Project description:Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) arise from committed precursor dendritic cells (pre DCs) in the bone marrow that continuously seed the periphery. Pre-DCs and other upstream progenitors proliferate and mature in response to Fms-related receptor tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (FLT3L), which is considered the most important cytokine for cDC development. However, other cytokines such as stem cell factor (SCF) and colony stimulating factor 1 (CSF1) were also shown to induce pre-DC maturation into DC-like cells. It is not completely understood which cells contribute to cDC development once pre-DCs arrive in peripheral tissues. Here, we analyzed the impact of lymph node (LN) fibroblastic stromal cells (FSCs) on the maturation of pre-DCs into cDCs. We could demonstrate that ex vivo isolated LN FSCs co-cultured with pre-DCs induce precursor maturation into DC-like cells, which were capable of efficiently promoting the proliferation of naïve CD4+ T cells. Interestingly, FSCs isolated from mesenteric lymph nodes (mLNs) or peripheral LNs (pLNs) induced DC-like cells with highly comparable transcriptomes, showing similarity to both ex vivo isolated DCs and macrophages based on characteristic signature genes. Finally, by performing supplementation and receptor blocking studies we could demonstrate that CSF1 is a driving factor for LN FSC-mediated pre-DC maturation into DC-like cells. In summary, we could identify CSF1 as a novel stromal cell-derived factor that supports the maturation of pre-DCs into cDCs within secondary lymphoid organs.

Project description:Immunotherapy is a breakthrough in the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), whereas is effective in a portion of patients. Our clinical studies found that lipid homeostasis imbalance and dendritic cells (DCs) dysfunction contributed to the immunosuppressive microenvironment in the lymph nodes (LNs) of TNBC patients following immunotherapy, which greatly affected the immunotherapeutic efficacy. Building on this, we introduce a chimeric exosomes-derived immunomodulator, EMV@SS-Toy, involving a polysulfide bond-bridged mesoporous silica nanoparticles (SS-MSN) as a reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenger and responsive carrier nucleus, loading with the (IRE1α-XBP1) inhibitor toyocamycin (Toy) and coating with chimeric exosomes comprising DCs-derived exosomes and Salmonella outer membrane vesicles. This multifaceted immunomodulator can significantly enhance LNs’ homing via homologous targeting and chemokine-guided navigation, enabling a pathological ROS-responsive drug release, dual-stress pathway regulation, thereby restoring and DCs’ function and LNs’ immune microenvironment. As expected, the immunomodulator markedly boosted the responsiveness of TNBC to immunotherapy, exerting potent inhibition on both the primary tumor and metastases and establishing long-term immune surveillance. Our study provides potent directions for translational immunotherapy through optimizing the LNs’ microenvironment in TNBC.

Project description:T helper type 2 (Th2) responses are induced by protease allergens and helminthes. However the molecular mechanisms that initiate Th2 responses are poorly understood. To obtain insight into this mechanism, we performed a microarray analysis of lymph node DCs stimulated in vitro with the protease allergen papain, or with LPS, a Th1 inducing stimulus. Key words: Th2 response, LPS, dendritic cells, Papain CD11c+ DCs were isolated from the lymph nodes of C57BL/6 mice, and cultured in vitro (1x106 DCs per ml) with 500 3T3-CD40L fibroblasts, either alone, or in the presence of papain (25 µg/ml) or LPS (1 µg/ml). 4h and 17h later, the cells were harvested and RNA isolated and processed for microarray analyses. RNA was extracted and processed from freshly isolated LN DCs. For a given time point, the expression profile of DCs treated with papain or LPS, were compared to that of untreated DCs

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) maintain the tumor microenvironment in an immunosuppressive state preventing effective anti-tumor immune response. A possible strategy to overcome Treg cell suppression focuses on OX40, a costimulatory molecule expressed constitutively by Treg cells while induced in activated effector T (Teff) cells. OX40 stimulation by the agonist mAb OX86 inhibits Treg cell suppression and boosts Teff cell activation. Here we uncover the mechanisms underlying the therapeutic activity of OX86 treatment dissecting its distinct effects on Treg and on effector memory T (Tem) cells, which are the most abundant CD4+ populations strongly expressing OX40 at the tumor site. In response to OX86, tumor-infiltrating Treg cells produced significantly less interleukin 10 (IL-10), possibly in relation to a decrease in the transcription factor IRF1. Tem cells responded to OX86 by upregulating surface CD40L expression, providing a licensing signal to dendritic cells (DCs). The CD40L/CD40 axis was required for Tem cell-mediated in vitro DC maturation and in vivo DC migration. Accordingly, OX86 treatment was no longer therapeutic in CD40 KO mice. In conclusion, following OX40 stimulation, blockade of Treg cell suppression and enhancement of the Tem cell adjuvant effect both concurred to free DCs from immunosuppression and to activate the immune response against the tumor. Total RNA obtained from sorted mouse FoxP3-GFP+ Treg activated in vitro with anti-CD3 in the presence of an OX40-agonist mAb (OX86) or isotype control.

Project description:DC-SIGN+ monocyte-derived dendritic cells (mo-DCs) play important roles in bacterial infections and inflammatory diseases, but the factors regulating their differentiation and proinflammatory status remain poorly defined. Here, we identify a micro-RNA, miR-181a, and a molecular mechanism that simultaneously regulate the acquisition of DC-SIGN+ expression and the activation state of DC-SIGN+ mo-DCs. Specifically, we show that miR-181a promotes DC-SIGN expression during terminal mo-DC differentiation and limits its sensitivity and responsiveness to TLR triggering and CD40 ligation. Mechanistically, miR-181a sustains ERK-MAPK signaling in mo-DCs, thereby enabling the maintenance of high levels of DC-SIGN and a high activation threshold. Low miR-181a levels during mo-DC differentiation, induced by inflammatory signals, do not support the high phospho-ERK signal transduction required for DC-SIGNhi mo-DCs and lead to development of proinflammatory DC-SIGNlo/- mo-DCs. Collectively, our study demonstrates that high DC-SIGN expression levels and a high activation threshold in mo-DCs are linked and simultaneously maintained by miR-181a.

Project description:Epithelial resident memory T (eTRM) cells serve as sentinels in barrier tissues to guard against previously encountered pathogens. How eTRM cells are generated has important implications for efforts to elicit their formation through vaccination or prevent it in autoimmune disease. Here, we show that during immune homeostasis, the cytokine transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) epigenetically conditions resting naïve CD8+ T cells and prepares them for the formation of eTRM cells in a mouse model of skin vaccination. Naïve T cell conditioning occurs in lymph nodes (LNs), but not in the spleen, through major histocompatibility complex class I–dependent interactions with peripheral tissue–derived migratory dendritic cells (DCs) and depends on DC expression of TGF-β–activating αV integrins. Thus, the preimmune T cell repertoire is actively conditioned for a specialized memory differentiation fate through signals restricted to LNs.

Project description:Cross-presentation of cell-associated antigens is carried out by classical DCs (cDCs) and monocyte-derived DCs (Mo-DCs), but whether a similar or distinct program exists for this process is unknown. In examining this issue, we discovered that only Ly-6ChiTremL4– monocytes, but not Ly-6ChiTremL4+ monocytes, can differentiate into Zbtb46+ Mo-DCs in response to GM-CSF and IL-4. However, Ly-6ChiTremL4+ monocytes were committed to Nur77-dependent development of Ly-6CloTremL4+ monocytes. Further, differentiation of monocytes with GM-CSF required addition of IL-4 to generate Zbtb46+ Mo-DCs that cross-presented as efficiently as CD24+ cDCs, which was accompanied by increased Batf3 and Irf4 expression. Unlike cDCs, Mo-DCs required only IRF4, and not Batf3, for cross-presentation. Further, Irf4–/– monocytes failed to develop into Zbtb46+ Mo-DCs, and instead developed into macrophages. Thus, cDCs and Mo-DCs use distinct transcriptional programs for cross-presentation that may drive different antigen-processing pathways. These differences may influence development of therapeutic DC vaccines based on Mo-DCs.
