Platelet P-selectin initiates cross-presentation and dendritic cell differentiation in blood monocytes.

ABSTRACT: Dendritic cells (DCs) are adept at cross-presentation and initiation of antigen-specific immunity. Clinically, however, DCs produced by in vitro differentiation of monocytes in the presence of exogenous cytokines have been met with limited success. We hypothesized that DCs produced in a physiological manner may be more effective and found that platelets activate a cross-presentation program in peripheral blood monocytes with rapid (18 hours) maturation into physiological DCs (phDCs). Differentiation of monocytes into phDCs was concomitant with the formation of an "adhesion synapse," a biophysical junction enriched with platelet P-selectin and monocyte P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1, followed by intracellular calcium fluxing and nuclear localization of nuclear factor κB. phDCs were more efficient than cytokine-derived DCs in generating tumor-specific T cell immunity. Our findings demonstrate that platelets mediate a cytokine-independent, physiologic maturation of DC and suggest a novel strategy for DC-based immunotherapies.

Cutting edge: dendritic cell-restricted antigen presentation initiates the follicular helper T cell program but cannot complete ultimate effector differentiation.

Project description:Follicular helper T (T(FH)) cells are critical for germinal center (GC) formation. The processes that drive their generation and effector potential remain unclear. In this study, we define requirements for MHC class II APCs in murine T(FH) cell formation by either transiently ablating or restricting Ag presentation to dendritic cells (DCs). We find that cognate interactions with DCs are necessary and sufficient to prime CD4(+) T cells toward a CXCR5(+)ICOS(+)Bcl6(+) T(FH) cell intermediate. However, in the absence of additional APCs, these T(FH) cells fail to produce IL-21. Furthermore, in vitro priming of naive T cells by B cells engenders optimal production of IL-21, which induces a GC B cell transcriptional profile. These results support a multistep model for effector T(FH) cell priming and GC initiation, in which DCs are necessary and sufficient to induce a T(FH) cell intermediate that requires additional interactions with distinct APCs for full effector function.

Viral infection triggers rapid differentiation of human blood monocytes into dendritic cells.

Project description:Surprisingly little is known about the interaction of human blood mononuclear cells with viruses. Here, we show that monocytes are the predominant cell type infected when peripheral blood mononuclear cells are exposed to viruses ex vivo. Remarkably, infection with vesicular stomatitis virus, vaccinia virus, and a variety of influenza A viruses (including circulating swine-origin virus) induces monocytes to differentiate within 18 hours into CD16(-)CD83(+) mature dendritic cells with enhanced capacity to activate T cells. Differentiation into dendritic cells does not require cell division and occurs despite the synthesis of viral proteins, which demonstrates that monocytes counteract the capacity of these highly lytic viruses to hijack host cell biosynthetic capacity. Indeed, differentiation requires infectious virus and viral protein synthesis. These findings demonstrate that monocytes are uniquely susceptible to viral infection among blood mononuclear cells, with the likely purpose of generating cells with enhanced capacity to activate innate and acquired antiviral immunity.

Differentiation Kinetics of Blood Monocytes and Dendritic Cells in Macaques: Insights to Understanding Human Myeloid Cell Development.

Project description:Monocyte and dendritic cell (DC) development was evaluated using in vivo BrdU pulse-chase analyses in rhesus macaques, and phenotype analyses of these cells in blood also were assessed by immunostaining and flow cytometry for comparisons among rhesus, cynomolgus, and pigtail macaques, as well as African green monkeys and humans. The nonhuman primate species and humans have three subsets of monocytes, CD14(+)CD16(-), CD14(+)CD16(+), and CD14(-)CD16(+) cells, which correspond to classical, intermediate, and nonclassical monocytes, respectively. In addition, there exist presently two subsets of DC, BDCA-1(+) myeloid DC and CD123(+) plasmacytoid DC, that were first confirmed in rhesus macaque blood. Following BrdU inoculation, labeled cells first appeared in CD14(+)CD16(-) monocytes, then in CD14(+)CD16(+) cells, and finally in CD14(-)CD16(+) cells, thus defining different stages of monocyte maturation. A fraction of the classical CD14(+)CD16(-) monocytes gradually expressed CD16(+) to become CD16(+)CD14(+) cells and subsequently matured into the nonclassical CD14(-)CD16(+) cell subset. The differentiation kinetics of BDCA-1(+) myeloid DC and CD123(+) plasmacytoid DC were distinct from the monocyte subsets, indicating differences in their myeloid cell origins. Results from studies utilizing nonhuman primates provide valuable information about the turnover, kinetics, and maturation of the different subsets of monocytes and DC using approaches that cannot readily be performed in humans and support further analyses to continue examining the unique myeloid cell origins that may be applied to address disease pathogenesis mechanisms and intervention strategies in humans.

Platelet P-selectin triggers rapid surface exposure of tissue factor in monocytes.

Project description:Tissue factor (TF) plays a central role in haemostasis and thrombosis. Following vascular damage, vessel wall TF initiates the extrinsic coagulation cascade. TF can also be exposed by monocytes. Inflammatory or infectious stimuli trigger synthesis of new TF protein by monocytes over the course of hours. It has also been suggested that monocytes can expose TF within minutes when stimulated by activated platelets. Here, we have confirmed that monocytes rapidly expose TF in whole blood and further demonstrate that platelet P-selectin exposure is necessary and sufficient. Monocyte TF exposure increased within five minutes in response to platelet activation by PAR1-AP, PAR4-AP or CRP-XL. PAR1-AP did not trigger TF exposure on isolated monocytes unless platelets were also present. In whole blood, PAR1-AP-triggered TF exposure required P-selectin and PGSL-1. In isolated monocytes, although soluble recombinant P-selectin had no effect, P-selectin coupled to 2 µm beads triggered TF exposure. Cycloheximide did not affect rapid TF exposure, indicating that de novo protein synthesis was not required. These data show that P-selectin on activated platelets rapidly triggers TF exposure on monocytes. This may represent a mechanism by which platelets and monocytes rapidly contribute to intravascular coagulation.

Intracellular regulation of cross-presentation during dendritic cell maturation.

Project description:We have investigated the effect of different maturation stimuli on the ability of mature dendritic cells (DCs) to cross-present newly acquired particulate antigens. Cross-presentation was impaired in DCs matured by treatment with TNF-?, CpG and LPS, but was less affected upon CD40L-induced maturation. The difference could not be explained by decreased antigen uptake or translocation into the cytosol, but decreased cross-presentation ability did correlate with increased phagosomal/lysosomal acidification. Nevertheless, intra-phagosomal degradation of OVA was not increased in matured samples, suggesting that decreasing phagosomal pH may also regulate cross-presentation by a mechanism other than enhancing degradation.

The cystine/glutamate antiporter regulates dendritic cell differentiation and antigen presentation.

Project description:The major cellular antioxidant glutathione is depleted during HIV infection and in obesity. Although the consequence of glutathione depletion on immune function is starting to emerge, it is currently not known whether glutathione dysregulation influences the differentiation and maturation of dendritic cells (DCs). Moreover, the effect of glutathione depletion on DC effector functions, such as Ag presentation, is poorly understood. Glutathione synthesis depends on the cystine/glutamate antiporter, which transports the rate-limiting precursor cystine into the cell in exchange for glutamate. In this paper, we present a detailed study of antiporter function in DCs and demonstrate a role for the antiporter in DC differentiation and cross-presentation. We show that the antiporter is the major mechanism for transport of cystine and glutamate and modulates the intracellular glutathione content and glutathione efflux from DCs. Blocking antiporter-dependent cystine transport decreases intracellular glutathione levels, and these effects correlate with reduced transcription of the functional subunit of the antiporter. We further demonstrate that blocking antiporter activity interferes with DC differentiation from monocyte precursors, but antiporter activity is not required for LPS-induced phenotypic maturation. Finally, we show that inhibiting antiporter uptake of cystine interferes with presentation of exogenous Ag to class II MHC-restricted T cells and blocks cross-presentation on MHC class I. We conclude that aberrant antiporter function disrupts glutathione homeostasis in DCs and may contribute to impaired immunity in the diseased host.

Biomimetic protein nanoparticles facilitate enhanced dendritic cell activation and cross-presentation.

Project description:Many current cancer vaccine strategies suffer from the inability to mount a CD8 T cell response that is strong enough to overcome the low immunogenicity of tumors. Viruses naturally possess the sizes, geometries, and physical properties for which the immune system has evolved to recognize, and mimicking those properties with nanoparticles can produce robust platforms for vaccine design. Using the nonviral E2 core of pyruvate dehydrogenase, we have engineered a viral-mimicking vaccine platform capable of encapsulating dendritic cell (DC)-activating CpG molecules in an acid-releasable manner and displaying MHC I-restricted SIINFEKL peptide epitopes. Encapsulated CpG activated bone marrow-derived DCs at a 25-fold lower concentration in vitro when delivered with the E2 nanoparticle than with unbound CpG alone. Combining CpG and SIINFEKL within a single multifunctional particle induced ∼3-fold greater SIINFEKL display on MHC I by DCs over unbound peptide. Importantly, combining CpG and SIINFEKL to the E2 nanoparticle for simultaneous temporal and spatial delivery to DCs showed increased and prolonged CD8 T cell activation, relative to free peptide or peptide-bound E2. By codelivering peptide epitopes and CpG activator in a particle of optimal DC-uptake size, we demonstrate the ability of a noninfectious protein nanoparticle to mimic viral properties and facilitate enhanced DC activation and cross-presentation.

RAB43 facilitates cross-presentation of cell-associated antigens by CD8?+ dendritic cells.

Project description:In this study, to examine cross-presentation by classical dendritic cells (DCs; cDCs), we evaluated the role of RAB43, a protein found to be selectively expressed by Batf3-dependent CD8?+ and CD103+ compared with other DC subsets and immune lineages. Using a specific monoclonal antibody, we localized RAB43 expression to the Golgi apparatus and LAMP1- cytoplasmic vesicles. Mice with germline or conditional deletion of Rab43 are viable and fertile and have normal development of cDCs but show a defect for in vivo and in vitro cross-presentation of cell-associated antigen. This defect is specific to cDCs, as Rab43-deficient monocyte-derived DCs showed no defect in cross-presentation of cell-associated antigen. These results suggest that RAB43 provides a specialized activity used in cross-presentation selectively by CD8?+ DCs but not other antigen-presenting cells.

Sustained cross-presentation capacity of murine splenic dendritic cell subsets in vivo.

Project description:An exclusive feature of dendritic cells (DCs) is their ability to cross-present exogenous antigens in MHC class I molecules. We analyzed the fate of protein antigen in antigen presenting cell (APC) subsets after uptake of naturally formed antigen-antibody complexes in vivo. We observed that murine splenic DC subsets were able to present antigen in vivo for at least a week. After ex vivo isolation of four APC subsets, the presence of antigen in the storage compartments was visualized by confocal microscopy. Although all APC subsets stored antigen for many days, their ability and kinetics in antigen presentation was remarkably different. CD8?+ DCs showed sustained MHC class I-peptide specific CD8+ T-cell activation for more than 4 days. CD8?- DCs also presented antigenic peptides in MHC class I but presentation decreased after 48 h. In contrast, only the CD8?- DCs were able to present antigen in MHC class II to specific CD4+ T cells. Plasmacytoid DCs and macrophages were unable to activate any of the two T-cell types despite detectable antigen uptake. These results indicate that naturally occurring DC subsets have functional antigen storage capacity for prolonged T-cell activation and have distinct roles in antigen presentation to specific T cells in vivo.

Danger signal extracellular calcium initiates differentiation of monocytes into SPP1/osteopontin-producing macrophages.

Project description:The danger signal extracellular calcium is pathophysiologically increased in the synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Calcium activates the NLRP3-inflammasome via the calcium-sensing receptor in monocytes/macrophages primed by lipopolysaccharide, and this effect is mediated by the uptake of calciprotein particles (CPPs) formed out of calcium, phosphate, and fetuin-A. Aim of the study was to unravel the influence of calcium on monocytes when the priming signal is not present. Monocytes were isolated from the blood of healthy controls and RA patients. Macrophages were characterized using scRNA-seq, DNA microarray, and proteomics. Imaging flow cytometry was utilized to study intracellular events. Here we show that extracellular calcium and CPPs lead to the differentiation of monocytes into calcium-macrophages when the priming signal is absent. Additional growth factors are not needed, and differentiation is triggered by calcium-dependent CPP-uptake, lysosomal alkalization due to CPP overload, and TFEB- and STAT3-dependent increased transcription of the lysosomal gene network. Calcium-macrophages have a needle-like shape, are characterized by excessive, constitutive SPP1/osteopontin production and a strong pro-inflammatory cytokine response. Calcium-macrophages differentiated out of RA monocytes show a stronger manifestation of this phenotype, suggesting the differentiation process might lead to the pro-inflammatory macrophage response seen in the RA synovial membrane.
