Abstract
OBJECTIVE To observe the effects of dendritic cells (DC) in donor C57BL/6 (H-2b) micetransfected with recombinant adenovirus vector Ad-PD-L1 on proliferation and activation of lymphocytes in recipient DBA/2 (H-2d) mice. METHODS The pSport 1-mSD274 plasmid containing the full-length PD-L1 cDNA of the mouse was digested and subcloned to the shuttle plasmid pShuttle-GFP-CMV(-), and then the adenovirus skeleton plasmid pAdxsi-GFP-CMV-PD-L1 was constructed by enzymolysis and ligation, transformed into DH5α sensitive bacteria, and screened for positive clones. After enzyme digestion, sequencing, and identification, 293 cells were transfected with liposome after linearization for packaging and amplification, and the virus was purified by cesium chloride density gradient centrifugation. DC of donor C57BL/6 mice were isolated, cultured, and divided into the following 3 groups: group A, adenovirus vector Ad-PD-L1 transfection group; group B, empty vector transfection group; and group C, control group. Western blot was used to detect the expression of PD-L1 in each group of cells after transfection. Isolate lymphocytes from recipient DBA/2 mice were labeled with carboxyfluorescein diacetate succinimidyl ester (CFSE) and mixed with DC of donor C57BL/6 mice with lymphocytes of recipient DBA/2 mice. Flow cytometry was performed to observe the proliferation of lymphocytes. RESULTS Digestion and sequencing confirmed that the recombinant adenovirus vector Ad-PD-L1 containing PD-L1 was successfully constructed. After transfection with DC of donor C57BL/6 mice, the expression of PD-L1 increased by 37% (P < .05), and the PD-L1 transfected DC and recipient DBA/2. Mouse lymphocytes were cocultured. Compared with the control group, the increased expression of PD-L1 significantly inhibited the proliferation and activation of lymphocytes. The lymphocyte proliferation of DBA/2 mice decreased by 41% (P < .01). CONCLUSION The recombinant adenovirus vector Ad-PD-L1 containing the mouse PD-L1 gene was successfully constructed. After transfection with dendritic cells of donor C57BL/6 mice, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibited lymphocytes proliferation and activation of recipient DBA/2 mice through costimulatory pathway.

Transfusion 2018; 58:1800-1813.

Abstract
In recent years, cell-based therapies targeting the immune system have emerged as promising strategies for cancer treatment. This review summarizes manufacturing challenges related to production of antigen presenting cells as a patient-tailored cancer therapy. Understanding cell-material interactions is essential because in vitro cell culture manipulations to obtain mature antigen-producing cells can significantly alter their in vivo performance. Traditional antigen-producing cell culture protocols often rely on cell adhesion to surface-treated hydrophilic polystyrene flasks. More recent commercial and investigational cancer immunotherapy products were manufactured using suspension cell culture in closed hydrophobic fluoropolymer bags. The shift to closed cell culture systems can decrease risks of contamination by individual operators, as well as facilitate scale-up and automation. Selecting closed cell culture bags over traditional open culture systems entails different handling procedures and processing controls, which can affect product quality. Changes in culture vessels also entail changes in vessel materials and geometry, which may alter the cell microenvironment and resulting cell fate decisions. Strategically designed culture systems will pave the way for the generation of more sophisticated and highly potent cell-based cancer vaccines. As an increasing number of cell-based therapies enter the clinic, the selection of appropriate cell culture vessels and materials becomes a critical consideration that can impact the therapeutic efficacy of the product, and hence clinical outcomes and patient quality of life.

Abstract
The present study explored the effects of disodium cantharidinate (DC) on the peripheral blood-derived dendritic cells of patients with bladder carcinoma. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the 15 cases of urinary bladder carcinoma of middle and advanced stage were separated, and dendritic cells were prepared. The morphological changes of dendritic cells were observed. Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression levels of CD1a and CD83 on dendritic cell surface. MTT assay was utilized to measure the proliferation ability of allogeneic lymphocyte stimulated by DC. Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide (PI) double staining flow cytometry method was carried out to detect cell apoptosis after treatment with DC. The changes in caspase-3 and PARP expression levels were investigated by western blot method. The high-dose DC resulted in a significant increase in the expressions of dendritic cell phenotyptic molecules CDla and CD83 as compared to control group. In addition, the proliferation index of allogenic lymphocyte stimulated by DC was significantly higher than that of control group. Moreover, MTT assay showed significant inhibition of the growth of BIU-87 cells. After 24 h of DC treatment, double staining flow cytometry confirmed the ability of DC to induce cell apoptosis. Further, western blot method showed a significant elevation of caspase-3 and PARP protein expression after DC treatment. In conclusion, DC treatment could induce dendritic cell maturation of patient with carcinoma of urinary bladder and promote its functional changes. Furthermore, DC was able to inhibit the proliferation of cell BIU-87 and also has the ability to induce cell apoptosis.

Eur J Pharmacol 2016; 796:110-114. [PMID: 28017828 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejphar.2016.12.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2016] [Revised: 12/20/2016] [Accepted: 12/21/2016] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
Dezocine has been generally utilized for pain therapy and auxiliary anesthesia. Although it has some advantages on the prevention of some anesthesia related complications, its effect on immune responses remains unclear. Our study investigated the effects of Dezocine on IL-10 and IL-12 secretion and lymphocytes activation by culturing dendritic cells (DCs), and revealed the underlying mechanism. Mononuclear cells were divided into negative control group (GN), positive control group (GP), experimental group (GD; GD5, D7, D9). DCs morphological structure was performed by microscope and its phenotypes were evaluated by flow cytometry. IL-12 and IL-10 levels were determined by ELISA and lymphocyte proliferation capacity was performed by MTT assay. Results showed that typical morphological characters of DCs were observed in GP and GD. The positive cell percentages of CD83, HLA-DR, CD80, CD86 and CD40 in GD were lower than those in GP, but higher than the GN group (P<0.01). IL-12 level in GD was higher than in GP, however, IL-10 was opposite (P<0.01). The optical density in GD was lower than in GP (P<0.05). There were no dose-dependent relationships correlated with DCs phenotypes, IL-12 and IL-10 secretion and lymphocytes activation (P>0.05). Our conclusion was that Dezocine might play a role in immunity by regulating IL-12 and IL-10 secretion, and affecting lymphocyte activity in process of DCs maturation. Our findings reveal an unexpected immuno-regulatory function of Dezocine in DCs and provide an important insight for investigating the effect of opioid drugs in immunologic responses.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are critical to the initiation of a T-cell response. They constitute the most potent antigen-presenting cell (APC) endowed with the unique capacity to stimulate an antigen-specific T-cell responses by naïve T cells. Adenoviruses (Ad) have high transduction efficiency for many cell types including cells of hematopoietic origin independent of their mitotic status, and replication-defective Ad have demonstrated a safety profile clinically. Further, Ad vectors provide a high level of transgene expression, and Ad-transduced DCs can effectively present antigenic proteins. In this chapter, we outline a functionally closed, good manufacturing protocol for the differentiation of monocytes into DCs and transduction by Ad vectors. Basic functional and phenotypic release assays are provided, as well as contrasting research approaches for Ad-transduced DC-based vaccines.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs), the most potent antigen-presenting cells have been extensively applied in clinical trials for evaluation of antitumor immunity. However, the efficacy of DC-mediated cancer vaccines is still limited as they are unable to sufficiently break the immune tolerance. In this study, we constructed a recombinant adenoviral vector (AdVIL-6) expressing IL-6, and generated IL-6 transgene-engineered DC vaccine (DCOVA/IL-6) by transfection of murine bone marrow-derived ovalbumin (OVA)-pulsed DCs (DCOVA) with AdVIL-6. We then assessed DCOVA/IL-6-stimulated cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses and antitumor immunity in OVA-specific animal tumor model. We demonstrate that DCOVA/IL-6 vaccine up-regulates expression of DC maturation markers, secretes transgene-encoded IL-6, and more efficiently stimulates OVA-specific CTL responses and therapeutic immunity against OVA-expressing B16 melanoma BL6-10OVA in vivo than the control DCOVA/Null vaccine. Moreover, DCOVA/IL-6-stimulated CTL responses were relatively maintained in mice with transfer of CD4+25+Foxp3+ Tr-cells, but significantly reduced when treated with anti-IL-6 antibody. In addition, we demonstrate that IL-6 down-regulates Foxp3-expression of CD4+25+Foxp3+ Tr-cells in vitro. Taken together, our results demonstrate that AdV-mediated IL-6 transgene-engineered DC vaccine stimulates potent CTL responses and antitumor immunity by counteracting CD4+25+ Tr immunosuppression via IL-6-induced Foxp3 down-regulation. Thus, IL-6 may be a good candidate for engineering DCs for cancer immunotherapy.

Abstract
AIM: To observe the effect of recombinant adenovirus Ad5-pCEA-Hsp70-mediated Hsp70 gene expression on tumor growth in a rat xenograft model of pancreatic cancer, and to analyze the underlying mechanism.
METHODS: A rat xenograft model of pancreatic cancer was established, and model animals were randomly divided into three groups, which were given Ad5-pCEA-Hsp70, Ad5-control and PBS treatment, respectively. Antitumor effect was evaluated by comparing tumor size at different time points among the three groups. ELISA was used to detect the peripheral blood levels of Hsp70 protein, INF-g, TNF-a and IL-6. HE staining was used to detect lymphocyte infiltration. Animal spleen mononuclear cells were isolated to determine the proportion of CD83+ cells by flow cytometry. Cell-killing ability of spleen lymphocytes was observed in vitro.
RESULTS: At 4, 6, and 8 weeks after treatment, tumor volume in the Ad5-CEA-Hsp70 group was significantly lower than that in the Ad5-control group and PBS group (724.4 mm3 ± 81.6 mm3vs 901.3 mm3 ± 103.9 mm3, 987.5 mm3 ± 126.0 mm3; 681.3 mm3 ± 64.9 mm3vs 1 270.6 mm3 ± 131.6 mm3, 1 398.5 mm3 ± 193.0 mm3; 648.0 mm3 ± 65.9 mm3vs 1 487.0 mm3 ± 243.0 mm3, 1 660.0 mm3 ± 167.0 mm3; all P < 0.01). The levels of Hsp70 protein and cytokines INF-g, TNF-a and IL-6 in peripheral blood in the Ad5-pCEA-Hsp70 group were significantly higher than those in the Ad5-control group and PBS group (all P < 0.01). Compared to the Ad5-control group and PBS group, Ad5-pCEA-Hsp70 group had more lymphocytic infiltration. The proportion of CD83+ cells in the Ad5-pCEA-Hsp70 group was significantly higher than that in the Ad5-control group and PBS group (10.8% ± 1.3% vs 5.1% ± 0.6%, 4.8% ± 0.6%; both P < 0.01). In the lymphocyte-mediated CTL experiment, when the cell ratio of effect: target was 1:1, there was no significant difference in the cell killing ability among the three groups (P > 0.05), but with the increase in the effect: target cell ratio, the cell killing ability in the Ad5-pCEA-Hsp70 group was significantly increased (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION: Hsp70 gene expression mediated by recombinant adenovirus Ad5-pCEA-Hsp70 could inhibit tumor growth in a rat xenograft model of pancreatic cancer via mechanisms that are related to the promotion of dentritic cell maturation, induction of cytokine secretion, and promotion of lymphocyte infiltration.

Abstract
AIM: To analyze the prognostic significance of CD83, CD1a, and Ki-67 expression in colorectal carcinoma.
METHODS: The expression of CD83, CD1a, and Ki-67 in 60 cases of colorectal cancer was detected by immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry (FCM). The correlations of CD83, CD1a, and Ki-67 expression with clinicopathological parameters and prognosis in colorectal cancer were analyzed.
RESULTS: Immunohistochemistry analysis showed that the positive rates of CD83 and CD1a in early-stage (Dukes' stage) colorectal cancer patients and those with a good prognosis were significantly higher than those in advanced-stage patients and those with a poor prognosis, respectively (all P < 0.05). FCM analysis showed that the positive rate of CD1a was significantly higher in early-stage colorectal cancer patients and those with a good prognosis than in advanced-stage patients and those with a poor prognosis, respectively (both P < 0.05). Both immunohistochemistry and FCM results showed that the positive rate of Ki-67 was significantly lower in early-stage colorectal cancer patients and those with a good prognosis than in advanced-stage patients and those with a poor prognosis, respectively (both P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: CD83, CD1a, and Ki-67 expression is correlated with the Dukes' stage and prognosis of colorectal cancer and can therefore be used as a prognostic parameter for the disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dendritic cells (DCs) are applied worldwide in several clinical studies of immune therapy of malignancies, autoimmune diseases, and transplantations. Most legislative bodies are demanding high standards for cultivation and transduction of cells. Closed-cell cultivating systems like cell culture bags would simplify and greatly improve the ability to reach these cultivation standards. We investigated if a new polyolefin cell culture bag enables maturation and adenoviral modification of human DCs in a closed system and compare the results with standard polystyrene flasks. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Mononuclear cells were isolated from HLA-A*0201-positive blood donors by leukapheresis. A commercially available separation system (CliniMACS, Miltenyi Biotec) was used to isolate monocytes by positive selection using CD14-specific immunomagnetic beads. The essentially homogenous starting cell population was cultivated in the presence of granulocyte-macrophage-colony-stimulating factor and interleukin-4 in a closed-bag system in parallel to the standard flask cultivation system. Genetic modification was performed on Day 4. After induction of maturation on Day 5, mature DCs could be harvested and cryopreserved on Day 7. During the cultivation period comparative quality control was performed using flow cytometry, gene expression profiling, and functional assays. RESULTS Both flasks and bags generated mature genetically modified DCs in similar yields. Surface membrane markers, expression profiles, and functional testing results were comparable. The use of a closed-bag system facilitated clinical applicability of genetically modified DCs. CONCLUSIONS The polyolefin bag-based culture system yields DCs qualitatively and quantitatively comparable to the standard flask preparation. All steps including cryopreservation can be performed in a closed system facilitating standardized, safe, and reproducible preparation of therapeutic cells.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the infiltration of S100- and cluster of differentiation 83 (CD83)-positive dendritic cells (DCs) in colorectal carcinoma and adenoma and observe the effect of local immunity on the development of colorectal tumors.
METHODS: Twenty-five colorectal carcinoma patients and 31 colorectal adenoma patients were included in the study. The infiltration of S100+ and CD83+ DCs in tumor, tumor-adjacent and tumor-distant tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry using the streptavidin-peroxidase method.
RESULTS: The number of S100+ DCs and CD83+ DCs were significantly less in colorectal carcinoma than in tumor-adjacent and tumor-distant tissues and colorectal adenoma (S100+ DCs: 15.36 ± 1.78 vs 25.14 ± 2.81, 32.55 ± 2.65 and 33.77 ± 3.06, respectively; CD83+ DCs: 2.50 ± 0.60 vs 4.91 ± 0.51, 5.68 ± 1.14 and 5.39 ± 0.68, respectively; all P < 0.05). The number of S100+ DCs was significantly higher in colorectal adenoma than in tumor-adjacent and tumor-distant tissues (both P < 0.05), while no statistical differences were noted in the number of CD83+ DCs among colorectal adenoma and tumor-adjacent and tumor-distant tissues.
CONCLUSION: Detection of DC infiltration in colorectal tumors is helpful in understanding tumor immune evasion and tumor development.

Abstract
AIM: To find out effects of adefovir dipivoxil (ADV) on the function of dendritic cells (DCs) from peripheral blood of chronic HBV-infected patients in vitro.
METHODS: Monocytes (Mo) were purified from peripheral blood of healthy volunteers and HBV-infected patients with incubation of granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and ADV at different concentrations (20, 100, 500 µg/L) added on day 6. DC's morphology was observed under inverted microscopy and the expressions of CD1a, CD83, CD86 and MHC-DR on DCs were analyzed using FACS. The ability to stimulate the proliferation of allogenic T cells by DCs was detected using methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT). The levels of IL-12 p40+p70 in culture supernatant of DCs were determined using ELISA.
RESULTS: Compared with HBV-infected patient group, a better differentiation of DCs, enhanced proliferation of allogenic T cells and increased secretion of IL-12 p40+p70 were observed in ADV treatment group. The DCs with 100 µg/L ADV had the highest expression of CD1a, CD83, CD86 and MHC-DR, significantly higher than those of DCs without ADV treatment (43.5 ± 5.7 vs 20.6 ± 2.8, 34.6 ± 1.9 vs 16.7 ± 3.4, 40.9 ± 2.8 vs 25.8 ± 6.6, 66.9 ± 5.4 vs 40.7 ± 4.2, all P < 0.05), but all lower than the healthy controls. Differences among the three groups were statistically significant (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: ADV enhances the immune ability of DCs from peripheral blood of HBV-infected patients, suggesting that ADV possibly participates in the immune response through modulation of function of DCs and plays an indirect antivirus role.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the effect of recombinant adenovirus Ad-PD-L1 transfection of donor mouse C57BL/6 (H-2b) dendritic cells on the activation of receptor mouse DBA/2(H-2d) lymphocytes.
METHODS: pShuttle-GFP-CMV(-) plasmid and adenovirus bone plasmid pAdxsi-GFP-CMV-PD-L1 were constructed. The recombinant adenovirus Ad-PD-L1 was packed, amplied and purified. Dendritic cells derived from donor mouse C57BL/6 bone marrow were isolated and cultured. The cells ware divided into 3 groups. Group A and Group B were transfected with recombinant adenovirus Ad-PD-L1-GFP and Ad-GFP respectively, and Group C served as blank control group. The expression of PD-L1 was monitored by GFP fluorescence in the infected cells and identified by Western blot. The lymphocytes of receptor mouse DBA/2 were isolated, and then labeled by carboxyfluorescein succinimidylester (CFSE). After co-cultured with the dendritic cells in the three groups, flow cytometry was used to observe the proliferation and activation of lymphocytes from DBA/2 mice.
RESULTS: Enzyme digestion and sequencing confirmed the successful construction of recombinant adenovirus Ad-PD-L1. After transfection with Ad-PD-L1, PD-L1 expression of dendritic cells was verified by Western blot. The expression of PD-L1 in the dendritic cells infected with Ad-PD-L1 was increased by 37% (P < 0.05). After co-cultured with the lymphocytes from DBA/2 mice, the proliferation and activation of receptor lymphocytes were suppressed remarkably, and the proliferation rate was decreased by 41% as compared with that in the control group.
CONCLUSION: Transfection of donor mouse dendritic cells with recombinant adenovirus suppresses the proliferation and activation of lymphocytes from receptor mice through PD-1/PD-L1 co-stimulatory pathway.

Abstract
AIM To investigate the in vitro effect of entecavir (ETV) on the function of dendritic cells (DCs) derived from chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. METHODS Mononuclear cells were isolated from peripheral blood of patients with CHB. DCs were incubated with RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with fetal bovine serum, IL-4, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). DCs were treated with or without ETV on the fourth day. Cell surface molecules, including CD1a, CD80, CD83 and HLA-DR, were assessed by flow cytometry. Concentrations of IL-6 and IL-12 in the supernatant were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The ability of the generated DCs to stimulate lymphocyte proliferation was observed. RESULTS Compared with CHB control group, the expression levels of CD1a (29.07 +/- 3.20 vs 26.85 +/- 2.80), CD83 (25.66 +/- 3.19 vs 23.21 +/- 3.10), CD80 (28.00 +/- 2.76 vs 25.75 +/- 2.51) and HLA-DR (41.96 +/- 3.81 vs 32.20 +/- 3.04) in ETV-treated group were higher (P < 0.05). ETV-treated group secreted significantly more IL-12 (157.60 +/- 26.85 pg/mL vs 132.60 +/- 22.00 pg/mL (P < 0.05) and had a lower level of IL-6 in the culture supernatant (83.05 +/- 13.88 pg/mL vs 93.60 +/- 13.61 pg/mL, P < 0.05) than CHB control group. The ability of DCs to stimulate the proliferation of allogeneic lymphocytes was increased in ETV-treated group compared with CHB control group (1.53 +/- 0.09 vs 1.42 +/- 0.08, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Entecavir can enhance the biological activity of DCs derived from CHB patients.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate if the nucleoside analogue lamivudine (LAM), a potent inhibitor of HBV replication, could restore the function of dendritic cells derived from patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in an Asian population.
METHODS: Dendritic cells (DCs) derived from mononuclearcytes of patients with chronic HBV infection were cultured in the presence of IL-4, granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factors (GM-CSF) and gradient concentrations of LAM (0-2 mmol/L). Cell morphology was observed under light microscopy. Cell surface molecules, including HLA-DR, CD80, CD83, and CD1α, were analyzed with flow cytometry. The concentrations of IL-6 and IL-12 in the supernatant were assayed by ELISA. T cell proliferation was assayed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT).
RESULTS: The expression of CD1α on DC treated with 0.5 mmol/L LAM (LAM-DC 0.5 mmol/L) was significantly higher than that of DC untreated with LAM (54.1 ± 4.21 vs 33.57 ± 3.14, P < 0.05), and so was the expression of CD83 (20.24 ± 2.51 vs 12.83 ± 2.12, P < 0.05) as well as the expression of HLA-DR (74.5 ± 5.16 vs 52.8 ± 2.51, P < 0.05). Compared with control group, LAM-DC group (0.5 mmol/L) secreted significantly more IL-12 (910 ± 91.5 vs 268 ± 34.3 pg/mL, P < 0.05), had lower levels of IL-6 in the culture supernatant (28 ± 2.6 vs 55 ± 7.36 pg/mL, P < 0.05), markedly enhanced the stimulatory capacity in the allogeneic mixed leukocyte reaction (MLR) (1.87 ± 0.6 vs 1.24 ± 0.51, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: The lower expression of phenotypic molecules and impaired allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction function of dendritic cells derived from patients with HBV infection could be restored in vitro by incubation with LAM.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the effect of entecavir (ETV) on the function of dendritic cells (DC) derived from patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in vitro.
METHODS: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated from CHB patients and healthy controls. After proliferation under induction, the cells were cultured by routine method. Then ETV was added to co-incubate with the cells on the 4th day. On day 8, DC were collected for the detection of phenotypes and mixed lymphocytic reactions.
RESULTS: After 8 d of cultivation, the differentiation of DC in the healthy controls was better than that in ETV-treated group, while ETV-treated group had a better differentiation than CHB group. In comparison with those in the healthy controls, the levels of CD1a (35.73 ± 3.12 vs 62.31 ± 5.22), CD80 (28.19 ± 1.64 vs 45.38 ± 3.10), CD83 (22.24 ± 2.14 vs 40.63 ± 7.21) and HLA-DR (36.74 ± 0.98 vs 56.05 ± 3.89) expression were significantly decreased in CHB group (all P < 0.01). However, the levels of CD83 (27.41 ± 9.23 vs 22.24 ± 2.14, P < 0.05), CD80 (32.67 ± 7.82 vs 28.19 ± 1.64, P < 0.05) and HLA-DR (40.84 ± 5.57 vs 36.74 ± 0.98, P < 0.01) expression were markedly increased in ETV-treated group as compared with those in CHB group. The capacity to stimulate proliferation of the allogeneic lymphocytes in ETV-treated group was higher than that in CHB group (1.53 ± 0.09 vs 1.45 ± 0.12, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Entecavir can enhance the biological activity of DC derived from CHB patients and play an indirect antivirus function by regulating the host's immune system.

J Immunol Methods 2007; 318:30-6. [PMID: 17129586 DOI: 10.1016/j.jim.2006.07.028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 13] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2006] [Revised: 07/04/2006] [Accepted: 07/14/2006] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
The Elutra biomedical device allows semi-automatic enrichment of monocytes by elutriation, using a single-use, closed and cGMP compliant tubing set, in a cost effective way. The procedure has been validated using fresh apheresis products from nonmobilized donors. We here evaluated the possibility of using Elutra to enrich monocytes from frozen/thawed apheresis products collected from mobilized healthy donors. Frozen apheresis products from 6 G CSF mobilized donors were thawed and used in 16 elutriation procedures. We compared the recovery and purity of enriched monocytes using different buffer compositions and elutriation profiles. Elutriated monocytes were cultured to generate mature dendritic cells (DCs). Depending in part of the initial granulocyte contamination in the apheresis product, the use of Desoxyribo Nuclease (DNAse) to avoid aggregation, was needed through only the initial steps or throughout the elutriation process. The average monocyte recovery was 85+/-31%. The average purity was 73+/-9%. The recovery of mature DC at d8 of culture was 20+/-6% of the input monocyte numbers. We conclude that Elutra allows the purification of monocytes from thawed mobilized apheresis. It requires no pre-processing of the cell product before elutriation, and allows the generation of phenotypically mature DC in quantities that are compatible with a clinical use.

Abstract
Alternate serotypes of adenovirus (Ad), including Ads of species B, are being explored to circumvent the disadvantages of Ad serotype 5 gene delivery vectors. Whereas the majority of human Ads utilize the Coxsackievirus and adenovirus receptor (CAR), none of the Ad species B use CAR. Ad species B is further divided into two subspecies, B1 and B2, and utilizes at least two classes of receptors: common Ad species B receptors and B2 specific receptors. CD46 has been implicated as a B2-specific receptor. Ad serotype 3 (Ad3), a member of B1, utilizes CD80 and CD86 as cellular attachment receptors. The receptor-interacting Ad fiber-knob domain is highly homologous among species B Ads. We hypothesized that other members of Ad species B may utilize CD80 and CD86 as cellular attachment receptors. All tested species B members showed specific binding to cells expressing CD80 and CD86, and the Ad fiber-knob domain from both B1 and B2 Ad efficiently blocked CD80- and CD86-mediated infection of Ad3 vectors. Members of both B1 and B2 demonstrated CD80- and CD86-specific infection of CHO cells expressing CD80 and CD86. Therefore, all of the members of Ad species B utilize CD80 and CD86 for infection of cells.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate the effects of lamivudine on the function of dendritic cells derived from patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) in vitro.
METHODS: Dentritic cells (DCs) derived from the monocytes of CHB patients were cultured with interleukin-4 (IL-4) plus granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Three days after being cultured, the cells were divided group A and B. Group A was treated with different concentrations of lamivudine (0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2 mmol/L), while group B served as the control. Cell morphology was observed under light microscope and cell surface molecules including HLA-DR, CD80, CD83, and CD1a were assayed by flow cytometry. The concentrations of IL-6 and IL-12 in the supernatant were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). T cell proliferation induced by DC was detected by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT).
RESULTS: The cells treated with 0.5 mmol/L lamivudine had the highest expression of CD1a, CD83 and HLA-DR, and the expression of CD80 was not significantly different between the cells with and without lamivudine treatment. After treatment with 0.5 mmol/L lamivudine, the expression of CD1a, CD83 and HLA-DR were significantly higher than those of DCs without lamivudine treatment (CD1a: 54.0 ± 9.2 vs 33.6 ± 10.1, P < 0.05; CD83: 20.3 ± 6.1 vs 11.8 ± 6.2, P < 0.05; HLA-DR: 74.5 ± 7.1 vs 52.9 ± 7.7, P < 0.05); the secretion of IL-12 was significantly increased in comparison with that of the control group (810.0 ± 91.5 ng/L vs 268.0 ± 34.3 ng/L, P < 0.05), while the level of IL-6 was lowered markedly (28.1 ± 2.6 ng/L vs 55.3 ± 7.4 ng/L, P < 0. 05); the stimulatory capacity of DCs in the allogeneic mixed leukocyte reaction was markedly enhanced as compared with that of the control group (stimulatory index: 1.9 ± 0.6 vs 1.2 ± 0.5, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Pulsed with lamivudine in certain concentration, the biological activity of DCs derived from CHB patients can be efficiently enhanced.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Breaking immunologic tolerance towards the hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)-associated alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) antigen is possible. The use of this potential for the treatment of immunocompromised HCC patients is limited. In this study, we analyzed whether dendritic cells (DCs) from HCC patients transduced with a human AFP (hAFP)-expressing adenovirus and co-cultured with cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells can induce a strong specific immune response against HCC-cells. METHODS An hAFP-encoding adenovirus (Ad-hAFP) was generated. DCs from healthy donors or patients were transduced at a very high efficacy. Afterwards, DCs were co-cultured with autologous CIK-cells, and their ability to lyse HCC-cells was analyzed. RESULTS AFP-transduced DCs stimulated CIK cells strongly to lyse about 70% of AFP-expressing HCC cells. Cytotoxicity was significantly higher when lymphocytes were co-cultured with Ad-hAFP-transduced DCs than with Ad-mock-transduced DCs, indicating an AFP-specific immune response. More interestingly, CIK cells from patients with AFP-positive HCC could be stimulated to lyse AFP-expressing HCC cells as effectively as CIK cells from healthy individuals and stronger than CIK cells from patients without AFP-expressing HCC. CONCLUSIONS The data demonstrate that patient-derived DCs that were transduced with an AFP-expressing adenovirus and co-cultured with autologous CIK cells induce an AFP-specific, strong immune response against HCC cells. Therefore, this approach may have a potential for an adoptive and/or DC-based immunotherapy for HCC patients.

Abstract
Adenovirus (Ad) infection has been identified as predisposing hosts to the development of pulmonary disease through unknown mechanisms. Lung dendritic cells (DCs) are vital for initiating pulmonary immune responses; however, the effects of Ad infection on primary lung DC have not been studied. In contrast to the effects on bone marrow- and monocyte-derived DCs, the current study shows that Ad infection of murine BALB/c lung DCs in vitro and in vivo suppresses DC-induced T-cell proliferation. The effect of Ad on DCs was not due to a downregulation of major histocompatibility complex or costimulatory molecules. Analysis of the production of interleukin-12 (IL-12), alpha interferon (IFN-alpha), and IFN-gamma by the Ad-infected DCs shows no significant differences over noninfected control lung DCs. Ad-induced suppression was not due to a deficiency of IL-2 or other DC-secreted factors and was dependent on viral protein synthesis, as UV irradiation of Ad abrogated the suppressive effect. Results suggest that Ad-infected DCs induce T cells to be nonresponsive to IL-2 during primary coculture, as the addition of IL-2 in secondary cultures recovered T-cell proliferation. In vivo studies supported in vitro results showing that Ad infection resulted in lung T cells with decreased proliferative ability. This study demonstrates that Ad infection induces local immunoincompetence by altering DC-T-cell interactions.

Abstract
Recombinant adenoviruses (rAd) are efficient tools for genetic modification of human dendritic cells (DC) in vitro. Infection of DCs by rAd encoding beta-galactosidase (betagal) results in partial maturation of DCs, as witnessed by the upregulation of major histocompatibility complex and costimulatory molecules. Accordingly, these DCs are more potent stimulators of Th1-type proliferative responses. We now demonstrate that infection of immature DCs with rAd encoding human interleukin (IL)-10 results in the secretion by the DCs of large amounts of IL-10, while not affecting expression of activation markers indicative of partial DC maturation. In contrast to rAd-betagal-infected DCs, rAdIL-10-infected DCs are very poor stimulators of monoclonal and polyclonal Th1-type responses. Instead, stimulation of nonpolarized CD4+ T-cell cultures with rAdIL-10-infected DCs selectively activates and expands an IL-10-producing CD4+ T-cell subset capable of suppressing Th1 responses in vitro. Our data argue that rAd-infected human DCs genetically engineered to produce IL-10 may be exploited for the modulation of harmful Th1-type responses in transplantation and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) are promising tools for the immunotherapy of cancer. The induction of tumor-specific T cells and clinical regressions have already been observed in early phase I/II vaccination trials. As DC vaccination is now facing trials with larger patient collectives it becomes increasingly important to obtain large numbers of cells suitable for therapeutic applications under labor- and cost-effective conditions. We describe here a procedure that uses a novel cell separator (Elutra, Gambro BCT) to enrich monocytes from an entire apheresis product within one hour. Cells are separated on the basis of size and to a lesser extent density, by elutriation in a 40-ml conical chamber. The total monocyte recovery following elutriation (n = 6) was 98.53% (+/-8.07%), the recovery in the monocyte-rich fraction 75.45% (+/-11.31%), and the mean purity 82.95% (+/-6.01%). These monocytes can be cultured either in conventional culture dishes or in closed cell culture bags and differentiated, by using GM-CSF+IL-4 followed by a maturation cocktail composed of IL-1beta+IL-6+TNF-alpha+PGE2, into fully mature DC. The Elutra separator allows for fast and easy enrichment of monocytes within a closed system. Subsequently, elutriated monocytes can be successfully cultured into phenotypically and functionally mature DC for immunotherapeutic approaches. The method neither requires a density gradient step to enrich PBMC from leucapheresis products nor does it apply (xenogeneic) antibodies to target monocytes. Isolation of monocytes with Elutra may greatly facilitate future DC-based vaccination approaches.

Abstract
The use of tumor antigen-loaded dendritic cells (DC) is one of the most promising approaches to inducing a tumor-specific immune response. We compared electroporation of mRNA to lentiviral transduction for the delivery of tumor antigens to human monocyte-derived and murine bone marrow-derived DC. Both lentiviral transduction and mRNA electroporation induced eGFP expression in on average 81% of human DC. For murine DC, eGFP mRNA electroporation (62%) proved to be more efficient than lentiviral transduction (47%). When we used tNGFR as a transgene we observed lentiviral pseudotransduction that overestimated lentiviral efficiency. Neither gene transfer method had an adverse effect on viability, phenotype, or allostimulatory capacity of either human or murine DC. Yet, the mRNA-electroporated DC showed a reduced production of IL-12p70 compared to their lentivirally transduced and unmodified counterparts. Human Ii80MAGE-A3-modified DC and murine Ii80tOVA-modified DC were able to present antigenic epitopes in the context of MHC class I and class II. Both types of modified murine DC were able to induce OVA-specific cytotoxic T cells in vivo; however, the mRNA-electroporated DC were less potent. Our data indicate that this may be related to their impaired IL-12 production.

Abstract
In this study, we compared dendritic cells (DCs) differentiated from positively selected monocytes (CD14-DCs) to DCs differentiated from adherence-selected monocytes (adh-DCs) with emphasis on lentiviral transduction. Using a second-generation, triple-helix containing, self-inactivating lentiviral vector at a multiplicity of infection (MOI) of 15, we observed enhanced transduction of CD14-DCs (72.8 +/- 5.3%, mean fluorescence intensity [MFI] = 166 +/- 76) compared to adh-DCs (32.3 +/- 13.1%, MFI = 119 +/- 76, n = 5). More importantly, the efficiency to transduce adh-DCs was significantly increased when monocytes were incubated with antiCD14 antibody coupled beads, anti-CD14 antibodies, or lipopolysaccharide (LPS), reaching transduction efficiencies up to 86.6%, 53.3%, and 80.9%, respectively. We showed that this enhanced transduction was correlated to an activation of the monocytes, characterized by the up regulation of the cytokines interleukin (IL)-1beta and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha and the de novo synthesis of IL-6 and IL-10. However, the enhanced transduction of immature CD14-DCs was not correlated with a progression in the cell cycle from G(0) to G(1). We further showed that CD14-DCs were phenotypically comparable to adh-DCs. Functional analysis revealed that there were no differences in allostimulatory capacity, production of IL-12 p70 on CD40 ligation or expression of IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12, and TNF-alpha as evaluated by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Finally, we showed that lentivirally transduced CD14-DCs were equally capable as adh-DCs in stimulating MAGE-A3 antigen-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in vitro.

Abstract
Swine monocytes constitute a heterogeneous cell population containing subsets with distinct functional capacities or representing different maturational stages. Based on the expression of CD163, we have recently identified two monocyte subpopulations. In this study, we investigate the ability of both CD163- and CD163+ monocytes to differentiate into dendritic cells (DCs) in the presence of GM-CSF and IL-4. Monocyte differentiation into DC is accompanied by an up-regulation of the expression of swine leukocyte antigen (SLA) I, SLA II and CD80/86 molecules, and a decrease in the expression of CD14, CD16 and CD163. These DC express the pan-myeloid marker SWC3 and display typical dendritic cytoplasmic projections. When monocytes are split into CD163+ and CD163- cells, both subsets give rise to DC. However, compared to CD163- monocyte-derived DC (MoDC), CD163+ MoDC appear to have reached a more advanced stage of maturation, expressing higher levels of SLA II and CD80/86 and inducing more efficiently proliferation of T cells to recall antigens and alloantigens.

Abstract
Adenovirus type 5 (Ad5) is able to induce an efficient CD8+ T lymphocyte (CTL) response against a transgene product, a property thought to be linked to its ability to transduce dendritic cells (DCs). Little, however, is known about the capacity of Ad5 to interact with DCs in the presence of specific antibodies, although most people test positive for antibodies directed against Ad5. In the present study, we found that in the presence of Ad5 antibodies, a large fraction of Ad5 binds very efficiently to DCs, and that this binding is FcgammaRII/FcgammaRIII dependent. Nevertheless, in the presence of high levels of antibodies against the whole virion, Ad5 entry was inhibited. Increased binding led to increased entry in DCs in the presence of fiber-specific antibodies or in the presence of low amounts of a whole antiserum raised against whole virions, showing that the relative concentration of antibodies directed against fiber and penton base plays a major role in entry efficacy. Nevertheless, mice previously immunized with virions or purified fiber developed a lower transgene-specific CD8+ T cell response than naive mice, although their serum appeared to increase virus entry into DCs in vitro.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) have been shown to require a degree of maturation to stimulate antigen-specific, type 1 cytotoxic T lymphocytes in numerous murine models. Limited data in humans suggest that immature DCs (DC) can induce tolerance, yet a variety of nonmatured DC used clinically have induced antigen-specific type 1 T cells in vivo to various tumor-associated antigens. Use of adenovirus to engineer DCs is an efficient method for delivery of entire genes to DC, but the data on the biologic effects of viral transduction are contradictory. The authors demonstrate that DCs transduced with adenovirus (AdV) clearly become more mature by the phenotypic criterion of upregulation of CD83 and downregulation of CD14. Transduced DCs also decrease production of IL-10, and a subset of transduced DCs produce increased levels of IL-12 p70. This level of maturation is superior to that achieved by treatment of these cells with tumor necrosis factor-alpha or interferon-alpha but less pronounced than with CD40L trimer or CD40L + interferon-gamma. Maturation by AdV transduction alone leads to efficient stimulation of antigen-specific T cells from both healthy donors and patients with advanced cancer using two defined human tumor-associated antigens, MART-1 and AFP. Given the pivotal role of DCs in immune activation, it is important to understand the direct biologic effects of AdV on DCs, as well as the impact these biologic changes have on the stimulation of antigen-specific T cells. This study has important implications for the design of DC-based clinical trials.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) genetically engineered to express high levels of Fas ligand (FasL/CD95L) have been demonstrated to delete T cells in an antigen specific manner in several different animal models in vivo. However, the immunomodulatory capacity of primary human FasL-expressing Killer-DC has not been determined. Therefore, human Killer-DC were generated from mature monocyte-derived DC using the inducible CRE/LoxP adenoviral vector system, and the immunoregulatory capacity of these cells was analyzed in cocultures with primary human T cells in vitro. Combined transductions of DC by AdloxPFasL and AxCANCre resulted in FasL expression in > 70% of DC without affecting the mature phenotype. Proliferation of activated primary human T cells was inhibited up to 80% in cocultures with FasL-expressing DC but not EGFP-transduced DC, which was due to induction of apoptosis in activated but not resting CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Apoptosis induced by Killer-DC could be blocked by an anti-FasL-antibody in a dose dependent fashion. The present results demonstrate that FasL-expressing Killer-DC eliminate activated but not resting primary human CD4+ and CD8+ T cells by induction of Fas-mediated apoptosis supporting the concept to apply Killer-DC as a novel strategy for the treatment of T cell-dependent autoimmune disease and allograft rejection in humans.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) are pivotal regulators of immune reactivity and immune tolerance. The observation that DCs can recruit naive T cells has invigorated cancer immunology and led to the proposal of DCs as the basis for vaccines designed for the treatment of cancer. Designing effective strategies to load DCs with antigens is a challenging field of research. The successful realization of gene transfer to DCs will be highly dependent on the employed vector system. Here, we review various viral and non-viral gene transfer systems, and discuss their distinct characteristics and possible advantages and disadvantages in respect to their use in DC-based immunotherapy.

Abstract
We investigated the mechanism of adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5)-mediated maturation of bone marrow-derived murine dendritic cells (DC) using (i) Ad5 vectors with wild-type capsid (AdE1 degrees, AdGFP); (ii) Ad5 vector mutant deleted of the fiber C-terminal knob domain (AdGFPDeltaknob); and (iii) capsid components isolated from Ad5-infected cells or expressed as recombinant proteins, hexon, penton, penton base, full-length fiber, fiber knob, and fiber mutants. We found that penton capsomer (penton base linked to its fiber projection), full-length fiber protein, and its isolated knob domain were all capable of inducing DC maturation, whereas no significant DC maturation was observed for hexon or penton base alone. This capacity was severely reduced for AdGFPDeltaknob and for fiber protein deletion mutants lacking the beta-stranded region F of the knob (residues Leu-485-Thr-486). The DC maturation effect was fully retained in a recombinant fiber protein deleted of the HI loop (FiDeltaHI), a fiber (Fi) deletion mutant that failed to trimerize, suggesting that the fiber knob-mediated DC activation did not depend on the integrity of the HI loop and on the trimeric status of the fiber. Interestingly, peptide-pulsed DC that had been stimulated with Ad5 knob protein induced a potent CD8+ T cell response in vivo.

Abstract
Therapeutic vaccination aims at a strong stimulation of antigen-specific CD8(+) T-cells, so that they differentiate into effectors active in vivo against antigenic targets. Two adenovirus vectors (Ad) encoding two HLA-A*0201-restricted HIV epitope sequences (pol 476 and pol 589) were constructed. The Ad differ by the presence or absence of a ubiquitin monomer sequence (AdUb(+) and AdUb(-)). The effect of transgene product ubiquitination was analyzed on (1) in vivo, the immunization of Ad vaccinated HLA-A*0201 humanized HHD mice and (2) in vitro, the presentation of the transgene encoded peptides by transduced human dendritic cells (DC). In vivo, we found that immunization of humanized HHD mice with AdUb(+) elicited a transgene product-specific interferon (INF)-gamma CD8(+) T-cell response detectable by enzyme-linked immunospot (ELISPOT), whereas the AdUb(-) construction did not. Antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) were also generated in HHD mice immunized with AdUb(+) and not with AdUb(-). In vitro, using human AdUb(+)-transduced DC, a sizeable expansion of pol 476 and pol 589 tetramer positive CD8(+) T cells as well as CD8(+) CTL were obtained in healthy donors. Compared to AdUb(-)-transduced DC, AdUb(+)-transduced DC triggered a higher number of pol 476-specific IFN-gamma-secreting CD8(+) T cells. In agreement, AdUb(+) transduced DC, used as target in a (51)Cr-release assay, were more efficiently lysed by peptide-specific CTL than AdUb(-)-transduced DC. In conclusion, the addition of an ubiquitin sequence to the adenoviral transgene, used as an antigen source, resulted in both in vivo enhanced CD8(+) T-cell immunogenicity in HHD mice and in vitro increased HLA class I-restricted presentation of encoded peptides by human DC.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) constitute a specialised system of antigen-presenting cells with a high capacity to induce and to modulate the immune response against microbial, tumour and self-antigens. New techniques to generate large amounts of DCs together with the molecular identification of human tumour-associated antigens (TAA) have opened new ways for antigen-specific cancer immunotherapies. DCs loaded either with TAA-derived MHC class I-specific synthetic peptides or with whole tumour cell preparations have been used in numerous clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of DCs in patients with cancer. However, the disadvantages of DCs pulsed with synthetic peptides from TAA include the uncertainty regarding the longevity of antigen presentation, the restriction by the patient's haplotype and the relatively low number of known MHC class I and in particular of MHC class II helper cell-related epitopes. Whole tumour cell preparations are difficult to standardise, and they depend on the availability of tumour cells. Thus the utilisation of viral vectors genetically modified to express TAA for the ex vivo transduction of DCs is an attractive alternative to achieve a MHC I- and MHC II-restricted presentation of tumoural antigens. To induce protective anti-tumoural immune response an increasing number of modified viral vectors have been used to transduce DCs. Although high transduction efficacies were reported for several viruses, analysis of the interaction of viral vectors with DCs has revealed several viral mechanisms that interfere with main functions of DCs, dampening somewhat the initial optimism in the field of DC transduction. However, promising results with different vectors have been achieved. In this review we summarise available data and discuss advantages and drawbacks of currently available vectors.

Abstract
Since dendritic cells (DCs) play a critical role in establishing antigen-specific adaptive immune responses, in the past several years, therapeutic strategies using genetically modified DCs against cancer and infectious diseases have attracted increasing attention. In the present study, we demonstrated that RGD fiber-mutant adenovirus vector (AdRGD) exhibited markedly superior gene transduction efficiency in mouse bone marrow-derived DCs (mBM-DCs) compared to conventional adenovirus vector (Ad). Likewise, this vector exhibited superior major histocompatibility complex class I-restricted presentation of antigen derived from the delivered gene in mBM-DCs. In order to investigate the effect of Ad-infection on the DC-differentiation process (maturation), we used three types of AdRGD and three conventional Ad to transduce mBM-DCs. These vectors carried either no transgene, LacZ gene, or gp100 gene. Infection by any of the Ad vectors enhanced the expression of MHC class II molecules in mBM-DCs. CD80, CD86, and CD40 expression and IL-12 production were more efficient in AdRGD-infected mBM-DCs than in conventional Ad-infected cells. Contrary to our expectations, endocytotic activity of mBM-DCs decreased only slightly upon Ad-infection, whereas antigen uptake by lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-driven mature mBM-DCs was significantly impaired. However, our reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis revealed that Ad-infection resulted in the upregulation of the chemokine receptor CCR7 and downregulation of CCR6 in mBM-DCs and LPS-stimulated cells. We, therefore, concluded that Ad-infection directly influenced DC-maturation, although the effects were milder than under LPS-stimulation. In addition, this change in the immunologic properties of DCs resulted primarily from an increase in the number of Ad-particles capable of invading the cells rather than from the expression of foreign genes. AdRGD-infection caused greater induction of maturation than conventional Ad-infection, irrespective of the type of transgene inserted.

Abstract
Using recombinant adenoviruses (Ads) to target host dendritic cells (DCs) presents an attractive prospect for immunization. The efficacy of commonly used human Ad-derived gene transfer vectors for antigen delivery in humans is often compromised by preexisting anti-Ad immunity, acquired by the majority of human population as a result of frequent naturally occurring virus infections. As an alternative vector we propose chimpanzee-derived recombinant adenoviruses, which are poorly neutralized by human sera. In the present study we examine the ability of one such vector, AdC68, to transduce and activate human monocyte-derived DCs in culture. We found that AdC68 could efficiently transduce both immature and mature DCs at levels similar to those by the human serotype 5 Ad recombinant. Exposure of immature DCs to AdC68 did not alter the expression of activation and maturation marker molecules on the cell surface. Nevertheless, the transduction induced DCs to secrete interferon alpha and interleukin (IL)-6, but not IL-12 or tumor necrosis factor alpha. In addition, AdC68-transduced immature DCs could stimulate proliferation of autologous T lymphocytes. This is the first report describing a chimpanzee-derived recombinant Ad as a vector for transduction of human DCs.

Abstract
In recent years, vaccination strategies using antigen-presenting cells (APC) have been under investigation. Antigen delivery using genetic immunization through ex vivo transduction of dendritic cells (DC) is supposed to enhance the induction of antitumor responses in humans by activating a broad range of peptide-specific CD8+ T cells. In this study, we compared the potential of adenoviral (Ad)-transduced versus peptide-pulsed DC to induce melanoma-antigen (Ag)-specific T-cell responses in vitro. Whereas gp100-peptide-pulsed DC induced long-lasting specific CD8+ T-cell responses against single peptides, Ad-transduced DC induced broad and strong, specific immunity against various peptides of the gp100-Ag. Surprisingly, several restimulations led to decreasing gp100-specific and in parallel to increasing anti-adenoviral T-cell responses. Nevertheless, those anti-adenoviral T-cell responses provided an "adjuvant" effect by inducing an early release of high amounts of IL-2/IFN-gamma, therewith enhancing CTL induction in the initiation phase. Based on these data, we suggest a prime/boost vaccination strategy in melanoma patients--combining the use of Ad-DC and peptide-pulsed DC--to obtain efficient and long-term antitumor T-cell responses.

Abstract
Replication of immunodeficiency viruses (HIV-1 and SIV) in immature dendritic cell (DC)-T cell cocultures is dependent on Nef. In contrast, mature DCs promote the replication of wild-type and nef-defective SIV in concert with CD4(+) T cells. Transcription factor activation occurs on DC maturation and this study aimed to investigate whether Nef triggers similar events in immature DCs, rendering them more like mature DCs. Recombinant HIV nef-expressing adenovirus was used to selectively introduce nef into immature human or macaque DCs. These data provide the first evidence that the expression of HIV nef in immature DCs induced selective activation of STAT3 and, to a lesser extent, NF-kappaB. This highlights how Nef can signal primary immature DCs, suggesting one way in which Nef may modulate immature DCs to drive virus replication in the DC-T cell milieu.

Abstract
The fundamental role of dendritic cells (DC) in initiating and directing the primary immune response is well established. Furthermore, it is now accepted that DC may be useful in new vaccination strategies for preventing certain malignant and infectious diseases. As blood DC (BDC) physiology differs from that of the DC homologues generated in vitro from monocyte precursors, it is becoming more relevant to consider BDC for therapeutic interventions. Until recently, protocols for the isolation of BDC were laborious and inefficient; therefore, their use for investigative cancer immunotherapy is not widespread. In this study, we carefully documented BDC counts, yields and subsets during apheresis (Cobe Spectra), the initial and essential procedure in creating a BDC isolation platform for cancer immunotherapy. We established that an automated software package (Version 6.0 AutoPBPC) provides an operator-independent reliable source of mononuclear cells (MNC) for BDC preparation. Further, we observed that BDC might be recovered in high yields, often greater than 100% relative to the number of circulating BDC predicted by blood volume. An average of 66 million (range, 17-179) BDC per 10-l procedure were obtained, largely satisfying the needs for immunization. Higher yields were possible on total processed blood volumes of 15 l. BDC were not activated by the isolation procedure and, more importantly, both BDC subsets (CD11c(+)CD123(low) and CD11c(-)CD123(high)) were equally represented. Finally, we established that the apheresis product could be used for antibody-based BDC immunoselection and demonstrated that fully functional BDC can be obtained by this procedure.

Abstract
Gene delivery to dendritic cells (DCs) could represent a powerful method of inducing potent, long-lasting immunity. Although recent studies underline the intense interest in lentiviral vector-mediated monocyte-derived DC transduction, efficient gene transfer methods currently require high multiplicities of infection and are not compatible with clinical constraints. We have designed a strategy to optimize the efficiency and clinical relevance of this approach. Initially, using a third generation lentiviral vector expressing green fluorescent protein, we found that modifying the vector design, the DC precursor cell type, and the DC differentiation stage for transduction results in sustained transgene expression in 75-85% of immature DCs (transduction at a multiplicity of infection of 8). This high efficiency was reproducible among different donors irrespective of whether DCs were expanded from fresh or cryopreserved CD14(+) precursors. We then developed procedures that bypass the need for highly concentrated lentiviral preparations and the addition of polybrene to achieve efficient transduction. DCs transduced under these conditions retain their immature phenotype and immunostimulatory potential in both autologous and allogeneic settings. Furthermore, genetically modified DCs maintain their ability to respond to maturation signals and secrete bioactive IL-12, indicating that they are fully functional. Finally, the level of transgene expression is preserved in the therapeutically relevant mature DCs, demonstrating that there is neither promoter-silencing nor loss of transduced cells during maturation. The novel approach described should advance lentiviral-mediated monocyte-derived DC transduction towards a clinical reality.

Abstract
The major goal of therapeutic cancer vaccine trials is to mediate tumor regression. However, it is critically important to devise in vitro immunological assays that correlate with clinical outcome, for use as surrogate markers of vaccine efficacy. To date, clinical emphasis has been placed on peptide vaccines, but trends towards the use of more complex immunogens such as whole proteins require the development of efficient and sensitive methods for monitoring their immunological effects. In the context of a vaccination trial using full-length tyrosinase (Ty) to immunize patients with metastatic melanoma, a monitoring technique was developed in which autologous dendritic cells (DC) infected with a recombinant adenovirus encoding the Ty protein were used to assess the Ty-specific reactivity of fresh peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) collected from patients at different intervals during therapy. Quantitative real-time RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to measure the production of cytokine mRNA by T cells following a 2.5-h incubation with Ty-expressing DC. Two out of ten patients studied demonstrated Ty protein-specific reactivity that increased during and after the period of vaccination. While one of these patients also reacted to an HLA-A1-compatible Ty peptide, the second did not recognize any of the known Ty epitopes, highlighting the importance of this technique for monitoring the effects of complex vaccines.

Abstract
Successful immunization requires that mature dendritic cells (mDCs) prime T cells in secondary lymphoid tissue (LT). Previously, the authors have shown that LT T cell activation has an increased costimulatory threshold for a proliferative response as compared with peripheral blood (PB) T cells. Therefore, to optimize mDC immunogenicity, DC maturation was studied using LT T cells as responders. While mDCs obtained with soluble CD40Ligand (sCD40L) or a sCD40L/IFNgamma combination similarly expressed the CD83 and CCR7 molecules on their membrane, only the latter secreted IL-12. sCD40L/IFNgamma mDCs, as compared with sCD40L mDCs, enhanced allogeneic LT T cell proliferation, LT CD4+ cell IFNgamma production and LT CD8+ cell cytotoxicity. Enhancement could be predominantly ascribed to IL-12 secreted by sCD40L/IFNgamma mDCs and to additional costimulatory signals as shown remarkably in the IFNgamma response when IL-12 was neutralized. Therefore, in addition to their membrane phenotype, mDCs to be used in immunization protocols should be assessed for IL-12 secretion as a surrogate marker for an optimum costimulatory potential.

Abstract
There is a growing interest in using dendritic cells (DC) for vaccine approaches in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. This requires a reproducible method for the generation of large numbers of DC in a closed culture system suitable for clinical use and conforming to the current guidelines of good manufacturing practices. We designed a system in which the DC were generated in a closed system from adherent monocytes using Cell Factories (DC-CF). Monocytes were enriched from apheresis products by adherence and then cultured in the presence of AB serum or autologous plasma and GM-CSF and IL-4 for 6 days. The DC generated in Cell Factories were extensively compared to research-grade DC generated in conventional tissue culture flasks (DC-TCF). At day 6, the immature DC were harvested and the yield, the viability, the immunophenotype and the functional characteristics of the DC were compared.DC-CF and DC-TCF showed similar viability and purity and scored equally when tested for stability, dextran and latex bead uptake, in MLR and in the activation of influenza-specific memory cells after electroporation with influenza matrix protein 1 (IMP1) mRNA. These data indicated that large numbers of functional clinical-grade DC could be generated from adherent cells in a closed system using Cell Factories.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC), potent antigen presenting cells capable of activating both naïve and primed T cells, are currently being pursued clinically in the development of cancer vaccines. Variations in the literature regarding DC source, culture conditions, maturation state, dose, and route of immunization make comparisons of clinical trial data difficult. In order to define and optimize the culture conditions for DC generation, we have performed a careful comparison of two culture methods, as well as different methods of DC maturation. Our studies demonstrate that high viability DC can be produced and matured in gas permeable hydrophobic culture bags. These cells express surface molecules characteristic of DC and have superior yield, viability, and function to cells cultured in plastic tissue culture flasks. These results suggest that hydrophobic culture bags are ideal for the preparation of clinical DC vaccines, as DC can be generated, antigen-loaded, and matured in a closed system, a scheme we have found to be superior to previously described flask culture methods.

Abstract
Adenovirus-mediated gene delivery via the intramuscular route efficiently promotes an immune response against the transgene product. In this study, a recombinant adenovirus vector encoding beta-galactosidase (Ad beta Gal) was used to transduce dendritic cells (DC), which are antigen-presenting cells, as well as myoblasts and endothelial cells (EC), neither of which present antigens. C57BL/6 mice received a single intramuscular injection of Ad beta Gal-transduced DC, EC, or myoblasts and were then monitored for anti-beta-galactosidase (anti-beta-Gal) antibody production, induction of gamma interferon-secreting CD8(+) T cells, and protection against melanoma tumor cells expressing beta-Gal. While all transduced cell types were able to elicit an antibody response against the transgene product, the specific isotypes were distinct, with exclusive production of immunoglobulin G2a (IgG2a) antibodies following injection of transduced DC and EC versus equivalent IgG1 and IgG2a responses in mice inoculated with transduced myoblasts. Transduced DC induced a strong ex vivo CD8(+) T-cell response at a level of 50% of the specific response obtained with the Ad beta Gal control. In contrast, this response was 6- to 10-fold-lower in animals injected with transduced myoblasts and EC. Accordingly, only animals injected with transduced DC were protected against a beta-Gal tumor challenge. Thus, in order to induce a strong and protective immune response to an adenovirus-encoded transgene product, it is necessary to transduce cells of dendritic lineage. Importantly, it will be advantageous to block the transduction of DC for adenovirus-based gene therapy strategies.

Abstract
To address the effect of adenovirus (Ad) gene transfer vector transduction on the diverse functions of dendritic cells, we used an Ad vector encoding no transgene (AdNull) to transduce mouse bone-marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDC). Initial experiments using an Ad vector encoding a marker gene (AdGFP, jellyfish green fluorescent protein) showed that the optimal ratio of infectious Ad particles to each cell was 100, when both transgene expression and resultant BMDC viability were taken into account. Exposure to AdNull resulted in upregulation of both surface activation markers (CD40, MHC class II, B7.1, B7.2, ICAM-1) and IL-12 expression by BMDC. AdNull activation of BMDC was observed in multiple strains of mice. Despite this, AdNull-transduced BMDC displayed only modestly impaired antigen uptake ability, as demonstrated in macropinocytosis and phagocytosis assays, in vitro. However, Ad-modified BMDC migrated to regional lymph nodes five times more efficiently than sham-transduced BMDC in vivo. In addition, Ad transduction significantly enhanced the ability of BMDC to present a model peptide antigen to T-lymphocyte hybridoma cells at low BMDC:T cell ratios. We conclude that Ad modification, in and of itself, induces a state of activation in mouse BMDC. This activation, albeit mild compared with that induced by other stimuli, produces measurable effects of the specific immunological functions of these antigen-presenting cells.

Abstract
To determine whether infection by a model virus is capable of initiating dendritic cell (DC) differentiation, human CD14(+) peripheral blood monocytes were infected with replication-defective type 5 adenovirus. Under serum-free conditions, this resulted in differentiation of a majority of cells toward a DC phenotype within 36 to 48 hours, without the need for cytokine-induced predifferentiation. Infection induced DC morphology and altered the expression of surface markers, including loss of CD14, de novo induction of CD83 and CD25, and strongly augmented expression of CD86, CD80, CD40, and HLA-DR and HLA class I molecules. Differentiated cells maintained immunophenotype without loss of viability for at least 2 days after removal of the differentiation agent and cytokines. A greatly enhanced capacity to stimulate T-lymphocyte alloproliferation and increased expression of the DC-associated transcription factor RelB were observed. Virus without transgene was found to induce changes similar to transgene-expressing viruses. RelB up-regulation and DC immunophenotype were sensitive to the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine, suggesting a critical role for nuclear factor kappaB. RNAse protection assays revealed elevated levels of messenger RNA for a number of chemokines and cytokines associated with DCs. Finally, during differentiation, adenovirus-infected monocytes were shown to secrete chemokines and cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). Furthermore, a TNF-alpha-neutralizing antibody inhibited the expression of some DC surface markers, indicating a contributing role for this cytokine in the adenovirus-induced differentiation of DC from monocytes. These findings have implications for the biology of monocytes as precursors to DCs and also for the use of recombinant adenovirus in vaccines or gene therapy.

Abstract
The efficiency of dendritic cells (DC) as immunotherapeutic vaccines critically depends on optimal delivery of target Ags. Although DC modified by subgroup C type 5 recombinant adenoviruses (rAd5) provide encouraging results, their clinical application is hampered by the need for high viral titers to achieve sufficient gene transfer, due to the lack of the Ad5 fiber receptor. We now demonstrate that rAd5 carrying subgroup B Ad fibers are up to 100-fold more potent than classical rAd5 for gene transfer and expression in human DC, rAd5 with a type 35 fiber (rAd5F35) being the most efficient vector. This improvement relates to a greater and faster virus entry and to an increased transgene expression especially following DC maturation. Furthermore, these new vectors possess enhanced synergistic effects with other activation signals to trigger DC maturation. Consequently, rAd5F35-infected DC engineered to express the gp100 melanoma-associated Ag largely exceed rAd5-infected DC in activating gp100-specific CTL. Finally, the DC infection pattern of rAd5F35 is fully conserved when DC are in the vicinity of primary skin-derived fibroblasts, suggesting this vector as a candidate for in vivo targeting of DC. Thus, subgroup B fiber-modified rAd5 constitute a major breakthrough in the exploitation of ex vivo rAd-targeted DC as clinically relevant vaccines and may also be suitable for in vivo genetic modification of DC.
