Project description:IntroductionAt lung mucosal surfaces, immune cells must initiate inflammatory response against pathogen without inducing tissue damage. Loss of this equilibrium can lead to acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a severe lung inflammatory disease characterized by excessive inflammation and dysregulation of anti-inflammatory pathways.MethodsTo investigate the role of anti-inflammatory pathway CD200/CD200R in lung inflammatory response, we administered LPS intratracheally in CD200 KO and wild type (WT) rats. Inflammation was evaluated using bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cellularity. Lung injury was measured by total protein level in BAL fluid, and levels of proinflammatory cytokines (TNF, IL-6) and chemokines (CXCL2, CCL2) were determined in BAL supernatants. In a second series of experiments, recombinant CD200Fc was administered to KO rats to restore the anti-inflammatory response.ResultsAt baseline, CD200 KO rats did not show sign of inflammation, however KO rats had lower number of alveolar macrophages. In addition, LPS administration induced greater pulmonary edema in CD200 KO rats. This was accompanied with a higher recruitment of neutrophils as well as levels of TNF, IL-6, CXCL2, and CCL2 in BAL compared to WT rats. CD200Fc administration in KO rats reduced neutrophil accumulation and TNF and CXCL2 levels in BAL. Interestingly, the increased inflammatory response of CD200 KO rats could be attributed to greater activation potential of alveolar macrophages with higher levels of ERK and P-ERK MAPK.ConclusionThis study shows that lung inflammatory response is exacerbated in absence of CD200 in an experimental model of ARDS in rats. In addition, CD200/CD200R pathway shows selective regulation of acute lung inflammation and cannot completely abrogate the complex LPS-induced inflammatory response. However, addition of CD200 agonist in a multi-target therapy strategy could have beneficial impacts.

Project description:CD200 is a widely distributed membrane protein that gives inhibitory signals through its receptor (CD200R) on myeloid cells. CD200 has been acquired by herpesviruses where it has been shown to interact with host CD200R and downmodulate the immune system. It has been hypothesized that poxviruses have acquired CD200; but the potential orthologues show less similarity to their hosts. Myxoma virus M141 protein is a potential CD200 orthologue with a potent immune modulatory function in rabbits. Here, we characterized the rabbit CD200, CD200R and tested the CD200-like sequences for binding CD200R. No binding could be detected using soluble recombinant proteins, full length protein expressed on cells or myxoma virus infected cells. Finally, using knockdown models, we showed that the inhibitory effect of M141 on RAW 264.7 cells upon myxoma virus infection is not due to CD200R. We conclude that the rabbit poxvirus CD200-like proteins cause immunomodulation without utilizing CD200R.

Project description:AbstractPatients with multiple myeloma (MM) treated with B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA)-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells usually relapse with BCMA+ disease, indicative of CAR T-cell suppression. CD200 is an immune checkpoint that is overexpressed on aberrant plasma cells (aPCs) in MM and is an independent negative prognostic factor for survival. However, CD200 is not present on MM cell lines, a potential limitation of current preclinical models. We engineered MM cell lines to express CD200 at levels equivalent to those found on aPCs in MM and show that these are sufficient to suppress clinical-stage CAR T-cells targeting BCMA or the Tn glycoform of mucin 1 (TnMUC1), costimulated by 4-1BB and CD2, respectively. To prevent CD200-mediated suppression of CAR T cells, we compared CRISPR-Cas9-mediated knockout of the CD200 receptor (CD200RKO), to coexpression of versions of the CD200 receptor that were nonsignaling, that is, dominant negative (CD200RDN), or that leveraged the CD200 signal to provide CD28 costimulation (CD200R-CD28 switch). We found that the CD200R-CD28 switch potently enhanced the polyfunctionality of CAR T cells, and improved cytotoxicity, proliferative capacity, CAR T-cell metabolism, and performance in a chronic antigen exposure assay. CD200RDN provided modest benefits, but surprisingly, the CD200RKO was detrimental to CAR T-cell activity, adversely affecting CAR T-cell metabolism. These patterns held up in murine xenograft models of plasmacytoma, and disseminated bone marrow predominant disease. Our findings underscore the importance of CD200-mediated immune suppression in CAR T-cell therapy of MM, and highlight a promising approach to enhance such therapies by leveraging CD200 expression on aPCs to provide costimulation via a CD200R-CD28 switch.

Project description:CD200 and its receptor, CD200R, constitutes an endogenous inhibitory signaling, and is being increasingly recognized in studies of various central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Emerging data have demonstrated that neuronal CD200 binds to CD200R to modulate immune responses to pathogenic stimuli. However, on which component of the immune response that CD200-CD200R signaling acts is not well understood. In this review, we focused on cellular expression of the signaling, the effects on immune cell activation, and the function in pathological procedures of neurodegenerative diseases, in both clinical and experimental disease models. Essential functions of CD200-CD200R interaction and the treatment relevance have been elaborated. Immune responses to diseases under the control of CD200-CD200R axis were also discussed in the review.

Project description:As an immune checkpoint molecule, CD200 serves a foundational role in regulating immune homeostasis and promoting self-tolerance. While CD200 expression occurs in various immune cell subsets and normal tissues, its aberrant expression patterns in hematologic malignancies and solid tumors have been linked to immune evasion and cancer progression under pathological conditions, particularly through interactions with its cognate receptor, CD200R. Through this CD200/CD200R signaling pathway, CD200 exerts its immunosuppressive effects by inhibiting natural killer (NK) cell activation, cytotoxic T cell functions, and M1-polarized macrophage activity, while also facilitating expansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and Tregs. Moreover, CD200/CD200R expression has been linked to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and distant metastasis, further illustrating its role in cancer progression. Conversely, CD200 has also been shown to exert anti-tumor effects in certain cancer types, such as breast carcinoma and melanoma, indicating that CD200 may exert bidirectional effects on cancer progression depending on the specific tumor microenvironment (TME). Regardless, modulating the CD200/CD200R axis has garnered clinical interest as a potential immunotherapeutic strategy for cancer therapy, as demonstrated by early-phase clinical trials. However, further research is necessary to fully understand the complex interactions of CD200 in the tumor microenvironment and to optimize its therapeutic potential in cancer immunotherapy.

Project description:Immune checkpoint molecules function to inhibit and regulate immune response pathways to prevent hyperactive immune activity from damaging healthy tissues. In cancer patients, targeting these key molecules may serve as a valuable therapeutic mechanism to bolster immune function and restore the body's natural defenses against tumors. CD200, an immune checkpoint molecule, is a surface glycoprotein that is widely but not ubiquitously expressed throughout the body. By interacting with its inhibitory receptor CD200R, CD200 suppresses immune cell activity within the tumor microenvironment, creating conditions that foster tumor growth. Targeting the CD200/CD200R pathway, either through the use of monoclonal antibodies or peptide inhibitors, has shown to be effective in boosting anti-tumor immune activity. This review will explore CD200 and the protein's expression and role within the tumor microenvironment, blood endothelial cells, and lymph nodes. This paper will also discuss the advantages and challenges of current strategies used to target CD200 and briefly summarize relevant preclinical/clinical studies investigating the immunotherapeutic efficacy of CD200/CD200R blockade.

Project description:CD200/CD200R is an immune checkpoint with broad expression patterns and a potential target for immune therapy. In this study, we assess both CD200 and CD200R expression in solid tumors, with a focus on lung cancer, and evaluate their association with clinicopathologic characteristics, mutation status, outcome, and programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. We used multiplexed quantitative immunofluorescence (QIF) to measure the expression of CD200 and CD200R in a total of 455 patients from three lung cancer cohorts. Using carefully validated antibodies, we performed target measurement with tyramide-based QIF panels and analyzed the data using the PM2000 microscope and AQUA software. CD200 tumor positivity was found in 29.7% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and 33.3% of lung large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) patients. CD200 demonstrated notable intratumoral heterogeneity. CD200R was expressed in immune cells in 25% of NSCLC and 41.3% of LCNEC patients. While CD200R is predominantly expressed in immune cells, rare tumor cell staining was seen in a highly heterogeneous pattern. CD200R expression in the stromal compartment was significantly higher in patients with squamous differentiation (p < 0.0001). Neither CD200 nor CD200R were associated with other clinicopathologic characteristics or mutation status. Both biomarkers were not prognostic for disease-free or overall survival in NSCLC. CD200 showed moderate correlation with PD-L1. CD200/CD200R pathway is frequently expressed in lung cancer patients. Differential expression patterns of CD200 and CD200R with PD-L1 suggest a potential role for targeting this pathway alone in patients with NSCLC.

Project description:Several herpesviruses have acquired the gene for the CD200 membrane protein from their hosts and can downregulate myeloid activity through interaction of this viral CD200 orthologue with the host receptor for CD200, namely CD200R, which can give inhibitory signals. This receptor is a 'paired receptor', meaning proteins related to the inhibitory CD200R are present but differ in that they can give activating signals and also give a negligible interaction with CD200. We showed that the viral orthologues e127 from rat cytomegalovirus and K14 from human herpesvirus 8 do not bind the activating CD200R-like proteins from their respective species, although they do bind the inhibitory receptors. It is thought that the activating receptors have evolved in response to pathogens targeting the inhibitory receptor. In this case, the CD200 orthologue is not trapped by the activating receptor but has maintained the specificity of the host from which it was acquired, suggesting that the activating members of the CD200R family have evolved to protect against a different pathogen.

Project description:Fusion of macrophages is an essential step in the differentiation of osteoclasts, which play a central role in the development and remodeling of bone. Osteoclasts are important mediators of bone loss, which leads, for example, to osteoporosis. Macrophage fusion receptor/signal regulatory protein alpha (MFR/SIRPalpha) and its ligand CD47, which are members of the Ig superfamily (IgSF), have been implicated in the fusion of macrophages. We show that CD200, which is not expressed in cells that belong to the myeloid lineage, is strongly expressed in macrophages at the onset of fusion. By contrast, the CD200 receptor (CD200R), which, like CD200, belongs to the IgSF, is expressed only in cells that belong to the myeloid lineage, including osteoclasts, and in CD4+ T cells. Osteoclasts from CD200-/- mice differentiated at a reduced rate. Activation of the NF-kappaB and MAP kinase signaling pathways downstream of RANK, a receptor that plays a central role in the differentiation of osteoclasts, was depressed in these cells. A soluble recombinant protein that included the extracellular domain of CD200 rescued the fusion of CD200-/- macrophages and their activation downstream of RANK. Conversely, addition of a soluble recombinant protein that included the extracellular domain of CD200R or short-hairpin RNA-mediated silencing of the expression of CD200R prevented fusion. Thus CD200 engagement of the CD200R at the initiation of macrophage fusion regulated further differentiation to osteoclasts. Consistent with in vitro observations, CD200-/- mice contained fewer osteoclasts and accumulated more bone than CD200+/+ mice. The CD200-CD200R axis is therefore a putative regulator of bone mass, via the formation of osteoclasts.
