Our previous studies have demonstrated that secretomes derived from control or methoxypolyethylene glycol mixed lymphocyte alloactivation assays exerted potent immunomodulatory activity that was mediated by microRNAs (miRNA). The immunomodulatory effects of biomanufactured miRNA-based allo-secretome therapeutics (SYN, TA1, IA1 and IA2) were compared to Pan T-cell activators (PHA and anti-CD3/CD28) and lymphocyte alloactivation. The differential effects of these activation strategies on resting peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were assessed via T-cell proliferation, subset analysis and miRNA expression profiles. Mitogen-induced PBMC proliferation (&gt; 85%) significantly exceeded that arising from either allostimulation (~ 30%) or the pro-inflammatory IA1 secretome product (~ 12%). Consequent to stimulation, the ratio of CD4 to CD8 cells of the resting PBMC (CD4:CD8; 1.7 ± 0.1) decreased in the Pan T cell, allrecognition and IA1 activated cells (averages of 1.1 ± 0.2; 1.2 ± 0.1 and 1.0 ± 0.1). These changes arose consequent to the expansion of both CD4<sup>+</sup>CD8<sup>+</sup> and CD4<sup>–</sup>CD8<sup>–</sup> populations as well as the shrinkage of the CD4 subset and the expansion of the CD8 T cells. Importantly, these activation strategies induced vastly different miRNA expression profiles which were associated with significant differences in cellular differentiation and biological function. These findings support the concept that the “differential patterns of miRNA expression” regulate the biologic immune response in a “lock and key” manner. The biomanufacturing of miRNA-enriched secretome biotherapeutics may be a successful therapeutic approach for the systemic treatment of autoimmune diseases (TA1) and cancer (IA1).</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8389,"journal":{"name":"Archivum Immunologiae et Therapiae Experimentalis","volume":"69 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2021-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00005-021-00634-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39566218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Immature dendritic cells (DCs) are considered to promote transplant tolerance and may minimize the risk of graft rejection. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of immunosuppressive agents: rapamycin (Rapa) and cyclosporine A (CsA) on generation of human tolerogenic DCs (tolDCs) and also to evaluate the ability of these cells to induce mechanisms of immune tolerance. tolDCs were generated in the environment of Rapa or CsA. Next, we evaluated the effects of these agents on surface phenotypes (CD11c, MHC II, CD40, CD80, CD83, CD86, CCR7, TLR2, TLR4), cytokine production (IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12p70, TGF-β), phagocytic capacity and resistant to lipopolysaccharide activation of these DCs. Moreover, we assessed ability of such tolDCs to induce T cell activation and apoptosis, Treg differentiation and production of Th1- and Th2-characteristic cytokine profile. Data obtained in this study demonstrate that rapamycin is effective at generating maturation-resistant tolDCs, however, does not change the ability of these cells to induce mechanisms of immune tolerance.

Moreover, 5-FU and D4476 combination therapy induced G2, S and G1 phase arrests and it depleted mRNA of both cell proliferation-related genes and MDR-related genes (<i>ABCG2</i>, <i>cyclin D1</i> and <i>c-myc)</i>.
