[PMID: 38360636 PMCID: PMC10870674 DOI: 10.1186/s13058-024-01785-x] [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: 11/13/2023] [Accepted: 02/12/2024] [Indexed: 02/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite major therapeutic advances, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) still presents a worth prognosis than hormone receptors-positive breast cancers. One major issue relies in the molecular and mutational heterogeneity of TNBC subtypes that is reinforced by the absence of reliable tumor-antigen that could serve as a specific target to further promote efficient tumor cell recognition and depletion. CD160 is a receptor mainly expressed by NK lymphocytes and presenting two isoforms, namely the GPI-anchored form (CD160-GPI) and the transmembrane isoform (CD160-TM). While CD160-GPI is constitutively expressed on resting cells and involved in the generation of NK cells' cytotoxic activity, CD160-TM is neo-synthesized upon activation and promotes the amplification of NK cells' killing ability. METHODS CD160 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) and flow cytometry on TNBC patient biopsies or cell lines, respectively. Antibody (Ab)-mediated tumor depletion was tested in vitro by performing antibody-dependent cell cytotoxicity (ADCC) and phagocytosis (ADCP) assays, and in vivo on a TNBC mouse model. RESULTS Preliminary data obtained by IHC on TNBC patients' tumor biopsies revealed an unconventional expression of CD160 by TNBC tumor cells. By using a specific but conformation-dependent anti-CD160-TM Ab, we established that CD160-TM, but not CD160-GPI, was expressed by TNBC tumor cells. A conformation-independent anti-CD160-TM mAb (22B12; muIgG2a isotype) was generated and selected according to pre-defined specificity and functional criterions. In vitro functional assays demonstrated that ADCC and ADCP could be induced in the presence of 22B12, resulting in TNBC cell line apoptosis. The ability of 22B12 to exert an in vivo anti-tumor activity was also demonstrated on a TNBC murine model. CONCLUSIONS Our data identify CD160-TM as a tumor marker for TNBC and provide a rational for the use of anti-CD160-TM antibodies as therapeutic tools in this tumor context.

Comprehensively analysis of immunophenotyping signature in triple-negative breast cancer patients based on machine learning. Front Pharmacol 2023; 14:1195864.

Abstract
Immunotherapy is a promising strategy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients, however, the overall survival (OS) of 5-years is still not satisfactory. Hence, developing more valuable prognostic signature is urgently needed for clinical practice. This study established and verified an effective risk model based on machine learning methods through a series of publicly available datasets. Furthermore, the correlation between risk signature and chemotherapy drug sensitivity were also performed. The findings showed that comprehensive immune typing is highly effective and accurate in assessing prognosis of TNBC patients. Analysis showed that IL18R1, BTN3A1, CD160, CD226, IL12B, GNLY and PDCD1LG2 are key genes that may affect immune typing of TNBC patients. The risk signature plays a robust ability in prognosis prediction compared with other clinicopathological features in TNBC patients. In addition, the effect of our constructed risk model on immunotherapy response was superior to TIDE results. Finally, high-risk groups were more sensitive to MR-1220, GSK2110183 and temsirolimus, indicating that risk characteristics could predict drug sensitivity in TNBC patients to a certain extent. This study proposes an immunophenotype-based risk assessment model that provides a more accurate prognostic assessment tool for patients with TNBC and also predicts new potential compounds by performing machine learning algorithms.

Abstract
Despite much progress in improving graft outcome during cardiac transplantation, chronic allograft vasculopathy (CAV) remains an impediment to long-term graft survival. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) emerged as regulators of the immune response. Here, we aimed to examine the miRNA network involved in CAV. miRNA profiling of heart samples obtained from a murine model of CAV and from cardiac-transplanted patients with CAV demonstrated that miR-21 was most significantly expressed and was primarily localized to macrophages. Interestingly, macrophage depletion with clodronate did not significantly prolong allograft survival in mice, while conditional deletion of miR-21 in macrophages or the use of a specific miR-21 antagomir resulted in indefinite cardiac allograft survival and abrogated CAV. The immunophenotype, secretome, ability to phagocytose, migration, and antigen presentation of macrophages were unaffected by miR-21 targeting, while macrophage metabolism was reprogrammed, with a shift toward oxidative phosphorylation in naïve macrophages and with an inhibition of glycolysis in pro-inflammatory macrophages. The aforementioned effects resulted in an increase in M2-like macrophages, which could be reverted by the addition of L-arginine. RNA-seq analysis confirmed alterations in arginase-associated pathways associated with miR-21 antagonism. In conclusion, miR-21 is overexpressed in murine and human CAV, and its targeting delays CAV onset by reprogramming macrophages metabolism.

He W, Zhao J, Liu X, Li S, Mu K, Zhang J, Zhang JA. Associations between CD160 polymorphisms and autoimmune thyroid disease: a case-control study. BMC Endocr Disord 2021; 21:148. [PMID: 34238277 PMCID: PMC8268507 DOI: 10.1186/s12902-021-00810-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2020] [Accepted: 06/28/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent researches suggest that the CD160/HVEM/LIGHT/BTLA signaling pathway may contribute to the pathogeneses of autoimmune diseases, but the relationship between CD160 polymorphisms and autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD) has not been reported yet. This study aimed to evaluate the associations between CD160 polymorphisms and AITD. METHODS A total of 1017 patients with AITD (634 Graves' disease and 383 Hashimoto's thyroiditis) and 856 unrelated healthy controls were recruited into our study. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence interval (95%CI) were calculated through logistic regression analyses. The CD160 SNPs were detected using Hi-SNP high-throughput genotyping. RESULTS There was a statistically significant difference between Graves' disease patients and the control group with respect to both the genotype distribution (P = 0.014) and allele frequency of rs744877 (P = 0.034). A significant association of CD160 rs744877 with AITD was observed before adjusted age and gender under a dominant model (OR = 0.79, 95%CI 0.66-0.95; P = 0.013) and an additive model (OR = 0.77, 95%CI 0.64-0.94, P = 0.008), and was also observed after adjusted age and gender under a dominant model (OR = 0.78, 95%CI 0.65-0.95; P = 0.011) and an additive model (OR = 0.76, 95%CI 0.63-0.93, P = 0.007). A significant association of rs744877 with Graves' disease was observed under an allele model (OR = 0.84, 95%CI 0.71-0.98, P = 0.027), a dominant model (OR = 0.74, 95%CI 0.60-0.91; P = 0.005), and an additive model (OR = 0.72, 95%CI 0.58-0.90, P = 0.004). Multivariate logistic regression analyses suggested that the association remained significant after adjustment for age and gender. However, rs744877 was not related to Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Furthermore, CD160 rs3766526 was not significantly related to either Graves' disease or Hashimoto's thyroiditis. CONCLUSION This is the first identification of the association of CD160 rs744877 with Graves' disease. Our findings add new data to the genetic contribution to Graves' disease susceptibility and support the crucial role of the CD160/HVEM/LIGHT/BTLA pathway in the pathogenesis of Graves' disease.

Abstract
T-cell receptor (TCR)-mediated antigen-specific stimulation is essential for initiating T-cell activation. However, signaling through the TCR alone is not sufficient for inducing an effective response. In addition to TCR-mediated signaling, signaling through antigen-independent co-stimulatory or co-inhibitory receptors is critically important not only for the full activation and functional differentiation of T cells but also for the termination and suppression of T-cell responses. Many studies have investigated the signaling pathways underlying the function of each molecular component. Co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory receptors have no kinase activity, but their cytoplasmic region contains unique functional motifs and potential phosphorylation sites. Engagement of co-stimulatory receptors leads to recruitment of specific binding partners, such as adaptor molecules, kinases, and phosphatases, via recognition of a specific motif. Consequently, each co-stimulatory receptor transduces a unique pattern of signaling pathways. This review focuses on our current understanding of the intracellular signaling pathways provided by co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules, including B7:CD28 family members, immunoglobulin, and members of the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily.

Abstract
CD8+ T cells are key players during infection with the malaria parasite Plasmodium berghei ANKA (PbA). While they cannot provide protection against blood-stage parasites, they can cause immunopathology, thus leading to the severe manifestation of cerebral malaria. Hence, the tight control of CD8+ T cell function is key in order to prevent fatal outcomes. One major mechanism to control CD8+ T cell activation, proliferation and effector function is the integration of co-inhibitory and co-stimulatory signals. In this study, we show that one such pathway, the HVEM-CD160 axis, significantly impacts CD8+ T cell regulation and thereby the incidence of cerebral malaria. Here, we show that the co-stimulatory molecule HVEM is indeed required to maintain CD8+ T effector populations during infection. Additionally, by generating a CD160-/- mouse line, we observe that the HVEM ligand CD160 counterbalances stimulatory signals in highly activated and cytotoxic CD8+ T effector cells, thereby restricting immunopathology. Importantly, CD160 is also induced on cytotoxic CD8+ T cells during acute Plasmodium falciparum malaria in humans. In conclusion, CD160 is specifically expressed on highly activated CD8+ T effector cells that are harmful during the blood-stage of malaria.

Abstract
CD160 promotes NK cell cytotoxicity and IFN-γ production, but the function of CD160 on CD8+ T cells remains unclear with some studies supporting a coinhibitory role and others a costimulatory role. In this study, we demonstrate that CD160 has a costimulatory role in promoting CD8+ T cell effector functions needed for optimal clearance of oral Listeria monocytogenes infection. CD160-/- mice did not clear oral L. monocytogenes as efficiently as wild type (WT) littermates. WT RAG-/- and CD160-/- RAG-/- mice similarly cleared L. monocytogenes, indicating that CD160 on NK cells does not contribute to impaired L. monocytogenes clearance. Defective L. monocytogenes clearance is due to compromised intraepithelial lymphocytes and CD8+ T cell functions. There was a reduction in the frequencies of granzyme B-expressing intraepithelial lymphocytes in L. monocytogenes-infected CD160-/- mice as compared with WT littermate controls. Similarly, the frequencies of granzyme B-expressing splenic CD8+ T cells and IFN-γ and TNF-α double-producer CD8+ T cells were significantly reduced in L. monocytogenes-infected CD160-/- mice compared with WT littermates. Adoptive transfer studies showed that RAG-/- recipients receiving CD160-/- CD8+ T cells had a higher mortality, exhibited more weight loss, and had a higher bacterial burden compared with RAG-/- recipients receiving WT CD8+ T cells. These findings demonstrate that CD160 provides costimulatory signals to CD8+ T cells needed for optimal CD8+ T cell responses and protective immunity during an acute mucosal bacterial infection.

Associations between HVEM/LIGHT/BTLA/CD160 polymorphisms and the occurrence of antibody-mediate rejection in renal transplant recipients. Oncotarget 2017; 8:100079-100094.

Abstract
Antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR) is a serious complications that can occur following renal transplantation. The production of donor-specific antibodies by the humoral immune response can trigger costimulatory signals, which are crucial in activating immune cells, and therefore, playing a potential role in ABMR. To investigate the role of HVEM/LIGHT/BTLA/CD160 polymorphisms in ABMR, we retrospectively analyzed 200 renal transplant recipients. We adopted next-generation sequencing (NGS) to identify HVEM/LIGHT/BTLA/CD160 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the genotypes of these patients. We divided the patients into two groups: those with ABMR and those who were stable. We adopted multiple models and performed regression analysis after adjusting for multiple confounding variables, to determine the correlation between the SNPs and ABMR. We obtained 41 high-quality SNPs readouts. However, we did not observe any significant association between these polymorphisms and the pathogenesis of ABMR in any of the models.Nevertheless, since there is evidence suggesting the involvement of costimulatory signals in graft rejection, further research should be conducted to better understand how genetic polymorphisms may be involved in ABMR.

Abstract
CD160 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It exhibits a pattern of expression coincident in humans and mice that is mainly restricted to cytotoxic cells and to all intestinal intraepithelial T lymphocytes. B- and T-lymphocyte attenuator (BTLA) and CD160 interact with cysteine-rich domain 1 of the extracellular region of Herpesvirus entry mediator (HVEM). CD160 engagement by HVEM can deliver inhibitory signals to a small subset of human CD4 T cells and attenuate its proliferation and cytokine secretion, but can also costimulate natural killer cells or intraepithelial lymphocytes. In turn, CD160 and BTLA can also function as agonist ligands being capable of costimulating T cells through membrane HVEM. Based on the restricted pattern of CD160 expression in cytotoxic cells, we postulated that CD160 may represent a suitable target for immune intervention in the setting of transplantation to modulate allogeneic cytotoxic responses. We demonstrated that in vivo administration of anti-CD160 antibody in combination with anti-CD40 L antibody to limit CD4 T-cell help modulated cytotoxic responses in a major histocompatibility complex class I mismatched model of allogeneic skin graft transplantation (bm1 donor to C57BL/6 recipient) and significantly prolonged graft survival. The implementation of this strategy in transplantation may reinforce current immunosuppression protocols and contribute to a better control of CD8 T-cell responses.

Abstract
Alloantigen-specific T-cell triggered immunopathological events are responsible for rapid allograft rejection. The co-signaling pathways orchestrated by co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules are critical for optimal T-cell effector function. Therefore, selective blockade of pathways that control T-cell immunity may offer an attractive therapeutic strategy to manipulate cell mediated allogenic responses. For example, CD28, CTLA-4 and CD154 receptor blockade have proven beneficial in maintaining T-cell tolerance against transplanted organs in experimental animal models as well as in clinical trials. Conversely, induction of co-inhibitory molecules may result in suppressed effector function. There are several other potential molecules that are known to induce immune tolerance are currently under consideration for clinical studies. In this review, we provide a comprehensive and updated analysis of co-stimulatory and co-inhibitory molecules, their therapeutic potential to prevent graft rejection, and to further improve their long-term survival.

Abstract
Natural killer (NK) cell receptors (NKRs) play a crucial role in the homeostasis of antigen-experienced T cells. Indeed, prolonged antigen stimulation may induce changes in the receptor repertoire of T cells to a profile that features NKRs. Chronic antigen exposure, at the same time, has been shown to trigger the loss of costimulatory CD28 molecules with recently reported intensified antigen thresholds of antigen-experienced CD8(+) T cells. In transplantation, NKRs have been shown to assist allograft rejection in a CD28-independent fashion. We discuss here a role for CD28-negative T cells that have acquired the competency of the NKR machinery, potentially promoting allorecognition either through T cell receptor (TCR) crossreactivity or independently from TCR recognition. Collectively, NKRs can bring about innate-like T cells by providing alternative costimulatory pathways that gain relevance in chronic inflammation, potentially leading to resistance to CD28-targeting immunosuppressants.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Stimulatory and inhibitory receptor signaling (cosignaling) on T cells is a critical component of T-cell responses that mediate graft rejection. The blockade of cosignaling pathways is an attractive strategy for preventing allogeneic T-cell responses. Here, we review the new studies that provide critical insight into the well studied CD28-CTLA-4 and CD40-CD40L cosignaling pathways, as well as the identification of novel cosignaling receptors that play a role in allogeneic T-cell responses. RECENT FINDINGS Recently, it has been appreciated that the CD28-CTLA-4 pathway has unique roles on specific T-cell subsets, particularly on forkhead box P3 (FoxP3)+ regulatory T cell (Treg) and T helper 17 (Th17) cells. New insight has been provided into the mechanism by which CD40-CD154 blockade elicits FoxP3+ Treg conversion and memory T cells elicit CD40-independent alloantibody responses. Finally, several novel cosignaling pathways have been demonstrated to be important to graft-specific T cells, including CD160, signaling lymphocytic activation molecule family member 2B4, T-cell Ig mucin 4, and the Notch receptor. SUMMARY Recent work has provided more granular understanding of the CD28-CTLA-4 and CD40-CD154 pathways on T-cell subsets, and provided important insight into the generation and maintenance of FoxP3+ Treg. This information, as well as the characterization of novel transplantation-relevant cosignaling pathways, has implications for the modulation of alloreactive T-cell responses.

Interleukin-22 and CD160 play additive roles in the host mucosal response to Clostridium difficile infection in mice. Immunology 2015; 144:587-97.

Abstract
Our previous work has shown the significant up-regulation of Il22 and increased phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) as part of the mucosal inflammatory response to Clostridium difficile infection in mice. Others have shown that phosphorylation of STAT3 at mucosal surfaces includes interleukin-22 (IL-22) and CD160-mediated components. The current study sought to determine the potential role(s) of IL-22 and/or CD160 in the mucosal response to C. difficile infection. Clostridium difficile-infected mice treated with anti-IL-22, anti-CD160 or a combination of the two showed significantly reduced STAT3 phosphorylation in comparison to C. difficile-infected mice that had not received either antibody. In addition, C. difficile-infected mice treated with anti-IL-22/CD160 induced a smaller set of genes, and at significantly lower levels than the untreated C. difficile-infected mice. The affected genes included pro-inflammatory chemokines and cytokines, and anti-microbial peptides. Furthermore, histopathological and flow cytometric assessments both showed a significantly reduced influx of neutrophils in C. difficile-infected mice treated with anti-IL-22/CD160. These data demonstrate that IL-22 and CD160 are together responsible for a significant fraction of the colonic STAT3 phosphorylation in C. difficile infection. They also underscore the additive effects of IL-22 and CD160 in mediating both the pro-inflammatory and pro-survival aspects of the host mucosal response in this infection.

Abstract
Tu et al. generated a novel CD160-deficient mouse and showed impaired NK cell–mediated tumor elimination and IFN-γ production. CD160+ NK cells are functionally distinct in secretion of IFN-γ from their CD160− NK cell counterparts. NK-derived cytokines play important roles for natural killer (NK) function, but how the cytokines are regulated is poorly understood. CD160 is expressed on activated NK or T cells in humans but its function is unknown. We generated CD160-deficient mice to probe its function. Although CD160−/− mice showed no abnormalities in lymphocyte development, the control of NK-sensitive tumors was severely compromised in CD160−/− mice. Surprisingly, the cytotoxicity of NK cells was not impaired, but interferon-γ (IFN-γ) secretion by NK cells was markedly reduced in CD160−/− mice. Functionally targeting CD160 signaling with a soluble CD160-Ig also impaired tumor control and IFN-γ production, suggesting an active role of CD160 signaling. Using reciprocal bone marrow transfer and cell culture, we have identified the intrinsic role of CD160 on NK cells, as well as its receptor on non-NK cells, for regulating cytokine production. To demonstrate sufficiency of the CD160+ NK cell subset in controlling NK-dependent tumor growth, intratumoral transfer of the CD160+ NK fraction led to tumor regression in CD160−/− tumor-bearing mice, indicating demonstrable therapeutic potential for controlling early tumors. Therefore, CD160 is not only an important biomarker but also functionally controls cytokine production by NK cells.

Soluble co-signaling molecules predict long-term graft outcome in kidney-transplanted patients. PLoS One 2014; 9:e113396.

Abstract
Co-signaling molecules are responsible for full T-cell activation after solid organ transplantation. Their increased expression can lead to the release of a soluble form that can modulate the immune response post-transplantation. We analyzed the presence of co-signaling molecules (sCD30, sCD40, sCD137, sCTLA-4, sCD80, sCD28, sCD40L, sPD-1, and sPD-L1) in serum from kidney-transplanted patients (n = 59) obtained at different times (before transplantation, and 15 days, 3 months and 1 year post-transplantation) and their contribution to graft outcome was evaluated using principal component analysis. Before transplantation, high levels of soluble co-signaling molecules (mainly sCD30, sCD137 and sCD40) were detected in all patients. These molecules were modulated soon after receiving an allograft but never attained similar levels to those of healthy controls. A signature based on the determination of six soluble co-stimulatory (sCD30, sCD40, sCD137 and sCD40L) and co-inhibitory (sPD-1 and sPD-L1) molecules at 3 months post-transplantation allowed a group of patients to be identified (27.12%) with a worse long-term graft outcome. Patients with high levels of soluble molecules showed a progressive and gradual deterioration of kidney function (increased creatinine and proteinuria levels and decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate) over time and a higher risk of graft loss at 6 years post-transplantation than patients with low levels of these molecules (62.55% versus 5.14%, p<0.001). Thus, our data show an aberrant expression of soluble co-signaling molecules in kidney-transplanted patients whose quantification at 3 months post-transplantation might be a useful biomarker of immune status and help to predict long-term graft evolution.
