Friend Retrovirus

Abstract Retroviruses have developed immunmodulatory mechanisms to avoid being attacked by the immune system. The mechanisms of this retrovirus-associated immune suppression are far from clarified. Dendritic cells (DCs) have been attributed a decisive role in these pathogenic processes. We have used the Friend retrovirus (FV) mouse model in order to acquire further knowledge about the role of infection of DCs in virus-induced immunosuppression. About 20% of the myeloid DCs that were generated from the bone marrow of FV-infected mice carried FV proteins. The infection was productive, and infected DCs transmitted the virus in cell culture and in vivo. FV infection of DCs led to a defect in DC maturation, as infected cells expressed very little costimulatory molecules. Live imaging analysis of the cell contact between DCs and T cells revealed prolonged contacts of T cells with infected DCs compared with uninfected DCs. Although naive T cells were still activated by FV-infected DCs, this activation did not result in antigen-specific T-cell proliferation. Interestingly, infected DCs expanded a population of Foxp3+ regulatory T cells with immunosuppressive potential, suggesting that the contact between naive T cells and retrovirus-infected DCs results in tolerance rather than immunity. Thus, retroviral infection of DCs leads to an expansion of regulatory T cells, which might serve as an immune escape mechanism of the virus.

Antigen Presenting

Because of the low frequency of T cells for any particular soluble protein antigen in unprimed animals, the requirements for naive T cell responses in specific antigens have not been clearly delineated and they have been difficult to study in vitro. We have taken advantage of mice transgenic for the V beta 3/V alpha 11 T cell receptor (TCR), which can recognize a peptide of cytochrome c presented by IEk. 85-90% of CD4+ T cells in these mice express the transgenic TCR, and we show that almost all such V beta 3/V alpha 11 receptor-positive cells have a phenotype characteristic of naive T cells, including expression of high levels of CD45RB, high levels of L-selectin (Mel-14), low levels of CD44 (Pgp-1), and secretion of interleukin 2 (IL-2) as the major cytokine. Naive T cells, separated on the basis of CD45RB high expression, gave vigorous responses (proliferation and IL-2 secretion) to peptide antigen presented in vitro by a mixed antigen-presenting cell population. At least 50% of the T cell population appeared to respond, as assessed by blast transformation, entry into G1, and expression of increased levels of CD44 by 24 h. Significant contributions to the response by contaminating memory CD4+ cells were ruled out by demonstrating that the majority of the CD45RB low, L-selectin low, CD44 high cells did not express the V beta 3/V alpha 11 TCR and responded poorly to antigen. We find that proliferation and IL-2 secretion of the naive CD4 cells is minimal when resting B cells present peptide antigen, and that both splenic and bone marrow-derived macrophages are weak stimulators. Naive T cells did respond well to high numbers of activated B cells. However, dendritic cells were the most potent stimulators of proliferation and IL-2 secretion at low cell numbers, and were far superior inducers of IL-2 at higher numbers. These studies establish that naive CD4 T cells can respond vigorously to soluble antigen and indicate that maximal stimulation can be achieved by presentation of antigen on dendritic cells. This model should prove very useful in further investigations of activation requirements and functional characteristics of naive helper T cells.

Abstract Dendritic cells (DCs) have the unique ability to initiate primary immune responses, and they can be conditioned for vaccinal purposes to present antigens after the engulfment of apoptotic cells. To recruit the rare antigen-specific naive T cells, DCs require a maturation step and subsequent transport toward lymph node (LN). To date, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is the best-characterized compound inducing this LN-directed migration in vitro, but PGE2 may skew the immune responses in a TH2 direction. We demonstrate here that on incubation with apoptotic tumor cells and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), human monocyte-derived DCs become fully mature and acquire high migratory capacities toward LN-directing chemokines. The migration of TNF-α-treated DCs occurs only after cotreatment with apoptotic cells but not with necrotic cells. DC migration requires CD36 expression and incubation with apoptotic cells in the presence of heat-labile serum components. Moreover, on treatment with apoptotic cells and LPS, the migrating DCs are able to recruit naive T cells to generate TH1 immune responses. Our results show that the cotreatment of DCs with apoptotic tumor cells and inflammatory signals is promising for the design of an antitumoral DC-based vaccine. (Blood. 2005;106:1734-1741)

Costimulatory Signals

Antigen stimulation of naive T cells in conjunction with strong costimulatory signals elicits the generation of effector and memory populations. Such terminal differentiation transforms naive T cells capable of differentiating along several terminal pathways in response to pertinent environmental cues into cells that have lost developmental plasticity and exhibit heightened responsiveness. Because these cells exhibit little or no need for the strong costimulatory signals required for full activation of naive T cells, it is generally considered memory and effector T cells are released from the capacity to be inactivated. Here, we show that steady-state dendritic cells constitutively presenting an endogenously expressed antigen inactivate fully differentiated memory and effector CD8+ T cells in vivo through deletion and inactivation. These findings indicate that fully differentiated effector and memory T cells exhibit a previously unappreciated level of plasticity and provide insight into how memory and effector T-cell populations may be regulated.

Stimulating Factor

Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) obtained from granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)-mobilized donors are increasingly used for allogeneic transplantation. Despite a 10-fold higher dose of transplanted T cells, acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) does not develop in higher proportion in recipients of PBSC than in recipients of marrow. T cells from G-CSF-treated experimental animals preferentially produce IL-4 and IL-10, cytokines characteristic of Th2 responses, which are associated with diminished GVHD-inducing ability. We hypothesized that G-CSF-mobilized PBSC contain antigen-presenting cells, which prime T-lymphocytes to produce Th2 cytokines. Two distinct lineages of dendritic cells (DC) have been described in humans, DC1 and DC2, according to their ability to induce naive T-cell differentiation to Th1 and Th2 effector cells, respectively. We have used multicolor microfluorometry to enumerate DC1 and DC2 in the peripheral blood of normal donors. G-CSF treatment with 10 to 16 μg/kg per day for 5 days increased peripheral blood DC2 counts from a median of 4.9 × 106/L to 24.8 × 106/L (P = .0009), whereas DC1 counts did not change. Purified DC1, from either untreated or G-CSF treated donors, induced the proliferation of allogeneic naive T cells, but fresh DC2 were poor stimulators. Tumor necrosis factor- (TNF-)-activated DC1 induced allogeneic naive T cells to produce IFN-γ, which is typical of Th1 responses, whereas TNF--activated DC2 induced allogeneic naive T cells to produce IL-4 and IL-10, which are typical of Th2 responses. PBSC transplants contained higher doses of DC2 than marrow transplants (median, 2.4 × 106/kg versus 0.5 × 106/kg) (P = .006), whereas the dose of DC1 was comparable. Thus, it is conceivable that transplantation of G-CSF-stimulated PBSC does not result in overwhelming acute GVHD because the graft contains predominantly Th2-inducing DC. Adoptive transfer of purified DC2 may be exploited to induce immune deviation after transplantation of hematopoietic stem cells or organ allografts.

ABSTRACT Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is the most important agent of serious pediatric respiratory tract disease worldwide. One of the main characteristics of RSV is that it readily reinfects and causes disease throughout life without the need for significant antigenic change. The virus encodes nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) and NS2, which are known to suppress type I interferon (IFN) production and signaling. In the present study, we monitored the maturation of human monocyte-derived myeloid dendritic cells (DC) following inoculation with recombinant RSVs bearing deletions of the NS1 and/or NS2 proteins and expressing enhanced green fluorescent protein. Deletion of the NS1 protein resulted in increased expression of cell surface markers of DC maturation and an increase in the expression of multiple cytokines and chemokines. This effect was enhanced somewhat by further deletion of the NS2 protein, although deletion of NS2 alone did not have a significant effect. The upregulation was largely inhibited by pretreatment with a blocking antibody against the type I IFN receptor, suggesting that suppression of DC maturation by NS1/2 is, at least in part, a result of IFN antagonism mediated by these proteins. Therefore, this study identified another effect of the NS1 and NS2 proteins. The observed suppression of DC maturation may result in decreased antigen presentation and T-lymphocyte activation, leading to incomplete and/or weak immune responses that might contribute to RSV reinfection.
