NOD/SCID小鼠模型在实验血液学研究中的应用

NOD/SCID（非肥胖糖尿病/重症联合免疫缺陷）小鼠是在SCID（重症联合免疫缺陷）小鼠的基础上与非肥胖性糖尿病小鼠（NOD/Lt）品系回交的免疫缺陷鼠。NOD/SCID小鼠既有先天免疫缺陷,又有T和B淋巴细胞缺乏,各种肿瘤细胞可以植入,且较少发生排斥反应及移植物抗宿主病（GVHD）,所以NOD/SCID小鼠逐渐成为血液学实验研究的有用工具。本文从NOD/SCID小鼠的生物学特性、建立人类白血病模型、干细胞移植、药物研究及NOD/SCID小鼠应用中存在的不足和改良等方面综合述评。

Occurrence of mature B (IgM+, B220+) and T (CD3+) lymphocytes in scid mice

Scid mice with and without detectable serum Ig (scid Ig+ and scid Ig- mice, respectively) were examined for the presence of mature "leaky" lymphocytes by flow microfluorimetry with the use of antibodies to B (IgM, B220) and T (CD3, CD4, CD8) lymphocyte surface Ag. The data showed that leaky scid mice are more frequent than is evident from serum Ig analysis and that the incidence of detectable B and T cells increases with age. IgM+ B220+ cells were not detectable in young adult mice (3 mo old), but in old mice (greater than or equal to 1 yr old) they were routinely present in the peritoneal cavity though not in the spleen. Striking differences in the representation of T cell subsets were seen in the thymus of these two age groups. Most young adult mice contained CD3- populations of CD4/CD8 double positive cells, and in some cases, CD4 or CD8 single positive cells as well. By contrast, identifiable T lineage cells in old mice were all CD3+ and predominantly single positive for CD4 or CD8. Detectable peripheral T cell populations numbered less than 10(5) cells, and the representation of T subset markers (CD4, CD8) varied widely among individual mice; further, Southern blot analysis of TCR gene rearrangements in the DNA of polyclonally stimulated lymphoid cultures from these mice showed very restricted heterogeneity relative to that of cultures from normal mice. We conclude that most leaky mice contain very few T cell clones.     

Human T cells in the SCID-hu mouse are phenotypically normal and functionally competent

SCID-hu mice are heterochimeric animals that are constructed by transplanting human fetal thymus (Thy), liver (Liv), and/or lymph nodes into congenitally immunodeficient C.B-17 scid/scid (SCID) mice. Sensitive and specific two-color flow cytometric assays were used to evaluate human lymphocytes from peripheral blood of SCID-hu mice. Kinetic studies presented in this report show long term T lymphopoiesis in SCID-hu mice. Approximately one-half of SCID-hu mice constructed with Thy and Liv tissue develop detectable levels of circulating human T cells by 4 mo after transplantation. The average level of circulating human cells in SCID-hu mice is generally less than 2% of the total lymphoid cells in the peripheral blood of these mice. Some SCID-hu mice with as high as 13% human lymphocytes, however, have been detected. Nearly all human cells in the peripheral blood of SCID-hu mice are CD3+ cells that express TCR-alpha beta. The percentages of gamma delta+, CD4+, CD8+, CD25+, CD69+, and Leu-8+ cells among CD45+ cells in SCID-hu blood are similar to the levels found in adult peripheral blood. On average, 74% of SCID-hu T cells express CD45RA and 18% express CD29. Functional studies demonstrate that cells from SCID-hu Thy/Liv grafts or human T cells from SCID-hu peripheral blood are functionally competent to respond to mitogens or allogeneic human cells in vitro. They are similar to fetal thymocytes or adult T cells, respectively, in these responses. These studies demonstrate that the SCID-hu mouse is a useful model for the analysis of human immune differentiation and function in vivo.     

CD4+CD8- thymocytes from neonatal mice induce IgM production in SCID mice.

Defective recombination of both the TCR and Ig genes results in the absence of mature lymphocytes in mice with the scid mutation. We have shown previously that the transfer of neonatal, but not adult, thymocytes results in high levels of Ig production in 100% of C.B-17-scid (SCID) mice, in contrast to the 10 to 25% of SCID mice spontaneously producing low levels of oligoclonal Ig. In this report we demonstrate that neonatal CD4+8- thymocytes were able to induce this response; the CD4+8+ and CD4-8+ subpopulations were totally inactive and CD4-8- T cells had only limited activity several weeks after transfer. The stimulation of IgM production in SCID mice was detectable by 1 wk posttransfer of CD4+8- thymocytes or splenic T cells, and could be achieved with as few as 300 cells. The ability of neonatal CD4+8- thymocytes to induce Ig diminished gradually to insignificant levels at 3 wk postbirth; this loss of function was not associated with differential survival of neonatal T cells. Neonatal CD4+8- thymocytes from C.B-17 and other H-2d strains rescued Ig production, whereas cells from H-2b, H-2a, and H-2k strains were much less effective. These results suggest that a CD4+8- subpopulation found in both neonatal thymus and peripheral lymphoid tissues is able to induce the expansion or differentiation of the small numbers of functional B lymphocytes in SCID mice, and that the inducing T cell disappears shortly after birth, perhaps during the acquisition of self-tolerance.     

The function of antigen-presenting cells in mice with severe combined immunodeficiency

We have examined the antigen-presenting function of spleen cells in the C.B-17 scid mouse, a mutation that severely impairs the development of T and B lymphocytes. We show that antigen-presenting cells (APC) of SCID mice function normally in antigen-specific proliferative responses of primed T cells and in the antigen-specific activation of IL 2-producing T cell hybridomas. In both quantitative and qualitative terms, APC of SCID mice are equivalent to those of normal mice. These results indicate that the development and differentiation of APC function in vivo is independent of signals from mature, functional T or B lymphocytes.

Impaired IL-7 signaling may explain a case of atypical JAK3-SCID

Janus kinase 3-severe combined immunodeficiency (JAK3-SCID) is an autosomal recessive immunodeficiency disease caused by various mutations in the JAK3 gene. Typical JAK3-SCID is characterized by a phenotype in which B cells are present but T and NK cells are not, the T^?B⁺NK^? phenotype, and by impaired signaling through cytokine receptors that use the common gamma chain (γc) subunit. An atypical JAK3-SCID case carrying a single glutamate to glycine substitution mutation (E481G) in the JH3 domain of one JAK3 allele, and a deletion mutation (del482-596) in the JH3 and JH2 domains of the other allele was reported previously. Although this patient had CD4⁺ T cells and NK cells unlike typical cases, the CD4⁺ T cells were functionally impaired. We report here that the JAK3-E481G mutant transduced IL-2-, IL-4-, IL-15-, and IL-21-induced signals as efficiently as wild-type JAK3. However, this mutant failed to respond to IL-7 by phosphorylating JAK1, JAK3, or STAT5. The other mutant JAK3, JAK3-del482-596, was non-functional. Thus, an impaired IL-7 signal may cause SCID and compromise T-cell differentiation, even if the IL-15 signal is preserved and supports NK-cell development, as in this patient.     

Rearrangement of antigen receptor genes is defective in mice with severe combined immune deficiency

A process unique to lymphocyte differentiation is the rearrangement of genes encoding antigen-specific receptors on B and T cells. A mouse mutant (C.B-17scid) with severe combined immune deficiency, i.e., that lacks functional B and T cells, shows no evidence of such gene rearrangements. However, rearrangements were detected in Abelson murine leukemia virus-transformed bone marrow cells and in spontaneous thymic lymphomas from C.B-17scid mice. Most of these rearrangements were abnormal: approximately 80% of Igh rearrangements deleted the entire Jh region, and approximately 60% of TCR beta rearrangements deleted the entire J beta 2 region. The deletions appeared to result from faulty D-to-J recombination. No such abnormal rearrangements were detected in transformed tissues from control mice. The scid mutation may adversely affect the recombinase system catalyzing the assembly of antigen receptor genes in developing B and T lymphocytes.     

Recovery from chronic rotavirus infection in mice with severe combined immunodeficiency: virus clearance mediated by adoptive transfer of immune CD8+ T lymphocytes.

Severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice lack both functional T and B cells. These mice develop chronic rotavirus infection following an oral inoculation with the epizootic diarrhea of infant mice (EDIM) rotavirus. Reconstitution of rotavirus-infected SCID mice with T lymphocytes from immunocompetent mice allows an evaluation of a role of T-cell-mediated immunity in clearing chronic rotavirus infection. Complete rotavirus clearance was demonstrated in C.B-17/scid mice 7 to 9 days after the transfer of immune CD8+ splenic T lymphocytes from histocompatible BALB/c mice previously immunized intraperitoneally with the EDIM-w strain of murine rotavirus. The virus clearance mediated by T-cell transfer was restricted to H-2d-bearing T cells and occurred in the absence of rotavirus-specific antibody as determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, neutralization, immunohistochemistry, and radioimmunoprecipitation. Temporary clearance of rotavirus was observed after the transfer of immune CD8+ T cells isolated from the intestinal mucosa (intraepithelial lymphocytes [IELs]) or the spleens of BALB/c mice previously infected with EDIM by the oral route. Chronic virus shedding was transiently eliminated 7 to 11 days after spleen cell transfer and 11 to 12 days after IEL transfer. However, recurrence of rotavirus infection was detected 1 to 8 days later in all but one SCID recipient receiving cells from orally immunized donors. The viral clearance was mediated by IELs that were both Thy1+ and CD8+. These data demonstrated that the clearance of chronic rotavirus infection in SCID mice can be mediated by immune CD8+ T lymphocytes and that this clearance can occur in the absence of virus-specific antibodies.     

Generation of cytotoxic T cells against virus-infected human brain macrophages in a murine model of HIV-1 encephalitis

HIV-1 encephalitis (HIVE) and its associated dementia can occur in up to 20% of infected individuals, usually when productive viral replication in brain mononuclear phagocytes (macrophages and microglia) and depletion of CD4(+) T lymphocytes are most significant. T cells control viral replication through much of HIV-1 disease, but how this occurs remains incompletely understood. With this in mind, we studied HIV-1-specific CTL responses in a nonobese diabetic (NOD)-SCID mouse model of HIVE. HIV-1-infected monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) were injected into the basal ganglia after syngeneic immune reconstitution by HLA-A*0201-positive human PBL to generate a human PBL-NOD-SCID HIVE mouse. Engrafted T lymphocytes produced HIV-1gag- and HIV-1pol-specific CTL against virus-infected brain MDM within 7 days. This was demonstrated by tetramer staining of human PBL in mouse spleens and by IFN-gamma ELISPOT. CD8, granzyme B, HLA-DR, and CD45R0 Ag-reactive T cells and CD79alpha-positive B cells migrated to and were in contact with human MDM in brain areas where infected macrophages were abundant. The numbers of productively infected MDM were markedly reduced (>85%) during 2 wk of observation. The human PBL-NOD-SCID HIVE mouse provides a new tool for studies of cellular immune responses against HIV-1-infected brain mononuclear phagocytes during natural disease and after vaccination.
