Abstract

Human serum contains large amounts of anti-carbohydrate antibodies, some of which may recognize epitopes on viral glycans. Here, we tested the hypothesis that such antibodies may confer protection against COVID-19 so that patients would be preferentially found among people with low amounts of specific anti-carbohydrate antibodies since individual repertoires vary considerably. After selecting glycan epitopes commonly represented in the human anti-carbohydrate antibody repertoire that may also be expressed on viral glycans, plasma levels of the corresponding antibodies were determined by ELISA in 88 SARS-CoV-2 infected individuals, including 13 asymptomatic, and in 82 non-infected controls. We observed that anti-Tn antibodies levels were significantly lower in patients as compared to non-infected individuals. This was not observed for any of the other tested carbohydrate epitopes, including anti-αGal antibodies used as a negative control since the epitope cannot be synthesized by humans. Owing to structural homologies with blood groups A and B antigens, we also observed that anti-Tn and anti-αGal antibodies levels were lower in blood group A and B, respectively. Analyses of correlations between anti-Tn and the other anti-carbohydrates tested revealed divergent patterns of correlations between patients and controls, suggesting qualitative differences in addition to the quantitative difference. Furthermore, anti-Tn levels correlated with anti-S protein levels in the patients’ group, suggesting that anti-Tn might contribute to the development of the specific antiviral response. Overall, this first analysis allows to hypothesize that natural anti-Tn antibodies might be protective against COVID-19., SCOPUS: ar.j, info:eu-repo/semantics/published

Abstract

BackgroundClinical benefit from programmed cell death 1 receptor (PD-1) inhibitors relies on reinvigoration of endogenous antitumor immunity. Nonetheless, robust immunological markers, based on circulating immune cell subsets associated with therapeutic efficacy are yet to be validated.MethodsWe isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cell from three independent cohorts of melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma patients treated with PD-1 inhibitor, at baseline and longitudinally after therapy. Using multiparameter flow cytometry and cell sorting, we isolated four subsets of CD8+ T cells, based on PD-1 and TIGIT expression profiles. We performed phenotypic characterization, T cell receptor sequencing, targeted transcriptomic analysis and antitumor reactivity assays to thoroughly characterize each of these subsets.ResultsWe documented that the frequency of circulating PD-1+TIGIT+ (DPOS) CD8+ T-cells after 1 month of anti-PD-1 therapy was associated with clinical response and overall survival. This DPOS T-cell population was enriched in highly activated T-cells, tumor-specific and emerging T-cell clonotypes and T lymphocytes overexpressing CXCR5, a key marker of the CD8 cytotoxic follicular T cell population. Additionally, transcriptomic profiling defined a specific gene signature for this population as well as the overexpression of specific pathways associated with the therapeutic response.ConclusionsOur results provide a convincing rationale for monitoring this PD-1+TIGIT+ circulating population as an early cellular-based marker of therapeutic response to anti-PD-1 therapy.

Abstract

International audience; Objectives: In patients with spinal cord injury, spinal cord injury-immune depression syndrome induces pneumonia. We aimed to develop a new spinal cord injury-immune depression syndrome mouse model and to test antiprogrammed cell death 1 therapy. Design: Experimental study. Setting: Research laboratory. Subjects: RjOrl: SWISS and BALB/cJ mice. Interventions: Mouse model of spinal cord injury-immune depression syndrome followed by a methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia. Lung injuries were assessed by histologic analysis. Membrane markers and intracytoplasmic cytokines were assessed by flow cytometry. Cytokine production was assessed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (messenger RNA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (protein). Animals were treated with blocking antiprogrammed cell death 1 antibodies (intraperitoneal injection). Measurements and Main Results: Spinal cord injury mice were more susceptible to methicillin-susceptible S. aureus pneumonia (increased mortality rate). An early inflammatory response was observed in spinal cord injury mice characterized in lungs by a decreased percentage of aerated tissue, an increased production of proinflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α). In spleen, an increased expression of major histocompatibility complex class II molecules on dendritic cells, and an increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (interleukin-12, interferon-γ) was observed. Following this pulmonary and systemic inflammation, spinal cord injury-immune depression syndrome was observed in spleens as acknowledged by a decrease of spleen's weight, a lymphopenia, a decrease of major histocompatibility complex class II expression on dendritic cells. An increase of interleukin-10 production and the increase of a cell exhaustion marker expression, programmed cell death 1 receptor on T-cell were also observed. Blockade of programmed cell death 1 molecules, improved survival of spinal cord injury infected mice and enhanced interferon-γ production by natural killer T cells as well as number of viable CD4 + T cells. Conclusions: This model of spinal cord injury in mice mimics a clinical scenario rendering animals prone to a secondary pneumonia. We show for the first time an acute T-cell exhaustion-like phenomenon following an initial inflammatory response. Finally, inhibition of exhaustion pathway should be considered as a new therapeutic option to overcome spinal cord injury-immune depression syndrome and to decrease the rate of nosocomial pneumonia.

Abstract

The combination of carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan (BEAM) as conditioning regimen prior to autologous stem-cell transplantation (ASCT) remains the standard of care for patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who are eligible for transplantation. The replacement of carmustine with bendamustine (BeEAM) was described as a promising alternative in non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The aim of this retrospective study was to compare the BeEAM with the BEAM regimen in MCL patients in the frontline setting. Sixty and 108 patients were included in the BeEAM and the BEAM groups, respectively. At 3 years, progression-free survival (PFS) was significantly higher in the BeEAM than in the BEAM group (84% [73-96] vs. 63% [51-79], p = 0.03). The overall survival was not statistically different between the two groups (p = 0.2). In multivariable analysis, BeEAM regimen remained associated with higher PFS (HR = 0.377, 95% CI, 0.146-0.970; p = 0.043). Subgroup analyses in patients treated with prior rituximab-aracytine induction alone showed that BeEAM improved the PFS compared with BEAM regimen (p = 0.04). Despite the high rate of acute renal failure KDIGO III (32%), treatment-related mortality was not increased with the BeEAM regimen. A prospective randomized trial will be necessary to confirm the beneficial effect of the BeEAM regimen in MCL patients undergoing ASCT.

Abstract

International audience; Peripheral CD4 + CD8 + double positive (DP) T cells are a phenotypically and functionally heterogeneous population depending on their origin and pathologic context. We previously identified among tumour infiltrating lymphocytes in melanoma, a tumour-reactive MHC class-I restricted CD4 low CD8 high DP αβ T-cell subpopulation with CD4-like function. In this study, we used an in-depth comparative transriptomic analysis of intra-melanoma DP T cells and CD4 and CD8 single positive (SP) T cells, to better comprehend the origin of this DP phenotype, and define the transcriptomic signature of activated DP T cells. We observed that intra-melanoma DP T cells were transcriptome-wise closer to their CD8 SP T-cell counterparts in terms of number of genes differentially expressed (97 in common with CD8 SP T cells and 15 with CD4 SP T cells) but presented hallmarks of a transition to a CD4-like functional profile (CD40LG) with a decreased cytotoxic signature (KLRC1) in favour of an increased cytokine-receptor interaction signature (IL4, IL24, IL17A…). This unleashed CD4-like program could be the results of the observed unbalanced expression of the THPOK/Runx3 transcription factors in DP T cells. Overall, this study allow us to speculate that intra-melanoma DP T cells arise from CD8 SP T cells being reprogrammed to a helper function. Contrary to the CD4 + CD8 + double positive (DP) thymocytes, well described as a T cell development stage, peripheral DP αβ T cells had attracted less attention mostly because of their weak frequency in the peripheral blood of healthy human donors (1 to 3%) 1,2. Nonetheless, following diverse inflammatory processes from viral or parasitic infections 3-5 , to autoimmune diseases 6,7 or cancer 8-14 , this subpopulation can become quite predominant in the blood or in the inflamed tissue/organ. This suggests a causal relationship between DP T cell emergence and disease. From these studies, DP T cells appeared as a more heterogeneous population than initially thought. Based on the co-expression level of the CD8 and CD4 co-receptors, peripheral DP T cells can be subdivided into three major subtypes: (i) the CD4 high CD8 low phenotype expressing the CD8αα homodimer, (ii) the CD4 high CD8 high phenotype and (iii) the CD4 low CD8 high phenotype both expressing the CD8αβ heterodimer 15,16. Although not always clearly demonstrated, these diverse phenotypes are presumably resulting from diverse origins. Thus, it has been proposed that CD4 high CD8 low DP T cells derive from peripheral CD4 T cells that following activation with the appropriate co-stimuli such as IL-4, TGF-β or retinoic acid can induce the CD8αα co-receptor expression at a low level 17. On the other hand, the CD4 low CD8 high phenotype is considered to be emerging from peripheral CD8 T cells that after activation with strong stimuli can reexpress the CD4 co-receptor at a low level 18,19. Regarding the CD4 high CD8 high phenotype, less is known and either a thymus or a peripheral origin can be considered. In our previous work, we have described the enrichment in the tumour infiltrate of several solid cancers including melanoma, of a class-I-restricted DP T-cell population presenting the CD4 low CD8 high phenotype 9,10. This population was not increased in the peripheral blood suggesting the influence of the tumour microenviron-ment upon the development of DP T cells.

Abstract

International audience; Sepsis and trauma cause inflammation and elevated susceptibility to hospital-acquired pneumonia. As phagocytosis by macrophages plays a critical role in the control of bacteria, we investigated the phagocytic activity of macrophages after resolution of inflammation. After resolution of primary pneumonia, murine alveolar macrophages (AMs) exhibited poor phagocytic capacity for several weeks. These paralyzed AMs developed from resident AMs that underwent an epigenetic program of tolerogenic training. Such adaptation was not induced by direct encounter of the pathogen but by secondary immunosuppressive signals established locally upon resolution of primary infection. Signal-regulatory protein α (SIRPα) played a critical role in the establishment of the microenvironment that induced tolerogenic training. In humans with systemic inflammation, AMs and also circulating monocytes still displayed alterations consistent with reprogramming six months after resolution of inflammation. Antibody blockade of SIRPα restored phagocytosis in monocytes of critically ill patients in vitro, which suggests a potential strategy to prevent hospital-acquired pneumonia.

Abstract

International audience; We previously demonstrated an accumulation of tumor-reactive CD4 + CD8 + double positive (DP) T cells within melanoma-infiltrating lymphocytes, supporting their role in the regulation of anti-tumor immune responses. Similarly to their CD8 + counterparts, intra-tumor DP T cells are MHC class-I restricted but differed by a limited lytic activity against autologous melanoma cells. Based on these observations and to further characterize DP T cells, both populations were compared at the transcriptional level. Our results revealed the overexpression of the IL-9 receptor (IL-9R) by DP T cells and prompted us to investigate the impact of IL-9 on their biology. We show that IL-9 favors DP T-cell survival by protecting them from apoptosis and by promoting their proliferation. In addition, IL-9 enhances their ability to produce cytokines and increased their levels of granzyme B/perforin as well as degranulation capacity, leading to a strengthened cytotoxic activity against melanoma cells. Taken together, the IL-9R high DP T-cell population could be a new preferential target for IL-9, which could take part in their retention within the melanoma infiltrate while also favoring their anti-tumor activity. More generally, our results extend the pleiotropic effects of IL-9 to IL-9R-expressing intra-tumor T cells, which could further potentiate anti-tumor immune responses.

Abstract

International audience; BACKGROUND & AIMS:Faecalibacterium prausnitzii, a member of the Clostridium IV group of the Firmicutes phylum that is abundant in the intestinal microbiota, has anti-inflammatory effects. The relative level of F prausnitzii is decreased in fecal samples from patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) compared with healthy individuals. Reduced F prausnitzii was correlated with relapse of Crohn's disease after surgery. We identified, in human colonic mucosa and blood, a population of T regulatory type 1-like T regulatory (TREG) cells that express CD4 and CD8α (DP8α T cells) and are specific for F prausnitzii. We aimed to determine whether they are altered in patients with IBD.METHODS:We isolated DP8α T cells from human colon lamina propria and blood samples and used flow cytometry to detect markers of cells that are of colon origin. We quantified DP8α cells that express colon-specific markers in blood samples from 106 patients with IBD, 12 patients with infectious colitis, and 35 healthy donors (controls). We identified cells that respond to F prausnitzii. Cells were stimulated with anti-CD3, and their production of interleukin 10 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. We compared the frequency and reactivity of cells from patients vs controls using the 2-sided Student t test or 1-way analysis of variance.RESULTS:Circulating DP8α T cells that proliferate in response to F prausnitzii express the C-C motif chemokine receptor 6 (CCR6) and C-X-C motif chemokine receptor 6 (CXCR6). These cells also have features of TREG cells, including production of IL-10 and inhibition of T-cell proliferation via CD39 activity. The proportion of circulating CCR6+/CXCR6+ DP8α T cells was significantly reduced (P < .0001) within the total population of CD3+ T cells from patients with IBD compared with patients with infectious colitis or controls.

Abstract

International audience; In colorectal cancer (CRC), little is known about mechanisms by which tumor cells can influence the biology of Tumor Infiltrating T lymphocytes (TILs) present in the tumor microenvironment. One of these mechanisms could be modulation of the inflammasome of tumor cells. The inflammasome is a molecular platform present in normal intestinal epithelial cells, whose effector protein, caspase-1, can rapidly mature IL-18 and generate a mucosal Th1 (IFNγ) response. However, the inflammasome status of tumor cells in CRC and its potential role in the biology of TILs are unknown yet. This prospective study aimed to determine in CRC patients (n = 50) : i) the status of the inflammasome (caspase-1 / IL-18 axis) in tumor cells according to their microsatellite status [unstable (MSI) or stable (MSS)], in relation with the density of Th1/Tc1 TILs (T-bet+) and with the levels of the prototype Th1 cytokine IFNγ, secreted in an ex vivo explant culture model of CRC we developed and ii) the impact of the inflammasome-dependent cytokines potentially secreted by tumor cells on the biology of isolated TILs. Our study delineates two major groups of patients. The first group (33% of cases, mostly MSS with a low immunoscore) featured no active caspase-1 in tumor cells, no or low levels of mature IL-18 and IFNγ and only few T-bet+ TILs in the tumor microenvironment. This profile could correspond to an immune escape mechanism facilitating tumor progression. The second group (66% of cases, both MSI and MSS with high immunoscore) featured active caspase-1 in tumor cells associated with mature IL-18 secretion, high density of T-bet+ TILs expressing IL-18Rα and IFNγ release in most cases. In addition, isolated IL-18Rα+ TILs cultured with recombinant IL-18 were able to secrete IFNγ, either left unstimulated or stimulated with anti-CD3. In these CRC, the inflammasome of tumor cells, maintained and active, can contribute to a Th1/Tc1 antitumor response elicited by TILs present in the microenvironment that can modulate tumor growth. Interestingly, in a few cases of this second group (MSI CRC), the numerous T-bet+ TILs were unable to generate a Th1 response. Noticeably, these TILs express numerous immune checkpoints including PD1 and TIGIT, potentially responsible for their exhaustion. This study is the first to delineate functional interactions between tumor cells and TILs in CRC, using ex vivo explant cultures. Altogether, our findings support the inflammasome of tumor cells as a potential new therapeutic target to strengthen the Th1/Tc1 immune response in CRC, in association with immune checkpoint blockers.

Abstract

International audience; Abnormal activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system plays a causal role in the development of hypertension, atherosclerosis, and associated cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction, stroke, and heart failure. As both a vasoconstrictor and a proinflammatory mediator, angiotensin II (Ang II) is considered a potential link between hypertension and atherosclerosis. However, a role for Ang II-induced inflammation in atherosclerosis has not been clearly established, and the molecular mechanisms and intracellular signaling pathways involved are not known. Here, we demonstrated that the RhoA GEF Arhgef1 is essential for Ang II-induced inflammation. Specifically, we showed that deletion of Arhgef1 in a murine model prevents Ang II-induced integrin activation in leukocytes, thereby preventing Ang II-induced recruitment of leukocytes to the endothelium. Mice lacking both LDL receptor (LDLR) and Arhgef1 were protected from high-fat diet-induced atherosclerosis. Moreover, reconstitution of Ldlr-/- mice with Arhgef1-deficient BM prevented high-fat diet-induced atherosclerosis, while reconstitution of Ldlr-/- Arhgef1-/- with WT BM exacerbated atherosclerotic lesion formation, supporting Arhgef1 activation in leukocytes as causal in the development of atherosclerosis. Thus, our data highlight the importance of Arhgef1 in cardiovascular disease and suggest targeting Arhgef1 as a potential therapeutic strategy against atherosclerosis.

Abstract

International audience; Controlling the interactions of functional nanostructures with water and biological media represents high challenges in the field of bioimaging applications. Large contrast at low doses, high colloidal stability in physiological conditions, absence of cell cytotoxicity and efficient cell internalization represent strong additional needs. To achieve such requirements, we report on high payload magneto-fluorescent architectures, made of a shell of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles tightly anchored around fluorescent organic nanoparticles. Their external coating is simply modulated using anionic polyelectrolytes in a final step to provide efficient MRI and fluorescence imaging of live cells. Various structures of pegylated polyelectrolytes have been synthesized and investigated, differing from their iron oxide complexing units (carboxylic versus phosphonic acid), their structure (block or comb-like), their hydrophobicity and their fabrication process (conventional or RAFT-controlled radical polymerization) while keeping the central magneto-fluorescent platforms the same. Combined photophysical, magnetic, NMRD and structural investigations proved the superiority of RAFT polymer coatings containing carboxylate units and a hydrophobic tail to impart the magnetic nanoassemblies with enhanced-MRI negative contrast, characterized by a high r2/r1 ratio andtransverse relaxation r2 equal to 21 and 125 s-1mmol-1L respectively at 60 MHz clinical frequency (~1.5 T). Thanks to their dual modality, cell internalization of the nanoassemblies in mesothelioma cancer cells could be evidenced both by confocal fluorescence microscopy and magnetophoresis. A 72 h follow-up showed efficient uptake after 24 h with no notable cell mortality. These studies again pointed out the distinct behavior of RAFT polyelectrolyte-coated bimodal nanoassemblies that internalize at a slower rate with no adverse cytotoxicity. Extension to multicellular tumor cell spheroids that mimic solid tumors revealed successful internalization of the nanoassemblies in the periphery cells, which provides efficient deep-imaging labels thanks to their induced T2* contrast, large emission Stokes shift and bright dot-like signal, popping out of the strong spheroid autofluorescence.

Abstract

e14592 Background: A better understanding of the immune-modulating interactions between tumor cells and immune cells underlying the balance between immune control and immune resistance in colorectal cancer (CRC) is crucial for the design of immunotherapies. We have previously demonstrated that overexpression of the human MHC class Ib molecule - HLA-E/β2 microglobulin - by tumor cells in CRC was associated with an unfavorable prognosis, suggesting its involvement in immune escape. However, the specific receptor of HLA-E/β2m - CD94/NKG2A, inhibitory or CD94/NKG2C, activating - expressed by tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), as well as the influence of the microsatellite status in HLA-E/β2m overexpression, remain unknown. Methods: We investigated in the primary tumor of 245 CRC patients 1) the association of HLA-E/β2m overexpression and the density of CD94+ intraepithelial TIL (IEL-TIL) with the microsatellite status, 2) the nature of CD94+ TIL and the receptor expressed - CD94/NKG2A or CD94/NKG2C - and 3) the prognostic influence of CD94+ IEL-TIL. Results: HLA-E/β2m was preferentially overexpressed in MSI compared with MSS CRC (44,6 % vs 18,4 % respectively, p = 0.0001), and significantly associated with a high density of CD94+ IEL-TIL in MSI (0,9% in HLA-E/β2m+ vs 0,2% in HLA-E/β2m– CRC, p = 0,001), and in MSS CRC (0,38% vs 0,15%, p < 0,0001). These CD94+ TIL mostly corresponded to CD8+ αβ T cells preferentially expressing the inhibitory NKG2A chain. Finally, a high density of CD94+ IEL-TIL was independently associated with a worse OS (p = 0.03). Conclusions: These results strongly suggest that HLA-E/β2m - CD94/NKG2A interactions, preferentially up-regulated in MSI CRC, represent a promising inhibitory immune checkpoint. From a clinical point of view, this inhibitory immune checkpoint could be blocked by the new anti-NKG2A monoclonal antibody.
