Systemic T Cells Immunosuppression of Glioma Stem Cell-Derived Exosomes Is Mediated by Monocytic Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells.

ABSTRACT: A major contributing factor to glioma development and progression is its ability to evade the immune system. Nano-meter sized vesicles, exosomes, secreted by glioma-stem cells (GSC) can act as mediators of intercellular communication to promote tumor immune escape. Here, we investigated the immunomodulatory properties of GCS-derived exosomes on different peripheral immune cell populations. Healthy donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) stimulated with anti-CD3, anti-CD28 and IL-2, were treated with GSC-derived exosomes. Phenotypic characterization, cell proliferation, Th1/Th2 cytokine secretion and intracellular cytokine production were analysed by distinguishing among effector T cells, regulatory T cells and monocytes. In unfractionated PBMCs, GSC-derived exosomes inhibited T cell activation (CD25 and CD69 expression), proliferation and Th1 cytokine production, and did not affect cell viability or regulatory T-cell suppression ability. Furthermore, exosomes were able to enhance proliferation of purified CD4+ T cells. In PBMCs culture, glioma-derived exosomes directly promoted IL-10 and arginase-1 production and downregulation of HLA-DR by unstimulated CD14+ monocytic cells, that displayed an immunophenotype resembling that of monocytic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (Mo-MDSCs). Importantly, the removal of CD14+ monocytic cell fraction from PBMCs restored T-cell proliferation. The same results were observed with exosomes purified from plasma of glioblastoma patients. Our results indicate that glioma-derived exosomes suppress T-cell immune response by acting on monocyte maturation rather than on direct interaction with T cells. Selective targeting of Mo-MDSC to treat glioma should be considered with regard to how immune cells allow the acquirement of effector functions and therefore counteracting tumor progression.

Project description:Background: Accumulating evidence indicates that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are precursors of myofibroblasts, which play a vital role in renal fibrosis. The close interaction between MSCs and other immune cells regulates the development of multiple fibrosis-related diseases. However, the effect of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) on MSCs remains unexplored. Here, we investigated the effect of MDSCs on the myofibroblastic differentiation of MSCs. Methods: MSCs were induced to undergo myofibroblastic differentiation with transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1). M-MDSCs and G-MDSCs were sorted by flow cytometry. Supernatants derived from MDSCs were administered to cultured bone marrow MSCs (BM-MSCs) undergoing TGF-β1-induced myofibroblastic differentiation. Myofibroblastic differentiation was evaluated by immunostaining. The expression of fibrosis-related genes was determined by quantitative PCR and western blot analysis. In vitro, M-MDSC supernatant or M-MDSC supernatant with interleukin (IL)-15 mAbs was administered following unilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) to observe the myofibroblast differentiation of renal resident MSCs (RRMSCs) in a murine model. Results: Myofibroblastic differentiation of MSCs was hindered when the cells were treated with MDSC-derived supernatants, especially that from M-MDSCs. The inhibitory effect of M-MDSC supernatant on the myofibroblastic differentiation of MSCs was partially mediated by IL-15-Ras-Erk1/2-Smad2/3 signaling. Treatment with M-MDSC supernatant ameliorated renal fibrosis and myofibroblastic differentiation in RRMSCs through IL-15. Additionally, M-MDSC supernatant increased M-MDSC infiltration in the kidney in a mouse IRI model. M-MDSC supernatant downregulated the adhesion and migration marker CD44 on the cell membrane of MSCs via IL-15. Conclusion: M-MDSC-derived supernatant inhibited the TGF-β1-induced myofibroblastic differentiation of MSCs through IL-15. Our findings shed new light on the effect of MDSCs on myofibroblastic differentiation and adhesion of MSCs, which might provide a new perspective in the development of treatment strategies for renal fibrosis.

Project description:The presence of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) is associated with a longer overall survival in advanced stage epithelial ovarian cancer. Despite the prognostic impact of TILs, response to checkpoint-inhibitors and antigen-specific active immunotherapy is limited in ovarian cancer. The goal of our study was to investigate the interaction between ovarian cancer and the innate and adaptive immune system in the ID8-fLuc syngeneic ovarian cancer mouse model. For the in vivo experiments C57BL/6, B6.129S7-Rag1tm1Mom/J, and B6.129P2(SJL)-Myd88tm1.1Defr/J mice were inoculated with ID8-fLuc. In vivo depletion experiments were performed using clodronate liposomes (CL), anti-CD8a, anti-GR1, anti-colony stimulating factor 1 (anti-CSF1), and TMβ1 (anti-CD122). Immune read out was performed by fluorescent activated cell sorting analysis for effector T cells, regulatory T cells, natural killer cells, B cells, macrophages, and myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSC), immunohistochemistry for MDSC and tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) and immunofluorescence for M1 and M2 TAM in the vascular context. The effect of MDSC on T cell proliferation and phenotype were studied in vitro. We discovered that the absence of T and B cells did not influence tumor growth or survival of B6.129S7-Rag1tm1Mom/J mice compared to immunocompetent C57BL/6 mice. CL-induced macrophage depletion promoted tumor proliferation and shortened survival in C57BL/6 mice (p = 0.004) and in B6.129S7-Rag1tm1Mom/J mice (p = 0.0005). During CL treatment, we observed a clear increase of pro-inflammatory cytokines (p ≤ 0.02) and monocytic MDSC (p ≤ 0.01). Selective depletion of MDSC by anti-GR1 improved survival, certainly in comparison to mice treated with anti-CSF1 (p = 0.01-median survival 91 vs. 67.5 days). B6.129P2(SJL)-Myd88tm1.1Defr/J mice displayed to a longer median survival compared to C57BL/6 mice (90 vs. 76 days). MDSC activated by ID8-fLuc conditioned medium or ascites of tumor-bearing mice showed T cell suppressive functions in vitro. Based on these findings, we conclude that the adaptive immune system does not efficiently control tumor growth in the ID8-fLuc model. In addition, we discovered a prominent role for MDSC as the driver of immunosuppression in the ID8-fLuc ovarian cancer mouse model.
