Conventional dendritic cells (cDCs) generate protective cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses against extracellular pathogens and tumors. This is achieved through a process known as cross-presentation (XP), and, despite its biological importance, the mechanism(s) driving XP remains unclear. Here, we show that a cDC-specific pore-forming protein called apolipoprotein L 7C (APOL7C) is up-regulated in response to innate immune stimuli and is recruited to phagosomes. Association of APOL7C with phagosomes led to phagosomal rupture and escape of engulfed antigens to the cytosol, where they could be processed via the endogenous MHC class I antigen processing pathway. Accordingly, mice deficient in APOL7C did not efficiently prime CD8+ T cells in response to immunization with bead-bound and cell-associated antigens. Together, our data indicate the presence of dedicated apolipoproteins that mediate the delivery of phagocytosed proteins to the cytosol of activated cDCs to facilitate XP.
传统的树突状细胞(cDCs)能产生针对细胞外病原体和肿瘤的保护性细胞毒性 T 淋巴细胞(CTL)反应。尽管XP具有重要的生物学意义,但其驱动机制仍不清楚。在这里,我们发现一种叫做脂蛋白 L 7C (APOL7C)的 cDC 特异性孔形成蛋白在先天性免疫刺激下上调,并被招募到吞噬体中。APOL7C 与吞噬体的结合导致吞噬体破裂,被吞噬的抗原逃逸到细胞膜,在细胞膜上通过内源性 MHC I 类抗原处理途径进行处理。因此,缺乏 APOL7C 的小鼠在对珠状抗原和细胞相关抗原进行免疫时不能有效地激发 CD8 + T 细胞。总之,我们的数据表明,存在一种专用的脂蛋白,它能介导将吞噬的蛋白质输送到活化的 cDCs 的细胞质中,从而促进 XP 的产生。

CD45 is a cell surface phosphatase that shapes the T cell receptor signaling threshold but does not have a known ligand. A family of adenovirus proteins, including E3/49K, exploits CD45 to evade immunity by binding to the extracellular domain of CD45, resulting in the suppression of T cell signaling. We determined the cryo-EM structure of this complex and found that the E3/49K protein is composed of three immunoglobulin domains assembled as “beads on a string” that compel CD45 into a closely abutted dimer by cross-linking the CD45 D3 domain, leading to steric inhibition of its intracellular phosphatase activity. Inspired by the E3/49K mechanism, we engineered CD45 surrogate ligands that can fine-tune T cell activation by dimerizing CD45 into different orientations and proximities. The adenovirus E3/49K protein has taught us that, despite a lack of a known ligand, CD45 activity can be modulated by extracellular dimerizing ligands that perturb its phosphatase activity and alter T cell responses.
CD45 是一种细胞表面磷酸酶,可形成 T 细胞受体信号阈值,但没有已知的配体。包括 E3/49K 在内的一系列腺病毒蛋白通过与 CD45 的细胞外结构域结合,抑制 T 细胞信号传导,从而利用 CD45 逃避免疫。我们测定了这一复合物的低温电子显微镜结构,发现 E3/49K 蛋白由三个免疫球蛋白结构域组成,它们像 "串珠 "一样组装在一起,通过交联 CD45 D3 结构域迫使 CD45 变成一个紧密相连的二聚体,从而导致其细胞内磷酸酶活性受到立体抑制。受 E3/49K 机制的启发,我们设计出了 CD45 替代配体,它们可以通过将 CD45 二聚为不同的方向和接近度来微调 T 细胞的活化。腺病毒 E3/49K 蛋白告诉我们,尽管缺乏已知的配体,但 CD45 的活性可以通过细胞外二聚配体来调节,从而扰乱其磷酸酶活性并改变 T 细胞的反应。

Gastrointestinal (GI) B cells and plasma cells (PCs) are critical to mucosal homeostasis and the host response to HIV-1 infection. Here, high-resolution mapping of human B cells and PCs sampled from the colon and ileum during both viremic and suppressed HIV-1 infection identified a reduction in germinal center (GC) B cells and follicular dendritic cells (FDCs) during HIV-1 viremia. Immunoglobulin A–positive (IgA+) PCs are the major cellular output of intestinal GCs and were significantly reduced during viremic HIV-1 infection. PC-associated transcriptional perturbations, including type I interferon signaling, persisted in antiretroviral therapy (ART)–treated individuals, suggesting ongoing disruption of the intestinal immune milieu during ART. GI humoral immune perturbations were associated with changes in the intestinal microbiome composition and systemic inflammation. These findings highlight a key immune defect in the GI mucosa due to HIV-1 viremia.

Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) is a potent cytokine critical for response to immunotherapy, yet conventional methods to systemically deliver this cytokine have been hindered by severe dose-limiting toxicities. Here, we engineered a strain of probiotic bacteria that home to tumors and locally release IFN-γ. A single intratumoral injection of these IFN-γ–producing bacteria was sufficient to drive systemic tumor antigen–specific antitumor immunity, without observable toxicity. Although cancer cells use various resistance mechanisms to evade immune responses, bacteria-derived IFN-γ overcame primary resistance to programmed cell death 1 (PD-1) blockade via activation of cytotoxic Foxp3−CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Moreover, by activating natural killer (NK) cells, bacteria-derived IFN-γ also overcame acquired resistance mechanisms to PD-1 blockade, specifically loss-of-function mutations in IFN-γ signaling and antigen presentation pathways. Collectively, these results demonstrate the promise of combining IFN-γ–producing bacteria with PD-1 blockade as a therapeutic strategy for overcoming immunotherapy-resistant, locally advanced, and metastatic disease.

Multiple cancers, including colorectal cancer (CRC), are more frequent and often more aggressive in individuals with obesity. Here, we showed that macrophages accumulated within tumors of patients with obesity and CRC and in obese CRC mice and that they promoted accelerated tumor growth. These changes were initiated by oleic acid accumulation and subsequent tumor cell–derived acid production and were driven by macrophage signaling through the acid-sensing receptor GPR65. We found a similar role for GPR65 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in obese mice. Tumors in patients with obesity and CRC or HCC also exhibited increased GPR65 expression, suggesting that the mechanism revealed here may contribute to tumor growth in a range of obesity-associated cancers and represent a potential therapeutic target.

Environmental exposures increase the risk for severe lung disease, but specific drivers of persistent epithelial injury and immune dysfunction remain unclear. Here, we identify a feedback circuit triggered by chitin, a common component of airborne particles, that affects lung health after epithelial injury. In mice, epithelial damage disrupts lung chitinase activity, leading to environmental chitin accumulation, impaired epithelial renewal, and group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) activation. ILC2s, in turn, restore homeostasis by inducing acidic mammalian chitinase (AMCase) in regenerating epithelial cells and promoting chitin degradation, epithelial differentiation, and inflammatory resolution. Mice lacking AMCase or ILC2s fail to clear chitin and exhibit increased mortality and impaired epithelial regeneration after injury. These effects are ameliorated by chitinase replacement therapy, demonstrating that chitin degradation is crucial for recovery after various forms of lung perturbation. Thus, the ILC2-chitinase response circuit may serve as a target for alleviating persistent postinjury lung epithelial and immune dysfunction.
