CD8αα+MHC-II+ Cell with Capacity to Terminate Autoimmune Inflammation Is A Novel Antigen-Presenting NK-like cell in Rats

ABSTRACT: Discovery of immune tolerance mechanisms, which inhibit pre-existing autoimmune inflammation, may provide us with new strategies for treating autoimmune diseases. We have identified a CD8αα+MHC-II+ cell with professional APC capacity during our investigation on spontaneous recovery from autoimmune glomerulonephritis in a rat model. This cell actively invades inflamed target tissue to terminate an on-going autoimmune inflammation by selective killing of effector autoreactive T cells. Now, we showed that this cell used a cytotoxic machinery of Ly49s+ NK cells in killing of target T cells. Thus, this CD8αα+MHC-II+ cell, which previously was thought a professional APC, is an antigen presenting-NK (AP-NK) cell. Following its coupling with target T cells through antigen presentation, killing stimulatory receptor Ly49s6 and co-receptor CD8αα on this cell used non-classic MHC-I RT1CE16 on the target T cells as a ligand to initiate killing. Thus, activated effector T cells with elevated expression of RT1CE16 were highly susceptible to the killing by the CD8αα+ AP-NK cell. Granule cytolytic perforin/granzyme C from this cell subsequently mediated cytotoxicity, and thus, inhibition of granzyme C effectively attenuated the killing. As it can recognize and eliminate effector autoreactive T cells in the inflamed target tissue, CD8αα+ AP-NK cell not only represents a new type of immune cell involved in immune tolerance, but also is a potential candidate for developing a cell-based therapy for pre-existing autoimmune diseases.

The transcription factor Tcf1 ensures the development and cytotoxic function of NK cells by limiting the expression of Granzymes [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:The transcription factor Tcf1 plays an essential role for the development of NK cells, however, its precise role for NK cell development, maturation and function is poorly understood. Here we show that distinct domains of Tcf1 direct bone marrow progenitors towards the NK cell lineage and mediate lineage commitment and NK cell expansion, and that Tcf1 downregulation is required for terminal NK cell maturation. Impaired NK cell development in the absence of Tcf1 is explained by increased cell death due to excessive expression of Granzyme family proteins, which results in NK cell self-destruction. In addition, excessive Granzyme B expression leads to target cell induced NK cell death and consequently reduced target cell killing by NK cells lacking Tcf1. Mechanistically, Tcf1 prevents excessive Granzyme B expression by binding to a newly identified enhancer element upstream of the Granzyme B locus. These data identify an unexpected requirement to limit the expression of cytotoxic effector molecules for lymphocyte development.

IGR_DNA_DAMAGE_STUDY_FM

Project description:Granzyme B plays a key role in cell-mediated programmed cell death. We previously demonstrated that p53 is a functional determinant in the Granzyme B-induced cytotoxic T lymphocyte response. However, the pathways leading to activation of p53 by Granzyme B remain incompletely understood. We now demonstrate that Granzyme B induced DNA damage signaling as revealed by histone H2AX phosphorylation and subsequent activation of the stress kinase CHK2. Confocal microscopy analysis indicates that Granzyme B treatment of tumor cells induced an early translocation of endonuclease caspase-activated DNase. DNA microarray based global transcriptional profiling and RT-PCR indeed revealed genes related to DNA damage. Among these genes, hSMG-1, a genotoxic stress-activated protein, was constantly upregulated in tumor cells following Granzyme B treatment. Knockdown of the hSMG-1 gene in T1 tumor target cell line resulted in a significant inhibition of Granzyme B- and CTL-induced killing. Our data suggest that Granzyme B may exert cell death through DNA damage signaling and uncover a novel molecular link between the DNA damage pathway and Granzyme B-induced cell death.

Cytokine-enhanced cytolytic activity of Exosomes from NK Cells

Project description:Natural killer (NK) cells are a type of innate lymphocytes that play key roles in immune surveillance against tumors and viral infection. NK cells distinguish abnormal cells from healthy cells by cell-cell interaction with cell surface proteins and then attack target cells via multiple mechanisms involving TRAIL, Fas Ligand, cytokine secretion, perforin, and granzymes. In addition, extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes derived from NK cells (NK-EVs), possess cytotoxic capacity against tumor cells, but their characteristics and regulation by cytokines remain unknown. Here, we report that EVs derived from human NK-92 cells stimulated with IL-15 + IL-21 show enhanced cytotoxic capacity against tumor cells in a granzyme B independent manner. In addition, small RNA-seq and mass spectrometry analyses indicate that miRNA and protein profiles in EVs are altered by cytokine stimulation. We also show NK-EVs are taken up by target cells via macropinocytosis. Collectively, our findings reveal novel characteristics of NK-EVs and the mechanism of their incorporation into target cells.

Genome-wide CRISPR screen reveals cancer cell resistance to NK cells induced by NK-derived IFN-gamma

Project description:The anti-leukemia activity of NK cells helps to prevent relapse during hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in leukemia patients. However, the factors that determine sensitivity or resistance of leukemia cells in the context of NK-mediated cytotoxicity are not well established. Here we performed a genome-wide CRIPSR screen in the human chronic-myelogenous-leukemia (CML) cell line K562 to identify genes that regulate vulnerability of leukemia cells to killing by primary human NK cells. Distribution of guide RNAs (gRNAs) in K562 cells that survived co-incubation with NK cells showed that loss of NCR3LG1, which encodes the ligand of the natural cytotoxicity receptor NKp30, protected K562 cells from killing. In contrast, loss of genes that regulate pathways for antigen-presentation and interferon-gamma-signaling increased the vulnerability of K562 cells. Addition of IFN-gamma neutralizing antibody increased the susceptibility of K562 cells to NK-mediated killing. Upregulation of MHC class I on K562 cells after co-incubation with NK cells was dependent on IFNGR2. Analysis of RNA-seq data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) showed that low IFNGR2 expression in cancer tissues associated with improved overall survival in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma (KIRC) patients. Our results showing that upregulation of MHC class I by NK-derived IFN-gamma leads to resistance to NK cytotoxicity suggest that targeting IFN-gamma responses might be a promising approach to enhance NK cell anti-cancer efficacy.

Single-cell characterization of immune aplastic anemia reveals convergence of adaptive and innate immunity: in vitro

Project description:Immune aplastic anemia (AA) is a life-threatening bone marrow (BM) failure disorder driven by an autoimmune T cell attack against the hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). However, the autoantigen targets and the role of other immune cells are unknown. Here, by combining scRNA+TCRαβ-seq, TCRβ-seq, flow cytometry and plasma cytokine profiling of >250 patients with AA, >250 patients with other hematological disorders and >1,000 healthy controls, we identify NK cells and CD8+ TEMRA cells expressing NK receptors with AA-associated TCRB-seq motifs as the most dysregulated immune cell populations in AA BM. Functional co-culture experiments with scRNA-TCRαβ-seq readout utilizing primary HSPCs and immune cells (in total 55 conditions) provide evidence that NK cells alone cannot kill HSPCs, but sensitize them to CD8+ T cell mediated killing. Furthermore, HSPCs induce strong activation of T cell clones with CD8+ TEMRA NK-like phenotype and AA-associated TCR motifs. To conclude, our results reveal convergent evolution of innate and adaptive immune cells in AA, where NK cells support CD8+ T cell mediated autoimmunity.

IGR_NANBAKHSH_HOXB4

Project description:We have previously shown that human umbilical cord blood CD34+ progenitor cells undergo in vitro differentiation into functional NK cells and that their co-culture in the presence of HOXB4 transduced stromal MS5 cells resulted in an increase in differentiated NK number. The present study was conducted to compare the stromal effect on NK lytic potential in the presence and absence of HOXB4. Our results provide evidence that HOXB4 transduced MS5 cells as compared to transduced, GFP (+) MS5 cells induced highly differentiated cytotoxic NK cells. Importantly, this difference was not due to the expression of activating NK receptors but was associated with an increased induction of granzyme B degranulation in response to stimulation with NK cell-susceptible targets. DNA microarray-based global transcriptional profiling confirmed the up-regulation of granzyme B. These findings provide further evidence that HOXB4 is a crucial regulator of NK function and that its use in generating functional NK cells with increased lytic potential may be significant for cancer immunotherapy.

CD47 in the tumor microenvironment and CD47 antibody blockade regulate natural killer cell recruitment and activation

Project description:Elevated CD47 expression in some cancers is associated with decreased survival and limits phagocytic clearance by engaging its counter-receptor SIRPα, but elevated CD47 mRNA expression in human melanomas is associated with improved survival. Gene expression data suggested that recruitment of natural killer (NK) cells, which highly express CD47, into the tumor microenvironment contribute to this correlation. The CD47 ligand thrombospondin-1 inhibited wildtype but not Cd47-/- murine NK cell proliferation and granzyme B and interferon-γ expression in vitro. Cd47-/- NK cells correspondingly showed augmented effector phenotypes. Although, wildtype and Cd47-/- NK cells were equally effective for killing B16 melanoma cells in vitro, Cd47-/- mice exhibited enhanced B16 tumor growth in vivo. Consistent with the human data, tumor-bearing Cd47-/- mice had decreased splenic NK numbers with impaired effector protein expression and elevated exhaustion markers. A pro-apoptotic signature in Cd47-/- NK cells was associated with stress-mediated elevation of mitochondrial proton leak, increased reactive oxygen species and apoptosis. Gene expression profiling identified CD47-dependent transcriptional responses in in NK cells from tumor-bearing mice that regulate systemic NK activation and exhaustion. Treating wildtype mice with a CD47 antibody that blocks thrombospondin-1 binding delayed tumor growth and was associated with increased NK recruitment and increased granzyme B- and interferon-γ levels in intratumoral NK but not CD8+ T cells. Therefore, CD47 in the tumor microenvironment regulates NK-mediated tumor immunity, and therapeutic blockade enhances NK immune function.
