Abstract

In this study, we explored whether Nutlin-3a, a well-known, nontoxic small-molecule compound antagonizing the inhibitory interaction of MDM2 with the tumor suppressor p53, may restore ligands for natural killer (NK) cell-activating receptors (NK-AR) on neuroblastoma cells to enhance the NK cell-mediated killing. Neuroblastoma cell lines were treated with Nutlin-3a, and the expression of ligands for NKG2D and DNAM-1 NK-ARs and the neuroblastoma susceptibility to NK cells were evaluated. Adoptive transfer of human NK cells in a xenograft neuroblastoma-bearing NSG murine model was assessed. Two data sets of neuroblastoma patients were explored to correlate p53 expression with ligand expression. Luciferase assays and chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis of p53 functional binding on PVR promoter were performed. Primary neuroblastoma cells were also treated with Nutlin-3a, and neuroblastoma spheroids obtained from one high-risk patient were assayed for NK-cell cytotoxicity. We provide evidence showing that the Nutlin-3a-dependent rescue of p53 function in neuroblastoma cells resulted in (i) increased surface expression of ligands for NK-ARs, thus rendering neuroblastoma cell lines significantly more susceptible to NK cell-mediated killing; (ii) shrinkage of human neuroblastoma tumor masses that correlated with overall survival upon adoptive transfer of NK cells in neuroblastoma-bearing mice; (iii) and increased expression of ligands in primary neuroblastoma cells and boosting of NK cell-mediated disaggregation of neuroblastoma spheroids. We also found that p53 was a direct transcription factor regulating the expression of PVR ligand recognized by DNAM-1. Our findings demonstrated an immunomodulatory role of Nutlin-3a, which might be prospectively used for a novel NK cell-based immunotherapy for neuroblastoma.

Abstract

Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes play an essential role in improving clinical outcome of neuroblastoma (NB) patients, but their relationship with other tumor-infiltrating immune cells in the T cell-inflamed tumors remains poorly investigated. Here we show that dendritic cells (DCs) and natural killer (NK) cells are positively correlated with T-cell infiltration in human NB, both at transcriptional and protein levels, and associate with a favorable prognosis. Multiplex imaging displays DC/NK/T cell conjugates in the tumor microenvironment of low-risk NB. Remarkably, this connection is further strengthened by the identification of gene signatures related to DCs and NK cells able to predict survival of NB patients and strongly correlate with the expression of PD-1 and PD-L1. In summary, our findings unveil a key prognostic role of DCs and NK cells and indicate their related gene signatures as promising tools for the identification of clinical biomarkers to better define risk stratification and survival of NB patients.

Abstract

These guidelines are a consensus work of a considerable number of members of the immunology and flow cytometry community. They provide the theory and key practical aspects of flow cytometry enabling immunologists to avoid the common errors that often undermine immunological data. Notably, there are comprehensive sections of all major immune cell types with helpful Tables detailing phenotypes in murine and human cells. The latest flow cytometry techniques and applications are also described, featuring examples of the data that can be generated and, importantly, how the data can be analysed. Furthermore, there are sections detailing tips, tricks and pitfalls to avoid, all written and peer-reviewed by leading experts in the field, making this an essential research companion.

Abstract

The tumor microenvironment restrains conventional T cell (Tconv) activation while facilitating the expansion of Tregs. Here we showed that Tregs’ advantage in the tumor milieu relies on supplemental energetic routes involving lipid metabolism. In murine models, tumor-infiltrating Tregs displayed intracellular lipid accumulation, which was attributable to an increased rate of fatty acid (FA) synthesis. Since the relative advantage in glucose uptake may fuel FA synthesis in intratumoral Tregs, we demonstrated that both glycolytic and oxidative metabolism contribute to Tregs’ expansion. We corroborated our data in human tumors showing that Tregs displayed a gene signature oriented toward glycolysis and lipid synthesis. Our data support a model in which signals from the tumor microenvironment induce a circuitry of glycolysis, FA synthesis, and oxidation that confers a preferential proliferative advantage to Tregs, whose targeting might represent a strategy for cancer treatment.

Abstract

Apoptotic cells have long been considered as intrinsically tolerogenic or unable to elicit immune responses specific for dead cell-associated antigens. However, multiple stimuli can trigger a functionally peculiar type of apoptotic demise that does not go unnoticed by the adaptive arm of the immune system, which we named "immunogenic cell death" (ICD). ICD is preceded or accompanied by the emission of a series of immunostimulatory damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) in a precise spatiotemporal configuration. Several anticancer agents that have been successfully employed in the clinic for decades, including various chemotherapeutics and radiotherapy, can elicit ICD. Moreover, defects in the components that underlie the capacity of the immune system to perceive cell death as immunogenic negatively influence disease outcome among cancer patients treated with ICD inducers. Thus, ICD has profound clinical and therapeutic implications. Unfortunately, the gold-standard approach to detect ICD relies on vaccination experiments involving immunocompetent murine models and syngeneic cancer cells, an approach that is incompatible with large screening campaigns. Here, we outline strategies conceived to detect surrogate markers of ICD in vitro and to screen large chemical libraries for putative ICD inducers, based on a high-content, high-throughput platform that we recently developed. Such a platform allows for the detection of multiple DAMPs, like cell surface-exposed calreticulin, extracellular ATP and high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), and/or the processes that underlie their emission, such as endoplasmic reticulum stress, autophagy and necrotic plasma membrane permeabilization. We surmise that this technology will facilitate the development of next-generation anticancer regimens, which kill malignant cells and simultaneously convert them into a cancer-specific therapeutic vaccine. peerreview_statement: The publishing and review policy for this title is described in its Aims & Scope. aims_and_scope_url: http://www.tandfonline.com/action/journalInformation?show=aimsScope&journalCode=koni20 ispartof: OncoImmunology vol:3 issue:9 pages:12472-124508 ispartof: location:United States status: published

32. Responses of peptide-specific T cells to stimulation with polystyrene beads carrying HLA class I molecules loaded with single peptides

Abstract

Cell-sized microbeads carrying single peptide-loaded HLA class I molecules were prepared for HLA-A2 and HLA-B7 by a simple procedure which transfers single peptide-loaded HLA class I molecules from cultured cells to polystyrene beads using anti-peptide antibodies directed to an intracellular segment of HLA-A alpha chains. The surface density of peptide-loaded HLA class I molecules on beads was comparable to that on the peptide-loaded cells. HLA-A2 beads loaded with an HCV peptide HCV1073 were tested for stimulation activity on an HCV1073-specific CD8+ T cell clone NS3-1. A substantial level of gamma-IFN production was induced. The stimulation was peptide-specific. The efficiency was dependent on the bead concentration and the surface HLA class I density on beads and enhanced significantly by co-coupling of anti-CD28 to peptide-loaded beads. The peptide-loading efficiency on HLA class I molecules and the transfer efficiency of HLA class I molecules to polystyrene beads were reasonably high for HLA-A2 and HLA-B7. Thus, polystyrene beads carrying these single peptide-loaded HLA class I molecules are potentially useful in further analysis of the co-stimulatory or inhibitory factors involved in CD8+ T cell responses and eventually in detection of cytotoxic T cells in PBLs.

Abstract

CTL responses against multiple hepatitis C virus (HCV) epitopes were detected in 7 of 29 (24.1%) healthy family members (HFM) persistently exposed to chronically HCV-infected patients (HCV-HFM). These precursor CTL were at very low or undetectable frequencies, as determined by limiting dilution analysis. However, when HCV-specific effector CD8+ T cells, freshly isolated from PBMC of HCV-HFM, were assessed by a sensitive enzyme-linked immunospot assay, their frequencies were severalfold higher than those of precursor CTL. These results indicate that the two assays detect two functionally distinct T cell populations and that the effector cells are not assayed by the 51Cr-release assay. Furthermore, the combination of cell depletion and enzyme-linked immunospot analyses showed that the effector cells were confined into a CD8+ CD45RO+ CD28− population. The persistence of effector CD8+ T cells specific for both the structural and nonstructural viral proteins in uninfected HCV-HFM, suggest that: 1) an immunological memory is established upon a subclinical infection without any evidence of hepatitis, in a large cohort of HCV-exposed individuals; 2) because these cells required neither restimulation nor the addition of particular cytokines in vitro for differentiating in effectors, they should be capable of prompt HCV-specific effector function in vivo, possibly providing antiviral protection; and 3) the maintenance of effector T cell responses may be sustained by persisting low-level stimulation induced by inapparent infections.

Abstract

Hepatitis delta virus is a human pathogen that is responsible for a severe form of hepatitis affecting hepatitis B envelope Ag carriers. We have previously identified a series of hepatitis delta Ag (HDAg) epitopes that are recognized by CD4+ T cell clones isolated from infected subjects. Herein, we show that the presentation of soluble HDAg to CD4+ T cell clones that are specific for the HDAg(106-121) epitope was exceptionally unaffected by the inhibition of the APC-processing machinery when APCs were fixed with glutaraldehyde before Ag pulsing or treated with chloroquine or brefeldin A. Interestingly, 5 h of pulsing was strictly required for the efficient presentation of the HDAg(106-21) epitope by fixed APCs, suggesting that some form of extracellular processing had occurred. Indeed, fixed APCs were able to present HDAg after only 1 h of pulsing when HDAg was preincubated with serum for 5 h. More important, presentation was completely abrogated when Ag was previously incubated in medium containing serum in the presence of a potent inhibitor of trypsin activity such as the secretory leukoprotease inhibitor. These results show that HDAg may undergo extracellular processing and suggest that the generation of immunogenic epitopes directly by serum proteases could play a role in the immune response against hepatitis delta virus during infection.

Abstract

Intracellular processing of the products of the bcr-abl junction region in CML Philadelphia chromosomes would generate novel peptides which, if they are capable of binding to HLA-class I molecules, would be potential targets of a cytotoxic T cell response. The 18 nonamers corresponding to the b2-a2 and b3-a2 fusions and differing from the parental bcr and abl sequences for at least one amino acid have been synthesized and tested for binding with HLA class I alpha chain preparations from HLA-homozygous B lymphoblastoid cell lines. Two peptides derived from the b3-a2 junction bound to HLA-A3 and elicited detectable specific CTL responses in vitro. The binding affinity of one of the two peptides could be increased by appropriate substitutions of the anchor residues with those of the known HLA-A3 anchor motifs. More important, the modified peptide had increased capacity to prime a specific CTL response in vitro. The interaction with HLA-A3 of these two peptides and their substitution derivatives seems to be promising for target trials aimed at eliciting a specific CD8 T cell response against CML.

Abstract

The association between acute rejection, acute tubular necrosis, good function and relative infiltration of CD56 subsets of both CD8+ and CD4+ T cells was examined on 67 samples of graft infiltrating cells (GIC) and corresponding peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) obtained from renal allograft recipients. Quantification of cell subset profiles was determined by two-color flow cytometry. While a high proportion of CD4+CD56+ GIC was detected when both renal dysfunction and graft cytopathology (acute tubular necrosis or acute rejection) were present, this cell subset was undetectable in peripheral blood. In contrast the CD8+CD56+ T-cell subset was not discriminatory. The presence of CD4+CD56+ cells among freshly-isolated lymphocytes from renal allografts supports the idea that the local environment is involved in the selection of this subset, thus participating in the amplification of the immune-response. In addition, a homing of this T-cell subset into the transplanted organ may constitute an early sign of graft immunopathology.

Abstract

In the present study, we found that human recombinant interferon-alpha (rIFN-alpha) given at a dose of 3 x 10(6) units thrice weekly for three months, and 1.5 x 10(6) units thrice weekly for the next three months, was able to restore depressed natural-killer (NK) activity to normal values in 12 out of 21 chronic hepatitis C patients positive for anti-HCV antibodies. In all of these patients, NK normalization was still sustained after three months from suspension of therapy. Eighteen patients also showed a normalization of the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) level by the end of treatment (responder patients), independently of changes in NK activity. No significant improvement in either NK activity or aminotransferase levels was seen among 20 untreated patients. In 8 responder patients (1 with normalized and 7 with low NK activity), ALT levels returned to pre-therapy values within three months after suspension of rIFN-alpha administration (relapse). We found that patients who normalized NK activity had a lower frequency of relapse as compared to patients with low NK activity by the end of treatment (p0.01). Immunofluorescence analysis of biopsy-derived liver tissue revealed that rIFN-alpha was able to induce strong MHC class I antigen expression on hepatocytes of treated patients, but this was not related to the clinical course.
