PU.1 as a critical regulator of both conventional and plasmacytoid DC development. It is directly upregulates Flt3?? gene activation.

FLT3L induces PU.1 and STAT3 mRNA expression in DC progenitors and downregulates GATA1 mRNA expression. At The same time enforced expression of??STAT3??or??PU.1??in DC progenitors led to the up-regulation of Flt3??mRNA levels, so there is a positive loop in this signaling. ??Enforced??STAT3??or??PU.1??expression instructs progenitors to differentiate into Dcs. Additionaly it induces expression of cytokine receptors for G-CSF,??M-CSF, and??GM-CSF probably downstream of STAT3.
