Zeh III2* Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDC) are innate immune effector cells that are recruited to sites of chronic inflammation, where they modify the quality and nature of the adaptive immune response. PDCs modulate adaptive immunity in response to signals delivered within the local inflammatory milieu by pathogen- or damage-associated molecular pattern, molecules, and activated immune cells (including NK, T, and myeloid dendritic cells). High mobility group B1 (HMGB1) is a recently identified damage- associated molecular pattern that is released during necrotic cell death and also secreted from activated macrophages, NK cells, and mature myeloid dendritic cells. We have investigated the effect of HMGB1 on the function of PDCs. In this study, we demonstrate that HMGB1 suppresses PDC cytokine secretion and maturation in response to TLR9 agonists including the hy- Downloaded from pomethylated oligodeoxynucleotide CpG- and DNA-containing viruses. HMGB1-inhibited secretion of several proinflammatory cytokines including IFN-␣, IL-6, TNF-␣, inducible protein-10, and IL-12. In addition, HMGB1 prevented the CpG induced up-regulation of costimulatory molecules on the surface of PDC and potently suppressed their ability to drive generation of IFN-␥-secreting T cells. Our observations suggest that HMGB1 may play a critical role in regulating the immune response during chronic inflammation and tissue damage through modulation of PDC function.

However, little is known about its function in innate immune cells. In this study, we show that, among human peripheral blood cells, SCARB2 is most highly expressed in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), and its expression is further upregulated by CpG oligodeoxynucleotide stimulation. Knockdown of SCARB2 in pDC cell line GEN2.2 dramatically reduces CpG-induced type I IFN production. Detailed studies reveal that SCARB2 localizes in late endosome/ http://www.jimmunol.org/ lysosome of pDCs, and knockdown of SCARB2 does not affect CpG oligodeoxynucleotide uptake but results in the retention of TLR9 in the endoplasmic reticulum and an impaired nuclear translocation of IFN regulatory factor 7. The IFN-I production by TLR7 ligand stimulation is also impaired by SCARB2 knockdown. However, SCARB2 is not essential for influenza virus or HSV-induced IFN-I production. These findings suggest that SCARB2 regulates TLR9-dependent IFN-I production of pDCs by mediating endosomal translocation of TLR9 and nuclear translocation of IFN regulatory factor 7.

This adjuvant was constructed from an amine-functionalized-Ficoll, a heterobifunctional linker (succinimidyl-[(N-maleimidopropionamido)- hexaethylene glycol] ester) and the CpG-ODN DV230. Herein, we describe the evaluation of the purity and reactivity of linkers of different lengths for CpG-ODN-Ficoll conjugation, optimization of linker coupling, and conjugation of thiol-functionalized CpG to maleimide- functionalized Ficoll and process scale-up. Physicochemical character- ization of independently produced lots of DV230-Ficoll reveal a bioconjugate with a particle size of approximately 50 nm and covalent attachment of more than 100 molecules of CpG per Ficoll. Solutions of purified DV230-Ficoll were stable for at least 12 months at frozen and refrigerated temperatures and stability was further enhanced in lyophilized form. Compared to nonconjugated monomeric DV230, the DV230-Ficoll conjugate demonstrated improved in vitro potency for induction of IFN-α from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells and induced higher titer neutralizing antibody responses against coadministered anthrax recombinant protective antigen in mice.

  • Toll-Like Receptors As Potential Therapeutic Targets for Multiple Diseases
    REVIEWS TOLL-LIKE RECEPTORS AS POTENTIAL THERAPEUTIC TARGETS FOR MULTIPLE DISEASES Claudia Zuany-Amorim, John Hastewell and Christoph Walker The family of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) is receiving considerable attention as potential regulators and controllers of the immune response through their ability to recognize pathogen-associated molecular patterns. The discovery that endogenous ligands, as well as microbial components, are recognized by TLRs, and that small-molecular-mass synthetic compounds activate TLRs, raised interest in these receptors as potential targets for the development of new therapies for multiple diseases. In this review, we discuss the current and future use of TLR agonists or antagonists in chronic inflammatory diseases and highlight potential problems that are associated with such approaches. 2 INNATE IMMUNITY The immune system has been divided traditionally into PAMPs .

Toll-like receptors (TLR) are an emerging family of cells are among the non-immune cells that express TLR1, -2, receptors that recognize pathogen-associated molecular pat- -3, -4, and -6, suggesting that these TLR might contribute to terns and promote the activation of leukocytes and intrinsic the activation of immune responses in tubulointerstitial injury renal cells. Ligands of the TLR include exogenous microbial (e.g., bacterial pyelonephritis, sepsis, and transplant nephrop- components such as LPS (TLR4), lipoproteins and peptidogly- athy). In addition, TLR9 has been shown to be involved in cans (TLR1, -2, -6), viral RNA (TLR3), bacterial and viral antigen-induced immune complex glomerulonephritis and lu- unmethylated cytosin-guanosin dinucleotide (CpG)-DNA pus nephritis by regulating humoral and cellular immune re- (TLR9), and endogenous molecules including heat-shock pro- sponses.

  • Therapeutic Administration of a Synthetic Cpg Oligodeoxynucleotide Triggers Formation of Anti-Cpg Antibodies
    Published OnlineFirst June 27, 2012; DOI: 10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-12-0257 Cancer Priority Report Research Therapeutic Administration of a Synthetic CpG Oligodeoxynucleotide Triggers Formation of Anti-CpG Antibodies Julia Karbach1, Antje Neumann1, Claudia Wahle1, Kathrin Brand1, Sacha Gnjatic2, and Elke Jager€ 1 Abstract The synthetic oligodeoxynucleotide CpG 7909, which contains unmethylated cytosine/guanine (CpG) motifs, has potent immunostimulatory effects when coadministered with NY-ESO-1 peptides or recombinant NY-ESO-1 protein, resulting in an enhanced cellular and humoral immune response against the vaccine antigen. In this study, we report the development of anti-CpG-ODN antibodies in 21 of 37 patients who received CpG 7909 either alone or as a vaccine adjuvant. Specific anti-CpG immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody titers ranged from 1:400 to 1:100,000. The anti-CpG antibodies cross-reacted with other synthetic CpG-ODNs but not with the DNA of mixed bacterial vaccine and were shown to be phosphorothioate backbone specific. Vaccine-related severe side effects observed in some patients were most likely not related to the development of anti-CpG antibodies. In addition, anti-CpG antibodies did not have negative effects on the vaccine immune response. These results show that anti- CpG antibodies develop in humans against short unmethylated CpG dinucleotide sequences after administration of CpG 7909. Our data therefore substantiate the potency of CpG 7909 to directly stimulate human B-cells and suggest that anti-CpG antibody monitoring should be a part of ongoing and planned clinical trials with CpG- ODNs.
