AbstractThe modes of action of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIgs) in exerting their immunomodulatory properties are broad and not fully understood. IVIgs can modulate the function of various immune cells, including suppressing the capacity of dendritic cells (DCs) to stimulate T cells. In the present study, we showed that DCs matured in the presence of IVIgs (IVIg-DCs) activated NK cells, and increased their interferon-γ production and degranulation. The activated NK cells induced apoptosis of the majority of IVIg-DCs. In consequence, only in the presence of NK cells, IVIg-DCs were 4-fold impaired in their T-cell priming capacity. This was due to NK-cell–mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) to IVIg-DCs, probably induced by IgG multimers, which could be abrogated by blockade of CD16 on NK cells. Furthermore, IVIg-DCs down-regulated the expression of NKp30 and KIR receptors, and induced the generation of CD56brightCD16−CCR7+ lymph node–type NK cells. Our results identify a novel pathway, in which IVIgs induce ADCC of mature DCs by NK cells, which downsizes the antigen-presenting pool and inhibits T-cell priming. By influencing the interaction between DCs and NK cells, IVIgs modulate the ability of the innate immunity to trigger T-cell activation, a mechanism that can “cool down” the immune system at times of activation.

Abstract Common γ chain cytokines are important for immune memory formation. Among them, the role of IL-2 remains to be fully explored. It has been suggested that this cytokine is critically needed in the late phase of primary CD4 T cell activation. Lack of IL-2 at this stage sets for a diminished recall response in subsequent challenges. However, as IL-2 peak production is over at this point, the source and the exact mechanism that promotes its production remain elusive. We report here that resting, previously antigen-stimulated CD4 T cells maintain a minimalist response to dendritic cells after their peak activation in vitro. This subtle activation event may be induced by DCs without overt presence of antigen and appears to be stronger if IL-2 comes from the same dendritic cells. This encounter reactivates a miniature IL-2 production and leads a gene expression profile change in these previously activated CD4 T cells. The CD4 T cells so experienced show enhanced reactivation intensity upon secondary challenges later on. Although mostly relying on in vitro evidence, our work may implicate a subtle programing for CD4 T cell survival after primary activation in vivo.

Background:Mutations of the common cytokine receptor gamma chain (γc) cause Severe Combined Immunodeficiency characterized by absent T and NK cell development. Although stem cell therapy restores these lineages, residual immune defects are observed that may result from selective persistence of γc-deficiency in myeloid lineages. However, little is known about the contribution of myeloid-expressed γc to protective immune responses.  Here we examine the importance of γc for myeloid dendritic cell (DC) function.Methods:We utilize a combination ofin vitroDC/T-cell co-culture assays and a novel lipid bilayer system mimicking the T cell surface to delineate the role of DC-expressed γc during DC/T-cell interaction.Results:We observed that γc in DC was recruited to the contact interface following MHCII ligation, and promoted IL-15Rα colocalization with engaged MHCII. Unexpectedly, trans-presentation of IL-15 was required for optimal CD4+T cell activation by DC and depended on DC γc expression. Neither recruitment of IL-15Rα nor IL-15 trans-signaling at the DC immune synapse (IS), required γc signaling in DC, suggesting that γc facilitates IL-15 transpresentation through induced intermolecularcisassociations or cytoskeletal reorganization following MHCII ligation.Conclusions:These findings show that DC-expressed γc is required for effective antigen-induced CD4+ T cell activation. We reveal a novel mechanism for recruitment of DC IL-15/IL-15Rα complexes to the IS, leading to CD4+ T cell costimulation through localized IL-15 transpresentation that is coordinated with antigen-recognition.
