Structure-Function Implications of the Ability of Monoclonal Antibodies Against ?-Galactosylceramide-CD1d Complex to Recognize ?-Mannosylceramide Presentation by CD1d.

ABSTRACT: iNKT cells are CD1d-restricted T cells recognizing lipid antigens. The prototypic iNKT cell-agonist ?-galactosylceramide (?-GalCer) alongside compounds with similar structures induces robust proliferation and cytokine production of iNKT cells and protects against cancer in vivo. Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that detect CD1d-?-GalCer complexes have provided critical information for understanding of antigen presentation of iNKT cell agonists. Although most iNKT cell agonists with antitumor properties are ?-linked glycosphingolipids that can be detected by anti-CD1d-?-GalCer mAbs, ?-ManCer, a glycolipid with a ?-linkage, induces strong antitumor immunity via mechanisms distinct from those of ?-GalCer. In this study, we unexpectedly discovered that anti-CD1d-?-GalCer mAbs directly recognized ?-ManCer-CD1d complexes and could inhibit ?-ManCer stimulation of iNKT cells. The binding of anti-CD1d-?-GalCer mAb with ?-ManCer-CD1d complexes was also confirmed by plasmon resonance and could not be explained by ?-anomer contamination. The binding of anti-CD1d-?-GalCer mAb was also observed with CD1d loaded with another ?-linked glycosylceramide, ?-GalCer (C26:0). Detection with anti-CD1d-?-GalCer mAbs indicates that the interface of the ?-ManCer-CD1d complex exposed to the iNKT cell TCR can assume a structure like that of CD1d-?-GalCer, despite its disparate carbohydrate structure. These results suggest that certain ?-linked monoglycosylceramides can assume a structural display similar to that of CD1d-?-GalCer and that the data based on anti-CD1d-?-GalCer binding should be interpreted with caution.

Project description:A major problem in autoimmunity has been identification of the earliest events that lead to breach of tolerance. Although there have been major advances in dissecting effector pathways and the multilineage immune responses to mitochondrial self-antigens in primary biliary cholangitis, the critical links between environmental factors and tolerance remain elusive. We hypothesized that environmental xenobiotic modification of the E2 subunit of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDC-E2) inner lipoyl domain can lead to loss of tolerance to genetically susceptible hosts. Previously we demonstrated that serum anti-PDC-E2 autoantibodies cross-react with the chemical xenobiotics 2-octynoic acid and 6,8-bis (acetylthio) octanoic acid and further that there is a high frequency of PDC-E2-specific peripheral plasmablasts. Herein we generated 104 recombinant monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) based on paired heavy-chain and light-chain variable regions of individual plasmablasts derived from primary biliary cholangitis patients. We identified 32 mAbs reactive with native PDC-E2, including 20 specific for PDC-E2 and 12 cross-reactive with both PDC-E2 and 2-octynoic acid and 6,8-bis (acetylthio) octanoic acid. A lower frequency of replacement somatic hypermutations, indicating a lower level of affinity maturation, was observed in the complementarity-determining regions of the cross-reactive mAbs in comparison to mAbs exclusively recognizing PDC-E2 or those for irrelevant antigens. In particular, when the highly mutated heavy-chain gene of a cross-reactive mAb was reverted to the germline sequence, the PDC-E2 reactivity was reduced dramatically, whereas the xenobiotic reactivity was retained. Importantly, cross-reactive mAbs also recognized lipoic acid, a mitochondrial fatty acid that is covalently bound to PDC-E2.ConclusionOur data reflect that chemically modified lipoic acid or lipoic acid itself, through molecular mimicry, is the initial target that leads to the development of primary biliary cholangitis.

Project description:Vaccine-elicited humoral immune responses comprise an array of antibody forms and specificities, with only a fraction contributing to protective host immunity. Elucidation of antibody effector functions responsible for protective immunity against human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) acquisition is a major goal for the HIV-1 vaccine field. Immunoglobulin A (IgA) is an important part of the host defense against pathogens; however, little is known about the role of vaccine-elicited IgA and its capacity to mediate antiviral functions. To identify the antiviral functions of HIV-1-specific IgA elicited by vaccination, we cloned HIV-1 envelope-specific IgA monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) by memory B cell cultures from peripheral blood mononuclear cells from an RV144 vaccinee and produced two IgA clonal cell lines (HG129 and HG130) producing native, nonrecombinant IgA MAbs. The HG129 and HG130 MAbs mediated phagocytosis by monocytes, and HG129 blocked HIV-1 Env glycoprotein binding to galactosylceramide, an alternative HIV-1 receptor. These findings elucidate potential antiviral functions of vaccine-elicited HIV-1 envelope-specific IgA that may act to block HIV-1 acquisition at the portal of entry by preventing HIV-1 binding to galactosylceramide and mediating antibody Fc receptor-mediated virion phagocytosis. Furthermore, these findings highlight the complex and diverse interactions of vaccine-elicited IgA with pathogens that depend on IgA fine specificity and form (e.g., multimeric or monomeric) in the systemic circulation and mucosal compartments.IMPORTANCE Host-pathogen interactions in vivo involve numerous immune mechanisms that can lead to pathogen clearance. Understanding the nature of antiviral immune mechanisms can inform the design of efficacious HIV-1 vaccine strategies. Evidence suggests that both neutralizing and nonneutralizing antibodies can mediate some protection against HIV in animal models. Although numerous studies have characterized the functional properties of HIV-1-specific IgG, more studies are needed on the functional attributes of HIV-1-specific IgA, specifically for vaccine-elicited IgA. Characterization of the functional properties of HIV-1 Env-specific IgA monoclonal antibodies from human vaccine clinical trials are critical toward understanding the capacity of the host immune response to block HIV-1 acquisition.
