BackgroundExosomes are vesicular granules of about 100 nm and are secreted by many types of cells. Exosomes contain various proteins, lipids, and RNAs that are transported to target cells which induce functional and physiological changes. Exosomes are promising nano-vesicles for clinical application, owing to their high biocompatibility, low immunogenicity, and high drug delivery efficacy. Recent studies have demonstrated that exosomes from tumor cells or antigen presenting cells (APCs) regulate immune responses. Tumor derived exosomes express PD-L1 on their surface and suppress tumor immunity systemically. On the other hand, mature dendritic cells derived exosomes exert immune activation, and tumor immunotherapy using DCs exosome has been developed. However, few studies have been found to exert a significant effect on cancer treatment, may be because of low expression of costimulatory molecules and lack of cytokines on DCs derived exosomes.MethodsIt has been demonstrated that GFP can be conveyed into exosomes by conjugating GFP with tetraspanins, exosome-specific surface proteins. First, we generated a tetraspanin fusion protein with a single-chain MHCI trimer (scMHCI). IL-2 is inserted on the second extracellular loop of CD81, allowing robust and functional expression of IL-2 on the exosome. We collected exosomes from HEK293 cells culture, which stably express scMHCI-CD81-IL2 and CD80-MFGE8, and used as Antigen-presenting exosome(AP-Exo).ResultsAP-Exo expresses high expression of MHCI-peptide complex, costimulatory molecule, and cytokine, activating cognate CD8 T cells as dendritic cells do. AP-Exo selectively delivered co-stimulation and IL-2 to antigen-specific CD8 T cells, resulting in a massive expansion of antigen-specific CD8 T cells without severe adverse effects in mice. AP-Exo can expand endogenous tumor-specific CD8 T cells and induce the potent anti-tumor effect.ConclusionsOur strategy for building engineered exosomes that work like APCs might develop novel methods for cancer immunotherapy.Ethics ApprovalAll mice were housed in a specific pathogen-free facility, and all animal experiments were performed according to a protocol approved by Kanazawa University, Kanazawa, Japan.

Dendritic cells (DCs) express Fcγ receptors (FcγRs) for the binding immune complexes (ICs) consisting of IgG and antigens (Ags). IC–FcγR interactions have been demonstrated to enhance activation and antigen-presenting functions of DCs. Utilizing Friend virus (FV), an oncogenic mouse retrovirus, we investigated the effect of IgG-opsonization of retroviral particles on the infection of DCs and the subsequent presentation of viral antigens by DCs to virus-specific CD8 T cells. We found that opsonization by virus-specific non-neutralizing IgG abrogated DC infection and as a consequence significantly reduced the capacity of DCs to activate virus-specific CD8 T cells. Effects of IgG-opsonization were mediated by the high-affinity FcγR type I, CD64, expressed on DCs. Our results suggest that different opsonization patterns on the retroviral surface modulate infection and antigen-presenting functions of DCs, whereby, in contrast to complement, IgG reduces the capacity of DCs to activate cytotoxic T cell (CTL) responses.

The role of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) as a regulator of the immune response, although extensively investigated, is still debated. We then studied the expression of IL-1β by human dendritic cells (DCs), the professional antigen presenting cells, and its modulation during immune reactions in vitro. Our results show that, on maturation or tetanus toxoid presentation to specific CD4+ CD40L+T lymphocytes, DCs begin to accumulate IL-1β precursor (pro–IL-1β) but do not secrete bioactive IL-1β. In contrast, interaction with alloreactive T cells results in both stimulation of pro–IL-1β synthesis and secretion of processed isoforms of the cytokine, that display biologic activity. Both CD4+ and CD8+ subsets of allospecific T lymphocytes are required: CD4+ T cells drive the synthesis of pro–IL-1β through CD40 engagement but have no effects on pro–IL-1β processing; CD8+ T cells, unable to induce synthesis of pro–IL-1β per se, are responsible for the generation of mature IL-1β by pro–IL-1β–producing DCs. Interleukin-1β–converting enzyme (ICE) inhibitors do not prevent the recovery of IL-1β bioactivity after allorecognition, indicating that allospecific CD8+ T cells may induce the release of bioactive IL-1β via mechanism(s) other than ICE activation. Altogether, these findings suggest that CD4+ and CD8+ T-lymphocyte subsets have distinct roles in the induction of IL-1β secretion by DCs and support the hypothesis that IL-1β plays a role in cell-mediated immune responses.

Key Points CD1c+ DC but not BDCA-3+ DC or other antigen-presenting cells secrete high amounts of bioactive IL-12. CD1c+ DC efficiently cross-present antigens, prime CD8+ T cells, and induce the highest levels of cytotoxic molecules.

Key PointsDefects in perforin and related genes lead to abnormal T-cell activation and are associated with HLH. The physiological mechanism by which perforin protects from HLH involves CD8+ T-cell elimination of rare antigen-presenting dendritic cells.

Professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) are capable of transporting self-antigens from peripheral tissues to secondary lymphoid organs where they are presented to potentially autoreactive CD8+ T cells. In the absence of an inflammatory response, this results in immune tolerance. The presence of activated, antigen-specific CD4+ T cells converts this tolerogenic encounter into an immunogenic one by promoting extensive proliferation of CD8+ T cells and their development into effectors. Surprisingly, activation of APCs with an agonistic antibody specific for CD40 could not substitute for CD4+ help in this task. Anti-CD40 induced recruitment of dendritic cells expressing high levels of B7 costimulatory molecules into the lymph nodes, which in turn, greatly enhanced activation and expansion of CD8+ T cells. However, these activated CD8+ cells did not demonstrate effector function. We conclude that proliferative potential and gain of effector function are separable events in the differentiation program of CD8+ T cells.
