Recombinant human lactoferrin activates human dendritic cells via Toll-like receptors-2 and -4

ABSTRACT: Talactoferrin alfa (TLF) is a unique recombinant version of human lactoferrin, an important immunomodulatory protein present in exocrine secretions and in the secondary granules of neutrophils. Talactoferrin has demonstrated anti-cancer activity in preclinical studies and in Phase III clinical trials in patients with Renal Cell Cancer and non-small cell lung cancer. We have shown that TLF induces the maturation of human DCs derived from monocytes, suggesting that the linkage of the innate and adaptive immunity through DC maturation is a key immune function mediated by TLF. In this study we used genome-wide expression analysis to explore the mechanisms by which TLF leads to the functional maturation of DC. We show that GMP level recombinant TLF activates human DCs in a Toll-like receptor (TLR) -2 and -4 dependent manner. Human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from buffy coats of healthy donors. CD14+ cells were isolated from fresh PBMCs by positive immunoselection with magnetic beads. Immature dendritic cells (i-DC) from four donors were generated using granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL-4. On day 6, cells were harvested in order to have iDC or mDC (conventionally matured DC) by addition of Tumor Necrosis Factor (TNF) -alfa and IL-1beta or TLF-DC (Talactoferrin matured DC) adding Food and Drug Administration-approved, GMP level recombinant TLF generated in eukaryotic cells. After 24 hour culture, cells were harvested and analyzed with Illumina arrays.

Project description:IL-17A is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that promotes host defense against infections and contributes to the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases. Dendritic cells (DC) are antigen-presenting cells responsible for adaptive immune responses. Here, we report that IL-17A induces intense remodeling of lipid metabolism in human monocyte-derived DC, as revealed by microarrays analysis. In particular NR1H3/LXR-a and its target genes were significantly upregulated in response to IL-17A. IL-17A induced accumulation of Oil Red O-positive lipid droplets in DC leading to the generation of lipid-laden DC. A lipidomic study established that all the analyzed lipid species, i.e phospholipids, cholesterol, triglycerides, cholesteryl esters were elevated in IL-17A-treated DC. The increased expression of membrane lipid transporters in IL-17A-treated DC as well as their enhanced ability to uptake the fatty acid Bodipy-FL-C16 suggested that lipid uptake was the main mechanism responsible for lipid accumulation in response to IL-17A. IL-17A-induced lipid laden DC were able to stimulate allogeneic T cell proliferation in vitro as efficiently as untreated DC, indicating that IL-17A-treated DC are potently immunogenic. This study, encompassed in the field of immunometabolism, points out for the first time IL-17A as a modulator of lipid metabolism in DC and provides a rationale to delineate the importance of lipid-laden DC in IL-17A-related inflammatory diseases. We used microarrays analysis to understand the impact of IL-17A on human monocyte-derived human dendritic cells. We found overexpression of many genes involved in lipid metabolism in IL-17A-treated dendritic cells compared to untreated dendritic cells.

RNA was extracted from untreated in vitro-generated DC at day 0 (DC, 4 biological replicates ) or DC cultured for 12 days with IL-17A, in the absence or presence of IFN-g (DC-17 and DC-G17, 5 biological replicates)
