Dendritic cell dysfunction independently predicts poor prognosis in acute lymphoblastic leukemia

ABSTRACT: We have used scRNA-seq to evaluate the production and maturation of DC1-6 subsets to be disrupted in children and adults with ALL. While conventional DC1 and DC2 are reduced, cells within all DC subsets in patients have impaired antigen presentation and produce less cytokines needed for initiating T-cell surveillance than their normal counterparts in healthy people. ALL DCs are unable to induce T-cell proliferation. Overexpression of MYC in leukemia cells, in part by abrogating NK surveillance, disrupts DC homeostasis and reduces the ability of DCs to induce T-cell immunity. Importantly, immature, dysfunctional DCs with impaired antigen presentation independently predict poor prognosis in patients with high-risk ALL. Thus, phenotyping DC subsets in bone marrow or peripheral blood at ALL diagnosis or relapse could inform the course of treatment.

Transcription profiling of mouse dendritic subsets in vivo

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) process and present self and foreign antigens to induce tolerance or immunity. In vitro models suggest that induction of immunity is controlled by regulating the presentation of antigen, but little is known about how DCs control antigen presentation in vivo. To examine antigen processing and presentation in vivo we specifically targeted antigens to the two major subsets of DCs using chimeric monoclonal antibodies. Unlike CD8+ DCs that express the cell surface protein CD205, CD8- DCs, which are positive for the 33D1 antigen, are specialized for presentation on MHC class II. This difference in antigen processing is intrinsic to the DC subsets and associated with increased expression of proteins associated with MHC processing. Experiment Overall Design: This study includes data from cell sort purified dendritic cells, B cells and CD4 and CD8 T cells. The genearray was performed to identify the transmembrane molecule recognized by the antibody 33D1. The antibody 33D1 binds specifically to CD8-CD11cHigh DCs in the spleen. Therfore the data set was reduced in this way that all molecules that are expressed either in CD8=CD11cHigh DCs, B cells and T cells were diminished of the CD8+CD11cHigh DC data set. This Genearray was also used to analyze MHC class I and MHC class II associated moelcules as the DC subsets differ in the antigen presentation. Each Series consists of 3 individuall samples

Identification of a DC1 immuno-regulatory module that limits antitumor CD8+ T cell immunity in lung cancer lesions.

Project description:While conventional dendritic cells (DC)1 and DC2 are found in tumors, DC1 were shown to control tumor response to checkpoint blockade in preclinical models and are associated with better overall survival in cancer patients, reflecting their specialized ability to prime CD8+ T cell responses. Paradoxically, DC1 can also be found in tumors that resist checkpoint blockade, suggesting that, like many tumor infiltrating T cells, DC1 functionality may be altered in tumors. To address this question, we performed scRNAseq analyses to characterize DC gene architecture in mouse non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) lesions. To understand the relationship of the resulting transcriptional signatures with antigen uptake and migration, we profiled lung DCs in CCR7-/- mice, or DCs that had taken up (i) GFP from GFP-expressing tumors that had been seeded in the lung, and (ii) fluorescent microbeads that had been applied intranasally.

Myocardial infarction (MI) primes autoreactive T cells through activation of dendritic cells

Project description:DC subsets of the murine healthy heart consisted of IRF8-dependent conventional (c)DC1, IRF4-dependent cDC2 and monocyte-derived DCs. In steady state, cardiac self-antigen α-myosin was presented in heart-draining mediastinal lymph node (mLN) by cDC1s, driving the proliferation of antigen-specific CD4+ TCR-M T cells, and their differentiation into Tregs. Following MI, all DC subsets infiltrated the heart, while only cDCs migrated to the mLN. Here, cDC2s induced TCR-M proliferation and differentiation into IL-17/IFNγ producing effector cells. Thus, cardiac specific autoreactive T cells get activated by mature DCs following myocardial infarction.

Single cell analysis informs efficient reprogramming of human somatic cells to dendritic cells type 1

Project description:Type-1 dendritic cells (DC1s) are critical cellular mediators of anti-tumor immunity, as their ability to prime CD8+ T-cells is crucial for response to checkpoint blockade and adoptive T-cell transfer. Vaccination strategies to harness this unique DC subset for immunotherapy have been limited by their rarity in peripheral blood and lack of homogeneous alternative cell sources. We have previously identified PU.1, IRF8 and BATF3 transcription factors (TF) as sufficient to induce DC1 program in mouse fibroblasts but reprogramming efficiency in human cells was low. Here, we investigated single-cell transcriptional dynamics during human DC1 reprogramming. Human induced DC1s (hiDC1s) generated from embryonic fibroblasts acquire global DC1 transcriptional profile and activate antigen presentation signatures. Interestingly, other DC subsets are not induced at the single cell level. We extracted gene modules associated with successful reprogramming and identified inflammatory signaling and the DC1 reprogramming TF network as key drivers of the process. Combining inflammatory cytokine signaling with TF constitutive overexpression lead to improved reprogramming efficiency by 190-fold. HiDC1s acquire the ability to uptake dead cells, respond to stimuli, secrete inflammatory cytokines and perform antigen presentation. Remarkably, intra-tumoral vaccination in mouse models increased infiltration of antigen-specific CD8+ T-cells, promoted a T-cell cytotoxic profile and conferred protection against tumor growth. Finally, we demonstrated efficient hiDC1 generation from human adult somatic cells including dermal fibroblasts and mesenchymal stem cells with a xeno-free protocol. These findings provide insights into human DC1 specification and reprogramming and represent a platform for generating patient-specific DC1s, a long-sought DC subset for cancer immunotherapy.

Pharmacological Targeting of ALDH1a2 in Dendritic Cells Enhances Antigen Presentation, T Cell Activation and Anti-tumor immunity

Project description:Dendritic cell (DC) vaccines have been proposed as cancer immunotherapies due to their role as crucial antigen-presenting cells that regulate T cell functions. Despite considerable efforts to optimize ex vivo priming of DCs, DC vaccines have rarely been successful, suggesting the presence of unknown inhibitory factors. Here, we examined DC differentiation dynamics and discovered that ALDH1a2-produced retinoic acid (RA) acts as a bottleneck factor, initiating negative feedback to inhibit DC maturation. Removing this inhibition through either genetic knockout or pharmacological blockade using KyA33, an ALDH1a2 inhibitor we developed, significantly enhances DC maturation, phagocytosis, antigen presentation, and T cell activation, in part by downregulating glucose metabolism. KyA33 demonstrates favorable drug-like properties, including low toxicity, high membrane permeability, and low cell efflux rate. Its non-covalent binding to ALDH1A2 was also validated through X-ray crystallography. Importantly, application of KyA33 generates more robust DCs vaccines, promoting anti-tumor immunity through enhancing antigen-specific T cell responses. Our investigation highlights the intricate interplay between retinoid signaling, dendritic cell maturation, and immune metabolism, offering promising avenues for enhancing cancer immunotherapies.

Transcriptome profiles of mouse and human monocyte and dendritic cell subsets (mouse data)

Project description:Dendritic cells (DCs) are critical in mediating immunity to pathogens, vaccines, tumors and tolerance to self. Significant progress has been made in the study of DC subsets in murine models but the translation of these findings to human DC immunobiology has not been fully realized. Murine splenic CD8+ DC and CD103+ DC possess potent antigen cross-presenting capacity. Although recent evidence points to human blood CD141+ DCs as the functional equivalent of CD8+ DC, the precise identity of the human migratory cross-presenting DC has remained elusive. We performed phenotypic and functional analyses to interrogate the DC compartment of human non-lymphoid tissues and identified three distinct subsets: i) CD141high DCs, ii) CD1c DCs and iii) CD14+ DCs. Only CD141high DCs were capable of cross-presenting soluble antigen. Comparative transcriptome analysis of steady state monocyte and DC subsets between mouse and human confirmed conservation between species, aligning the following subsets together: i) human CD141high DCs with mouse CD8+ and CD103+ DCs, ii) human CD1c+ DCs with mouse CD4+ DCs and iii) human CD14+ DC with mouse monocyte subsets. The lack of positive association between human CD1c+ DCs and mouse non-lymphoid tissue CD11b+ DCs highlights heterogeneity and predicts the existence of a monocyte-like cell within the CD11b+ DCs.

scRNA-seq analysis of tumor-infiltrating CD45+ cells from sitagliptin-treated mice

Project description:Dendritic cell (DC)-mediated antigen presentation is essential for the priming and activation of tumor-specific T cells. However, few drugs that specifically manipulate DC functions are available. Here, we observed that DCs initiated a distinct transcriptional program during antigen presentation. We utilized a network-based approach to screen for DC-targeting therapeutics. Sitagliptin, an oral gliptin widely used for type 2 diabetes, was identified as a drug that targets DCs. In mouse models, sitagliptin inhibited tumor growth by enhancing DC-mediated antigen presentation, leading to better T cell activation.
