The immune response of C57BL mice to a DBA/2 tumor allograft has been assessed in two assays of cell-mediated immunity, the in vitro lysis of 51Cr-labeled target cells and the antigen-mediated inhibition of macrophage migration. Both assays were shown to be measuring a T-cell-mediated reaction. Three types of experiments suggested that distinct subpopulations of T cells mediate these reactions. The tissue distributions of these activities was distinctive; both activities were present in spleens from i.p. immunized mice, but only macrophage migration inhibition activity was found in the peripheral lymph nodes (PLN) of such mice. Adoptive transfer of immune spleen cells into irradiated syngeneic recipients revealed that while a substantial amount of migration inhibition activity could subsequently be found in PLN, cytotoxic activity was found predominantly in the spleens of these adoptive hosts. Velocity sedimentation analysis of immune cells 14 days after i.p. immunization indicated that while the majority of cytotoxic activity was associated with small and medium lymphocytes, the majority of migration inhibition activity was associated with medium and large lymphocytes. In addition, normal spleen cells were fractionated by velocity sedimentation immediately before allosensitization in vitro. Subsequent analysis of the sensitized fractions revealed that the activity profiles for cytotoxicity and macrophage migration inhibition were not coincident. The implications of these observations are discussed.

AbstractMyeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are derived from bone marrow progenitor cells commonly, which is a heterogeneous cell group composed of immature granulocytes, dendritic cells, macrophages and early undifferentiated bone marrow precursor cells. Its differentiation and immunosuppressive function are regulated by complex network signals, but the specific regulation mechanisms are not yet fully understood. In this study, we found that in mouse of Lewis lung cancer xenograft, long non-coding RNA Snhg6 (lncRNA Snhg6) was highly expressed in tumor-derived MDSCs compared with spleen-derived MDSCs. LncRNA Snhg6 facilitated the differentiation of CD11b+ Ly6G− Ly6Chigh monocytic MDSCs (Mo-MDSCs) rather than CD11b+ Ly6G+ Ly6Clow polymorphonuclear MDSCs (PMN-MDSCs), but did not affect the immunosuppressive function of MDSCs. Notably, lncRNA Snhg6 could inhibit the expression of EZH2 by ubiquitination pathway at protein level rather than mRNA level during the differentiation of mouse bone marrow cells into MDSCs in vitro. EZH2 may be an important factor in the regulation of lncRNA Snhg6 to promote the differentiation of Mo-MDSCs. So what we found may provide new ideas and targets for anti-tumor immunotherapy targeting MDSCs.

Suppression of delayed hypersensitivity in vivo is correlated in vitro with the absence of macrophage migration inhibition in the presence of the antigen used to induce partial tolerance. The suppression of delayed hypersensitivity is antigen-specific in vivo as well as in vitro. The lymphocytes, and not the macrophages, are the cells involved in the induction of tolerance in terms of delayed hypersensitivity which is characterized by an absence of migratory factor activity.

The bone marrow precursor cells seeding the thymus have been difficult to investigate using fresh bone marrow and in vivo thymus reconstitution assays. We have therefore designed a short-term bone marrow culture system allowing the study of thymus-repopulating cells in the marrow microenvironment. Low-density rat bone marrow cells were grown on pre-established mouse bone marrow stromal cell layers. Cocultured cells were maintained either under steroid-free conditions (Whitlock/Witte-type culture) or in the presence of 10(−7) M hydrocortisone (Dexter-type culture). After 3 days in vitro, the unanchored cell fractions were tested for their ability to colonize and repopulate fetal mouse thymic lobes in vitro. Both fresh low-density cells and Whitlock/Witte-type cultures, but not Dexter-type cultures, gave rise intrathymically to significant numbers of rat donor-type Thy-1.1high CD2+ CD5low CD43+ cells accounting for 50% to 90% of the organ-cultured cells at day 14. Repopulation of fetal mouse thymic lobes by rat Thy-1.1high cells could be used as a readout assay for initiation of thymopoiesis from bone marrow precursor cells, since 90% of the cells were CD3-/low and TCR alpha beta-/low and 15% of the cells co-expressed CD4 and CD8. Dose-response analysis showed that thymus repopulating cells were at least maintained, if not amplified during the 3-day culture period, leading to at least a 10-fold enrichment as compared to unfractionated bone marrow. Unlike fresh low-density cells before culture, short-term Whitlock/Witte-type cultures were depleted in myeloid-restricted precursor cells. In culture, the thymus-repopulating activity was predominantly associated with a 10% lymphoid cell subset which did not express the B-lineage-associated antigens revealed by HIS24 (the rat B220 equivalent) and HIS50 mAbs. We propose that unanchored thymus-repopulating cells enriched in Whitlock/Witte-type cultures may represent lymphoid-restricted, T-cell precursors of the bone marrow capable of emigrating and colonizing the thymus.
