LF15-0195 generates tolerogenic dendritic cells by suppression of NF-κB signaling through inhibition of IKK activity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
LF15-0195 (LF) is a potent, less toxic analog of the immunosuppressant 15-deoxyspergualine, which we previously reported to prevent graft rejection and to induce permanent tolerance in a murine cardiac transplantation model. However, the underlying mechanism of action of LF required elucidation. In this study, dendritic cells (DC) treated with LF before activation with tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha)/lipopolysaccharide (LPS) failed to express maturation markers (major histocompatibility complex II, CD40, CD86) and interleukin-12. LF prevented, in a concentration-dependent manner, the activation and nuclear translocation of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) in DC following addition of TNF-alpha/LPS. Yet-activated and active IkappaB kinases (IKKs) were inhibited in cells pretreated with LF, thereby preventing the phosphorylation of IkappaB and release of NF-kappaB, a key regulator of genes associated with the maturation of DC. LF-induced inhibition of IKK activity was reversed in a dose-dependent manner by the overexpression of IKK. The T helper cell type 2 (Th2) differentiation of naïve T cells promoted by LF-treated DC in vitro correlates with Th2 polarization observed in transplant recipients made tolerant by LF. These data demonstrated that LF-induced blockade of NF-kappaB signaling at the level of IKK promoted the generation of tolerogenic DC that inhibited Th1 polarization and increased Th2 polarization in vitro and in vivo.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
