▼ The adaptive immune response against intracellular
pathogens is largely mediated by CD8+ T lymphocytes. The clonal
expansion and expression of cytolytic and immune stimulatory
proteins by CD8+ T cells is responsible for their protective immune
function. Prior to exhibiting effector activity, CD8+ T cells exist
in a naïve state and require three stimulatory signals for their
optimal activation including the recognition of antigen,
co-stimulator ligand engagement, and the presence of
pro-inflammatory cytokines. When these activation requirements are
met, CD8+ T cells undergo a well described series of events
including clonal expansion, cellular contraction, memory
generation, and memory maintenance. The memory CD8+ T cell
population generated can survive for the life-time of the host, and
provides more rapid and robust protection upon re-infection then
their naïve precursors. While some factors that induce this
sequence of events have been identified, the role of co-stimulation
remains relatively undefined. This is due to the large number of
co-stimulator receptors expressed by CD8+ T cells that may be
ligated individually and/or in combination, to instruct the
development of specific effector and memory CD8+ T cell phenotypes.
Using a bead-based ligand presentation system, I investigated the
role of co-stimulation in directing naïve CD8+ T cell activation,
and the generation of T cell populations with distinct effector and
memory fates. I identified ICAM-1 as the stimulatory molecule best
able to induce naïve CD8+ T cell proliferation and expression of
the effector molecule granzyme B, while co-stimulation through CD28
was required to induce IFN-γ. When provided in combination however,
B7.1 and ICAM-1 co-stimulation generated CD8+ T cells which were
highly cytolytic and expressed high amounts of IFN-γ. These cells
also exhibited enhanced survival once activated, with sustained
expression of anti-apoptotic proteins and secretion of high amounts
of IL-2, resulting in these cells exhibiting a terminal effector
phenotype. While other co-stimulator combinations also enhanced
CD8+ T cell survival to some degree, their ability to sustain high
expression of IL-2 was limited. This translated into less potent
effector responses and preferential memory precursor development
based on transcription factor expression.

▼ Programmed death-1 (PD-1) et ses ligands PD-L1 et PD-L2 appartiennent à la famille B7 : CD28 des molécules de cosignalisation immunitaire. Leur interaction délivre un signal inhibiteur à l’activation lymphocytaire. Ces molécules sont impliquées non seulement dans le contrôle de la tolérance, mais aussi dans un mécanisme d’échappement tumoral et viral au système immunitaire. Les deux ligands de PD-1 : PD-L1 et PD-L2 montrent une expression tissulaire assez large, témoignant de leur rôle étendu aux différents stades de la réponse immunitaire. L’expression de PD-L1 est plus large que celle de PD-L2. PD-L1 est exprimé sur les cellules hématopoïétiques et non hématopoïétiques, PDL2 présente une expression assez restreinte aux CPAs professionnelles. L’expression de PD-L1 et PD-L2 est fortement régulée dans plusieurs cas pathologiques et notamment dans les cancers. La régulation de l’expression de PD-L2 qui fait l’objet de notre étude, représente une cible importante dans le domaine de l’immunothérapie. Notre projet porte sur l’analyse de l’expression, la régulation et la fonction de PD-L2 dans les LT, dans différents contextes physiologiques et pathologiques. Nous avons pu démontrer que PD-L2 qui avait été décrit chez la souris pour son expression restreinte aux CDs et aux macrophages, était de façon surprenante exprimé avec son homologue PD-L1 sur les LT après costimulation CD3+CD28. Nous l’avons confirmé ex vivo par activation par Staphylococcal enterotoxin E. Ce résultat montre que PD-L2 est bien induit sur des LT dans des conditions d’activation physiologique ou pathologique. Nous avons pu démontrer aussi une régulation négative de l’expression transcriptionnelle et protéique de PD-L1 et de PDL2 sous l’effet de la CyclosporineA (CsA). Cet effet est indépendant de l’action de l’IL-2. Nos données d’analyses bioinformatiques nous ont permis d’identifier les sites putatifs de fixation de facteurs de transcription au niveau du promoteur du gène pd-l2, qui peuvent être régulés par la CsA. L’analyse de la fonction de PDL2 sur les LT nous a permis de démontrer que la stimulation de PDL2 par des anticorps monoclonaux fabriqués dans le laboratoire inhibait l’activation T. Nos résultats démontrent pour la première fois une fonction de PDL2 et une signalisation « reverse siglaling » dans les LT potentiels. La caractérisation fonctionnelle et l’étude des voies de signalisation de PD-L2 que nous avons déjà étudié dans notre projet, représentent une piste importante à explorer. Cela permettrait de proposer de nouvelles stratégies permettant de lutter contre les mécanismes d’échappement tumoral.

▼ T lymphocytes (T cells) are powerful directors and
effectors of immunity. The system of pseudo-random rearrangements
of the T cell receptor (TCR) loci that underlie their ability to
recognize a vast universe of molecular patterns is at once useful
and dangerous, because many T cells develop TCR that can recognize
self, and while most developing T cells with high affinity for self
are removed from the repertoire during thymic development, the
process is not perfect and some dangerous clones escape. These
newly generated T cells have only passed through one “filtration”
process in the thymus, and therefore peripheral tolerance
mechanisms are critical in order to avoid autoimmunity. Homeostasis
of T cells in the periphery is tightly regulated by competition for
a finite resource pool, including homeostatic cytokines and
relevant peptide:MHC (pMHC) complexes with which a T cell can
interact and receive at least a “tonic” or greater signal. In
conditions of lymphopenia, which can arise as a consequence of
viral infections, clinical interventions, and other stimuli,
resources are in excess and T cells will undergo a process of
lymphopenia-induced proliferation (LIP) to fill their available
niche. Importantly, LIP is strongly associated with inflammatory
disease. The co-inhibitory receptor programmed death-1 (PD-1) is
expressed on T cells where it provides inhibitory signals that help
prevent inappropriate T cell activation or keep T cells in an
unresponsive state. PD-1-/- mice are predisposed to infrequent and
mild autoimmunity. In contrast, reconstitution of the lymphoid
compartment of lymphopenic adult Rag-/- mice with PD-1-/-
hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) gives rise to a rapid and severe
systemic autoimmune disease shortly after the first newly generated
T cells emerge from the thymus. Thus a “three strikes” combination
of newly generated T cells, deficiency of PD-1, and LIP synergizes
to promote autoimmunity. Our goal herein was to explore the
mechanisms and cells underlying the disease in this model. One of
PD-1’s ligands, PD-L1, has been associated with the generation of
peripheral FoxP3+ regulatory T cells (pTreg), which are critical
mediators of immune tolerance. Also, while PD-1 is known to be
up-regulated following conventional T cell activation, we
hypothesized that PD-1 might control the comparatively weak “tonic”
signals T cells receive in response to self pMHC, and in the
setting of LIP of newly generated T cells, this lack of restraint
on normally tonic signals led to a widespread self pMHC-directed
polyclonal response. We examined the role of PD-1 in the control of
pTreg generation and found that deficiency of PD-1 does not
preclude pTreg generation or regulatory T cell function. Instead,
PD-1 is important for restraining the expansion of both
conventional and regulatory cells in a lymphopenic host, suggesting
that clinical approaches to tumour immunotherapy mediated by PD-1
blockade are unlikely to work by inhibiting tumour-associated pTreg
generation and may actually expand them. We also found that PD-1…

▼ L'activation des lymphocytes T est initié à la fois de TCR et l'engagement du co-récepteur. CD28 est le plus important sur les cellules T naïves. Cette activation doit être strictement réglementé, depuis son apparition inexacte pourrait être de conséquences néfastes. Nous avons signalé que TCR et CD28 début signalisation génèrent mécanisme de détection de coïncidence dans l'initiation de l'activation des cellules T naïves. Tout d'abord, nous avons constaté que TCR déclenchement avec ligand apparenté pMHC ou anticorps augmente considérablement la liaison 2D du CD28 à ses ligands B7 et dépend à la fois la queue cytoplasmique de CD28 et l'activité de Src kinases. En outre, on a observé une interaction TCR-pMHC pour améliorer la phosphorylation sur tyrosine de CD28 induite lors de l'engagement de B7. L'analyse du récepteur déclenché par événements de signalisation dans les cellules CD4 + naïves cellules T ont montré que seul TCR ou la stimulation de CD28 est seulement capable d'induire une Ca2 faible ou minimal + réponse en dépit de la phospholipase facilement détectée C- une phosphorylation, mais la stimulation concomitante des deux voies suscité efficacement forte et soutenue + entrée Ca2 impliquant les canaux CRAC. Ainsi, notre étude a révélé apparition de la détection de coïncidence à deux étapes importantes au cours de la TCR et CD28 déclenchée par l'activation des cellules T naïves, se liant à savoir le ligand et le déclenchement des récepteurs et la mobilisation intracellulaire, qui fournit d'importantes nouvelles connaissances sur le mécanisme de l'initiation de la réponse immunitaire primaire, ainsi que sa régulation.
T cell activation is initiated by signaling pathways triggered upon ligand engagement of the TCR and co-stimulatory receptors, respectively, with CD28 being the major one among the latter class of molecules on naïve T cells. At the same time, such activation needs to be tightly regulated, since its improper occurrence might be of detrimental consequences. We report here that interactions between TCR and CD28 early signaling pathways generate coincidence detection mechanism in the initiation of naïve T cell activation. First, we found that in naïve CD4+ T cells, TCR engagement with pMHC cognate ligand or antibody significantly increases the 2D binding of CD28 to its B7 ligands and this increase depends on both the cytoplasmic tail of CD28 and activity of src kinases. Moreover, TCR-pMHC interaction was observed to enhance the tyrosine phosphorylation of CD28 induced upon B7 engagement. Analysis of the receptor-triggered signaling events in naïve CD4+ T cells showed that alone TCR or CD28 stimulation was only capable of inducing a weak or minimal Ca2+ response in spite of the readily detected phospholipase C-1 phosphorylation, but the concurrent stimulation of both pathways efficiently elicited strong and sustained Ca2+ mobilization involving the CRAC channels. Our study has thus uncovered occurrence of the coincidence detection at two major steps during the TCR- and CD28-triggered activation…

▼ The Tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) family member 4-1BB and its TNF family ligand, 4-1BBL, are important in modulating multiple stages of the CD8 T cell response. Here I show that during a mild influenza infection, 4-1BBL is completely dispensable for initial T cell responses, viral clearance and mouse survival. In contrast, during severe influenza infection with prolonged viral load, 4-1BB expression is sustained on lung T cells and 4-1BBL is upregulated in the lung compared to mild influenza infection. Under these conditions, 4-1BBL-deficiency results in a decreased CD8 T cell response in the lungs, higher viral load, impaired lung function and increased mortality. These findings suggest that the sustained expression of 4-1BB and its ligand as a function of viral load fine-tunes the CD8 T cell response to a level appropriate for the severity of infection. 4-1BBL is also important for maintaining CD8 memory T cell survival following the clearance of an infection. I found that 4-1BB is selectively expressed on a subset of memory CD8 T cells in the bone marrow. I further showed that the TNFR family member GITR is intrinsically required on CD8 memory T cells for 4-1BB expression in vivo, and that 4-1BB on CD8 T cells interacting with 4-1BBL on a radio-resistant cell in the bone marrow contributes to CD8 memory T cell survival. Immunotherapy with 4-1BB agonists has shown efficacy in eradication of tumors in several mouse models. These effects have been attributed to 4-1BB on multiple cell types. I found that 4-1BB either on transferred T cells or on host T cells was necessary and sufficient for inducing regression of established tumors when anti-4-1BB is combined with adoptive T cell therapy. This thesis highlights the importance of the CD8 T cell intrinsic role of 4-1BB in the immune system.

▼ During persistent viral infections such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in human or lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) in mice, the immune response must achieve a balance between immune control and pathology. CD4
T cell help and
co-stimulatory factors remain under-investigated in this context. This thesis explores the role of the Glucocorticoid-Induced Tumour Necrosis Factor Receptor-Related Protein (GITR) and its efficacy as a target for therapy in chronic infection. Mice that lack the
T cell
co-stimulatory molecule GITR have impaired LCMV-specific CD8
T cell responses and control of chronic LCMV infection. The effects of GITR were lost when mice were depleted of CD4
T cells. GITR directly supports the accumulation of IL-2+
T helper type 1 (Th1) cells, thereby indirectly facilitating early LCMV-specific CD8
T cell responses, late B cell responses, and viral control. In vivo GITR-induced signals were detected at day 3 post-infection, and defects in CD4
T cell accumulation in GITR-deficient
T cells were apparent starting at day 5 post-infection. GITR-Ligand (GITRL) is maximally induced on antigen presenting cells at day 2 post-infection, but is downregulated to below baseline levels by day 8 post-infection, and remains so at the chronic stage of infection (day 21 post-infection). GITR expression was highest on regulatory
T cells (Tregs) but was also detected on Th1 and LCMV-specific CD8
T cells at day 8 post-infection and was maintained at low levels at day 21 post-infection. As GITRL was limiting at this late time point, we investigated the potential of therapeutic stimulation of GITR using an anti-GITR agonist monoclonal antibody. Anti-GITR treatment at day 21 post-infection increased the frequency and number of LCMV-specific CD8
T cells and improved viral control. These effects of anti-GITR were CD8
T cell-intrinsic. Taken together, this thesis demonstrates that GITR plays an important early role on CD4
T cells to support CD8
T and B cell responses to persistent LCMV infection, but at later time points, anti-GITR therapy acts directly on the CD8
T cells to improve viral control. These studies may inform the development of novel immune therapies for human persistent viral infections as well as malignancies.

▼ This thesis examines the role of the TNF family member Lymphotoxin-α1β2 (LTαβ) and its cognate receptor Lymphotoxin-β receptor (LTβR) in modulating DC immunogenic functions that affect the cross-priming of CD8+ T cells against protein antigen in a help-dependent manner. In non-infection related immune responses without obvious inflammatory stimulus, dendritic cells (DC) require CD4+ T cell help to cross-prime antigen for CD8+ T cell mediated immunity. Activated CD4+ T cells express the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) members CD40-ligand (CD40L) and LTαβ, which interacts with the TNF receptors CD40 and lymphotoxin-β receptor (LTβR) respectively on DC, significantly increasing DC immunogenic potential. This study demonstrates that LTβR signaling can directly induce Type I IFN expression in DC that affect CD8+ T cell expansion. We identified that LTβR signals through TNF receptor-associated factor (TRAF)-3 and can lead to interferon regulatory factor (IRF)-3 phosphorylation which are important signaling molecules that mediate Type I IFN production. Furthermore, using an inducible autoimmune disease model through the transfer of activated bone marrow derived DC, we found that LTβR signaling in DC is absolutely required for the proper priming of CD8 T cells and disease onset. We found that LTβR-induced Type I IFNs affect the expression of the adhesion molecule lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) and very-late antigen 4 (VLA-4) on antigen specific CD8 T cells which directly affects their ability to infiltrate into target tissues.

▼ As etapas do trabalho constituíram-se de busca nas bases de dados; limpeza e organização dos nomes de autores e de instituições; análises estatísticas e de redes sociais; correlação entre a co-invenção e co-autoria, a partir da ocorrência de autores co-ativos – que publicaram tanto patentes como artigos - nos dois tipos de documentos; correlação entre os assuntos dos artigos e das patentes a partir do mapeamento dos assuntos proposto por Glänzel e Schubert (2003) e dos códigos da Classificação Internacional de Patentes (CIP). A Biotecnologia no Brasil caracteriza-se por apresentar uma forte interação entre Ciência e Tecnologia, o que significa que os inventores transitam entre as duas esferas e produzem tanto publicações científicas como tecnológicas, principalmente no âmbito da universidade. Os resultados mostram que no ranking da produção científica, lideram as universidades públicas (federais e estaduais) e instituições de pesquisa. Observou-se que há intensa colaboração entre estes dois tipos de instituições, com a formação de clusters com laços fortes, não acontecendo colaboração destas com empresas, de forma efetiva. No ranking da produção tecnológica, as empresas depositantes não figuram entre os primeiros lugares, ficando estes ainda ocupados pelas universidades, instituições de pesquisa e de fomento. Muitos depositantes e inventores encontram-se isolados nas análises de redes sociais, confirmando a predominância de redes diádicas ou a falta de formação de redes de co-autoria de patentes na área da Biotecnologia. Encontra-se um núcleo de preferência para a co-autoria em artigos situado entre 3 e 7 autores. Em patentes, os co-ativos demonstram a preferência pela produção individual ou em pequenas equipes. Os autores e instituições coativas que mais possuem patentes são também aqueles que mais publicam artigos, apresentando uma relação entre produção de artigos e patentes. A co-autoria encontrada nas publicações de patentes se repete nas publicações científicas, demonstrando uma interação entre C&T, que alcança um percentual de 70,7% de interação entre a produção científica e tecnológica. Esta interação também foi observada a partir da co-classificação, atingindo o percentual de 83,4%. As patentes que mais possuem convergência entre co-autoria e co-classificação são aquelas que possuem menor número de co-ativos. A hipótese H1, que afirmava que os autores co-ativos mais produtivos em C&T pertencem a redes de co-autoria interpessoais mais densas, não foi comprovado. Considera-se que as técnicas da cientometria utilizadas neste estudo possibilitaram a análise da interação entre C&T na área da Biotecnologia no Brasil.
The research work analyzes the interaction between science and technology (S&T) from a scientometric approach, using co-authorship and co-classification techniques. It aims to demonstrate the movement of Biotechnology researchers and inventors from Brazil across the scientific and technological spheres by means of correlating their articles and patents.

▼ According to the centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) and the world healthorganization (WHO), heart disease and immune related diseases such as diabetes and cancer areamong the leading causes of death around the world. Thus, the regulation of the function ofimmune cell plays a key role in health and disease. Calcium (Ca2+) ions play a critical role inimmune cell activation, function and in a robust immune response. Defects in Ca2+ signalinginfluences the development of cardiac disease, Alzheimer disease, immune cell metabolism,muscle dysfunction, and cancer. Each immune cell is unique in its activation and function,making it relevant to understand how activation of each type of immune cell is regulated. Herewe describe the role of the nBMP2 protein in macrophage activation and function and the role ofthe CD5 co-receptor in helper T cell activation and function.The nuclear bone morphogenetic protein 2 (nBMP2) is the nuclear variant of the bonemorphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2), a growth factor important in heart development, neurogenesis,bone, cartilage and muscle development. To better understand the function of nBMP2, transgenicnBMP2 mutant mice were generated. These mice have a slow muscle relaxation and cognitivedeficit caused in part by abnormal Ca2+ mobilization. Mutant nBMP2 mice also have an impairedsecondary immune response to systemic bacterial challenge. Here we have further characterizedmacrophage activation and function from mutant nBMP2 mice before and after bacterialinfection. We describe how nBMP2 influences the Ca2+ mobilization response and phagocytosisin macrophages, revealing a novel role of the nBMP2 protein in immune cell regulation.CD5 is a surface marker on T cells, thymocytes, and the B1 subset of B cells. CD5 isknown to play an important role during thymic development of T cells. CD5 functions as anegative regulator of T cell receptor (TCR) signaling and fine tunes the TCR signaling response.Here we describe our characterization of CD5 regulation of Ca2+ signaling in naïve helper Tcells. We also outline our findings examining how CD5-induced changes in helper T cellactivation influence other biological processes such as immune cell metabolism, the diversity ofthe gut microbiome, and cognitive function and behavior. Thus, this work elucidates theinfluence of the CD5 co-receptor on the functional outcomes in multiple systems when CD5 isaltered.

▼ T cell activation and thymic selection are thought to be determined by the binding propensity (avidity or affinity) of the
T cell receptor (TCR) to its ligands. However, binding propensity quantified by previous 3D TCR–pMHC kinetics such as using tetramer staining or surface plasmon resonance (SPR) under estimate TCR–pMHC interaction due to neglecting physiological conditions. Recent studies considering membrane contribution in TCR–pMHC interaction reported 2D kinetics and force regulated bond dissociation kinetics have better prediction to biological responses in CD8+
T cells. In this study, we further tested the findings in CD4+
T cells and CD4+ CD8+ (double-positive, DP) thymocytes. We analyzed TCR–pMHC interaction for a well-characterized panel of altered peptide ligands (APLs) on multiple transgenic mouse TCR systems. Using ultrasensitive 2D mechanical assays, in situ 2D kinetic measurements show better sensitivity than the SPR 3D kinetic measurements in gauging the ligand potency and thymic selection. Furthermore, force-regulated bond lifetime of TCR–pMHC interaction amplifies the discrimination in recognition of APLs and thymic selection. When force was applied to TCR–pMHC–CD4/8 bonds, two distinct patterns emerged: agonist/negative selecting ligands formed CD4/8-dependent catch-slip bonds where lifetime first increased, reached a maximum, then decreased with increasing force, whereas antagonist/positive selecting ligands formed slip-only bonds where lifetime monotonically decreases with increasing force. Our results highlight an important role of mechanical force in ligand discrimination and suggest a new mechanism for
T cell activation and thymic selection that is distinct from previous models based on 3D measurements.

▼ Nas últimas duas décadas, os polihidroxialcanoatos (PHAs) foram o foco de pesquisas extensivas considerando suas potenciais aplicações como termoplásticos biocompatíveis e biodegradáveis, devido a sua hidrolisidade no corpo humano bem como em circunstâncias naturais. Objetivando o desenvolvimento de novos materiais dúcteis e biodegradáveis, sistemas de poli(3-hidroxibutirato), P(3HB) e poli(3-hidroxibutirato-
co-3-hidroxivalerato), P(3HB-
co-3HV) com poli(å-caprolactona) triol, PCL-
T (300 e 900g.mol-1) com adição de 0 a 30% de PCL-
T (m/m), foram obtidos por casting ou moldagem por injeção. O comportamento térmico, a morfologia e a cristalinidade destas misturas foram estudados, para isso foram utilizadas as seguintes técnicas: calorimetria exploratória diferencial (DSC), análise termogravimétrica (TG), microscopia eletrônica de varredura (SEM), difração de raios-X (XRD) e espectroscopia no infravermelho por transformada de Fourier (FTIR). A reologia e o processamento dos sistemas de P(3HB) /PCL-
T também foram estudados. O grau de cristalinidade do P(3HB) caiu de 68 para 49% com adição de 5% de PCL-
T 900, e de 68 para 54% com adição de PCL-
T 300. A análise de TG mostrou que a PCL-
T não interfere na estabilidade térmica do P(3HB). Foi também observado por DSC que a Tm da PCL-
T não mudou em todas as composições, enquanto que a Tm do P(3HB) decresceu quando o teor de PCL-
T aumentou. Notou-se também que a Tg do P(3HB) diminuiu de 2,75 para -2C com o aumento da PCL-
T 900. A Tg do P(3HB) mudou de 2,75 para -10C com o aumento do teor de PCL-
T 300. De fato, as análises de FTIR não mostraram evidencias de ligações de hidrogênio entre os polímeros, enquanto as análises de SEM revelaram filmes porosos. Um comportamento similar foi observado para o sistema de P(3HB-
co-3HV)/PCL-
T 900, enquanto nenhuma mudança no grau de cristalinidade do sistema de P(3HB-
co-3HV)/PCL-
T 300 foi observada. Para blendas com P(3HB-
co-3HV), as análises de DSC revelaram que a Tg do P(3HB-
co-3HV) diminuiu de 2C para ca. -10C com adição de 15% de PCL-
T 900 PCL-
T 300. Notou-se também que a Tm do P(3HB-
co-3HV) e da PCL-
T diminuíram ou gradualmente com o aumento do teor de PCL-
T. A análise reologica mostrou um comportamento pseudoplastico para todas as amostras e um decréscimo muito significativo na viscosidade quando a PCL-
T e adicionada. Os sistemas de P(3HB-
co-3HV)/PCL-
T 300 nas composições 80/20 e 85/15 mostraram um comportamento muito próximo do Newtoniano. Os testes de resistência à tração das espécies injetadas mostraram um aumento de 67% no alongamento com 5% de PCL-
T, enquanto que o modulo de elasticidade diminuiu cerca de 7,5%. Uma alta quantidade de PCL-
T (10%), entretanto, diminuiu o modulo mais significativamente (50% em relação ao P(3HB)). O grau de cristalinidade do P(3HB), obtido por XRD, diminuiu com adição de PCL-
T 900 (de 58 para 51% com 10% de PCL-
T 900) concordando com os testes de resistência a tração e resultados de SEM, que apresentaram uma alta ductilidade para as misturas contendo PCL-
T. Análises de TG mostraram que a temperatura…

Complexes of Pd(II), Co(III) and Ni(II) with the
condensation derivative of 2-(diphenylphosphino)benzaldehyde and
Girard’s T reagent were synthesized, characterized, and their
antimicrobial activities and magnetic properties were evaluated.
The ligand, Pd(II) and Co(III) complexes were characterized by
elemental analysis, IR and NMR spectroscopy, and X-ray
crystallography. Ni(II) complexes were characterized by elemental
analysis, IR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography. In Pd(II) and
Co(III) complexes, the deprotonated ligand was coordinated to the
metal through the phosphorus, the imine nitrogen, and the carbonyl
oxygen atoms. In the octahedral Co(III) complex, two ligand
molecules were coordinated to metal ion, while the square-planar
environment of Pd(II) complex was constituted of one tridentate
ligand and chloride in the fourth coordination place. The ligand
and Pd(II) and Co(III) complexes showed moderate antibacterial
activity. In all the Ni(II) complexes the ligand is coordinated as
tridentate via the phosphorus, the imine nitrogen and the carbonyl
oxygen atoms while the remaining coordination positions are
occupied with thiocyanato anions. Coordination of deprotonated
phosphine ligand results in formation of square-planar complexes,
while the octahedral complex was formed with protonated ligand.
Results of magnetic measurements analyzed by Curie-Weiss law show
paramagnetic behavior of investigated octahedral Ni(II) complex
with effective magnetic moment μeff = 3.1 μB.

▼ Severe cases of influenza A virus (IAV) infection are often complicated by concomitant bacterial pneumonia or sepsis. Many bacterial species are capable of producing potent immunomodulators called superantigens (SAgs), which have the potential to interfere with cell-based antiviral immune mechanisms. I asked what effects bacterial SAgs have on both the magnitude and the breadth of antiviral CD8+ T cell (TCD8+) responses. Surprisingly, administration of SAgs to mice shortly before or after vaccination with IAV increased the number of primary TCD8+ responding to select IAV-derived epitopes. T cell receptor staining of these SAg-augmented populations revealed expression of Vβ regions that bind SAgs. In vivo evaluation of the cytotoxic capability of these cells revealed increased killing of target cells pulsed with viral peptides. Memory TCD8+ specific for IAV were also expanded by certain SAgs and displayed increased effector functions, though the effect of SAgs on TCD8+ recall depended critically on the timing of SAg injection relative to priming and boosting inoculation of IAV. Though SAg exposure did not augment local pulmonary TCD8+ responses to active IAV infection, it also did not impair these responses as measured by the effect on weight loss and viral titre. Finally, I show that SAg-induced augmentation of the magnitude, breadth and function of IAV-specific memory TCD8+ can be recapitulated in in vitro experiments utilizing human cells. This work elucidates an unexpected role for bacterial SAgs as potential enhancers of antiviral immunity in the context of TCD8+-based vaccination strategies.

▼ In this thesis I provide among the first detailed studies of orangutan host/parasite
co-evolution by bridging the disciplines of molecular virology/parasitology and biological anthropology. I used the tools of both disciplines to study the evolution of three infectious agents: simian foamy virus (SFV), simian
T-lymphotropic virus 1 (STLV-1), and the protozoan parasite, Plasmodium, in orangutans Genus Pongo. Key to my thesis is the importance placed on the use of accurate calibration dates informed by archaeological and fossil data. Using this approach, I examine the evolutionary history of these infectious agents, including an estimation of the ages of divergence. The results suggest that SFV is the oldest of these infectious agents in orangutans, dating to >4 million years ago. My results challenge a previous hypothesis surrounding the appearance of a unique cladistic pattern for orangutan SFV based on the Mount Toba supervolcanic eruption at ~73 kya. The results of the present research suggest that the events leading to the development of this clade pattern is ~1.6 million years old, which rules out the Toba supereruption. My results also showed that there is a statistically significant level of host-virus coevolution in orangutans. My thesis research indicates the Plasmodium parasites in orangutans are much younger than previously thought. Finally, I estimate the origins of PTLV-1 in orangutans to between 7-343.7 kya. Overall, my thesis shows that the Pleistocene was an important period for the evolution of these infectious agents in orangutans and that it is at least possible that some of this evolution occurred on the Indochinese mainland before orangutans reached the islands of Sumatra and Borneo.

▼ T-cell development is a complex multi-step process, driving the maturation of hematopoietic stem cells into fully functional mature T-cells that play a major role in the adaptive immune response against pathogens. This developmental process is regulated by a series of checkpoints in which the signalling capacity of the T-cell antigen receptor (TCR) is tested. One such checkpoint is the generation of the clonotypic chains of the two TCR variants (αβ-TCR or γδ-TCR) by V(D)J recombination. Importantly, the TCRα chain is rearranged only after correct TCRβ expression, which requires the latter chain to pair with a surrogate invariant pre-Tα chain to form the pre-TCR complex. While both TCR variants activate the same signalling pathway, they commit the T cells to distinct functional lineages. Insight into how thymocytes are nonetheless able to distinguish between these two signals is crucial to our fundamental understanding of T-cell development and how it might be manipulated therapeutically. Pertinently, the pre-TCR is undetectable at the cell surface, unlike the γδ TCR which is primarily located at the plasma membrane. In this thesis, I aim to investigate whether the distinct intracellular localisation of the pre-TCR provides a mean for this signal to be distinguished from that of the γδ-TCR. Through the reconstitution of pre-TCR expression in a non-immune cell, I show that although the pre-TCR can in fact translocate to the cell surface, it is rapidly removed via clathrin-mediated endocytosis and transported to lysosomes. The use of a non-immune cell permits the study of pre-TCR trafficking in the absence of other signalling components and demonstrates that this intracellular localisation of the pre-TCR is intrinsic to the receptor. Using a panel of truncated and engineered pre-TCR, I demonstrate that the absence of a second Ig domain in the extracellular domain of the pre-Tα chain promotes the rapid endocytosis of the receptor. In a thymocyte-OP9-DL1 co-culture system, I show that recombination-deficient thymocytes expressing a pre-TCR variant lacking the TCRβ variable domain is sufficient to drive cells through the TCRβ-selection checkpoint and give rise to double positive cells. Likewise, wild type thymocytes over-expressing the pre-TCR or a receptor with a fused TCRα variable domain may push thymocytes down the γδ-lineage. Finally, I employ a biotin proximity-labelling assay to screen for binding partners of the pre-TCR that might mediate its internalisation. Using this method, I identify TMEM131, a novel protein with an unknown function and characterise some of its biochemical and cell biological properties.

▼ Radiation is a common therapeutic modality for cancer however it fails to control advanced and malignant disease. As a result, novel approaches that aim to stimulate immune attack of tumors are currently being investigated and approved by the US FDA. It is clear, however, that no single agent will be responsible for achieving long-term control and treatment of cancer and that combination therapies will be required. Previous studies indicate that colorectal cancer cells that survive radiation up-regulate surface expression of cytotoxic
T lymphocyte (CTL) relevant proteins including death receptors, cell adhesion molecules and tumor-associated antigens (TAA). The aim of this dissertation was to investigate the effect of non-cytolytic doses of ionizing radiation (IR) on
co-stimulatory molecule expression on tumor cells and evaluate the impact of their modulation on effector
T-cell biology and tumoricidal activity. Here, several human tumor cell lines were exposed to various doses of radiation (0-10Gy) and TAA-specific
T-cell tumoricidal activity and expression of effector CTL
co-stimulatory molecules were evaluated. I found OX40L and 41BBL to be the most consistently upregulated proteins post-IR by flow cytometry. Furthermore, I saw enhanced survival and activation of human CD8+
T-cells exposed to irradiated tumor cells. Importantly, enhanced killing of irradiated tumor cells by TAA-specific CTLs in cytotoxicity assays was reported. Blocking OX40L and 41BBL reversed radiation-enhanced
T-cell killing. My data also indicate that expression of 41BBL and OX40L can be epigenetically regulated, as inhibition of histone deacetylases (HDAC) and of DNA methyltransferases (DNMT) resulted in increased OX40L and 41BBL mRNA and protein expression. Furthermore, chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments revealed increased histone H3 acetylation specifically at the 41BBL promoter following irradiation. Last, I began exploring the ability of IR to reverse immune suppression by evaluating the impact of radiation on regulatory
T cells (
TREGS) that can suppress the function of effector CTLs. I found that RT could reduce
TREG numbers likely by altering their phenotype. Overall, this dissertation demonstrates that radiation can be used to make human tumors more immunogenic through epigenetic modulation of genes stimulatory to effector
T-cells and that it may also reverse immune suppression by phenotypically altering
TREG cells.

▼ Tissue resident memory T cells, zu Deutsch Gewebsresidente Gedächtnis-T-Zellen (Trm), sind eine erst kürzlich identifizierte, funktionell unterschiedliche Untergruppe von Gedächtnis-T-Lymphozyten, die in vielen Geweben und Organen unseres Körpers zu finden ist. In den meisten Geweben lassen sich Trm-Zellen durch die Co-Expression der Zelloberflächenmarker CD69 und CD103 identifizieren. Beide Oberflächenproteine sind für die Verankerung im Gewebe zuständig. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Gedächtnis-T-Zellen, zirkulieren Trm-Zellen nämlich nicht und verbleiben jahrelang in ihren jeweiligen Nischen. Dort tragen sie eine wichtige Funktion zur Immunüberwachung und -abwehr bei. Nachdem sie bereits ein bestimmtes Antigen erkannt haben, zeigen sie eine spezifische Immunantwort und reagieren daher schnell auf virale und bakterielle Neuinfektionen. Darüber hinaus rekrutieren Trm-Zellen andere Immunzellen zur Infektionsstelle und zeigen ein anti-tumorales Verhalten bei manchen Krebsarten. All das macht Trm- Zellen interessant für neuartige Immuntherapie- und Impfansätze. Jedoch sind viele Mechanismen und molekulare Regulationen bezüglicher ihrer Entstehung und Aufrechterhaltung, nicht vollständig verstanden.
In den folgenden Studien analysierten wir die Expression von CD69 und CD103 während CD8+ T-Zell-Aktivierung in dem Modellorganismus Maus. Wir konnten zeigen, dass CD103 unter den verschiedenen T-Zell Subtypen unterschiedlich stark exprimiert wird. Darüber hinaus haben wir in verschiedenen in vitro Ansätzen den Einfluss von extrinsischen Faktoren getestet, die die Zelldifferenzierung von Trm- Zellen beeinflussen. Unterschiedliche Bedingungen und Wechselwirkungen zwischen Zelltypen wurden getestet und die Expression der Trm-Zelloberflächenmarker CD103 und CD69 mittels Mehrfarben-Durchflusszytometrie analysiert. Auf diese Weise wollten wir komplexe zelluläre Wechselwirkungen auf einfachere Weise untersuchen. Wir konnten zeigen, dass die Expression von CD69 stark von T-Zell-Rezeptor-vermittelten Signalen abhängt. Darüber hinaus kann TGF-β naive CD8+ Vorläufer-T-Zellen durch Hochregulieren von CD103 dazu bringen, einen Trm-ähnlichen Phänotypen anzunehmen. Als CD8+ T-Zell-Wechselwirkungen in Co-Kultivierungsstudien mit dendritischen Zellen und regulatorischen T-Zellen (Tregs) getestet wurden, konnte ein potentieller externer Einfluss gezeigt werden.
Tissue resident memory T cells (Trm) are a recently identified, functionally distinct subset of memory T lymphocytes that reside in various tissues of the body. Unlike other memory T cell populations, Trm cells are non-circulating and persist in their respective niches for years. While heterogeneity is reported in different niches, the co-expression of the cell surface markers CD69 and CD103, which are associated with tissue-retention, are reliable markers for CD8+ Trm cells at epithelial sites. Over the last years, their key role in immune surveillance and defence became widely acknowledged. Being antigen-specific, they show specific immune-responses and act quick upon viral and…

▼ Parmi les récepteurs co-inhibiteurs des cellules T, PD-1 et BTLA sont liés de manière évolutive. Afin de déterminer si PD-1 et BTLA exerçent des fonctions redondantes, nous avons développé et validé deux modèles de souris génétiquement modifiées dans lesquelles les molécules PD-1 et BTLA expriment une étiquette génétique à leur extrémité carboxy-terminale. Ceci permet de pouvoir étudier par AP-MS les signalosomes s’assemblant autour de PD-1 et BTLA dans des cellules T primaires. Nous avons en parallèle établi un modèle ‘in vitro’ basé sur des cellules présentatrices d'antigènes et des cellules T afin d’étudier le signalosome de PD-1 dans des conditions de stimulation plus physiologiques.Sur la base de ces deux approches complémentaires, nous avons résolu la controverse existante concernant le rôle des protéines tyrosine phosphatases SHP-1 et SHP-2 dans la médiation de la co-inhibition PD-1. PD-1 recrute principalement SHP-2, mais lorsqu'il est absent, il recrute SHP-1 et reste fonctionnel. En revanche, BTLA recrute principalement SHP-1 et, dans une moindre mesure, SHP-2. En analysant séparément les complexes PD-1-SHP-1 et PD-1-SHP-2, nous avons montré que chacun d’eux est capable d’atténuer la fonction des voies de signalisation du TCR et du CD28. En conclusion, notre travail de thèse montre comment la comparaison des mécanismes de signalisation des récepteurs co-inhibiteurs via une approche d’interactomique quantitative dans des cellules T primaires révèle l'ampleur de leur redondance et fournit une justification pour la conception de combinaisons d'anticorps bloquants anti-PD-1 et anti-BTLA dans l'immunothérapie des cancers.
Among T cell coinhibitory receptors, PD-1 and BTLA are evolutionary related and coexpressed on tumor-antigen specific CD8+ T cells. Accordingly, BTLA can likely substitute for PD-1 in conditions where immune-checkpoint inhibitors target PD-1. To investigate whether PD-1 and BTLA exert redundant functions during T cell responses, we developed and validated two gene targeted mouse models in which PD-1 and BTLA molecules expressed a genetic tag at their carboxyl terminus. These mice permitted us to perform AP-MS analysis of PD-1 and BTLA molecules and defined at an unprecedented level of resolution the composition and dynamics of the PD-1 and BTLA coinhibitory signalosomes in primary effector T cells. We also established a T cell- antigen presenting cell system to study the PD-1 signalosome in more physiological stimulation condition.Based on these two complementary approaches, we solved the existing controversy regarding the role of the SHP-1 and SHP-2 protein-tyrosine phosphatases in mediating PD-1 coinhibition. PD-1 predominantly recruits SHP-2, but when absent, it recruits SHP-1 and remains functional. In contrast, BTLA predominantly recruits SHP-1 and to a lower extent SHP-2. By separately analysing the PD-1-SHP-1 and PD-1-SHP-2 complexes, we show that both dampen the TCR and CD28 signalling pathways equally. Therefore, our study illustrates how comparison of coinhibitory receptor…

▼ Background: Many studies have suggested that the immune response may play a crucial role in the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Therefore, our aim was to establish a (i) functional culture of primary human tumor hepatocytes and non-tumor from patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and (ii) a co-culture system of HCC and non-HCC hepatocytes with autologous peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in order to study in vitro cell-to-cell interactions.Methods: Tumor (HCC) and non-tumor (non-HCC) hepatocytes were isolated from the liver resection specimens of 11 patients operated for HCC, while PBMCs were retrieved immediately prior to surgery. Four biopsies were obtained from patients with no liver disease who had surgery for non malignant tumor (normal hepatocytes). Hepatocytes were either cultured alone (monoculture) or co-cultured with PBMCs. Flow cytometry measurements for MHC class II expression, apoptosis, necrosis and viability (7AAD) were performed 24 h, 48 h and 72 h in co-culture and monocultures.Results: HCC and non-HCC hepatocytes exhibited increased MHC-II expression at 48h and 72h in co-culture with PBMCs as compared to monoculture, with MHC II-expressing HCC hepatocytes showing increased viability at 72 h. PBMCs showed increased MHC-II expression (activation) in co-culture with HCC as compared to non-HCC hepatocytes at all time points. Moreover, CD8+ T cells had significantly increased apoptosis and necrosis at 48h in co-culture with HCC hepatocytes as compared to monocultures. Interestingly, MHC-II expression on both HCC and non-HCC hepatocytes in co-culture was positively correlated with the respective activated CD8+ T cells.Conclusions: We have established an in vitro co-culture model to study interactions between autologous PBMCs and primary HCC and non-HCC hepatocytes. This direct interaction leads to increased antigen presenting ability of HCC hepatocytes, activation of PBMCs with a concomitant apoptosis of activated CD8+ T cells. Although, a partially effective immune response against HCC exists, still tumor hepatocytes manage to escape.
Σκοπός/Εισαγωγή.Πολλές μελέτες έχουν προτείνει ότι η ανοσιακή απόκριση παίζει σημαντικό και καθοριστικό ρόλο στην δημιουργία καθώς και στην εξέλιξη του ηπατοκυτταρικού καρκίνου (ΗΚΚ), αλλά υπάρχει έλλειψη κατάλληλων πειραματικών μοντέλων βασισμένων στα ανθρώπινα ηπατοκύτταρα έτσι ώστε να μελετηθούν με επιτυχία οι υποκείμενοι μηχανισμοί.

▼ In this paper, we consider a two-hop multiple variable AF relaying scheme. The source node is equipped with multiple antennas and precoded by orthogonal space-time block code(OSTBC) technique to keep full diversity. Each relay and the destination nodes are equipped with single antenna and suffer from
co-channel interferences(CCIs) in asymmetric channel respectively. Two main criterions, best relay selection(B-RS) and partial relay selection(P-RS), are applied to choose one proper relay among all participated relay nodes. Finally, the closed forms of outage probability of received signal are derived under this CCIs degradation environment. From the simulation results, we can show that the theoretical derivations are derived to match the simulation experiments. Besides, adding more source antenna or relay is helpful to system performance. Provided that the CCIs power at destination is much larger than at relay, for some specific cases, adding more source antenna or relay is without any help to system performance. Furthermore, instead of OSTBC, transmit beamforming (
T-BF) technique is also considered at source to maximize signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) of received signal at each relay. We investigate the truth that the outage performance of
T-BF always outperform OSTBC just as the number of source antenna more than one, while such assumption needs large feedback overhead to guarantee perfect channel state information(CSI).

▼ Two-dimensional potential energy surfaces of charged and neutral MXO (X: C, N and M: Au, Ag, Cu) and neutral M2XO complexes were calculated. Our results are based on the CCSD(
T)/AVTZ level of theory with effective core potentials for the transition metals. The calculations show that the PES of MXO+ have two minima, one at the linear X-down, the other at linear O-down structure, while the neutral complexes have only one minimum, X-down, but in a triangular shape with an angle depending on the metal atom. The negative charged complexes have a dispersive minimum when the metal anion nearly perpendicular to the geometrical center of the XO molecule and distance greater than 3.5 Å.
Additionally we have calculated the interaction energy of M2XO complexes with different orientations and found that the linear X-down complexes are the most stable orientation. Also the binding of the
CO molecule to the diatomic M2 is stronger than to the M atom. On the contrary, the binding of the NO molecule to the diatomic M2 is weaker than the M atom. The strength of the binding energies are ranked based on the type of the metal, for all type of charge and type of X atoms, as Au > Cu > Ag. About the isoelectric pairs: MCO, MNO+ and MCO-, MNO, there is no correlation between the number of electrons and the shape of the PES.
The counterpoise-corrected interaction energy increases as the charge of the complex increases. The positive charged complexes have blue shift in X-O stretching frequency while the neutral and negative charged complexes have red shift.
With these highly accurate PESs, it is possible to fit force fields for the system under investigation and to perform an anharmonic vibrational analysis.

▼ Humorale Immunreaktionen werden durch Antikörper-sezernierende B-Zellen
vermittelt, die die Grundlage heutiger Impfstrategien sind. Aktivierte
B-Zellen reifen in Keimzentren und abnormale Keimzentren werden mit vielen
Autoimmunerkrankungen in Verbindung gebracht. Follikuläre
T-Helferzellen (TFH)
sind die CD4+
T-Helferzellen, die B-Zellen in der Keimzentrumsreaktion
unterstützen. Um bessere Impfstoffe und therapeutische Ansätze gegen
Autoimmunerkrankungen entwickeln zu können, ist es notwendig, die
Differenzierung und Aufrechterhaltung von TFH-Zellen besser zu verstehen.
Zugrundeliegende molekulare Mechanismen wurden in dieser Arbeit in einem
adoptiven Transfersystem analysiert. Die Kostimulatoren ICOS und CD28 sind
wichtig für TFH-Zellen, allerdings ist ihre spezielle Rolle für diese Zellen
bisher nicht bekannt. Die hier präsentierten Daten weisen jedem der Moleküle
eine exklusive Rolle in verschiedenen Stadien der humoralen Immunreaktion zu:
CD28 regulierte die frühe Expression des TFH-Mastertranskriptionsfaktors
Bcl-6, wohingegen ICOS-Kostimulation für die Aufrechterhaltung des TFH-
Phänotyps und daher auch der Keimzentrumsreaktionen nötig war. Es war lange
offen, ob TFH-Zellen nach Beendigung der Keimzentrumsreaktion zu CD4+
Gedächtniszellen werden. Um diese Frage zu beantworten, wurde ein
Retransfersystem für TFH-Zellen entwickelt, in dem antigenspezifische TFH- und
nicht-TFH-Effektorzellen aus Keimzentrumsreaktionen isoliert und sortiert
wurden. Anschließend wurden die Zellen in naive Mäuse transferiert, wo sie
unabhängig voneinander analysiert werden konnten. Die retransferierten
Zellpopulationen kontrahierten schnell ohne Antigen, jedoch blieb eine kleine
Population TFH- und nicht-TFH-Gedächtniszellen für mindestens vier Wochen in
der Maus vorhanden. TFH-Zellen regulierten für ihre Identifikation und
Funktion typische Moleküle herunter, behielten jedoch einen anderen Phänotyp
als nicht-TFH-Gedächtniszellen. Nach Antigenstimulation in vivo adaptierten
ehemalige TFH-Zellen präferentiell den TFH-Phänotyp. Ein erhöhtes Potential
IL-21 zu sezernieren, gepaart mit erhöhter Expression von CXCR5 und geringerer
Expression von CCR7, sollte diese Zellen zu effektiven B-Zell-Helfern in
sekundären Immunreaktionen machen. Meine Arbeit zeigt funktionelle
Unterschiede der strukturell verwandten Moleküle CD28 und ICOS auf und könnte
daher ein Mosaikstein für die Suche nach besseren therapeutischen Ansätzen zur
Bekämpfung von Autoimmunkrankheiten sein. Die Daten zeigen weiterhin, dass
TFH-Zellen zu Gedächtniszellen werden können, welche ein interessanter
Schwerpunkt zukünftiger Impfstrategien sein können.

▼ CD4+
T-Zellen lassen sich in verschiedene Subpopulationen unterteilen, die aufgrund ihrer produzierten Zytokine unterschiedliche Effektorfunktionen erfüllen. Frühere Studien haben gezeigt, dass einige Populationen von
T-Helferzellen (Th) Eigenschaften zweier gegensätzlicher Differenzierungsprogramme aufweisen und damit einen gemischten, so genannten „Hybrid“-Phänotyp darstellen. Mäuse entwickelten als Teil der Immunantwort auf Th2-polarisierende Wurminfektionen Th2/1-Hybridzellen, welche die Th2- und Th1-Linien-spezifischen Transkriptionsfaktoren GATA-3 sowie
T-bet
co-exprimieren. Dies ermöglicht den Th2/1-Zellen die
Co-Produktion von Th2-(IL-4/-5/-13) und Th1-Zytokinen (IFN-γ). Dieser Th2/1-Phänotyp blieb über Monate hinweg stabil und löste im Vergleich zu konventionellen Th2- und Th1-Zellen eine geringere Immunpathologie in murinen Typ-1 und Typ-2-Entzündungsmodellen aus.
Basierend auf diesen Daten war das erste Ziel dieser Arbeit Th2- und Th2/1- Zellen am Beispiel von Zwergfadenwurminfektionen (Strongyloidiasis) zu detektieren und phänotypisch zu charakterisieren. Dafür wurden
T-Zellen aus Organen von Mäusen und periphere Blutproben indischer Patienten, die mit Zwergfadenwürmern infiziert waren, mittels durchflußzytometrischer Analysen untersucht. Das zweite Ziel war die Existenz des hybriden Phänotyps bei einer nicht-parasitären Th2-vermittelten entzündlichen Hauterkrankung, der atopischen Dermatitis (AD), nachzuweisen. Hierfür wurden Blutproben europäischer AD-Patienten hinsichtlich Th2/1-Zellen untersucht und überprüft, ob deren Zellfrequenzen mit der Schwere der Erkrankung assoziiert sind. Zusätzlich wurden die pro-inflammatorischen Th2- sowie Th22-Populationen und regulatorische Foxp3+
T-Zellen untersucht. In einem weiteren Teil dieser Arbeit wurden die Effektorfunktionen humaner Th2/1-Zellen in einem 3D-Hautmodell für AD analysiert.
Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt, dass die Bildung von Th2/1-Zellen in Mäusen ebenfalls durch Fadenwürmer induziert wird. Dabei hatten weder der Untersuchungszeitpunkt noch Unterschiede in der Parasitenlast einen Einfluss auf die Th2/1-Zellfrequenzen. Die untersuchten Organe unterschieden sich jedoch deutlich im Th2/1-Hybridanteil. Darüber hinaus konnten in dieser Arbeit erstmalig humane Th2/1-Zellen nachgewiesen werden, die ähnlich wie murine Hybride Th2- und Th1-Zytokine
co-exprimieren. Eine vergleichende Analyse des murinen und humanen Th2/1-Phänotyps zeigte Ähnlichkeiten, wie die gegenüber Th2-Zellen verminderte Th2-Zytokinproduktion. Es wurden aber auch artspezifische Unterschiede, wie die stärkere IFN-γ Produktion durch humane Th2/1-Zellen, festgestellt. Die Analyse von Blutproben atopischer Patienten ergab, dass der Mehrheit der zirkulierenden Th2/1-Zellen der Rezeptor CLA fehlt, der für das Einwandern in die Haut benötigt wird. Somit stellt der Großteil der Th2/1-Zellen in AD-Patienten vermutlich keine hautinfiltrierende Zellpopulation dar. Im Gegensatz dazu waren pro-inflammatorische Th2- und Th22-Zellen vor allem in Patienten mit stark ausgeprägter AD in…

▼ Methane, produced through microbial anaerobic digestion of various organic materials, is seen as a promising sustainable bioenergy source with the potential to reduce the current dependence on fossil fuels. Among organic materials, lignocellulosic materials, especially agriculture residues, are highly interesting due to high abundance and potential for methane production. However, low nutrient content and highly recalcitrant structure often limit process efficiency. This thesis presents the results of in-depth studies conducted in order to obtain new information about lignocellulose-degrading bacteria in biogas processes and to identify ways to enable more efficient biogas production.
Different biogas processes were investigated in terms of their overall microbial community (bacteria and archaea) and potential lignocellulose degraders. The results showed that the biogas processes differed with regard to overall microbial community and chemical composition, but also composition of the cellulose-degrading bacterial community. These differences significantly influenced the degradation efficiency of both cellulose and wheat straw in batch digestion systems and also performance during start-up of semi-continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) processes. A positive correlation was found between lignocellulose degradation efficiency and relative abundance of Clostridium cellulolyticum. Ammonia level in the inoculum was identified as the most significant factor potentially affecting microbial community structure and methane production from lignocellulosic materials. Microbial and chemical composition of the original inoculum sources also influenced long-term degradation of lignocellulose in CSTR and appeared to influence residual methane potential. Different molecular methods for microbial community analysis were explored, with the aim of building an appropriate pipeline for in-depth studies of lignocellulose degraders in anaerobic reactors.
This thesis provides novel information about the microbial communities involved in degradation of lignocellulosic materials and possible connections to process parameters. This information could potentially enable biogas production to be steered towards a more efficient and controllable process for degradation and biogas production from agriculture residues and plant-based materials.
Subjects/Keywords: anaerobic digestion; lignocellulose; hydrolase families 5 and 48; biomethane potential; continuous stirred-tank reactor; co-digestion; residual methane potential; next-generation amplicon sequencing; terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP)

▼ In this thesis, we show that CD24 can regulate
T cell
homeostatic proliferation and autoimmune disease. The activation of
T lymphocyte requires two signals from antigen presenting cells,
peptide/self-MHC complex to TCR and
co-stimulatory signals. CD24, a
glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) arched glycoprotein, is an
important
co-stimulatory molecule. Although it is not essential for
induction of
T cell response, CD24 is required to express on
T
cells and for the induction of experimental autoimmune
encephalomyelitis (EAE), an animal model for multiple sclerosis
(MS). Here, we show that CD24 is essential for local clonal
expansion and persistence of
T cells after their migration into the
CNS, and that expression of CD24 on either hematopoietic cells or
non-hematopoietic antigen-presenting cells in the recipient is
sufficient to confer susceptibility to EAE. At the same time, it is
well established that
T lymphocytes undergo homeostatic
proliferation in lymphopenic environment. Recent studies have
demonstrated that
co-stimulation, mediated by CD28, 4-1BB, and
CD40, is not required for
T cell homeostatic proliferation. Here,
we report that
T cells from mice with a targeted mutation of CD24
have a remarkably reduced rate of proliferation when adoptively
transferred into syngeneic lymphopenic hosts. The reduced
proliferation cannot be attributed to abnormal survival and homing
properties of the CD24-deficient
T cells. Thus, although distinct
co-stimulatory molecules are involved in antigen-driven
proliferation and homeostatic proliferation, both processes can be
modulated by
co-stimulatory molecules. Surprisingly, in the
lymphopenic CD24-deficient mice,
T cells launch an uncontrollable
proliferation that results in rapid death of the recipient mice.
The dividing
T cells have the phenotypes similar to those activated
by cognate antigens. In addition, the CD24-deficient DC have
superior capacity to drive homeostatic proliferation of the
syngeneic cells. Thus, our data demonstrate that CD24 expressed on
the host antigen-presenting cells limits
T cell response to
homeostatic cue and prevents fatal damage associated with the
uncontrolled homeostatic proliferation. Taken together, in this
thesis, we demonstrate that although CD24 is not essential for the
induction of
T cell response, it can regulate
T cell homeostatic
proliferation and its function in autoimmune disease.

▼ A hiporreatividade das células
T observada na resposta imune a antígenos de P. brasiliensis de pacientes com paracoccidioidomicose ativa deve contribuir para o não controle da doença, levando à disseminação do fungo. É, na maioria das vezes, reversível com tratamento antifúngico. Os mecanismos que levam a esta hiporreatividade não são bem conhecidos. No entanto, foram demonstrados em resultados prévios em nosso laboratório que células mononucleares de pacientes frente a gp43 apresentam níveis elevados de apoptose. Para tentarmos explicar esse mecanismo, nossa primeira hipótese foi de avaliar se a ativação celular desses pacientes estavam sendo prejudicada por uma ativação inadequada induzida pela expressão alterada de moléculas
co-estimulatórias como CD80, CD86, CD28, CD152, ICOS e PD-1. A expressão dessas moléculas foi avaliada em células
T e monócitos de pacientes com doença ativa (n = 7...) e controles curados (n = 2...) de um episódio prévio de PCM, mantidas em cultura com antígeno metabólico de Candida albicans (CMA), gp43 ou sem estímulo após 4 dias em cultura. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a expressão do CD28 foi comparável entre doentes e controles, e que a expressão de CD152, PD-1 e ICOS, que preferencialmente exercem um papel negativo na sinalização celular, foi maior em células
T de pacientes, estimuladas ou não, quando comparadas com células de indivíduos controles. Em paralelo, foram realizados experimentos com a adição dos respectivos anticorpos bloqueadores, que, no entanto, não restabeleceu a proliferação celular dos pacientes. A expressão das moléculas CD80 e CD86 na superfície dos monócitos foi similar em pacientes e controles. Já a expressão dessas moléculas na superfície de linfócitos foi maior nos pacientes tanto em células estimuladas como não estimuladas. O bloqueio com os respectivos anticorpos no dia 0 inibiu a resposta tanto com gp43 como com CMA, porém de forma diferenciada. Nos pacientes e controles a inibição da molécula CD86 diminuiu a resposta tanto para gp43 como para CMA e a inibição da molécula CD80 diminuiu a resposta proliferativa apenas para gp43, e somente no grupo controle, sugerindo que os diferentes antígenos exigem diferentes moléculas durante o processo de apresentação antigênica. A adição desses anticorpos no 4o dia da cultura não modificou a resposta linfoproliferantiva dos pacientes e controles. Nossos dados favorecem a hipótese, derivada de outros modelos de exposição crônica a antígenos exógenos, de que a exposição repetida a antígenos de P. brasiliensis por um longo período in vivo, verificada nos pacientes com paracoccidioidomicose, levam as células
T a um estado de tolerância adaptativa, que dificilmente é revertida in vitro. A partir desses resultados analisamos a participação da apoptose de células
T nesse provável estado de tolerância nas células dos pacientes. Observamos que a expressão da molécula anti-apoptótica Bcl-2 está diminuída nas células
T de pacientes previamente estimuladas comparadas com as células dos controles, e mesmo após o reestímulo…

Os progenitores de células T sofrem uma série de transformações durante o seu desenvolvimento incluindo seleção, comprometimento para uma determinada linhagem (CD8 ou CD4) e maturação no timo de modo a poderem diferenciar-se em células T funcionais CD4 auxiliares ou CD8 citotóxicas. A decisão de se diferenciar numa das duas linhagens envolve o recetor de células T (TCR), sinalização por parte de interleucinas (IL) e fatores de transcrição (TF) específicos para cada linhagem, crendo-se, atualmente, ser um processo vitualmente irreversível.
Compreender as bases que fundamentam a decisão de uma célula se diferenciar numa determinada linhagem é de extrema importância para a compreensão dos mecanismos envolvidos no desenvolvimento dos timócitos humanos. Deste modo, este modelo é dos mais debatidos em imunologia apesar de se recorrer maioritariamente ao modelo animal do ratinho que, apesar de ter proporcionado um vasto leque de conhecimentos, nem sempre se aplicam ao modelo humano, raramente estudado.
O modelo de sinalização cinética definido em ratinho para explicar o desenvolvimento dos timócitos aponta para a IL-7 como força motriz na especificação e diferenciação em células CD8, sendo a sua ausência durante o desenvolvimento no timo responsável pela manutenção do fenótipo CD4 definido nos estadios mais precoces de maturação. A IL-4 tinha já sido testada no modelo do ratinho tendo tido fraco desempenho no sentido de conduzir à diferenciação dos timócitos em células T CD8 quando comparada com a IL-7.
A IL-4, membro da família de recetores com cadeia γ, foi originalmente descrita em 1982 como sendo uma citocina pleiotrópica de tipo I produzida maioritariamente por linfócitos T auxiliares do tipo 2 (Th2), basófilos, eosinófilos, mastócitos, células natural killer (NK), células T foliculares (Tfh) e células T γ/δ. Esta citocina tem a função de induzir a polarização do fenótipo Th2 e suprimir a diferenciação das células Th1. Adicionalmente, a IL-4 promove o crescimento e diferenciação dos linfócitos B, controlando a especificidade das alterações de classe de imunoglobulinas tal como o desenvolvimento de células B de memória.
As funções fisiológicas desta citocina são mediadas pelo recetor de IL-4, composto por uma cadeia α de 140kDa e uma cadeia γ partilhada com os recetores das citocinas IL-2, IL-7, IL-9 e IL-15. Este dímero pode ser encontrado em células hematopoiéticas ativadas exclusivamente após ligação da IL-4. Após ligação da IL-4 ao seu recetor é promovida ativação do ativador de transcrição e transdutor de sinal 6 (STAT6), que por sua vez promove a regulação de genes responsáveis pela diferenciação de células T CD4 ativadas em células Th2 e Th9, expressão de GATA binding protein 3 (GATA3), produção de quimiocinas e pelo aumento da expressão da imunoglubina IgE responsável pelo desenvolvimento de uma resposta imunológica alérgica.
Neste projeto sugerimos um papel para a IL-4 na…
