Enhanced phagocytosis of Candida species mediated by opsonization with a recombinant human antibody single-chain variable fragment.
Specific antibody opsonization significantly enhances the level of phagocytosis of Candida in the absence of complement. Furthermore,we have described a system using a recombinant human antibody single-chain variable fragment that allows a comparative study of phagocytosis of multiple Candida species opsonized via a common antigen.

IL-10-produced by human transitional B-cells down-regulates CD86 expression on B-cells leading to inhibition of CD4+T-cell responses.
A novel subset of human regulatory B-cells has recently been described. They arise from within the transitional B-cell subpopulation and are characterised by the production of IL-10. They appear to be of significant importance in regulating T-cell immunity in vivo. Despite this important function,the molecular mechanisms by which they control T-cell activation are incompletely defined. Here we show that transitional B-cells produced more IL-10 and expressed higher levels of IL-10 receptor after CD40 engagement compared to other B-cell subsets. Furthermore,under this stimulatory condition,CD86 expressed by transitional B-cells was down regulated and T-cell proliferation was reduced. We provide evidence to demonstrate that the down-regulation of CD86 expression by transitional B-cells was due to the autocrine effect of IL-10,which in turn leads to decreased T-cell proliferation and TNF-α production. This analysis was further extended to peripheral B-cells in kidney transplant recipients. We observed that B-cells from patients tolerant to the graft maintained higher IL-10 production after CD40 ligation,which correlates with lower CD86 expression compared to patients with chronic rejection. Hence,the results obtained in this study shed light on a new alternative mechanism by which transitional B-cells inhibit T-cell proliferation and cytokine production.

TRAIL-mediated killing of acute lymphoblastic leukemia by plasmacytoid dendritic cell-activated natural killer cells.
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) still frequently recurs after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT),underscoring the need to improve the graft-versus-leukemia (GvL) effect. Natural killer (NK) cells reconstitute in the first months following HSCT when leukemia burden is at its lowest,but ALL cells have been shown to be resistant to NK cell-mediated killing. We show here that this resistance is overcome by NK cell stimulation with TLR-9-activated plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs). NK cell priming with activated pDCs resulted in TRAIL and CD69 up-regulation on NK cells and IFN-γ production. NK cell activation was dependent on IFN-α produced by pDCs,but was not reproduced by IFN-α alone. ALL killing was further enhanced by inhibition of KIR engagement. We showed that ALL lysis was mainly mediated by TRAIL engagement,while the release of cytolytic granules was involved when ALL expressed NK cell activating receptor ligands. Finally,adoptive transfers of activated-pDCs in ALL-bearing humanized mice delayed the leukemia onset and cure 30% of mice. Our data therefore demonstrate that TLR-9 activated pDCs are a powerful tool to overcome ALL resistance to NK cell-mediated killing and to reinforce the GvL effect of HSCT. These results open new therapeutic avenues to prevent relapse in children with ALL.

Forodesine, an inhibitor of purine nucleoside phosphorylase, induces apoptosis in chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells.
Purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) deficiency in humans results in T lymphocytopenia. Forodesine,a potent inhibitor of PNP,was designed based on the transition-state structure stabilized by the enzyme. Previous studies established that forodesine in the presence of deoxyguanosine (dGuo) inhibits the proliferation of T lymphocytes. A phase 1 clinical trial of forodesine in T-cell malignancies demonstrated significant antileukemic activity with an increase in intracellular dGuo triphosphate (dGTP). High accumulation of dGTP in T cells may be dependent on the levels of deoxynucleoside kinases. Because B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells have high activity of deoxycytidine kinase (dCK),we hypothesized that these lymphocytes would respond to forodesine. This postulate was tested in primary lymphocytes during in vitro investigations. Lymphocytes from 12 patients with CLL were incubated with forodesine and dGuo. These CLL cells showed a wide variation in the accumulation of intracellular dGTP without any effect on other deoxynucleotides. This was associated with DNA damage-induced p53 stabilization,phosphorylation of p53 at Ser15,and activation of p21. The dGTP accumulation was related to induction of apoptosis measured by caspase activation,changes in mitochondrial membrane potential,and PARP cleavage. Based on these data,a phase 2 clinical trial of forodesine has been initiated for CLL patients.

Criteria for Dendritic Cell Receptor Selection for Efficient Antibody-Targeted Vaccination
Ab-targeted vaccination involves targeting a receptor of choice expressed by dendritic cells (DCs) with Ag-coupled Abs. Currently,there is little consensus as to which criteria determine receptor selection to ensure superior Ag presentation and immunity. In this study,we investigated parameters of DC receptor internalization and determined how they impact Ag presentation outcomes. First,using mixed bone marrow chimeras,we established that Ag-targeted,but not nontargeted,DCs are responsible for Ag presentation in settings of Ab-targeted vaccination in vivo. Next,we analyzed parameters of DEC205 (CD205),Clec9A,CD11c,CD11b,and CD40 endocytosis and obtained quantitative measurements of internalization speed,surface turnover,and delivered Ag load. Exploiting these parameters in MHC class I (MHC I) and MHC class II (MHC II) Ag presentation assays,we showed that receptor expression level,proportion of surface turnover,or speed of receptor internalization did not impact MHC I or MHC II Ag presentation efficiency. Furthermore,the Ag load delivered to DCs did not correlate with the efficiency of MHC I or MHC II Ag presentation. In contrast,targeting Ag to CD8(+) or CD8(-) DCs enhanced MHC I or MHC II Ag presentation,respectively. Therefore,receptor expression levels,speed of internalization,and/or the amount of Ag delivered can be excluded as major determinants that dictate Ag presentation efficiency in setting of Ab-targeted vaccination.

T-cell suppression mediated by mesenchymal stem cells is deficient in patients with severe aplastic anemia.
OBJECTIVE: To compare the suppressive effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC),derived from normal individuals or severe aplastic anemia patients (SAA),on T-cell activation. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We studied bone marrow MSC from 19 healthy donors and 23 SAA patients in different phases of the disease: at diagnosis (n = 3),following immunosuppressive therapy (IS) (n = 16),or after a bone marrow transplant (BMT) (n = 4). MSC were tested for T-cell suppression in the following assays: mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR),phytohemaglutinin (PHA)-primed cultures,activation surface markers,gamma-IFN production,hematopoietic colony formation (CFC),production of cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR). RESULTS: The abnormalities of SAA MSC included: 1) significantly lower suppression of T-cell proliferation induced by alloantigens (p = 0.009) or PHA (p = 0.006); 2) impaired capacity to suppress CD38 expression on PHA-primed T cells (p = 0.001); 3) impaired ability to suppress gamma-IFN production in PHA cultures,resulting in an 11-fold higher gamma-IFN concentration; 4) no preventive effect on T cell-mediated inhibition of CFC; and 5) significantly reduced (p = 0.009) production of cADPR,a universal calcium mobilizer. MSC-mediated suppression of PHA-induced T-cell proliferation was restored to control levels in 3 of 4 patients post-BMT. CONCLUSION: The ability of MSC to downregulate T-cell priming,proliferation,and cytokine release is deficient in patients with SAA,persists indefinitely after immunosuppressive therapy,but seems to be restored after BMT. Whether these abnormalities are relevant to the pathogenesis of aplastic anemia remains to be determined.

Effector and Regulatory T Cells Roll at High Shear Stress by Inducible Tether and Sling Formation.
The adaptive immune response involves T cell differentiation and migration to sites of inflammation. T cell trafficking is initiated by rolling on inflamed endothelium. Tethers and slings,discovered in neutrophils,facilitate cell rolling at high shear stress. Here,we demonstrate that the ability to form tethers and slings during rolling is highly inducible in T helper 1 (Th1),Th17,and regulatory T (Treg) cells but less in Th2 cells. In vivo,endogenous Treg cells rolled stably in cremaster venules at physiological shear stress. Quantitative dynamic footprinting nanoscopy of Th1,Th17,and Treg cells uncovered the formation of multiple tethers per cell. Human Th1 cells also showed tethers and slings. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) revealed the induction of cell migration and cytoskeletal genes in sling-forming cells. We conclude that differentiated CD4 T cells stabilize rolling by inducible tether and sling formation. These phenotypic changes approximate the adhesion phenotype of neutrophils and support CD4 T cell access to sites of inflammation.

CD160 activation by herpesvirus entry mediator augments inflammatory cytokine production and cytolytic function by NK cells.
Lymphocyte activation is regulated by costimulatory and inhibitory receptors,of which both B and T lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) and CD160 engage herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM). Notably,it remains unclear how HVEM functions with each of its ligands during immune responses. In this study,we show that HVEM specifically activates CD160 on effector NK cells challenged with virus-infected cells. Human CD56(dim) NK cells were costimulated specifically by HVEM but not by other receptors that share the HVEM ligands LIGHT,Lymphotoxin-α,or BTLA. HVEM enhanced human NK cell activation by type I IFN and IL-2,resulting in increased IFN-γ and TNF-α secretion,and tumor cell-expressed HVEM activated CD160 in a human NK cell line,causing rapid hyperphosphorylation of serine kinases ERK1/2 and AKT and enhanced cytolysis of target cells. In contrast,HVEM activation of BTLA reduced cytolysis of target cells. Together,our results demonstrate that HVEM functions as a regulator of immune function that activates NK cells via CD160 and limits lymphocyte-induced inflammation via association with BTLA.

Women with the Alzheimer's risk marker ApoE4 lose A-specific CD4 T cells 10-20 years before men.
Adaptive immunity to self-antigens causes autoimmune disorders,such as multiple sclerosis,psoriasis and type 1 diabetes; paradoxically,T- and B-cell responses to amyloid-$\$(A$\$) reduce Alzheimer's disease (AD)-associated pathology and cognitive impairment in mouse models of the disease. The manipulation of adaptive immunity has been a promising therapeutic approach for the treatment of AD,although vaccine and anti-A$\$ approaches have proven difficult in patients,thus far. CD4(+) T cells have a central role in regulating adaptive immune responses to antigens,and A$\$-specific CD4(+) T cells have been shown to reduce AD pathology in mouse models. As these cells may facilitate endogenous mechanisms that counter AD,an evaluation of their abundance before and during AD could provide important insights. A$\$-CD4see is a new assay developed to quantify A$\$-specific CD4(+) T cells in human blood,using dendritic cells derived from human pluripotent stem cells. In tests of textgreater50 human subjects A$\$-CD4see showed an age-dependent decline of A$\$-specific CD4(+) T cells,which occurs earlier in women than men. In aggregate,men showed a 50% decline in these cells by the age of 70 years,but women reached the same level before the age of 60 years. Notably,women who carried the AD risk marker apolipoproteinE-ɛ4 (ApoE4) showed the earliest decline,with a precipitous drop between 45 and 52 years,when menopause typically begins. A$\$-CD4see requires a standard blood draw and provides a minimally invasive approach for assessing changes in A$\$ that may reveal AD-related changes in physiology by a decade. Furthermore,CD4see probes can be modified to target any peptide,providing a powerful new tool to isolate antigen-specific CD4(+) T cells from human subjects.

Non-random pairing of CD46 isoforms with skewing towards BC2 and C2 in activated and memory/effector T cells.
CD46 is a glycoprotein with important functions in innate and adaptive immune responses. Functionally different isoforms are generated by alternative splicing at exons 7-9 (BC and C isoforms) and exon 13 (CYT-1 and CYT-2 isoforms) giving rise to BC1,BC2,C1 and C2. We developed a novel real-time PCR assay that allows quantitative comparisons between these isoforms. Their relative frequency in CD4(+) T cells from 100 donors revealed a distribution with high interpersonally variability. Importantly,the distribution between the isoforms was not random and although splicing favoured inclusion of exon 8 (BC isoforms),exclusion of exon 8 (C isoforms) was significantly linked to exclusion of exon 13 (CYT-2 isoforms). Despite inter-individual differences,CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells,B cells,NK cells and monocytes expressed similar isoform profiles intra-individually. However,memory/effector CD4(+) T cells had a significantly higher frequency of CYT-2 when compared with naïve CD4(+) T cells. Likewise,in vitro activation of naïve and total CD4(+) T cells increased the expression of CYT-2. This indicates that although splicing factors determine a certain expression profile in an individual,the profile can be modulated by external stimuli. This suggests a mechanism by which alterations in CD46 isoforms may temporarily regulate the immune response.
