The multifunctional roles of autophagy in the innate immune response: Implications for regulation of transplantation rejection. Front Cell Dev Biol 2022; 10:1007559. [PMID: 36619861 PMCID: PMC9810636 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2022.1007559] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/30/2022] [Accepted: 11/04/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Organ transplantation is the main treatment for end-stage organ failure, which has rescued tens of thousands of lives. Immune rejection is the main factor affecting the survival of transplanted organs. How to suppress immune rejection is an important goal of transplantation research. A graft first triggers innate immune responses, leading to graft inflammation, tissue injury and cell death, followed by adaptive immune activation. At present, the importance of innate immunity in graft rejection is poorly understood. Autophagy, an evolutionarily conserved intracellular degradation system, is proven to be involved in regulating innate immune response following graft transplants. Moreover, there is evidence indicating that autophagy can regulate graft dysfunction. Although the specific mechanism by which autophagy affects graft rejection remains unclear, autophagy is involved in innate immune signal transduction, inflammatory response, and various forms of cell death after organ transplantation. This review summarizes how autophagy regulates these processes and proposes potential targets for alleviating immune rejection.

Abstract
Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous cell population with potent suppressive and regulative properties. MDSCs’ strong immunosuppressive potential creates new possibilities to treat chronic inflammation and autoimmune diseases or induce tolerance towards transplantation. Here, we summarize and critically discuss different pharmacological approaches which modulate the generation, activation, and recruitment of MDSCs in vitro and in vivo, and their potential role in future immunosuppressive therapy.

Am J Transplant 2022; 22:1362-1371. [PMID: 35092164 DOI: 10.1111/ajt.16968] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2021] [Revised: 01/05/2022] [Accepted: 01/21/2022] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
Autophagy has been reported to be involved in many aspects of innate and adaptive immunity. Manipulating autophagy is recognized as a promising therapeutic approach for treating immunological diseases, including allograft rejection, and graft-versus-host disease. However, whether autophagy was closely associated with the pathogenesis of corneal allograft rejection remains largely unknown. Here, we showed that rapamycin (RAPA)-induced autophagy alleviated corneal allograft rejection. By contrast, blocking autophagic activity using 3-methyladeine (3-MA) aggravated corneal transplantation rejection. Mechanistically, we revealed that the enhanced autophagic turnover by RAPA inhibited NLRP3 inflammasome activity through NLRP3 degradation. While blocking the fusion of autophagosomes with lysosomes by bafilomycin A1(BafA1), the reduced NLRP3 inflammasome activity induced by RAPA was significantly restored, with increased protein levels of NLRP3 and cleaved Casp-1(p10), as well as IL-1β secretion. Moreover, we further revealed that pharmacologically blocking NLRP3 inflammasome signaling prolonged the survival of corneal allografts. Taken together, these findings underscored the critical roles of enhanced autophagy in treating corneal allograft rejection, which provided an alternative intervention strategy to control corneal transplantation rejection.

Response to FEC Chemotherapy and Oncolytic HSV-1 Is Associated with Macrophage Polarization and Increased Expression of S100A8/A9 in Triple Negative Breast Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13215590. [PMID: 34771752 PMCID: PMC8582648 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13215590] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2021] [Revised: 10/27/2021] [Accepted: 11/05/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary We have previously reported that a combination of clinical chemotherapies and oncolytic HSV-1 works to sensitize tumors to respond to immune checkpoint blockade. We further showed that this therapeutic platform worked via the upregulation of B cells and the concomitant control of immunosuppressive myeloid cells. In this manuscript, we sought to further dissect the mechanism of myeloid cell regulation and differentiation and to identify a therapeutically driven gene signature that is associated with the switch in the myeloid phenotype. This work not only impacts triple-negative breast cancer but all solid tumor phenotypes as we aim to better understand the underlying immunology associated with responses to immune checkpoint therapies in these typically refractory disease types. Abstract The era of immunotherapy has seen an insurgence of novel therapies driving oncologic research and the clinical management of the disease. We have previously reported that a combination of chemotherapy (FEC) and oncolytic virotherapy (oHSV-1) can be used to sensitize otherwise non-responsive tumors to immune checkpoint blockade and that tumor-infiltrating B cells are required for the efficacy of our therapeutic regimen in a murine model of triple-negative breast cancer. In the studies herein, we have performed gene expression profiling using microarray analyses and have investigated the differential gene expression between tumors treated with FEC + oHSV-1 versus untreated tumors. In this work, we uncovered a therapeutically driven switch of the myeloid phenotype and a gene signature driving increased tumor cell killing.
