Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNA), small noncoding RNAs that regulate gene expression, exist not only in cells but also a variety of body fluids. These circulating miRNAs could enable intercellular communication. are packaged membrane-encapsulated vesicles, such as exosomes, or protected by RNA-binding proteins. Here, we report included human melanoma exosomes the tumor immune response. Using microscopy and flow cytometry, demonstrate CD8+ T internalize from different types even if these do...

Background Clinical benefit from programmed cell death 1 receptor (PD-1) inhibitors relies on reinvigoration of endogenous antitumor immunity. Nonetheless, robust immunological markers, based circulating immune subsets associated with therapeutic efficacy are yet to be validated. Methods We isolated peripheral blood mononuclear three independent cohorts melanoma and Merkel carcinoma patients treated PD-1 inhibitor, at baseline longitudinally after therapy. Using multiparameter flow cytometry...

In colorectal cancer (CRC), we previously reported that NKG2A+ tumor-infiltrating (TILs) are predominantly αβ CD94 overexpression and/or ligand HLA-E were associated with a poor prognosis. This study aimed to thoroughly characterize TIL subpopulation document impact NKG2A on anti-tumor responses...

Immune response against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) includes a set of persistent cytotoxic NK and CD8 T cells devoted to eliminate infected prevent reactivation. HCMV antigens (pp65, IE1) presented by HLA class-I molecules are well characterized they associate with efficient virus control. HLA-E-restricted targeting UL40 signal peptides (HLA-EUL40) have recently emerged as non-conventional T-cell also observed in some hosts. The occurrence, specificity features HLA-EUL40 responses remain...

Attenuated measles virus (MV) exerts its oncolytic activity in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) cells that lack type-I interferon (IFN-I) production or responsiveness. However, other the tumor microenvironment (TME), such as myeloid cells, possess functional antiviral pathways. In this study, we aimed to characterize interplay between MV and human MPM. We cocultured MPM cell lines with monocytes macrophages infected them MV. analyzed transcriptome of each type studied their secretion...

Human serum contains large amounts of anti-carbohydrate antibodies, some which may recognize epitopes on viral glycans. Here, we tested the hypothesis that such antibodies confer protection against COVID-19 so patients would be preferentially found among people with low specific since individual repertoires vary considerably. After selecting glycan commonly represented in human antibody repertoire also expressed glycans, plasma levels corresponding were determined by ELISA 88 SARS-CoV-2...

Although CD4+CD8+ double positive (DP) T cells represent a small fraction of peripheral lymphocytes in healthy human donors, their frequency is often increased under pathological conditions (in blood and targeted tissues). In solid cancers such as melanoma, we previously demonstrated an enrichment tumor reactive CD4lowCD8highαβ DP among tumor-infiltrating unknown function. Similarly to single (SP) CD8+ counterparts, intra-melanoma recognized melanoma cell lines HLA-class-I restricted...

Abstract Adoptive cell transfer (ACT) of tumor-specific T lymphocytes represents a relevant therapeutic strategy to treat metastatic melanoma patients. Ideal T-cells should combine tumor specificity and reactivity with survival in vivo, while avoiding autoimmune side effects. Here we report results from Phase I/II clinical trial (NCT02424916, performed between 2015 2018) which 6 HLA-A2 patients received autologous antigen-specific produced PBMC, after peptide stimulation vitro, followed by...

While immune checkpoint (IC) therapies, particularly those targeting the PD-1/PD-L1 axis, have revolutionized treatment of melanoma and several other cancers, their effect remains very limited in colorectal cancer (CRC). To define a comprehensive landscape ICs human CRC tumor microenvironment (TME), we evaluated, using multiparametric flow cytometry, ex vivo expression via tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) (n = 40 CRCs) as well that respective ligands on myeloid cells 29). Supervised...

Abstract Over the past two decades, there has been a great interest in study of HLA-E-restricted αβ T cells during bacterial and viral infections, including recently SARS-CoV-2 infection. Phenotyping these specific requires new tools such as tetramers for rapid cell staining or sorting, well identification peptides capable to bind HLA-E pocket. To this aim, we have developed an optimal photosensitive peptide generate stable HLA-E/pUV complexes allowing high-throughput production...

In mice, microbiota-induced Tregs both maintain intestinal homeostasis and provide resistance to immuno-pathologies in the adult. Identifying their human functional counterpart therefore represents an important goal. We discovered, colonic lamina propria blood, a FoxP3-negative IL-10-secreting Treg subset, which co-expresses CD4 CD8α (hence named DP8α) displays TCR-reactivity against Faecalibacterium prausnitzii , indicating role for this symbiotic bacterium induction. Moreover, supporting...
