Project description:Immune tolerance to allografts has been pursued for decades as an important goal in transplantation. Administration of apoptotic donor splenocytes effectively induces antigen-specific tolerance to allografts in murine studies. Here we show that two peritransplant infusions of apoptotic donor leukocytes under short-term immunotherapy with antagonistic anti-CD40 antibody 2C10R4, rapamycin, soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor and anti-interleukin 6 receptor antibody induce long-term (≥1 year) tolerance to islet allografts in 5 of 5 nonsensitized, MHC class I-disparate, and 1 MHC class II DRB allele-matched rhesus macaques. Tolerance in our preclinical model is associated with a regulatory network, involving antigen-specific Tr1 cells exhibiting a distinct transcriptome and indirect specificity for matched MHC class II and mismatched class I peptides. Apoptotic donor leukocyte infusions warrant continued investigation as a cellular, nonchimeric and translatable method for inducing antigen- specific tolerance in transplantation.

Project description:Graft acceptance without the need for immunosuppressive drugs is the ultimate goal of transplantation therapy. In murine liver transplantation, allografts are accepted across major histocompatibility antigen complex barriers without the use of immunosuppressive drugs and constitute a suitable model for research on immunological rejection and tolerance. MicroRNA (miRNA) has been known to be involved in the immunological responses. In order to identify mRNAs in spontaneous liver allograft tolerance, miRNA expression in hepatic allografts was examined using this transplantation model. According to the graft pathological score and function, miR-146a, 15b, 223, 23a, 27a, 34a and 451 were upregulated compared with the expression observed in the syngeneic grafts. In contrast, miR-101a, 101b and 148a were downregulated. Our results demonstrated the alteration of miRNAs in the allografts and may indicate the role of miRNAs in the induction of tolerance after transplantation. Furthermore, our data suggest that monitoring the graft expression of novel miRNAs may allow clinicians to differentiate between rejection and tolerance. A better understanding of the tolerance inducing mechanism observed in murine hepatic allografts may provide a therapeutic strategy for attenuating allograft rejection.

B10.BR mice were used as donors and B10.D2 mice were used as recipients. Liver allo-transplantation surgery on the mice was performed in this combination. Three mice from each group were sacrificed, and the liver grafts were removed on days 5, 8, 14 and 100 after transplantation. Total RNA, including miRNA was isolated. 100ng of total RNA was labeled by Cy3 and used as probe for hybridization to the microarray.

Project description:Regulatory T cells restore tolerance in preclinical models of immune-mediated diseases and are therefore a promising alternative to conventional immune-suppression for preventing graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) in patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Adaptive CD4+ Type 1 regulatory T (Tr1) cells specific for alloantigens are induced in vitro by interleukin-10 (IL-10). Therefore, we evaluated whether infusion of Tr1 cells could promote immune-competence to foreign antigens and long-term alloantigen-specific tolerance. In this phase 1-2 trial, we performed adoptive transfer with IL-10-induced alloantigen-specific Tr1 cells (IL-10-DLI), without immune-suppression, in patients with high-risk hematopoietic malignancies transplanted with CD34+ cells from haploidentical donors. Donor T cells, primed ex vivo with host antigen-presenting-cells and IL-10, are anergic towards host-HLA antigens and contain host-specific Tr1 cells but also memory T cells able to respond to pathogens. Nineteen patients were enrolled in the trial. Twelve received IL-10-DLI. Seven were not evaluable because of early death/relapse, whereas five immune-reconstituted (>100/µl CD3+ T cells) at median day 28 after IL-10-DLI. T-cell counts and function progressively normalized in patients who received 105 CD3+ T cells/kg, whereas a higher dose (3x105 CD3+ T cells/kg) caused acute grade III GvHD in one patient. Four patients are alive, in disease remission and immune-suppression-free at a median follow-up of 3.3 years, three of them were analyzed by microarrays; their T-cell receptor repertoire and gene expression profiles are comparable to those of healthy subjects. Cell therapy with IL-10-DLI is feasible, safe, and provides immune-competence. This trial is the first step towards widespread use of Tr1 cells as adjuvant treatment in allogeneic HSCT (IS/11/6172/8309/8391). Keywords: classification of clinical samples Whole blood samples of three healthy donors and three different patients collected at various time points after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) before and after the subsequent administration of IL-10 anergized T cells were analysed on a custom Agilent 8x15K 60mer oligonucleotide microarray encomprising 4610 probes in triplicates. The microarray is dedicated to transplantation research and was designed based on current literature and published and unpublished data provided by the RISET consortium. For the probe selection procedure we specially focused on the detection of multiple transcript variants of a gene, on optimized hybridization properties of the probes, and on the avoidance of crosshybridization. The RISET 1.0 platform (GPL10370) is a precursor of the RISET 2.0 microarray (GPL8136).

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) process and present self and foreign antigens to induce tolerance or immunity. In vitro models suggest that induction of immunity is controlled by regulating the presentation of antigen, but little is known about how DCs control antigen presentation in vivo. To examine antigen processing and presentation in vivo we specifically targeted antigens to the two major subsets of DCs using chimeric monoclonal antibodies. Unlike CD8+ DCs that express the cell surface protein CD205, CD8- DCs, which are positive for the 33D1 antigen, are specialized for presentation on MHC class II. This difference in antigen processing is intrinsic to the DC subsets and associated with increased expression of proteins associated with MHC processing. Experiment Overall Design: This study includes data from cell sort purified dendritic cells, B cells and CD4 and CD8 T cells. The genearray was performed to identify the transmembrane molecule recognized by the antibody 33D1. The antibody 33D1 binds specifically to CD8-CD11cHigh DCs in the spleen. Therfore the data set was reduced in this way that all molecules that are expressed either in CD8=CD11cHigh DCs, B cells and T cells were diminished of the CD8+CD11cHigh DC data set. This Genearray was also used to analyze MHC class I and MHC class II associated moelcules as the DC subsets differ in the antigen presentation. Each Series consists of 3 individuall samples

Project description:CD4(+) type 1 T regulatory (Tr1) cells are induced in the periphery and have a pivotal role in promoting and maintaining tolerance. The absence of surface markers that uniquely identify Tr1 cells has limited their study and clinical applications. By gene expression profiling of human Tr1 cell clones, we identified the surface markers CD49b and lymphocyte activation gene 3 (LAG-3) as being stably and selectively coexpressed on mouse and human Tr1 cells. We showed the specificity of these markers in mouse models of intestinal inflammation and helminth infection and in the peripheral blood of healthy volunteers. The coexpression of CD49b and LAG-3 enables the isolation of highly suppressive human Tr1 cells from in vitro anergized cultures and allows the tracking of Tr1 cells in the peripheral blood of subjects who developed tolerance after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The use of these markers makes it feasible to track Tr1 cells in vivo and purify Tr1 cells for cell therapy to induce or restore tolerance in subjects with immune-mediated diseases. The transcriptome of human Tr1 cell clones to that of TH0 cell clones either unstimulated or stimulated for 6 and 16 h. Tr1 and TH0 cell clones were isolated from peripheral blood of 2 Healthy Donors (HDs). mRNA from T cell clones unstimulated (t0, n=4 Tr1 cell clones and n=10 TH0 cell clones) or stimulated with immobilized anti-CD3 and soluble anti-CD28 mAbs (6h and 16h, n=4 Tr1 cell clones and n=5 TH0 cell clones) was isolated. Differential expression of 28869 genes was investigated by whole transcript Affymetric chips.

Project description:Current interest in Foxp3+ T-regulatory (Treg) cells as therapeutic targets in transplantation is largely focused on their harvesting pre-transplant, expansion and infusion post-transplantation. An alternate strategy of pharmacologic modulation of Treg function using histone/protein deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) may allow more titrable and longer-term dosing. However, the effects of broadly acting HDACi vary, such that HDAC isoform-selective targeting is likely required. We report data from mice with constitutive or conditional deletion of HDAC11 within Foxp3+ Treg cells, and their use, along with small molecule HDAC11 inhibitors, in allograft models. Global HDAC11 deletion had no effect on health or development, and compared to WT controls, Foxp3+ Tregs lacking HDAC11 showed increased suppressive function, and increased expression of Foxp3 and TGF-beta. Likewise, compared to WT recipients, conditional deletion of HDAC11 within Tregs led to long-term survival of fully MHC-mismatched cardiac allografts, and prevented development of transplant arteriosclerosis in an MHC class II-mismatched allograft model. The translational significance of HDAC11 targeting was shown by the ability of an HDAC11i to promote long-term allograft allografts in fully MHC-disparate strains. These data are powerful stimuli for the further development and testing of HDAC11-selective pharmacologic inhibitors, and may ultimately provide new therapies for transplantation and autoimmune diseases.

Project description:There is increasing recognition of the prognostic significance of tumor cell major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II expression in anti-cancer immunity. Relapse of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) following allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) has recently been linked to MHC class II silencing in leukemic blasts; however, the regulation of MHC class II expression remains incompletely understood. Utilizing unbiased CRISPR-Cas9 screens, we identify that the C-terminal binding protein (CtBP) complex transcriptionally represses MHC class II pathway genes, while the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex component FBXO11 mediates degradation of CIITA, the principal transcription factor regulating MHC class II expression. Targeting these repressive mechanisms selectively induces MHC class II upregulation across a range of AML cell lines. Functionally, MHC class II+ leukemic blasts stimulate antigen-dependent CD4+ T cell activation and potent anti-tumor immune responses, providing fundamental insights into the graft-versus-leukemia effect. These findings establish the rationale for therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring tumor-specific MHC class II expression to salvage AML relapse post-alloSCT and also potentially to enhance immunotherapy outcomes in non-myeloid malignancies.
