CD169(+) macrophages present lipid antigens to mediate early activation of iNKT cells in lymph nodes.

ABSTRACT: Invariant natural killer T cells (iNKT cells) are involved in the host defense against microbial infection. Although it is known that iNKT cells recognize glycolipids presented by CD1d, how and where they encounter antigen in vivo remains unclear. Here we used multiphoton microscopy to visualize the dynamics and activation of iNKT cells in lymph nodes. After antigen administration, iNKT cells became confined in a CD1d-dependent manner in close proximity to subcapsular sinus CD169(+) macrophages. These macrophages retained, internalized and presented lipid antigen and were required for iNKT cell activation, cytokine production and population expansion. Thus, CD169(+) macrophages can act as true antigen-presenting cells controlling early iNKT cell activation and favoring the fast initiation of immune responses.

CD169-positive sinus macrophages in the lymph nodes determine bladder cancer prognosis.

Project description:CD169+ macrophages are suggested to play a pivotal role in establishing anti-tumor immunity. They capture dead tumor cell-associated antigens and transfer their information to lymphocsytes, including CD8+ T cells, which is important for successful tumor suppression. This study aimed to determine the prognostic significance of CD169+ macrophages residing in the tumor-draining lymph nodes from cases of bladder cancer. In this retrospective study, 44 bladder cancer patients who received radical cystectomy were examined. The abundance of CD169+ macrophages in the regional lymph nodes and the number of CD8+ T cells in the primary tumor were investigated by immunohistochemistry. A CD169 score was calculated based on the intensity of CD169 staining and the proportion of CD169+ macrophages, and the scores were compared to the patients' clinicopathological parameters. A high CD169 score was significantly associated with low T stage and with a high number of CD8+ T cells infiltrating into the tumor. The group with high CD169 expression had significantly longer cancer-specific survival than the group with low CD169 expression (5-year cancer-specific survival rate: 83.3% vs 31.3%). In a multivariate analysis, the CD169 score was identified as a strong and independent favorable prognostic factor for cancer-specific survival. Our findings suggest that CD169+ macrophages in the lymph nodes enhance anti-tumor immunity by expanding CD8+ T cells in bladder cancer. The CD169 score may serve as a novel marker for the evaluation of bladder cancer prognosis.

CD169-positive macrophages in regional lymph nodes are associated with a favorable prognosis in patients with colorectal carcinoma.

Project description:CD169 (sialoadhesin) is a sialic acid receptor that is expressed on specific macrophages such as lymph node sinus macrophages. Animal studies have suggested that CD169(+) macrophages have a pro-inflammatory property, however, the role of these cells in human diseases has not been clarified. In our in vitro experiments with human macrophages, pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as type 1 interferon, induced strong expression of CD169, suggesting that CD169 might be a specific marker of inflammatory macrophages. To examine the role of CD169 in antitumor immunity, we examined the expression of CD169 in regional lymph nodes (RLNs) and its association with overall survival in colorectal carcinoma (CRC). In a clinicopathological analysis on 83 CRC patients, paraffin-embedded specimens were evaluated for CD169 expression of RLN macrophages by immunohistochemistry. We found, for the first time, a high density of CD169(+) macrophages was significantly associated with longer overall survival; multivariate analysis showed that the ratio of CD169(+) cells to CD68(+) cells was an independent prognostic factor. The majority of CD169(+) macrophages were in direct contact with CD8(+) T cells expressing CD43, a major ligand of CD169. We also found that the density of CD169(+) macrophages had a positive correlation with the number of CD8(+) cytotoxic T cells infiltrating tumor tissues. These data suggest that CD169(+) macrophages in RLNs promote CD8(+) T-cell-mediated antitumor immunity and are associated with a better prognosis for CRC patients. CD169(+) macrophages in RLNs could be a useful marker for assessing clinical prognosis and monitoring antitumor immunity in patients with CRC.

CD169<sup>+</sup> sinus macrophages in regional lymph nodes do not predict mismatch-repair status of patients with colorectal cancer.

Project description:AimsMismatch-repair deficiency and microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-H) colorectal cancer (CRC) is treated with programmed death (PD)-1 antibody regardless of PD-ligand (L)1 expression in tumor cells. We previously found that abundant CD169+ macrophages in regional lymph node (RLN) sinuses and CD8+ tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) positively correlated in CRC and were associated with a favorable prognosis. However, associations between dMMR/MSI-H CRC and CD8+ TILs or prognoses vary among studies. In this study, we attempted to compare the association between MMR status, CD169+ macrophages in RLNs, CD8+ TILs, PD-L1 scores, and prognoses in CRC.Methods and resultsWe immunostained 83 surgically resected CRC tumors that we previously analyzed for MMR proteins, and identified 9 that were dMMR. The number of CD169+ macrophages in RLNs and CD8+ TILs significantly correlated with overall survival, whereas MMR status did not. The number of cells positive for the TIL markers CD3, CD4, CD8, and TIA-1, and macrophage markers CD68 and CD169 in RLNs did not significantly differ between groups according to MMR status. Furthermore, combined positive scores (CPS) for PD-L1 expression in five of nine dMMR CRCs were all <1. We found that dMMR in CRC did not correlate with numbers of CD169+ macrophages in RLNs or CD8+ TILs.ConclusionsCRC with CD169+ macrophages in RLNs and abundant CD8+ TILs indicates a better prognosis and it should be immunologically classified as a different antitumor group from dMMR CRC.

Prognostic significance of CD169-positive lymph node sinus macrophages in patients with endometrial carcinoma.

Project description:Lymph node (LN) macrophages play critical roles in anti-tumor immunity, which develops via the activation of cytotoxic T cells (CTL) and NK cells. The present study aims to determine the prognostic significance of CD169(+) LN macrophages in patients with endometrial carcinoma (EC). The number of CD169(+) cells or the CD169(+) -to-CD68(+) macrophage ratio in regional LN (RLN), and the number of CD8(+) CTL or CD57(+) NK cells in tumor tissues were investigated by immunohistochemistry in paraffin-embedded tissue samples from 79 patients with EC. A high density of CD169(+) cells in the RLN of patients with EC was correlated with an early clinical stage or no LN metastasis. A high number of CD169(+) cells and a high CD169(+) -to-CD68(+) macrophage ratio were significantly associated with longer overall survival in EC. We also found that the density of CD169(+) macrophages was positively correlated with the number of CD8(+) CTL and CD57(+) NK cells that infiltrated into tumor tissues. A high density of CD57(+) cells in EC tissues was associated with a better prognosis, while a high density of CD8(+) cells was not linked to an altered prognosis. The present study showed that the density of CD169(+) macrophages in RLN was associated with an improved prognosis in EC patients. CD169(+) macrophages in RLN might represent a useful marker for assessing clinical prognoses and monitoring anti-tumor immunity in patients with EC.

Immunoprofiling of Breast Cancer Antigens Using Antibodies Derived from Local Lymph Nodes.

Project description:Tumor antigens are responsible for initiating an immune response in cancer patients, and their identification may provide new biomarkers for cancer diagnosis and targets for immunotherapy. The general use of serum antibodies to identify tumor antigens has several drawbacks, including dilution, complex formation, and background reactivity. In this study, antibodies were generated from antibody-secreting cells (ASC) present in tumor-draining lymph nodes of 20 breast cancer patients (ASC-probes) and were used to screen breast cancer cell lines and protein microarrays. Half of the ASC-probes reacted strongly against extracts of the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line, but each with a distinct antigen recognition profile. Three of the positive ASC-probes reacted differentially with recombinant antigens on a microarray containing cancer-related proteins. The results of this study show that lymph node-derived ASC-probes provide a highly specific source of tumor-specific antibodies. Each breast cancer patient reacts with a different antibody profile which indicates that targeted immunotherapies may need to be personalized for individual patients. Focused microarrays in combination with ASC-probes may be useful in providing immune profiles and identifying tumor antigens of individual cancer patients.

CD169+ macrophages in lymph node and spleen critically depend on dual RANK and LTbetaR signaling.

Project description:CD169+ macrophages reside in lymph node (LN) and spleen and play an important role in the immune defense against pathogens. As resident macrophages, they are responsive to environmental cues to shape their tissue-specific identity. We have previously shown that LN CD169+ macrophages require RANKL for formation of their niche and their differentiation. Here, we demonstrate that they are also dependent on direct lymphotoxin beta (LTβ) receptor (R) signaling. In the absence or the reduced expression of either RANK or LTβR, their differentiation is perturbed, generating myeloid cells expressing SIGN-R1 in LNs. Conditions of combined haploinsufficiencies of RANK and LTβR revealed that both receptors contribute equally to LN CD169+ macrophage differentiation. In the spleen, the Cd169-directed ablation of either receptor results in a selective loss of marginal metallophilic macrophages (MMMs). Using a RANKL reporter mouse, we identify splenic marginal zone stromal cells as a source of RANKL and demonstrate that it participates in MMM differentiation. The loss of MMMs had no effect on the splenic B cell compartments but compromised viral capture and the expansion of virus-specific CD8+ T cells. Taken together, the data provide evidence that CD169+ macrophage differentiation in LN and spleen requires dual signals from LTβR and RANK with implications for the immune response.

Significance of para-esophageal lymph nodes in food or aeroallergen-induced iNKT cell-mediated experimental eosinophilic esophagitis.

Project description:Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a recently recognized inflammatory disorder driven by food hypersensitivity; however, the specific foods and mechanisms involved are unclear. In patients with EoE, we have found that hypersensitivities to corn and peanuts are the most common. Accordingly, we sensitized and exposed mice either intranasally or intragastrically with corn or peanut extract or saline. Esophageal eosinophilia, the genes of eosinophil-directed cytokines, and allergen-induced antibodies were examined in mice challenged with corn or peanut extract or saline. A high number of esophageal lamina propria eosinophils as well as eosinophilic microabscesses, intraepithelial eosinophils, extracellular eosinophilic granules, thickened and disrupted epithelial mucosa, and mast cell hyperplasia were observed in the esophagus of peanut or corn allergen-challenged mice. Mechanistic analysis indicated that para-esophageal lymph nodes might be critical in the trafficking of eosinophils to the esophagus and in EoE association to airway eosinophilia. Furthermore, experimentation with gene-targeted mice revealed that peanut allergen-induced EoE was dependent on eotaxin and invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells, as CD1d and eotaxin-1/2 gene-deficient mice were protected from disease induction. Thus we provide evidence that para-esophageal lymph nodes are involved in food- or aeroallergen-induced eosinophilia and patchy EoE pathogenesis, likely a mechanism dependent on eotaxins and iNKT cells.

CD169 Expressing Macrophage, a Key Subset in Mesenteric Lymph Nodes Promotes Mucosal Inflammation in Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Colitis.

Project description:Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) including Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis is a relapsing-remitting illness. Patients with long-standing extensive colitis are easy to develop colorectal cancer (CRC). The increasing incidence of IBD and a substantial increase in the risk of CRC make the necessity to pay more attention on the regulation of inflammation especially by specific macrophages subset. The present study reported that a key subset of sinus macrophage expressing CD169 in mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) played an essential role in promoting mucosal inflammation. The results revealed that the subset expressing CD169 in mLNs increased significantly during the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis. The colitic symptoms were alleviated in CD169-diphtheria toxin receptor (DTR) mice at least partially due to the deletion of CD169+ macrophages in mLNs. In addition, the levels of inflammatory cytokines as well as the percentage of Th17 cells in mLNs from CD169-DTR mice were much lower than those from WT mice with DSS-induced colitis. Further experiment in vitro demonstrated that the supernatant from whole cells of mLNs or colon tissues could promote the production of inflammatory factors by mLN cells or colon tissues from CD169-DTR mice. These results could be explained by the cell sorting result that CD11b+CD169+ macrophages expressed higher level of inflammatory factors directly. All these data indicated that CD169+ sinus macrophage in mLNs played an essential role on regulating mucosal inflammation.

Targeted delivery of lipid antigen to macrophages via the CD169/sialoadhesin endocytic pathway induces robust invariant natural killer T cell activation.

Project description:Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells induce a protective immune response triggered by foreign glycolipid antigens bound to CD1d on antigen-presenting cells (APCs). A limitation of using glycolipid antigens to stimulate immune responses in human patients has been the inability to target them to the most effective APCs. Recent studies have implicated phagocytic CD169(+) macrophages as major APCs in lymph nodes for priming iNKT cells in mice immunized with glycolipid antigen in particulate form. CD169 is known as sialoadhesin (Sn), a macrophage-specific adhesion and endocytic receptor of the siglec family that recognizes sialic acid containing glycans as ligands. We have recently developed liposomes decorated with glycan ligands for CD169/Sn suitable for targeted delivery to macrophages via CD169/Sn-mediated endocytosis. Here we show that targeted delivery of a lipid antigen to CD169(+) macrophages in vivo results in robust iNKT cell activation in liver and spleen using nanogram amounts of antigen. Activation of iNKT cells is abrogated in Cd169(-/-) mice and is macrophage-dependent, demonstrating that targeting CD169(+) macrophages is sufficient for systemic activation of iNKT cells. When pulsed with targeted liposomes, human monocyte-derived dendritic cells expressing CD169/Sn activated human iNKT cells, demonstrating the conservation of the CD169/Sn endocytic pathway capable of presenting lipid antigens to iNKT cells.
