Vitamin A-deficient populations have impaired T cell-dependent antibody responses. Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most proficient antigen-presenting cells to naïve T cells. In the mouse, CD11b+ myeloid DCs stimulate T helper (Th) 2 antibody immune responses, while CD8α+ lymphoid DCs stimulate Th1 cell-mediated immune responses. Therefore, we hypothesized that vitamin A-deficient animals would have decreased numbers of myeloid DCs and unaffected numbers of lymphoid DCs. We performed dietary depletion of vitamin A in C57BL/6 J male and female mice and used multicolor flow cytometry to quantify immune cell populations of the spleen, with particular focus on DC subpopulations. We show that vitamin A-depleted animals have increased polymorphonuclear neutrophils, lymphoid DCs, and memory CD8+ T cells and decreased CD4+ T lymphocytes. Therefore, vitamin A deficiency alters splenic DC subpopulations, which may contribute to skewed immune responses of vitamin A-deficient populations. 相似文献

Receptor for hyaluronan-mediated motility (RHAMM) is overexpressed in various tumors with high frequency, and was recently identified as an immunogenic antigen by serologic screening of cDNA expression libraries. In this study, we explored whether RHAMM is a potential target for dendritic cell (DC) immunotherapy. We constructed a plasmid for transduction of in vitro-transcribed mRNAs into DCs to efficiently transport the intracellular protein RHAMM into MHC class II compartments by adding a late endosomal/lysosomal sorting signal to the RHAMM gene. Immunization of mice with modified RHAMM mRNA-transfected DCs (DC/RHAMM) induced killing activity against RHAMM-positive tumor cells in splenocytes. To examine whether CD4+ and/or CD8+ T cells were required for this antitumor immunity, an anti-CD4 or anti-CD8 antibody was administered to mice after immunization with DC/RHAMM. Depletion of CD4+ T cells significantly diminished the induction of tumor cell-killing activity in splenocytes, whereas CD8+ T cell depletion had no effect. We then investigated the therapeutic effect of DC/RHAMM in a 3-day tumor model of EL4. DC/RHAMM was administered to mice on days 3, 7 and 10 after EL4 tumor inoculation. The treatment markedly inhibited tumor growth compared to control DCs. Moreover, antibody-mediated depletion of CD4+ T cells completely abrogated the therapeutic effect of DC/RHAMM, whereas depletion of CD8+ T cells had no effect. The results of this preclinical study indicate that DCs transfected with a modified RHAMM mRNA targeted to MHC class II compartments can induce CD4+ T cell-mediated antitumor activity in vivo. 相似文献

β-Glucans have been shown to enhance immune responses for centuries, which contributes to their anti-tumor property. However, their mechanisms of action are still elusive. Dectin-1, the C-type lectin receptor for β-glucan, is expressed abundantly on dendritic cells (DCs). Activation of DCs via Dectin-1 can lead to the maturation of DC, inducing both innate and adaptive immune responses against tumor development and microbial infection. In this study, we found that particulate yeast-derived β-glucans could induce the maturation of murine dendritic cell line D2SC/1 cells and increase the expression of mGITRL on D2SC/1 cells via Dectin-1/Syk pathway in a dose dependent manner. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the increased mGITRL on D2SC/1 cells could impair the suppressive activity of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) and enhance the proliferation of CD4+CD25− effector T cells (Teffs). These findings suggest that particulate β-glucan can be used as immunomodulator to stimulate potent T cell-mediated adaptive immunity while down-regulate immune suppressive activity, leading to a more efficient defense mechanism against tumor development or infectious diseases. 相似文献

In cysticercosis, a parasitic disease caused by cestodes, the details of early interactions between parasite antigens and innate cells from the host are not well understood. In this study, the role of cestode-conditioned dendritic cells (DCs) in priming Th1 versus Th2 responses to bystander antigen was examined by using CD11c+ DCs as antigen-presenting cells and naive CD4+ DO11.10 lymphocytes specific to ovalbumin (OVA) as responding cells. No conventional maturation was induced in DCs exposed to Taenia crassiceps excreted/secreted antigens (TcES). The ability of TcES to affect Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated maturation and the pro-inflammatory response was analyzed by co-pulsing DCs with TcES and TLR ligands. DCs exposed to TcES blocked TLR4, TLR9 and Toxoplasma soluble antigen-induced phenotypic maturation. TcES-exposed DCs also blocked secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines and alloreactive T cell proliferation, while preserving IL-10 production. DCs pulsed with TcES + OVA suppressed IFN-γ, whereas they induced greater IL-4 production by CD4+ DO11.10 cells. TcES with chemically-altered glycans failed to modulate TLR-mediated activation of DCs and their Th1-inhibitng ability, which was STAT6-independent. Our results reflect the capacity of TcES glyco-antigens to modulate Th1-type and inflammatory responses mediated through DC activation. 相似文献

Dendritic cell (DC)–targeting vaccines show great promise in increasing antitumor immunity. Glycan-engineered vaccines facilitate both DC targeting and increased uptake by DCs for processing and presentation to CD4+ and CD8+ T cells to induce tumor-specific T-cell responses. However, the complexity of various DC subsets in skin tissues, expressing different glycan-binding receptors that can mediate vaccine uptake or drainage of vaccines via lymphatics directly to the lymph node–resident DCs, complicates the success of vaccines. Moreover, the influx of inflammatory immune cells to the site of vaccination, such as monocytes that differentiate to DCs and coexpress glycan-binding receptors, may contribute to the strength of DC-targeting glycovaccines for future clinical use. 相似文献

As women age, susceptibility to systemic and genital infections increases. Tissue‐resident memory T cells (TRMs) are CD103+CD8+ long‐lived lymphocytes that provide critical mucosal immune protection. Mucosal dendritic cells (DCs) are known to induce CD103 expression on CD8+ T cells. While CD103+CD8+ T cells are found throughout the female reproductive tract (FRT), the extent to which aging impacts their presence and induction by DCs remains unknown. Using hysterectomy tissues, we found that endometrial CD103+CD8+ T cells were increased in postmenopausal compared to premenopausal women. Endometrial DCs from postmenopausal women were significantly more effective at inducing CD103 expression on allogeneic naïve CD8+ T cells than DCs from premenopausal women; CD103 upregulation was mediated through membrane‐bound TGFβ signaling. In contrast, cervical CD103+ T cells and DC numbers declined in postmenopausal women with age. Decreases in DCs correlated with decreased CD103+ T cells in endocervix, but not ectocervix. Our findings demonstrate a previously unrecognized compartmentalization of TRMs in the FRT of postmenopausal women, with loss of TRMs and DCs in the cervix with aging, and increased TRMs and DC induction capacity in the endometrium. These findings are relevant to understanding immune protection in the FRT and to the design of vaccines for women of all ages. 相似文献

Dendritic cells reduce number and function of CD4+CD25+ cells in cytokine-induced killer cells derived from patients with pancreatic carcinoma 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Aim and background: CD4+CD25+ cells are described as professional regulatory/suppressor T cells that are crucial for the prevention of spontaneous autoimmune diseases. They play an important role in maintaining a balanced peripheral immune system. On the other hand, it has been suggested that regulatory T cells (Treg) suppress antitumor immune responses after tumor-specific vaccinations. Therefore, we determined the percentage of regulatory T cells in cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells, an effector cell population with high impact for adoptive immunotherapeutic strategies. Results: CIK cells showed strong induction of CD4+CD25+ cells with high secretion of interleukin 10 (IL-10) after unspecific stimulation of the TCR complex and stimulation with interleukin 2. Depletion of CD25+ cells led to an increase in cytotoxic activity and a reduction of IL-10 release. A more pronounced reversal of suppression could be induced by coculture of CIK cells with dendritic cells (DCs). After coculture of CIK cells with DCs, the number of CD4+CD25+ cells as well as the IL-10 concentration in the supernatant decreased, and the cytotoxic activity against pancreatic carcinoma cells increased. This was shown for cells from healthy donors as well as for cells from patients with pancreatic carcinoma. Conclusion: Our established effector cells possess some regulatory features induced by unspecific TCR-activation that could be prevented by coculture with DCs. CIK cells have desirable properties for immunotherapeutical approaches, especially after coculture with DCs, which could be used additionally for induction of a specific immune response. 相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) can be the principal initiators of antigen-specific immune responses. We analyzed the in vitro-responses
against brain tumor cells using DCs from the peripheral blood of patients with brain tumors. Peripheral blood mononuclear
cells (PBMC) were obtained from 19 patients with malignant brain tumors: 12 metastatic brain tumors of lung adenocarcinoma,
7 high-grade astrocytomas. PBMC were cultured with 100 ng/ml of GM-CSF and 10 ng/ml of IL-4 for 5–7 days in order to produce
mature DCs. The autologous tumor lysate (5 mg/ml, containing 1 × 106 cells) was then added to the cultured DCs. Using the DCs generated by these treatments, we assessed the changes that occurred
in their immune responses against brain tumor via 51Cr-release and lymphocyte proliferation assays. We found that the matured DCs displayed the typical surface phenotype of CD3+, CD45+, CD80+ and CD86+. After the pulsation treatment with tumor lysate, DCs were found to have strong cytotoxic T lymphocyte activity, showing
42.5 ± 12.7% killing of autologous tumor cells. We also found an enhancement of allogeneic T cell proliferation after pulsing
the DC with tumor lysate. These data support the efficacy of DC-based immunotherapy for patients with malignant brain tumors.

Understanding dendritic cell (DC) subset functions should lead to the development of novel types of vaccine. Here we characterized expression of XC chemokine receptor 1 (XCR1) and its ligand, XCL1. Murine XCR1 was the only chemokine receptor selectively expressed in CD8α+ conventional DCs. XCL1 was constitutively expressed in NK cells, which contribute to serum XCL1 levels. NK and CD8+ T cells increased XCL1 production upon activation. These expression patterns were conserved in human blood cells, including the BDCA3+ DC subset. Thus, in human and mice, certain DC subsets should be chemotactic towards NK or activated CD8+ T cells through XCR1. 相似文献

Astilbin, a major bioactive compound from Rhizoma smilacis glabrae, has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory properties. Our study first evaluated astilbin on dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced acute colitis in mice. By intraperitoneal injection of astilbin, the severity of colitis was attenuated, and the serum levels of IL-10 and TGF-β were increased. Using flow cytometry, a higher number of IL-10+ dendritic cells (DCs) and TGF-β+ DCs and a lower number of CD86+ DCs, IL-12 p40+ DCs, and IL-1β+ DCs were detected in the spleen of mice with colitis after astilbin treatment. The administration of astilbin also resulted in the upregulation of CD103+ expression in colonic DCs. In a coculture system, murine bone marrow-derived DCs pretreated with astilbin resulted in an enhanced production of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cells. The results of this study show that astilbin could be a candidate drug for inflammatory bowel disease by mediating the regulatory functions of DCs. 相似文献

Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is an effective immunomodulatory therapy and has been demonstrated to be beneficial for graft-vs-host disease and solid-organ allograft rejection. ECP involves reinfusion of a patient’s autologous peripheral blood leukocytes treated ex vivo with 8-methoxypsoralen and UVA light radiation (PUVA). Previous studies focused only on ECP treatment of recipient immune cells. Our study is the first to extend the target of ECP treatment to donor immune cells. The results of in vitro co-culture experiments demonstrate uptake of donor PUVA-treated splenic lymphocytes (PUVA-SPs) by recipient immature dendritic cells (DCs). Phagocytosis of donor PUVA-SPs does not stimulate phenotype maturation of recipient DCs. In the same co-culture system, donor PUVA-SPs enhanced production of interleukin-10 and interferon-γ by recipient DCs and impaired the subsequent capability of recipient DCs to stimulate recipient naïve T cells. Phagocytosis of donor PUVA-SP (PUVA-SP DCs) by recipient DCs shifted T-cell responses in favor of T helper 2 cells. Infusion of PUVA-SP DCs inhibited cardiac allograft rejection in an antigen-specific manner and induced CD4+CD25highFoxp3+ regulatory T cells. In conclusion, PUVA-SP DCs simultaneously deliver the donor antigen and the regulatory signal to the transplant recipient, and thus can be used to develop a novel DC vaccine for negative immune regulation and immune tolerance induction. 相似文献

Variations in co-signal ligand expression and cytokine production greatly influence the antigen-presenting properties of migrating DCs in regional lymph nodes (RLNs). Here we investigated DCs migrating from the oral mucosa using CD326 and CD103 antigens for discriminate CD207+ Langerhans cells (LCs) from CD207+ submucosal DCs (SMDCs). Similar to DCs migrating from the skin, we identified four distinct oral mucosal DC (OMDC) subsets, CD11chiCD207−CD103−CD326intCD11bhi (F1; resident CD11bhi SMDCs), CD11cint/loCD207-CD103-CD326loCD11bint/hi (F2; newly recruited blood-derived SMDCs), CD11cint/loCD207+CD103+CD326int/hiCD11blo (CD103+ F3; resident CD207+ SMDCs), and CD11cint/loCD207+CD103-CD326int/hiCD11blo (CD103- F3; resident LCs). F1 DCs migrated rapidly after fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) painting and expressed notably high levels of CD86, CD273, and CD274 at an earlier time point. In contrast, CD103− LCs expressing the highest levels of the epithelial cell adhesion molecule CD326 accounted for a minor subset at the earlier time point, but increased slowly with CD103+CD207+ SMDCs. However, their expression of CD86, CD273, and CD274 was very limited. The delayed migration and limited induction of co-signal ligands suggest that roles of OMLCs are distinct from those of the other three DC subsets. The identification of distinct subsets of OMDCs in RLNs may benefit efforts to determine the functional specialization of each subset in T cell responses against orally administrated antigens. 相似文献

Mucosal dendritic cells (DCs) play a key role in discriminating between dietary antigens, commensal microflora and pathogens but little is known regarding age-related changes in mucosal DC populations. We analyzed lymphoid and myeloid populations within the epithelium and lamina propria (LP) of the ileum and jejunum of weaned calves (6 months old) and compared their frequency and distribution with newborn calves (3–5 weeks old). CD4, CD8 and γδ TcR T cells and CD11cHiMHC Class II+ myeloid cell frequency were significantly different when comparing ileum and jejunum of weaned calves. In particular, the number of CD8 and γδ TcR T cells, and CD11cHiCD14+ macrophages was significantly greater in the ileum but CD11c+ and CD11b+ myeloid cell distribution was similar throughout the mucosal epithelium of the small intestine. Furthermore, significant age-related changes were apparent when comparing the frequency and abundance of mucosal leukocyte subpopulations in newborn and weaned calves. Total mucosal leukocytes (CD45+) increased significantly with age in both ileum and jejunum and much of this increase was attributed to mucosal T cells (CD3+). In particular, CD4 T cells and NK cells increased significantly in the jejunum and CD8, and γδ TcR T cells increased significantly with age throughout the small intestine. In contrast, CD11cHiMHC Class II+ myeloid cells remained numerically unchanged with age but DCs (CD13+, CD26+, CD205+) were enriched and macrophages (CD14+, CD172a+) were depleted in older animals. Therefore, regional differences between ileal and jejunal mucosal leukocytes changed with age and there was also a marked age-dependent change in the composition of mucosal myeloid cells. These observations have significant implications for host responses to both pathogens and commensal microflora. 相似文献

Two critical periods of maximum exposure to antigens occur in young mammals, immediately after birth and at weaning, as a result of colonization by commensal bacteria and the ingestion of new diets. At weaning, active immune responses of antibody production against dietary proteins are known to occur, but simultaneously, oral tolerance is acquired for harmless food proteins. However, regulated mechanisms of the immune system at weaning remain to be elucidated although its immune responses may be somewhat similar to those in adulthood. Considering that tolerogenic antigen-presenting cells (APCs) are likely to be a key factor in the acquisition of oral tolerance, in the present study, we examined the changes of dendritic cells (DCs) in the lamina propria (LP) on exposure to food proteins at weaning. C57BL/6 female mice were weaned at the age of 3 weeks and orally administered 10 mg of ovalbumin (OVA) for ten consecutive days after weaning. The administration led to a decrease in the plasma level of immunoglobulin specific for OVA, suggesting the acquisition of oral tolerance. The uptake of fluorescence-labeled OVA was significantly observed for CD11c+LPDCs. When we analyzed the changes of two types of LPDCs, PDCA-1+ MHC II+ DCs and CD103+ MHC II+ DCs, ten consecutive gavages of OVA marginally, but not significantly, augmented only the frequency of PDCA-1+ MHC II+ DCs. Considering that the change of APCs likely appears immediately on the response to antigen intake, we found the statistically significant increase in the frequency of PDCA-1+ DCs, but not in that of CD103+ DCs, even after two treatments, indicating PDCA-1+ DCs to be recruited in the LP within 2 days of exposure to food proteins. These results suggest that the behavior of tolerogenic PDCA-1+ DCs may change at weaning with the removal of the immunoprotective components of maternal milk. 相似文献

In this study, we showed that Mycobacterium abscessus MAB2560 induces the maturation of dendritic cells (DCs), which are representative antigen-presenting cells (APCs). M. abscessus MAB2560 stimulate the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines [interleukin (IL)-6, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, IL-1β, and IL-12p70] and reduce the endocytic capacity and maturation of DCs. Using TLR4-/- DCs, we found that MAB2560 mediated DC maturation via Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4). MAB2560 also activated the MAPK signaling pathway, which was essential for DC maturation. Furthermore, MAB2560-treated DCs induced the transformation of naïve T cells to polarized CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, which would be crucial for Th1 polarization of the immune response. Taken together, our results indicate that MAB2560 could potentially regulate the host immune response to M. abscessus and may have critical implications for the manipulation of DC functions for developing DC-based immunotherapy.

To develop a novel dendritic cell (DC)-based vaccine for inducing antigen-specific CD8+ T cell responses by cross-presentation, we tested a novel antigen delivery system that introduces soluble antigens into the cytosol of cells by an endocytosis-mediated mechanism which avoids damaging the plasma membrane (“Endo-Porter”™). Proteins released from endosomes into the cytoplasm are degraded by the proteasome, and fragmented antigenic peptides are presented to the classical cytosolic MHC class I pathway. DCs pulsed with OVA protein in the presence of Endo-Porter efficiently stimulate OVA peptide-specific CD8+ T (OT-I) cells. Although this agent diverts some of the endocytosed antigens away from the classical MHC class II-restricted presentation pathway to the class I pathway, the activation of CD4+ T cells was found not to be hampered by Endo-Porter-mediated antigen delivery. On the contrary, it was rather augmented, probably due to the increased uptake of antigen. Because specific CD4+ T cell help is required to license DCs for cross-priming, Endo-Porter-mediated antigen delivery is a promising approach for developing more efficient cancer vaccines targeting both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. 相似文献

We have shown recently that cyclophosphamide (CTX) treatment induced a marked increase in the numbers of immature dendritic cells (DCs) in blood, coinciding with enhanced antigen-specific responses of the adoptively transferred CD8+ T cells. Because this DC expansion was preceded by DC proliferation in bone marrow (BM), we tested whether BM post CTX treatment can generate higher numbers of functional DCs. BM was harvested three days after treatment of C57BL/6 mice with PBS or CTX and cultured with GM-CSF/IL-4 in vitro. Compared with control, BM from CTX-treated mice showed faster generation and yielded higher numbers of DCs with superior activation in response to toll-like receptor (TLR) agonists. Vaccination with peptide-pulsed DCs generated from BM from CTX-treated mice induced comparable adjuvant effects to those induced by control DCs. Taken together, post CTX BM harbors higher numbers of DC precursors capable of differentiating into functional DCs, which be targeted to create host microenvironment riches in activated DCs upon treatment with TLR agonists. 相似文献

Background
Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease characterized by a seemingly exaggerated immune response against a difficult to discern antigen. Dendritic cells (DCs) are pivotal antigen presenting cells thought to play an important role in the pathogenesis. Paradoxically, decreased DC immune reactivity was reported in blood samples from pulmonary sarcoidosis patients. However, functional data on lung DCs in sarcoidosis are lacking. We hypothesized that at the site of disease DCs are mature, immunocompetent and involved in granuloma formation.Methods
We analyzed myeloid DCs (mDCs) and plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) in broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL) and blood from newly diagnosed, untreated pulmonary sarcoidosis patients and healthy controls using 9-color flowcytometry. DCs, isolated from BAL using flowcytometric sorting (mDCs) or cultured from monocytes (mo-DCs), were functionally assessed in a mixed leukocyte reaction with naïve allogeneic CD4+ T cells. Using Immunohistochemistry, location and activation status of CD11c+DCs was assessed in mucosal airway biopsies.Results
mDCs in BAL, but not in blood, from sarcoidosis patients were increased in number when compared with mDCs from healthy controls. mDCs purified from BAL of sarcoidosis patients induced T cell proliferation and differentiation and did not show diminished immune reactivity. Mo-DCs from patients induced increased TNFα release in co-cultures with naïve allogeneic CD4+ T cells. Finally, immunohistochemical analyses revealed increased numbers of mature CD86+ DCs in granuloma-containing airway mucosal biopsies from sarcoidosis patients.Conclusion
Taken together, these finding implicate increased local DC activation in granuloma formation or maintenance in pulmonary sarcoidosis. 相似文献19.

Dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in the generation of anti-cancer immune responses, however there is evidence that DCs in cancer patients are dysfunctional. Lipid accumulation driven by tumor-derived factors has recently been shown to contribute to DC dysfunction in several human cancers, but has not yet been examined in mesothelioma. This study investigated if mesothelioma tumor cells and/or their secreted factors promote increases in DC lipid content and modulate DC function. Human monocyte-derived DCs (MoDCs) were exposed to human mesothelioma tumor cells and tumor-derived factors in the presence or absence of lipoproteins. The data showed that immature MoDCs exposed to mesothelioma cells or factors contained increased lipid levels relative to control DCs. Lipid accumulation was associated with reduced antigen processing ability (measured using a DQ OVA assay), upregulation of the co-stimulatory molecule, CD86, and production of the tolerogenic cytokine, IL-10. Increases in DC lipid content were further enhanced by co-exposure to mesothelioma-derived factors and triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, but not low-density lipoproteins. In vivo studies using a murine mesothelioma model showed that the lipid content of tumor-infiltrating CD4+CD8α- DCs, CD4-CD8α- DCs DCs and plasmacytoid DCs increased with tumor progression. Moreover, increasing tumor burden was associated with reduced proliferation of tumor-antigen-specific CD8+ T cells in tumor-draining lymph nodes. This study shows that mesothelioma promotes DC lipid acquisition, which is associated with altered activation status and reduced capacity to process and present antigens, which may impair the ability of DCs to generate effective anti mesothelioma T cell responses. 相似文献

Interleukin (IL)-32 has been associated with a variety of inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis and Crohn’s disease. We have previously reported that IL-32γ, the IL-32 isoform with the highest biological activity, could act as an immune modulator through regulation of dendritic cell (DC) functions in immune responses. Cell locomotion is crucial for induction of an effective immune response. In this study, we investigated the effect and underlying mechanisms of IL-32γ on recruitment of T cells. IL-32γ upregulated the expression of several chemokines including CCL2, CCL4, and CCL5 in the DCs. In particular, IL-32γ significantly increased CCL5 expression in a dose-dependent manner. Treatment with JNK and NF-κB inhibitors suppressed IL-32γ-induced CCL5 expression in DCs, indicating that IL-32γ induced CCL5 production through the JNK and NF-κB pathways. Furthermore, supernatants from IL-32γ-treated DCs showed chemotactic activities controlling migration of activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, and these activities were suppressed by addition of neutralizing anti-CCL5 antibody. These results show that IL-32γ effectively promotes migration of activated T cells via CCL5 production in DCs. The chemotactic potential of IL-32γ may explain the pro-inflammatory effects of IL-32 and the pathologic role of IL-32 in immune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. 相似文献
