ABC transporter activities of murine hematopoietic stem cells vary according to their developmental and activation status.
Primitive hematopoietic cells from several species are known to efflux both Hoechst 33342 and Rhodamine-123. We now show that murine hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) defined by long-term multilineage repopulation assays efflux both dyes variably according to their developmental or activation status. In day 14.5 murine fetal liver,very few HSCs efflux Hoechst 33342 efficiently,and they are thus not detected as side population" (SP) cells. HSCs in mouse fetal liver also fail to efflux Rhodamine-123. Both of these features are retained by most of the HSCs present until 4 weeks after birth but are reversed by 8 weeks of age or after a new HSC population is regenerated in adult mice that receive transplants with murine fetal liver cells. Activation of adult HSCs in vivo following 5-fluorouracil treatment�

Distinct requirements for activation of NKT and NK cells during viral infection
NK cells are key regulators of innate defense against mouse CMV (MCMV). Like NK cells,NKT cells also produce high levels of IFN-γ rapidly after MCMV infection. However,whether similar mechanisms govern activation of these two cell types,as well as the significance of NKT cells for host resistance,remain unknown. In this article,we show that,although both NKT and NK cells are activated via cytokines,their particular cytokine requirements differ significantly in vitro and in vivo. IL-12 is required for NKT cell activation in vitro but is not sufficient,whereas NK cells have the capacity to be activated more promiscuously in response to individual cytokines from innate cells. In line with these results,GM-CSF-derived dendritic cells activated only NK cells upon MCMV infection,consistent with their virtual lack of IL-12 production,whereas Flt3 ligand-derived dendritic cells produced IL-12 and activated both NK and NKT cells. In vivo,NKT cell activation was abolished in IL-12(-/-) mice infected with MCMV,whereas NK cells were still activated. In turn,splenic NK cell activation was more IL-18 dependent. The differential requirements for IL-12 and IL-18 correlated with the levels of cytokine receptor expression by NK and NKT cells. Finally,mice lacking NKT cells showed reduced control of MCMV,and depleting NK cells further enhanced viral replication. Taken together,our results show that NKT and NK cells have differing requirements for cytokine-mediated activation,and both can contribute nonredundantly to MCMV defense,revealing that these two innate lymphocyte subsets function together to fine-tune antiviral responses.

NK Cells Are Critical for Optimal Immunity to Experimental Trypanosoma congolense Infection.
NK cells are key innate immune cells that play critical roles in host defense. Although NK cells have been shown to regulate immunity to some infectious diseases,their role in immunity to Trypanosoma congolense has not been investigated. NK cells are vital sources of IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha; two key cytokines that are known to play important roles in resistance to African trypanosomes. In this article,we show that infection with T. congolense leads to increased levels of activated and functional NK cells in multiple tissue compartments. Systemic depletion of NK cells with anti-NK1.1 mAb led to increased parasitemia,which was accompanied by significant reduction in IFN-gamma production by immune cells in the spleens and liver of infected mice. Strikingly,infected NFIL3-/- mice (which genetically lack NK cell development and function) on the normally resistant background were highly susceptible to T. congolense infection. These mice developed fulminating and uncontrolled parasitemia and died significantly earlier (13 ± 1 d) than their wild-type control mice (106 ± 26 d). The enhanced susceptibility of NFIL3-/- mice to infection was accompanied by significantly impaired cytokine (IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha) response by CD3+ T cells in the spleens and liver. Adoptive transfer of NK cells into NFIL3-/- mice before infection rescued them from acute death in a perforin-dependent manner. Collectively,these studies show that NK cells are critical for optimal resistance to T. congolense,and its deficiency leads to enhanced susceptibility in infected mice.

Expression of lymphotoxin-alphabeta on antigen-specific T cells is required for DC function.
During an immune response,activated antigen (Ag)-specific T cells condition dendritic cells (DCs) to enhance DC function and survival within the inflamed draining lymph node (LN). It has been difficult to ascertain the role of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) superfamily member lymphotoxin-alphabeta (LTalphabeta) in this process because signaling through the LTbeta-receptor (LTbetaR) controls multiple aspects of lymphoid tissue organization. To resolve this,we have used an in vivo system where the expression of TNF family ligands is manipulated only on the Ag-specific T cells that interact with and condition Ag-bearing DCs. We report that LTalphabeta is a critical participant required for optimal DC function,independent of its described role in maintaining lymphoid tissue organization. In the absence of LTalphabeta or CD40L on Ag-specific T cells,DC dysfunction could be rescued in vivo via CD40 or LTbetaR stimulation,respectively,suggesting that these two pathways cooperate for optimal DC conditioning.

Clinical grade manufacturing of human alloantigen-reactive regulatory T cells for use in transplantation.
Regulatory T cell (Treg) therapy has the potential to induce transplantation tolerance so that immunosuppression and associated morbidity can be minimized. Alloantigen-reactive Tregs (arTregs) are more effective at preventing graft rejection than polyclonally expanded Tregs (PolyTregs) in murine models. We have developed a manufacturing process to expand human arTregs in short-term cultures using good manufacturing practice-compliant reagents. This process uses CD40L-activated allogeneic B cells to selectively expand arTregs followed by polyclonal restimulation to increase yield. Tregs expanded 100- to 1600-fold were highly alloantigen reactive and expressed the phenotype of stable Tregs. The alloantigen-expanded Tregs had a diverse TCR repertoire. They were more potent than PolyTregs in vitro and more effective at controlling allograft injuries in vivo in a humanized mouse model.

Effector cells derived from host CD8 memory T cells mediate rapid resistance against minor histocompatibility antigen-mismatched allogeneic marrow grafts without participation of perforin, Fas ligand, and the simultaneous inhibition of 3 tumor necrosis Fa
Reduced-intensity conditioning regimens for transplant recipients have heightened awareness of immunologic resistance to allogeneic bone marrow transplants (BMT). Although T cell-mediated cytotoxicity has been assumed to play a role in the resistance against donor allogeneic hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell grafts,several studies have reported relatively unimpaired resistance by recipients who lack perforin,Fas ligand (FasL),and other cytotoxic mediators. This study compared the early kinetics of T cell-mediated resistance in B6 (H2b) cytotoxically normal versus deficient recipients after transplantation with major histocompatibility complex-matched,minor histocompatibility antigen (MiHA)-mismatched allogeneic marrow grafts. Wild-type B6 or cytotoxic double-deficient perforin-/-/ gld+/+ (B6-cdd) mice were sensitized against major histocompatibility complex-matched BALB.B or C3H.SW (H2b) MiHA and transplanted with a high dose (1 ?? 107) of T cell-depleted bone marrow. CD8 T memory cells were shown to be present in recipients before BMT,and anti-CD8 monoclonal antibody infusion abolished resistance,thus demonstrating that CD8 T cells are the host effector population. Donor-committed and high proliferative potential progenitor numbers were markedly diminished by 48 hours after transplantation in both wild-type B6 and B6-cdd anti-donor MiHA-sensitized recipients. These observations indicate that the resistance pathway used in the cytotoxic deficient mice was both potent and rapidly induced - consistent with a CD8 memory T-cell response. To examine the role of Tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK)- and TL1A-mediated cytotoxicity in this strong resistance,newly generated monoclonal antibodies specific for these ligands were administered to B6-cdd recipients sensitized to donor antigens. Recipients of syngeneic B6-gfp bone marrow exhibited significant donor colony-forming unit numbers after BMT. In contrast,low or absent colony-forming unit levels were detected in allogeneic recipients,including those that lacked perforin and FasL and that received anti-TWEAK,anti-tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand,and anti-TL1A monoclonal antibodies. These findings extend previous observations by demonstrating the existence of a rapidly effected resistance pathway mediated by memory CD8 effector T cells independent of the 2 major pathways of cytotoxicity. Together with previous findings,these results support the notion that effector cells derived from memory CD8 T-cell populations can mediate strong resistance against donor allogeneic MiHA-disparate hematopoietic engraftment by using a mechanism that is independent of the contribution of perforin,FasL,and the known death ligand receptor pathways. ?? 2005 American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation.

Detection and quantification of circulating tumor cells in mouse models of human breast cancer using immunomagnetic enrichment and multiparameter flow cytometry.
BACKGROUND: Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the peripheral blood of breast cancer patients may be an important indicator of metastatic disease and poor prognosis. However,the use of experimental models is required to fully elucidate the functional consequences of CTCs. The purpose of this study was to optimize the sensitivity of multiparameter flow cytometry for detection of human tumor cells in mouse models of breast cancer. METHODS: MDA-MB-468 human breast cancer cells were serially diluted in whole mouse blood. Samples were lysed and incubated with a fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated anti-human leukocytic antigen antibody and a phycoerythrin-conjugated anti-mouse pan-leukocyte CD45 antibody. Samples were then immunomagnetically depleted of CD45-positive leukocytes,fixed,permeabilized,and stained with propidium iodide before flow cytometric analysis. RESULTS: Human breast cancer cells could be differentiated from mouse leukocytes based on increased light scatter,cell surface marker expression,and aneuploid DNA content. The method was found to have a lower sensitivity limit of 10(-5) and was effective for detecting human breast cancer cells in vivo in the circulation of experimental mice carrying primary human mammary tumors. CONCLUSIONS: This technique has the potential to be a valuable and sensitive tool for investigating the biological relevance of CTCs in experimental mouse models of breast cancer.

Therapeutic memory T cells require costimulation for effective clearance of a persistent viral infection.
Persistent viral infections are a major health concern worldwide. During persistent infection,overwhelming viral replication and the rapid loss of antiviral T-cell function can prevent immune-mediated clearance of the infection,and therapies to reanimate the immune response and purge persistent viruses have been largely unsuccessful. Adoptive immunotherapy using memory T cells is a highly successful therapeutic approach to eradicate a persistent viral infection. Understanding precisely how therapeutically administered memory T cells achieve clearance should improve our ability to terminate states of viral persistence in humans. Mice persistently infected from birth with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus are tolerant to the pathogen at the T-cell level and thus provide an excellent model to evaluate immunotherapeutic regimens. Previously,we demonstrated that adoptively transferred memory T cells require recipient dendritic cells to effectively purge an established persistent viral infection. However,the mechanisms that reactivate and sustain memory T-cell responses during clearance of such an infection remain unclear. Here we establish that therapeutic memory T cells require CD80 and CD86 costimulatory signals to efficiently clear an established persistent viral infection in vivo. Early blockade of costimulatory pathways with CTLA-4-Fc decreased the secondary expansion of virus-specific CD8(+) and CD4(+) memory T cells as well as their ability to produce antiviral cytokines and purge the persistent infection. Late costimulation blockade also reduced virus-specific T-cell numbers,illustrating that sustained interactions with costimulatory molecules is required for efficient T-cell expansion. These findings indicate that antiviral memory T cells require costimulation to efficiently clear a persistent viral infection and that costimulatory pathways can be targeted to modulate the magnitude of an adoptive immunotherapeutic regimen.

Successful expansion of functional and stable regulatory T cells for immunotherapy in liver transplantation.
Strategies to prevent organ transplant rejection whilst minimizing long-term immunosuppression are currently under intense investigation with regulatory T cells (Tregs) nearing clinical application. The clinical trial,ThRIL,recently commenced at King's College London,proposes to use Treg cell therapy to induce tolerance in liver transplant recipients,the success of which has the potential to revolutionize the management of these patients and enable a future of drug-free transplants. This is the first report of the manufacture of clinical grade Tregs from prospective liver transplant recipients via a CliniMACS-based GMP isolation technique and expanded using anti-CD3/CD28 beads,IL-2 and rapamycin. We report the enrichment of a pure,stable population of Tregs (textgreater95% CD4(+)CD25(+)FOXP3(+)),reaching adequate numbers for their clinical application. Our protocol proved successful in,influencing the expansion of superior functional Tregs,as compared to freshly isolated cells,whilst also preventing their conversion to Th17 cells under pro-inflammatory conditions. We conclude with the manufacture of the final Treg product in the clinical research facility (CRF),a prerequisite for the clinical application of these cells. The data presented in this manuscript together with the much-anticipated clinical results from ThRIL,will undoubtedly inform the improved management of the liver transplant recipient.
