave CCL21 in presence of plg. One representative out of two similar experiments is shown in D and E. (F) qRT-PCR–based analysis of mRNA from LN LECs isolated from WT, uPA mut , and uPA −/− mice.

Figure Legend Snippet: Summary diagram. Summary of the main findings and the overall model. Top: Summary of events happening at the level of LECs: continuous low-level extravasation of plasminogen from blood vessels leads to uPA/uPAR-mediated activation of plasmin, which in turn cleaves immobilized CCL21 into soluble CCL21-ΔC (WT steady-state—left). When uPA-mediated activation of plasminogen is compromised (uPA mut ), less CCL21 gets cleaved, shifting the balance toward more immobilized CCL21 accumulating on/around LECs (uPA mut steady-state—middle). Under inflammatory conditions, with higher extravasation of plasminogen and higher expression of uPA and uPAR by LECs, more plasmin is activated, resulting in more CCL21 cleavage (WT inflammation—right). Bottom: The bottom part of the figure illustrates how these changes affect the balance between immobilized CCL21 and soluble CCL21-ΔC around afferent lymphatics and in the dLN. Additionally, the impact on distinct CCR7-dependent steps (1–3) in lymphatic migration of DCs are indicated. Question marks (?) indicate steps that were not specifically investigated in this study and thus represent speculations based on indirect findings and/or the literature.
