Aging Converts Innate B1a Cells into Potent CD8+ T Cell Inducers.
B cell dysregulation in aging is thought to mostly occur in conventional B2 cells without affecting innate B1 cells. Elderly humans and mice also accumulate 4-1BBL(+)MHC class-I(Hi)CD86(Hi)B cells of unknown origin. In this article,we report that these cells,termed 4BL cells,are activated murine and possibly human B1a cells. The activation is mediated by aging human monocytes and murine peritoneal macrophages. They induce expression and activation of 4-1BBL and IFN-γR1 on B1a cells to subsequently upregulate membrane TNF-α and CD86. As a result,activated B1a/4BL cells induce expression of granzyme B in CD8(+)T cells by targeting TNFR2 via membrane TNF-α and providing costimulation with CD86. Thus,for the first time,to our knowledge,these results indicate that aging affects the function of B1a cells. Upon aging,these cells lose their tumor-supporting activity and become inducers of potentially antitumor and autoimmune CD8(+)T cells.

Cutting Edge: Rag deletion in peripheral T cells blocks TCR revision.
Mature CD4(+)Vbeta5(+) T cells that recognize a peripherally expressed endogenous superantigen are tolerized either by deletion or TCR revision. In Vbeta5 transgenic mice,this latter tolerance pathway results in the appearance of CD4(+)Vbeta5(-)TCRbeta(+) T cells,coinciding with Rag1,Rag2,and TdT expression and the accumulation of V(beta)-DJ(beta) recombination intermediates in peripheral CD4(+) T cells. Because postthymic RAG-dependent TCR rearrangement has remained controversial,we sought to definitively determine whether TCR revision is an extrathymic process that occurs in mature peripheral T cells. We show in this study that Rag deletion in post-positive selection T cells in Vbeta5 transgenic mice blocks TCR revision in vivo and that mature peripheral T cells sorted to remove cells bearing endogenous TCRbeta-chains can express newly generated TCRbeta molecules in adoptive hosts. These findings unambiguously demonstrate postthymic,RAG-dependent TCR rearrangement and define TCR revision as a tolerance pathway that targets mature peripheral CD4(+) T cells.

Engineering T Cells with Customized Therapeutic Response Programs Using Synthetic Notch Receptors
Redirecting T cells to attack cancer using engineered chimeric receptors provides powerful new therapeutic capabilities. However,the effectiveness of therapeutic T cells is constrained by the endogenous T cell response: certain facets of natural response programs can be toxic,whereas other responses,such as the ability to overcome tumor immunosuppression,are absent. Thus,the efficacy and safety of therapeutic cells could be improved if we could custom sculpt immune cell responses. Synthetic Notch (synNotch) receptors induce transcriptional activation in response to recognition of user-specified antigens. We show that synNotch receptors can be used to sculpt custom response programs in primary T cells: they can drive a la carte cytokine secretion profiles,biased T cell differentiation,and local delivery of non-native therapeutic payloads,such as antibodies,in response to antigen. SynNotch T cells can thus be used as a general platform to recognize and remodel local microenvironments associated with diverse diseases.

DNA methylation maintains allele-specific KIR gene expression in human natural killer cells.
Killer immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) bind self-major histocompatibility complex class I molecules,allowing natural killer (NK) cells to recognize aberrant cells that have down-regulated class I. NK cells express variable numbers and combinations of highly homologous clonally restricted KIR genes,but uniformly express KIR2DL4. We show that NK clones express both 2DL4 alleles and either one or both alleles of the clonally restricted KIR 3DL1 and 3DL2 genes. Despite allele-independent expression,3DL1 alleles differed in the core promoter by only one or two nucleotides. Allele-specific 3DL1 gene expression correlated with promoter and 5' gene DNA hypomethylation in NK cells in vitro and in vivo. The DNA methylase inhibitor,5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine,induced KIR DNA hypomethylation and heterogeneous expression of multiple KIR genes. Thus,NK cells use DNA methylation to maintain clonally restricted expression of highly homologous KIR genes and alleles.

NK cells enhance dendritic cell response against parasite antigens via NKG2D pathway.
Recent studies have shown that NK-dendritic cell (DC) interaction plays an important role in the induction of immune response against tumors and certain viruses. Although the effect of this interaction is bidirectional,the mechanism or molecules involved in this cross-talk have not been identified. In this study,we report that coculture with NK cells causes several fold increase in IL-12 production by Toxoplasma gondii lysate Ag-pulsed DC. This interaction also leads to stronger priming of Ag-specific CD8+ T cell response by these cells. In vitro blockade of NKG2D,a molecule present on human and murine NK cells,neutralizes the NK cell-induced up-regulation of DC response. Moreover,treatment of infected animals with Ab to NKG2D receptor compromises the development of Ag-specific CD8+ T cell immunity and reduces their ability to clear parasites. These studies emphasize the critical role played by NKG2D in the NK-DC interaction,which apparently is important for the generation of robust CD8+ T cell immunity against intracellular pathogens. To the best of our knowledge,this is the first work that describes in vivo importance of NKG2D during natural infection.

Tumor-induced apoptosis of human IL-2-activated NK cells: role of natural cytotoxicity receptors.
We provide evidence that tumor cells can induce apoptosis of NK cells by engaging the natural cytotoxicity receptors (NCR) NKp30,NKp44,and NKp46. Indeed,the binding between NCR on NK cells and their putative ligands on tumor target cells led to NK cell apoptosis,and this event was abolished by blocking NCR/NCR-ligand interaction by anti-NCR-specific mAbs. The engagement of NCR induced up-regulation of Fas ligand (FasL) mRNA,FasL protein synthesis,and release. In turn,FasL interacting with Fas at NK cell surface causes NK cell suicide,as apoptosis of NK cells was inhibited by blocking FasL/Fas interaction with specific mAbs. Interestingly,NK cell apoptosis,but not killing of tumor target cells,is inhibited by cyclosporin A,suggesting that apoptosis and cytolysis are regulated by different biochemical pathways. These findings indicate that NCR are not only triggering molecules essential for antitumor activity,but also surface receptors involved in NK cell suicide.

TLR activation of Langerhans cell-like dendritic cells triggers an antiviral immune response.
Langerhans cells (LC) are a unique subset of dendritic cells (DC),present in the epidermis and serving as the first line of defense against pathogens invading the skin. To investigate the role of human LCs in innate immune responses,we examined TLR expression and function of LC-like DCs derived from CD34+ progenitor cells and compared them to DCs derived from peripheral blood monocytes (monocyte-derived DC; Mo-DC). LC-like DCs and Mo-DCs expressed TLR1-10 mRNAs at comparable levels. Although many of the TLR-induced cytokine patterns were similar between the two cell types,stimulation with the TLR3 agonist poly(I:C) triggered significantly higher amounts of the IFN-inducible chemokines CXCL9 (monokine induced by IFN-gamma) and CXCL11 (IFN-gamma-inducible T cell alpha chemoattractant) in LC-like DCs as compared with Mo-DCs. Supernatants from TLR3-activated LC-like DCs reduced intracellular replication of vesicular stomatitis virus in a type I IFN-dependent manner. Finally,CXCL9 colocalized with LCs in skin biopsy specimens from viral infections. Together,our data suggest that LCs exhibit a direct antiviral activity that is dependent on type I IFN as part of the innate immune system.

Identification of an interleukin 17F/17A heterodimer in activated human CD4+ T cells.
IL-17F and IL-17A are members of the IL-17 pro-inflammatory cytokine family. IL-17A has been implicated in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. IL-17F is a disulfide-linked dimer that contains a cysteine-knot motif. We hypothesized that IL-17F and IL-17A could form a heterodimer due to their sequence homology and overlapping pattern of expression. We evaluated the structure of recombinant IL-17F and IL-17A proteins,as well as that of natural IL-17F and IL-17A derived from activated human CD4+ T cells,by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,immunoprecipitation followed by Western blotting,and mass spectrometry. We find that both IL-17F and IL-17A can form both homodimeric and heterodimeric proteins when expressed in a recombinant system,and that all forms of the recombinant proteins have in vitro functional activity. Furthermore,we find that in addition to the homodimers of IL-17F and IL-17A,activated human CD4+ T cells also produce the IL-17F/IL-17A heterodimer. These data suggest that the IL-17F/IL-17A heterodimer may contribute to the T cell-mediated immune responses.

Latent HIV reservoirs exhibit inherent resistance to elimination by CD8+ T cells.
The presence of persistent,latent HIV reservoirs in CD4+ T cells obstructs current efforts to cure infection. The so-called kick-and-kill paradigm proposes to purge these reservoirs by combining latency-reversing agents with immune effectors such as cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Support for this approach is largely based on success in latency models,which do not fully reflect the makeup of latent reservoirs in individuals on long-term antiretroviral therapy (ART). Recent studies have shown that CD8+ T cells have the potential to recognize defective proviruses,which comprise the vast majority of all infected cells,and that the proviral landscape can be shaped over time due to in vivo clonal expansion of infected CD4+ T cells. Here,we have shown that treating CD4+ T cells from ART-treated individuals with combinations of potent latency-reversing agents and autologous CD8+ T cells consistently reduced cell-associated HIV DNA,but failed to deplete replication-competent virus. These CD8+ T cells recognized and potently eliminated CD4+ T cells that were newly infected with autologous reservoir virus,ruling out a role for both immune escape and CD8+ T cell dysfunction. Thus,our results suggest that cells harboring replication-competent HIV possess an inherent resistance to CD8+ T cells that may need to be addressed to cure infection.
