Abstract Fas, a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF ) receptor superfamily is a critical downregulator of cellular immune responses. Proinflammatory cytokines like interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and TNF-α can induce Fas expression and render hematopoietic progenitor cells susceptible to Fas-induced growth suppression and apoptosis. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1 ) is an essential anti-inflammatory cytokine, thought to play a key role in regulating hematopoiesis. In the present studies we investigated whether TGF-β1 might regulate growth suppression and apoptosis of murine hematopoietic progenitor cells signaled through Fas. In the presence of TNF, activation of Fas almost completely blocked clonogenic growth of lineage-depleted (Lin−) bone marrow (BM) progenitor cells in response to granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF ), CSF-1, or a combination of multiple cytokines. Whereas TGF-β1 alone had no effect or stimulated growth in response to these cytokines, it abrogated Fas-induced growth suppression. Single-cell studies and delayed addition of TGF-β1 showed that the ability of TGF-β1 to inhibit Fas-induced growth suppression was directly mediated on the progenitor cells and not indirect through potentially contaminating accessory cells. Furthermore, TGF-β1 blocked Fas-induced apoptosis of Lin− BM cells, but did not affect Fas-induced apoptosis of thymocytes. TGF-β1 also downregulated the expression of Fas on Lin− BM cells. Thus, TGF-β1 potently and directly inhibits activation-dependent and Fas-mediated growth suppression and apoptosis of murine BM progenitor cells, an effect that appears to be distinct from its ability to induce progenitor cell-cycle arrest. Consequently, TGF-β1 might act to protect hematopoietic progenitor cells from enhanced Fas expression and function associated with proinflammatory responses.

We have recently demonstrated that CD11b−/dullCD11c+ and CD11b+hiCD11c+ dendritic cell (DC) precursor subsets represent two distinct DC differentiation pathways from murine bone marrow lineage-phenotype negative (Lin−)c-kit+ hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) stimulated with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) + stem cell factor (SCF) + tumor necrosis factor  (TNF). We show here that transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) significantly inhibits the generation of these CD11b−/dullCD11c+ and CD11b+hiCD11c+ DC precursors. Phenotypically, this inhibitory effect was accompanied by markedly suppressed expression of Ia and CD86 antigens as well as major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II transactivator (CIITA) and CC-chemokine receptor 7 (CCR7) mRNAs in Lin−c-kit+ HPC cultures stimulated with GM-CSF + SCF + TNF at day 6. TGF-β1 could also suppress mature DC differentiation from CD11b+hiCD11c+ DC precursors, but not the differentiation from CD11b−/dullCD11c+ DC precursors. In the absence of TNF, TGF-β1 markedly suppressed the expression of CIITA and CCR7 mRNAs in GM-CSF + SCF-stimulated Lin−c-kit+ HPCs at either day 6 or day 12 and induced the differentiation solely into monocytes/macrophages as evident in morphology, active phagocytic, and endocytic activities. These cells expressed high levels of F4/80 and E-cadherin antigens, but low or undetectable levels of Ia, CD86, and CD40 molecules. However, upon the stimulation with TNF + GM-CSF, these cells could further differentiate into mature DCs expressing high levels of Ia and E-cadherin, characteristics for Langerhans cells (LCs), and gained the capacity of enhancing allogenic MLR. Taken together, all of these findings suggest that TGF-β1 polarizes murine HPCs to generate LC-like DCs through a monocyte/macrophage differentiation pathway.

Abstract Disruption of stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1/CXCL12 [CXC chemokine ligand 12]) interaction leads to mobilization of stem/progenitor cells from bone marrow to circulation. However, prolonged exposure of CD34+ cells to SDF-1 desensitizes them to SDF-1. So how do cells remain responsive to SDF-1 in vivo when they are continuously exposed to SDF-1? We hypothesized that one or more mechanisms mediated by cytokines exist that could modulate SDF-1 responsiveness of CD34+ cells and the desensitization process. We considered transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) a possible candidate, since TGF-β1 has effects on CD34+ cells and is produced by stromal cells, which provide niches for maintenance and proliferation of stem/progenitor cells. TGF-β1 significantly restored SDF-1–induced chemotaxis and sustained adhesion responses in cord blood CD34+ cells preexposed to SDF-1. Effects of TGF-β1 were dependent on the dose and duration of TGF-β1 pretreatment. Phosphorylation of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (Erk1)/Erk2 was implicated in TGF-β1 modulation of migratory and adhesion responses to SDF-1. Our results indicate that low levels of TGF-β1 can modulate SDF-1 responsiveness of CD34+ cells and thus may facilitate SDF-1–mediated retention and nurturing of stem/progenitor cells in bone marrow.

Abstract Chemokine stromal cell–derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is expressed by bone marrow (BM) stromal cells and plays key roles in BM cell migration. Modulation of its expression could affect the migratory capacity of cells trafficking the BM, such as hematopoietic progenitor and leukemic cells. Transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) is present in the BM environment and constitutes a pivotal molecule controlling BM cell proliferation and differentiation. We used the BM stromal cell line MS-5 as a model to investigate whether SDF-1 expression constitutes a target for TGF-β1 regulation and its functional consequences. We show here that TGF-β1 down-regulates SDF-1 expression, both at the mRNA level, involving a decrease in transcriptional efficiency, and at the protein level, as detected in lysates and supernatants from MS-5 cells. Reduction of SDF-1 in supernatants from TGF-β1–treated MS-5 cells correlated with decreased, SDF-1–dependent, chemotactic, and transendothelial migratory responses of the BM model cell lines NCI-H929 and Mo7e compared with their responses to supernatants from untreated MS-5 cells. In addition, supernatants from TGF-β1–exposed MS-5 cells had substantially lower efficiency in promoting integrin α4β1–mediated adhesion of NCI-H929 and Mo7e cells to soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) and CS-1/fibronectin than their untreated counterparts. Moreover, human cord blood CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells displayed SDF-1–dependent reduced responses in chemotaxis, transendothelial migration, and up-regulation of adhesion to sVCAM-1 when supernatants from TGF-β1–treated MS-5 cells were used compared with supernatants from untreated cells. These data indicate that TGF-β1–controlled reduction in SDF-1 expression influences BM cell migration and adhesion, which could affect the motility of cells trafficking the bone marrow.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are highly specialized antigen-presenting cells that distribute widely in all organs. DCs initiate the primary immune response and activate naive T cells and B cells responsible for the acquired immunity. In this study, CCR7 mRNA was proved to be expressed in DCs and their precursors derived from murine bone marrow-derived hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs), whereas CCR1 mRNA was expressed in both CD11b−/dullCD11c+ and CD11b+hiCD11c+ DC precursors. CCR6 mRNA was not detected in any murine DC populations. In agreement with the chemokine receptor mRNA expression by each population in the DC differentiation pathway, SLC (also termed as MIP-3β), one of the ligands for CCR7, strongly and selectively chemoattracted both CD11b−/dullCD11c+ and CD11b+hiCD11c+ DC precursors (days 6 to 7) and more mature DCs (days 13 to 14). We have recently found that transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), a cytokine that is essential for the appearance of Langerhans cells in the skin, polarizes murine HPCs to generate Langerhans-like cells through monocyte/macrophage differentiation pathway. We observed here that TGF-β1 not only inhibited the expression of CCR7 in DCs and DC precursors derived from HPCs, but also inhibited the migration of these cells in response to SLC. This is the first report describing the chemokine and chemokine receptors responsible for murine DC migration and downregulation of DC migration by TGF-β1.

Smad7 is overexpressed in 50% of human pancreatic cancers. COLO-357 pancreatic cancer cells engineered to overexpress Smad7 are resistant to the actions of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) with respect to growth inhibition and cisplatin-induced apoptosis but not with respect to modulation of gene expression. To delineate the mechanisms underlying these divergent consequences of Smad7 overexpression, we studied the effects of Smad7 on TGF-β1-dependent signaling pathways and cell cycle regulating proteins. TGF-β1 induced the phosphorylation of MAPK, p38 MAPK, and AKT2 irrespective of the levels of Smad7, and inhibitors of these pathways did not alter TGF-β1 actions on cell growth. By contrast, Smad7 overexpression interfered with TGF-β1-mediated attenuation of cyclin A and B levels, inhibition of cdc2 dephosphorylation and CDK2 inactivation, up-regulation of p27, and the maintenance of the retinoblastoma protein (RB) in a hypophosphorylated state. Smad7 also suppressed TGF-β1-mediated inhibition of E2F activity but did not alter TGF-β1-mediated phosphorylation of Smad2, the nuclear translocation of Smad2/3/4, or DNA binding of the Smad2/3/4 complex. Although Smad7 did not associate with the type I TGF-β receptor (TβRI), SB-431542, an inhibitor of the kinase activity of this receptor, blocked TGF-β1-mediated effects on Smad-2 phosphorylation. These findings point toward a novel paradigm whereby Smad7 acts to functionally inactivate RB and de-repress E2F without blocking the activation of TβRI and the nuclear translocation of Smad2/3, thereby allowing for TGF-β1 to exert effects in a cancer cell that is resistant to TGF-β1-mediated growth inhibition.

Human CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells, stringently purified from the peripheral blood of 20 normal donors, showed an impaired survival and clonogenic capacity after exposure to either heat-inactivated human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 1 (strain IIIB) or cross-linked envelope gp120. Cell cycle analysis, performed at different times in serum-free liquid culture, showed an accumulation in G0/G1 in HIV-1- or gp120-treated cells and a progressive increase of cells with subdiploid DNA content, characteristic of apoptosis. In blocking experiments with anti-transforming growth factor (TGF) beta 1 neutralizing serum or TGF-beta 1 oligonucleotides, we demonstrated that the HIV-1- or gp120-mediated suppression of CD34+ cell growth was almost entirely due to an upregulation of endogenous TGF-beta 1 produced by purified hematopoietic progenitors. Moreover, by using a sensitive assay on the CCL64 cell line, increased levels of bioactive TGF-beta 1 were recovered in the culture supernatant of HIV-1/gp120-treated CD34+ cells. Anti-TGF-beta 1 neutralizing serum or TGF-beta 1 oligonucleotides were also effective in inducing a significant increase of the plating efficiency of CD34+ cells, purified from the peripheral blood of three HIV-1-seropositive individuals, suggesting that a similar mechanism may be also operative in vivo. The relevance of these findings to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of HIV-1-related cytopenias is discussed.

Abstract Evidences accumulated that immature dendritic cell (iDC) could inhibit alloantigen-specific T cell responses and prolong the survival time of allografts. However, the tolerogenic properties of these iDCs were often unstable or inconsistent because of in vivo maturation, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulating. Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) has been reported to act as a receptor for LPS and LPS can stimulate iDC to mature DC (mDC) via TLR4 signal transduction pathway. In this study, we investigated the effects of transforming growth factor β1 on murine bone marrow derived DCs. Murine bone marrow cells were cultured with GM-CSF and TGF-β1 to generate TGF-β1 treated DCs (TGFβ-DCs). Compared to iDCs cultured by GM-CSF alone, the TGFβ-DCs had no significant alterations in ultrastructure after LPS stimulation. Surface expression of CD80, CD86, CD40, MHC-II were inhibited by addition of TGF-β1, especially in CD80, CD86 (p<0.05). Furthermore, the iDCs were sensitive to further maturation in response to LPS by showing increased levels of MHC class II, CD80, CD86 and CD40. In marked contrast, TGF-β1 prevented this LPS-mediated maturation and maintained the cells in the immature state, with low levels of surface costimulatory molecules expression. Using BrdU incorporation method, after 96 h mix lymphocyte reaction, TGFβ-DCs had weaker allogeneic stimulating capacity than iDCs. Importantly, LPS stimulating strongly promoted the allostimulatory capacity of iDCs, whereas only slightly affected TGFβ-DCs. TGFβ-DCs also showed decreased IL-12p70 production and impaired NF-κB activation after LPS stimulation. We also found the expression of TLR4 mRNA on TGFβ-DCs was weaker than that on iDCs by RT-PCR. Moreover, the results of flow cytometry revealed the positive expression percentages of TLR4/MD2 complex on iDCs and TGFβ-DCs were (51.8±3.89% vs. 15.7±4.13%, p<0.01) and the mean fluorescence intensities (MFIs) were (2.37±0.26 vs. 1.36±0.17, p<0.05). These results agreed with previous findings that TGFβ-DCs responded weakly to LPS. In summary, TGFβ-DC is resistant to maturation stimulus (LPS) and might have some correlation with the down-modulation of TLR4 expression.

Ceramide, a product of sphingomyelin turnover, is a novel lipid second messenger that mediates important cellular functions including proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. This study demonstrates that the CPP32/Yama protease was activated during apoptosis induced by the membrane-permeable second messenger C2-ceramide in HL-60 cells. We also found that the addition of a specific tetrapeptide inhibitor of CPP32/Yama, Ac-DEVD-CHO, provided an effective protection against ceramide-induced cell death. These results suggested that CPP32/Yama has a central role in ceramide-mediated apoptosis. Furthermore a wide variety of cytokines were examined for their effect on ceramide-induced apoptosis. Only transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) (1 ng/ml) exerted significant prevention of apoptosis induced by C2-ceramide, or by sphingomyelinase (increases intracellular ceramide). Consistently, TGF-β1 abrogated the cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase and the production of the CPP32/Yama active subunit, p17. However, TGF-β1 treatment did not cause growth inhibition or alter the level of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27. It suggests that the preventive effect of TGF-β1 is not mediated by growth arrest. Interestingly, we found that TGF-β1 prevented the C2-ceramide-caused decrease of Bcl-2 protein. We thus propose that TGF-β1 rescues ceramide-induced cell death, possibly by maintaining the constant level of Bcl-2, thereby abolishing CPP32/Yama protease activation.
