Abstract
Introduction The immune mechanisms supporting partial protection from reinfection and disease by the respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) have not been fully characterized. In older adults, symptoms are typically mild but can be serious in patients with comorbidities when the infection extends to the lower respiratory tract. Methods This study formed part of the RESCEU older-adults prospective-cohort study in Northern Europe (2017-2019; NCT03621930) in which a thousand participants were followed over an RSV season. Peripheral-blood samples (taken pre-season, post-season, during illness and convalescence) were analyzed from participants who (i) had a symptomatic acute respiratory tract infection by RSV (RSV-ARTI; N=35) or (ii) asymptomatic RSV infection (RSV-Asymptomatic; N=16). These analyses included evaluations of antibody (Fc-mediated-) functional features and cell-mediated immunity, in which univariate and machine-learning (ML) models were used to explore differences between groups. Results Pre-RSV-season peripheral-blood biomarkers were predictive of symptomatic RSV infection. T-cell data were more predictive than functional antibody data (area under receiver operating characteristic curve [AUROC] for the models were 99% and 76%, respectively). The pre-RSV season T-cell phenotypes which were selected by the ML modelling and which were more frequent in RSV-Asymptomatic group than in the RSV-ARTI group, coincided with prominent phenotypes identified during convalescence from RSV-ARTI (e.g., IFN-γ+, TNF-α+ and CD40L+ for CD4+, and IFN-γ+ and 4-1BB+ for CD8+). Conclusion The evaluation and statistical modelling of numerous immunological parameters over the RSV season suggests a primary role of cellular immunity in preventing symptomatic RSV infections in older adults.

Abstract
CFZ533 (iscalimab) is a nondepleting anti-CD40 antibody intended for inhibition of transplant organ rejection and treatment of autoimmune diseases. In a safety assessment in rhesus monkeys, CFZ533 was administered for 13 weeks up to 150 mg/kg/week subcutaneously. CFZ533 was shown previously to completely inhibit primary and secondary T-cell-dependent antibody responses. CD40 is expressed on B cells, antigen-presenting cells, and endothelial and epithelial cells, but is not expressed on T cells. Here, we demonstrate the complete suppression of germinal center formation in lymphoid organs. CFZ533 was well tolerated and did not cause any dose-limiting toxicity. However, the histological evaluation revealed increased numbers of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the T-cell-rich areas of lymph nodes enlarged in response to observed adenovirus and Cryptosporidium infections which suggest that T-cell immune function was unaffected. Background infections appear as the condition leading to unraveling the differential immunosuppressive effects by CFZ533. The presence of T cells at lymph nodes draining sites of infections corroborates the immunosuppressive mechanism, which is different from calcineurin-inhibiting drugs. Furthermore, CFZ533 did not show any hematological or microscopic evidence of thromboembolic events in rhesus monkeys, which were previously shown to respond with thromboembolism to treatment with anti-CD154 antibodies.

Abstract
Elevated gene expression of the costimulatory receptor Icos is a hallmark of CD8+ tissue-resident memory (Trm) T cells. Here, we examined the contribution of ICOS in Trm cell differentiation. Upon transfer into WT mice, Icos-/- CD8+ T cells exhibited defective Trm generation but produced recirculating memory populations normally. ICOS deficiency or ICOS-L blockade compromised establishment of CD8+ Trm cells but not their maintenance. ICOS ligation during CD8+ T cell priming did not determine Trm induction; rather, effector CD8+ T cells showed reduced Trm differentiation after seeding into Icosl-/- mice. IcosYF/YF CD8+ T cells were compromised in Trm generation, indicating a critical role for PI3K signaling. Modest transcriptional changes in the few Icos-/- Trm cells suggest that ICOS-PI3K signaling primarily enhances the efficiency of CD8+ T cell tissue residency. Thus, local ICOS signaling promotes production of Trm cells, providing insight into the contribution of costimulatory signals in the generation of tissue-resident populations.

Abstract
Neurotropic mouse hepatitis virus (MHV-A59/RSA59) infection in mice induces acute neuroinflammation due to direct neural cell dystrophy, which proceeds with demyelination with or without axonal loss, the pathological hallmarks of human neurological disease, Multiple sclerosis (MS). Recent studies in the RSA59-induced neuroinflammation model of MS showed a protective role of CNS-infiltrating CD4+ T cells compared to their pathogenic role in the autoimmune model. The current study further investigated the molecular nexus between CD4+ T cell-expressed CD40Ligand and microglia/macrophage-expressed CD40 using CD40L-/- mice. Results demonstrate CD40L expression in the CNS is modulated upon RSA59 infection. We show evidence that CD40L-/- mice are more susceptible to RSA59 induced disease due to reduced microglia/macrophage activation and significantly dampened effector CD4+ T recruitment to the CNS on day 10 p.i. Additionally, CD40L-/- mice exhibited severe demyelination mediated by phagocytic microglia/macrophages, axonal loss, and persistent poliomyelitis during chronic infection, indicating CD40-CD40L as host-protective against RSA59-induced demyelination. This suggests a novel target in designing prophylaxis for virus-induced demyelination and axonal degeneration, in contrast to immunosuppression which holds only for autoimmune mechanisms of inflammatory demyelination. MS is primarily considered an autoimmune CNS disease, but its potential viral etiology cannot be ignored. Myelin-specific CD40L+CD4+ T cells migration into the CNS and resultant neuroinflammation is considered pathogenic in autoimmune MS. In contrast, CD40L+CD4+ T infiltration into the MHV-induced inflamed CNS and their interaction with CD40+ microglia/macrophages are shown to be protective in our study. Considering differential etiology but comparable demyelination and axonal loss, immunosuppressive treatments may not necessarily ameliorate MS in all patients. MHV-induced demyelination in this study indicates that the interaction between CD40L on CD4+T cells and CD40 on microglia/macrophage plays an important protective role against MHV-induced chronic progressive demyelination.

Abstract
Exosomes are membrane-bound extracellular vesicles that are produced in the endosomal compartment of most eukaryotic cells. Containing proteins, RNA, and DNA, exosomes mediate intercellular communication between different cell types by transferring their contents and thus are involved in numerous physiological and pathological processes. T cells are an indispensable part of adaptive immunity, and the functions of T cell-derived exosomes have been widely studied. In the more than three decades since the discovery of exosomes, several studies have revealed that T cell-derived exosomes play a novel role in cell-to-cell signaling, especially in inflammatory responses, autoimmunity, and infectious diseases. In this review, we will summarize the function of T cell-derived exosomes and their therapeutic potential.

Abstract
Precise analyses of alloreactive T cell phenotype and function can inform both the nature and intensity of adaptive responses to transplant antigens. However, alloreactive T cells are sparse and difficult to detect, particularly in cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and from hypo-responsive individuals. An assay to identify and phenotype alloreactive cells would be particularly valuable, especially for multi-center clinical trials that often store frozen samples for batch analysis. Herein we demonstrate consistent and reproducible alloreactive T cell detection in cryopreserved PBMC following a short-term mixed lymphocyte reaction (MLR). The inherent background expression levels of activation markers on responder T cells were minimized by including a resting period prior to the assay. Stimulator cells were activated before inclusion in the MLR by addition of CD40L and IL-4. The time frame and markers to identify and phenotype alloreactive T cells following stimulation were optimized using short term co-cultures. We defined subsets of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells co-expressing CD69 and either CD154 or CD137 following allostimulation as alloreactive, and further phenotyped these cells with a variety of surface markers such as PD-1, LAG-3, and TIM-3. This assay may allow for the monitoring of donor-specific T cells in transplant recipients with longitudinally collected and cryopreserved PBMCs and provide a useful tool to identify biomarkers associated with tolerance. These biomarkers may add to mechanistic insights in immune recognition of transplanted tissues and/or cells.

Abstract
CD4+ T cells orchestrate adaptive immune responses through their capacity to recruit and provide help to multiple immune effectors, in addition to exerting direct effector functions. CD4+ T cells are increasingly recognized as playing an essential role in the control of chronic viral infections. In this review, we present recent advances in understanding the nature of CD4+ T cell help provided to antiviral effectors. Drawing from our studies of natural human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) control, we then focus on the role of high-affinity T cell receptor (TCR) clonotypes in mediating antiviral CD4+ T cell responses. Last, we discuss the role of TCR affinity in determining CD4+ T cell differentiation, reviewing the at times divergent studies associating TCR signal strength to the choice of a T helper 1 (Th1) or a T follicular helper (Tfh) cell fate.

Abstract
T cells secrete bioactive extracellular vesicles (EVs), but the potential biological effects of CD4+ T cell EVs are not clear. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of CD4+ T cell-derived EVs on B cell responses and examine their role in antigen-mediated humoral immune responses. In this study, CD4+ T cell EVs are purified from activated CD4+ T cells in vitro. After immunization with the Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) vaccine, CD4+ T cell EVs-treated mice show stronger humoral immune responses, which is indicated by a greater Hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb) level in serum and a greater proportion of plasma cells in bone marrow. In addition, it is found that EVs released from activated CD4+ T cells play an important role in B cell responses in vitro, which significantly promote B cell activation, proliferation, and antibody production. Interestingly, antigen-specific CD4+ T cell EVs are found to be more efficient than control EVs in enhancing B cell responses. Furthermore, it is shown that CD40 ligand (CD40L) is involved in CD4+ T cell EVs-mediated B cell responses. Overall, the results have demonstrated that CD4+ T cell EVs enhance B cell responses and serve as a novel immunomodulator to promote antigen-specific humoral immune responses.

Abstract
The determinants of protective CD8+ memory T cell (CD8+TM) immunity remain incompletely defined and may in fact constitute an evolving agency as aging CD8+TM progressively acquire enhanced rather than impaired recall capacities. Here, we show that old as compared to young antiviral CD8+TM more effectively harness disparate molecular processes (cytokine signaling, trafficking, effector functions, and co-stimulation/inhibition) that in concert confer greater secondary reactivity. The relative reliance on these pathways is contingent on the nature of the secondary challenge (greater for chronic than acute viral infections) and over time, aging CD8+TM re-establish a dependence on the same accessory signals required for effective priming of naïve CD8+T cells in the first place. Thus, our findings reveal a temporal regulation of complementary recall response determinants that is consistent with the recently proposed "rebound model" according to which aging CD8+TM properties are gradually aligned with those of naïve CD8+T cells; our identification of a broadly diversified collection of immunomodulatory targets may further provide a foundation for the potential therapeutic "tuning" of CD8+TM immunity.

Abstract
Exosomes are small membrane vesicles of endocytic origin that are secreted by most cells. They are composed of a lipid bilayer containing transmembrane proteins and enclosing cytosolic proteins and RNA, mediating intercellular communication between different cell types in the body, and thus influencing various physiological and pathological functions of both recipient and parent cells. For their nanolevel structures with a stable nature and various biological functions, studies of exosomes have been the subject of increasing interest in the past few years. It is widely known that different T cell subsets play important roles in cellular and humoral immunity, and their exosomes were also reported to exert similar biological functions. While several groups reported the secretion of exosomes by various T cells, the systematic summary involved in these exosomes are deficient. In this review, we will summarize the structure and functions of exosomes derived from T cells in recent reports, discuss emerging therapeutic opportunities, and consider the associated challenges.

Abstract
The present study investigated whether antigen presentation of the Oct4 and Sox2 peptides by CD154-activated B lymphocytes can enhance the killing effect of CD8+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) on lung stem-like cancer cells (SLCCs). The CTLs were generated using an accelerated co-cultured dendritic cells (DC) (acDC) assay by incubating human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from non-small-cell lung cancer patients with antigen peptides of Oct4 and Sox2 in the presence of several DC-activating agents. CD154+ NIH3T3 cells prepared by CD154 lentiviral transfection were used as feeder layer to activate primary B cells (CD19+) obtained from PBMCs. Activated B cells were co-cultured with CTLs to present antigen peptides of Oct4 and Sox2. CTLs co-cultured with activated B cells were evaluated for the levels of secreted inflammatory cytokines using ELISA. In addition, the killing effect of the CTLs on SLCCs derived from cisplatin-resistant strain of human lung cancer cell line PC9 was evaluated by flow cytometry using CFSE labeling of the target cells. After the acDC assay, the PBMCs exhibited a significant (p<0.01) increase in the population of CD8+/CD3+ cells, indicating successful preparation of CTLs. The primary B cells cultured on the CD154+ NIH3T3 feeder layer resulted in significant (p<0.01) increase in the proportions of population expressing CD80, CD86, or HLA-A, indicating successful activation of the B cells. The co-culture of CTLs with CD154-activated B cells presenting the Oct4 and Sox2 peptides caused significant increase in the levels of secretory inflammatory cytokines and exhibited enhanced killing of the SLCCs derived from cisplatin-resistant PC9 cells. Antigen presentation of the Oct4 and Sox2 peptides by CD154-activated B cells can enhance the killing effect of CTLs towards lung SLCCs.

Increase in Peripheral Blood Intermediate Monocytes is Associated with the Development of Recent-Onset Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus in Children. Int J Biol Sci 2017; 13:209-218. [PMID: 28255273 PMCID: PMC5332875 DOI: 10.7150/ijbs.15659] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2016] [Accepted: 12/05/2016] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Monocytes play important roles in antigen presentation and cytokine production to achieve a proper immune response, and are therefore largely implicated in the development and progression of autoimmune diseases. The aim of this study was to analyze the change in the intermediate (CD14+CD16+) monocyte subset in children with recent-onset type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and its possible association with clinical parameters reflecting islet β-cell dysfunction. Compared with age- and sex-matched healthy controls, intermediate monocytes were expanded in children with T1DM, which was positively associated with hemoglobin A1C and negatively associated with serum insulin and C-peptide. Interestingly, the intermediate monocytes in T1DM patients expressed higher levels of human leukocyte antigen-DR and CD86, suggesting better antigen presentation capability. Further analysis revealed that the frequency of CD45RO+CD4+ memory T cells was increased in the T1DM patients, and the memory T cell content was well correlated with the increase in intermediate monocytes. These results suggest that expanded intermediate monocytes are a predictive factor for the poor residual islet β-cell function in children with recent-onset T1DM.
