Both normal mouse bone marrow and cells from T cell-containing colonies grown in vitro from normal bone marrow contain cells which can specifically suppress the development of cytotoxic T lymphocytes capable of recognizing alloantigens on the bone marrow or colony cells. Suppression, as assessed by reduction in cytotoxic activity, is produced by adding bone marrow or colony cells to mixed lymphocyte reactions between lymph node responder cells and irradiated histoincompatible spleen stimulator cells. The cytotoxic activity is reduced if the added bone marrow or colony cells are syngeneic or semisyngeneic to the stimulator cells but not if they are allogeneic. Suppression results from a reduction in the number of cytotoxic lymphocyte precursor cells activated in the cultures. The suppressor cells in bone marrow are radiation sensitive and Thy-1 negative; those in colonies grown from bone marrow are radiation resistant and Thy-1 positive.

In Vivo Differentiation

Murine T lymphocytes sensitized in vitro against either allogeneic lymphocytes or syngeneic hapten-conjugated lymphocytes do differentiate into highly effective cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) (1-3). In vivo immunization of T lymphocytes to the same antigens, however, results in the generation of only marginal cytotoxic activity (1,4,5). Recently we found that the weakness of in vivo generated cytotoxicity is not due to a failure of antigen-induced T-cell sensitization but rather due to suppression of the in vivo differentiation of sensitized CTL precursors into effective CTL(6). In keeping with this finding it was postulated that suppressor cells may regulate the in vivo differentiation of CTL. We now report, that cyclophosphamide-sensitive T cells suppress the in vivo differentiation of antigen-specific CTL. Thus, pretreatment of mice with a single dose of cyclophosphamide (100 mg/kg) converts their state of low responsiveness to a state of high responsiveness.

Abstract Background The role of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in severe tuberculosis patients who suffer from uncontrolled pulmonary inflammation caused by hypervirulent mycobacterial infection remains unclear. Methods This issue was addressed using C57BL/6 mice infected with highly virulent Mycobacterium bovis strain MP287/03. Results CD11b +GR1 int population increased in the bone marrow, blood and lungs during advanced disease. Pulmonary CD11b +GR1 int (Ly6G intLy6C int) cells showed granularity similar to neutrophils and expressed immature myeloid cell markers. These immature neutrophils harbored intracellular bacilli and were preferentially located in the alveoli. T cell suppression occurred concomitantly with CD11b +GR1 int cell accumulation in the lungs. Furthermore, lung and bone-marrow GR1 + cells suppressed both T cell proliferation and IFN-γ production in vitro. Anti-GR1 therapy given when MDSCs infiltrated the lungs prevented expansion and fusion of primary pulmonary lesions and the development of intragranulomatous caseous necrosis, along with increased mouse survival and partial recovery of T cell function. Lung bacterial load was reduced by anti-GR1 treatment, but mycobacteria released from the depleted cells proliferated extracellularly in the alveoli, forming cords and clumps. Conclusions Granulocytic MDSCs massively infiltrate the lungs during infection with hypervirulent mycobacteria, promoting bacterial growth and the development of inflammatory and necrotic lesions, and are promising targets for host-directed therapies.

Abstract The pathogenesis of the anemia associated with malignancy was investigated in a patient with T cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. The plasma clot culture system was used as a measure in vitro of erythropoiesis. The patient's peripheral blood and marrow T lymphocytes obtained both before and after transfusion therapy suppressed erythroid colony formation by normal human bone marrow cells. Pretreatment of the patient's bone marrow T cells by antithymocyte globulin (ATG) and complement reversed this suppression. In addition, pretreatment of the patient's marrow cells with ATG and complement markedly augmented erythropoiesis in vitro. The expression of erythroid activity caused by the selective destruction of the suppressor T lymphocytes in the patient's bone marrow with ATG and the suppression of normal erythropoiesis by the patient's bone marrow and peripheral blood lymphocytes suggest that interaction between the malignant T cell and the erythropoietin-responsive stem cell is important in production of anemia in this patient.

Abstract Abstract 2779 Background: Tumor cells are able to develop immune evasion mechanisms which induce a state of immune tolerance and inactivate tumor-specific T cells. In this context, in some solid tumors it has been demonstrated that a subpopulation of myeloid cells, defined as “myeloid-derived suppressor cells” (MDSCs), plays an important role in inducing T cell tolerance by production of arginase that depletes microenvironment of arginine, an essential aminoacid for T cell function. Since chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients have high levels of immature myeloid cells it is of interest to investigate if these cells have MDSCs phenotype and activity. Aim: The aim of this study was to analyze MDSCs and investigate their involvement in T-cell anergy of CML patients. Methods: MDSCs were analyzed in peripheral blood (PB) of 13 CML patients (at diagnosis and during therapy) and healthy donors (HD; n=20) by cytofluorimetric analysis (CD14+DR- for monocytic MDSCs and CD11b+CD33+CD14-DR- for granulocytic MDSCs). Arginase 1 expression was assessed in PB of HD and CML patient using real time PCR. Purification of granulocytes, monocytes and lymphocytes from PB was performed by a positive magnetic separation kit (EasySep, STEMCELL Technologies). Arginase activity was measured in granulocyte lysates using a colorimetric test after enzymatic activation and arginine hydrolysis. To evaluate the activation of CD3+ T lymphocytes after incubation with phytoemagglutinin, we analyzed at 24, 48, 72 h the following markers: CD69+, CD71+, DR+. Microvesicles were isolated from CML serum at diagnosis (n=5) by sequential ultracentrifugation. Results: CML patients showed high levels of monocytic and granulocytic MDSCs at diagnosis in comparison to HD (63±8 and 83±12,2% respectively in CML vs 4,9±2,1 and 55,8±5,3% respectively in HD; p<0.001) while after 3–6 months of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) therapy MDSC levels returned to normal values. Either in PB and in the purified granulocytes subpopulation, arginase1 expression showed a 30 fold increase in CML at diagnosis (CML vs HD: p<0.01) and decreased after therapy. We also evaluated arginase enzymatic activity in granulocytes and we found it increased in CML patients (n=4) compared to HD (n=5) (p<0.05). CML as well as HD T lymphocytes showed a normal activation in vitro which was significantly lost when they was incubated with CML serum (n=4). In addition, an increase of monocytic MDSCs in vitro was observed after incubation of HD monocytes with CML serum (39±6%; p<0.01) or microvescicles (9,2±1,2%; p<0.05) compared to control serum. Conclusions: Granulocytic and monocytic MDSCs are increased in CML patients at diagnosis and decrease during TKIs treatment. Their levels also correlates with Arginase 1 expression and enzymatic activity in granulocytes. CML serum as well as CML microvesicles increase the percentage of HD monocytic MDSCs. Moreover, CML serum leads to anergy of T lymphocytes, probably by Arginase 1 secretion.

Abstract The effects of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibition on immune effector cells may have significant clinical implications; however, this has not yet been elucidated. The goal of this study was to investigate the immunomodulatory potential of the selective HDAC6 inhibitor ACY241 in combination with a cancer vaccine to enhance the efficacy of antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) and the specific activities against tumor cells. Here, we report the effects of ACY241 treatment on antigen expression, immune activation, proliferation, and functional activities of XBP1 antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (XBP1-CTL). The antigen-specific CTL were generated in vitro by repeated stimulation with novel immunogenic heteroclitic HLA-A2 XBP1 peptides (YISPWILAV, YLFPQLISV), as described previously by our group (Bae et al. Leukemia 2011; Bae et al. Oncoimmunology 2014l; Bae et al. Leukemia 2016). We found that treatment with ACY241 up-regulated key co-stimulatory (CD28, CD40L) and activation (CD38, CD69, CD137) molecules on XBP1-CTL, without inducing expression of co-inhibitory checkpoints (PD1, LAG3, CTLA4, VISTA). In addition, ACY241 increased the frequency of memory CTL subsets and enhanced their anti-tumor activities (cytotoxic activity, Th1-type cytokine production, CTL proliferation) against HLA-A2+ and XBP1+ multiple myeloma, breast cancer, and colon cancer cells. The XBP1-CTL responses were dramatically increased in combination with ACY241, including higher levels of tumor-specific CD107a up-regulation, perforin release, IFN-g/IL-2/TNF-a cytokine production and proliferation of the CD3+CD8+ T cells expressing CD28/CD38 in response to the specific XBP1 peptides. ACY241 also enhanced the expression of various tumor-associated antigens (XBP1, CD138, CS1, BCMA, CD44), MHC class I/II molecules, along with co-stimulatory B7 molecules (CD80, CD86) on HLA-A2+ myeloma (U266), breast cancer (MDA-MB231) and colon cancer (SW480) cell lines. Furthermore, in vitro ACY241 treatment consistently decreased the frequency of immune suppressor cells including myeloid-derived suppressor cells (CD14- CD15+/CD11b+ CD33+/HLA-DRlow) and regulatory T cells (CD25+ FOXP3+/CD3+ CD4+) in peripheral blood or bone marrow mononuclear cells from multiple myeloma patients in a dose-dependent manner. In conclusion, our data demonstrates the immunomodulatory effects of selective HDAC6 inhibition by ACY241 and supports its potential role for improving tumor-specific CTL function and tumor cell recognition when used in combination with antigen-specific cancer vaccine.

Established subcutaneous Moloney sarcomas (MST-1) of large size and long duration were eliminated from syngeneic rats by intravenous infusion of varying numbers of specific syngeneic effector T lymphocytes. Spleen cells from BN rats in which tumor had regressed were cultured in an in vitro mixed lymphocyte tumor cell culture (MLTC) to augment cytotoxicity of effector cells. In the MLTC a T cell subset was expanded in response to MST-1 antigens and transformed into blast elements. With these changes, there was an increase in the W3/25 antigen on the T cell surface, a decrease of W3/13 antigen, and an increase in the number of T cells with Ia antigens. The subset associated with elimination of established tumors was a blast T cell W3/25+, W3/13+, as detected by monoclonal antibodies to rat T antigens. The W3/25+ subset was poorly cytotoxic in vitro for MST-1 and apparently functioned in vivo as an amplifier or helper cell in the tumor-bearing host. The W3/25- population was a melange of cells that included (W3/13+, W3/25-) T cells, null cells, Ig+ cells, and macrophages, and was associated with enhancement of tumor in vivo, suggesting the presence of suppressor cells.

Specific Regulation

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.
