Human blood BDCA-1 dendritic cells differentiate into Langerhans-like cells with thymic stromal lymphopoietin and TGF-β.
The ontogeny of human Langerhans cells (LCs) remains poorly characterized,in particular the nature of LC precursors and the factors that may drive LC differentiation. Here we report that thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP),a keratinocyte-derived cytokine involved in epithelial inflammation,cooperates with transforming growth factor (TGF)-β for the generation of LCs. We show that primary human blood BDCA-1(+),but not BDCA-3(+),dendritic cells (DCs) stimulated with TSLP and TGF-β harbor a typical CD1a(+)Langerin(+) LC phenotype. Electron microscopy established the presence of Birbeck granules,an intracellular organelle specific to LCs. LC differentiation was not observed from tonsil BDCA-1(+) and BDCA-3(+) subsets. TSLP + TGF-β LCs had a mature phenotype with high surface levels of CD80,CD86,and CD40. They induced a potent CD4(+) T-helper (Th) cell expansion and differentiation into Th2 cells with increased production of tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin-6 compared with CD34-derived LCs. Our findings establish a novel LC differentiation pathway from BDCA-1(+) blood DCs with potential implications in epithelial inflammation. Therapeutic targeting of TSLP may interfere with tissue LC repopulation from circulating precursors.

Naive Pluripotent Stem Cells Derived Directly from Isolated Cells of the Human Inner Cell Mass
Conventional generation of stem cells from human blastocysts produces a developmentally advanced,or primed,stage of pluripotency. In vitro resetting to a more naive phenotype has been reported. However,whether the reset culture conditions of selective kinase inhibition can enable capture of naive epiblast cells directly from the embryo has not been determined. Here,we show that in these specific conditions individual inner cell mass cells grow into colonies that may then be expanded over multiple passages while retaining a diploid karyotype and naive properties. The cells express hallmark naive pluripotency factors and additionally display features of mitochondrial respiration,global gene expression,and genome-wide hypomethylation distinct from primed cells. They transition through primed pluripotency into somatic lineage differentiation. Collectively these attributes suggest classification as human naive embryonic stem cells. Human counterparts of canonical mouse embryonic stem cells would argue for conservation in the phased progression of pluripotency in mammals.

Differentiation of reprogrammed human adipose mesenchymal stem cells toward neural cells with defined transcription factors
Somatic cell reprogramming may become a powerful approach to generate specific human cell types for cell-fate determination studies and potential transplantation therapies of neurological diseases. Here we report a reprogramming methodology with which human adipose stem cells (hADSCs) can be differentiated into neural cells. After being reprogrammed with polycistronic plasmid carrying defined factor OCT3/4,SOX2,KLF4 and c-MYC,and further treated with neural induce medium,the hADSCs switched to differentiate toward neural cell lineages. The generated cells had normal karyotypes and exogenous vector sequences were not inserted in the genomes. Therefore,this cell lineage conversion methodology bypasses the risk of mutation and gene instability,and provides a novel strategy to obtain patient-specific neural cells for basic research and therapeutic application.

Inflammatory Responses and Barrier Function of Endothelial Cells Derived from Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells.
Several studies have reported endothelial cell (EC) derivation from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs). However,few have explored their functional properties in depth with respect to line-to-line and batch-to-batch variability and how they relate to primary ECs. We therefore carried out accurate characterization of hiPSC-derived ECs (hiPSC-ECs) from multiple (non-integrating) hiPSC lines and compared them with primary ECs in various functional assays,which included barrier function using real-time impedance spectroscopy with an integrated assay of electric wound healing,endothelia-leukocyte interaction under physiological flow to mimic inflammation and angiogenic responses in in vitro and in vivo assays. Overall,we found many similarities but also some important differences between hiPSC-derived and primary ECs. Assessment of vasculogenic responses in vivo showed little difference between primary ECs and hiPSC-ECs with regard to functional blood vessel formation,which may be important in future regenerative medicine applications requiring vascularization.

Tissue-resident memory CD8+ T cells amplify anti-tumor immunity by triggering antigen spreading through dendritic cells.
Tissue-resident memory CD8+ T (Trm) cells mediate potent local innate and adaptive immune responses and play a central role against solid tumors. However,whether Trm cells cross-talk with dendritic cells (DCs) to support anti-tumor immunity remains unclear. Here we show that antigen-specific activation of skin Trm cells leads to maturation and migration to draining lymph nodes of cross-presenting dermal DCs. Tumor rejection mediated by Trm cells triggers the spread of cytotoxic CD8+ T cell responses against tumor-derived neo- and self-antigens via dermal DCs. These responses suppress the growth of intradermal tumors and disseminated melanoma lacking the Trm cell-targeted epitope. Moreover,analysis of RNA sequencing data from human melanoma tumors reveals that enrichment of a Trm cell gene signature associates with DC activation and improved survival. This work unveils the ability of Trm cells to amplify the breath of cytotoxic CD8+ T cell responses through DCs,thereby strengthening anti-tumor immunity.

Emulsion adjuvant-induced uric acid release modulates optimal immunogenicity by targeting dendritic cells and B cells
Squalene-based emulsion (SE) adjuvants like MF59 and AS03 are used in protein subunit vaccines against influenza virus (e.g.,Fluad,Pandemrix,Arepanrix) and SARS-CoV-2 (e.g.,Covifenz,SKYCovione). We demonstrate the critical role of uric acid (UA),a damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP),in triggering immunogenicity by SE adjuvants. In mice,SE adjuvants elevated DAMP levels in draining lymph nodes. Strikingly,inhibition of UA synthesis reduced vaccine-induced innate immunity,subsequently impairing optimal antibody and T cell responses. In vivo treatment with UA crystals elicited partial adjuvant effects. In vitro stimulation with UA crystals augmented the activation of dendritic cells (DCs) and B cells and altered multiple pathways in these cells,including inflammation and antigen presentation in DCs and cell proliferation in B cells. In an influenza vaccine model,UA contributed to protection against influenza viral infection. These results demonstrate the importance of DAMPs,specifically the versatile role of UA in the immunogenicity of SE adjuvants,by regulating DCs and B cells.

Human mesenchymal stem cells modulate B-cell functions.
Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) suppress T-cell and dendritic-cell function and represent a promising strategy for cell therapy of autoimmune diseases. Nevertheless,no information is currently available on the effects of hMSCs on B cells,which may have a large impact on the clinical use of these cells. hMSCs isolated from the bone marrow and B cells purified from the peripheral blood of healthy donors were cocultured with different B-cell tropic stimuli. B-cell proliferation was inhibited by hMSCs through an arrest in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle and not through the induction of apoptosis. A major mechanism of B-cell suppression was hMSC production of soluble factors,as indicated by transwell experiments. hMSCs inhibited B-cell differentiation because IgM,IgG,and IgA production was significantly impaired. CXCR4,CXCR5,and CCR7 B-cell expression,as well as chemotaxis to CXCL12,the CXCR4 ligand,and CXCL13,the CXCR5 ligand,were significantly down-regulated by hMSCs,suggesting that these cells affect chemotactic properties of B cells. B-cell costimulatory molecule expression and cytokine production were unaffected by hMSCs. These results further support the potential therapeutic use of hMSCs in immune-mediated disorders,including those in which B cells play a major role.
