Abstract
A major cause of death for lung transplant recipients (LTRs) is the advent of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), which has long plagued the long-term post-transplant prognosis and quality of survival of transplant patients. The intricacy of its pathophysiology and the irreversibility of its illness process present major obstacles to the clinical availability of medications. Immunotherapeutic medications are available, but they only aim to slow down the course of CLAD rather than having any therapeutic impact on the disease's development. For this reason, understanding the pathophysiology of CLAD is essential for both disease prevention and proven treatment. The immunological response in particular, in relation to chronic lung allograft dysfunction, has received a great deal of interest recently. Innate immune cells like natural killer cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, and mononuclear macrophages, as well as adaptive immunity cells like T and B cells, play crucial roles in this process through the release of chemokines and cytokines. The present review delves into changes and processes within the immune microenvironment, with a particular focus on the quantity, subtype, and characteristics of effector immune cells in the peripheral and transplanted lungs after lung transplantation. We incorporate and solidify the documented role of immune cells in the occurrence and development of CLAD with the advancements in recent years.

Cell Mol Life Sci 2022; 79:310. [PMID: 35596891 PMCID: PMC11072982 DOI: 10.1007/s00018-022-04359-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/06/2021] [Revised: 04/25/2022] [Accepted: 05/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/03/2022]
Abstract
The heterogeneity of cancer cells, in part maintained via the expression of multiple isoforms, introduces significant challenges in designing effective therapeutic approaches. In this regard, isoforms of the immune checkpoint HLA-G have been found in most of the tumors analyzed, such as ccRCC, the most common human renal malignancy. In particular, HLA-G∆α1, which is the only HLA-G isoform described that lacks the α1 extracellular domain, has been newly identified in ccRCC and now here in trophoblasts. Using a cellular model expressing HLA-G∆α1, we have uncovered its specific and overlapping functional roles, relative to the main HLA-G isoform, i.e., the full-length HLA-G1. We found that HLA-G∆α1 has several particular features: (i) although possessing the α3 domain, it does not associate with β2-microglobulin; (ii) it may not present peptides to T cells due to absence of the peptide-binding groove; and (iii) it exerts immune-stimulatory activity towards peripheral blood NK and T cells, while all known isoforms of HLA-G are immune-inhibitory checkpoint molecules. Such immune-stimulatory properties of HLA-G∆α1 on the cytotoxic function of peripheral blood NK cells are individual dependent and are not exerted through the interaction with the known HLA-G receptor, ILT2. Importantly, we are faced here with a potential antitumor effect of an HLA-G isoform, opposed to the pro-tumor properties described for all other HLA-G isoforms, which should be taken into account in future therapeutic designs aimed at blocking this immune checkpoint.

Abstract
The human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G is a non-classical HLA class I molecule, which has distinct features to classical HLA-A, -B, -C antigens, such as a low polymorphism, different splice variants, highly restricted, tightly regulated expression and immune modulatory properties. HLA-G expression in tumor cells and virus-infected cells, as well as the release of soluble HLA-G leads to escape from host immune surveillance. Increased knowledge of the link between HLA-G expression, viral infection and disease progression is urgently required, which highlights the possible use of HLA-G as novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for viral infections, but also as therapeutic target. Therefore, this review aims to summarize the expression, regulation, function and impact of HLA-G in the context of different viral infections including virus-associated cancers. The characterization of HLA-G-driven immune escape mechanisms involved in the interactions between host cells and viruses might result in the design of novel immunotherapeutic strategies targeting HLA-G and/or its interaction with its receptors on immune effector cells.

Human Keratinocytes Inhibit CD4 + T-Cell Proliferation through TGFB1 Secretion and Surface Expression of HLA-G1 and PD-L1 Immune Checkpoints. Cells 2021; 10:cells10061438. [PMID: 34201301 PMCID: PMC8227977 DOI: 10.3390/cells10061438] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2021] [Revised: 06/03/2021] [Accepted: 06/04/2021] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Human skin protects the body against infection and injury. This protection involves immune and epithelial cells, but their interactions remain largely unknown. Here, we show that cultured epidermal keratinocytes inhibit allogenic CD4+ T-cell proliferation under both normal and inflammatory conditions. Inhibition occurs through the secretion of soluble factors, including TGFB1 and the cell-surface expression of HLA-G1 and PD-L1 immune checkpoints. For the first time, we here describe the expression of the HLA-G1 protein in healthy human skin and its role in keratinocyte-driven tissue immunomodulation. The overexpression of HLA-G1 with an inducible vector increased the immunosuppressive properties of keratinocytes, opening up perspectives for their use in allogeneic settings for cell therapy.

Abstract
HLA-G immune modulatory genes and molecules are presently being studied by a widespread number of research groups. In the present study, we do not aim to be exhaustive since the number of manuscripts published every year is overwhelming. Instead, our aim is pointing out facts about HLA-G function, polymorphism and pathology that have been confirmed by several different researchers, together with exposing aspects that may have been overlooked or not sufficiently remarked in this productive field of study. On the other hand, we question whether performing mainly studies on HLA-G and disease associations is going to give a clear answer in the future, since 40 years of study of classical HLA molecules association with disease has still given no definite answer on this issue.

Differential gene analysis during the development of obliterative bronchiolitis in a murine orthotopic lung transplantation model: A comprehensive transcriptome-based analysis. PLoS One 2020; 15:e0232884.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) is a known issue during minor histocompatibility antigen (mHA) disparity during lung transplantation. This study evaluated gene expression in a murine orthotropic lung transplantation model using microarray analysis. METHODS Left lungs from C57BL/10(H-2b) donor mice were transplanted into mHA-mismatched C57BL/6(H-2b) recipient mice. Three groups (OB, non-OB, and sham controls) were confirmed pathologically and analyzed. Gene expression changes in the lung grafts were determined by microarray and immunohistochemical staining, and genes were verified by quantitative PCR in the lungs and mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs). RESULTS A total of 1343 genes were upregulated in the OB lungs compared to the sham group. Significant upregulation was observed for genes related to innate, e.g. Tlr2 and CCL3 and adaptive immunity, e.g. H2-ab1 and Il-21. Positive labeling for MHC class II antigen was observed in the bronchial epithelium of OB accompanied with B cells. We found increased Tlr2, Ccl3, H2-ab1, Il-21, Ighg3, Ifng, and Pdcd1 mRNA expression in the OB lung, and increased Il-21, Ighg3, and Pdcd1 expression in the OB LNs. CONCLUSIONS Adaptive and innate immune reactions were involved in OB after lung transplantation, and genetic examination of related genes could be used for detection of OB.
