Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the potential of cluster of differentiation 86 (CD86) as a biomarker in high-grade glioma (HGG). The TCGA and TCIA databases were used to obtain the CD86 expression value, clinical data, and MRI images of HGG patients. Prognostic values were assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method, Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), Cox regression, logistic regression, and nomogram analyses. CD86-associated pathways were also explored. We found that CD86 was significantly upregulated in HGG compared with the normal group. Survival analysis showed a significant association between CD86 high expression and shorter overall survival time. Its independent prognostic value was also confirmed. These results suggested the possibility of CD86 as a biomarker in HGG. We also innovatively established 2 radiomics models with Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Logistic regression (LR) algorithms to predict the CD86 expression. The 2 models containing 5 optimal features by SVM and LR methods showed similar favorable performance in predicting CD86 expression in the training set, and their performance were also confirmed in validation set. These results indicated the successful construction of a radiomics model for non-invasively predicting biomarker in HGG. Finally, pathway analysis indicated that CD86 might be involved in the natural killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity in HGG progression.

The expression pattern of Immune checkpoints after chemo/radiotherapy in the tumor microenvironment. Front Immunol 2022; 13:938063.

Abstract
As a disease with the highest disease-associated burden worldwide, cancer has been the main subject of a considerable proportion of medical research in recent years, intending to find more effective therapeutic approaches with fewer side effects. Combining conventional methods with newer biologically based treatments such as immunotherapy can be a promising approach to treating different tumors. The concept of "cancer immunoediting" that occurs in the field of the tumor microenvironment (TME) is the aspect of cancer therapy that has not been at the center of attention. One group of the role players of the so-called immunoediting process are the immune checkpoint molecules that exert either co-stimulatory or co-inhibitory effects in the anti-tumor immunity of the host. It involves alterations in a wide variety of immunologic pathways. Recent studies have proven that conventional cancer therapies, such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or a combination of them, i.e., chemoradiotherapy, alter the "immune compartment" of the TME. The mentioned changes encompass a wide range of variations, including the changes in the density and immunologic type of the tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and the alterations in the expression patterns of the different immune checkpoints. These rearrangements can have either anti-tumor immunity empowering or immune attenuating sequels. Thus, recognizing the consequences of various chemo(radio)therapeutic regimens in the TME seems to be of great significance in the evolution of therapeutic approaches. Therefore, the present review intends to summarize how chemo(radio)therapy affects the TME and specifically some of the most important, well-known immune checkpoints' expressions according to the recent studies in this field.

J Transl Med 2020; 18:241. [PMID: 32546185 PMCID: PMC7298963 DOI: 10.1186/s12967-020-02410-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/29/2020] [Accepted: 06/06/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to alleviate acute lung injury (ALI) and induce the production of regulatory dendritic cells (DCregs), but the potential link between these two cell types remains unclear. The goal of this study was to investigate the effect and mechanism of MSC-induced regulatory dendritic cells in ALI mice. Material/methods In vivo experiments, C57BL/6 wild-type male mice were sacrificed at different times after intratracheal injection of LPS to observe changes in lung DC maturation and pathological damage. MSCs, DCregs or/and carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE)-labeled DCs were administered to the mice by tail vein, and flow cytometry was performed to measure the phenotype of lung DCs and T cells. Lung injury was estimated by the lung wet weight/body weight ratio and histopathological analysis. In vitro, Western blotting or flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of Notch ligand or receptor in MSCs or DCs after coculture or LPS stimulation. Finally, in vivo and in vitro, we used the Notch signaling inhibitor DAPT to verify the effect of the Notch pathway on MSC-induced DCregs and their pulmonary protection. Results We showed significant accumulation and maturation of lung DCs 2 h after intratracheal injection of LPS, which were positively correlated with the lung pathological injury score. MSC treatment alleviated ALI lung injury, accompanied by a decrease in the number and maturity of classical DCs in the lungs. CFSE-labeled DCs migrated to the lungs of ALI mice more than those of the normal group, and the elimination of CFSE-labeled DCs in the blood was slower. MSCs inhibited the migration of CFSE-labeled DCs to the lung and promoted their elimination in the blood. DCregs, which are obtained by contact coculture of mDCs with MSCs, expressed reduced levels of MHCII, CD86, CD40 and increased levels of PD-L1, and had a reduced ability to stimulate lymphocyte proliferation and activation (expression of CD44 and CD69). mDCs expressing Notch2 significantly increased after coculture with MSCs or rhJagged1, and MSCs expressed more Jagged1 after LPS stimulation. After stimulation of mDCs with recombinant Jagged1, DCs with low expression of MHCII, CD86 and CD40 were also induced, and the effects of both rhJagged1 and MSCs on DCs were blocked by the Notch inhibitor DAPT. Intra-airway DAPT reversed the inhibitory effect of mesenchymal stem cells on DC recruitment to the lungs and its maturation. Conclusions Our results suggested that the recruitment and maturation of lung DCs is an important process in early ALI, MSCs attenuate LPS-induced ALI by inducing the production of DCregs by activating Notch signaling.

Abstract
Cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells are in vitro-expanded cells harboring potent toxicity against tumor cells. Recently, it was identified that the cytotoxicity and proliferation of CIK cells are restricted by a prolonged CIK cell culture period. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) serves a negative role in T cell activation and proliferation. This study aims to determine whether CTLA-4 expression is associated with the inhibition of CIK cells. CIK cells were generated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), and CTLA-4 shRNA (shCTLA-4) lentivirus was applied to knockdown CTLA-4 expression in CIK cells. The proliferation of CIK cells was evaluated following shCTLA-4 lentiviral transduction, and the cytotoxicity of CIK cells was investigated using the CytoTox 96 Non-Radioactive Cytotoxicity assay. The expression of CTLA-4 in CIK cells was significantly increased, compared with that in PBMCs. The shCTLA-4 lentivirus efficiently knocked down the expression of CTLA-4 in CIK cells. The shCTLA-4 lentivirus transduction of CIK cells promoted the proliferation of CIK cells in vitro (3.18±0.19-fold vs. 2.42±0.29-fold). Furthermore, the cytotoxicity of shCTLA-4 lentivirus-transduced CIK cells was significantly improved when compared with that of control shRNA lentivirus-transduced CIK cells (54.5±2.13% vs. 30.5±1.67%). Thus, the suppression of CTLA-4 expression increases cytotoxicity and ex vivo expansion of CIK cells, which indicates a clinical significance for CTLA-4 blockade in CIK cell therapy.

Abstract
Immunotoxins specific for the CD80 and CD86 antigens were prepared by linking three type 1 ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs), namely bouganin, gelonin and saporin-S6, to the monoclonal antibodies M24 (anti-CD80) and 1G10 (anti-CD86). These immunotoxins showed a specific cytotoxicity for the CD80/CD86-expressing cell lines Raji and L428. The immunotoxins inhibited protein synthesis by target cells with IC50s (concentration causing 50% inhibition) ranging from 0.25 to 192 pmol/l as RIPs. The anti-CD80 immunotoxins appeared 1-2 log more toxic for target cells than the anti-CD86 ones. Immunotoxins containing saporin and bouganin induced apoptosis of target cells. The toxicity for bone marrow haemopoietic progenitors of these conjugates was also evaluated. Bouganin and related immunotoxins at concentrations up to 100 nmol/l did not significantly affect the recovery of committed progenitors or of more primitive cells. The saporin-containing immunotoxins at concentrations >/= 1 nmol/l showed some toxicity on colony-forming unit cells (CFU-C). The expression of the CD80 and CD86 molecules is prevalently restricted to antigen-presenting cells and is also strong on Hodgkin and Reed-Sternberg cells in Hodgkin's disease. Present results suggest that immunotoxins targeting type 1 ribosome-inactivating proteins to these antigens could be considered and further studied for the therapy of Hodgkin's disease or other CD80/CD86-expressing tumours.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is accumulating evidence that blockade of the costimulatory pathways offers a valid approach for immune suppression after solid organ transplantation. In this study, the efficacy of anti-CD80 and anti-CD86 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) in combination with cyclosporine (CsA) to prevent renal allograft rejection was tested in non-human primates. METHODS Rhesus monkeys were transplanted with a partly major histocompatibility complex-matched kidney on day 0. Anti-CD80 and anti-CD86 mAbs were administered intravenously daily for 14 days starting at day - 1. CsA was given intramuscularly for 35 days starting just after transplantation. The kidney function was monitored by determining serum creatinine levels. RESULTS The combination of anti-CD80 and anti-CD86 mAbs completely abrogated the mixed lymphocyte reaction. Untreated rhesus monkeys rejected the kidney allograft in 5-7 days. Treatment with anti-CD80 plus anti-CD86 mAbs resulted in a significantly prolonged graft survival of 28+ 7 days (P=0.025). There were no clinical signs of side effects or rejection during treatment. Kidney graft rejection started after the antibody therapy was stopped. The anti-mouse antibody response was delayed from day 10 to 30 after the first injection. No difference in graft survival was observed between animals treated with CsA alone or in combination with anti-CD80 and anti-CD86 mAbs. However, treatment with anti-CD80 and anti-CD86 mAbs reduced development of vascular rejection. CONCLUSIONS In combination, anti-CD80 and antiCD86 mAbs abrogate T-cell proliferation in vitro, delay the anti-mouse antibody response in vivo, and prevent graft rejection and development of graft vascular disease in a preclinical vascularized transplant model in non-human primates.

Abstract
Antigen-specific T-cell activation requires the engagement of the T-cell receptor (TCR) with antigen as well as the engagement of appropriate costimulatory molecules. One of the most important pathways of costimulation is the interaction of CD28 on the T cell with B7-1/B7-2 on antigen-presenting cells. In the present study, we have examined the in vivo effects of blocking the CD28:B7 T-cell costimulatory pathway by administration of mCTLA4-IgG in a murine model of allergic asthma. Mice were sensitized with ovalbumin and exposed to repeated ovalbumin inhalation challenges. In mice treated with a control antibody at the time of ovalbumin challenge a significant increase in the number of eosinophils (12.8 +/- 4.3 x 10(3) cells, P < 0.05) in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid and airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine (49 +/- 15%, P < 0.05) was observed. In addition, serum levels of ovalbumin-specific IgE were significantly (P < 0.01) increased after ovalbumin challenge compared with saline challenge (1,133 +/- 261 experimental units [EU]/ml and 220 +/- 63 EU/ml, respectively). In mice treated with mCTLA4-IgG at the time of ovalbumin challenge, the infiltration of eosinophils into BAL fluid and the development of airway hyperresponsiveness to methacholine were completely inhibited. The upregulation of ovalbumin-specific IgE levels in serum was attenuated by mCTLA4-IgG treatment. Furthermore, addition of mCTLA4-IgG to cultures of parabronchial lymph node cells from sensitized mice inhibited the ovalbumin-induced interleukin-4 production. These data indicate the therapeutic potential of blocking T-lymphocyte costimulation by CTLA4-IgG as a possible immunosuppressive treatment for patients with allergic asthma.
