Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), which accumulate in tumor bearers, are known to suppress anti-tumor immunity and thus promote tumor progression. MDSCs are considered a major cause of resistance against immune checkpoint inhibitors in patients with cancer. Therefore, MDSCs are potential targets in cancer immunotherapy. In this study, we modified an in vitro method of MDSC differentiation. Upon stimulating bone marrow (BM) cells with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor in vitro, we obtained both lymphocyte antigen 6G positive (Ly-6G+) and negative (Ly-6G−) MDSCs (collectively, hereafter referred to as conventional MDSCs), which were non-immunosuppressive and immunosuppressive, respectively. We then found that MDSCs differentiated from Ly-6G− BM (hereafter called 6G− BM-MDSC) suppressed T-cell proliferation more strongly than conventional MDSCs, whereas the cells differentiated from Ly-6G+ BM (hereafter called 6G+ BM-MDSC) were non-immunosuppressive. In line with this, conventional MDSCs or 6G− BM-MDSC, but not 6G+ BM-MDSC, promoted tumor progression in tumor-bearing mice. Moreover, we identified that activated glutathione metabolism was responsible for the enhanced immunosuppressive ability of 6G− BM-MDSC. Finally, we showed that Ly-6G+ cells in 6G− BM-MDSC, which exhibited weak immunosuppression, expressed higher levels of Cybb mRNA, an immunosuppressive gene of MDSCs, than 6G+ BM-MDSC. Together, these data suggest that the depletion of Ly-6G+ cells from the BM cells leads to differentiation of immunosuppressive Ly-6G+ MDSCs. In summary, we propose a better method for MDSC differentiation in vitro. Moreover, our findings contribute to the understanding of MDSC subpopulations and provide a basis for further research on MDSCs.

Project description:V-domain immunoglobulin suppressor of T-cell activation (VISTA) has emerged as a unique immunoregulatory receptor on cells of the myeloid lineage. Agonizing VISTA on myeloid cells has recently been demonstrated to have a profound effect on dampening inflammatory responses. VISTA has been proposed to function both as a ligand and as a receptor, yet the role of VISTA as a ligand has been largely ignored. In this experiment, macrophages and neutrophils were isolated from mice and treated with LPS and VISTA to examine the effect of VISTA in dampening acute inflammation.

Project description:Expressed on cells of the myeloid and lymphoid lineages, V-domain Ig Suppressor of T cell Activation (VISTA) is an emerging target for cancer immunotherapy. Blocking VISTA activates both innate and adaptive immunity to eradicate tumors in mice. Using a tripeptide small molecule antagonist of VISTA CA170, we found that it exhibited potent anticancer efficacy on carcinogen-induced mouse lung tumorigenesis. Remarkably, lung tumor development was almost completely suppressed when CA170 was combined with an MHCII-directed Kras peptide vaccine. Flow cytometry and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) revealed that CA170 increased CD8+ T cell infiltration and enhanced their effector functions by decreasing the tumor infiltration of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) and Regulatory T (Treg) cells, while the Kras vaccine primarily induced expansion of CD4+ effector T cells. VISTA antagonism by CA170 revealed strong efficacy against lung tumorigenesis with broad immunoregulatory functions that influence effector, memory and regulatory T cells, and drives an adaptive T cell tumor-specific immune response that enhances the efficacy of the Kras vaccine.

Project description:Background and methods: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are immature myeloid cells which originate in the bone marrow (BM) and have immunoregulatory functions. MDSCs have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several autoimmune diseases but not in immune aplastic anemia (AA). We examined the roles of granulocytic-MDSCs (G-MDSCs) in murine models of human AA and bone marrow failure (BMF). To perform Totalseq, bone marrow mononuclear cells were FACS sorted to obtain alive cells based on FSC and SSC from five bone marrow failure control mice and five G-MDSC-treated mice, mRNA profiles of single cells were generated and sequenced on an Illumina Novaseq System. Results: As both prophylaxis and therapy, BM-derived G-MDSCs improved pancytopenia and BM cellularity and decreased BM T cell infiltration in major histocompatibility (MHC)-matched CB10 BMF mice. Single cell RNA sequencing demonstrated that G-MDSCs downregulated cell cycle related pathways in BM infiltrated T cells, consistent with suppression of T cell proliferation by G-MDSCs. Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that BM-derived G-MDSCs improved pancytopenia and BM cellularity and decreased BM T cell infiltration in major histocompatibility (MHC)-matched CB10 BMF mice, but not in MHC-mismatched CByB6F1 BMF model. Therapeutic efficacy of G-MDSCs are immune context-dependent. Bone marrow mononuclear cells were FACS sorted to obtain alive cells based on FSC and SSC from five bone marrow failure control mice and five G-MDSC-treated mice.

Project description:As indicated by its name, V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) is thought to primarily serve as an inhibitory protein that limits immune responses. VISTA-antibodies can dampen the effects of several concomitantly elicited activation signals including T cell receptor (TCR) and Toll-like receptor (TLR) activation, but it is currently unclear if VISTA agonism could singly affect immune cell biology. In this study, we discovered two novel agonistic VISTA antibodies and characterized their effects on human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) by scRNA/CITE-seq. Both antibodies agonize VISTA in an Fc-functional manner to elicit transcriptional and functional changes in monocytes consistent with activation. We also used pentameric VISTA to identify Syndecan-2 (Sdc2) and several heparan sulfate proteoglycan (HSPG) synthesis genes as novel regulators of VISTA binding to monocytic cells adding further evidence of bidirectional signaling. Together, our study highlights several novel aspects of VISTA biology that have yet to be uncovered in myeloid cells and serves as a foundation for future research.

Project description:Backgrounds: The present study addressed whether V-domain Ig suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA), constitutively expressed in kidney macrophages, has a protective role in tubulointerstitial fibrotic transformation after acute antibody-mediated glomerulonephritis. Methods: Wild-type (WT) and VISTA-deficient (Vsir-/-, KO) mice were treated with nephrotoxic serum to induced acute antibody-mediated glomerulonephritis, and their cytokine and fibrosis profiles were compared. Results: VISTA was highly expressed in kidney macrophages (resident more than infiltrating subset). If VISTA was depleted, tubules suffered further damage after glomerular injury. In damaged Vsir–/– mice, the contact frequency of macrophages with infiltrated T cells increased, and then the immunometabolic characteristics of T cells changed to overproduction of interferon-γ. The Vsir–/– parenchymal tissue cells responded to this altered milieu as more producing interleukin-9, which augmented tubulointerstitial fibrosis and irreversible kidney dysfunction. The blocking antibodies against interferon-γ and interleukin-9 protected above pathological process by VISTA depletion. Conclusions: VISTA is a sentinel protein of kidney macrophages, which prevents tubulointerstitial fibrosis via interferon-γ-interleukin-9 axis after acute antibody-mediated glomerular injury.

Project description:Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are one of the main cell populations that negatively regulate immune responses. However, the mechanism underlying the differentiation and expansion of MDSCs remains unclear. Employing a low-density miRNA microarray and a TaqMan probe-based qRT-PCR assay, we investigated the miRNAs expression profiles of MDSC. Compared to freshly isolated BM cells, BM-MDSCs had a significantly altered miRNA profile. There were 45 miRNAs that were upregulated and 17 miRNAs that were downregulated more than 2-fold. Among these miRNAs, miR-155 and miR-21 have the highest upregulation after cytokine induction.
