B7-H7 Is Inducible on T Cells to Regulate Their Immune Response and Serves as a Marker for Exhaustion

Khang Luu, Herbert Schwarz, Andreas Lundqvist

Summary: The discovery of B7-H7 as an immune checkpoint highlights its potential as a target for immunotherapy, with conflicting data regarding its function suggesting it can have both stimulatory and inhibitory effects. B7-H7 is preferentially expressed on exhausted Th1 and Tc1 cells, and blockade of B7-H7 enhances T cell proliferation and activation, making it a potential biomarker for selecting active effector T cells in adoptive cell transfer therapy.

The amphibian immune system

Vania Lopez Ruiz, Jacques Robert

Summary: Amphibians play a crucial role in bridging the evolutionary gap between mammals and ancient vertebrates. Understanding their immune system, which is similar to that of mammals, is important for disease research. The African clawed frog, Xenopus laevis, is a good model for studying the immune system, particularly during early development stages. This review summarizes the knowledge about the innate and adaptive immune system of X. laevis and compares it with other amphibians. It also discusses the response of amphibians to viral, bacterial, and fungal infections.

Astragalus membranaceus polysaccharides potentiate the growth-inhibitory activity of immune checkpoint inhibitors against pulmonary metastatic melanoma in mice

Juyoung Hwang, Wei Zhang, Yadav Dhananjay, Eun-Koung An, Minseok Kwak, Sang Guan You, Peter Chang-Whan Lee, Jun-O Jin

Summary: Intranasal administration of Astragalus membranaceus polysaccharides (APS) activated mucosal immune cell populations and inhibited pulmonary metastatic melanoma in mice by stimulating NK cells and T cells in the mesenteric lymph nodes. The combination treatment of APS with anti-PD-L1 antibody showed a synergistic effect in inhibiting melanoma cell infiltration, with NK cells and CD8 T cells playing a critical role in mediating the anti-cancer immunity. These findings suggest that APS could serve as a topical mucosal adjuvant to enhance the anti-cancer effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors.

Innate immune responses to three doses of the BNT162b2 mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccine

Marina Saresella, Federica Piancone, Ivana Marventano, Ambra Hernis, Daria Trabattoni, Mattia Invernizzi, Francesca La Rosa, Mario Clerici

Summary: The study found that receiving the BNT162b2 vaccine significantly increased the number of inflammatory monocytes and various types of NK cells, as well as enhanced the production of interferon-gamma and the content of perforin and granzyme in NK cells. The vaccine also reduced the expression of the inhibitory receptor ILT-2 and increased the expression of the stimulatory molecule 2DS2. These effects were long-lasting and were further enhanced with each vaccine dose. It is worth noting that the reduction of ILT-2 expressing NK cells was more significant in individuals who had recovered from COVID-19.

Single-cell transcriptome profiling reveals the key role of ZNF683 in natural killer cell exhaustion in multiple myeloma

Xin Li, Mengping Chen, Yike Wan, Lu Zhong, Xiaofeng Han, Xiaotong Chen, Fei Xiao, Jia Liu, Yiwei Zhang, Di Zhu, Jing Xiang, Junling Liu, Honghui Huang, Jian Hou

Summary: Our study reveals that NK cell exhaustion in MM is associated with distinct transcriptomic features, including downregulation of activating receptors and cytolytic molecules and upregulation of inhibitory receptors. We identify ZNF683 as a transcriptional suppressor that directly binds to the promoter of SH2D1B, leading to downregulation of this gene and impaired NK cell cytotoxic activity.

NK cells enhance CAR-T cell antitumor efficacy by enhancing immune/tumor cells cluster formation and improving CAR-T cell fitness

Mireia Bachiller, Lorena Perez-Amill, Anthony Matthew Battram, Sebastian Ciro Carne, Amer Najjar, Els Verhoeyen, Manel Juan, Alvaro Urbano-Ispizua, Beatriz Martin-Antonio

Summary: This study demonstrates the important immunoregulatory role of CB-NK collaborating with CAR-T cells to enhance their antitumor activity. Combinatorial treatment based on CAR-T and CAR-NK cells or CB-NK and CAR-T cells showed that CB-NK required high doses for effectiveness, while a low number of CB-NK in the CAR-T product promoted early activation of CAR-T cells and enhanced anti-MM efficacy.

Tumor MHC class I expression alters cancer-associated myelopoiesis driven by host NK cells

Shi Yong Neo, Xu Jing, Le Tong, Dongmei Tong, Juan Gao, Ziqing Chen, Mireia Cruz De Los Santos, Nutsa Burduli, Sabrina De Souza Ferreira, Arnika Kathleen Wagner, Evren Alici, Charlotte Rolny, Yihai Cao, Andreas Lundqvist

Summary: Downregulation of MHCI molecules on tumor cells is recognized as a resistance mechanism of cancer immunotherapy. This study found that the expression of MHCI by tumor cells influences systemic immune responses and NK cells play an important role in regulating tumor progression. Mice bearing MHCI-deficient tumor cells showed reduced tumor-associated extramedullary myelopoiesis in the spleen, which was reversed by NK cell depletion. Furthermore, an upregulation of TNF-alpha by NK cells was observed in mice with MHCI-expressing tumors, and inhibition of TNF-alpha enhanced host myelopoiesis in mice receiving adoptive transfer of tumor-experienced NK cells.

The functional diversity of tissue-resident natural killer cells against infection

Toby Le, Roger Keith Reeves, Lyle Robert McKinnon

Summary: For decades, research on NK cells has mainly focused on those found in peripheral blood, but recently, tissue-resident NK cells have gained attention. These cells have different functions in different tissues, with liver and lung tissue-resident NK cells exhibiting immediate responsiveness to infection and protective mechanisms. Decidual NK cells have reduced cytotoxicity but play a role in preventing uterine infections. The functional differences of gut tissue-resident NK cells are still not well-understood.

Multiplex interrogation of the NK cell signalome reveals global downregulation of CD16 signaling during lentivirus infection through an IL-18/ADAM17-dependent mechanism

Sho Sugawara, Brady Hueber, Griffin Woolley, Karen Terry, Kyle Kroll, Cordelia Manickam, Daniel R. Ram, Lishomwa C. Ndhlovu, Paul Goepfert, Stephanie Jost, R. Keith Reeves

Summary: Natural killer (NK) cells play important roles in defense against HIV-1 and SIV infections, but their functions are often dysregulated. The comprehensive understanding of NK cell signaling is lacking. In this study, we developed a multiplex signaling assay for NK cells and found that CD16 signaling is downregulated in chronic lentiviral infections. We demonstrated that increased ADAM17 expression and elevated plasma IL-18 levels are involved in this downregulation, and perturbing ADAM17 can restore CD16 expression and signaling. This study provides insights into impaired NK cell activities and offers potential for NK cell-based immunotherapeutics for HIV-1 disease.

Philippe Rascle, Griffin Woolley, Stephanie Jost, Cordelia Manickam, R. Keith Reeves

Summary: Natural killer (NK) cells play a critical role in defending against viral infections and cancers. The balance between activating and inhibitory NK cell receptors determines the overall NK cell response. NK cell education, which is influenced by factors such as self-major histocompatibility complex class I (MHC-I) molecules and inhibitory KIR expression, is crucial in generating tuned effector NK cell responses in different diseases. This review discusses the relationship between NK cell education and various physiological factors, as well as the diverse effector functions of educated NK cells in different pathologies.
