    6.4: HSV enhances HIV-1 transmission by LCs Chapter 6.4 Herpes simplex virus enhances HIV-1 transmission by Langerhans cells. Lot de Witte*, Marein A.W.P. de Jong*, Yvette van Kooyk and Teunis B.H. Geijtenbeek. Genital herpes is a risk factor to acquire HIV-1 infection by sexual contact, by increasing both infectivity of an infected person and susceptibility to acquire HIV-1. Here we have investigated the mechanisms that underlie the increased susceptibility to HIV-1 when people have genital herpes. Under steady state conditions, LCs capture HIV-1 through interaction with the C-type lectin Langerin, resulting in viral clearance and protection against HIV-1. During primary genital herpes or recurrent infections, HSV infects epithelial cells and encounters LCs in the mucosal epithelium. We set out to investigate the function of HSV-infected LCs and subepithelial DCs during HIV-1 transmission. We demonstrate that HSV interacts with soluble and cellular Langerin and that infection of LCs decreases expression of this receptor. Notably, LC infection with both HSV-1 and HSV-2 enhances HIV-1 transmission, suggesting an important role for LCs during HIV-1 transmission in the HSV-infected individual. Furthermore our data indicate that HSV infection of DCs and LCs has different outcomes for HIV-1 transmission, and our results suggest that DC-SIGN and Langerin are involved. Future research is needed to confirm the differential role of Langerin and DC-SIGN during HIV-1 transmission in conditions of genital herpes.

Luster Center for Immunology & Inflammatory Diseases, Division of Rheumatology, Allergy and Immunology, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts 02114 Correspondence: [email protected] Chemokines are chemotactic cytokines that control the migration and positioning of immune cells in tissues and are critical for the function of the innate immune system. Chemokines control the release of innate immune cells from the bone marrow during homeostasis as well as in response to infection and inflammation. Theyalso recruit innate immune effectors out of the circulation and into the tissue where, in collaboration with other chemoattractants, they guide these cells to the very sites of tissue injury. Chemokine function is also critical for the positioning of innate immune sentinels in peripheral tissue and then, following innate immune activation, guiding these activated cells to the draining lymph node to initiate and imprint an adaptive immune response. In this review, we will highlight recent advances in understanding how chemokine function regulates the movement and positioning of innate immune cells at homeostasis and in response to acute inflammation, and then we will review how chemokine-mediated innate immune cell trafficking plays an essential role in linking the innate and adaptive immune responses. hemokines are chemotactic cytokines that with emphasis placed on its role in the innate Ccontrol cell migration and cell positioning immune system. throughout development, homeostasis, and in- flammation.

The results provide an overview of interactions between mycobacterial glycans and receptors that mediate uptake and survival in macrophages, dendritic cells, and sinusoidal endothelial cells. A subset of the wide variety of glycan structures present on mycobacterial surfaces interact with cells of the innate immune system through the receptors tested. Endocytic receptors, including the mannose receptor, DC-SIGN, langerin, and DC-SIGNR (L-SIGN), interact predominantly with mannose-containing caps found on the mycobacterial polysaccharide lipoarabinomannan. Some of these receptors also interact with phosphatidyl-myo-inositol mannosides and mannose-containing phenolic glycolipids.

CTLs in innate immunity serve as pattern recognition receptors and often bind to glycan structures in damage- and pathogen-associated molecular patterns. While CTLs are found throughout the whole animal kingdom, their ligand specificities and downstream signaling have mainly been studied in humans and in model organisms such as mice. In this review, recent advancements in CTL research in veterinary species as well as potential applications of CTL targeting in veterinary medicine are outlined. Keywords: C-type lectin; glycans; immune modulation; comparative immunology; veterinary immunology 1. Introduction Glycans belong to the most abundant macromolecules constituting all living organisms. In multicellular animals, processes such as cell migration, homeostasis maintenance, and innate immune signaling rely on the ability of cells to recognize glycoconjugates, most often in the form of glycoproteins and glycolipids, via glycan binding proteins, the so-called lectins [1]. In the immune system, lectin receptors are either secreted or found on the cell surface of immune cells [2].

Hence, harnessing the biology of tissue-resident dendritic cells is fundamental for the rational design of vaccines against pathogens. Methods: Herein, we characterized the transcriptomes of four antigen-presenting cell subsets from the human vagina (Langerhans cells, CD14- and CD14+ dendritic cells, macrophages) by microarray, at both the transcript and network level, and compared them to those of three skin dendritic cell subsets and blood myeloid dendritic cells. Results: We found that genomic fingerprints of antigen-presenting cells are significantly influenced by the tissue of origin as well as by individual subsets. Nonetheless, CD14+ populations from both vagina and skin are geared towards innate immunity and pro-inflammatory responses, whereas CD14- populations, particularly skin and vaginal Langerhans cells, and vaginal CD14- dendritic cells, display both Th2-inducing and regulatory phenotypes. We also identified new phenotypic and functional biomarkers of vaginal antigen-presenting cell subsets. Conclusions: We provide a transcriptional database of 87 microarray samples spanning eight antigen-presenting cell populations in the human vagina, skin and blood. Altogether, these data provide molecular information that will further help characterize human tissue antigen-presenting cell lineages and their functions.

  • The Antigen Presenting Cells Instruct Plasma Cell Differentiation
    REVIEW ARTICLE published: 06 January 2014 doi: 10.3389/fimmu.2013.00504 The antigen presenting cells instruct plasma cell differentiation Wei Xu 1* and Jacques Banchereau 2 1 Pharma Research and Early Development, F.Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., Roche Glycart AG, Schlieren, Switzerland 2 The Jackson Laboratory, Institute for Genomic Medicine, Farmington, CT, USA Edited by: The professional antigen presenting cells (APCs), including many subsets of dendritic cells Catherine Pellat-Deceunynck, Centre and macrophages, not only mediate prompt but non-specific response against microbes, National de la Recherche Scientifique, but also bridge the antigen-specific adaptive immune response through antigen presen- France tation. In the latter, typically activated B cells acquire cognate signals from T helper cells Reviewed by: Laurence Morel, University of Florida, in the germinal center of lymphoid follicles to differentiate into plasma cells (PCs), which USA generate protective antibodies. Recent advances have revealed that many APC subsets Paulo Vieira, Institut Pasteur de Paris, provide not only “signal 1” (the antigen), but also “signal 2” to directly instruct the dif- France Gaetan Jego, University of Burgundy, ferentiation process of PCs in a T-cell-independent manner. Herein, the different signals France provided by these APC subsets to direct B cell proliferation, survival, class switching, and *Correspondence: terminal differentiation are discussed. We furthermore propose that the next generation of Wei Xu, Human Immunology Unit, vaccines for boosting antibody response could be designed by targeting APCs.
