Project description:Tolerogenic dendritic cells (DC) are key players in maintaining immunological homeostasis, dampening immune reactions, and promoting tolerance. DC-10, a tolerogenic population of human IL-10-producing DC characterized by the expression of HLA-G and ILT4, play a pivotal role in promoting tolerance via T regulatory type 1 (Tr1) cells. Thus far, the absence of specific biomarkers that uniquely identify DC-10 limited their studies in vivo. By gene expression profiling of in vitro differentiated human DC, we identified CD141 and CD163 as specific surface markers for DC-10. The co-expression of CD141 and CD163 in combination with CD14 and CD16 enables the ex vivo isolation of blood circulating DC-10. FACS-isolated CD14+CD16+CD141+CD163+ cells (ex vivo DC-10) from peripheral blood of healthy subjects produced spontaneously and upon activation IL-10 and limited levels of IL-12. Moreover, in vitro stimulation of allogeneic naive CD4+ T cells with ex vivo isolated CD14+CD16+CD141+CD163+ cells induced the differentiation of allo-specific Tr1 cells. Finally, ex vivo isolated CD14+CD16+CD141+CD163+ cells and in vitro differentiated DC-10 exhibited a similar transcriptional profile, characterized by anti-inflammatory and pro-tolerogenic signature. These results provide new insight into the DC-10 phenotype and on the role of circulating DC-10 in modulating T cell responses and promoting Tr1 cells. These findings open the opportunity to track DC-10 in vivo and to define their role in physiological and pathological settings.

Project description:Antigen presenting cells (APC) are a heterogenous population, comprised of macrophages/monocytes (CD14+ cells), classical dendritic cells (CD141+DC and CD1c+ DC) and pDC. Upon stimulation, APC migrate from peripheral organs to lymph nodes, where they drive T cell specific lineage fate, that is towards immune activation or suppression. APC in human tissues remain poorly defined. Through our previous published data we have charactised APC within adult skin and blood. Here we extend these findings, by performing microarray analysis of adult lung CD14+ DC, CD141+ DC and CD1c+ DC. Once, we were confident we could clearly distinguish the populations of interest (CD14+ cell, CD141+ DC and CD1c+ DC) from other cells, we sorted FACS purified the cells and prepared them for gene array analysis.

Once, we were confident we could clearly distinguish our populations (CD14+ cell, CD141+ DC and CD1c+ DC) of interest from other cells, we sorted FACS purified the cells and prepared them for gene array analysis. Through generating subset specific gene signatures and comparing CMAP scores we confirmed we had identified equivalent APC subsets across human adult skin and spleen.

Project description:Human immune cell subsets develop in immunodeficient mice following reconstitution with human CD34+ haematopoietic stem cells. These “humanized” mice are useful models to study human immunology and human-tropic infections, autoimmunity and cancer. However, some human immune cell subsets are unable to fully develop or acquire full functional capacity due to a lack of cross-reactivity of many growth factors and cytokines between species. “Classical” (c) DC arise from a separate precursor to monocytes and initiate and direct T cell responses. In mice they can be further categorized into cDC1, which mediate Th1 and CD8+ T cell responses, and cDC2, which mediate Th2 and Th17 responses. The gene expression profiles and phenotype human CD141+ DC and CD1c+ DC subsets align with mouse cDC1 and cDC2 respectively but there are also key interspecies differences. Human CD141+ DC and CD1c+ DC develop in humanized mice but the extent to which they resemble their human blood counterparts is not yet known. We therefore analyzed the gene expression profiles of CD141+ DC and CD1c+ DC in humanized mice and demonstrated that they closely resemble those in human blood, making this an attractive model in which to study human DC in vitro or on vivo. We further used this model to explore changes in DC subsets after activation with TLR3 and TLR7/8 ligands, poly I:C and R848 in vivo. A core panel of genes consistent with DC maturation status were upregulated by both subsets. R848 specifically upregulated genes associated with Th17 responses by CD1c+ DC, whilst poly I:C upregulated IFN-λ genes specifically by CD141+ DC. Thus CD141+ DC and CD1c+ DC share a similar activation profiles in vivo but also have induce unique signatures that support specialized roles in CD8+ T cell priming and Th17 responses respectively. '

Project description:Mathematical modeling of immune modulation by glucocorticoids

Abstract
The cellular and molecular mechanisms of immunomodulatory actions of glucocorticoids (GC) remain to be identified. Using our experimental findings, a mathematical model based on a system of ordinary differential equations for characterization of the regulation of anti-tumor immune activity by the both direct and indirect GC effects was generated to study the effects of GC treatment on effector CD8+ T cells, GC-generated tolerogenic dendritic cells (DC), regulatory T cells and the growth of lymphoma cells. In addition, we compared the data from in vivo and in silico experiments. The mathematical simulations indicated that treatment with GCs may suppress anti-tumor immune response in a dose-dependent manner. The model simulations were in line with earlier experimental observations of inhibitory effects of GCs on T and NK cells and DCs. The results of this study might be useful for predicting clinical outcomes in patients receiving GC therapy.

Project description:Peripheral immune tolerance is a key physiological mechanism sustained by the activity of regulatory cells that impedes immune reaction to self and non-dangerous antigens. Interleukin 10 (IL-10) plays a key immunosuppressive role in this system by inhibiting effector cells and instructing regulatory cells. While the molecular mechanisms and gene expression patterns defining identity and function of T regulatory cells have been deeply studied, the molecular pattern driving tolerogenicity in myeloid antigen presenting cells remain less defined. We have investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying IL-10 tolerogenic activity in human myeloid cells. By performing chromatin and transcriptomic studies in IL-10-induced monocyte-derived DC, we have found that IL-10 imprinted a pattern of accessible enhancers, which were exploited by Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR) to promote the expression of a set of core genes. Functional studies demonstrated that AHR activation and core gene expression were necessary for IL-10-mediated induction of tolerogenic functions in in vitro differentiated DC. AHR exerted its role down-stream to IL-10 inducing tolerogenic and repressing inflammatory genes. Analyses of naturally occurring tolerogenic DC from peripheral blood showed that the IL-10-induced AHR module was active also in vivo in healthy conditions. In multiple sclerosis patients, instead, we observed significant alterations in the IL-10-induced AHR module that correlated with functional defects and reduced frequencies of in vitro differentiated and in vivo occurring IL-10-induced tolerogenic DC, respectively. This study unveiled a previously undescribed IL-10-induced molecular mechanism required for establishing tolerogenic functions in human myeloid cells.
