    Abstract Tumors are highly complex and heterogenous ecosystems where malignant cells interact with healthy cells and the surrounding extracellular matrix (ECM). Solid tumors contain large ECM deposits that can constitute up to 60% of the tumor mass. This supports the survival and growth of cancerous cells and plays a critical role in the response to immune therapy. There is untapped potential in targeting the ECM and cell-ECM interactions to improve existing immune therapy and explore novel therapeutic strategies. The most abundant proteins in the ECM are the collagen family. There are 28 different collagen subtypes that can undergo several post-translational modifications (PTMs), which alter both their structure and functionality. Here, we review current knowledge on tumor collagen composition and the consequences of collagen PTMs affecting receptor binding, cell migration and tumor stiffness. Furthermore, we discuss how these alterations impact tumor immune responses and how collagen could be targeted to treat cancer.

    Abstract Similar to immune cells, non-hematopoietic cells recognize microbial and endogenous threats. Their response to these stimuli is dependent on the environmental context. For example, intact intestinal epithelium expresses pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) but should tolerate commensal bacteria, while damaged epithelium should respond promptly to initiate an immune response. This indicates that non-hematopoietic cells possess mechanisms to sense environmental context and regulate their responses. Inhibitory receptors provide context sensing to immune cells. For instance, they raise the threshold for activation to prevent overzealous immune activation to harmless stimuli. Inhibitory receptors are typically studied on hematopoietic cells, but several of these receptors are expressed on non-hematopoietic cells. Here, we review evidence for the regulation of non-hematopoietic cells by inhibitory receptors, focusing on epithelial and endothelial cells. We explain that inhibitory receptors on these cells can sense a wide range of signals, including cell-cell adhesion, cell-matrix adhesion, and apoptotic cells. More importantly, they regulate various functions on these cells, including immune activation, proliferation, and migration. In conclusion, we propose that inhibitory receptors provide context to non-hematopoietic cells by fine tuning their response to endogenous or microbial stimuli. These findings prompt to investigate the functions of inhibitory receptors on non-hematopoietic cells more systematically.

    Abstract Tissue-resident macrophages play important roles in tissue homeostasis and repair. However, how macrophages monitor and maintain tissue integrity is not well understood. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a key structural and organizational component of all tissues. Here, we find that macrophages sense the mechanical properties of the ECM to regulate a specific tissue repair program. We show that macrophage mechanosensing is mediated by cytoskeletal remodeling and can be performed in three-dimensional environments through a noncanonical, integrin-independent mechanism analogous to amoeboid migration. We find that these cytoskeletal dynamics also integrate biochemical signaling by colony-stimulating factor 1 and ultimately regulate chromatin accessibility to control the mechanosensitive gene expression program. This study identifies an "amoeboid" mode of ECM mechanosensing through which macrophages may regulate tissue repair and fibrosis.

    Abstract Pathogen- and damage-associated molecular patterns are sensed by the immune system's pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) upon contact with a microbe or damaged tissue. In situations such as contact with commensals or during physiological cell death, the immune system should not respond to these patterns. Hence, immune responses need to be context dependent, but it is not clear how context for molecular pattern recognition is provided. We discuss inhibitory receptors as potential counterparts to activating pattern recognition receptors. We propose a group of inhibitory pattern recognition receptors (iPRRs) that recognize endogenous and microbial patterns associated with danger, homeostasis, or both. We propose that recognition of molecular patterns by iPRRs provides context, helps mediate tolerance to microbes, and helps balance responses to danger signals.

    Abstract Signal inhibitory receptor on leukocytes-1 (SIRL-1) is an immune inhibitory receptor expressed on human myeloid cells. We previously showed that dendritic cell (DC)-driven Th17 cell differentiation of human naive CD4+ T cells requires presence of neutrophils, which is inhibited by SIRL-1 ligation. VSTM1-v2 is a soluble isoform of SIRL-1, which was previously proposed to function as a Th17 polarizing cytokine. Here, we investigated the effect of VSTM1-v2 on DC-driven Th17 cell development. Neutrophils induced DC-driven Th17 cell differentiation, which was not enhanced by VSTM1-v2. Similarly, we found no effect of VSTM1-v2 on cytokine-driven Th17 cell development. Thus, our results do not support a role for VSTM1-v2 in Th17 cell differentiation.

    Abstract The immune system protects the body from invaders such as viruses and bacteria. Immune cells must be activated in the correct context to function properly. It is critical that the receptors, costimulatory molecules, and cytokines that orchestrate this activation are carefully regulated to prevent uncontrolled inflammation and autoimmunity. Inhibitory receptors play an important role in regulation of immune cell function, usually upon interaction with ligands present on other cells. In contrast, the function of the inhibitory leukocyte-associated Ig-like receptor (LAIR)-1 can be regulated by extracellular matrix collagens. LAIR-1 is expressed on most cells of the immune system, and its function has been studied on multiple cell types. This review summarizes current literature about LAIR-1, a receptor that potentially is able to regulate multiple steps of an immune response.
