Cutting Edge: Nonobese Diabetic Mice Deficient in Chromogranin A Are Protected from Autoimmune Diabetes.
T cells reactive to β cell Ags are critical players in the development of autoimmune type 1 diabetes. Using a panel of diabetogenic CD4 T cell clones derived from the NOD mouse,we recently identified the β cell secretory granule protein,chromogranin A (ChgA),as a new autoantigen in type 1 diabetes. CD4 T cells reactive to ChgA are pathogenic and rapidly transfer diabetes into young NOD recipients. We report in this article that NOD.ChgA(-/-) mice do not develop diabetes and show little evidence of autoimmunity in the pancreatic islets. Using tetramer analysis,we demonstrate that ChgA-reactive T cells are present in these mice but remain naive. In contrast,in NOD.ChgA(+/+) mice,a majority of the ChgA-reactive T cells are Ag experienced. Our results suggest that the presence of ChgA and subsequent activation of ChgA-reactive T cells are essential for the initiation and development of autoimmune diabetes in NOD mice.

Efficient delivery of nuclease proteins for genome editing in human stem cells and primary cells.
Targeted nucleases,including zinc-finger nucleases (ZFNs),transcription activator-like (TAL) effector nucleases (TALENs) and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9),have provided researchers with the ability to manipulate nearly any genomic sequence in human cells and model organisms. However,realizing the full potential of these genome-modifying technologies requires their safe and efficient delivery into relevant cell types. Unlike methods that rely on expression from nucleic acids,the direct delivery of nuclease proteins to cells provides rapid action and fast turnover,leading to fewer off-target effects while maintaining high rates of targeted modification. These features make nuclease protein delivery particularly well suited for precision genome engineering. Here we describe procedures for implementing protein-based genome editing in human embryonic stem cells and primary cells. Protocols for the expression,purification and delivery of ZFN proteins,which are intrinsically cell-permeable; TALEN proteins,which can be internalized via conjugation with cell-penetrating peptide moieties; and Cas9 ribonucleoprotein,whose nucleofection into cells facilitates rapid induction of multiplexed modifications,are described,along with procedures for evaluating nuclease protein activity. Once they are constructed,nuclease proteins can be expressed and purified within 6 d,and they can be used to induce genomic modifications in human cells within 2 d.

Induction of CTL and nonpolarized Th cell responses by CD8alpha(+) and CD8alpha(-) dendritic cells.
Two distinct dendritic cell (DC) subpopulations have been evidenced in mice on the basis of their differential CD8alpha expression and their localization in lymphoid organs. Several reports suggest that CD8alpha(+) and CD8alpha(-) DC subsets could be functionally different. In this study,using a panel of MHC class I- and/or class II-restricted peptides,we analyzed CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell responses obtained after i.v. injection of freshly purified peptide-pulsed DC subsets. First,we showed that both DC subsets efficiently induce specific CTL responses and Th1 cytokine production in the absence of CD4(+) T cell priming. Second,we showed that in vivo activation of CD4(+) T cells by CD8alpha(+) or CD8alpha(-) DC,injected i.v.,leads to a nonpolarized Th response with production of both Th1 and Th2 cytokines. The CD8alpha(-) subset induced a higher production of Th2 cytokines such as IL-4 and IL-10 than the CD8alpha(+) subset. However,IL-5 was produced by CD4(+) T cells activated by both DC subsets. When both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells were primed by DC injected i.v.,a similar pattern of cytokines was observed,but,under these conditions,Th1 cytokines were mainly produced by CD8(+) T cells,while Th2 cytokines were produced by CD4(+) T cells. Thus,this study clearly shows that CD4(+) T cell responses do not influence the development of specific CD8(+) T cell cytotoxic responses induced either by CD8alpha(+) or CD8alpha(-) DC subsets.

A Transendocytosis Model of CTLA-4 Function Predicts Its Suppressive Behavior on Regulatory T Cells
Manipulation of the CD28/CTLA-4 pathway is at the heart of a number of immunomodulatory approaches used in both autoimmunity and cancer. Although it is clear that CTLA-4 is a critical regulator of T cell responses,the immunological contexts in which CTLA-4 controls immune responses are not well defined. In this study,we show that whereas CD80/CD86-dependent activation of resting human T cells caused extensive T cell proliferation and robust CTLA-4 expression,in this context CTLA-4 blocking Abs had no impact on the response. In contrast,in settings where CTLA-4(+) cells were present as regulators�

HIV disease progression despite suppression of viral replication is associated with exhaustion of lymphopoiesis.
The mechanisms of CD4(+) T-cell count decline,the hallmark of HIV disease progression,and its relationship to elevated levels of immune activation are not fully understood. Massive depletion of CD4(+) T cells occurs during the course of HIV-1 infection,so that maintenance of adequate CD4(+) T-cell levels probably depends primarily on the capacity to renew depleted lymphocytes,that is,the lymphopoiesis. We performed here a comprehensive study of quantitative and qualitative attributes of CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitor cells directly from the blood of a large set of HIV-infected persons compared with uninfected donors,in particular the elderly. Our analyses underline a marked impairment of primary immune resources with the failure to maintain adequate lymphocyte counts. Systemic immune activation emerges as a major correlate of altered lymphopoiesis,which can be partially reversed with prolonged antiretroviral therapy. Importantly,HIV disease progression despite elite control of HIV replication or virologic success on antiretroviral treatment is associated with persistent damage to the lymphopoietic system or exhaustion of lymphopoiesis. These findings highlight the importance of primary hematopoietic resources in HIV pathogenesis and the response to antiretroviral treatments.

IL-25 attenuates rheumatoid arthritis through suppression of Th17 immune responses in an IL-13-dependent manner.
IL-25,a new member of the IL-17 cytokine family,is involved in type 2 immunity initiation and has been associated with the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However,its exact role remains unclear. Here,we aimed to analyse IL-25 expression in the serum and synovial fluid of RA patients and evaluated the correlations between serum IL-25 levels,clinical and laboratory values and inflammation cytokines. Additionally,we investigated whether IL-25 can suppress Th1/Th17 responses involved in RA pathogenesis. We further determined whether IL-25 can alleviate collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) development in mice and the underlying mechanisms using in vitro and in vivo experiments. Our results showed that IL-25 was upregulated in the serum and synovial fluid of RA patients. Increased serum IL-25 levels were associated with disease severity and inflammatory response in RA patients. Furthermore,IL-25 inhibited CD4(+) T-cell activation and differentiation into Th17 cells,without affecting Th1 cells in human RA and CIA models. Administration of IL-25 could attenuate CIA development by Th17 suppression in an IL-13-dependent manner. Our findings indicate that IL-25 plays a potent immunosuppressive role in the pathogenesis of RA and CIA by downregulating Th17 cell response,and thus,may be a potential therapeutic agent for RA.

Three-dimensional localization of T-cell receptors in relation to microvilli using a combination of superresolution microscopies.
Leukocyte microvilli are flexible projections enriched with adhesion molecules. The role of these cellular projections in the ability of T cells to probe antigen-presenting cells has been elusive. In this study,we probe the spatial relation of microvilli and T-cell receptors (TCRs),the major molecules responsible for antigen recognition on the T-cell membrane. To this end,an effective and robust methodology for mapping membrane protein distribution in relation to the 3D surface structure of cells is introduced,based on two complementary superresolution microscopies. Strikingly,TCRs are found to be highly localized on microvilli,in both peripheral blood human T cells and differentiated effector T cells,and are barely found on the cell body. This is a decisive demonstration that different types of T cells universally localize their TCRs to microvilli,immediately pointing to these surface projections as effective sensors for antigenic moieties. This finding also suggests how previously reported membrane clusters might form,with microvilli serving as anchors for specific T-cell surface molecules.

HIV-1 Vpu Mediates HLA-C Downregulation.
Many pathogens evade cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) by downregulating HLA molecules on infected cells,but the loss of HLA can trigger NK cell-mediated lysis. HIV-1 is thought to subvert CTLs while preserving NK cell inhibition by Nef-mediated downregulation of HLA-A and -B but not HLA-C molecules. We find that HLA-C is downregulated by most primary HIV-1 clones,including transmitted founder viruses,in contrast to the laboratory-adapted NL4-3 virus. HLA-C reduction is mediated by viral Vpu and reduces the ability of HLA-C restricted CTLs to suppress viral replication in CD4+ cells in vitro. HLA-A/B are unaffected by Vpu,and primary HIV-1 clones vary in their ability to downregulate HLA-C,possibly in response to whether CTLs or NK cells dominate immune pressure through HLA-C. HIV-2 also suppresses HLA-C expression through distinct mechanisms,underscoring the immune pressure HLA-C exerts on HIV. This viral immune evasion casts new light on the roles of CTLs and NK cells in immune responses against HIV.

The Intestine Harbors Functionally Distinct Homeostatic Tissue-Resident and Inflammatory Th17 Cells.
T helper 17 (Th17) cells are pathogenic in many inflammatory diseases,but also support the integrity of the intestinal barrier in a non-inflammatory manner. It is unclear what distinguishes inflammatory Th17 cells elicited by pathogens and tissue-resident homeostatic Th17 cells elicited by commensals. Here,we compared the characteristics of Th17 cells differentiating in response to commensal bacteria (SFB) to those differentiating in response to a pathogen (Citrobacter rodentium). Homeostatic Th17 cells exhibited little plasticity towards expression of inflammatory cytokines,were characterized by a metabolism typical of quiescent or memory T cells,and did not participate in inflammatory processes. In contrast,infection-induced Th17 cells showed extensive plasticity towards pro-inflammatory cytokines,disseminated widely into the periphery,and engaged aerobic glycolysis in addition to oxidative phosphorylation typical for inflammatory effector cells. These findings will help ensure that future therapies directed against inflammatory Th17 cells do not inadvertently damage the resident gut population.

Nanoparticles Containing an Insulin-ChgA Hybrid Peptide Protect from Transfer of Autoimmune Diabetes by Shifting the Balance between Effector T Cells and Regulatory T Cells.
CD4 T cells play a critical role in promoting the development of autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes. The diabetogenic CD4 T cell clone BDC-2.5,originally isolated from a NOD mouse,has been widely used to study the contribution of autoreactive CD4 T cells and relevant Ags to autoimmune diabetes. Recent work from our laboratory has shown that the Ag for BDC-2.5 T cells is a hybrid insulin peptide (2.5HIP) consisting of an insulin C-peptide fragment fused to a peptide from chromogranin A (ChgA) and that endogenous 2.5HIP-reactive T cells are major contributors to autoimmune pathology in NOD mice. The objective of this study was to determine if poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLG) nanoparticles (NPs) loaded with the 2.5HIP Ag (2.5HIP-coupled PLG NPs) can tolerize BDC-2.5 T cells. Infusion of 2.5HIP-coupled PLG NPs was found to prevent diabetes in an adoptive transfer model by impairing the ability of BDC-2.5 T cells to produce proinflammatory cytokines through induction of anergy,leading to an increase in the ratio of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells to IFN-gamma+ effector T cells. To our knowledge,this work is the first to use a hybrid insulin peptide,or any neoepitope,to re-educate diabetogenic T cells and may have significant implications for the development of an Ag-specific therapy for type 1 diabetes patients.

Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri Infection Decreases Smad7 Expression in Intestinal CD4+ T Cells, Which Allows TGF-beta to Induce IL-10-Producing Regulatory T Cells That Block Colitis.
Helminthic infections modulate host immunity and may protect their hosts from developing immunological diseases like inflammatory bowel disease. Induction of regulatory T cells (Tregs) may be an important part of this protective process. Heligmosomoides polygyrus bakeri infection also promotes the production of the regulatory cytokines TGF-beta and IL-10 in the gut. In the intestines,TGF-beta helps induce regulatory T cells. This study used Foxp3/IL-10 double reporter mice to investigate the effect of TGF-beta on the differentiation of colon and mesenteric lymph node-derived murine Foxp3- IL-10- CD4+ T cells into their regulatory phenotypes. Foxp3- IL-10- CD4+ T cells from H. polygyrus bakeri-infected mice,as opposed to T cells from uninfected animals,cultured in vitro with TGF-beta and anti-CD3/CD28 mAb differentiated into Foxp3+ and/or IL-10+ T cells. The IL-10-producing T cells nearly all displayed CD25. Smad7 is a natural inhibitor of TGF-beta signaling. In contrast to gut T cells from uninfected mice,Foxp3- IL10- CD4+ T cells from H. polygyrus bakeri-infected mice displayed reduced Smad7 expression and responded to TGF-beta with Smad2/3 phosphorylation. The TGF-beta-induced Tregs that express IL-10 blocked colitis when transferred into the Rag/CD25- CD4+ T cell transfer model of inflammatory bowel disease. TGF-beta had a greatly diminished capacity to induce Tregs in H. polygyrus bakeri-infected transgenic mice with constitutively high T cell-specific Smad7 expression. Thus,infection with H. polygyrus bakeri causes down-modulation in Smad7 expression in intestinal CD4+ T cells,which allows the TGF-beta produced in response to the infection to induce the Tregs that prevent colitis.

Hybrid nanocarriers incorporating mechanistically distinct drugs for lymphatic CD4+ T cell activation and HIV-1 latency reversal.
A proposed strategy to cure HIV uses latency-reversing agents (LRAs) to reactivate latent proviruses for purging HIV reservoirs. A variety of LRAs have been identified,but none has yet proven effective in reducing the reservoir size in vivo. Nanocarriers could address some major challenges by improving drug solubility and safety,providing sustained drug release,and simultaneously delivering multiple drugs to target tissues and cells. Here,we formulated hybrid nanocarriers that incorporate physicochemically diverse LRAs and target lymphatic CD4+ T cells. We identified one LRA combination that displayed synergistic latency reversal and low cytotoxicity in a cell model of HIV and in CD4+ T cells from virologically suppressed patients. Furthermore,our targeted nanocarriers selectively activated CD4+ T cells in nonhuman primate peripheral blood mononuclear cells as well as in murine lymph nodes,and substantially reduced local toxicity. This nanocarrier platform may enable new solutions for delivering anti-HIV agents for an HIV cure.
