Project description:A growing body of evidence suggests that inflammatory cytokines have a dualistic role in immunity. In this study, we sought to determine the direct effects IFN-gamma on the differentiation and maturation of human peripheral blood monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC). Here, we report that following differentiation of human peripheral-blood monocytes into moDCs with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL-4, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) induces moDC maturation and up-regulates the co-stimulatory markers CD80, CD86, CD95, and MHC Class I, enabling moDCs to effectively generate antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses for multiple viral and tumor antigens. Interestingly, early exposure of monocytes to high concentrations of IFN-gamma promotes monocyte differentiation into macrophages, despite the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4. However, under low concentrations of IFN-gamma, monocytes continue to differentiate into dendritic cells possessing a unique gene-expression profile, resulting in impairments in subsequent maturation by IFN-gamma and an inability to generate effective antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses compared to standard moDCs. Monocytes differentiated in the presence of low levels of IFN-gamma downregulate IFN-gamma receptor expression, impairing their response to an inflammatory rechallenge. These findings demonstrate the ability of IFN-gamma to impart differential programs on human moDCs which shape the antigen-specific T cell responses they induce. Timing and intensity of exposure to IFN-gamma can thus determine whether moDCs are tolerogenic or immunostimulating. Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells from 4 healthy donors were differentiated with either GM-CSF and IL-4 (n=4) or GM-CSF, IL-4, and IFN-gamma (n=4). These samples were subsequently hybridized to arrays as 4 biological repeats for each of the two treatment conditions.

Project description:Modulating beta-catenin signaling has attractive therapeutic potential in cancer immunotherapy. Various studies have found that beta-catenin can mediate immune evasion in cancer and promote anti-inflammatory features of antigen-presenting dendritic cells. Multiple small-molecule compounds that inhibit Wnt/beta-catenin signaling are currently in clinical development, but none have reached routine clinical use. Thus, new inhibitors of beta-catenin signaling are desirable. This dataset is the result of an investigation of the effect of small molecular compounds axitinib, ICG-001, nitazoxanide, orlistat, and XAV-939 on the maturation capacity of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDC). Treatment of immature moDC was done in combination with the beta-catenin activator 6-BIO. Immature moDCs were obtained by isolating monocytes from PBMC using magnetic beads, which were then differentiated into moDCs using GM-CSF and IL-4 for four days. Compounds were added during the maturation of the moDCs, which was done by adding LPS to the cell culture. After the maturation period of 24 hours, the mature moDCs were collected and processed for RNA sequencing.

Project description:Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) can either promote or prevent T helper-2 (Th2) cell-allergic responses. However, the underlying mechanism remains unknown. We show here that LPS activity switches from pro-pathogenic to protective depending on the production of GM-CSF by non-classical monocytes. In the absence of GM-CSF, LPS can favor pathogenic Th2 cell responses by supporting the trafficking of lung migratory dendritic cells (mDC2s) into the lung-draining lymph node. However, when non-classical monocytes produce GM-CSF, LPS and GM-CSF synergize to differentiate monocyte-derived DCs (moDCs) that instruct mDC2s for Th2 cell suppression. Importantly, only allergens with cysteine protease activity trigger GM-CSF production by non-classical monocytes. Hence, the therapeutic effect of LPS is restricted to allergens with this enzymatic activity. Treatment with GM-CSF, however, restores the protective effects of LPS. Thus, GM-CSF produced by non-classical monocytes acts as a rheostat that fine-tunes the pathogenic and therapeutic functions of LPS.

Project description:In Multiple Sclerosis, the pathological interaction of autoreactive helper T (TH) cells with mononuclear phagocytes in the central nervous system (CNS) drives initiation and maintenance of chronic neuroinflammation. Herein, we found that intrathecal transplantation of neural stem cells (NPCs) in mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) impairs the accumulation of inflammatory monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) in the CNS leading to improved clinical outcome. NPCs treatment reduced in the CNS IL-23, IL-1 and TNF-α, cytokines required for terminal differentiation of TH cells and accordingly GM-CSF-producing pathogenic TH cells. In vivo and in vitro transcriptome analyses disclosed that NPC secreted factors induce an inhibition of DC differentiation and maturation, favoring a fate switch towards an anti-inflammatory phenotype. We identified TGF-β2 as the crucial mediator of NPC immunomodulation: TGFβ2 knockout NPCs transplanted in EAE are ineffective in impairing moDC accumulation within the CNS and fail to drive clinical improvement. This study provides evidence that intrathecally injected NPCs interfere with CNS-compartmentalized inflammation of the effector phase of EAE, reprogramming, through the secretion of TGF-β2, inflammatory monocyte-derived DCs towards anti-inflammatory myeloid cells.

Project description:TGF-β family ligands are key regulators of dendritic cell (DC) differentiation and activation. Epidermal Langerhans cells (LCs) require TGF-β family signaling for their differentiation and canonical TGF-β1 signaling secures a non-activated LC state. LCs reportedly control skin inflammation and are replenished from peripheral blood monocytes, which also give rise to pro-inflammatory monocyte-derived DCs (moDCs). By studying mechanisms in inflammation, we previously screened LCs vs moDCs for differentially expressed miRNAs. miR-424/503 was the most strongly inversely regulated (moDCs > LCs). We found that miR-424/503 is induced during moDC differentiation and promotes moDC differentiation in human and mouse. Inversely, forced repression of miR-424 during moDC differentiation facilitated TGF-β1-dependent LC differentiation. Mechanistically, miR-424/503 deficiency in monocyte/DC precursors leads to the induction of TGF-β1-response genes critical for LC differentiation. Therefore, the miR-424/503 gene cluster plays a decisive role in anti-inflammatory LC vs pro-inflammatory moDC differentiation from monocytes.

Project description:Background: Granulocyte-Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) is a hematopoietic growth factor and adjuvant in cancer immunotherapy via stimulation of dendritic cells/APCs. However, GM-CSF has yielded inconsistent results and its role regarding in vivo modulation of macrophages remains underexplored. We previously demonstrated that 100ng “high-dose” intratumor (IT) GM-CSF ablated tumor blood vessels and worsened tumor hypoxia after 3 weeks through tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) soluble VEGFR-1 production in PyMT murine breast cancer. Here, we investigate a role for “low-dose” IT GM-CSF on tumor oxygen and the impact on immunotherapy response, TAMs/myeloid cells, and TILs relative to “high-dose”. Methods: We performed IT injections of dose-specific GM-CSF or saline controls and then evaluated phenotypic effects after 3 weeks. We used Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Oximetry to measure and image in vivo tumor oxygen in real-time, and fluorescent immunohistochemistry to assess tumor blood vessels. IT GM-CSF doses were tested in priming PyMT tumors for sensitization to PD1. We performed RNA Sequencing of TAM and CD8 TIL to observe transcriptional changes coupled with flow cytometry of peripheral blood monocytes, tumor myeloid, and TIL populations in immunology cold" PyMT tumors response to dose-optimized GM-CSF. Lastly, we assessed and compared effects of IT GM-CSF on TAM and TIL in an immunologically “hot” 4T1 breast cancer model. Results: 5ng IT GM-CSF significantly increased PyMT tumor oxygen without augmenting tumor growth and promoted tumor vessel health via increased pericyte coverage. Priming of PyMT tumors with 5ng IT GM-CSF (“low-dose”, hypoxia reduced) sensitized “cold” PyMT tumors to PD1, but this synergy was not observed with 100ng (“high-dose”, hypoxia exacerbated). Immunologically, 5ng GM-CSF did not increase monocyte mobilization or alter phenotypic marker expression on TAMs, but reduced hypoxic and inflammatory transcriptional programs in macrophages and CD8 TIL isolated from PyMT tumors. 100ng increased infiltration of myeloid cells and TAMs but these TAMs had reduced MHCII expression, suggesting support of immune-suppressive TAM under hypoxia. Some tumors exhibited increased CD8 polyfunctionality either dose suggesting mild CD8 TIL priming. On the other hand, 100ng in “hot” 4T1 tumors resulted in increased TAM MHCII and other immunostimulatory molecules with moderate increases in CD8 TIL polyfunctionality and exhausted PD1hiTIM3+ phenotype, indicating that GM-CSF may have opposing effects on macrophage modulation based on tumor immunological status.

Project description:In response to external stimuli during immune responses, monocytes can have multifaceted roles such as pathogen clearance and tissue repair. However, aberrant control of monocyte activation can result in chronic inflammation and subsequent tissue damage. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) induces monocyte differentiation into a heterogenous population of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) and macrophages. However, the downstream molecular signals that dictate the differentiation of monocytes under pathological conditions is incompletely understood. We report here that the GM-CSF-induced STAT5 tetramerization is a critical determinate of monocyte fate and function. Monocytes require STAT5 tetramers to differentiate into moDCs, whereas STAT5 tetramer deficiency yields a macrophage phenotype. In the dextran sulfate sodium model of colitis, STAT5 tetramer-deficient monocytes exacerbate disease severity. Mechanistically, GM-CSF signaling in STAT5 tetramer-deficient monocytes results in the overexpression arginase I and a reduction in nitric oxide synthesis following stimulation with lipopolysaccharide. Correspondingly, the inhibition of arginase I activity and supplementation with a sustained concentration of nitric oxide ameliorates the worsened colitis in STAT5 tetramer-deficient mice. Thus, this study suggests a protective role of STAT5 tetramers in inflammatory bowel disease through the regulation of arginine metabolism. We previously reported that STAT5 tetramerization in monocytes is detrimental in autoimmune-mediated neuroinflammation. This study highlights the opposing role of STAT5 tetramers in inflammatory bowel disease.

Project description:Systemic GM-CSF promotes myelopoiesis and inflammation and GM-CSF blockade is being evaluated as treatment for COVID-19-associated hyperinflammation. Alveolar GM-CSF is however required for monocytes to differentiate into alveolar macrophages (AM) that control alveolar homeostasis and dampen inflammation. By mapping cross-species AM development stages to clinical lung samples, we discovered that COVID-19 is marked by defective GM-CSF-dependent AM instruction and accumulation of proinflammatory macrophages. In a multi-center, open-label, randomized, controlled trial in 81 non-ventilated COVID-19 patients with respiratory failure, we found that inhalation of rhu-GM-CSF did not improve mean oxygenation parameters compared with standard treatment. However, more patients on GM-CSF had a clinical response, and GM-CSF inhalation induced higher numbers of virus-specific CD8 effector lymphocytes and class-switched B cells, without exacerbating systemic hyperinflammation. This translational proof-of-concept study provides rationale for further testing of inhaled GM-CSF as non-invasive treatment to improve alveolar gas exchange and simultaneously boost anti-viral immunity in COVID-19
