To further clarify this issue, we used a model featuring subcutaneous murine colon cancer and analyzed the dynamic changes of phenotype and function of the tumor-associated CD4+ T-cell response. We found that, even at a late stage of tumor growth, the tumor-infiltrating CD4+Foxp3- T cells still expressed effector molecules, inflammatory cytokines and molecules that are expressed at reduced levels in exhausted cells. We used microarrays to examine the gene-expression profiles of different subsets of CD4+ T cells and revealed that the tumor-infiltrating CD4+Foxp3- T cells expressed not only type 1 helper (Th1) cytokines, but also cytolytic granules such as those encoded by Gzmb and Prf1. In contrast to CD4+ regulatory T cells, these cells exclusively co-expressed natural killer receptor markers and cytolytic molecules as shown by flow-cytometry studies. We used an ex vivo killing assay and proved that they could directly suppress CT26 tumor cells through granzyme B and perforin. Finally, we used pathway analysis and ex vivo stimulation to confirm that the CD4+Foxp3- T cells expressed higher levels of IL12rb1 genes and were activated by the IL-12/IL-27 pathway. In conclusion, this work finds that, in late-stage tumors, the tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte population of CD4+ cells harbored a sustained, hyper-maturated Th1 status with cytotoxic function supported by IL-12.</p>","PeriodicalId":13743,"journal":{"name":"International immunology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9976864","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We previously reported the requirement of an AID-dependent decrease of topoisomerase 1 (Top1) for efficient DNA cleavage, but the underlying molecular mechanism has remained elusive. This study focuses on HuR/ELAVL1, a protein that binds to AU-rich elements in RNA. HuR-knockout (KO) CH12 cells derived from murine B lymphoma cells were found to have lower CSR and hypermutation efficiencies due to decreased AID-dependent DNA cleavage levels. The HuR-KO CH12 cells do not show impairment in cell cycles and Myc expression, which have been reported in HuR-reduced spleen B cells. Furthermore, drugs that scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) do not rescue the lower CSR in HuR-KO CH12 cells, meaning that ROS or decreased c-Myc protein amount is not the reason for the deficiencies of CSR and hypermutation in HuR-KO CH12 cells. We show that HuR binds to Top1 mRNA and that complete deletion of HuR abolishes AID-dependent repression of Top1 protein synthesis in CH12 cells. Additionally, reduction of CSR to IgG3 in HuR-KO cells is rescued by knockdown of Top1, indicating that elimination of the AID-dependent Top1 decrease is the cause of the inefficiency of DNA cleavage, CSR and hypermutation in HuR-KO cells. These results show that HuR is required for initiation of antibody diversification and acquired immunity through the regulation of AID-dependent DNA cleavage by repressing Top1 protein synthesis.</p>","PeriodicalId":13743,"journal":{"name":"International immunology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9976559","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We first investigated inflammatory colorectal polyps (ICRPs), which are a canine gastrointestinal disease characterized by the presence of idiopathic chronic inflammation, in Miniature Dachshund (MD) and found 31 missense disease-associated SNPs by whole-exome sequencing. We sequenced them in 10 other dog breeds and found five, PLG, TCOF1, TG, COL9A2 and COL4A4, only in MD. We then investigated two rare and breed-specific missense SNPs (T/T SNPs), PLG: c.477G > T and c.478A>T, and found that ICRPs with the T/T SNP risk alleles showed less intact plasminogen and plasmin activity in the lesions compared to ICRPs without the risk alleles but no differences in serum. Moreover, we show that MMP9, which is an NF-κB target, caused the plasminogen reduction and that intestinal epithelial cells expressing plasminogen molecules were co-localized with epithelial cells expressing MMP9 in normal colons with the risk alleles. Importantly, MMP9 expression in patients with ulcerous colitis or Crohn's disease also co-localized with epithelial cells showing enhanced NF-κB activation and less plasminogen expression. Overall, our zoobiquity experiments showed that MMP9 induces the plasminogen reduction in the intestine, contributing to the development of local inflammation and suggesting the local MMP9-plasminogen axis is a therapeutic target in both dogs and patients.

We here focused on two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with DC, rs16879765 and rs17171229, in secreted frizzled related protein 4 (SFRP4). We investigated the association of SRFP4 with the IL-6 amplifier, which amplifies the production of IL-6, growth factors and chemokines in non-immune cells and aggravates inflammatory diseases via NF-κB enhancement. Knockdown of SFRP4 suppressed activation of the IL-6 amplifier in vitro and in vivo, whereas the overexpression of SFRP4 induced the activation of NF-κB-mediated transcription activity. Mechanistically, SFRP4 induced NF-κB activation by directly binding to molecules of the ubiquitination SFC complex, such as IkBα and βTrCP, followed by IkBα degradation. Furthermore, SFRP4 expression was significantly increased in fibroblasts derived from DC patients bearing the risk alleles. Consistently, fibroblasts with the risk alleles enhanced activation of the IL-6 amplifier.

On the other hand, we have shown that minor antigen-induced rejection is not negligible even when the MHC's impact is mitigated. In organ transplantation, it is known that donor-specific transfusion (DST) can specifically control immune responses to the donor. However, whether DST could control the immune response in iPSC-based transplantation was not clarified. In this study, using a mouse skin transplantation model, we demonstrate that infusion of donor splenocytes can promote allograft tolerance in the MHC-matched but minor antigen-mismatched conditions. When narrowing down the cell types, we found that infusion of isolated splenic B cells was sufficient to control rejection. As a mechanism, the administration of donor B cells induced unresponsiveness but not deletion in recipient T cells, suggesting that the tolerance was induced in the periphery.

Flow cytometric and confocal microscopic analyses of NK cell-surface gp49B and integrins suggested that these novel and classical fibronectin receptors, respectively, co-engage fibronectin immobilized on a culture plate. Biochemical analyses indicated that tyrosine phosphorylation of spleen tyrosine kinase was augmented in gp49B-deficient NK cells upon binding to the immobilized fibronectin. While surface fibronectin-poor YAC-1 cells were evenly sensitive as to natural killing of both gp49B-positive and -negative NK cells, the killing of fibronectin-rich Lewis lung carcinoma cells, but not the FN30-knockout cells, was augmented among gp49B-deficient NK cells.
