The mechanisms that regulate the strength and duration of CD8+ cytotoxic T cell activity determine the effectiveness of an antitumor immune response. To better understand the antitumor effects of anti-cytotoxic T lymphocyte–associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) antibody treatment, we analyzed the effect of CTLA-4 signaling on CD8+ T cells in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, cross-linking of CTLA-4 on purified CD8+ T cells caused decreased proliferative responses to anti-CD3 stimulation and rapid loss of activation marker expression. In vivo, blockade of CTLA-4 by neutralizing anti–CTLA-4 mAb greatly enhanced the accumulation, activation, and cytotoxic activity of CD8+ T cells induced by immunization with Ag on dendritic cells (DC). This enhanced response did not require the expression of MHC class II molecules on DC or the presence of CD4+ T cells. These results demonstrate that CTLA-4 blockade is able to directly enhance the proliferation and activation of specific CD8+ T cells, indicating its potential for tumor immunotherapy even in situations in which CD4+ T cell help is limited or absent.

Cd28 Costimulation

Whereas ligation of CD28 is known to provide a critical costimulatory signal for activation of CD4 T cells, the requirement for CD28 as a costimulatory signal during activation of CD8 cells is less well defined. Even less is known about the involvement of CD28 signals during peripheral tolerance induction in CD8 T cells. In this study, comparison of T cell responses from CD28-deficient and CD28 wild-type H-Y–specific T cell receptor transgenic mice reveals that CD8 cells can proliferate, secrete cytokines, and generate cytotoxic T lymphocytes efficiently in the absence of CD28 costimulation in vitro. Surprisingly, using pregnancy as a model to study the H-Y–specific response of maternal T cells in the presence or absence of CD28 costimulation in vivo, it was found that peripheral tolerance does not occur in CD28KO pregnants in contrast to the partial clonal deletion and hyporesponsiveness of remaining T cells observed in CD28WT pregnants. These data demonstrate for the first time that CD28 is critical for tolerance induction of CD8 T cells, contrasting markedly with CD28 independence of in vitro activation, and suggest that the role of CD28/B7 interactions in peripheral tolerance of CD8 T cells may differ significantly from that of CD4 T cells.

Antigen Presenting

Natural killer (NK) cells and CD8 T cells require adhesion molecules for migration, activation, expansion, differentiation, and effector functions. DNAX accessory molecule 1 (DNAM-1), an adhesion molecule belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily, promotes many of these functions in vitro. However, because NK cells and CD8 T cells express multiple adhesion molecules, it is unclear whether DNAM-1 has a unique function or is effectively redundant in vivo. To address this question, we generated mice lacking DNAM-1 and evaluated DNAM-1–deficient CD8 T cell and NK cell function in vitro and in vivo. Our results demonstrate that CD8 T cells require DNAM-1 for co-stimulation when recognizing antigen presented by nonprofessional antigen-presenting cells; in contrast, DNAM-1 is dispensable when dendritic cells present the antigen. Similarly, NK cells require DNAM-1 for the elimination of tumor cells that are comparatively resistant to NK cell–mediated cytotoxicity caused by the paucity of other NK cell–activating ligands. We conclude that DNAM-1 serves to extend the range of target cells that can activate CD8 T cell and NK cells and, hence, may be essential for immunosurveillance against tumors and/or viruses that evade recognition by other activating or accessory molecules.

Abstract Despite numerous therapeutic advances, the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains a challenge, with current 5-year survival rates estimated at 4%. Multiple characteristic elements of GBM contribute to its treatment-resistance, including its low immunogenicity and its highly immunosuppressive microenvironment that can effectively disarm adaptive immune responses. Hence, therapeutic strategies that aim to boost T-lymphocyte mediated responses against GBM are of great therapeutic value. Herein, we present a therapeutic vaccination strategy that promotes the phagocytosis of tumor cells, enhances tumor antigen presentation, and induces a tumor-specific adaptive immune response. This strategy consists of vaccinations with irradiated whole tumor cells (rWTC) pulsed with phagocytic agonists (Mannan-BAM), TLR ligands [LTA, Poly (I:C), and R-848], and anti-CD40 antibody (collectively abbreviated as rWTC-MBTA). We evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of rWTC-MBTA strategy in a mouse syngeneic GL261 orthotopic GBM tumor model. rWTC-MBTA or vehicle control were administered subcutaneously over the right foreleg three days after intracranial injection of GL261 cells. Complete regression (CR) of intracranial tumors was achieved in 70% (7/10) of rWTC-MBTA treated animals while none survived in the control group. Immunophenotyping analyses of peripheral lymph nodes and brain tumors of rWTC-MBTA treated mice demonstrated: (1) increased mature dendritic cells and MHC II+ monocytes; (2) increased effector (CD62L-CD44+) CD4-T and CD8-T cells; (3) increased cytotoxic IFNγ-, TNFα-, and granzyme B-secreting CD4-T and CD8-T cells. Of note, the therapeutic efficacy of rWTC-MBTA disappeared in CD4-T and/or CD8-T lymphocyte depleted mice. Three mice that achieved CR were rechallenged with 50k GL261 cells intracranially 14 months after the last rWTC-MBTA treatment and all rechallenged animals resisted GL261 tumor development, confirming the establishment of long-term immunological memory against GL261 tumor cells. Collectively, our study demonstrated that rWTC-MBTA strategy can effectively activate antigen presenting cells and induce more favorable T-cell signatures in the GBM tumors.
