Inhibition of Lysine-Specific Demethylase-1 in Myelodysplastic Syndrome Progenitors Restores Differentiation of CD141Hi Conventional Dendritic Cells

ABSTRACT: Immunotherapeutic approaches to treat patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) show promise but progress is hindered by our incomplete knowledge of the immunologic milieu. In a recent phase I trial, we found that vaccination of MDS patients against the tumor antigen NY-ESO-1 activated antigen-specific adaptive immune responses in patients with higher numbers of CD141Hi conventional dendritic cells (cDCs). In solid tumor models, the CD141Hi cDC is critical for initiating anti-tumor immune responses but its impact in myeloid malignancies is unknown. In a series of studies using human samples and mouse models, we tested the hypothesis that MDS patients would exhibit decreased quantity and quality of CD141Hi cDCs due to myeloid dysplasia. Overall, we found CD141Hi cDCs were decreased in MDS patients’ bone marrow and that decreased numbers of CD141Hi cDCs were associated with reduced overall survival. MDS patients had reduced numbers of DC committed progenitors and their progenitors expressed lower levels of the transcription factor interferon regulatory factor-8 (IRF8), a master regulator of CD141Hi cDC differentiation. Induction of IRF8 expression in mouse, healthy human and MDS patient progenitors using an inhibitor of lysine-specific demethylase-1 (LSD1) increased CD141Hi cDC differentiation. These data reveal a previously unrecognized factor of the immune microenvironment in MDS and suggest intriguing connections between epigenetic regulation of CD141Hi cDC differentiation in MDS and the ability to translate these mechanisms to improve immunotherapy for MDS patients.

Batf3 maintains Irf8 autoactivation for commitment of a novel clonogenic progenitor of CD8+DCs

Project description:The transcription factors Batf3 and IRF8 are required for development of CD8α+ conventional dendritic cells (cDCs), but the basis for their actions was unclear. Here, we identify two novel Zbtb46+ progenitors that separately generate CD8α+ and CD4+ cDCs and arise directly from the common DC progenitor (CDP). Irf8 expression in the CDP depends on prior PU.1-dependent autoactivation, and specification of pre-CD8 DC progenitors requires IRF8 but not Batf3. However, upon pre-CD8 DC specification, Irf8 autoactivation becomes Batf3-dependent at a CD8α+ cDC-specific enhancer containing multiple AP1-IRF composite elements (AICEs) within the Irf8 superenhancer. CDPs from Batf3-/- mice that specify toward pre-CD8 DCs fail to complete CD8α+ cDC development due to decay of Irf8 autoactivation, and divert to the CD4+ cDC lineage. Examination of histone modifications (H3K27ac and H3K4me1) and 2 transcription factors (Batf3 and Irf8) and the p300 co-factor binding in 3 different dendritic cell subsets

Single Cell RNA-Seq Analysis Reveals Fate Decision of Human Pre-cDC Determined by Transcription Factor Competition

Project description:Classic dendritic cells (cDCs) play a central role in the immune system and consist of two major subsets: CD141+ cDC (cDC1) and CD1c+ cDC (cDC2). The pre-cDCs is the immediate precursors to both cDC subsets. Previous studies showed that there were two pre-committed pre-cDC subpopulations. However, the key molecular drivers of pre-commitment in human pre-cDCs were not investigated. To address this question, we performed both single cell and bulk RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) of two cDC subsets and pre-cDCs. We inferred a list of sixteen candidate master regulator transcriptional factors (TFs) that can indeed separate pre-cDCs into two sub-populations, with one close to cDC1 and the other close to cDC2. More importantly, these two pre-cDC sub-populations are correlated with ratio of IRF8 to IRF4 expression level more than their individual expression level. Our results suggest the concept that the ratio of antagonistic TFs and their competition determine cDC subset differentiation fate.

Systemic Alterations in Type-2 Conventional Dendritic Cells Lead to Impaired Tumor Immunity in Pancreatic Cancer

Project description:Intratumoral T-cell dysfunction is a hallmark of pancreatic tumors, and efforts to improve dendritic cell (DC)-mediated T-cell activation may be critical in treating these immune therapy unresponsive tumors. Recent evidence indicates that mechanisms that induce dysfunction of type 1 conventional DCs (cDC1) in pancreatic adenocarcinomas (PDAC) are drivers of the lack of responsiveness to checkpoint immunotherapy. However, the impact of PDAC on systemic type 2 cDC2 development and function has not been well studied. Herein, we report the analysis of 3 cohorts, totaling 106 samples, of human blood and bone marrow (BM) from patients with PDAC for changes in cDCs. We found that circulating cDC2s and their progenitors were significantly decreased in the blood of patients with PDAC, and repressed numbers of cDC2s were associated with poor prognosis. Serum cytokine analyses identified IL6 as significantly elevated in patients with PDAC and negatively correlated with cDC numbers. In vitro, IL6 impaired the differentiation of cDC1s and cDC2s from BM progenitors. Single-cell RNA sequencing analysis of human cDC progenitors in the BM and blood of patients with PDAC showed an upregulation of the IL6/STAT3 pathway and a corresponding impairment of antigen processing and presentation. These results suggested that cDC2s were systemically suppressed by inflammatory cytokines, which was linked to impaired antitumor immunity.

The Cytokines IL-21 and GM-CSF have Opposing Regulatory Roles in the Apoptosis of Conventional Dendritic Cells

Project description:Interleukin-21 (IL-21) has broad actions on T- and B-cells, but its actions in innate immunity are poorly understood. Here we show that IL-21 induced apoptosis of conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) via STAT3 and Bim, and this was inhibited by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). ChIP-Seq analysis revealed genome-wide binding competition between GM-CSF-induced STAT5 and IL-21-induced STAT3. Expression of IL-21 in vivo decreased cDC numbers, and this was prevented by GM-CSF. Moreover, repetitive M-NM-1-galactosylceramide injection of mice induced IL-21 but decreased GM-CSF production by natural killer T (NKT) cells, correlating with decreased cDC numbers. Furthermore, adoptive-transfer of wild-type CD4+ T cells caused more severe colitis with increased DCs and interferon (IFN)-M-NM-3-producing CD4+ T cells in Il21r-/-Rag2-/- mice (which lack T cells and have IL-21-unresponsive DCs) than in Rag2-/- mice. Thus, IL-21 and GM-CSF exhibit cross-regulatory actions on gene regulation and apoptosis, regulating cDC numbers and thereby the magnitude of the immune response. Total 6 samples were examined. Splenic dendritic cells were treated with IL-21 and/or GM-CSF studying STAT3 and STAT5B binding in the genome

Moreover, repetitive α-galactosylceramide injection of mice induced IL-21 but decreased GM-CSF production by natural killer T (NKT) cells, correlating with decreased cDC numbers. Furthermore, adoptive-transfer of wild-type CD4+ T cells caused more severe colitis with increased DCs and interferon (IFN)-γ-producing CD4+ T cells in Il21r-/-Rag2-/- mice (which lack T cells and have IL-21-unresponsive DCs) than in Rag2-/- mice. Thus, IL-21 and GM-CSF exhibit cross-regulatory actions on gene regulation and apoptosis, regulating cDC numbers and thereby the magnitude of the immune response.

zDC (Zbtb46, Btbd4) knockout classical dendritic cells

Project description:Classical dendritic cells (cDCs) process and present antigens to T cells. Under steady-state conditions, antigen presentation by cDCs induces tolerance. In contrast, during infection or inflammation, cDCs become activated, express higher levels of cell surface MHC molecules, and induce strong adaptive immune responses. We recently identified a cDC-restricted zinc finger transcription factor, zDC, that is not expressed by other immune cell populations, including pDCs, monocytes, or macrophages. Here we define the zDC consensus DNA binding motif and the genes regulated by zDC using chromatin immunoprecipitation and deep sequencing. By deleting zDC from the mouse genome, we show that zDC is primarily a negative regulator of cDC gene expression. zDC deficiency alters the cDC subset composition in the spleen in favor of CD8+ DCs, upregulates activation pathways in steady state cDCs including elevated MHC II expression, and enhances cDC production of VEGF leading to increased vascularization of skin-draining lymph nodes. Consistent with these observations, zDC protein expression is rapidly downregulated after TLR ligation. Thus, zDC is a TLR-responsive cDC-specific transcriptional repressor that is in part responsible for preventing cDC maturation in the steady state. Splenic classical dendritic cells from mice lacking the second exon of the zDC gene were sorted. DEC-205+ and DCIR2+ cDCs from the zDC knockout mice were collected for comparison with wildtype cDCs. Three replicates per group. The wildtype samples have been previously analyzed and are available in the GEO database in Series GSE6259. The complete dataset representing: (1) the zDC knockout Samples and (2) the wildtype Samples from Series GSE6259 (re-processed using RMA), is linked below as a supplementary file.

Klf4 expression in conventional dendritic cells is required for T helper 2 cell responses

Project description:Subset-specific and progenitor gene expression analysis of Klf4+/+ and Klf4-/- DCs. The two major lineages of classical dendritic cells (cDCs) express and require either IRF8 or IRF4 transcription factors for their development and function. IRF8-dependent cDCs promote anti-viral and T-helper 1 (Th1) cell responses, whereas IRF4-expressing cDCs have been implicated in controlling both Th2 and Th17 cell responses. Here, we have provided evidence that Kruppel-like factor 4 (Klf4) is required in IRF4-expressing cDCs to promote Th2 but not Th17 cell responses in vivo. Conditional Klf4 deletion within cDCs impaired Th2 cell responses during Schistosoma mansoni infection, Schistosoma egg antigen (SEA) immunization, and house dust mite challenge (HDM), without affecting cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL), Th1 and Th17 cell responses to herpes simplex virus, Toxoplasma gondii and Citrobacter rodentium infections. Further, Klf4 deletion reduced IRF4 expression in pre-cDCs and resulted in selective loss of IRF4-expressing cDCs subsets in several tissues. These results indicate that Klf4 guides a transcriptional program promoting IRF4-expressing cDCs heterogeneity. Bone marrow progenitors and skin draining LN subsets were harvested from 4 Klf4fl/fl cre negative or Vav1-icre mice and were sorted to >95% purity on the FACS Aria 3.

Classical dendritic cells are required for dietary antigen-mediated peripheral regulatory T cell and tolerance induction I

Project description:Oral tolerance prevents pathological inflammatory responses towards innocuous foreign antigens via peripheral regulatory T cells (pTreg cells). However, whether a particular subset of antigen-presenting cells (APCs) is required during dietary antigen exposure to instruct naÃ¯ve CD4+ T cells to differentiate into pTreg cells has not been defined. Using myeloid lineage-specific APC depletion in mice, we found that monocyte-derived APCs are dispensable, while classical dendritic cells (cDCs) are critical for pTreg cell induction and oral tolerance. CD11bÂ¬â cDCs from the gut-draining lymph nodes efficiently induced pTreg cells, and conversely, loss of IRF8-dependent CD11bâ cDCs impaired their polarization, although oral tolerance remained intact. These data reveal the hierarchy of cDC subsets in pTreg cell induction and their redundancy during oral tolerance development. Four dendritic cell subpopulations from mouse mesenteric lymphnodes were sorted and compared in their gene expression profile
