AbstractEarly innate education of hematopoietic progenitors within the bone marrow (BM) stably primes them for either trained immunity or instead immunoregulatory functions. We herein demonstrate that in vivo or in vitro activation within the BM via Toll-like receptor-9 generates a population of plasmacytoid dendritic cell (pDC) precursors (CpG-pre-pDCs) that, unlike pDC precursors isolated from PBS-incubated BM (PBS-pre-pDCs), are endowed with the capacity to halt progression of ongoing experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. CpG activation enhances the selective migration of pDC precursors to the inflamed spinal cord, induces their immediate production of TGF-β, and after migration, of enhanced levels of IL-27. CpG-pre-pDC derived TGF-β and IL-27 ensure protection at early and late phases of the disease, respectively. Spinal cords of CpG-pre-pDC-protected recipient mice display enhanced percentages of host-derived pDCs expressing TGF-β as well as an accumulation of IL-10 producing B cells and of CD11c+ CD11b+ dendritic cells. These results reveal that pDC precursors are conferred stable therapeutic properties by early innate activation within the BM. They further extend to the pDC lineage promising perspectives for cell therapy of autoimmune diseases with innate activated hematopoietic precursor cells.

Abstract Stimulation of sheep erythropoietic progenitor cells by erythropoietin (epo) has been studied with regard to its effect on the pattern of hemoglobin production. An analysis of hemoglobin (Hb) synthesis in BFU- E- and CFU-E-derived colonies from fetuses either homozygous for HbA (AA) (homozygous also for the beta c gene responsible for HbC production) or HbB (BB) (lacking the beta c gene) indicated the following. Colonies derived from precursor cells from 51- and 89-day fetuses exhibited small but detectable increments of HbB synthesis with prolonged incubation in vitro. This response was not dependent on the epo concentration. Erythropoietic precursor cells from a 124-day BB fetus were already committed to HbB synthesis, since HbF production was replaced by HbB on successive days in vitro as erythroid colonies matured; this switch was not affected by varying the epo concentration. In contrast, progenitor cells from a 124-day AA fetus responded to higher doses of epo by forming colonies in which more HbC was made at the expense of both HbF and HbA. Erythropoietic stress did not result in induction of HbF in vivo or in erythroid colonies derived from CFU-E in young adult BB sheep, whereas our prior studies had shown induction of HbC synthesis under analogous conditions in colonies derived from young adult AA sheep. We conclude that the epo-induced HbF (or HbA) to HbC switch and the fetal to adult hemoglobin switch are regulated by different mechanisms.

In many cell types, several cellular processes, such as differentiation of stem/precursor cells, maintenance of differentiated phenotype, motility, adhesion, growth, and survival, strictly depend on the stiffness of extracellular matrix that,in vivo, characterizes their correspondent organ and tissue. In the liver, the stromal rigidity is essential to obtain the correct organ physiology whereas any alteration causes liver cell dysfunctions. The rigidity of the substrate is an element no longer negligible for the cultivation of several cell types, so that many data so far obtained, where cells have been cultured on plastic, could be revised. Regarding liver cells, standard culture conditions lead to the dedifferentiation of primary hepatocytes, transdifferentiation of stellate cells into myofibroblasts, and loss of fenestration of sinusoidal endothelium. Furthermore, standard cultivation of liver stem/precursor cells impedes an efficient execution of the epithelial/hepatocyte differentiation program, leading to the expansion of a cell population expressing only partially liver functions and products. Overcoming these limitations is mandatory for any approach of liver tissue engineering. Here we propose cell lines asin vitromodels of liver stem cells and hepatocytes and an innovative culture method that takes into account the substrate stiffness to obtain, respectively, a rapid and efficient differentiation process and the maintenance of the fully differentiated phenotype.

Abstract Among prostaglandins (PGs), PGE2 is abundantly expressed in various malignancies and is probably one of many factors promoting tumor growth by inhibiting tumor immune surveillance. In the current study, we report on a novel mechanism by which PGE2 inhibits in vitro natural killer–dendritic cell (NK-DC) crosstalk and thereby innate and adaptive immune responses via its effect on NK-DC crosstalk. The presence of PGE2 during IFN-γ/membrane fraction of Klebsiella pneumoniae DC maturation inhibits the production of chemokines (CCL5, CCL19, and CXCL10) and cytokines (IL-12 and IL-18), which is cAMP-dependent and imprinted during DC maturation. As a consequence, these DCs fail to attract NK cells and show a decreased capacity to trigger NK cell IFN-γ production, which in turn leads to reduced T-helper 1 polarization. In addition, the presence of PGE2 during DC maturation impairs DC-mediated augmentation of NK-cell cytotoxicity. Opposed to their inhibitory effects on peripheral blood–derived NK cells, PGE2 matured DCs induce IL-22 secretion of inflammation constraining NKp44+ NK cells present in mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue. The inhibition of NK-DC interaction is a novel regulatory property of PGE2 that is of possible relevance in dampening immune responses in vivo.

Abstract Abstract 957 Introduction: Various approaches to induce immunological rejection of tumors including transfer of autologous tumor infiltrating lymhocytes (TIL) after ex vivo clonal expansion or application of ex vivo transduced antigen specific T cell (TCR) transgenic T cells have been elaborated. In general, adoptive T cell transfer (ATC) has been combined with lympho-depleting agents (e.g. cyclophosphamide). However, the therapeutic efficacy of these cancer immunotherapy approaches is limited due to insufficient in vivo activation, expansion and survival of transferred effector immune cells, which is mainly due to suppressive mileu signals and immune evasion mechanisms induced by TGF-β. The E3 ubiquitin ligase Cbl-b is a key regulator of T cell activation and is assumed to confer TGF-β resistance. Thus we performed a proof-of-concept study evaluating Cbl-b targeting as “intracellular adjuvant” strategy to improve ATC for cancer immunotherapy. Material and Methods: We first tested the in vitro sensitivity of CTL towards TGF-β mediated immuno-suppressive cues and then in vivo evaluated the anti-tumor reactivity of cblb-deficient cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in murine tumor models alone or in combination with a dendritic cell (DC) vaccine. Results: Cblb-deficient CTL are hyper-responsive to TCR/CD28-stimulation in vitro and protected from the negative cues induced by TGF-β as determined by quantification fo IFN-g secretion and quantification of their proliferative capacity. Unexpectedly, adoptive transfer of polyclonal, non TCR-transgenic cblb-deficient CD8+ CTL, however, is not sufficient to reject B16ova or EG7 tumors in vivo, which is in clear contrast to previous reports using lymphopenic animals receiving adoptively transferred TCR-transgenic T cells. Thus, we next evaluated in vivo re-activation of adoptively transferred cblb-deficient T cells by a DC vaccine (i.e. SIINFEKL-pulsed DC). In strict contrast to ATC monotherapy, this approach now markedly delays tumor outgrowth and significantly increase survival rates, which is paralleled by an increased CTL infiltration rate to the tumor site and an enrichment of ova-specific and IFN-g-secreting CTL in the draining lymph nodes. Moreover, compared to wild-type CTL, cblb-deficient mice vaccinated with the DC vaccine show an increased cytolytic activity in vivo. Conclusions: In summary, we provide experimental evidence that genetic inactivation of cblb in polyclonal, non-TCR transgenic adoptively transferred CTL might serve as a novel “adjuvant approach”, suitable to augment the effectiveness of anti-cancer immunotherapies using ATC in immune-competent recipients. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

AbstractWe demonstrated that B-cell–dendritic cell (DC) interactions via transmembrane activator and calcium modulator and cyclophilin ligand (CAML) interactor (TACI) and B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) provide an early signal critical to generate adequate numbers of mature antigen presenting cells (APCs) to prime naive CD8+ T cells (CTLs) in vivo. Evidence that B cells are required for efficient CTL generation in mice and that reconstitution with wild-type but not TACI-knockout B cells restored normal CTL responses support our conclusion. Moreover, low doses of a TACI fusion protein (TACI-Fc) that express the extracellular domain of TACI (amino acid [aa] 1-126) restored CTL priming in B-cell–deficient mice in vivo and induced DC maturation in vitro. In fact, following interactions with B cells, splenic DCs rapidly express the CD86 costimulatory molecule, to an extent comparable to the exposure to antigenic stimuli. BLyShigh peptide-pulsed bone marrow–derived DCs, used as vaccines in vivo, cannot generate CTLs in B-cell–deficient and TACI-deficient mice, strongly supporting a need for B-cell–DC cooperation through TACI-BLyS during CTL first encounter with antigens in vivo.
