Induction of memory-like dendritic cell responses in vivo

Abstract: Dendritic cells (DCs), a vital component of the innate immune system, are considered to lack antigen specificity and be devoid of immunological memory. Strategies that can induce memory-like responses from innate cells can be utilized to elicit protective immunity in immune deficient persons. Here we utilize an experimental immunization strategy to modulate DC inflammatory and memory-like responses against an opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes significant disease in immunocompromised individuals. Our re… Show more

“…Recent work has shown that DCs can also show immune memory responses. In this regard, DCs isolated from mice exposed to the fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans displayed strong interferon-γ (IFNγ) production and enhanced proinflammatory cytokine responses on subsequent challenge, which is indicative of a memory response 67 . These effects were dependent on epigenetic changes and were impaired by the treatment of mice with a histone methyltransferase inhibitor 67 .…”

“…There is some evidence that DCs may also have memorylike capabilities. Studies using a vaccine strain of C. neoformans indicate that splenic DCs undergo histone modifications that enhance cytokine responses upon rechallenge with a virulent strain of C. neoformans (Hole et al, 2019). However, these DCs did not have a robust response to other secondary stimuli including LPS, S. aureus, and C. albicans.…”

“…Additionally, training of DCs was recently reported. Murine DCs produced more cytokines in response to Cryptococcus neoformans and Staphylococcus aureus 70 days after pulmonary immunization with a recombinant C. neoformans strain expressing IFNγ, in contrast to naïve mice 45 . Two months, but not 2 weeks, after MVA prime and prior to MVA revaccination, we previously showed that blood monocytes, neutrophils, and cDCs were phenotypically "defense-ready".…”
