摘要
The intravenous delivery of disease-relevant antigens (Ag) by polymeric nanoparticles (NP-Ags) has demonstrated Ag-specific immune tolerance in autoimmune and allergic disorders as well as allogeneic transplant rejection. NP-Ags are observed to distribute to the spleen, which has an established role in the induction of immune tolerance. However, studies have shown that the spleen is dispensable for NP-Ag-induced tolerance, suggesting significant contributions from other immunological sites. Here, we investigated the tolerogenic contributions of Kupffer cells (KCs) and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) to NP-Ag-induced tolerance in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). Intravenously delivered Ag-conjugated poly(lactide-co-glycolide) NPs (PLG-Ag) distributed largely to the liver, where they associated with both KCs and LSECs. This distribution was accompanied by CD4 T cell accumulation, clonal deletion, and PD-L1 expression by KCs and LSECs. Ex vivo co-cultures of PLG-Ag-treated KCs or LSECs with Ag-specific CD4 T cells resulted in PGE2 and IL-10 or PGE2 secretion, respectively. KC depletion and adoptive transfer experiments demonstrated that KCs were sufficient, but not necessary, to mediate PLG-Ag-induced tolerance in EAE. The durability of PLG-Ag-induced tolerance in the absence of KCs may be attributed to the distribution of PLG-Ags to LSECs, which demonstrated similar levels of PD-L1, PGE2, and T cell stimulatory ability. Collectively, these studies provide mechanistic support for the role of liver KCs and LSECs in Ag-specific tolerance for a biomaterial platform that is currently being evaluated in clinical trials.
