Mouse dendritic cells (DCs) can rapidly extend their Class II MHC-positive late endosomal compartments into tubular structures, induced by Toll-like receptor (TLR) triggering. Within antigen-presenting DCs, tubular endosomes polarize toward antigen-specific CD4+ T cells, which are considered beneficial for their activation. Here we describe that also in human DCs, TLR triggering induces tubular late endosomes, labeled by fluorescent LDL. TLR triggering was insufficient for induced tubulation of transferrin-positive endosomal recycling compartments (ERCs) in human monocyte-derived DCs. We studied endosomal remodeling in human DCs in co-cultures of DCs with CD8+ T cells. Tubulation of ERCs within human DCs requires antigen-specific CD8+ T cell interaction. Tubular remodeling of endosomes occurs within 30 min of T cell contact and involves ligation of HLA-A2 and ICAM-1 by T cell-expressed T cell receptor and LFA-1, respectively. Disintegration of microtubules or inhibition of endosomal recycling abolished tubular ERCs, which coincided with reduced antigen-dependent CD8+ T cell activation. Based on these data, we propose that remodeling of transferrin-positive ERCs in human DCs involves both innate and T cell-derived signals. 相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells, and have thus been used in clinical cancer vaccines. However, the effects of DC vaccines are still limited, leading researchers to explore novel ways to make them effective. In this study, we investigated whether human monocyte-derived DCs generated via the addition of interleukin 15 (IL-15) had a higher capacity to induce antigen-specific T cells compared to conventional DCs. We isolated CD14+ monocytes from peripheral blood from multiple myeloma (MM) patients, and induced immature DCs with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL-4 in the presence or absence of IL-15 for 4–6 days. Then we generated mature DCs (mDCs) with lipopolysaccharide for another 2 days [IL-15 mDCs (6 days), IL-15 mDCs (8 days), and conventional mDCs (8 days)]. IL-15 mDCs (6 days) showed higher expression of MHC I and II, CD40, CD86, and CCR7, and the secretion of IFN-γ was significantly higher compared to conventional mDCs. IL-15 mDCs (6 days) showed superior polarization of naïve T cells toward Th1 cells and a higher proportion of activated T cells, cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells, and natural killer (NK) cells for inducing strong cytotoxicity against myeloma cells, and lower proportion of regulatory T cells compared to conventional mDCs. These data imply that novel multipotent mDCs generated by the addition of IL-15, which can be cultivated in 6 days, resulted in outstanding activation of T cells, CIK cells and NK cells, and may facilitate cellular immunotherapy for cancer patients. 相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) are the quintessential antigen-presenting cells of the human immune system and play a prime role in coordinating innate and adaptive immune responses, explaining the strong and still growing interest in their application for cancer immunotherapy. Much current research in the field of DC-based immunotherapy focuses on optimizing the culture conditions for in vitro DC generation in order to assure that DCs with the best possible immunogenic qualities are being used for immunotherapy. In this context, monocyte-derived DCs that are alternatively induced by interleukin-15 (IL-15 DCs) have attracted recent attention due to their superior immunostimulatory characteristics. In this study, we show that IL-15 DCs, in addition to potent tumor antigen-presenting function, possess tumoricidal potential and thus qualify for the designation of killer DCs. Notwithstanding marked expression of the natural killer (NK) cell marker CD56 on a subset of IL-15 DCs, we found no evidence of a further phenotypic overlap between IL-15 DCs and NK cells. Allostimulation and antigen presentation assays confirmed that IL-15 DCs should be regarded as bona fide myeloid DCs not only from the phenotypic but also from the functional point of view. Concerning their cytotoxic activity, we demonstrate that IL-15 DCs are able to induce apoptotic cell death of the human K562 tumor cell line, while sparing tumor antigen-specific T cells. The cytotoxicity of IL-15 DCs is predominantly mediated by granzyme B and, to a small extent, by tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) but is independent of perforin, Fas ligand and TNF-α. In conclusion, our data provide evidence of a previously unappreciated role for IL-15 in the differentiation of human monocytes towards killer DCs. The observation that IL-15 DCs have killer DC capacity lends further support to their implementation in DC-based immunotherapy protocols. 相似文献

Mature T cells activated by antigen (Ag)-presenting cells are subject to various downmodulatory processes designed to maintain T cell homeostasis. Here we describe experiments in which mature T cells were subjected to apoptosis following stimulation with CD4(+) dendritic cells (DCs) during Ag presentation. The proliferative response of allogeneic T cells was increased by DCs at stimulator to responder (S/R) ratios ranging from 10(-3) to 1, whereas this response was decreased at S/R ratios ranging from 2 to 10. Allogeneic T cells stimulated with DCs at an S/R ratio of 5 underwent apoptosis, whereas this event was not observed in allogeneic T cells stimulated with DCs at an S/R ratio of 0.5. Stimulation of T cells with DCs at an S/R ratio of 5 induced a higher level of expression of CD95 ligand (CD95L) than stimulation of T cells cultured with DCs at an S/R ratio of 0.5, whereas similar levels of expression of CD28 and CD154 were observed in both cells. The abortive proliferation of mature T cells stimulated with DCs was prevented by blocking the CD95-CD95L system. Our results suggest that the CD4(+) DCs play counterregulatory roles in dictating T cell responses during Ag presentation. 相似文献

We previously isolated the novel heteropolysaccharide maitake Z-fraction (MZF) from the maitake mushroom (Grifola frondosa), and demonstrated that MZF significantly inhibited tumor growth by inducing cell-mediated immunity. In this study, we demonstrated that MZF upregulated the expression of CD80, CD86, CD83, and MHC II on bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) and significantly increased interleukin-12 (IL-12) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha production by DCs in a dose-dependent manner. MZF-treated DCs significantly stimulated both allogeneic and antigen-specific syngenic T cell responses and enhanced antigen-specific interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) production by syngenic CD4+ T cells; however, MZF-treated DCs did not affect IL-4 production. Furthermore, the enhancement of IFN-γ production in CD4+ T cells, which was induced by MZF-treated DCs, was completely inhibited by the addition of an anti-IL-12 antibody. These results indicate that MZF induced DC maturation and antigen-specific Th1 response by enhancing DC-produced IL-12. We also demonstrated that DCs pulsed with colon-26 tumor lysate in the presence of MZF induced both therapeutic and preventive effects on colon-26 tumor development in BALB/c mice. These results suggest that MZF could be a potential effective adjuvant to enhance immunotherapy using DC-based vaccination. 相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells involved in the control and initiation of immune responses. In vivo, DCs exposed at the periphery to maturation stimuli migrate to lymph nodes, where they receive secondary signals from CD4+ T helper cells. These DCs become able to initiate CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses. However, in vitro investigations concerning human monocyte-derived DCs have never focused on their functional properties after such sequential maturation. Here, we studied human DC phenotypes and functions according to this sequential exposure to maturation stimuli. As first signals, we used TNF-α/polyI:C mimicking inflammatory and pathogen stimuli and, as second signals, we compared activated CD4+ T helper cells to a combination of CD40-L/ IFN-γ. Our results show that a sequential activation with activated CD4+ T cells dramatically increased the maturation of DCs in terms of their phenotype and cytokine secretion compared to DCs activated with maturation stimuli delivered simultaneously. Furthermore, this sequential maturation led to the induction of CTL with a long-term effector and central memory phenotypes. Thus, sequential delivery of maturation stimuli, which includes CD4+ T cells, should be considered in the future to improve the induction of long-term CTL memory in DC-based immunotherapy. 相似文献

This review summarizes our studies of the past several years on the development of third generation dendritic cell (DC) vaccines. These developments have implemented two major innovations in DC preparation: first, young DCs are prepared within 3 days and, second, the DCs are matured with the help of Toll-like receptor agonists, imbuing them with the capacity to produce bioactive IL-12 (p70). Based on phenotype, chemokine-directed migration, facility to process and present antigens, and stimulatory capacity to polarize Th1 responses in CD4+ T cells, induce antigen-specific CD8+ CTL and activate natural killer cells, these young mDCs display all the important properties needed for initiating good antitumor responses in a vaccine setting. 相似文献

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component of gram-negative bacterial cell walls, has been shown to have a strong adjuvant effect towards inhaled antigens contributing to airway inflammation. Isoflavones are anti-inflammatory molecules present in abundant quantities in soybeans. We investigated the effect of isoflavones on human dendritic cell (DC) activation via LPS stimulation and subsequent DC-mediated effector cell function both in vitro and in a mouse model of upper airway inflammation. Human monocyte-derived DCs (MDDC) were matured with LPS (or TNF-α) +/− isoflavones (genistein or daidzein). The surface expression levels of DC activation markers were analyzed by flow cytometry. Mature DCs +/− isoflavones were washed and cultured with freshly-isolated allogenic naïve CD4+ T cells for 5 days or with autologous natural killer (NK) cells for 2 hours. The percentages of proliferating IFN-γ+ CD4+ T cells and cytokine levels in culture supernatants were assessed. NK cell degranulation and DC cytotoxicity were measured by flow cytometry. Isoflavones significantly suppressed the activation-induced expression of DC maturation markers (CD83, CD80, CD86) and MHC class I but not MHC class II molecules in vitro. Isoflavone treatment inhibited the ability of LPS-DCs to induce IFN-γ in CD4+ T cells. NK cell degranulation and the percentage of dead DCs were significantly increased in isoflavone-treated DC-NK co-culture experiments. Dietary isoflavones suppressed the mucosal immune response to intra-nasal sensitization of mice to ovalbumin. Similar results were obtained when isoflavones were co-administered during sensitization. These results demonstrate that soybean isoflavones suppress immune sensitization by suppressing DC-maturation and its subsequent DC-mediated effector cell functions. 相似文献

Whole recombinant yeast vaccine activates dendritic cells and elicits protective cell-mediated immunity 总被引:16,自引:0,他引:16

There is currently a need for vaccines that stimulate cell-mediated immunity-particularly that mediated by CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs)-against viral and tumor antigens. The optimal induction of cell-mediated immunity requires the presentation of antigens by specialized cells of the immune system called dendritic cells (DCs). DCs are unique in their ability to process exogenous antigens via the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I pathway as well as in their ability to activate naive, antigen-specific CD8+ and CD4+ T cells. Vaccine strategies that target or activate DCs in order to elicit potent CTL-mediated immunity are the subject of intense research. We report here that whole recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast expressing tumor or HIV-1 antigens potently induced antigen-specific, CTL responses, including those mediating tumor protection, in vaccinated animals. Interactions between yeast and DCs led to DC maturation, IL-12 production and the efficient priming of MHC class I- and class II-restricted, antigen-specific T-cell responses. Yeast exerted a strong adjuvant effect, augmenting DC presentation of exogenous whole-protein antigen to MHC class I- and class II-restricted T cells. Recombinant yeast represent a novel vaccine strategy for the induction of broad-based cellular immune responses. 相似文献

IL-2 is required for the activation of memory CD8+ T cells via antigen cross-presentation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Dendritic cells (DCs) are capable of capturing exogenous Ag for the generation of MHC class I/peptide complexes. For efficient activation of memory CD8(+) T cells to occur via a cross-presentation pathway, DCs must receive helper signals from CD4(+) T cells. Using an in vitro system that reflects physiologic recall memory responses, we have evaluated signals that influence helper-dependent cross-priming, while focusing on the source and cellular target of such effector molecules. Concerning the interaction between CD4(+) T cells and DCs, we tested the hypothesis that CD40 engagement on DCs is critical for IL-12p70 (IL-12) production and subsequent stimulation of IFN-gamma release by CD8(+) T cells. Although CD40 engagement on DCs, or addition of exogenous IL-12 are both sufficient to overcome the lack of help, neither is essential. We next evaluated cytokines and chemokines produced during CD4(+) T cell/DC cross talk and observed high levels of IL-2 produced within the first 18-24 h of Ag-specific T cell engagement. Functional studies using blocking Abs to CD25 completely abrogated IFN-gamma production by the CD8(+) T cells. Although required, addition of exogenous IL-2 did not itself confer signals sufficient to overcome the lack of CD4(+) T cell help. Thus, these data support a combined role for Ag-specific, cognate interactions at the CD4(+) T cell/DC as well as the DC/CD8(+) T cell interface, with the helper effect mediated by soluble noncognate signals. 相似文献

Tumor immunosurveillance is mediated by innate and adaptive components of cellular immunity. A complex network of cellular interactions is needed to elicit protective antitumoral CD4+and CD8+T cell responses. Thereby dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role as professional antigen presenting cells (APCs) that take up antigens, process, and present them to prime na?ve T cells. Recognition and lysis of tumor cells has been attributed to innate effectors such as natural killer (NK), NKT and gammadeltaT cells. Recently, novel subsets of cytotoxic DCs, called "killer DCs" (KDCs), have been reported in rodents and humans. Killer dendritic cells could directly link innate and adaptive immunity. This review aims at comparing the different KDC populations, their phenotypes, killer function, and their potential application for anticancer immunotherapy. 相似文献

To activate T cells effectively, dendritic cells (DCs) must provide three separate signals, MHC-Ag, costimulatory molecules (such as CD80 and CD86), and proinflammatory cytokines (such as IL-12). These three signals are up-regulated in the presence of "danger signals" such as LPS or viral nucleic acids. Evidence suggests that DCs providing only the first two of these signals cannot successfully stimulate T cells. Apoptotic cells have been proposed to suppress DC immunogenicity through the ligation of apoptotic cell receptors. Complement receptor 3 (CR3) and CD36 have been suggested to be important in this process, although the mechanism by which this modulation occurs is still unclear. We demonstrate that ligation of CR3, but not CD36, directs DCs to increase surface MHC and costimulatory molecules, while suppressing inflammatory cytokine release. CR3 modulation of DCs does not require a type I IFN response, does not involve the specific regulation of the MyD88- or Toll/IL-1R domain-containing adaptor-inducing IFN-beta-dependent TLR signaling pathways, and occurs even in the absence of danger signals. The functional outcome of this process is poor Ag-specific stimulation of CD4 and CD8 T cells by CR3-ligated DCs both in naive response as well as upon subsequent challenge with normal DCs. We propose that CR3 provides a "nondanger" signal that suppresses the stimulatory capacity of DCs. 相似文献

Induction of rapid T cell activation, division, and recirculation by intratracheal injection of dendritic cells in a TCR transgenic model 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19

Dendritic cells (DCs) are thought to be responsible for sensitization to inhaled Ag and induction of adaptive immunity in the lung. The characteristics of T cell activation in the lung were studied after transfer of Ag-pulsed bone marrow-derived DCs into the airways of naive mice. Cell division of Ag-specific T cells in vivo was followed in a carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester-labeled cohort of naive moth cytochrome c-reactive TCR transgenic T cells. Our adoptive transfer system was such that transferred DCs were the only cells expressing the MHC molecule required for presentation of cytochrome c to transgenic T cells. Ag-specific T cell activation and proliferation occurred rapidly in the draining lymph nodes of the lung, but not in nondraining lymph nodes or spleen. No bystander activation of non-Ag-specific T cells was induced. Division of Ag-specific T cells was accompanied by transient expression of CD69, while up-regulation of CD44 increased with each cell division. Divided cells had recirculated to nondraining lymph nodes and spleen by day 4 of the response. In vitro restimulation with specific Ag revealed that T cells were primed to proliferate more strongly and to produce higher amounts of cytokines per cell. These data are consistent with the notion that DCs in the lung are extremely efficient in selecting Ag-reactive T cells from a diverse repertoire. The response is initially localized in the mediastinal lymph nodes, but subsequently spreads systemically. This system should allow us to study the early events leading to sensitization to inhaled Ag. 相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) encompass a heterogeneous population of cells capable of orchestrating innate and adaptive immune responses. The ability of DCs to act as professional APCs has been the foundation for the development and use of these cells as vaccines in cancer immunotherapy. DCs are also endowed with the nonconventional property of directly killing tumor cells. The current study investigates the regulation of murine DC cytotoxic function by T lymphocytes. We provide evidence that CD4(+) Th-1, but not Th-2, Th-17 cells, or regulatory T cells, are capable of inducing DC cytotoxic function. IFN-γ was identified as the major factor responsible for Th-1-induced DC tumoricidal activity. Tumor cell killing mediated by Th-1-activated killer DCs was dependent on inducible NO synthase expression and NO production. Importantly, Th-1-activated killer DCs were capable of presenting the acquired Ags from the killed tumor cells to T lymphocytes in vitro or in vivo. These observations offer new possibilities for the application of killer DCs in cancer immunotherapy. 相似文献

Immature dendritic cells (DCs) appear to be involved in peripheral immune tolerance via induction of IL-10-producing CD4+ T cells. We examined the role of TNF-α in generation of the IL-10-producing CD4+ T cells by immature DCs. Immature bone marrow-derived DCs from wild type (WT) or TNF-α−/− mice were cocultured with CD4+ T cells from OVA specific TCR transgenic mice (OT-II) in the presence of OVA323-339 peptide. The WT DCs efficiently induced the antigen-specific IL-10-producing CD4+ T cells, while the ability of the TNF-α−/− DCs to induce these CD4+ T cells was considerably depressed. Addition of exogenous TNF-α recovered the impaired ability of the TNF-α−/− DCs to induce IL-10-producing T cells. However, no difference in this ability was observed between TNF-α−/− and WT DCs after their maturation by LPS. Thus, TNF-α appears to be critical for the generation of IL-10-producing CD4+ T cells during the antigen presentation by immature DCs. 相似文献

Background
Dendritic cells (DCs) determine the activation and polarization of T cells via expression of costimulatory molecules and secretion of cytokines. The function of DCs derived from monocytes ex vivo strongly depends on the composition of the maturation cocktail used.Methodology/Principal Findings
We analyzed the effect of costimulatory molecule expression and cytokine secretion by DCs on T and natural killer (NK) cell activation by conducting a head-to-head comparison of a Toll-like receptor (TLR) agonist-based cocktail with the standard combination of proinflammatory cytokines or IL-10 alone. We could show that TLR-induced DCs are characterized by a predominance of costimulatory over coinhibitory molecules and by high secretion of IL-12p70, but not IL-10. Functionally, these signals translated into an increase in IFN-γ secreting Th1 cells and a decrease in regulatory T cells. T cell activation and polarization were dependent on IL-12p70 and CD86, but remarkably not on CD80 signaling. By means of IL-12p70 secretion, only TLR-induced DCs activated NK cells.Conclusions/Significance
TLR-matured DCs are highly suitable for application in immunotherapeutic strategies that rely on strong type 1 polarization and NK cell activation. Their effects particularly depend on high CD86 expression and IL-12p70 secretion. 相似文献19.
BACKGROUND: Dendritic cells (DCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells in initiating primary immune responses. Given the unique properties of DCs, gene-modified DCs represent a particularly attractive approach for immunotherapy of diseases such as cancer. METHODS: Gene-modified DCs were obtained by a receptor-mediated gene delivery system using adenovirus (Ad) particles as ligand and RNA or DNA condensed by polyethylenimine (PEI). In vitro transcribed polyadenylated or non-polyadenylated RNA was used. RNA-transduced DCs were generated expressing chicken ovalbumin (OVA) or chimeric constructs thereof, and compared with DNA-transduced DCs. RESULTS: Ad/PEI transfection complexes efficiently delivered RNA into DCs. Such RNA-transduced DCs induced OVA-specific T cell responses more effectively than DNA-transduced DCs. Furthermore, DCs transduced with polyadenylated RNA were more potent in stimulating CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell responses than DCs transduced with non-polyadenylated RNA and this was particularly important for CD4(+) T cell responses. CONCLUSIONS: Ad/PEI/RNA transfection is an efficient means for generating RNA-transduced DCs and for stimulating antigen-specific T cell responses. Polyadenylation of RNA enhances CD8(+) T cell responses and is essential for CD4(+) T cell responses. 相似文献

Inhibition of allogeneic T-cell responses by dendritic cells expressing transduced indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

BACKGROUND: Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is an enzyme involved in the catabolism of tryptophan and has been shown to prevent rejection of the fetus during pregnancy by inhibiting alloreactive T cells. METHODS: In this study we investigated dendritic cells (DCs) that are transfected with IDO cDNA in the inhibition of T-cell proliferation after antigen-specific interaction. XS106 DCs, derived from A/J mice (H-2k), were transduced with IDO with a gene-delivery system using a recombinant adenoviral vector. RESULTS: Western blotting and immune staining revealed IDO expression in XS106 DCs transduced with IDO (XS106-IDO DCs), and its catabolic effect was confirmed by an increase in kynurenine concentration. Fluorescence-activated cell sorting revealed that XS106-IDO DCs were not changeable for Ia, CD80, and CD86 expression. After XS106-IDO DCs were co-cultured with C57BL/6 allogeneic splenic T cells, the proliferation of the T cell was significantly inhibited. The co-cultured T cells with XS106-IDO DCs exhibited cell-cycle arrest. Furthermore, injection of XS160-IDO DCs into the footpads of C57BL/6 (H-2b) mice demonstrated a reduced T-cell response against allo-antigen. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that overexpression of IDO in the DCs effectively inhibited T-cell proliferation, and may expand a new immunomodulatory strategy for the prevention of allo-rejection of organ transplantation. 相似文献
