Sialoadhesin-Positive Host Macrophages Play an Essential Role in Graft-Versus-Leukemia Reactivity in Mice

Susanne Müerköster, Marian Rocha, Paul R. Crocker, Volker Schirrmacher, and Victor Umansky

From the Division of Cellular Immunology, Tumor Immunology Program, German Cancer Research Center, Heidelberg, Germany; and The Wellcome Trust Building, Department of Biochemistry, University of Dundee, Dundee, UK.

We recently established an effective immune T-cell-mediated graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) murine model system in which complete tumor remissions were achievable even in advanced metastasized cancer. We now describe that this T-cell-mediated therapy is dependent on host macrophages expressing the lymphocyte adhesion molecule sialoadhesin (Sn). Depletion of Kupffer cells in tumor-bearing mice during adoptive immunotherapy (ADI) or the treatment of these animals with anti-Sn monoclonal antibodies led to complete or partial inhibition of the immune T-cell-mediated therapeutic effect. Furthermore, Sn+ host macrophages in livers formed clusters during ADI with donor CD8 T cells. To test for a possible antigen presentation function of these macrophages, we used as an in vitro model the antigen beta -galactosidase for which a dominant major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I Ld-restricted peptide epitope is known to be recognized by specific CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). We demonstrate that purified Sn+ macrophages can process exogenous beta -galactosidase and stimulate MHC class I peptide-restricted CTL responses. Thus, Sn+ macrophages, which are significantly increased in the liver after ADI, may process tumor-derived proteins via the MHC class I pathway as well as via the MHC class II pathway, as shown previously, and present respective peptide epitopes to CD8 as well as to CD4 immune T cells, respectively. The synergistic interactions observed before between immune CD4 and CD8 T cells during ADI could thus occur in the observed clusters with Sn+ host macrophages.
