IL-12 and IL-23 are closely related cytokines and represent the most proinflammatory mediators of the IL-12 superfamily. Both cytokines are structurally similar and share both producing and sensing cell types. While IL-12 is a canonical TH type I inducing mediator, IL-23 is firmly linked with type III immunity. Both cytokines are considered central mediators of TH cell polarization and are linked with inflammation and even immunopathology. However, whilst IL-12 stimulates type 1 lymphocytes and can eliminate established tumors, the loss of IL-12 leads to drastically enhanced inflammation across various models of chronic inflammatory disease and autoimmunity. Likewise, IL-23, which plays a non-redundant function in the development of autoimmunity and type 3 immune responses, it also increases tumor growth. These at first glance paradoxically appearing properties form the focus of this presentation. I will discuss the discoveries around IL-12 and IL-23 from a historical perspective, taking into account the most recent findings on their immunoregulatory properties in the context of inflammation and cancer in particular and immunity in general.

Abstract :
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is the deadliest subtype of breast cancer Standard treatments for
patients with early stage, locally advanced or metastatic TNBC include the combination of neoadjuvant
chemotherapy and pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint blockade targeting the programmed cell
death 1 (PD-1) receptor PD-1 blockade reinvigorate tumor antigen specific CD8+ T cells in primary TNBC.
However, approximately 40 and 80 of early stage and advanced or metastatic TNBC are resistant to
PD 1 blockade therapy, respectively.
Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are an immunosuppressive subset of CD4+ T cells essential for maintaining self
tolerance in physiological settings. Abundant tumor infiltration by Tregs harbouring hallmarks of highly
suppressive CD25high effector Tregs (eTregs) has been associated with resistance to PD 1 blockade in
cancer indications for which pembrolizumab was approved much earlier than for TNBC, such as non
small cell lung cancer. In contrast, in TNBC, the prognostic value of intratumoral Tregs remains
controversial and no association between baseline levels of eTregs and responses to PD 1 blockade
therapy has been reported, despite the clinical significance of this cancer indication. In the present
thesis, we used single cell technologies to dissect the nature and function of eTreg during TNBC
progression. We found that an immunosuppressive TNBC microenvironment resistant to PD-1 blockade
therapy is marked by an imbalance between effector CD8+ T cells and CD25 high eTregs. We further
identified CD25 as the most selective surface marker of eTregs in primary TNBC and associated
metastases for limited on target/off target effects. In a syngeneic TNBC model, selective Treg depletion
by a next generation anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody (mAb; ALD 2510; Alderaan Biotechnology)
synergized with PD-1 blockade to safely mediate durable tumor growth control by increasing effector
αβCD8+ T cell/Treg ratios in tumors and in the peripheral blood Overall, we propose that Treg depletion
by next generation anti-CD25 mAb could improve clinical responses to PD-1 blockade therapy in patients
with TNBC at different stage of the disease

Mercredi 7 juin à 13h

Live-Cell Barcoding with Anti-CD45 Antibodies for Mass Cytometry

Résumé : Le codage à barres CD45 des cellules vivantes implique la coloration d’échantillons de cellules immunitaires avec des combinaisons uniques d’anticorps anti-CD45 comme identificateurs d’échantillons. Cela permet le regroupement d’échantillons afin de les traiter comme un échantillon de cellule unique pour la coloration et l’acquisition des cellules. Il améliore le flux de travail, améliore la cohérence des données et réduit l’utilisation de réactifs.

Au cours de ce webinaire, nous discuterons de toutes les étapes d’une expérience de codage à barres CD45 sur cellules vivantes, de la conception du panel à l’analyse des données. Tout d’abord, lors du panel design, il est important de s’assurer que la coloration CD45 n’interfère pas avec la détection de marqueurs d’intérêt dans d’autres canaux. Ensuite, plusieurs ajustements doivent être apportés aux procédures de coloration et d’acquisition. Enfin, les fichiers FCS obtenus à partir d’échantillons de cellules à code-barres sont décodés pour attribuer chaque événement cellulaire à son échantillon d’origine.

En espérant vous y retrouver nombreux !

A très bientôt !

GT Microbiologie-Cytométrie : Vitalité cellulaire

Le Groupe Microbiologie-Cytométrie de l’Association Française de Cytométrie

Vous invite à son Webinar 2023

Vitalité Cellulaire

La vitalité cellulaire dépend de la charge énergétique des cellules. Elle se traduit par la cinétique des réactions métaboliques ou activité métabolique. Dans les industries de fermentation, les ferments doivent être viables mais aussi actifs pour coloniser rapidement le milieu en début de fermentation. On peut aussi évaluer l’effet de stress sur les cellules par la mesure de vitalité. La cytométrie en flux permet de mesurer en 30min la vitalité cellulaire, ce qui est plus simple et plus rapide que les mesures cinétiques d’activités métaboliques. Ce webinaire présentera la méthode avec quelques exemples de corrélation avec des mesures d’activités sur des levures et des bactéries.
