Colorectal Cancer-Infiltrating T Lymphocytes Display a Distinct Löfroos et al. Eur J Med Res (2017) 22:40 DOI 10.1186/s40001-017-0283-8 European Journal of Medical Research RESEARCH Open Access Colorectal cancer‑infltrating T lymphocytes display a distinct chemokine receptor expression profle Ann‑Britt Löfroos1,2†, Mohammad Kadivar2†, Sabina Resic Lindehammer1,2 and Jan Marsal1,2,3* Abstract Background: T lymphocytes exert important homeostatic functions in the healthy intestinal mucosa, whereas in case of colorectal cancer (CRC), infltration of T lymphocytes into the tumor is crucial for an efective anti-tumor immune response. In both situations, the recruitment mechanisms of T lymphocytes into the tissues are essential for the immunological functions deciding the outcome. The recruitment of T lymphocytes is largely dependent on their expression of various chemokine receptors. The aim of this study was to identify potential chemokine receptors involved in the recruitment of T lymphocytes to normal human colonic mucosa and to CRC tissue, respectively, by examining the expression of 16 diferent chemokine receptors on T lymphocytes isolated from these tissues. Methods: Tissues were collected from patients undergoing bowel resection for CRC. Lymphocytes were isolated through enzymatic tissue degradation of CRC tissue and nearby located unafected mucosa, respectively. The expres‑ sion of a broad panel of chemokine receptors on the freshly isolated T lymphocytes was examined by fow cytometry. Results: In the normal colonic mucosa, the frequencies of cells expressing CCR2, CCR4, CXCR3, and CXCR6 dif‑ fered signifcantly between ­CD4+ and ­CD8+ T lymphocytes, suggesting that the molecular mechanisms mediating T lymphocyte recruitment to the gut difer between ­CD4+ and ­CD8+ T lymphocytes. In CRC, the frequencies of cells expressing CCR2 and CXCR5 were signifcantly lower in both the ­CD4+ and ­CD8+ T lymphocyte populations compared to unafected colonic mucosa, and the frequency of ­CCR9+ cytotoxic T lymphocytes was signifcantly decreased in CRC tissue. Conclusions: With regard to the normal gut mucosa, the results suggest that the molecular mechanisms mediating T lymphocyte recruitment difer between ­CD4+ and ­CD8+ T lymphocytes, which are important for understanding gut homeostasis. Importantly, T lymphocytes from CRC compared to normal colonic tissue displayed a distinct chemokine receptor expression profle, suggesting that mechanisms for recruitment of T lymphocytes to CRC tissue are skewed compared to normal colonic mucosa. Understanding these mechanisms could help in developing new strategies in cancer immunotherapy and to optimize already available alternatives such as immune checkpoint inhibitors.

  • CCR2 Enhances CD25 Expression by Foxp3+ Regulatory T Cells and Regulates Their Abundance Independently of Chemotaxis and CCR2+ Myeloid Cells
    Cellular & Molecular Immunology www.nature.com/cmi ARTICLE CCR2 enhances CD25 expression by FoxP3+ regulatory T cells and regulates their abundance independently of chemotaxis and CCR2+ myeloid cells Yifan Zhan 1,2,3, Nancy Wang 4, Ajithkumar Vasanthakumar1,2,4, Yuxia Zhang3, Michael Chopin1,2, Stephen L. Nutt 1,2, Axel Kallies1,2,4 and Andrew M. Lew1,2,4 A wide array of chemokine receptors, including CCR2, are known to control Treg migration. Here, we report that CCR2 regulates Tregs beyond chemotaxis. We found that CCR2 deficiency reduced CD25 expression by FoxP3+ Treg cells. Such a change was also consistently present in irradiation chimeras reconstituted with mixed bone marrow from wild-type (WT) and CCR2−/− strains. Thus, CCR2 deficiency resulted in profound loss of CD25hi FoxP3+ Tregs in secondary lymphoid organs as well as in peripheral tissues. CCR2−/− Treg cells were also functionally inferior to WT cells. Interestingly, these changes to Treg cells did not depend on CCR2+ monocytes/moDCs (the cells where CCR2 receptors are most abundant). Rather, we demonstrated that CCR2 was required for TLR- stimulated, but not TCR- or IL-2-stimulated, CD25 upregulation on Treg cells. Thus, we propose that CCR2 signaling can increase the fitness of FoxP3+ Treg cells and provide negative feedback to counter the proinflammatory effects of CCR2 on myeloid cells.

T-helper 2 (Th2) cells were expected to be involved in the underlying immune mech- anism, although this is still controversial. The aim of this study was to examine the expression of CXCR6, a chemokine receptor that marks functionally specialized T-cells within the Th1 and T-cyto- toxic 1 (Tc1) cell pool, to gain new insights into the running immune processes. Methods: CXCR6 expression was examined on peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) and thyroid- derived lymphocytes (TLs) of GD patients in flow cytometry. CXCR6 cDNA was quantified in thyroid tissues affected by GD (n ¼ 16), Hashimoto’s thyroiditis (HT; n ¼ 2) and thyroid autonomy (TA; n ¼ 11) using real-time reverse transcriptase PCR. Results: The percentages of peripheral CXCR6þ PBLs did not differ between GD and normal subjects. CXCR6 was expressed by small subsets of circulating T-cells and natural killer (NK) cells. CXCR6þ cells were enriched in thyroid-derived T-cells compared with peripheral CD4þ and CD8þ T-cells in GD. The increase was evident within the Th1 (CD4þ interferon-gþ (IFN-gþ)) and Tc1 (CD8þIFN- gþ) subpopulation and CD8þ granzyme Aþ T-cells (cytotoxic effector type).

  • Aging T Cell Chemokine Receptor Expression In
    The Journal of Immunology T Cell Chemokine Receptor Expression in Aging1 Ruran Mo,* Jun Chen,* Yin Han,* Cecelia Bueno-Cannizares,* David E. Misek,† Pascal A. Lescure,† Samir Hanash,† and Raymond L. Yung2* Changes in chemokine receptor expression are important in determining T cell migration and the subsequent immune response. To better understand the contribution of the chemokine system in immune senescence we determined the effect of aging on CD4؉ T cell chemokine receptor function using microarray, RNase protection assays, Western blot, and in vitro chemokine transmi- ,gration assays. Freshly isolated CD4؉ cells from aged (20–22 mo) mice were found to express a higher level of CCR1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 8 and CXCR2–5, and a lower level of CCR7 and 9 than those from young (3–4 mo) animals. Caloric restriction partially or completely restored the aging effects on CCR1, 7, and 8 and CXCR2, 4, and 5. The aging-associated differences in chemokine receptor expression cannot be adequately explained by the age-associated shift in the naive/memory or Th1/Th2 profile. CD4؉ cells from aged animals have increased chemotactic response to stromal cell-derived factor-1 and macrophage-inflammatory protein- 1␣, suggesting that the observed chemokine receptor changes have important functional consequences. We propose that the aging-associated changes in T cell chemokine receptor expression may contribute to the different clinical outcome in T cell chemokine receptor-dependent diseases in the elderly.

    CCR3, CCR5, Interleukin 4, and Interferon-γ Expression on Synovial and Peripheral T Cells and Monocytes in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis RIIKKA NISSINEN, MARJATTA LEIRISALO-REPO, MINNA TIITTANEN, HEIKKI JULKUNEN, HANNA HIRVONEN, TIMO PALOSUO, and OUTI VAARALA ABSTRACT. Objective. To characterize cytokine and chemokine receptor profiles of T cells and monocytes in inflamed synovium and peripheral blood (PB) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and other arthritides. Methods. We studied PB and synovial fluid (SF) samples taken from 20 patients with RA and 9 patients with other arthritides. PB cells from 8 healthy adults were used as controls. CCR3, CCR5, and intracellular interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin 4 (IL-4) expression in CD8+ and CD8– T cell populations and in CD14+ cells were determined with flow cytometry. Results. Expression of CCR5 and CCR3 by CD8–, CD8+ T cells and CD14+ monocytes was increased in SF compared to PB cells in patients with RA and other arthritides. The number of CD8+ T cells spontaneously expressing IL-4 and IFN-γ was higher in SF than in PB in RA patients. Spontaneous CCR5 expression was associated with intracellular IFN-γ expression in CD8+ T cells derived from SF in RA. In CD8– T cells the ratio of CCR5+/CCR3+ cells was increased in patients with RA compared to patients with other arthritides. The number of PB CD8– T cells expressing IFN-γ after mitogen stimulation was higher in controls than in patients. In PB monocytes the ratio of CCR5+/CCR3+ cells was increased in patients with RA compared to patients with other arthri- tides and controls.
