HIV disease progression despite suppression of viral replication is associated with exhaustion of lymphopoiesis.
The mechanisms of CD4(+) T-cell count decline,the hallmark of HIV disease progression,and its relationship to elevated levels of immune activation are not fully understood. Massive depletion of CD4(+) T cells occurs during the course of HIV-1 infection,so that maintenance of adequate CD4(+) T-cell levels probably depends primarily on the capacity to renew depleted lymphocytes,that is,the lymphopoiesis. We performed here a comprehensive study of quantitative and qualitative attributes of CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitor cells directly from the blood of a large set of HIV-infected persons compared with uninfected donors,in particular the elderly. Our analyses underline a marked impairment of primary immune resources with the failure to maintain adequate lymphocyte counts. Systemic immune activation emerges as a major correlate of altered lymphopoiesis,which can be partially reversed with prolonged antiretroviral therapy. Importantly,HIV disease progression despite elite control of HIV replication or virologic success on antiretroviral treatment is associated with persistent damage to the lymphopoietic system or exhaustion of lymphopoiesis. These findings highlight the importance of primary hematopoietic resources in HIV pathogenesis and the response to antiretroviral treatments.

High-avidity cytotoxic T lymphocytes specific for a new PRAME-derived peptide can target leukemic and leukemic-precursor cells.
The cancer testis antigen (CTA) preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma (PRAME) is overexpressed by many hematologic malignancies,but is absent on normal tissues,including hematopoietic progenitor cells,and may therefore be an appropriate candidate for T cell-mediated immunotherapy. Because it is likely that an effective antitumor response will require high-avidity,PRAME-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs),we attempted to generate such CTLs using professional and artificial antigen-presenting cells loaded with a peptide library spanning the entire PRAME protein and consisting of 125 synthetic pentadecapeptides overlapping by 11 amino acids. We successfully generated polyclonal,PRAME-specific CTL lines and elicited high-avidity CTLs,with a high proportion of cells recognizing a previously uninvestigated HLA-A*02-restricted epitope,P435-9mer (NLTHVLYPV). These PRAME-CTLs could be generated both from normal donors and from subjects with PRAME(+) hematologic malignancies. The cytotoxic activity of our PRAME-specific CTLs was directed not only against leukemic blasts,but also against leukemic progenitor cells as assessed by colony-forming-inhibition assays,which have been implicated in leukemia relapse. These PRAME-directed CTLs did not affect normal hematopoietic progenitors,indicating that this approach may be of value for immunotherapy of PRAME(+) hematologic malignancies.

Immunotherapy with TCR-Redirected T Cells: Comparison of TCR-Transduced and TCR-Engineered Hematopoietic Stem Cell-Derived T Cells
Redirecting Ag specificity by transfer of TCR genes into PBLs is an attractive method to generate large numbers of cytotoxic T cells for immunotherapy of cancer and viral diseases. However,transferred TCR chains can pair with endogenous TCR chains,resulting in the formation of mispaired TCR dimers and decreased or unspecific reactivity. TCR gene transfer into hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is an alternative to create T cells with desired Ag specificity,because in this case expression of endogenous TCR chains is then less likely owing to allelic exclusion. We generated TCR-transduced T cells from peripheral T cells using the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus-specific P14 TCR. After transfer of the P14 TCR genes into HSCs and subsequent reconstitution of irradiated mice,TCR-engineered HSC-derived T cells were produced. We then compared the Ag-specific T cell populations with P14 TCR-transgenic T cells for their therapeutic efficiency in three in vivo models. In this study,we demonstrate that TCR-transduced T cells and TCR-engineered HSC-derived T cells are comparable in controlling lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection in mice and suppress growth of B16 tumor cells expressing the cognate Ag in a comparable manner.

Intrinsic Immunity Shapes Viral Resistance of Stem Cells.
Stem cells are highly resistant to viral infection compared to their differentiated progeny; however,the mechanism is mysterious. Here,we analyzed gene expression in mammalian stem cells and cells at various stages of differentiation. We find that,conserved across species,stem cells express a subset of genes previously classified as interferon (IFN) stimulated genes (ISGs) but that expression is intrinsic,as stem cells are refractory to interferon. This intrinsic ISG expression varies in a cell-type-specific manner,and many ISGs decrease upon differentiation,at which time cells become IFN responsive,allowing induction of a broad spectrum of ISGs by IFN signaling. Importantly,we show that intrinsically expressed ISGs protect stem cells against viral infection. We demonstrate the in vivo importance of intrinsic ISG expression for protecting stem cells and their differentiation potential during viral infection. These findings have intriguing implications for understanding stem cell biology and the evolution of pathogen resistance.

Cell death and differentiation
Necroptotic signaling is primed in Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected macrophages, but its pathophysiological consequence in disease is restricted.
Mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL)-dependent necroptosis is thought to be implicated in the death of mycobacteria-infected macrophages,reportedly allowing escape and dissemination of the microorganism. Given the consequent interest in developing inhibitors of necroptosis to treat Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) infection,we used human pharmacologic and murine genetic models to definitively establish the pathophysiological role of necroptosis in Mtb infection. We observed that Mtb infection of macrophages remodeled the intracellular signaling landscape by upregulating MLKL,TNFR1,and ZBP1,whilst downregulating cIAP1,thereby establishing a strong pro-necroptotic milieu. However,blocking necroptosis either by deleting Mlkl or inhibiting RIPK1 had no effect on the survival of infected human or murine macrophages. Consistent with this,MLKL-deficiency or treatment of humanized mice with the RIPK1 inhibitor Nec-1s did not impact on disease outcomes in vivo,with mice displaying lung histopathology and bacterial burdens indistinguishable from controls. Therefore,although the necroptotic pathway is primed by Mtb infection,macrophage necroptosis is ultimately restricted to mitigate disease pathogenesis. We identified cFLIP upregulation that may promote caspase 8-mediated degradation of CYLD,and other necrosome components,as a possible mechanism abrogating Mtb's capacity to coopt necroptotic signaling. Variability in the capacity of these mechanisms to interfere with necroptosis may influence disease severity and could explain the heterogeneity of Mtb infection and disease.

A neutralizing anti-G-CSFR antibody blocks G-CSF-induced neutrophilia without inducing neutropenia in nonhuman primates.
Neutrophils are the most abundant WBCs and have an essential role in the clearance of pathogens. Tight regulation of neutrophil numbers and their recruitment to sites of inflammation is critical in maintaining a balanced immune response. In various inflammatory conditions,such as rheumatoid arthritis,vasculitis,cystic fibrosis,and inflammatory bowel disease,increased serum G-CSF correlates with neutrophilia and enhanced neutrophil infiltration into inflamed tissues. We describe a fully human therapeutic anti-G-CSFR antibody (CSL324) that is safe and well tolerated when administered via i.v. infusion to cynomolgus macaques. CSL324 was effective in controlling G-CSF-mediated neutrophilia when administered either before or after G-CSF. A single ascending-dose study showed CSL324 did not alter steady-state neutrophil numbers,even at doses sufficient to completely prevent G-CSF-mediated neutrophilia. Weekly infusions of CSL324 (%10 mg/kg) for 3 wk completely neutralized G-CSF-mediated pSTAT3 phosphorylation without neutropenia. Moreover,repeat dosing up to 100 mg/kg for 12 wk did not result in neutropenia at any point,including the 12-wk follow-up after the last infusion. In addition,CSL324 had no observable effect on basic neutrophil functions,such as phagocytosis and oxidative burst. These data suggest that targeting G-CSFR may provide a safe and effective means of controlling G-CSF-mediated neutrophilia as observed in various inflammatory diseases.

Transduction of human CD34+ cells that mediate long-term engraftment of NOD/SCID mice by HIV vectors.
Efficient gene transfer into human hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is an important goal in the study of the hematopoietic system as well as for gene therapy of hematopoietic disorders. A lentiviral vector based on the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) was able to transduce human CD34+ cells capable of stable,long-term reconstitution of nonobese diabetic/severe combined immunodeficient (NOD/SCID) mice. High-efficiency transduction occurred in the absence of cytokine stimulation and resulted in transgene expression in multiple lineages of human hematopoietic cells for up to 22 weeks after transplantation.

Mast cells are permissive for rhinovirus replication: potential implications for asthma exacerbations.
BACKGROUND Human rhinoviruses (HRVs) are a major trigger of asthma exacerbations,with the bronchial epithelium being the major site of HRV infection and replication. Mast cells (MCs) play a key role in asthma where their numbers are increased in the bronchial epithelium with increasing disease severity. OBJECTIVE In view of the emerging role of MCs in innate immunity and increased localization to the asthmatic bronchial epithelium,we investigated whether HRV infection of MCs generated innate immune responses which were protective against infection. METHODS The LAD2 MC line or primary human cord blood-derived MCs (CBMCs) were infected with HRV or UV-irradiated HRV at increasing multiplicities of infection (MOI) without or with IFN-β or IFN-λ. After 24 h,innate immune responses were assessed by RT-qPCR and IFN protein release by ELISA. Viral replication was determined by RT-qPCR and virion release by TCID50 assay. RESULTS HRV infection of LAD2 MCs induced expression of IFN-β,IFN-λ and IFN-stimulated genes. However,LAD2 MCs were permissive for HRV replication and release of infectious HRV particles. Similar findings were observed with CBMCs. Neutralization of the type I IFN receptor had minimal effects on viral shedding,suggesting that endogenous type I IFN signalling offered limited protection against HRV. However,augmentation of these responses by exogenous IFN-β,but not IFN-λ,protected MCs against HRV infection. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE MCs are permissive for the replication and release of HRV,which is prevented by exogenous IFN-β treatment. Taken together,these findings suggest a novel mechanism whereby MCs may contribute to HRV-induced asthma exacerbations.

Directed evolution of a recombinase that excises the provirus of most HIV-1 primary isolates with high specificity.
Current combination antiretroviral therapies (cART) efficiently suppress HIV-1 reproduction in humans,but the virus persists as integrated proviral reservoirs in small numbers of cells. To generate an antiviral agent capable of eradicating the provirus from infected cells,we employed 145 cycles of substrate-linked directed evolution to evolve a recombinase (Brec1) that site-specifically recognizes a 34-bp sequence present in the long terminal repeats (LTRs) of the majority of the clinically relevant HIV-1 strains and subtypes. Brec1 efficiently,precisely and safely removes the integrated provirus from infected cells and is efficacious on clinical HIV-1 isolates in vitro and in vivo,including in mice humanized with patient-derived cells. Our data suggest that Brec1 has potential for clinical application as a curative HIV-1 therapy.

Macrophage models of Gaucher disease for evaluating disease pathogenesis and candidate drugs.
Gaucher disease is caused by an inherited deficiency of glucocerebrosidase that manifests with storage of glycolipids in lysosomes,particularly in macrophages. Available cell lines modeling Gaucher disease do not demonstrate lysosomal storage of glycolipids; therefore,we set out to develop two macrophage models of Gaucher disease that exhibit appropriate substrate accumulation. We used these cellular models both to investigate altered macrophage biology in Gaucher disease and to evaluate candidate drugs for its treatment. We generated and characterized monocyte-derived macrophages from 20 patients carrying different Gaucher disease mutations. In addition,we created induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived macrophages from five fibroblast lines taken from patients with type 1 or type 2 Gaucher disease. Macrophages derived from patient monocytes or iPSCs showed reduced glucocerebrosidase activity and increased storage of glucocerebroside and glucosylsphingosine in lysosomes. These macrophages showed efficient phagocytosis of bacteria but reduced production of intracellular reactive oxygen species and impaired chemotaxis. The disease phenotype was reversed with a noninhibitory small-molecule chaperone drug that enhanced glucocerebrosidase activity in the macrophages,reduced glycolipid storage,and normalized chemotaxis and production of reactive oxygen species. Macrophages differentiated from patient monocytes or patient-derived iPSCs provide cellular models that can be used to investigate disease pathogenesis and facilitate drug development.

Wild-type measles virus interferes with short-term engraftment of human CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells.
Transient lymphopenia is a hallmark of measles virus (MV)-induced immunosuppression. To address to what extent replenishment of the peripheral lymphocyte compartment from bone marrow (BM) progenitor/stem cells might be affected,we analyzed the interaction of wild-type MV with hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HS/PCs) and stroma cells in vitro. Infection of human CD34(+) HS/PCs or stroma cells with wild-type MV is highly inefficient yet noncytolytic. It occurs independently of CD150 in stroma cells but also in HS/PCs,where infection is established in CD34(+) CD150(-) and CD34(+) CD150(+) (in humans representing HS/PC oligopotent precursors) subsets. Stroma cells and HS/PCs can mutually transmit MV and may thereby create a possible niche for continuous viral exchange in the BM. Infected lymphocytes homing to this compartment may serve as sources for HS/PC or stroma cell infection,as reflected by highly efficient transmission of MV from both populations in cocultures with MV-infected B or T cells. Though MV exposure does not detectably affect the viability,expansion,and colony-forming activity of either CD150(+) or CD150(-) HS/PCs in vitro,it efficiently interferes with short- but not long-term hematopoietic reconstitution in NOD/SCID mice. Altogether,these findings support the hypothesis that MV accession of the BM compartment by infected lymphocytes may contribute to peripheral blood mononuclear cell lymphopenia at the level of BM suppression.

Multiple apoptotic defects in hematopoietic cells from mice lacking lipocalin 24p3.
The lipocalin mouse 24p3 has been implicated in diverse physiological processes,including apoptosis,iron trafficking,development and innate immunity. Studies from our laboratory as well as others demonstrated the proapoptotic activity of 24p3 in a variety of cultured models. However,a general role for the lipocalin 24p3 in the hematopoietic system has not been tested in vivo. To study the role of 24p3,we derived 24p3 null mice and back-crossed them onto C57BL/6 and 129/SVE backgrounds. Homozygous 24p3(-/-) mice developed a progressive accumulation of lymphoid,myeloid,and erythroid cells,which was not due to enhanced hematopoiesis because competitive repopulation and recovery from myelosuppression were the same as for wild type. Instead,apoptotic defects were unique to many mature hematopoietic cell types,including neutrophils,cytokine-dependent mast cells,thymocytes,and erythroid cells. Thymocytes isolated from 24p3 null mice also displayed resistance to apoptosis-induced by dexamethasone. Bim response to various apoptotic stimuli was attenuated in 24p3(-/-) cells,thus explaining their resistance to the ensuing cell death. The results of these studies,in conjunction with those of previous studies,reveal 24p3 as a regulator of the hematopoietic compartment with important roles in normal physiology and disease progression. Interestingly,these functions are limited to relatively mature blood cell compartments.
