Abstract
It is known that conventional antigen presentation involves phagocytosis of antigens followed by its internalization in endocytic compartments and presentation of epitopes through MHC class II molecules for CD4 T cells. However, since 1976 a cross-presentation pathway has been studied, in which CD8 T cells are activated via MHC class I with antigens acquired through phagocytosis or endocytosis by dendritic cells (DCs). Among some important molecules involved in the cross-presentation, the C-type lectin receptor of the Dectin-1 cluster (CLECs), particularly the CLEC9A receptor, not only is expressed in dendritic cells but also presents a pivotal role in this context. In special, CLEC12A has been highlighted as a malaria pigment hemozoin (HZ) receptor. During Plasmodium infection, hemozoin crystals defend the parasite against heme toxicity within erythrocytes, as well as the released native HZ elicits pro-inflammatory responses and can induce cross-presentation. Particularly, this crystal can be synthesized from hematin anhydride and mimics the native form, and the gaps generated between the nanocrystal domains during its synthesis allow for substance coupling followed by its coating. Therefore, this study aimed to assess whether synthetic hemozoin (sHz) or hematin anhydride could be a nanocarrier and promote cross-presentation in dendritic cells. Firstly, it was verified that sHz can carry coated and coupled antigens, the compounds can associate to LAMP1-positive vesicles and decrease overall intracellular pH, which can potentially enhance the cross-presentation of ovalbumin and Leishmania infantum antigens. Thus, this study adds important data in the molecular intricacies of antigen presentation by showing not only the sHz immunomodulatory properties but also its potential applications as an antigen carrier.

Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG)35-55 Mannan Conjugate Induces Human T-Cell Tolerance and Can Be Used as a Personalized Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:6092.

Abstract
We have previously performed preclinical studies with the oxidized mannan-conjugated peptide MOG35-55 (OM-MOG35-55) in vivo (EAE mouse model) and in vitro (human peripheral blood) and demonstrated that OM-MOG35-55 suppresses antigen-specific T cell responses associated with autoimmune demyelination. Based on these results, we developed different types of dendritic cells (DCs) from the peripheral blood monocytes of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) or healthy controls presenting OM-MOG35-55 or MOG-35-55 to autologous T cells to investigate the tolerogenic potential of OM-MOG35-55 for its possible use in MS therapy. To this end, monocytes were differentiated into different DC types in the presence of IL-4+GM-CSF ± dexamethasone (DEXA) ± vitamin D3 (VITD3). At the end of their differentiation, the DCs were loaded with peptides and co-cultured with T cells +IL-2 for 4 antigen presentation cycles. The phenotypes of the DC and T cell populations were analyzed using flow cytometry and the secreted cytokines using flow cytometry or ELISA. On day 8, the monocytes had converted into DCs expressing the typical markers of mature or immature phenotypes. Co-culture of T cells with all DC types for 4 antigen presentation cycles resulted in an increase in memory CD4+ T cells compared to memory CD8+ T cells and a suppressive shift in secreted cytokines, mainly due to increased TGF-β1 levels. The best tolerogenic effect was obtained when patient CD4+ T cells were co-cultured with VITD3-DCs presenting OM-MOG35-55, resulting in the highest levels of CD4+PD-1+ T cells and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Τ cells. In conclusion, the tolerance induction protocols presented in this work demonstrate that OM-MOG35-55 could form the basis for the development of personalized therapeutic vaccines or immunomodulatory treatments for MS.

Abstract
Background Propolis exhibits huge potential in the pharmaceutical industry. In the present study, its effects were investigated on dendritic cells (DCs) stimulated with a tumor antigen (MAGE-1) and retinoic acid (RA) and on T lymphocytes to observe a possible differential activation of T lymphocytes, driving preferentially to Th1 or Treg cells. Methods Cell viability, lymphocyte proliferation, gene expression (T-bet and FoxP3), and cytokine production by DCs (TNF-α, IL-10, IL-6 and IL-1β) and lymphocytes (IFN-γ and TGF-β) were analyzed. Results MAGE-1 and RA alone or in combination with propolis inhibited TNF-α production and induced a higher lymphoproliferation compared to control, while MAGE-1 + propolis induced IL-6 production. Propolis in combination with RA induced FoxP3 expression. MAGE-1 induced IFN-γ production while propolis inhibited it, returning to basal levels. RA inhibited TGF-β production, what was counteracted by propolis. Conclusion Propolis affected immunological parameters inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and favoring the regulatory profile, opening perspectives for the control of inflammatory conditions.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells that drive the differentiation of T CD4+ cells into different profiles according to the nature of the antigen or immunomodulator. Propolis is a resinous product made by bees that has numerous pharmacological properties, including an immunomodulatory action. To assess whether propolis can modulate the activation of CD4+ T cells by stimulating DCs with heat-labile enterotoxin B subunit (EtxB) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), we aimed to elucidate the mechanisms affected by propolis in the differential activation of T lymphocytes. Cell viability, lymphocyte proliferation, gene expression (GATA-3 and RORc), and cytokine production (interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-17A) were analyzed. Propolis, EtxB, and LPS induced a higher lymphoproliferation compared with the control. Propolis induced GATA-3 expression and, in combination with EtxB, maintained the baseline levels. Propolis alone or in combination with LPS inhibited RORc expression. EtxB alone and in combination with propolis increased IL-4 production. Propolis in combination with LPS prevented LPS-induced IL-17A production. These results opened perspectives for the study of biological events that may be favored by propolis by promoting Th2 activation or helping in the treatment of inflammatory conditions mediated by Th17 cells.

Abstract
This study investigates the regulatory effect of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC)/myeloid dendritic cells (mDC) imbalance on balance of Th1/Th2 and Th17/Treg in primary immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). A total of 30 untreated ITP patients and 20 healthy controls were recruited. Compared with healthy control, the pDC proportion of ITP patients was significantly reduced (P = 0.004), while the mDC proportion was not significantly changed (P = 0.681), resulting in a decrease in the pDC/mDC ratio (P = 0.001). Additionally, compared with controls, serum levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-12, and IL-23 were increased in ITP patients (P < 0.001), and mRNA levels of IL-12p40, IL-12p35, and IL-23p19 were also increased (P =0.014, P = 0.043, P < 0.001). Compared with the healthy control, the proportion of Th1 and Th17 cells in ITP patients increased (P = 0.001, P = 0.031). Serum levels of interferon gamma (IFN-γ) and IL-17 in ITP patients also increased (P = 0.025, P = 0.005). Furthermore, T-bet and RORγt mRNA levels were increased in peripheral blood of ITP patients (P = 0.018, P < 0.001). Correspondingly, the proportion of Th2 and Treg cells decreased (P = 0.007, P < 0.001), along with a decrease in serum IL-4 and transforming growth factor beta (TGF-β) (P = 0.028, P = 0.042), and an increase in GATA-3 mRNA (P < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in Foxp3 mRNA levels (P = 0.587). Pearson correlation analysis showed that the proportion of total dendritic cells (DCs) was positively correlated with IL-12 (r = 0.526, P = 0.003) and IL-23 (r = 0.501, P = 0.005) in ITP patients. Th1/Th2 ratio, IFN-γ, and IL-12 levels were negatively correlated with platelet counts (r = -0.494, P = 0.009; r = -0.415, P = 0.028; r = -0.492, P = 0.032). However, IL-23 was positively correlated with IL-17 (r = 0.489, P = 0.006) and negatively correlated with platelet count (r = -0.564, P = 0.001). The ratio of IL-6 and Th17 cells was negatively correlated with platelet count (r = -0.443, P = 0.014; r = -0.471, P = 0.011). The imbalance of pDC/mDC and the increase of IL-6, IL-12, and IL-23 lead to the increased differentiation of CD4+ T cells into Th1 and Th17 cells, which might be the important mechanisms underlying the imbalance of Th1/Th2 and Th17/Treg in ITP patients.

Abstract
High-dose cyclophosphamide (CTX) inhibits the immune response. Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen presenting cells (APCs) with a crucial role in initiating immune responses and sustaining immune tolerance. The relative contribution of DCs to immunosuppression induced by high-dose CTX is not well-documented. In this study, we employed the CTX-induced immunosuppressive rat model to examine alterations in DCs. We generated and cultured monocyte-derived immature DCs (imDCs) in vitro and explored their capacity of antigen uptake, T cell priming, cytokine production, and surface marker expression following high-dose CTX. Subsequently, we co-cultured CTX-treated imDCs with Th cells to determine Th cell polarization, and further explored the Toll-like receptor/Myeloid differentiation primary response 88/Mitogen-activated protein kinase (TLR/MyD88/MAPK) pathway. Our results show reduced cell number and surface maker alterations in splenic CD103+ DCs of CTX-treated immunosuppressed rats. In vitro, high-dose CTX weakened the antigen uptake capacity and enhanced the T cell priming capacity of imDCs, in addition to triggering imDC surface marker alterations. TLR, MyD88, and MAPK expression levels, involved in mediating Th cell polarization, were also significantly elevated. Our collective findings indicate that high-dose CTX administration potentiates phenotypic and functional alterations of imDC. Such changes may contribute to the regulation of Th polarization.

In Vivo Irradiation of Mice Induces Activation of Dendritic Cells. Int J Mol Sci 2018; 19:ijms19082391.

Abstract
It is becoming clear that ionizing radiation positively influences certain immune parameters, which opens the possibility for combining radio- and immunotherapies in cancer treatment. The presence of functionally competent dendritic cells (DCs) is crucial in mounting a successful antitumor immune response. While it has been shown that DCs are relatively radioresistant, few and contradictory data are available on how ionizing radiation alters the functional integrity of these cells. Therefore, our objective was to investigate the effect of whole-body irradiation on the function of splenic DCs. C57Bl/6 mice were irradiated with 0.1, 0.25, and 2 Gy X-rays and changes in the phenotype of splenic DCs were compared to unirradiated controls. An increase was seen in DC surface markers influencing DC-T cell interactions. In vivo cytokine production was determined by direct intracellular cytokine staining. Irradiation with 2 Gy induced a 1.6-fold increase in IL-1α production, while the combination of irradiation and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment induced a 3.9-fold increase, indicating a strong synergism between irradiation and LPS stimulation. Interaction of DCs with effector and regulatory T cells was investigated in a mixed lymphocyte reaction. While DCs from control animals induced stronger proliferation of regulatory T cells, DCs from animals irradiated with 2 Gy induced stronger proliferation of effector T cells. Antigen uptake and presentation was investigated by measuring the capacity of DCs to internalize and present ovalbumine (OVA)-derived peptides on their major histocompatibility complex (MHCI) molecules. Irradiation with 2 Gy did not influence antigen uptake or presentation, while low doses stimulated antigen uptake and reduced the level of antigen presentation. In conclusion, high-dose in vivo irradiation induced increased expression of T cell costimulatory markers, enhanced production of proinflammatory cytokines and a stronger stimulation of effector T cell proliferation than that of regulatory T cells. However, it did not influence DC antigen uptake or presentation. On the other hand, low-dose irradiation increased antigen uptake and lowered antigen presentation of DCs, indicating that low- and high-dose irradiation act on different pathways in DCs.
