Lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3, CD223) in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs): a molecular target for the restoration of active antitumor immunity.

ABSTRACT: We have recently reported that lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3,CD223) mediates the alternative, IFN?-deficient activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) at tumor sites. Our findings define a novel tumor-driven strategy that promotes immunosuppression by pDCs, and we have provided more detailed information regarding the immunomodulatory role of of LAG-3. The translational relevance of our results for the treatment of tumors and autoimmune diseases is discussed herein.

We have recently reported that lymphocyte activation gene-3 (LAG-3,CD223) mediates the alternative, IFNα-deficient activation of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) at tumor sites. Our findings define a novel tumor-driven strategy that promotes immunosuppression by pDCs, and we have provided more detailed information regarding the immunomodulatory role of of LAG-3. The translational relevance of our results for the treatment of tumors and autoimmune diseases is discussed herein. ...[more]

OX40+ plasmacytoid dendritic cells in the tumor microenvironment promote antitumor immunity.

Project description:Plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs), the major producers of type I interferon, are principally recognized as key mediators of antiviral immunity. However, their role in tumor immunity is less clear. Depending on the context, pDCs can promote or suppress antitumor immune responses. In this study, we identified a naturally occurring pDC subset expressing high levels of OX40 (OX40+ pDC) enriched in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. OX40+ pDCs were distinguished by a distinct immunostimulatory phenotype, cytolytic function, and ability to synergize with conventional DCs (cDCs) in generating potent tumor antigen-specific CD8+ T cell responses. Transcriptomically, we found that they selectively utilized EIF2 signaling and oxidative phosphorylation pathways. Moreover, depletion of pDCs in the murine OX40+ pDC-rich tumor model accelerated tumor growth. Collectively, we present evidence of a pDC subset in the TME that favors antitumor immunity.

Increased IFN-?-producing plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in human Th1-mediated type 1 diabetes: pDCs augment Th1 responses through IFN-? production.

Project description:Increasing evidence suggests that type 1 IFN (IFN-??) is associated with pathogenesis of Th1-mediated type 1 diabetes (T1D). A major source of IFN-?? is plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). In this study, we analyzed peripheral blood pDC numbers and functions in at-risk, new-onset, and established T1D patients and controls. We found that subjects at risk for T1D and new-onset and established T1D subjects possessed significantly increased pDCs but similar number of myeloid DCs when compared with controls. pDC numbers were not affected by age in T1D subjects but declined with increasing age in control subjects. It was demonstrated that IFN-? production by PBMCs stimulated with influenza viruses was significantly higher in T1D subjects than in controls, and IFN-? production was correlated with pDC numbers in PBMCs. Of interest, only T1D-associated Coxsackievirus serotype B4 but not B3 induced majority of T1D PBMCs to produce IFN-?, which was confirmed to be secreted by pDCs. Finally, in vitro studies demonstrated IFN-? produced by pDCs augmented Th1 responses, with significantly greater IFN-?-producing CD4(+) T cells from T1D subjects. These findings indicate that increased pDCs and their IFN-?? production may be associated with this Th1-mediated autoimmune disease, especially under certain viral infections linked to T1D pathogenesis.

Galectin-3 Shapes Antitumor Immune Responses by Suppressing CD8+ T Cells via LAG-3 and Inhibiting Expansion of Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells.

Project description:Galectin-3 is a 31-kDa lectin that modulates T-cell responses through several mechanisms, including apoptosis, T-cell receptor (TCR) cross-linking, and TCR downregulation. We found that patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) who responded to a granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor-secreting allogeneic PDA vaccine developed neutralizing antibodies to galectin-3 after immunization. We show that galectin-3 binds activated antigen-committed CD8(+) T cells only in the tumor microenvironment. Galectin-3-deficient mice exhibit improved CD8(+) T-cell effector function and increased expression of several inflammatory genes. Galectin-3 binds to LAG-3, and LAG-3 expression is necessary for galectin-3-mediated suppression of CD8(+) T cells in vitro. Lastly, galectin-3-deficient mice have elevated levels of circulating plasmacytoid dendritic cells, which are superior to conventional dendritic cells in activating CD8(+) T cells. Thus, inhibiting galectin-3 in conjunction with CD8(+) T-cell-directed immunotherapies should enhance the tumor-specific immune response.

Neonatal plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) display subset variation but can elicit potent anti-viral innate responses.

Project description:Neonates are highly susceptible to infectious diseases and defective antiviral pDC immune responses have been proposed to contribute to this phenomenon. Isolated cord blood pDCs innately responded to a variety of TLR7 and TLR9 dependent viruses, including influenza A virus (IAV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or herpes-simplex virus (HSV) by efficiently producing IFN-?, TNF-? as well as chemokines. Interestingly, following activation by CpGA, but not viruses, cord pDCs tend to survive less efficiently. We found that a hallmark of pDCs in neonates is an extended CD2+pDCs compartment compared to adult pDCs without affecting the antiviral IFN-? response. Within CD2+pDCs, we identified a subpopulation expressing CD5 and responsible for IL-12p40 production, however this population is significantly decreased in cord blood compared to adult blood. Therefore, neonatal pDCs clearly display variation in phenotype and subset composition, but without major consequences for their antiviral responses.

Characterization of three CpG ODN classes in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs)

Project description:Purpose: Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has revolutionized systems-based analysis of cellular pathways. The goals of this study are to compare distinct immunostimulatory activities of three classes of CpG ODNs in pDCs using RNA-seq. mRNA profiles of murine pDCs induced by three classes of CpG ODNs were generated by RNA-Seq studies. Methods: mRNA profiles of murine pDCs induced by three classes of CpG ODNs were generated by deep sequencing, in triplicate, using Illumina Hiseq Xten. The sequence reads that passed quality filters were analyzed at the transcript isoform level with two methods: HISAT based on Burrows-Wheeler transform and Ferragina-Manzini and Bowtie2 followed by RSEM. Results: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we mapped > 60 million total clean reads per sample to the mouse genome (build mm10), with a clean reads Q20 score > 98.58% and a mapping rate to the reference genome of each sample varying from 92.3% to 96.56%. The Pearson correlation coefficient between each sample revealed that CpG-A and CpG-C have the highest correlation. A total of 21,573 genes were detected as being expressed. More than 5,000 genes were downregulated and 2,000 genes were upregulated in CpG ODNs stimulated groups relative to control group, with a fold change ≥ 2 and Q value <0.001. Gene Ontology (GO) analysis and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis of differentially expressed genes uncovered several genes that may contribute to characterize the features of three classes of CpG ODNs in pDCs. Conclusions: Our study represents the first detailed analysis of pDC transcriptomes stimulated with three classes of CpG ODNs, with biological replicates, generated by RNA-seq technology.

Dendritic cell-Ewing's sarcoma cell hybrids enhance antitumor immunity.

Project description:Given the effective immunotherapy of DC-based vaccine in other cancers, we hypothesized DC-based vaccines would induce effective immune responses against Ewing's sarcoma. To verify this hypothesis and develop the most effective dendritic cell vaccine against Ewing's sarcoma, we evaluated the antitumor efficacy of dendritic cell-Ewing's sarcoma hybrids and dendritic cells pulsed with other antigen-loading methods, including cell lysates and the characteristic EWS-FLI1 gene of Ewing's sarcoma, using an A673 cell line as a model. The hybrids were generated by electrofusion with fusion efficiency and viability determined by flow cytometry and fluorescent microscopy analyses. By interferon-gamma secretion assay, the capacity of hybrids to stimulate cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) is higher than that of other antigen-loading methods showing stronger tumor antigen-specific CTL cytotoxicity to A673. By in vivo experiment in SCID mice, all dendritic cell-based strategies induced specific immune responses to Ewing's sarcoma after mice-human immune system reconstitution by inoculating human peripheral blood mononuclear cells into the peritoneal cavity of SCID mice. However, the hybrids most inhibited the subcutaneous tumor growth in SCID mice compared with dendritic cells pulsed with other loading methods. The data suggest A673 cells respond to dendritic cell-based immunotherapy.

Adiponectin receptor signaling on dendritic cells blunts antitumor immunity.

Project description:Immune escape is a fundamental trait of cancer. Dendritic cells (DC) that interact with T cells represent a crucial site for the development of tolerance to tumor antigens, but there remains incomplete knowledge about how DC-tolerizing signals evolve during tumorigenesis. In this study, we show that DCs isolated from patients with metastatic or locally advanced breast cancer express high levels of the adiponectin receptors AdipoR1 and AdipoR2, which are sufficient to blunt antitumor immunity. Mechanistic investigations of ligand-receptor interactions on DCs revealed novel signaling pathways for each receptor. AdipoR1 stimulated IL10 production by activating the AMPK and MAPKp38 pathways, whereas AdipoR2 modified inflammatory processes by activating the COX-2 and PPAR? pathways. Stimulation of these pathways was sufficient to block activation of NF-?B in DC, thereby attenuating their ability to stimulate antigen-specific T-cell responses. Together, our findings reveal novel insights into how DC-tolerizing signals evolve in cancer to promote immune escape. Furthermore, by defining a critical role for adiponectin signaling in this process, our work suggests new and broadly applicable strategies for immunometabolic therapy in patients with cancer.
