Critical roles for IFN-beta in lymphoid development, myelopoiesis, and tumor development: links to tumor necrosis factor alpha.
We have generated mice null for IFN-beta and report the diverse consequences of IFN-beta for both the innate and adaptive arms of immunity. Despite no abnormalities in the proportional balance of CD4 and CD8 T cell populations in the peripheral blood,thymus,and spleen of IFN-beta-/- mice,activated lymph node and splenic T lymphocytes exhibit enhanced T cell proliferation and decreased tumor necrosis factor alpha production,relative to IFN-beta+/+ mice. Notably,constitutive and induced expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha is reduced in the spleen and bone marrow (BM) macrophages,respectively,of IFN-beta-/- mice. We also observe an altered splenic architecture in IFN-beta-/- mice and a reduction in resident macrophages. We identify a potential defect in B cell maturation in IFN-beta-/- mice,associated with a decrease in B220+ve/high/CD43-ve BM-derived cells and a reduction in BP-1,IgM,and CD23 expression. Circulating IgM-,Mac-1-,and Gr-1-positive cells are also substantially decreased in IFN-beta-/- mice. The decrease in the numbers of circulating macrophages and granulocytes likely reflects defective maturation of primitive BM hematopoiesis in mice,shown by the reduction of colony-forming units,granulocyte-macrophage. We proceeded to evaluate the in vivo growth of malignant cells in the IFN-beta-/- background and give evidence that Lewis lung carcinoma-specific tumor growth is more aggressive in IFN-beta-/- mice. Taken altogether,our data suggest that,in addition to the direct growth-inhibitory effects on tumor cells,IFN-beta is required during different stages of maturation in the development of the immune system.

Depletion of eosinophils in mice through the use of antibodies specific for C-C chemokine receptor 3 (CCR3).
We have generated rat monoclonal antibodies specific for the mouse eotaxin receptor,C-C chemokine receptor 3 (CCR3). Several anti-CCR3 mAbs proved to be useful for in vivo depletion of CCR3-expressing cells and immunofluorescent staining. In vivo CCR3 mAbs of the IgG2b isotype substantially depleted blood eosinophil levels in Nippostrongyus brasiliensis-infected mice. Repeated anti-CCR3 mAb treatment in these mice significantly reduced tissue eosinophilia in the lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Flow cytometry revealed that mCCR3 was expressed on eosinophils but not on stem cells,dendritic cells,or cells from the thymus,lymph node,or spleen of normal mice. Unlike human Th2 cells,mouse Th2 cells did not express detectable levels of CCR3 nor did they give a measurable response to eotaxin. None of the mAbs were antagonists or agonists of CCR3 calcium mobilization. To our knowledge,the antibodies described here are the first mAbs reported to be specific for mouse eosinophils and to be readily applicable for the detection,isolation,and in vivo depletion of eosinophils.

Nicotine activates nuclear factor of activated T cells c2 (NFATc2) and prevents cell cycle entry in T cells.
We used primary peripheral blood T cells,a population that exists in G(0) and can be stimulated to enter the cell cycle synchronously,to define more precisely the effects of nicotine on pathways that control cell cycle entry and progression. Our data show that nicotine decreased the ability of T cells to transit through the G(0)/G(1) boundary (acquire competence) and respond to progression signals. These effects were due to nuclear factor of activated T cells c2 (NFATc2)-dependent repression of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) expression. Growth arrest at the G(0)/G(1) boundary was further enforced by inhibition of cyclin D2 expression and by increased expression and stabilization of p27Kip1. Intriguingly,T cells from habitual users of tobacco products and from NFATc2-deficient mice constitutively expressed CDK4 and were resistant to the antiproliferative effects of nicotine. These results indicate that nicotine impairs T cell cycle entry through NFATc2-dependent mechanisms and suggest that,in the face of chronic nicotine exposure,selection may favor cells that can evade these effects. We postulate that cross talk between nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and growth factor receptor-activated pathways offers a novel mechanism by which nicotine may directly impinge on cell cycle progression. This offers insight into possible reasons that underlie the unique effects of nicotine on distinct cell types and identifies new targets that may be useful control tobacco-related diseases.

Biallelic mutations in IRF8 impair human NK cell maturation and function.
Human NK cell deficiencies are rare yet result in severe and often fatal disease,particularly as a result of viral susceptibility. NK cells develop from hematopoietic stem cells,and few monogenic errors that specifically interrupt NK cell development have been reported. Here we have described biallelic mutations in IRF8,which encodes an interferon regulatory factor,as a cause of familial NK cell deficiency that results in fatal and severe viral disease. Compound heterozygous or homozygous mutations in IRF8 in 3 unrelated families resulted in a paucity of mature CD56dim NK cells and an increase in the frequency of the immature CD56bright NK cells,and this impairment in terminal maturation was also observed in Irf8-/-,but not Irf8+/-,mice. We then determined that impaired maturation was NK cell intrinsic,and gene expression analysis of human NK cell developmental subsets showed that multiple genes were dysregulated by IRF8 mutation. The phenotype was accompanied by deficient NK cell function and was stable over time. Together,these data indicate that human NK cells require IRF8 for development and functional maturation and that dysregulation of this function results in severe human disease,thereby emphasizing a critical role for NK cells in human antiviral defense.

Phosphorylated ERM is responsible for increased T cell polarization, adhesion, and migration in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune/inflammatory disease characterized by autoantibody production and abnormal T cells that infiltrate tissues through not well-known mechanisms. We report that SLE T lymphocytes display increased levels of CD44,ezrin,radixin,and moesin (ERM) phosphorylation,stronger actin polymerization,higher polar cap formation,and enhanced adhesion and chemotactic migration compared with T cells from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and normal individuals. Silencing of CD44 by CD44 small interfering RNA in SLE T cells inhibited significantly their ability to adhere and migrate as did treatment with Rho kinase and actin polymerization inhibitors. Forced expression of T567D-ezrin,a phosphorylation-mimic form,enhanced remarkably the adhesion and migration rate of normal T cells. Anti-CD3/TCR autoantibodies present in SLE sera caused increased ERM phosphorylation,adhesion,and migration in normal T cells. pERM and CD44 are highly expressed in T cells infiltrating in the kidneys of patients with lupus nephritis. These data prove that increased ERM phosphorylation represents a key molecular abnormality that guides T cell adhesion and migration in SLE patients.

Impaired interferon signaling is a common immune defect in human cancer.
Immune dysfunction develops in patients with many cancer types and may contribute to tumor progression and failure of immunotherapy. Mechanisms underlying cancer-associated immune dysfunction are not fully understood. Efficient IFN signaling is critical to lymphocyte function; animals rendered deficient in IFN signaling develop cancer at higher rates. We hypothesized that altered IFN signaling may be a key mechanism of immune dysfunction common to cancer. To address this,we assessed the functional responses to IFN in peripheral blood lymphocytes from patients with 3 major cancers: breast cancer,melanoma,and gastrointestinal cancer. Type-I IFN (IFN-alpha)-induced signaling was reduced in T cells and B cells from all 3 cancer-patient groups compared to healthy controls. Type-II IFN (IFN-gamma)-induced signaling was reduced in B cells from all 3 cancer patient groups,but not in T cells or natural killer cells. Impaired-IFN signaling was equally evident in stage II,III,and IV breast cancer patients,and downstream functional defects in T cell activation were identified. Taken together,these findings indicate that defects in lymphocyte IFN signaling arise in patients with breast cancer,melanoma,and gastrointestinal cancer,and these defects may represent a common cancer-associated mechanism of immune dysfunction.

Early life exposure to lipopolysaccharide suppresses experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by promoting tolerogenic dendritic cells and regulatory T cells.
The rising incidence of autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS) in developed countries might be due to a more hygienic environment,particularly during early life. To investigate this concept,we developed a model of neonatal exposure to a common pathogen-associated molecular pattern,LPS,and determined its impact on experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Mice exposed to LPS at 2 wk of age showed a delayed onset and diminished severity of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)-induced EAE,induced at 12 wk,compared with vehicle-exposed animals. Spinal cord transcript levels of CD3epsilon and F4/80 were lower in LPS- compared with PBS-exposed EAE animals with increased IL-10 levels in the LPS-exposed group. Splenic CD11c(+) cells from LPS-exposed animals exhibited reduced MHC class II and CD83 expression but increased levels of CD80 and CD86 both before and during EAE. MOG-treated APC from LPS-exposed animals stimulated less T lymphocyte proliferation but increased expansion of CD4(+)FoxP3(+) T cells compared with APC from PBS-exposed animals. Neuropathological studies disclosed reduced myelin and axonal loss in spinal cords from LPS-exposed compared with PBS-exposed animals with EAE,and this neuroprotective effect was associated with an increased number of CD3(+)FoxP3(+) immunoreactive cells. Analyses of human brain tissue revealed that FoxP3 expression was detected in lymphocytes,albeit reduced in MS compared with non-MS patients' brains. These findings support the concept of early-life microbial exposure influencing the generation of neuroprotective regulatory T cells and may provide insights into new immunotherapeutic strategies for MS.

Anti-CD105 Antibody Eliminates Tumor Microenvironment Cells and Enhances Anti-GD2 Antibody Immunotherapy of Neuroblastoma with Activated Natural Killer Cells.
Purpose: We determined whether elimination of CD105+ cells in the tumor microenvironment (TME) with anti-CD105 antibodies enhanced anti-disialoganglioside (GD2) antibody dinutuximab therapy of neuroblastoma when combined with activated natural killer (aNK) cells.Experimental Design: The effect of MSCs and monocytes on antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) mediated by dinutuximab with aNK cells against neuroblastoma cells was determined in vitro. ADCC with anti-CD105 mAb TRC105 and aNK cells against MSCs,monocytes,and endothelial cells,which express CD105,was evaluated. Anti-neuroblastoma activity in immunodeficient NSG mice of dinutuximab with aNK cells without or with anti-CD105 mAbs was determined using neuroblastoma cell lines and a patient-derived xenograft.Results: ADCC mediated by dinutuximab with aNK cells against neuroblastoma cells in vitro was suppressed by addition of MSCs and monocytes,and dinutuximab with aNK cells was less effective against neuroblastomas formed with coinjected MSCs and monocytes in NSG mice than against those formed by tumor cells alone. Anti-CD105 antibody TRC105 with aNK cells mediated ADCC against MSCs,monocytes,and endothelial cells. Neuroblastomas formed in NSG mice by two neuroblastoma cell lines or a patient-derived xenograft coinjected with MSCs and monocytes were most effectively treated with dinutuximab and aNK cells when anti-human (TRC105) and anti-mouse (M1043) CD105 antibodies were added,which depleted human MSCs and murine endothelial cells and macrophages from the TME.Conclusions: Immunotherapy of neuroblastoma with anti-GD2 antibody dinutuximab and aNK cells is suppressed by CD105+ cells in the TME,but suppression is overcome by adding anti-CD105 antibodies to eliminate CD105+ cells.

Intrinsic Immunity Shapes Viral Resistance of Stem Cells.
Stem cells are highly resistant to viral infection compared to their differentiated progeny; however,the mechanism is mysterious. Here,we analyzed gene expression in mammalian stem cells and cells at various stages of differentiation. We find that,conserved across species,stem cells express a subset of genes previously classified as interferon (IFN) stimulated genes (ISGs) but that expression is intrinsic,as stem cells are refractory to interferon. This intrinsic ISG expression varies in a cell-type-specific manner,and many ISGs decrease upon differentiation,at which time cells become IFN responsive,allowing induction of a broad spectrum of ISGs by IFN signaling. Importantly,we show that intrinsically expressed ISGs protect stem cells against viral infection. We demonstrate the in vivo importance of intrinsic ISG expression for protecting stem cells and their differentiation potential during viral infection. These findings have intriguing implications for understanding stem cell biology and the evolution of pathogen resistance.
