We developed a murine IgG1 mAb, 5G9, following immunization of a BALB/c mouse with Daudi cells. By immunoprecipitation, 5G9 reacted with a 220-kDa Ag on Daudi cells, which reduced to four subunits (55, 65, 80, and 85 kDa). mAb 5G9 bound to 40-60% of peripheral blood B cells, weakly reacted with monocytes and granulocytes, and did not bind to erythrocytes, platelets, T cells, or NK cells. mAb 5G9 brightly stained scattered cells in human tonsil sections, which appeared to be dendritic cells (DC) by morphology. mAb 5G9 also stained scattered cells in cytospin slides of monocyte-derived DC with long, thin, beaded membrane processes, morphologically distinct from other monocyte-derived DC. Positive selection of blood mononuclear cells with mAb 5G9 and sheep anti-mouse IgG Dynabeads demonstrated an enriched population of DC. By flow cytometry analysis, these cells were CD19, CD20, CD22, CD40, CD44, CD83, CD86, IgD, and HLA-Dr positive and either kappa- or lambda-L chain positive. They did not express CD3, CD4, CD5, CD10, CD11b, CD13, CD25, CD56, CD14, CD33, or CD64. Isolated 5G9+ cells were potent APCs in allogeneic MLR, compared with 5G9- PBMC, 5G9- B cells, monocytes, and monocytes cultured in IL-4 and GM-CSF for 24 h. mAb 5G9 defines a novel peripheral blood cell with B cell phenotype and DC morphology and function: DC-like B cells. The significance of this cell in immune responses requires further study.

The ability of CD34+ leukemic cells to differentiate to dendritic cells (DCs) was investigated in 18 acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and 4 lymphoid leukemia (ALL) patients. The generation of DCs was determined by the expression of DC-associated CD1a or CD83 (more than 30%) with costimulatory molecules, by CD80 antigens (>20%), and by the exhibition of allostimulatory activity. In the AML patients, allostimulatory mature DCs were generated from 3 of 9 M0 or M1, 2 of 5 M2,2 of 4 M4 or M5, and 3 of 4 ALL (L2) cases. In total, DCs were more efficiently induced from cases expressing over 75% of CD34+ among whole bone marrow mononuclear cells (8 of 12), compared with those under 75% (2 of 10; P < .05). B-cell (CD19), natural killer (NK)-cell (CD56), or T-cell (CD7) lineage markers, which were aberrantly expressed on the blasts, were rarely found on leukemic DCs at the end of the culture period, and myeloid (CD13, CD33), not lymphoid (CD10), markers were shown on ALL-derived DCs. In Philadelphia chromosome-positive ALL or AML patients with t (8;21), DCs were confirmed to be of leukemic origin by fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis.

Targeted therapy is a potentially useful approach for antileukemic therapy, in particular eliminating minimal residual disease (MRD) to prevent tumor relapse. In this study, the immunomodulator (MDP-Ab) was constructed by coupling anti-CD10 monoclonal antibody (MAb) and muramyl dipeptide (MDP) using heterobifunctional reagent SPDP and the activity of MDP-Ab through dendritic cells (DCs)-based immunotherapy was identified in targeted therapy for leukemia. Results showed that the molecular ratio of purified MDP-Ab immunomodulator was about 2:1 according to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The immunoreactivity and specificity of the new immunomodulator on CD10 antigen was identical to that of unconjugated native anti-CD10 MAb. The immunomodulatory effect of MDP-Ab immunoconjugate on peripheral blood dendritic cells (PBDCs) from children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) exhibited upregulated expression of HLA-DR, co-stimulatory marker (CD80 and CD86) and maturity marker (CD83), increased cytokine secretion (interleukin-12, IL-12) and enhanced autostimulatory activity. These results in vitro suggested that MDP-Ab immunoconjugate may be a suitable candidate for targeting trials and support the further development of vaccination with the new immunomodulator-triggered DCs as a post-remission treatment to prevent relapse in ALL children.

Failure of uterine vascular transformation is associated with pregnancy complications including Intra Uterine Growth Restriction (IUGR). The decidua and its immune cell populations play a key role in the earliest stages of this process. Here we investigate the hypothesis that abnormal decidualization and failure of maternal immune tolerance in the second trimester may underlie the uteroplacental pathology of IUGR. Placental bed biopsies were obtained from women undergoing elective caesarian delivery of a healthy term pregnancy, an IUGR pregnancy or a pregnancy complicated by both IUGR and preeclampsia. Decidual tissues were also collected from second trimester terminations from women with either normal or high uterine artery Doppler pulsatile index (PI). Immunohistochemical image analysis and flow cytometry were used to quantify vascular remodeling, decidual leukocytes and decidual status in cases vs. controls. Biopsies from pregnancies complicated by severe IUGR with a high uterine artery pulsatile index (PI) displayed a lack of: myometrial vascular transformation, interstitial, and endovascular extravillous trophoblast (EVT) invasion, and a lower number of maternal leukocytes. Apoptotic mural EVT were observed in association with mature dendritic cells and T cells in the IUGR samples. Second trimester pregnancies with high uterine artery PI displayed a higher incidence of small for gestational age fetuses; a skewed decidual immunology with higher numbers of; CD8 T cells, mature CD83 dendritic cells and lymphatic vessels that were packed with decidual leukocytes. The decidual stromal cells (DSCs) failed to differentiate into the large secretory DSC in these cases, remaining small and cuboidal and expressing lower levels of the nuclear progesterone receptor isoform B, and DSC markers Insulin Growth Factor Binding protein-1 (IGFBP-1) and CD10 as compared to controls. This study shows that defective progesterone mediated decidualization and a hostile maternal immune response against the invading endovascular EVT contribute to the failure of uterovascular remodeling in IUGR pregnancies.

We have previously characterized a human blood CD19+CD1c+IgM+CD27+CD21loCD10+ innate-like B-cell population, which presents features shared by both transitional immature and marginal zone (MZ) B-cells, named herein "precursor-like" MZ B-cells. B-cells with similar attributes have been associated with regulatory potential (Breg). In order to clarify this issue and better characterize this population, we have proceeded to RNA-Seq transcriptome profiling of mature MZ and precursor-like MZ B-cells taken from the blood of healthy donors. We report that ex vivo mature MZ and precursor-like MZ B-cells express transcripts for the immunoregulatory marker CD83 and nuclear receptors NR4A1, 2, and 3, known to be associated with T-cell regulatory (Treg) maintenance and function. Breg associated markers such as CD39 and CD73 were also expressed by both populations. We also show that human blood and tonsillar precursor-like MZ B-cells were the main B-cell population to express elevated levels of CD83 and NR4A1-3 proteins ex vivo and without stimulation. Sorted tonsillar precursor-like MZ B-cells exerted regulatory activity on autologous activated CD4+ T-cells, and this was affected by a CD83 blocking reagent. We believe these observations shed light on the Breg potential of MZ populations, and identify NR4A1-3 as potential Breg markers, which as for Tregs, may be involved in stabilization of a regulatory status. Since expression and activity of these molecules can be modulated therapeutically, our findings may be useful in strategies aiming at modulation of Breg responses.
