    Suppressive effects of sICOS-SV on the costimulation of T cells. A, CHO-K1 cells were transduced with either ICOSL-expressing lentiviral vector or GFP-empty vector (CHO-ICOSL − ) as a negative control. Expression of ICOSL on the cell surface of CHO-K1 was examined by flow cytometry using anti-ICOSL (open histogram with solid line) or lentivirus GFP-empty vector (open histogram with dotted line). Isotype antibody was used as a negative control (filled histogram). B, ICOSL-expressing CHO-K1 cells were stained with ICOS-SV Ig (red line), control IgG Ig (blue line), or PD-1 Ig (orange line) and analyzed by flow cytometry. Both soluble control Ig and PD-1 Ig were used as negative controls. GFP-empty vector-expression CHO-K1 cells stained with ICOS-SV Ig (green line) were used as another negative control for the binding assay. Isotype antibody control was used as a negative control (gray filled histogram). C, CD154 expression was determined by FACS analysis. Isotype control antibody is shown in gray. Activated T cells treated with a suboptimal dose of anti-CD3 were incubated with control Ig + CHO-ICOSL − cells (CHO cells transduced with GFP-empty vector, blue), control Ig + CHO-ICOSL + cells (green), PD-1 Ig + CHO-ICOSL + cells (red), or ICOS-SV Ig + CHO-ICOSL + cells (yellow). Both control Ig and PD-1 Ig were used as negative controls. D, Two-tailed unpaired t test was used to compare expression of CD154 between two groups. **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001. Standard deviation of the mean (SD) is shown. E, CD69 expression was determined by FACS analysis. Isotype control antibody is shown in gray. Activated T cells treated with a suboptimal dose of anti-CD3 were incubated with control Ig + CHO-ICOSL − cells (CHO cells transduced with GFP-empty vector, blue), control Ig + CHO-ICOSL + cells (green), PD-1 Ig + CHO-ICOSL + cells (red), or ICOS-SV Ig + CHO-ICOSL + cells (yellow). Both control Ig and PD-1 Ig were used as negative controls. F, Two-tailed unpaired t test was used to compare expression of CD69 between the two groups. **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001. Standard deviation of the mean (SD) is shown. G, CHO cells transduced with GFP-empty vector (CHO-ICOSL − ) were used as negative controls. Sample loading was normalized to total pan-Akt. H, T-cell proliferation was determined by a [ 3 H]-TdR thymidine incorporation assay. CHO cells transduced with empty vector (CHO-ICOSL − ) were used as negative controls. Two-tailed unpaired t test was used to compare 3 H uptake between the two groups, respectively. *, P < 0.1. Standard deviation of the mean (SD) is shown. I, Schematic diagram of ICOS/ICOSL costimulatory T-cell proliferation, as well as the blocking function of the sICOS-SV. Depicted are the cytoplasmic tail sequences of ICOS-FL and sICOS-SV isoforms. The YMFM Src Homology 2 (SH2) binding motif in the cytoplasmic tail of the ICOS-FL is highlighted in pink. Upon ICOS engagement by the ICOSL on CHO cells, the unique YMFM motif recruits a p85a and a p50a subunits of PI3K, resulting in the elevated phosphorylation of Akt, thereby inducing PI3K activity. In contrast, the ICOS-SV, a truncated isoform lacking the YMFM motif in its cytoplasmic tail, cannot elicit phosphorylation of Akt. Consequently, it fails to promote T-cell proliferation. The secreted ICOS-SV (red) competes with membrane-bound ICOS for binding to ICOSL, thereby blocking the interaction between ICOSL and membrane ICOS. As a result, the sICOS-SV suppresses phosphorylation of Akt and T-cell proliferation, leading to the inhibition of T-cell immunity. The diagram was created with BioRender.com. All data shown are representative of at least 2 independent experiments.

Both control Ig and PD-1 Ig were used as negative controls. D, Two-tailed unpaired t test was used to compare expression of CD154 between two groups. **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001. Standard deviation of the mean (SD) is shown. E, CD69 expression was determined by FACS analysis. Isotype control antibody is shown in gray. Activated T cells treated with a suboptimal dose of anti-CD3 were incubated with control Ig + CHO-ICOSL − cells (CHO cells transduced with GFP-empty vector, blue), control Ig + CHO-ICOSL + cells (green), PD-1 Ig + CHO-ICOSL + cells (red), or ICOS-SV Ig + CHO-ICOSL + cells (yellow). Both control Ig and PD-1 Ig were used as negative controls. F, Two-tailed unpaired t test was used to compare expression of CD69 between the two groups. **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001. Standard deviation of the mean (SD) is shown. G, CHO cells transduced with GFP-empty vector (CHO-ICOSL − ) were used as negative controls. Sample loading was normalized to total pan-Akt. H, T-cell proliferation was determined by a [ 3 H]-TdR thymidine incorporation assay. CHO cells transduced with empty vector (CHO-ICOSL − ) were used as negative controls. Two-tailed unpaired t test was used to compare 3 H uptake between the two groups, respectively. *, P < 0.1. Standard deviation of the mean (SD) is shown. I, Schematic diagram of ICOS/ICOSL costimulatory T-cell proliferation, as well as the blocking function of the sICOS-SV. Depicted are the cytoplasmic tail sequences of ICOS-FL and sICOS-SV isoforms. The YMFM Src Homology 2 (SH2) binding motif in the cytoplasmic tail of the ICOS-FL is highlighted in pink. Upon ICOS engagement by the ICOSL on CHO cells, the unique YMFM motif recruits a p85a and a p50a subunits of PI3K, resulting in the elevated phosphorylation of Akt, thereby inducing PI3K activity. In contrast, the ICOS-SV, a truncated isoform lacking the YMFM motif in its cytoplasmic tail, cannot elicit phosphorylation of Akt. Consequently, it fails to promote T-cell proliferation. The secreted ICOS-SV (red) competes with membrane-bound ICOS for binding to ICOSL, thereby blocking the interaction between ICOSL and membrane ICOS. As a result, the sICOS-SV suppresses phosphorylation of Akt and T-cell proliferation, leading to the inhibition of T-cell immunity. The diagram was created with BioRender.com. All data shown are representative of at least 2 independent experiments.

    sICOS from melanoma patients inhibits T-cell activation and proliferation induced by GM-CSF–driven DCs in MLRs. A, CD4 + T cells (responders) were stimulated by allogeneic GM-CSF–driven MoDCs (stimulators: negative control DCs, DCs generated by GM-CSF/IL4 + anti-IgG, or DCs generated by GM-CSF/IL4 + anti-CD116) in MLRs. T cells were assessed for activation via flow cytometry using anti-ICOS (blue), anti-GITR (green), or anti-CD25 (gray). Isotype control antibodies were used as negative controls. B, Statistical analysis of the percentage of CD4 + ICOS + , CD4 + GITR + , and CD4 + CD25 + T-cell populations from different groups as described above. C, Soluble ICOS levels were determined by ELISA using supernatants from the MLRs described above. D – E, Serum from sICOS-high and sICOS-negative patients were added to the MLRs, and T-cell proliferation ( D ) and CD69 expression ( E ) were evaluated. Additionally, sICOS was depleted from sICOS-high serum to assess its effects on T cells. F, Statistical analysis of the percentage of CD4 + CD69 + T-cell populations from different groups as described above. All data shown are representative of at least 2 independent experiments. Two-tailed unpaired t test was used between the two groups. **, P < 0.01; ***, P < 0.001; ****, P < 0.0001; ns, not significant ( P > 0.05). Standard deviation of the mean (SD) is shown.
