Innate inflammatory signals induced by various pathogens differentially dictate the IFN-I dependence of CD8 T cells for clonal expansion and memory formation.

Type-I IFNs (IFN-I) provide direct survival signals to T cells during Ag-driven proliferation. Because IFN-I production differs depending on the pathogen, we assessed CD8 T cell requirement for direct IFN-I signals during responses to vaccinia virus (VV), vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV), and Listeria monocytogenes (LM) immunizations in vivo. IFN-I-receptor-deficient (IFN-IR(o)) CD8 T cells expanded 3- to 5-fold less and formed a diminished memory pool compared with wild-type (WT) CD8 T cells in response to VV, VSV, or LM. WT CD8 T cells expanded more robustly in response to LCMV-encoded Ags than to Ags encoded by the other three pathogens, and under these conditions the lack of direct IFN-I signals inhibited their expansion by approximately 100-fold. To test whether the high antigenic-load provided by LCMV caused greater expansion and greater IFN-I dependency, we primed WT and IFN-IR(o) OVA-specific OT-1 CD8 T cells with a fixed-number of OVA-peptide-pulsed dendritic cells along with adjuvant effect provided by LCMV, VV, VSV, or LM. Both WT and IFN-IR(o) OT-1 cells were recruited, proliferated, and differentiated into effectors in all the four cases. However, WT OT-1 cells expanded similarly in all four cases. IFN-IR(o) OT-1 cells expanded approximately 20-fold less than the WT OT-1 CD8 T cells when LCMV was used as adjuvant, whereas their expansion was affected only marginally when VV, VSV, or LM were used as adjuvants. Thus, innate/inflammatory signals induced by different pathogens contribute to CD8 T cell expansion and memory formation via distinct levels of IFN-I dependence.

Costimulation controls diabetes by altering the balance of pathogenic and regulatory T cells.

The development of autoimmune diabetes in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse results from a breakdown in tolerance to pancreatic islet antigens. CD28-B7 and CD40 ligand-CD40 (CD40L-CD40) costimulatory pathways affect the development of disease and are promising therapeutic targets. Indeed, it was shown previously that diabetes fails to develop in NOD-B7-2-/- and NOD-CD40L-/- mice. In this study, we examined the relative role of these 2 costimulatory pathways in the balance of autoimmunity versus regulation in NOD mice. We demonstrate that initiation but not effector function of autoreactive T cells was defective in NOD-B7-2-/- mice. Moreover, the residual proliferation of the autoreactive cells was effectively controlled by CD28-dependent CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Treg's), as depletion of Treg's partially restored proliferation of autoreactive T cells and resulted in diabetes in an adoptive-transfer model. Similarly, disruption of the CD28-B7 pathway and subsequent Treg deletion restored autoimmunity in NOD-CD40L-/- mice. These results demonstrate that development of diabetes is dependent on a balance of pathogenic and regulatory T cells that is controlled by costimulatory signals. Thus, elimination of Treg's results in diabetes even in the absence of costimulation, which suggests a need for alternative strategies for immunotherapeutic approaches.

Role of type III secretion in Edwardsiella tarda virulence.

Edwardsiella tarda is a Gram-negative enteric bacterium affecting both animals and humans. Recently, a type III secretion system (TTSS) was found in Ed. tarda. Such systems are generally used by bacterial pathogens to deliver virulence factors into host cells to subvert normal cell functions. Genome-walking was performed from the eseB and esrB genes (homologues of Salmonella sseB and ssrB, respectively) identified in previous studies, to determine the sequences of the TTSS. Thirty-five ORFs were identified which encode the TTSS apparatus, chaperones, effectors and regulators. Mutants affected in genes representing each category were generated and found to have decreased survival and growth in fish phagocytes. LD(50) values of the mutants were increased by at least 10-fold in comparison to those of the wild-type strain. The adherence and invasion rates of the esrA and esrB mutants were enhanced while those of the other mutants remained similar to the wild-type. The eseC and eseD mutants showed slight autoaggregation in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle Medium, whereas the rest of the mutants failed to autoaggregate. Regulation of the TTSS was found to involve the two-component regulatory system esrA-esrB. This study showed that the TTSS is important for Ed. tarda pathogenesis. An understanding of this system will provide greater insight into the virulence mechanisms of this bacterial pathogen.

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 envelope glycoprotein-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes in simian-human immunodeficiency virus-infected rhesus monkeys.

Because of the importance of the envelope glycoprotein (Env) in determining the pathogenicity of HIV-1 and the importance of the immune response to Env in controlling virus spread, attempts are being made to study HIV-1 Env-directed immunity in primate models. To date HIV-1 Env-specific effector T lymphocyte responses have not been demonstrated in virus-infected nonhuman primates. We have previously reported that cynomolgus monkeys can develop a persistent infection with a chimeric simian-human immunodeficiency virus (SHIV) composed of SIVmac239 carrying the HIV-1 env, tat, rev, and vpu genes. We now demonstrate that SHIV-infection of another macaque species, the rhesus monkey, generates persistent, HIV-1 Env-specific cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses. These CTL are CD8+ and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I-restricted. The induction of CTL was correlated neither to the virus load nor to the MHC class I haplotypes of the monkeys. The SHIV-infected rhesus monkey can, therefore, now be employed for studying effector T lymphocyte recognition of HIV-1 Env.

Ontogeny of intestinal epithelium immune functions: developmental and environmental regulation.

Intestinal mucosa integrates primary digestive functions with immune functions such as pathogen surveillance, antigen transport and induction of mucosal immunity and tolerance. Intestinal adaptive immunity is elicited in organized mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (O-MALT) that is composed of antigen-presenting cells and lymphocytes and achieved by effector cells widely distributed in mucosa (diffuse MALT or D-MALT). Interaction between the intestinal epithelium, the O-MALT and the diffuse MALT plays a critical role in establishing an adequate immune response. In regions associated to O-MALT, lympho-epithelial cross-talks lead to acquisition of a specific epithelial phenotype that contributes to O-MALT organization and functionality. Beyond the expression of several innate immune functions, the intestinal epithelium may directly take up and present antigens due to the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) and MHC-related molecules. A complex genetic program that will be outlined in the present review controls the development of immune functions of the intestinal epithelium. The effect of environmental signals on the modulation of this ontogenetic program during development and neonatal life, from bioactive components of amniotic fluid to lactation and bacterial colonization, will be discussed.

Immunomodulation of host responses to ectoparasite infestation--an overview.

Immune reactivity stimulated by ectoparasites and other arthropods has received increased attention in recent years. It is clear that a broad range of host responses are elicited, and immune effector mechanisms appear to be active in limiting infestation with blood-feeding arthropods. Host immune responsiveness appears to be altered as a consequence of infestation by certain arthropods, and the impact of these alterations on vector-borne pathogen transmission remains to be determined. Successful techniques have been developed by a number of investigators for the artificial induction of resistance to blood-feeding arthropods. These areas are examined in this paper.

The role of cytomegalovirus-encoded homologs of G protein-coupled receptors and chemokines in manipulation of and evasion from the immune system.

Cytomegaloviruses (CMVs) have the ability to persist lifelong within the infected host. This ability implies that these viruses are highly adapted to their hosts. Most importantly, they will have to employ strategies to remain hidden from the host's immune system. Virus genes predicted to be involved in these strategies include genes encoding homologs of cellular immune effector or regulatory proteins, such as chemokine (CK) receptor-like G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), CKs and MHC class I molecules. These genes may have been pirated by the virus during the long co-evolution of pathogen and host. In light of the crucial roles that GPCRs, CKs and MHC class I molecules play in the normal physiology of the host, it is to be expected that the CMV homologs of these proteins may have a profound impact on this physiology and, at the same time, serve vital functions in maintenance as well as replication of the virus within the infected host. As a consequence, these viral homologs can be envisaged as attractive targets for novel anti-viral strategies. The aim of this report is to present an overview of the current state of knowledge on the (putative) functions of the CMV homologs of GPCRs and CKs.

Modulation of host-immune responses by ticks (Acari: Ixodidae): effect of salivary gland extracts on host macrophages and lymphocyte cytokine production.

Ixodid tick infestation induces host acquired resistance, which involves immunoglobulin cell-mediated and complement-dependent effector pathways. Ticks have developed countermeasures to modulate host antiarthropod responses. Ixodid-mediated host immunomodulation results in vitro in reduced responsiveness to T-lymphocyte mitogens for cells obtained from infested hosts and impaired antibody responses to a thymic dependent antigen. Salivary gland extracts from days 0-9 of engorgement from unmated, female Dermacentor andersoni Stiles suppressed lymphocyte proliferative responses (LPS) to the T-cell mitogen Con A up to 68.4%, whereas responsiveness to E. coli LPS was enhanced. Cytokines assessed in this study included interleukin-1, IL-1, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) alpha produced by macrophages, and interleukin-2, IL-2, and gamma interferon (IFN-G) secreted by T-lymphocytes. Salivary gland extracts prepared from tissues obtained on days 0-5 of engorgement suppressed IL-1 elaboration from 89.8% on day 0 through 37.5% on day 6. Levels of TNF were reduced from 40.7 to 94.6% throughout the course of the study. Production of IL-2 was suppressed by 14.1-31.9%, and IFN-G was reduced by 8.7-57.0%. Reduced IL-1 levels during the early phases of feeding indicated reduced host ability to activate T-lymphocytes and provide costimulatory, differentiation, and development signals for B-cells. Both IL-1 and TNF are endogenous pyrogens and activate polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Activities of TNF and IFN-G include antiviral properties and induction of expression of class I and II major histocompatibility complex molecules, which are critical components in the recognition of antigen by T-lymphocytes. The autocrine role of IL-2 in proliferation of T-lymphocytes is central to the development of immune reactivity involving T-cell regulation or effector functions or both. Reductions in cytokine levels would suppress immune responses directed toward immunogens introduced into the host during the course of tick feeding. These results indicates that immunomodulation of the host during tick feeding facilitates engorgement and pathogen transmission.

Lethal GVHD across minor histocompatibility barriers: nature of the effector cells and role of the H-2 complex.

Transfer of T-cells to heavily irradiated, H-2-compatible mice frequently leads to a high incidence of lethal graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). Lymphoid cells depleted of Thy1+ cells fail to cause GVHD. Studies with a variety of different, H-2-compatible, strain-combinations suggest that minor, histocompatibility antigens (minor HA) are the main targets for eliciting lethal GVHD. Experiments in which T-cells are negatively selected to minor HA by acute blood-to-lymph recirculation through irradiated hosts have indicated that the T-cells eliciting GVHD to minor HA, are H-2-restricted. In H-2-compatible hosts, the donor T-cells recognize the minor HA of the host and become temporarily trapped in the lymphoid tissues for 1-2 days; during this stage of negative selection, the donor T-cells entering the lymph are specifically devoid of cells able to elicit GVHD against the host, minor HA on further transfer. When the selection host is H-2-different with respect to the donor T-cells, by contrast, the T-cells ignore the host, minor HA and negative selection fails to occur. The T-cells recirculate normally and are unimpaired in their capacity to elicit GVHD on further transfer. By the use of various H-2-recombinant mice as selection hosts it has been shown that, as for T-cells exerting cell-mediated lympholysis (CML) to minor HA in vitro, the T-cells which elicit lethal GVHD to minor HA comprise two distinct subsets of H-2-restricted cells. One subset recognizes minor HA in the context of H-2K (or K end) molecules whereas the other is specific for minor HA-plus-H-2D. Curiously, in marked contrast to the findings on CML responses in vitro, no evidence has been found that H-2I-restricted T-cells contribute to GVHD, either as effector cells or as helper cells. Purified populations of Lyt 1-2+ T-cells have potent GVHD activity, whereas Lyt 1+2- cells fail to cause GVHD. Studies with various types of bone-marrow chimeras suggest that in the induction phase, T-cells recognize minor HA only on lymphohematopoietic cells. In the effector phase, by contrast, non-marrow-derived cells appear to be the main targets of attack. Although the pathogenesis of GVHD is poorly understood, the lethal form of the disease probably reflects the penetration of mucosal surfaces by pathogenic organisms, perhaps as the result of direct destruction of epithelial cells by minor HA-specific cytotoxic lymphocytes. Direct support for this notion has yet to be obtained.

c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase-mediated signaling is essential for Pseudomonas aeruginosa ExoS-induced apoptosis.

As an opportunistic bacterial pathogen, Pseudomonas aeruginosa mainly affects immunocompromised individuals as well as patients with cystic fibrosis. In a previous study, we showed that ExoS of P. aeruginosa, when injected into host cells through a type III secretion apparatus, functions as an effector molecule to trigger apoptosis in various tissue culture cells. Here, we show that injection of the ExoS into HeLa cells activates c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase (JNK) phosphorylation while shutting down ERK1/2 and p38 phosphorylation. Inhibiting JNK activation by expression of a dominant negative JNK1 or with a specific JNK inhibitor abolishes ExoS-triggered apoptosis, demonstrating the requirement for JNK-mediated signaling. Following JNK phosphorylation, cytochrome c is released into the cytosol, leading to the activation of caspase 9 and eventually caspase 3. Although c-Jun phosphorylation is also observed as a result of JNK activation, ongoing host protein synthesis is not essential for the apoptotic induction, suggesting that c-Jun- or other AP-1-driven activation of gene expression is dispensable in this process. Therefore, ExoS has opposing effects on different cellular pathways that regulate apoptosis: it shuts down host cell survival signal pathways by inhibiting ERK1/2 and p38 activation, and it activates proapoptotic pathways through activation of JNK1/2 leading ultimately to cytochrome c release and activation of caspases. These results highlight the modulation of host cell signaling by the type III secretion system during interaction between P. aeruginosa and host cells.

Altered function in CD8+ T cells following paramyxovirus infection of the respiratory tract.

For many respiratory pathogens, CD8+ T cells have been shown to play a critical role in clearance. However, there are still many unanswered questions with regard to the factors that promote the most efficacious immune response and the potential for immunoregulation of effector cells at the local site of infection. We have used infection of the respiratory tract with the model paramyxovirus simian virus 5 (SV5) to study CD8+ T-cell responses in the lung. For the present study, we report that over time a population of nonresponsive, virus-specific CD8+ T cells emerged in the lung, culminating in a lack of function in approximately 85% of cells specific for the immunodominant epitope from the viral matrix (M) protein by day 40 postinfection. Concurrent with the induction of nonresponsiveness, virus-specific cells that retained function at later times postinfection exhibited an increased requirement for CD8 engagement. This change was coupled with a nearly complete loss of functional phosphoprotein-specific cells, a response previously shown to be almost exclusively CD8 independent. These studies add to the growing evidence for immune dysregulation following viral infection of the respiratory tract.

Transcriptional analysis of multiple sclerosis brain lesions reveals a complex pattern of cytokine expression.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common and severe neurological disorder associated with an autoimmune response directed against myelin components within the CNS. Lymphocyte activation, extravasation, and recruitment, as well as effector function, involves the turning on and off of a number of genes, thus triggering specific transcriptional pathways. The characterization of the transcriptome in MS lesions should provide a better understanding of the mechanisms that generate and sustain the pathogenic immune response in this disease. Here we performed transcriptional profiling of 56 relevant genes in brain specimens from eight MS patients and eight normal controls by kinetic RT-PCR. Results showed a high transcriptional activity for the gene coding for myelin basic protein (MBP); however, it was not differentially expressed in MS samples, suggesting that remyelination is an active process also in the noninflammatory brain. CD4 and HLA-DRalpha transcripts were dramatically increased in MS as compared with controls. This reveals a robust MHC class II up-regulation and suggests that Ag is being presented locally to activated T cells. Although analysis of cytokine and cytokine receptor genes expression showed predominantly increased levels of several Th1 molecules (TGF-ss, RANTES, and macrophage-inflammatory protein (MIP)-1alpha) in MS samples, some Th2 genes (IL-3, IL-5, and IL-6/IL-6R) were found to be up-regulated as well. Similarly, both proinflammatory type (CCR1, CCR5) and immunomodulatory type (CCR4, CCR8) chemokine receptors were differentially expressed in the MS brain. Overall, our data suggest a complex regulation of the inflammatory response in human autoimmune demyelination.

Gamma delta T cell-deficient mice have a down-regulated CD8+ T cell immune response against Encephalitozoon cuniculi infection.

Gamma(delta) T cells have been reported to play an essential effector role during the early immune response against a wide variety of infectious agents. Recent studies have suggested that the gamma(delta) T cell subtype may also be important for the induction of adaptive immune response against certain microbial pathogens. In the present study, an early increase of gamma(delta) T cells during murine infection with Encephalitozoon cuniculi, an intracellular parasite, was observed. The role of gamma(delta) T cells against E. cuniculi infection was further evaluated by using gene-knockout mice. Mice lacking gamma(delta) T cells were susceptible to E. cuniculi infection at high challenge doses. The reduced resistance of delta(-/-) mice was attributed to a down-regulated CD8+ immune response. Compared with parental wild-type animals, suboptimal Ag-specific CD8+ T cell immunity against E. cuniculi infection was noted in delta(-/-) mice. The splenocytes from infected knockout mice exhibited a lower frequency of Ag-specific CD8+ T cells. Moreover, adoptive transfer of immune TCR(alpha)beta+ CD8+ cells from the delta(-/-) mice failed to protect naive CD8(-/-) mice against a lethal E. cuniculi challenge. Our studies suggest that gamma(delta) T cells, due to their ability to produce cytokines, are important for the optimal priming of CD8+ T cell immunity against E. cuniculi infection. This is the first evidence of a parasitic infection in which down-regulation of CD8+ T cell immune response in the absence of gamma(delta) T cells has been demonstrated.

CD94/NKG2A expression is associated with proliferative potential of CD8 T cells during persistent polyoma virus infection.

Memory CD8 T cells comprise a critical component of durable immunity because of their capacity to rapidly proliferate and exert effector activity upon Ag rechallenge. During persistent viral infection, memory CD8 T cells repetitively encounter viral Ag and must maintain a delicate balance between limiting viral replication and minimizing immunopathology. In mice infected by polyoma virus, a natural mouse pathogen that establishes long-term persistent infection, the majority of persistence-phase antiviral CD8 T cells express the inhibitory NK cell receptor CD94/NKG2A. In this study, we asked whether CD94/NKG2A expression is associated with Ag-specific recall of polyoma virus-specific CD8 T cells. During the persistent phase of infection, polyoma virus-specific CD8 T cells that express CD94/NKG2A were found to preferentially proliferate; this proliferation was dependent on cognate Ag both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, CD94/NKG2A(+) polyoma-specific CD8 T cells have a markedly enhanced capacity to produce IL-2 upon ex vivo Ag stimulation compared with CD94/NKG2A(-) polyoma-specific CD8 T cells. Importantly, CD94/NKG2A(+) anti-polyoma virus CD8 T cells appear to be essential for Ag-specific recall responses in mice persistently infected by polyoma virus. Because of its higher proliferative potential and capacity to produce IL-2, we propose that the CD94/NKG2A(+) subpopulation represents a less differentiated state than the CD94/NKG2A(-) subpopulation. Identification of proliferation-competent subpopulations of memory CD8 T cells should prove valuable in designing therapeutic vaccination strategies for persistent viral infections.

[Cellular defence reactions and their depression in insects].

In insects the main cellular defence reactions are phagocytosis and encapsulation of foreign bodies. Free cells of haemolymph called haemocytes are the effectors of these reactions. They are achieved under the control of humoral factors of the plasma or of the serum. Humoral factors are able to enhance or to decrease the cellular defence reactions. As in mammals, potential parasites or pathogens need to avoid or to inhibit the defence reactions before developing inside the insect body. As an example of the depression of immunity induced by a parasite we will study the relationships between an insect and a nematobacterial complex.

In defense of mucosal surfaces. Regulation and manipulation of the mucosal immune system.

The mucosal immune system defends the host against pathogens, most of which invade through mucosal surfaces. Antigen sampling in the mucosal immune system in the intestine occurs constantly in specialized inductive sites known as gut associated lymphoreticular tissue or GALT. Antigen-primed cells then migrate to effector sites in the gut lamina propria and epithelium as well as to other mucosal tissues. A variety of strategies are being pursued to develop effective oral vaccines that will protect mucosal surfaces. Some approaches involve recently identified mucosal adjuvants, the best known of which is cholera toxin. One approach is illustrated in which antigen and adjuvant are incorporated in the inner water phase of a water-in-oil-in-water or multiple emulsion, thus protecting antigen and delivering it into GALT.

TRAIL identifies immature natural killer cells in newborn mice and adult mouse liver.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a key effector molecule expressed by natural killer (NK) cells and has been shown to prevent tumor initiation, growth, and metastasis. Here we demonstrate that TRAIL is the dominant cytotoxic effector molecule expressed by NK cells in fetal mice. On birth and with age, NK cells develop full functional capacity, including the ability to secrete interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) and interleukin 13 (IL-13) and mediate perforin- and Fas ligand-mediated cytotoxicity. However, interestingly, a phenotypically immature TRAIL+ NK cell subpopulation is retained in the liver of adult mice, and its retention is dependent on IFN-gamma but not dependent on host IL-12, IL-18, or endogenous host pathogens. Adoptive transfer of either adult liver or neonatal TRAIL+ NK cells resulted in the appearance of TRAIL- NK cells with a mature phenotype, suggesting that these TRAIL+ NK cells were indeed a precursor. Although inducers of IFN-gamma stimulated TRAIL expression on mature NK cells, our data indicated that constitutive TRAIL expression was a hallmark of immature cytotoxic NK cells. This study is the first to describe the concomitant maturation of NK cell effector function with surface phenotype in vivo and implies an important defense role for NK cell TRAIL in the developing immune system.

Epigenetic and metabolic reprogramming of innate immune cells establishes immunological memory in the Schistosomiasis vector snail Biomphalaria glabrata.

Innate immune memory enables non-vertebrates to mount faster and more effective immune responses upon re-exposure to a previously encountered pathogen, yet its cellular and molecular bases remain poorly understood. The freshwater snail Biomphalaria glabrata, intermediate host of the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni, provides a powerful model to investigate this phenomenon. Here, we show that innate immune memory in B. glabrata is carried by hemocytes and relies on profound metabolic and epigenetic reprogramming initiated during primary infection. Using an integrative multi-omics approach combining transcriptomics, chromatin accessibility profiling, whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and targeted metabolomics, we reveal that the first parasite encounter induces a stable rewiring of hemocyte metabolism and chromatin landscape. This reprogramming primes hemocytes for a massive and rapid transcriptional response upon secondary challenge, characterized by an immune shift toward highly specific humoral effector pathways. Metabolic analyses demonstrate an early switch toward aerobic glycolysis, altered tricarboxylic acid cycle activity and amino acid metabolism, consistent with a Warburg-like metabolic state previously described in vertebrate trained immunity. Notably, metabolic and epigenetic remodeling occurs primarily during the primary infection and remains stable upon secondary exposure, suggesting that immune memory is encoded prior to pathogen re-encounter. Together, our results identify conserved metabolic and epigenetic mechanisms underlying innate immune memory in a non-vertebrate host and provide direct evidence that hemocyte-mediated innate immune memory in B. glabrata shares core features with trained immunity described in vertebrates.
