Migration Pathways

Studying the influence of chemokine receptors (CCRs) on monocyte fate may reveal information about which subpopulations of monocytes convert to dendritic cells (DCs) and the migration pathways that they use. First, we examined whether prominent CCRs on different monocyte subsets, CCR2 or CX3CR1, mediated migration events upstream of the accumulation of monocyte-derived DCs in lymph nodes (LNs). Monocytes were labeled and traced by uptake of latex microspheres in skin. Unexpectedly, neither CCR2 nor CX3CR1 were required. However, absence of CCR2 led to an increased labeling of the minor Gr-1int monocyte population, and the number of latex+ DCs that emigrated to LNs was correspondingly increased. Characterization of Gr-1int monocytes revealed that they selectively expressed CCR7 and CCR8 mRNA in blood. CCR7 and CCR8 pathways were used by monocyte-derived DCs during mobilization from skin to LNs. The role of CCR8 in emigration from tissues also applied to human monocyte-derived cells in a model of transendothelial trafficking. Collectively, the data suggest that Gr-1int monocytes may be most disposed to become a lymphatic-migrating DCs. When these monocyte-derived DCs exit skin to emigrate to LNs, they use not only CCR7 but also CCR8, which was not previously recognized to participate in migration to LNs.

Migration Pathways

The migration pathways for dendritic cells (DC) from the blood are not yet completely resolved. In our previous study, a selective recruitment of DC progenitors from the blood to the liver was suggested. To clarify the role of the hepatic sinusoids in the migration of blood DC, relatively immature DC and mature DC were isolated from hepatic and intestinal lymph, and intravenously transferred to allogeneic hosts. It was then possible to detect small numbers of DC within secondary lymphoid tissues either by immunostaining for donor type major histocompatibility complex class I antigen or, at much higher sensitivity, for bromodeoxyuridine incorporated by proliferating cells (mainly T lymphocytes), which responded to the alloantigen presented by the administered DC. The intravenously injected DC accumulated in the paracortex of regional lymph nodes of the liver via a lymph-borne pathway. Intravenously injected fluorochrome-labeled syngeneic DC behaved similarly. In contrast, very few DC were found in spleen sections and were hardly detectable in other lymph nodes or in other tissues. An in situ cell binding assay revealed a significant and selective binding of DC to Kupffer cells in liver cryosections. It is concluded that rat DC can undergo a blood–lymph translocation via the hepatic sinusoids, but not via the high endothelial venules of lymph nodes. Hence the hepatic sinusoids may act as a biological concentrator of blood DC into the regional hepatic nodes. Kupffer cells may play an important role in this mechanism.

Acquired Immune Responses

Abstract Dendritic cells (DCs) are essential for the initiation of acquired immune responses through antigen acquisition, migration, maturation, and T-cell stimulation. One of the critical mechanisms in this response is the process actin nucleation and polymerization, which is mediated by several groups of proteins, including mammalian Diaphanous-related formins (mDia). However, the role of mDia in DCs remains unknown. Herein, we examined the role of mDia1 (one of the isoforms of mDia) in DCs. Although the proliferation and maturation of bone marrow-derived DCs were comparable between control C57BL/6 and mDia1-deficient (mDia1−/−) mice, adhesion and spreading to cellular matrix were impaired in mDia1−/− bone marrow–derived DCs. In addition, fluorescein isothiocyanate-induced cutaneous DC migration to draining lymph nodes in vivo and invasive migration and directional migration to CCL21 in vitro were suppressed in mDia1−/− DCs. Moreover, sustained T-cell interaction and T-cell stimulation in lymph nodes were impaired by mDia1 deficiency. Consistent with this, the DC-dependent delayed hypersensitivity response was attenuated by mDia1-deficient DCs. These results suggest that actin polymerization, which is mediated by mDia1, is essential for several aspects of DC-initiated acquired immune responses.

And Function

The O-GlcNAcylation is a posttranslational modification of proteins regulated by O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT) and O-GlcNAcase. These enzymes regulate the development, proliferation and function of cells, including the immune cells. Herein, we focused on the role of O-GlcNAcylation in human monocyte derived dendritic cells (moDCs). Our study suggests that inhibition of OGT modulates AKT and MEK/ERK pathways in moDCs. Changes were also observed in the expression levels of relevant surface markers, where reduced expression of CD80 and DC-SIGN, and increased expression of CD14, CD86 and HLA-DR occurred. We also noticed decreased IL-10 and increased IL-6 production, along with diminished endocytotic capacity of the cells, indicating that inhibition of O-GlcNAcylation hampers the transition of monocytes into immature DCs. Furthermore, the inhibition of OGT altered the maturation process of immature moDCs, since a CD14medDC-SIGNlowHLA-DRmedCD80lowCD86high profile was noticed when OGT inhibitor, OSMI-1, was present. To evaluate DCs ability to influence T cell differentiation and polarization, we co-cultured these cells. Surprisingly, the observed phenotypic changes of mature moDCs generated in the presence of OSMI-1 led to an increased proliferation of allogeneic T cells, while their polarization was not affected. Taken together, we confirm that shifting the O-GlcNAcylation status due to OGT inhibition alters the differentiation and function of moDCs in in vitro conditions.

Hodgkin's Lymphomas

Introduction: Indolent B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphomas (NHL) represent a heterogeneous group of lymphoproliferative malignancies, that remain largely incurable. Marginal zone lymphomas (MZL) are the second most common subtype of indolent NHL, and lack a unique cytogenetic identifying abnormality. The B-cell receptor signaling pathway is activated in B-cell malignancy and mediates its activity mainly through the Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway. Furthermore, novel PI3K inhibitors, such as copanlisib and parsaclisib, have shown impressive clinical activity in several indolent lymphomas including MZL. This further supports the important role of the PI3K pathway in the pathogenesis of this tumor. Therefore, we hypothesized that the PI3K-mTOR pathway is sufficient for driving the pathogenesis of MZL. Methods: In order to test our hypothesis, we generated a genetically engineered mouse model carrying heterozygous global knockout alleles of both the tumor suppressor genes Phosphatase and Tensin Homolog (PTEN) and Liver Kinase B1 (LKB1). This led to over-activation of the PI3K-mTOR pathway in all mouse tissues. We closely monitored these mice for tumor formation via weekly physical examinations for several months. Upon tumor detection, the mouse was sacrificed, and tumors were sectioned for histological characterization. In order to generate a more specific model of B cells, and more accurately mimic the underlying human disease, we used the Cre-LoxP system to create the CD19-Cre-PTENfl/fl-LKB1fl/fl. Results: Thirty mice of global KO PTEN+/- LKB1 +/- died or were sacrificed due to disease progression, defined as either lymph node enlargement and/or splenomegaly. All mice showed either abnormal lymphadenopathy or splenomegaly. By Kaplan-Meier analysis, we saw a steady decrease in both tumor-free and overall survival after 3 months of age. Utilizing the product limit method, the median survival time was 6 months (95% CI: 6, 8). A total of 51 lymph nodes were sent for immunohistochemistry and pathological characterization. Of the 51 nodes, 61.5% (N=32) showed indolent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, 25% (N=13) were atypical, and 11.5% (N=6) were reactive. All lymph nodes with indolent NHL were of MZL subtype. Compared to wild type (n=3), the new CD19-Cre-PTENfl/fl -LKB1fl/fl (n=3) showed an overall increase in spleen mass (120 vs 196 mg, p=0.0564), % B1 cells (4% vs 59%, p= 0.0075), % MZ cells (5% vs 30%, p=0.0547), % plasma cells (1% vs 12%, p=0.0729), and decrease in % FO cells (80% vs 12%, p=0.0003) by flowcytometry. Further characterization of the new model is currently underway. Conclusion: Marginal zone lymphoma remains an incurable lymphoma that lacks reliable preclinical models. Our data provides, for the first time, a proof of concept on the role of the PI3K-mTOR pathway in the pathogenesis of marginal zone lymphoma and paves the way for future studies understanding the biology of this disease, and developing rational therapies for this incurable malignancy.

Ara h 2 is a relevant peanut allergen linked to severe allergic reactions. The interaction of Ara h 2 with components of the sensitization phase of food allergy (e.g., dendritic cells) has not been investigated, and could be key to understanding the allergenic potential of this allergen. In this study, we aimed to analyze such interactions and the possible mechanism involved. Ara h 2 was purified from two forms of peanut, raw and roasted, and labeled with a fluorescent dye. Human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (MDDCs) were obtained, and experiments of Ara h 2 internalization by MDDCs were carried out. The role of the mannose receptor in the internalization of Ara h 2 from raw and roasted peanuts was also investigated. Results showed that Ara h 2 internalization by MDDCs was both time and dose dependent. Mannose receptors in MDDCs had a greater implication in the internalization of Ara h 2 from roasted peanuts. However, this receptor was also important in the internalization of Ara h 2 from raw peanuts, as opposed to other allergens such as raw Ara h 3.

Abstract Flagellin, the principal component of bacterial flagella, interacts with Toll-like receptor (TLR5) and induces the generation of a pro-inflammation response and activation of host dendritic cells (DCs) in vivo. In this study, we investigated the role of Vibrio parahaemolyticus (V. parahaemolyticus)-derived flagellin as a DC maturation-inducing molecule. V. parahemolyticus-derived flagellin (100–1,000 ng/ml) induced the maturation of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells in a concentration-dependent manner with maximal effect at 500 ng/ml of flagellin as determined by increased levels of surface markers, namely, CD1a, CD80, CD86, CD83, and HLA-DR, a response which could be compared with the phenotypic change in immature DCs (iDCs) treated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or cytokine cocktails (CC) with TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, and PGE2. Moreover, V. parahaemolyticus-derived flagellin also reduced phagocytic activity, and increased IL-12 production in a polymyxin B-insensitive manner and DC-mediated T cell proliferation, which is comparable with that of LPS- or CC-treated iDCs at several responder to stimulator ratios, suggesting the functional maturation of DCs by V. parahaemolyticus-derived flagellin. Maturation of DCs by V. parahaemolyticus-derived flagellin also elicited a significant increase in specific cytotoxic activity against target cells at several effector to target cells ratios as determined by 51Cr-release assay, and induced Th1-type immune response, such as increase in INF-γ producing cells, determined by ELISPOT assay and analysis of intracellular cytokine staining assay. Taken together, this study demonstrates the role of V. parahaemolyticus-derived flagellin in the functional maturation of DCs, and suggests that V. parahaemolyticus-derived flagellin as a useful molecule for the development of a DC-based immunotherapy against tumors.
