Galectin-9 interacts with Vamp-3 to regulate cytokine secretion in dendritic cells. Cell Mol Life Sci 2023; 80:306. [PMID: 37755527 PMCID: PMC10533640 DOI: 10.1007/s00018-023-04954-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2023] [Revised: 08/20/2023] [Accepted: 09/06/2023] [Indexed: 09/28/2023]
Abstract
Intracellular vesicle transport is essential for cellular homeostasis and is partially mediated by SNARE proteins. Endosomal trafficking to the plasma membrane ensures cytokine secretion in dendritic cells (DCs) and the initiation of immune responses. Despite its critical importance, the specific molecular components that regulate DC cytokine secretion are poorly characterised. Galectin-9, a ß-galactoside-binding protein, has emerged as a novel cellular modulator although its exact intracellular roles in regulating (immune) cell homeostasis and vesicle transport are virtually unknown. We investigated galectin-9 function in primary human DCs and report that galectin-9 is essential for intracellular cytokine trafficking to the cell surface. Galectin-9-depleted DCs accumulate cytokine-containing vesicles in the Golgi complex that eventually undergo lysosomal degradation. We observed galectin-9 to molecularly interact with Vamp-3 using immunoprecipitation-mass-spectrometry and identified galectin-9 was required for rerouting Vamp-3-containing endosomes upon DC activation as the underlying mechanism. Overall, this study identifies galectin-9 as a necessary mechanistic component for intracellular trafficking. This may impact our general understanding of vesicle transport and sheds new light into the multiple roles galectins play in governing cell function.

CD83 acts as immediate early response gene in activated macrophages and exhibits specific intracellular trafficking properties. Biochem Biophys Res Commun 2023; 647:37-46.

Abstract
Macrophages (MΦ) are remarkably plastic cells, which assume phenotypes in every shade between a pro-inflammatory classical activation, and anti-inflammatory or resolving activation. Therefore, elucidation of mechanisms involved in shaping MΦ plasticity and function is key to understand their role during immunological balance. The immune-modulating CD83 molecule is expressed on activated immune cells and various tissue resident MΦ, rendering it an interesting candidate for affecting MΦ biology. However, in-depth analyses of the precise kinetics and trafficking of CD83 within pro-inflammatory, LPS activated bone-marrow-derived MΦ have not been performed. In this study, we show that activation with LPS leads to a very fast and strong, but transient increase of CD83 expression on these cells. Its expression peaks within 2 h of stimulation and is thereby faster than the early activation antigen CD69. To trace the CD83 trafficking through MΦs, we employed multiple inhibitors, thereby revealing a de novo synthesis and transport of the protein to the cell surface followed by lysosomal degradation, all within 6 h. Moreover, we found a similar expression kinetic and trafficking in human monocyte derived MΦ. This places CD83 at a very early point of MΦ activation suggesting an important role in decisions regarding the subsequent cellular fate.

Abstract
We have implemented an improved, cost-effective, and highly reproducible protocol for a simple and rapid differentiation of the human leukemia monocytic cell line THP-1 into surrogates for immature dendritic cells (iDCs) or mature dendritic cells (mDCs). The successful differentiation of THP-1 cells into iDCs was determined by high numbers of cells expressing the DC activation markers CD54 (88%) and CD86 (61%), and the absence of the maturation marker CD83. The THP-1-derived mDCs are characterized by high numbers of cells expressing CD54 (99%), CD86 (73%), and the phagocytosis marker CD11b (49%) and, in contrast to THP-1-derived iDCs, CD83 (35%) and the migration marker CXCR4 (70%). Treatment of iDCs with sensitizers, such as NiSO4 and DNCB, led to high expression of CD54 (97%/98%; GMFI, 3.0/3.2-fold induction) and CD86 (64%/96%; GMFI, 4.3/3.2-fold induction) compared to undifferentiated sensitizer-treated THP-1 (CD54, 98%/98%; CD86, 55%/96%). Thus, our iDCs are highly suitable for toxicological studies identifying potential sensitizing or inflammatory compounds. Furthermore, the expression of CD11b, CD83, and CXCR4 on our iDC and mDC surrogates could allow studies investigating the molecular mechanisms of dendritic cell maturation, phagocytosis, migration, and their use as therapeutic targets in various disorders, such as sensitization, inflammation, and cancer.

Abstract
The CD83 molecule has been identified to be expressed on numerous activated immune cells, including B and T lymphocytes, monocytes, dendritic cells, microglia, and neutrophils. Both isoforms of CD83, the membrane-bound as well as its soluble form are topic of intensive research investigations. Several studies revealed that CD83 is not a typical co-stimulatory molecule, but rather plays a critical role in controlling and resolving immune responses. Moreover, CD83 is an essential factor during the differentiation of T and B lymphocytes, and the development and maintenance of tolerance. The identification of its interaction partners as well as signaling pathways have been an enigma for the last decades. Here, we report the latest data on the expression, structure, and the signaling partners of CD83. In addition, we review the regulatory functions of CD83, including its striking modulatory potential to maintain the balance between tolerance versus inflammation during homeostasis or pathologies. These immunomodulatory properties of CD83 emphasize its exceptional therapeutic potential, which has been documented in specific preclinical disease models.

Immunoadjuvant Activity of Fucoidans from the Brown Alga Fucus evanescens. Mar Drugs 2020; 18:E155.

Abstract
Thе study presents the results of a comparative evaluation of the effect of structural modifications of fucoidans from the brown alga Fucus evanescens (native, highly purified рroduct of fucoidan enzymatic hydrolysis, a new regular 1→3;1→4-α-L-fucan, sulphated mainly at C2 and acetylated at C4 of the fucose residue) on the effector functions of innate and adaptive immunity cells in vitro and in vivo. Using flow cytometry, we found that all examined fucoidans induce the maturation of dendritic cells, enhance the ability of neutrophils to migrate and adhere, activate monocytes and enhance their antigen-presenting functions, and increase the cytotoxic potential of natural killers. Fucoidans increase the production of hepatitis B virus (HBs) specific IgG and cytokine Th1 (IFN-γ, TNF-α) and Th2 (IL-4) profiles in vivo. The data obtained suggest that in vitro and in vivo adjuvant effects of the products of fucoidan enzymatic hydrolysis with regular structural characteristics are comparable to those of the native fucoidan. Based on these data, the products of fucoidan enzymatic hydrolysis can be considered as an effective and safe candidate adjuvant to improve the efficacy of prophylactic and therapeutic vaccines.

Abstract
CD83 is a member of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily and is expressed in membrane bound or soluble forms. Membrane CD83 (mCD83) can be detected on a variety of activated immune cells, although it is most highly and stably expressed by mature dendritic cells (DC). mCD83 regulates maturation, activation and homeostasis. Soluble CD83 (sCD83), which is elevated in the serum of patients with autoimmune disease and some hematological malignancies is reported to have an immune suppressive function. While CD83 is emerging as a promising immune modulator with therapeutic potential, some important aspects such as its ligand/s, intracellular signaling pathways and modulators of its expression are unclear. In this review we discuss the recent biological findings and the potential clinical value of CD83 based therapeutics in various conditions including autoimmune disease, graft-vs.-host disease, transplantation and hematological malignancies.

Abstract
CD83 is a member of the Ig gene superfamily, first identified in activated lymphocytes. Since then, CD83 has become an important marker for defining activated human dendritic cells (DC). Several potential CD83 mRNA isoforms have been described, including a soluble form detected in human serum, which may have an immunosuppressive function. To further understand the biology of CD83, we examined its expression in different human immune cell types before and after activation using a panel of mouse and human anti-human CD83 mAb. The mouse anti-human CD83 mAbs, HB15a and HB15e, and the human anti-human CD83 mAb, 3C12C, were selected to examine cytoplasmic and surface CD83 expression, based on their different binding characteristics. Glycosylation of CD83, the CD83 mRNA isoforms, and soluble CD83 released differed among blood DC, monocytes, and monocyte-derived DC, and other immune cell types. A small T cell population expressing surface CD83 was identified upon T cell stimulation and during allogeneic MLR. This subpopulation appeared specifically during viral Ag challenge. We did not observe human CD83 on unstimulated human natural regulatory T cells (Treg), in contrast to reports describing expression of CD83 on mouse Treg. CD83 expression was increased on CD4+, CD8+ T, and Treg cells in association with clinical acute graft-versus-host disease in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant recipients. The differential expression and function of CD83 on human immune cells reveal potential new roles for this molecule as a target of therapeutic manipulation in transplantation, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases.

Abstract
Vaccines based on nonspreading Rift Valley fever virus (NSR) induce strong humoral and robust cellular immune responses with pronounced Th1 polarisation. The present work was aimed to gain insight into the molecular basis of NSR-mediated immunity. Recent studies have demonstrated that wild-type Rift Valley fever virus efficiently targets and replicates in dendritic cells (DCs). We found that NSR infection of cultured human DCs results in maturation of DCs, characterized by surface upregulation of CD40, CD80, CD86, MHC-I and MHC-II and secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines IFN-β, IL-6 and TNF. Interestingly, expression of the most prominent marker of DC maturation, CD83, was consistently downregulated at 24 hours post infection. Remarkably, NSR infection also completely abrogated CD83 upregulation by LPS. Downregulation of CD83 was not associated with reduced mRNA levels or impaired CD83 mRNA transport from the nucleus and could not be prevented by inhibition of the proteasome or endocytic degradation pathways, suggesting that suppression occurs at the translational level. In contrast to infected cells, bystander DCs displayed full maturation as evidenced by upregulation of CD83. Our results indicate that bystander DCs play an important role in NSR-mediated immunity.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DCs) form an extensive network in the intestinal lamina propria, which orchestrates the mucosal immune response. Alterations in DC function can predispose to inflammatory bowel disease, although by unknown mechanisms. We show that CD83, a highly regulated DC cell surface protein, modulates the immune response to prevent colitis. Mice with a conditional knockout of CD83 in DCs develop exacerbated colitis following dextran sodium sulfate challenge, whereas mucosal overexpression of CD83 inhibits DC inflammatory response and protects against colitis. These CD83 perturbations can be modeled in vitro where we show that CD83 homotypic interaction occurs via cell-cell contact and inhibits pro-inflammatory responses. CD83 knockdown or cytoplasmic truncation abrogates the effects of homotypic binding. We demonstrate that CD83 homotypic interaction regulates DC activation via the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway by inhibiting p38α phosphorylation. Our findings indicate that CD83 homotypic interactions regulate DC activation and promote mucosal homeostasis.

Abstract
Antigenic peptide-loaded MHC class II molecules (peptide-MHC class II) are constitutively expressed on the surface of professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs), including dendritic cells, B cells, macrophages and thymic epithelial cells, and are presented to antigen-specific CD4(+) T cells. The mechanisms of antigen uptake, the nature of the antigen processing compartments and the lifetime of cell surface peptide-MHC class II complexes can vary depending on the type of APC. It is likely that these differences are important for the function of each distinct APC subset in the generation of effective adaptive immune responses. In this Review, we describe our current knowledge of the mechanisms of uptake and processing of antigens, the intracellular formation of peptide-MHC class II complexes, the intracellular trafficking of peptide-MHC class II complexes to the APC plasma membrane and their ultimate degradation.

Abstract
Mature dendritic cells (mDCs) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells known today, as they are the only antigen-presenting cells able to induce naïve T-cells. Therefore, they play a crucial role during the induction of effective antiviral immune responses. Interestingly, the surface molecule CD83 expressed on mDCs is targeted by several viruses. As CD83 has been shown to exert co-stimulatory functions on mDCs, its downmodulation represents a viral immune escape mechanism. Mechanistically, it has been shown that herpes simplex virus type 1 infection leads to proteasomal degradation of CD83, resulting in a strongly diminished T-cell stimulatory capacity of the infected mDC. Previous data suggest that the viral immediate-early protein ICP0 (infected-cell protein 0) plays an important role in this process. In the present study, we showed that ICP0 is sufficient to induce CD83 degradation in the absence of any other viral factor. However, the mechanism of ICP0-mediated CD83 degradation is not yet understood. Here, we provide evidence that ubiquitination of lysine residues is, despite the published E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of ICP0, not necessary for CD83 degradation. This finding was underlined by the observation that expression of an ICP0 mutant lacking the E3 ubiquitin ligase domain in mDCs still induced CD83 degradation. Finally, inhibition of E1 activating enzyme using the specific inhibitor 4[4-(5-nitro-furan-2-ylmethylene)-3.5-dioxo-pyrazolidin-1-yl]-benzoic acid ethyl ester did not prevent CD83 degradation. Taken together, our data provide strong evidence that ICP0 alone induces CD83 degradation independent of its E3 ubiquitin ligase function and of the ubiquitin machinery.

Activation of GILZ gene by photoactivated 8-methoxypsoralen: potential role of immunoregulatory dendritic cells in extracorporeal photochemotherapy. Transfus Apher Sci 2013; 50:379-87.

Abstract
Extracorporeal photochemotherapy (ECP) is a widely used method for either immunization against cutaneous T cell lymphoma or immunosuppression of graft-versus-host disease and organ transplant rejection (OTR). Leukapheresed blood is routed through a chamber, in which 8-methoxypsoralen is activated by ultraviolet energy (PUVA), thereby causing DNA crosslinks in processed leukocytes. Return of ECP-processed mononuclear leukocytes to the patient then modulates aberrant T cell immunity. Since interaction with the ECP flow chamber induces monocyte-to-dendritic antigen presenting cell (DC) maturation, we examined the possibility that PUVA may direct the most heavily exposed monocytes to differentiate into tolerogenic DC, while the least exposed DC might remain immunogenic. Expression of the glucocorticoid-induced leucine zipper (GILZ) gene is a distinguishing marker of tolerogenic DC. We report that PUVA directly stimulates GILZ expression. PUVA-exposed DC up-regulated GILZ, down-regulated costimulatory CD80 and CD86, became resistant to Toll-like receptor-induced maturation, increased IL-10 production and decreased IL-12p70 production, all features of immunosuppressive DC. Knockdown of GILZ with siRNA reduced IL-10 and increased IL-12p70 production, demonstrating that GILZ is critical for this profile. PUVA-induction of GILZ expression by DC may help explain how ECP suppresses GVHD and OTR. Conversely, those ECP-processed monocytes minimally exposed to PUVA may mediate ECP's immunogenic effects.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) are the main immune mediators inducing primary immune responses. DC generated from monocytes (MoDC) are a model system to study the biology of DC in vitro, as they represent inflammatory DC in vivo. Previous studies on the generation of MoDC in horses indicated that there was no distinct difference between immature and mature DC and that the expression profile was distinctly different from humans, where CD206 is expressed on immature MoDC whereas CD83 is expressed on mature MoDC. Here we describe the kinetics of equine MoDC differentiation and activation, analysing both phenotypic and functional characteristics. Blood monocytes were first differentiated with equine granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor and interleukin-4 generating immature DC (iMoDC). These cells were further activated with a cocktail of cytokines including interferon-γ) but not CD40 ligand to obtain mature DC (mMoDC). To determine the expression of a broad range of markers for which no monoclonal antibodies were available to analyse the protein expression, microarray and quantitative PCR analysis were performed to carry out gene expression analysis. This study demonstrates that equine iMoDC and mMoDC can be distinguished both phenotypically and functionally but the expression pattern of some markers including CD206 and CD83 is dissimilar to the human system.

Abstract
Cholesterol is an essential lipid in eukaryotic cells and is present in membranes of all intracellular compartments. A major source for cellular cholesterol is internalized lipoprotein particles that are transported toward acidic late endosomes (LE) and lysosomes. Here the lipoprotein particles are hydrolyzed, and free cholesterol is redistributed to other organelles. The LE can contain over half of the cellular cholesterol and, as a major sorting station, can contain many cholesterol-binding proteins from the ABCA, STARD, and ORP families. Here, we show that metastatic lymph node 64 (MLN64, STARD3) and oxysterol-binding protein-related protein 1L (ORP1L) define two subpopulations of LE. MLN64 is present on a LE containing the cholesterol transporter ABCA3, whereas ORP1L localizes to another population of LE containing Niemann Pick type C1 (NPC1), a cholesterol exporter. Endocytosed cargo passes through MLN64/ABCA3-positive compartments before it reaches ORP1L/NPC1-positive LE. The MLN64/ABCA3 compartments cycle between LE and plasma membrane and frequently contact "later" ORP1L/NPC1-containing LE. We propose two stages of cholesterol handling in late endosomal compartments: first, cholesterol enters MLN64/ABCA3-positive compartments from where it can be recycled to the plasma membrane, and later, cholesterol enters ORP1L/NPC1 endosomes that mediate cholesterol export to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Abstract
Mutations in RYR1, the gene encoding ryanodine receptor 1, are linked to a variety of neuromuscular disorders including malignant hyperthermia (MH), a pharmacogenetic hypermetabolic disease caused by dysregulation of Ca(2+) in skeletal muscle. RYR1 encodes a Ca(2+) channel that is predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum, where it is involved in releasing the Ca(2+) necessary for muscle contraction. Other tissues, however, including cells of the immune system, have been shown to express ryanodine receptor 1; in dendritic cells its activation leads to increased surface expression of major histocompatibility complex II molecules and provides synergistic signals leading to cell maturation. In the present study, we investigated the impact of an MH mutation on the immune system by studying the RYR1Y522S knock-in mouse. Our results show that there are subtle but significant differences both in resting 'non-challenged' mice as well as in mice treated with antigenic stimuli, in particular the knock-in mice: (i) have dendritic cells that are more efficient at stimulating T cell proliferation, (ii) have higher levels of natural IgG1 and IgE antibodies, and (iii) are faster and more efficient at mounting a specific immune response in the early phases of immunization. We suggest that some gain-of-function MH-linked RYR1 mutations might offer selective immune advantages to their carriers. Furthermore, our results raise the intriguing possibility that pharmacological activation of RyR1 might be exploited for the development of new classes of vaccines and adjuvants.

Abstract
Effective vaccine adjuvants must induce expression of major histocompatibility (MHC) class II proteins and the costimulatory molecule CD86 on dendritic cells (DCs). However, some adjuvants elicit production of cytokines resulting in adverse inflammatory consequences. Development of agents that selectively increase MHC class II and CD86 expression without triggering unwanted cytokine production requires a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms influencing the production and degradation of MHC class II and CD86 in DCs. Here, we investigate how CD83, an immunoglobulin protein expressed on the surface of mature DCs, promotes MHC class II and CD86 expression. Using mice with an N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea-induced mutation eliminating the transmembrane (TM) region of CD83, we found that the TM domain of CD83 enhances MHC class II and CD86 expression by blocking MHC class II association with the ubiquitin ligase MARCH1. The TM region of CD83 blocks interleukin 10-driven, MARCH1-dependent ubiquitination and degradation of MHC class II and CD86 in DCs. Exploiting this posttranslational pathway for boosting MHC class II and CD86 expression on DCs may provide an opportunity to enhance the immunogenicity of vaccines.

Abstract
Extracorporeal photochemotherapy (ECP) is widely used to treat cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, graft-versus-host disease, and allografted organ rejection. Its clinical and experimental efficacy in cancer immunotherapy and autoreactive disorders suggests a novel mechanism. This study reveals that ECP induces a high percentage of processed monocytes to enter the antigen-presenting dendritic cell (DC) differentiation pathway, within a single day, without added cytokines, as determined by enhanced expression of relevant genes. The resulting DCs are capable of processing and presentation of exogenous and endogenous antigen and are largely maturationally synchronized, as assessed by the level of expression of costimulatory surface molecules. Principal component analysis of the ECP-induced monocyte transcriptome reveals that activation or suppression of more than 1100 genes produces a reproducible distinctive molecular signature, common to ECP-processed monocytes from normal subjects, and those from patients. Because ECP induces normal monocytes to enter the DC differentiation pathway, this phenomenon is independent of disease state. The efficiency with which ECP stimulates new functional DCs supports the possibility that these cells participate prominently in the clinical successes of the treatment. Appropriately modified by future advances, ECP may potentially offer a general source of therapeutic DCs.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) are the most potent antigen-presenting cells (APC) of the immune system and are specialized to activate T as well as B cell-dependent immune responses. Mature DC are characterized by expression of CD83, a surface molecule that has been postulated to be required for efficient DC activity. Here we show that Leptomycin B (LMB), a highly specific inhibitor of the nuclear export receptor CRM1, abrogates the ability of DC to stimulate T cells in an allogeneic mixed lymphocyte reaction. Interestingly, this effect correlates with down-regulation of CD83, CD80 and CD86 surface expression during DC maturation, whereas other investigated DC surface molecules, such as MHC class I and II molecules are not significantly affected. Analysis of RNA distribution reveals that particularly the stimulated expression of CD83 depended on a functional CRM1 export receptor. Taken together, the presented data show a critical involvement of the CRM1 transport receptor in DC maturation, most likely by enabling efficient nucleo-cytoplasmic translocation of specific mRNAs. Thus, interference with this pathway may provide new strategies to modulate DC function and, subsequently, DC-mediated immune responses.

Abstract
CD83 is the major surface marker identifying mature dendritic cells (DCs). In this study, we report the generation of reporter mice expressing EGFP under the control of the CD83 promoter. We have used these mice to characterize CD83 expression by various immune system cell types both in vivo and ex vivo and under steady-state conditions and in response to stimulation with a Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligand. With those mice we could prove in vivo that the CD83 promoter is highly active in all DCs and B cells in lymphoid organs. Interestingly, this promoter activity in B cells mainly depended on the stage of development, is up-regulated in the late pre-B cell stage, and was maintained on a high level in all peripheral B cells. We also confirmed that CD83 in those cells is mainly intracellular but is up-regulated after TLR stimulation. Otherwise, CD83 promoter activity in T cells seemed to depend on stimulation and could be found mainly in CD4(+)CD25(+) and CD8(+)CD25(+) T cells and in CD4(+) and CD8(+) memory cells. In addition, we identified the murine homologues of the human CD83 splice variants. In contrast to those in human, those extremely rare short transcripts were never found without the expression of the highly dominant full-length form. So, the murine CD83 surface expression is mainly regulated posttranslationally in vivo. Our CD83 reporter mice represent a useful mouse model for monitoring the activation status and migration of DCs and lymphocytes under various conditions, and our results provide much needed clarification of the true nature of CD83 promoter activity.

Abstract
The central function of murine CD83 that is expressed on thymic epithelial cells is to induce the progression of double-positive thymocytes to single CD4-positive T cells. Several lines of evidence suggest an additional role for CD83 in the regulation of peripheral T and B cell responses. Here we show that CD83 is expressed by immature B cells and regulates their further maturation and survival in the periphery. Employing mixed bone marrow chimeras, we compare wild-type, CD83 over-expressing and CD83-deficient B cells within the same host. CD83 over-expression on the immature B cells themselves led to an accumulation of transitional B cells and a reciprocally reduced maturation of follicular B cells that was strictly correlated to the intensity of CD83 over-expression. The absence of CD83 on B cells resulted in a decreased maturation of marginal zone B cells and conferred a mild selection advantage for B cell survival in the periphery. Consenting with these findings, the over-expression of CD83 specifically and dose dependently interfered with homeostasis of B cells while T cell survival was not affected by CD83 over-expression over a period of 30 weeks. Taken together, our data suggest that CD83 negatively regulates B cell maturation and survival.

Abstract
The transmembrane CD83 molecule, a conserved member of the immunoglobulin superfamily, is known as one of the most characteristic cell surface markers for fully matured dendritic cells (DCs) in the peripheral circulation. An essential role for CD83 on murine DCs has not been found; however, evidence shows that its function primarily lies in the regulation of T- and B-lymphocyte maturation and in the regulation of their peripheral responses. Here, we review evidence for a role of CD83 in central lymphocyte maturation and novel, sometimes contradictory findings, regarding the function of CD83 in peripheral immune responses.

Abstract
Background Dendritic cells (DCs) are considered as key mediators of the early events in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection at mucosal sites. Previous studies have shown that surface-bound virions and/or internalized viruses found in endocytic vacuoles of DCs are efficiently transferred to CD4+ T cells. Extracellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) either secreted or released from necrotic cells induces a distorted maturation of DCs, transiently increases their endocytic capacity and affects their migratory capacity. Knowing that high extracellular ATP concentrations are present in situations of tissue injury and inflammation, we investigated the effect of ATP on HIV-1 transmission from DCs to CD4+ T lymphocytes. Results In this study, we show that extracellular ATP reduces HIV-1 transfer from immature monocyte-derived DCs (iDCs) to autologous CD4+ T cells. This observed decrease in viral replication was related to a lower proportion of infected CD4+ T cells following transfer, and was seen with both X4- and R5-tropic isolates of HIV-1. Extracellular ATP had no effect on direct CD4+ T cell infection as well as on productive HIV-1 infection of iDCs. These observations indicate that extracellular ATP affects HIV-1 infection of CD4+ T cells in trans with no effect on de novo virus production by iDCs. Additional experiments suggest that extracellular ATP might modulate the trafficking pathway of internalized virions within iDCs leading to an increased lysosomal degradation, which could be partly responsible for the decreased HIV-1 transmission. Conclusion These results suggest that extracellular ATP can act as a factor controlling HIV-1 propagation.

Abstract
Dendritic cells (DC) are the most potent APC in the organism. Immature dendritic cells (iDC) reside in the tissue where they capture pathogens whereas mature dendritic cells (mDC) are able to activate T cells in the lymph node. This dramatic functional change is mediated by an important genetic reprogramming. Glycosylation is the most common form of posttranslational modification of proteins and has been implicated in multiple aspects of the immune response. To investigate the involvement of glycosylation in the changes that occur during DC maturation, we have studied the differences in the glycan profile of iDC and mDC as well as their glycosylation machinery. For information relating to glycan biosynthesis, gene expression profiles of human monocyte-derived iDC and mDC were compared using a gene microarray and quantitative real-time PCR. This gene expression profiling showed a profound maturation-induced up-regulation of the glycosyltransferases involved in the expression of LacNAc, core 1 and sialylated structures and a down-regulation of genes involved in the synthesis of core 2 O-glycans. Glycosylation changes during DC maturation were corroborated by mass spectrometric analysis of N- and O-glycans and by flow cytometry using plant lectins and glycan-specific Abs. Interestingly, the binding of the LacNAc-specific lectins galectin-3 and -8 increased during maturation and up-regulation of sialic acid expression by mDC correlated with an increased binding of siglec-1, -2, and -7.

Abstract
CD83 represents an intriguing target for immunotherapy due to its preferential expression on mature DCs, the most efficient of antigen presenting cells. Based on its restricted expression pattern, structure, and the paucity of CD4+ T cells in CD83-deficient mice, multiple immunologically important functions for CD83 during immune responses have been proposed. Indeed, several studies have reported that CD83 blockade using soluble receptor constructs inhibits T cell responses in vitro and in vivo, can affect autoimmune disease development and progression, and can inhibit transplant rejection. However, others have not been able to reproduce some of these findings, and antigen presenting cells deficient in CD83 expression or expressing a mutated form of CD83 induce normal T cell responses in vitro. This review examines the controversy surrounding CD83 function, alleged CD83 ligands, the potential therapeutic utility of recombinant proteins targeting CD83 function, and the importance of soluble serum CD83. While the validity of multiple previous studies needs to be confirmed, CD83 remains a fascinating cell surface molecule with a unique pattern of expression that has multiple confirmed functions in regulating immune system development and function.

Abstract
We previously mapped a nonrandom frequent loss of heterozygosity (LOH) region in cervical cancers to 1 Mb of 6p23. Here, we describe the identification of a novel cervical cancer susceptibility gene, CD83. The gene was identified by several complementary approaches, including a family-based association study, comparison of transcript expression in normal and cancerous tissue, and genomic sequencing of candidate. CD83 encodes an inducible glycoprotein in the immunoglobulin superfamily and is a marker for mature dendritic cells. The association study that includes 377 family trios showed that five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) within 8 kb of its 3'-end showed significant allelic association that was strengthened in a subgroup of women with invasive cancers infected by high-risk human papillomavirus type 16 and 18 (rs9296925, P = 0.0193; rs853360, P = 0.0035; rs9230, P = 0.0011; rs9370729, P = 0.0012; rs750749, P = 0.0133). Investigation of CD83 uncovered three alternative transcripts in cervical tissue and cell lines, with variant 3 (lacking exons 3 and 4) being more frequent in cervical cancer than in normal cervical epithelium (P = 0.0181). Genomic sequencing on 36 paired normal and cervical tumors revealed several somatic mutations and novel SNPs in the promoter, exons, and introns of CD83. LOH was confirmed in >90% of cervical cancer specimens. Immunofluorescence colocalized CD83 protein to the Golgi apparatus and cell membrane of cervical cancer cell lines. None of seven nearby genes was differentially expressed in cervical cancer. The importance of CD83 in epithelial versus dendritic cells needs to be determined, as does its role in promoting cervical cancer.

Abstract
The murine transmembrane glycoprotein CD83 is an important regulator for both thymic T cell maturation and peripheral T cell responses. Recently, we reported that CD83 also has a function on B cells: Ubiquitous transgenic (Tg) expression of CD83 interfered with the immunoglobulin (Ig) response to infectious agents and to T cell dependent as well as T cell independent model antigen immunization. Here we compare the function of CD83Tg B cells that overexpress CD83 and CD83 mutant (CD83mu) B cells that display a drastically reduced CD83 expression. Correlating with CD83 expression, the basic as well as the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced expression of the activation markers CD86 and MHC-II are significantly increased in CD83Tg B cells and reciprocally decreased in CD83mu B cells. Wild-type B cells rapidly upregulate CD83 within three hours post BCR or TLR engagement by de novo protein synthesis. The forced premature overexpression of CD83 on the CD83Tg B cells results in reduced calcium signaling, reduced Ig secretion and a reciprocally increased IL-10 production upon in vitro activation. This altered phenotype is mediated by CD83 expressed on the B cells themselves, since it is observed in the absence of accessory cells. In line with this finding, purified CD83mu B cells displayed a reduced IL-10 production and slightly increased Ig secretion upon LPS stimulation in vitro. Taken together, our data strongly suggest that CD83 is expressed by B cells upon activation and contributes to the regulation of B cell function.

Abstract
CD83 is a member of the Ig superfamily expressed primarily by mature dendritic cells (DCs). In mice, CD83 expression by thymic stromal cells regulates CD4(+) T cell development, with CD83(-/-) mice demonstrating dramatic reductions in both thymus and peripheral CD4(+) T cells. In this study, CD83 expression was also found to affect MHC class II antigen expression within the thymus and periphery. CD83 deficiency reduced cell-surface class II antigen expression by 25-50% on splenic B cells and DCs, thymic epithelial cells and peritoneal macrophages. Reduced class II expression was a stable and intrinsic property that resulted from increased internalization of class II from the surface of CD83(-/-) B cells. Otherwise, class II antigen transcription, intracellular expression, heterodimer structure, antigen processing and antigen presentation were normal. Reduced class II antigen expression was not the primary cause of the CD83(-/-) phenotype since thymocyte and peripheral T cell development was normal in class II(+/-) mice. Comparable blocks in CD4(+) thymocyte development were also observed in CD83(-/-) and CD83(-/-)class II(+/-) littermates. TCR and CD69 expression patterns in CD83(-/-) mice further suggested that double-positive thymocytes proceed through the class II-dependent stages of positive selection in the absence of CD83. These studies further emphasize a role for CD83 in lymphocyte development and immune regulation and reveal an unexpected role for CD83 expression in influencing cell-surface MHC class II turnover.

Abstract
Mature human dendritic cells (mDCs) are the most powerful APCs known today, having the unique ability to induce primary immune responses. One of the best known surface markers for mDCs is the glycoprotein CD83, which is strongly up-regulated during maturation, together with costimulatory molecules such as CD80 and CD86. When CD83 surface expression was inhibited by interference with the messenger RNA export or by infection with certain viruses, DCs showed a dramatically reduced capability to induce T cell proliferation. However, in these cases side effects on other cellular functions cannot be excluded completely. In this study we present an efficient method to specifically influence CD83 surface expression by the use of RNA interference. We used small-interfering RNA targeted against CD83 and carefully evaluated an electroporation protocol for the delivery of the duplex into the cells. Furthermore, we identified freshly prepared immature DCs as the best target for the application of a CD83 knockdown and we were also able to achieve a long lasting silencing effect for this molecule. Finally, we were able to confirm that CD83 functions as an enhancer during the stimulation of T cells, significantly increases DC-mediated T cell proliferation, and goes hand in hand with clear changes in cytokine expression during T cell priming. These results were obtained for the first time without the use of agents that might cause unwanted side effects, such as low m.w. inhibitors or viruses. Therefore, this method presents a suitable way to influence DC biology.

Abstract
Human CD83 is a marker molecule for mature dendritic cells (DC) and is also expressed on activated B and T cells. Although CD83 has been implicated in immune responses, its function on DC and T cells remains unclear. In this study, we wanted to assess the role of CD83 expressed on DC and T cells in the immune response. Down-regulation of CD83 expression on human DC through RNA interference (RNAi) results in a less potent induction of allogeneic T cell proliferation, reduced IFN-gamma secretion by established T cells and decreased capacity in the priming of functional tumor antigen-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes. In addition, CD83 mRNA-electroporated DC are stronger T cell stimulators. However, CD83 overexpression on Melan-A/MART-1-specific tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) circumvents the need for CD83 expression on DC. Co-culture of immature DC with TIL or K562 cells overexpressing CD83 results in the production of enhanced levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, whereas this production is less pronounced or even absent in co-cultures with non-modified TIL or K562 cells. In conclusion, we demonstrate that CD83 expression on T cells and DC modulates the immune response by activating DC and by delivering costimulatory signals for the stimulation of naive and memory T cells, respectively.

Abstract
CD205 (DEC-205) is a member of the macrophage mannose receptor family of C-type lectins. These molecules are known to mediate a wide variety of biological functions including the capture and internalization of ligands for subsequent processing and presentation by dendritic cells. Although its ligands await identification, the endocytic properties of CD205 make it an ideal target for those wishing to design vaccines and targeted immunotherapies. We present a detailed analysis of CD205 expression, distribution and endocytosis in human monocyte-derived dendritic cells undergoing lipopolysaccharide-induced maturation. Unlike other members of the macrophage mannose receptor family, CD205 was up-regulated upon dendritic cell maturation. This increase was a result of de novo synthesis as well as a redistribution of molecules from endocytic compartments to the cell surface. Furthermore, the endocytic capacity of CD205 was abrogated and small amounts of the recently identified CD205-DCL-1 fusion protein were detected in mature DC. Our results suggest that CD205 has two distinct functions -- one as an endocytic receptor on immature dendritic cells and a second as a non-endocytic molecule on mature dendritic cells -- and further highlight its potential as an immuno-modulatory target for vaccine and immunotherapy development.
