Project description:Innate immune receptors often induce activation of conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) and enhance antigen (cross-)presentation, favouring immune responses. DNGR-1 (CLEC9A), a receptor expressed by type 1 cDCs (cDC1s) and implicated in immune responses to viruses and cancer, recognises F-actin exposed on dead cell remnants and promotes cross-presentation of associated antigens. Here, we show that recruitment of phosphatase SHIP1, a process governed by a single amino acid residue adjacent to the signalling motif of the receptor, partly explains how DNGR-1 fails to trigger cDC1 activation in vitro. Substituting this residue converts DNGR-1 into an activating receptor but decreases induction of cross-presentation of dead cell-associated antigens. Introducing the reverse mutation into the related receptor Dectin-1 impairs its activation capacity while enhancing its ability to promote cross-presentation. These findings reveal a functional trade-off in receptor signalling and suggest that DNGR-1 has evolved to prioritise antigen cross-presentation over cellular activation, possibly to minimise inflammatory responses to dead cells.

Project description:Tumor mutational burden (TMB), usually representing high immunogenicity, could not always predict treatment response of immune checkpoint blockade (ICB). Here, we showed that defective antigen cross-presentation in type 1 conventional dendritic cells (cDC1) was responsible for lacking tumor-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients. Mechanistically, tumor cytosolic CDC37, shuttled via extracellular vesicles (EVs) into the endosomes of intratumor DCs, inhibited antigen cross-presentation by locking antigen binding to HSP90 and precluding their translocation from endosomes to cytoplasm. CDC37 knockdown in tumor cells or inhibiting CDC37/HSP90 interaction in DCs efficiently promoted antigen translocation and enhanced their cross-presentation, which improved ICB therapeutic responses. Clinically, high tumor CDC37 expression was associated with low infiltration of antigen-specific CTLs and poor ICB efficacy in TNBC patients. Therefore, tumor EV-shuttled CDC37 locks antigen/chaperone interaction and impairs antigen cross-presentation in DCs. Moreover, targeting CDC37 is promising to enhance anti-tumor immunity and reverse ICB resistance.

Project description:Increased antigen cross-presentation but impaired cross-priming after activation of PPARγ is mediated by up-regulation of B7H1 Dendritic cells (DCs) are able to take up exogenous antigens and present antigen-derived peptides on MHC class I molecules, a process termed cross-presentation. The mannose receptor (MR), an endocytic receptor expressed on a variety of antigen-presenting cells (APCs), has been demonstrated to target soluble antigens exclusively towards cross-presentation. In this study, we investigated the role of the murine nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ), a ligand-activated transcription factor with immunomodulatory properties, in MR-mediated endocytosis and cross-presentation of the model antigen ovalbumin (OVA). We could demonstrate both in vitro and in vivo that activation of PPARγ resulted in increased MR expression, which in consequence led to enhanced MR-mediated endocytosis and elevated cross-presentation of soluble OVA. Concomitantly, activation of PPARγ in DCs induced up-regulation of the co-inhibitory molecule B7H1, which, despite enhanced cross-presentation, caused an impaired activation of naive OVA-specific CD8+ T cells and the induction of T cell tolerance. These data provide a mechanistic basis for the immunomodulatory action of PPARγ which might open new possibilities in development of therapeutical approaches aimed at the control of excessive immune responses, e.g. in T cell-mediated autoimmunity.

Project description:Cross-presentation of tumor antigens by dendritic cells (DCs) is crucial to prime and (re-) stimulate CD8+ T cells. This process is important in initiating and maintaining an anti-tumor response. Here, we show that tumor presence of conventional type 1 DCs (cDC1), a subtype that excels in cross-presentation, correlates with response to neoadjuvant immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) in melanoma. This led us to hypothesize that patients failing to respond to ICB could benefit from enhanced cross-presentation of tumor antigens. We therefore established a cross-presentation assay to screen over 5,500 compounds for enhancers of DC cross-presentation using induced T cell proliferation as readout. We identified 145 enhancers, including AZD5582, an antagonist of inhibitor of apoptosis proteins (IAPs) cIAP1, cIAP2 and XIAP. AZD5582 treatment led to DC activation of the non-canonical nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB) pathway, enhanced antigen import from endolysosomes into the cytosol and increased expression of genes involved in cross-presentation. Furthermore, it upregulated expression of CD80, CD86, MHC class II, CD70 and secretion of TNF by DCs. This enhanced DC activation and maturation program was observed also in tumor-bearing mice upon AZD5582 treatment, culminating into an increased frequency of systemic tumor antigen-specific CD8+ T cells. Our results merit further exploration of AZD5582 to increase antigen cross-presentation for improving the clinical benefit of ICB in unfavorable patients.
