BCG-induced suppressor cells. I. Demonstration of a macrophage-like suppressor cell that inhibits cytotoxic T cell generation in vitro. 总被引:28,自引:0,他引:28
Spleen cells obtained from mice 5 to 40 days after infection with viable BCG organisms (BCG-spleens) were found to be unresponsive in vitro to both mitogenic and alloantigenic stimuli. Moreover, suppressor cells could be demonstrated in the spleens from these infected animals. When spleen cells from BCG-infected mice were added to either syngeneic or allogeneic normal spleen cells, the mixtures neither proliferated nor developed cytotoxic activity when cultured with alloantigen or with concanavalin A (Con A). The development of unresponsiveness post-infection paralleled the onset of suppressive activity. Spleen cells obtained from mice given heat-killed BCG were neither suppressive nor unresponsive. The suppressive activity of BCG-spleen cells was associated with an adherent, phagocytic cell that lacked membrane-associated Thy-1 antigen. Removal of this cell by passage through nylon wool columns resulted in a cell population that was no longer capable of suppression and that responded normally to alloantigen and to Con A. It would thus appear that BCG infection results in the development of a "suppressor" macrophage-like cell population within the spleen. The role of this cell type in regulation of the immune response in BCG-infected animals is as yet undefined. 相似文献

Mice sensitized against a tumor allograft and given cyclophosmamide 6 days later failed to generate an immune response to the allograft. Spleen cells derived from these mice suppressed the generation of cytotoxic T cell response by normal spleen cells in mixed leukocyte cultures. The suppressor cells were not specific, thymus dependent, and resistant to 2000 R. 相似文献

Regulatory responses in contact sensitivity: afferent suppressor T cells inhibit the activation of efferent suppressor T cells. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Two types of suppressor cells regulate the contact sensitivity (CS) response to picryl chloride (PCL). Afferent suppressor T cells (Ts-aff) inhibit the generation of CS responses to PCL, while efferent suppressor T cells (Ts-eff) inhibit the activity of Th 1 cells that mediate CS reaction. Intravenous injection of mice with TNP-substituted peritoneal exudate cells (TNP-PEC) induces Ts-eff cells that block the adoptive transfer of contact sensitivity. The induction of Ts-eff cells is prevented by the presence of Ts-aff cells, which in turn are induced by the injection of TNP-PEC coupled with antibodies of the IgG2a and IgG2b isotype (TNP-PEC-Ab). If an animal is injected with TNP-PEC prior to or simultaneously with TNP-PEC-Ab, it generates only Ts-aff cells, while if it is injected with TNP-PEC alone or TNP-PEC prior to TNP-PEC-Ab, it generates Ts-eff cells. Ts-aff cells effect only the generation of Ts-eff cells, as the addition of Ts-eff cells to assays for Ts-eff cells has no inhibitory effect on the suppressive effects of Ts-eff cells in adoptive transfer. Our experiments show that Ts-aff cells induced by TNP-PEC-Ab are phenotypically either Lyt 1+2- or Lyt 1-2+, but only the latter inhibit the generation of Ts-eff cells in vivo. The Ts-aff cells that inhibit Ts-eff activity adhere to the lectin Vicia villosa (VV), while Ts-eff cells are VV nonadherent. In addition, Ts-aff cells can prevent the generation of Ts-eff to linked haptens presented on the same PEC. It appears that a cascade of Ts cell interactions are involved in the regulation of CS responses. 相似文献

Postnatal T-suppressor cells have been detected in a number of experimental systems. They have been shown to inhibit humoral responses, proliferation in a mixed-lymphocyte reaction and the induction of killer cells. The suppressor function observed in the postnatal mouse does not appear to be antigen specific and its ontogeny may be influenced by other cell types and by serum factors such as α-fetoprotein. We have detected a nonadherent, radioresistant splenic T cell present in neonatal mice ranging in age from 1 to 9 days which can nonspecifically suppress killer cell induction. This suppressor cell must be cultured in vitro in order to function, but it does not require alloantigen to be induced. Adult spleen cells tested in the same system yield antigen-specific T-cell suppression. Our results suggest that the nonspecific suppressor detectable in 1- to 9-day-old mice disappears in adult life, and is replaced by antigen-specific suppressors. The biological role of these suppressors is discussed. 相似文献

Soluble forms of CD40 inhibit biologic responses of human B cells. 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20

We have expressed the CD40 surface Ag as both a soluble 28-kDa molecule and a 57-kDa Fc fusion protein containing the human IgG1 Fc region. Soluble CD40 and the Fc fusion protein inhibited the proliferative response of anti-IgM-activated human B cells to the CD40 mAb G28-5. Similarly, G28-5- and IL-4-induced IgE secretion from PBMC depleted of T cells was effectively blocked by both forms of soluble CD40. Although the soluble constructs of CD40 had only a minimal inhibitory effect on IL-4-mediated proliferation of anti-IgM-activated B cells, IL-4-induced soluble CD23 shedding from both PBMC and T cells depleted of PBMC, and IgE secretion from PBMC, were significantly reduced in a concentration-dependent manner when soluble CD40 was present in the culture. The data presented demonstrate that both soluble forms of the CD40 molecule are biologically active, and suggest that the ligand for CD40 is inducible in IL-4-stimulated cultures and that it mediates both shedding of sCD23 and IgE secretion. 相似文献

Murine T and B splenocytes were incubated with antibodies that recognize CD3 or surface IgM. These antibodies induced proliferation of their respective target cells. Once stimulated via their receptors, the proliferation of both CD4+ and CD8+ T but not B lymphocytes was inhibited by class I-specific antibodies or their monovalent Fab' fragments. The inhibition of proliferation was dependent on the site on class I molecules recognized by the antibodies used, with the alpha 1/alpha 2 domains of H-2K molecules representing the major site for inhibition. Only soluble antibody-mediated proliferation could be inhibited by class I-directed antibodies; proliferation induced by CD3-specific antibody immobilized on plastic was not inhibited. Primary allogeneic MLR was also inhibited by class I-specific antibodies. In contrast, neither secondary allogeneic MLR, secondary Ag-specific responses, nor proliferation of CTL clones or tumor cell lines were inhibited by class I-specific antibodies. These results suggest a role for class I molecules in regulation of TCR/CD3- but not surface IgM-mediated cell signaling, which depends on the form of stimulation and the stage of differentiation of T cells. 相似文献

Supernates from concanavalin A (Con A)-activated mouse spleen cell cultures suppress the formation of B-lymphocyte colonies (BLC) in soft agar culture by 30 to 95%. Con A-induced BLC suppressive culture supernates can be heated at 80 °C for 1 hr without losing activity. The BLC suppressive activity is eliminated totally by trypsin treatment and partly by treatment with β-galactosidase. Activity is unaffected by treatment with DNAse, RNAse, and α-glucosidase. By ultrafiltration the BLC suppressive factor(s) was shown to have a molecular weight greater than 300,000. These data suggest that BLC suppression is mediated by a protein-carbohydrate complex. BLC suppression was obtained when normal spleen cells were preincubated in Con A-activated supernates for only 1 hr at 37 °C. BLC suppressor activity was absent in the supernatant fluid of Con A exposed anti-θ-treated spleen cells, nonadherent spleen cells, extensively washed spleen cells, and spleen cells from nude (athymic) mice suggesting that cells responsible for Con A-induced BLC suppression are adherent, fragile cells of the T lineage. Con A-activated spleen cell supernates do not suppress colony formation in soft agar by normal mouse granulocyte-macrophage precursors, by plasmacytoma cells, T-lymphoma cells, or by carcinoma cells. However, colony formation by Abelson's murine leukemia virus transformed B-lymphoma cells was suppressed by 95% suggesting a relationship between this immature B-lymphoma line and B-lymphocyte colony-forming cells. Con A-activated spleen cell supernates do not suppress lymphocyte activation in liquid culture by phytohemagglutinin, Con A, or lipopolysaccharide. Heat-treated supernates—which inhibited BLC development by 90–95%—did not suppress the plaque formation by spleen cells immunized in vivo or in vitro by sheep red blood cells. 相似文献

Antibody and complement immobilize (kill) Treponema pallidum in vitro. Recent evidence also documents immobilization by soluble factors released by activated macrophages and lymphocytes. Immune-mediated lysis of treponemes, however, has not been reported. The findings in this paper focus on apparent treponemal lysis by rabbit splenic cell preparations. Using cells from animals infected testicularly for 9 to 12 days, unfractionated splenic preparations, as well as adherent and nonadherent preparations, killed and lysed T. pallidum. Phagocytosis alone could not explain the detrimental effects of adherent cells. When cytochalasin B was used to block phagocytosis, decreases in treponemal numbers were still detected. In related studies, immune rabbit sera did not enhance treponemicidal activity of the adherent cells. To assess the specificity of these reactions, T. pallidum was incubated with two monocyte-like cell lines (human U937 and mouse P388D1). Neither cell line was detrimental, and treponemal numbers were not lowered. The soluble nature of the treponemicidal factors from adherent and nonadherent preparations was shown by physically separating these cells from the organisms and demonstrating treponemal killing and lysis. In summary, clearance of T. pallidum from infected tissues is probably at least partially attributed to macrophage phagocytosis. Our findings suggest another mechanism involving lytic factors secreted by activated adherent and nonadherent cells. 相似文献

Soluble suppressor factors in the sera of cancer patients inhibit lectin-stimulated lymphocyte proliferation. These factors, derived from human material, preclude easy corroboration by other investigators. To gain a general understanding of soluble suppressor factors and to avoid the necessary restrictions of human experimentation, an animal model was devised. Sprague-Dawley rats were injected ip with the Walker 256 carcinoma. The resultant ascites proved to be a stable, reproducible source of soluble suppressor factors. Ascites inhibited phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-induced blastogenesis of normal splenocytes by 98%. The possibility of a toxic effect was eliminated by vital staining of splenocytes and by examination in a specific lymphotoxin assay. Suppressor activity persisted after heating at 100 °C for 40 min. Extraction by lipid solvents revealed that the bulk of suppressor activity resides in the lipid phase. The active fraction of heat-treated ascites passed through an Amicon PM-10 filter. Thin-layer chromatography revealed the presence of prostaglandins E2 and F2a. Tissue culture supernatants from short-term cultures derived from tumor-bearing animals revealed suppressor activity from thymus, spleen, and liver cultures (97, 91, and 71%, respectively). No suppressor activity was detected in cultures of cancer cells. This study has demonstrated in this animal model that prostaglandins play a major role in suppression of lectin-induced blastogenesis. All suppressor factors appear to be host derived. An understanding of the mechanism of release of these suppressor substances may open new avenues in the immunotherapy of cancer. 相似文献

TRF requirements for in vitro PFC responses to SRBC and R36a. I. TRF is distinct from IL 2 but indistinguishable from polyclonal BCSF 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

In vitro PFC responses to the thymus-independent (TI) antigen Streptococcus pneumoniae R36a require T cell replacing factor(s) (TRF). This requirement for TRF is as significant as for the thymus-dependent (TD) antigen SRBC. TRF is shown to be distinct from IL 2 by the following observations: 1) culture supernatants from the cloned T cell line L2, collected over an 8-day period after allogeneic stimulation, transiently contain IL 2 activity but maintain high levels of TRF activity throughout 192 hr; 2) L2V, a variant subclone of L2, produces much higher levels of TRF activity than the parental line but no detectable IL 2 activity; 3) the addition of IL2+, TRF- supernatants from the T cell hybridoma FS6-14.13 does not affect the L2V SF-driven PFC responses to R36a or SRBC; and 4) the addition of contaminating T cells to cultures containing T cell-depleted spleen cells, L2V SF, and antigen does not affect the PFC response. TRF does appear to be indistinguishable from polyclonal B cell stimulating factor (BCSF), which stimulates polyclonal PFC responses in the absence of antigen, mitogen, or anti-Ig. The TRF and BCSF activities of L2V SF could not be separated by ion-exchange, hydrophobic-interaction, and gel-filtration chromatography. TRF and BCSF have an apparent m.w. of approximately 40,000. 相似文献

A mutant mouse strain without CD8 (Lyt-2 and Lyt-3) expression on the cell surface has been generated by disrupting the Lyt-2 gene using embryonic stem cell technology. In these mice, CD8+ T lymphocytes are not present in peripheral lymphoid organs, but the CD4+ T lymphocyte population seems to be unaltered. Cytotoxic response of T lymphocytes from these mice against alloantigens and viral antigens is dramatically decreased. Proliferative response against alloantigens and in vivo help to B lymphocytes, however, are not affected. These data suggest that CD8 is necessary for the maturation and positive selection of class I MHC restricted cytotoxic T lymphocytes but is not required on any of the intermediate thymocyte populations (CD8+CD4-TcR- or CD4+CD8+TcRlow) during the development of functional class II MHC restricted helper T cells. 相似文献

Background
We identified two 3p21.3 regions (LUCA and AP20) as most frequently affected in lung, breast and other carcinomas and reported their fine physical and gene maps. It is becoming increasingly clear that each of these two regions contains several TSGs. Until now TSGs which were isolated from AP20 and LUCA regions (e.g.G21/NPRL2, RASSF1A, RASSF1C, SEMA3B, SEMA3F, RBSP3) were shown to inhibit tumour cell growth both in vitro and in vivo.Methodology/Principal Findings
The effect of expression HYAL1 and HYAL2 was studied by colony formation inhibition, growth curve and cell proliferation tests in vitro and tumour growth assay in vivo. Very modest growth inhibition was detected in vitro in U2020 lung and KRC/Y renal carcinoma cell lines. In the in vivo experiment stably transfected KRC/Y cells expressing HYAL1 or HYAL2 were inoculated into SCID mice (10 and 12 mice respectively). Tumours grew in eight mice inoculated with HYAL1. Ectopic HYAL1 was deleted in all of them. HYAL2 was inoculated into 12 mice and only four tumours were obtained. In 3 of them the gene was deleted. In one tumour it was present but not expressed. As expected for tumour suppressor genes HYAL1 and HYAL2 were down-expressed in 15 fresh lung squamous cell carcinomas (100%) and clear cell RCC tumours (60–67%).Conclusions/Significance
The results suggest that the expression of either gene has led to inhibition of tumour growth in vivo without noticeable effect on growth in vitro. HYAL1 and HYAL2 thus differ in this aspect from other tumour suppressors like P53 or RASSF1A that inhibit growth both in vitro and in vivo. Targeting the microenvironment of cancer cells is one of the most promising venues of cancer therapeutics. As major hyaluronidases in human cells, HYAL1 and HYAL2 may control intercellular interactions and microenvironment of tumour cells providing excellent targets for cancer treatment. 相似文献18.

CD11b(+)Gr-1(+) myeloid suppressor cells (MSC) accumulate in lymphoid organs under conditions of intense immune stress where they inhibit T and B cell function. We recently described the generation of immortalized MSC lines that provide a homogeneous source of suppressor cells for dissecting the mechanism of suppression. In this study we show that the MSC lines potently block in vitro proliferation of T cells stimulated with either mitogen or antigenic peptide, with as few as 3% of MSC cells causing complete suppression. Inhibition of mitogenic and peptide-specific responses is not associated with a loss in IL-2 production or inability to up-modulate the early activation markers, CD69 and CD25, but results in direct impairment of the three IL-2R signaling pathways, as demonstrated by the lack of Janus kinase 3, STAT5, extracellular signal-regulated kinase, and Akt phosphorylation in response to IL-2. Suppression is mediated by and requires NO, which is secreted by MSC in response to signals from activated T cells, including IFN-gamma and a contact-dependent stimulus. Experiments with inducible NO synthase knockout mice demonstrated that the inhibition of T cell proliferation by CD11b(+)Gr-1(+) cells in the spleens of immunosuppressed mice is also dependent upon NO, indicating that the MSC lines accurately represent their normal counterparts. The distinctive capacity of MSC to generate suppressive signals when encountering activated T cells defines a specialized subset of myeloid cells that most likely serve a regulatory function during times of heightened immune activity. 相似文献

The mechanism whereby Cyclosporin A (CsA) inhibits secondary mixed lymphocyte responses was assessed. CsA added to secondary MLR cultures inhibited proliferation and induction of cytolytic lymphocyte activity. This inhibition was found to be associated with the inhibition of T lymphocyte stimulating growth factor(s) (TCGF) production in the supernatants of secondary MLR cultures. As little as 1.0 micrograms/ml of CsA added to secondary MLR cultures resulted in no measurable TCGF activity. In contrast, moderate doses of CsA (1.0, 2.5 micrograms/ml), which completely inhibited the secondary MLR response to alloantigen, did not inhibit the proliferative and CML response of alloantigen-primed lymphocytes to these stimulating growth factors. Even at high doses of CsA (20 micrograms/ml), substantial levels of proliferation (50% of control response) and CML induction (60% of control response) were observed when the primed cells were exposed to secondary MLR supernatants containing TCGF activity. It was concluded that inhibition of secondary mixed lymphocyte responses by CsA may be due in part to the inhibition of TCGF production rather than the inhibition of the effect of TCGF on mature cytotoxic T lymphocytes. 相似文献
