ABSTRACT Dendritic cells are pivotal antigen-presenting cells for generating adaptive T-cell responses. Here, we show that dendritic cells belonging to either the myeloid-related or lymphoid-related subset are permissive for infection by mouse polyomavirus and, when loaded with a peptide corresponding to the immunodominant anti-polyomavirus CD8+T-cell epitope or infected by polyomavirus, are each capable of driving expansion of primary polyomavirus-specific CD8+ T-cell responses in vivo.

Dendritic cells (DCs) genetically engineered to overexpress CD95 (Fas) ligand (CD95L-DC) were proposed as tools to induce peripheral tolerance to alloantigens. Herein, we observed that CD95L-DC obtained after retroviral gene transfer in bone marrow (BM) precursors derived from CD95-deficient (lpr/lpr) mice elicit much stronger allospecific type 1 helper T-cell and cytotoxic T-cell activities than control DCs upon injection in vivo, although they induce lower T-cell responses in vitro. Indeed, a single injection of CD95L-DC prepared from C57BL/6 mice was sufficient to prime bm13 recipients for acute rejection of C57BL/6 skin allografts that were otherwise tolerated in the context of this single weak major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I incompatibility. Massive neutrophil infiltrates depending on interleukin (IL)–1 signaling were observed at sites of CD95L-DC injection. Experiments in IL-1 receptor–deficient mice or in animals injected with depleting anti-Gr1 monoclonal antibody (mAb) established that neutrophil recruitment is required for the development of vigorous T-cell responses after injection of CD95L-DC in vivo.

Abstract Cross-presentation is a crucial mechanism in tumoral and microbial immunity because it allows internalized cell associated or exogenous antigens (Ags) to be delivered into the major histocompatibility complex I pathway. This pathway is important for the development of CD8+ T-cell responses and for the induction of tolerance. In mice, cross-presentation is considered to be a unique property of CD8α+ conventional dendritic cells (DCs). Here we show that splenic plasmacytoid DCs (pDCs) efficiently capture exogenous Ags in vivo but are not able to cross-present these Ags at steady state. However, in vitro and in vivo stimulation by Toll-like receptor-7, or -9 or viruses licenses pDCs to cross-present soluble or particulate Ags by a transporter associated with antigen processing-dependent mechanism. Induction of cross-presentation confers to pDCs the ability to generate efficient effector CD8+ T-cell responses against exogenous Ags in vivo, showing that pDCs may play a crucial role in induction of adaptive immune responses against pathogens that do not infect tissues of hemopoietic origin. This study provides the first evidence for an in vivo role of splenic pDCs in Ag cross-presentation and T-cell cross-priming and suggests that pDCs may constitute an attractive target to boost the efficacy of vaccines based on cytotoxic T lymphocyte induction.

Abstract The objective of this study was to investigate whether the immunostimulatory properties of human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) could be enhanced by triggering OX40/OX40L signaling. Since monocyte-derived DCs possess only low-cell surface levels of OX40L in the absence of CD40 signaling, OX40L was expressed by transfection of DCs with the corresponding mRNA. We show that OX40L mRNA transfection effectively enhanced the immunostimulatory function of DCs at multiple levels: OX40L mRNA transfection augmented allogeneic and HLA class II epitope-specific CD4+ T-cell responses, improved the stimulation of antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in vitro without interfering with the prostaglandin E2 (PGE2)–mediated migratory function of the DCs, and facilitated interleukin 12 p70 (IL-12p70)–independent T helper type 1 (Th1) polarization of naive CD4+ T-helper cells. Furthermore, vaccination of tumor-bearing mice using OX40L mRNA–cotransfected DCs resulted in significant enhancement of therapeutic antitumor immunity due to in vivo priming of Th1-type T-cell responses. Our data suggest that transfection of DCs with OX40L mRNA may represent a promising strategy that could be applied in clinical immunotherapy protocols, while circumventing the current unavailability of reagents facilitating OX40 ligation.
