Highlights • Endoderm-derived metaphocytes exist in the gill and intestine of zebrafish • Metaphocytes in different barriers share transcriptome and functional similarities • Metaphocytes are professional in external soluble antigen uptake • Metaphocytes in gill mediate poly(I:C)-induced local immune response Summary Immune cells in the mucosal barriers of vertebrates are highly heterogeneous in their origin and function.
Highlights • Ectoderm-derived metaphocytes in zebrafish epidermis are myeloid-like cells • Unlike Langerhans cells, highly mobile metaphocytes lack phagocytosis ability • Metaphocytes capture external soluble antigens through transepithelial protrusions • Antigen transfer from metaphocytes to Langerhans cells via apoptosis-phagocytosis Summary Tissue-resident macrophages (TRMs) are highly heterogeneous and engage in a wide range of diverse functions.
