The Probiotic BB12 Induces MicroRNAs Involved in Antigen Processing and Presentation in Porcine Monocyte-Derived Dendritic Cells.

ABSTRACT: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) mediate the regulation of gene expression. Several reports indicate that probiotics induce miRNA-mediated immunomodulation at different levels, such as cytokine production and the up-regulation of several markers related to antigen presentation in antigen-presenting cells. The objective of this work was to identify target genes of miRNAs that are involved in the processing and presentation of antigens in monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) stimulated with the probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis ssp. lactis BB12 (BB12). First, an in silico prediction analysis for a putative miRNA binding site within a given mRNA target was performed using RNAHybrid software with mature sequences of differentially expressed miRNAs retrieved from a Genbank data set that included BB12-stimulated and unstimulated porcine monocytes. From them, 23 genes resulted in targets of 19 miRNAs, highlighting miR-30b-3p, miR-671-5p, and miR-9858-5p, whose targets were costimulatory molecules, and were overexpressed (p < 0.05) in BB12-stimulated moDCs. The analysis of moDCs showed that the percentage of cells expressing SLA-DR+CD80+ decreased significantly (p = 0.0081) in BB12-stimulated moDCs; interleukin (IL)-10 production was unchanged at 6 h but increased after 24 h of culture in the presence of BB12 (p < 0.001). In summary, our results suggest that SLA-DR and CD80 can be down-regulated by miRNAs miR-30b-3p, miR-671-5p, and miR-9858-5p, while miR-671-5p targets IL-10.

Project description:UnlabelledMonocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDC) stimulate CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) by presenting endogenous and exogenous viral peptides via major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules. MDDC are poorly susceptible to HIV-1, in part due to the presence of SAMHD1, a cellular enzyme that depletes intracellular deoxynucleoside triphosphates (dNTPs) and degrades viral RNA. Vpx, an HIV-2/SIVsm protein absent from HIV-1, antagonizes SAMHD1 by inducing its degradation. The impact of SAMHD1 on the adaptive cellular immune response remains poorly characterized. Here, we asked whether SAMHD1 modulates MHC-I-restricted HIV-1 antigen presentation. Untreated MDDC or MDDC pretreated with Vpx were exposed to HIV-1, and antigen presentation was examined by monitoring the activation of an HIV-1 Gag-specific CTL clone. SAMHD1 depletion strongly enhanced productive infection of MDDC as well as endogenous HIV-1 antigen presentation. Time-lapse microscopy analysis demonstrated that in the absence of SAMHD1, the CTL rapidly killed infected MDDC. We also report that various transmitted/founder (T/F) HIV-1 strains poorly infected MDDC and, as a consequence, did not stimulate CTL. Vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSV-G) pseudotyping of T/F alleviated a block in viral entry and induced antigen presentation only in the absence of SAMHD1. Furthermore, by using another CTL clone that mostly recognizes incoming HIV-1 antigens, we demonstrate that SAMHD1 does not influence exogenous viral antigen presentation. Altogether, our results demonstrate that the antiviral activity of SAMHD1 impacts antigen presentation by DC, highlighting the link that exists between restriction factors and adaptive immune responses.ImportanceUpon viral infection, DC may present antigens derived from incoming viral material in the absence of productive infection of DC or from newly synthesized viral proteins. In the case of HIV, productive infection of DC is blocked at an early postentry step. This is due to the presence of SAMHD1, a cellular enzyme that depletes intracellular levels of dNTPs and inhibits viral reverse transcription. We show that the depletion of SAMHD1 in DCs strongly stimulates the presentation of viral antigens derived from newly produced viral proteins, leading to the activation of HIV-1-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). We further show in real time that the enhanced activation of CTL leads to killing of infected DCs. Our results indicate that the antiviral activity of SAMHD1 not only impacts HIV replication but also impacts antigen presentation by DC. They highlight the link that exists between restriction factors and adaptive immune responses.

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells that can recognize, capture, and process antigens. Fusing molecules targeting DCs with antigens can effectively improve the efficiency with which antigens are recognized and captured by DCs. This targeting strategy can be used for vaccine development to effectively improve the efficiency of antigen recognition and capture by DCs. The targeting sequence of porcine cytotoxic T-lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA4), which binds porcine DCs, was identified in this study. Recombinant Lactobacillus reuteri (L. reuteri) expressing CTLA4-6aa (LYPPPY) and CTLA4-87aa fused to the porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) protective antigen core neutralizing epitope (COE) were used to evaluate the ability of the two targeting motifs to bind the B7 molecule on DCs. Our results demonstrate that CTLA4-6aa could bind porcine DCs, and recombinant Lactobacillus expressing the CTLA4-6aa captured by porcine DCs was more efficient than those expressing CTLA4-87aa. In addition, the expression of DC markers, toll-like receptors, and cytokines was significantly higher in the 6aa-COE/L. reuteri-stimulated porcine DCs compared to DCs treated with 87aa-COE/L. reuteri (p<0.01) and recombinant Lactobacillus expressing CTLA4-6aa enhanced the ability of porcine DCs to activate T-cell proliferation. Our analysis of the protein structure revealed that CTLA4-87aa contains intramolecular hydrogen bonds, which may have weakened the intermolecular force between the residues on porcine CTLA4 and that on B7. In conclusion, recombinant Lactobacillus expressing CTLA4-6aa were more efficiently captured by porcine DCs and had a stronger ability to promote DC maturation and enhance T-cell proliferation. The LYPPPY motif is the optimal sequence for binding to porcine DCs. Piglets immunized with recombinant Lactobacillus showed that recombinant Lactobacillus expressing CTLA4-6aa induced significant levels of anti-PEDV-specific IgG and IgA antibody responses. Our study may promote research on DC-targeting strategies to enhance the effectiveness of porcine vaccines.
