Project description:Mesenchymal stem-cells (MSCs) are of particular interest for treating immune-related diseases due to their immunosuppressive capacities. Here, we show that Small sized MSCs primed with Hypoxia and Calcium ion (SHC-MSCs) exhibit the enhanced functions regarding stemness and immunomodulation for treating allogeneic conflicts. Compared with naïve cultured human umbilical cord-blood MSCs, SHC-MSCs were resistant to the passage dependent cellular senescence mediated by MCP-1 and p53/p21 cascade and highly secreted the pro-angiogenic and immune-modulatory factors, resulting in suppression of T-cell proliferation. Genome-wide DNA methylome and transcriptome analysis indicate that SHC-MSCs characteristically up-regulated immune-modulation, cell adhesion and cell-cycle related genes. As downstream factors, PLK1, ZNF143, DHRS3, and FOG2 proteins played a key role on the beneficial effects of SHC-MSCs, evidenced by the promoted self-renewal, migration, pro-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and T cell suppression capacities in their-over-expressing MSCs. Importantly, administration of SHC-MSCs or PLK1-over-expressing cells (PLK1-MSCs) significantly reduced the symptoms of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in a humanized mouse model which led to significantly improved survival, less weight loss, and less histopathologic injuries of GVHD target organs compared with naive MSC-infused mice. Collectively, our study suggests that small-sized MSCs primed with hypoxia could advance the therapeutic strategy for the clinical treatment of allogeneic conflicts including GVHD.

Project description:Regulatory T (Treg) cells play an important role in the induction and maintenance of peripheral tolerance. Treg cells also suppress a variety of other immune responses, including anti-tumor and alloimmune responses. We have previously reported that tumor-activated Treg cells express granzyme B and that granzyme B is important for Treg cell-mediated suppression of anti-tumor immune responses (GSE13409). Here, we report that allogeneic mismatch also induces the expression of granzyme B. Granzyme B-deficient mice challenged with fully mismatched allogeneic P815 mastocytoma cells have markedly improved survival compared to WT and other granzyme- or perforin-deficient mice, suggesting an immunoregulatory role for granzyme B in this setting. Treg cells harvested from the tumor environment of P815-challenged mice express granzyme B. Treg cells also express granzyme B in vitro during mixed lymphocyte reactions and in vivo in a mouse model of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). However, in contrast to findings from our previously published tumor model, granzyme B is not required for the suppression of effector T cell (Teff) proliferation in in vitro Treg suppression assays stimulated by either Concanavalin A or allogeneic antigen presenting cells. Additionally, in an ex vivo assay, sort-purified in vivo-activated CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells from mice with active GVHD -- under conditions known to induce granzyme B expression in Treg cells -- suppressed Teff cell proliferation in a granzyme B-independent manner. Adoptive transfer of naive granzyme B-deficient CD4+CD25+ Treg cells into a mouse model of GVHD rescued hosts from lethatlity equivalently to naive wild-type Treg cells. Serum analysis of GVHD-associated cytokine production in these recipients also demonstrated that Treg cells suppressed production of IL-2, IL-4, IL-5, GM-CSF, and IFN-gamma in a granzyme B-independent manner. In order to determine whether the context in which Treg cells are activated alters the intrinsic properties of Treg cells, we used Foxp3 reporter mice to obtain gene expression profiles of CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells purifed from naive resting spleens, spleens from mice with acute GVHD, and from ascites fluid of mice challenged intraperitoneally with allogeneic P815 tumor cells. Unsupervised analyses revealed distinct activation signatures of Treg cells among the 3 experimental groups. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that granzyme B is not required for Treg cell-mediated suppression of GVHD, which is in contrast to what we have previously reported for Treg cell function in the setting of tumor challenge. Cell intrinsic differences could partially account for these differential phenotypes. These data also suggest the therapeutic potential of targeting specific Treg cell suppressive functions in order to segregate GVHD and graft-versus-tumor effector functions. Experiment Overall Design: Six replicates of Naive CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells were purified from resting spleens, five replicates of allogeneic tumor-activated Treg cells and three samples of GVHD-activated Treg cells. Experiment Overall Design: Naive reps 1-3 are controls for the GVHD-activated samples. Experiment Overall Design: Naive reps 4-6 are controls for the Allogeneic tumor-activated samples.

Project description:The majority of allogeneic stem cell transplants are currently undertaken using G-CSF mobilized peripheral blood stem cells. G-CSF has diverse biological effects on a broad range of cells and IL-10 is a key regulator of many of these effects. Using mixed radiation chimeras in which the haematopoietic or non-haematopoietic compartments were wild-type (WT), IL-10–/–, G-CSFR–/– or combinations thereof we demonstrated that the attenuation of alloreactive T cell responses after with G-CSF mobilization required direct signalling of the T cell by both G-CSF and IL-10. IL-10 was generated principally by radio-resistant tissue, and was not required to be produced by T cells. G-CSF mobilization significantly modulated the transcription profile of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells, promoted their expansion in the donor and recipient and their depletion significantly increased graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In contrast, stem cell mobilization with the CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 did not alter the donor T cell’s ability to induce acute GVHD. These studies provide an explanation for the effects of G-CSF on T cell function and demonstrate that IL-10 is required to license regulatory function but T cell production of IL-10 is not itself required for the attenuation GVHD. Although administration of CXCR4 antagonists is an efficient means of stem cell mobilization, this fails to evoke the immunomodulatory effects seen during G-CSF mobilization. These data provide a compelling rationale for considering the immunological benefits of G-CSF in selecting mobilization protocols for allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Project description:Background: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can be acquired from medical waste. MSCs are easily expanded and have multiple functions, including anti-inflammatory effects. We evaluated the effects of human adipose tissue-derived MSCs (AD-MSCs) and umbilical cord tissue-derived MSCs (UC-MSC) in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced mouse model. Methods: Human AD-MSCs and UC-MSCs (1 × 106 cells) were injected intravenously into a 7-day DSS-induced colitis model. The therapeutic effects of cell origin, injection timing, and supernatants obtained from MSC cultures were evaluated. We also analyzed mRNA expression in MSCs, tissues, and intestinal flora. Results: AD-MSCs and UC-MSCs had strong anti-inflammatory effects when injected on day 3 in a mouse model. On day 11, mRNA levels of inflammatory factors in colon tissues were significantly decreased after injection of MSCs on day 3. Supernatants from MSCs culture decreased mRNA levels of tumor necrosis factor (Tnf)-α, but had reduced therapeutic effects compared with MSC cell injection. RNA sequencing using colon tissues obtained the day after cell injection revealed changes in the TNF-α/nuclear factor-κB and T-cell receptor signaling pathways. Additional analyses showed that several factors, including chromosome 10 open reading frame 54, stanniocalcin-1, and TNF receptor superfamily member 11b were increased in MSCs after adding serum from DSS colitis mice. Furthermore, both AD-MSCs and UC-MSCs maintained the balance of intestinal flora. Conclusion: AD-MSCs and UC-MSCs showed therapeutic effects against inflammation after early cell injection while maintaining the intestinal flora. Although supernatants showed therapeutic effects, cell injection was more effective against inflammation.

Project description:CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) are a subpopulation of T cells, which regulate the immune system and enhance immune tolerance after transplantation. Donor-derived Treg prevent the development of lethal acute graft and host disease (GVHD) in murine models of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. It was reported that a single treatment of the agonistic antibody to Death receptor 3 (DR3) in donor mice resulted in the expansion of donor derived Treg and prevented acute GVHD, although the precise role of DR3 signaling in GVHD has not been elucidated. We analyzed the gene expression profile, immune phenotype, and function of DR3-activated Treg in a murine model of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. CD4+Foxp3+ Treg were sorted from the mice stimulated with anti-DR3 or control antibody using fluorescence-activated cell sorter for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays.

Project description:In comparison with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using other sources, umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) offers substantial clinical advantages including a lower incidence and severity of acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) despite the use of allogeneic UCB stem cells with more disparate HLA. However, detailed pathophysiology of acute GVHD developed after UCBT has not yet been clarified. Here, we examined the roles of inflammatory cells in the pathogenesis of acute GVHD following UCBT, by expression profiling of a total of 615 genes in each of 4 subsets (CD4+, CD8+, CD14+, and CD56+) of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), which were taken from 5 patients with hematologic malignancy, in whom acute GVHD had developed after UCBT. By comparing expression profiles measured during acute GVHD with those measured upon discharge (recovery phase), for each subset of PBMCs, we identified immuno-regulatory genes which were assumed to be linked to the pathogenesis of acute GVHD. Keywords: disease state analysis CD4+, CD8+, CD14+, and CD56+ cell subsets were isolated from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of 5 patients with hematologic malignancy, in whom acute GVHD had developed after cord blood transplantation. PBMCs were taken twice â during acute GVHD phase and upon discharge (recovery phase), from each patient. By using a custom-made fibrous oligonucleotide DNA microarray Genopal (Mitsubishi Rayon), we compared expression profiles of 615 unique genes measured during acute GVHD with those measured upon discharge (recovery phase), for each subset of PBMCs.

Project description:Inducible co-stimulator (ICOS) interaction with its ligand (ICOSL) is involved in several T cell effector functions. While blockade of ICOS:ICOSL interaction in chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) seems benefi cial, results for acute GVHD remain controversial. To further elucidate its role in acute GVHD, C57BL / 6 mice were lethally irradiated and reconstituted with allogeneic spleen cells in the absence or presence of ICOSL-blocking mAb. Mice reconstituted with allogeneic spleen cells experienced severe GVHD and died untreated within 6 – 9 days after transplantation. Mice treated with an anti-ICOSL mAb starting from day 3 after transplantation gained weight again and survived for at least additional 12 days, although the treatment was already stopped at day 11 after transplantation. In contrast, the anti-ICOSL treatment starting from day 0 did not prevent GVHD. The diff erence between therapeutic (day 3) and prophylactic (day 0) anti-ICOSL treatment was independent of CD25 + CD4 + regulatory T cells since their depletion did not abrogate the therapeutic eff ect of ICOSL blockade. Microarray analysis revealed IFN- γ and chemokine up-regulation in spleen cells of prophylactically treated mice, emphasizing kinetic dependence of acute GVHD modulation via blockade of ICOS:ICOSL interaction.
