青春型双歧杆菌生态制品对小鼠肝癌抑制作用的初步研究

本文观察了青春型双歧杆菌(Bif.a)对小鼠肝癌移植瘤的抑制作用。结果发现,青春型双歧杆菌在瘤细胞移植前或移植后应用均显示了抑制肿瘤生长的作用。将青春型双歧杆菌注入肤腔可激活肤腔巨噬细胞,提高其吞噬功能和非特异性酯酶活性,而加入体外培养的小鼠肝癌细胞未显示有杀伤瘤细胞作用。认为青春型双歧杆菌的抑瘤作用可能是该菌刺激了宿主的免疫活性细胞杀伤了瘤细胞,而非直接杀伤作用。     

双歧杆菌对小鼠单核吞噬细胞功能的影响

双歧杆菌是革兰氏阳性无芽胞厌氧菌,是人和动物肠道的正常菌群之一。我们研究了注射双歧杆菌对小鼠单核吞噬细胞功能的影响。注射婴儿双歧杆菌和青春双歧杆菌后小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞酸性磷酸酶含量增加、吞噬试验的吞噬率及吞噬指数明显提高,表明双歧杆菌能增加巨噬细胞吞噬消化功能,以婴儿双歧杆菌为启动剂可从DBA/2小鼠体内诱生肿瘤坏死因子,提示双歧杆菌可调节单核吞噬细胞分泌细胞因子。因此双歧杆菌能激活单核吞噬细胞,促进机体的免疫学反应。推测定居于肠道的双歧杆菌可能是通过移位到体内器官、释放免疫活性成分被肠道中Peryer氏淋巴结群内的巨噬细胞吞噬,从而作用于机体单核吞噬细胞系统。这一推测尚需进一步研究证实。

Origin and differentiation of natural killer cells. II. Functional and morphologic studies of purified NK-1.1+ cells

Cells bearing the NK-specific marker NK-1.1 were purified from mouse spleens by utilizing a monoclonal anti-NK-1.1 antibody and cell sorting. In normal adult mice, all of the splenic NK activity against YAC-1 cells was found in the NK-1.1+ fraction, whereas NK-1.1- cells were depleted of NK activity. The NK activity of sorted NK-1.1+ cells was enriched 15- to 30-fold over unfractionated spleen cells. Light and electron microscopic studies of purified NK-1.1+ cells showed a homogeneous population of cells, each containing one to four cytoplasmic granules. Mice whose bone marrow has been destroyed by chronic exposure to 17-beta-estradiol have very low NK activity. However, spleen cells of estradiol-treated mice contained a normal frequency of NK-1.1+ cells which bound to YAC-1 cells, but failed to lyse them even after purification and subsequent exposure to interferon-alpha/beta in vitro. It appears, therefore, that in the absence of intact bone marrow, NK-1.1+ cells may be arrested in a nonlytic and interferon-unresponsive state. Spleens of neonatal mice which have low NK activity were analyzed to ascertain whether immature NK-1.1+ cells, similar to those found in estradiol-treated mice, could be demonstrated. Spleens of 8- to 9-day-old mice also contained NK-1.1+ cells which had very low NK activity even after purification. Sorted NK-1.1+ cells were examined for cytotoxicity in mice whose NK activity was suppressed by pretreatment with Corynebacterium parvum (-15 days). In contrast to cells from estradiol-treated and neonatal mice, NK-1.1+ from mice treated with C. parvum had normal functional activity. Similarly, although NK activity of unfractionated bone marrow cells is low, sorted NK-1.1+ cells were greatly enriched for lytic activity. Thus, we conclude that cell sorting with monoclonal anti-NK-1.1 antibody provides a powerful tool for examining the mechanisms underlying various states of low NK activity, and there exist NK-1.1+, nonlytic, interferon-unresponsive cells which apparently require an intact marrow microenvironment for differentiation into mature, lytic NK cells.     

The NK-1.1(-) mouse: a model to study differentiation of murine NK cells

The NK-1.1(-) mouse was constructed by weekly injections of monoclonal anti-NK-1.1 antibody from birth through adulthood. Spleen cells from these mice have decreased NK-1.1+ cells and null (Thy-1- and B220-) cells. Their splenic NK activity to YAC targets was low and was not enhanced by IFN-alpha or IFN-beta. Bone marrow (BM) of these NK-1.1(-) mice have normal precursors to NK cells: 1) NK activity could be generated from NK-1.1(-) BM cells cultured in rIL 2 for 5 to 6 days. These cultured BM cells expressed Qa-5, Thy-1, AsGm-1, and NK-1.1 antigens. The precursor cells of these BM cytotoxic cells are NK-1.1-; 2) transfer of BM cells from the NK-1.1(-) mice reconstituted the NK activity of irradiated, NK-depleted recipients. Lymphokine-activated killer cells could also be generated from spleens of these NK-1.1(-) mice. Therefore, the NK-1.1(-) mice were specifically depleted of mature cytotoxic NK cells, but not the NK-1.1- precursors of NK cells. This mouse model is valuable to study ontogeny and physiologic relevance of NK cells.     

Indomethacin therapy abrogates the prostaglandin-mediated suppression of natural killer activity in tumor-bearing mice and prevents tumor metastasis

We have shown earlier that a decline in splenic natural killer (NK) activity during the development of transplanted or spontaneous tumors in mice results from an inactivation of NK lineage cells, mediated by prostaglandins (primarily PGE2) secreted by NK suppressor cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage. In the present study we have used a C3H mouse mammary carcinoma model to examine whether this mechanism of NK suppression is conducive to tumor metastasis in vivo and whether a reversal of this suppression by a chronic indomethacin therapy can prevent metastatic spread from the primary tumor site. Three mammary tumor lines, all derived in our laboratory from a spontaneous C3H mammary tumor were employed: T-58 (uncloned parental line, having weak lung metastasizing ability from the subcutaneous site), C3 (a clone of T-58, showing high metastatic ability), and C10 (a nonmetastatic clone of T-58). Although the degree of NK susceptibility of these lines varied inversely with their metastatic potential, none was NK resistant. A chronic administration of indomethacin in the drinking water (14 micrograms/ml) to mice beginning on Day 4 after subcutaneous transplantation of 10(6) tumor cells resulted in a significant reduction in the growth rate of primary tumors in all hosts and led to a complete or nearly complete abrogation of lung metastasis in T-58- or C3-transplanted hosts examined at 1 month after tumor transplantation; C10-transplanted mice showed no metastasis in the control or the treated group. Concomitantly, there was a substantial restoration of splenic NK activity in all indomethacin-treated hosts. Plastic-adherent cells (greater than 95% macrophages) isolated from tumors growing in control mice, when coincubated for 20 hr with normal splenic effector cells caused a suppression of NK activity, reversible in the presence of indomethacin (10(-5) M) in vitro. Similar cells recovered from the residual primary tumors in indomethacin-treated mice had no suppressor ability. Chemically pure PGE2 (at concentrations of 0.5 to 1 X 10(-6) M, but not 0.25 X 10(-6) to 10(-8) M) also caused a suppression of NK activity of normal splenic effector cells, when added during the 4-hr 51Cr-release assay or allowed to interact with effector cells alone for a 20-hr incubation period; a removal of the cell-free PGE2 in the latter case prior to the NK assay did not relieve the suppression.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)     

Mycoplasma pulmonis infection augments natural killer cell activity in mice

The goal of this study was to determine if experimental Mycoplasma pulmonis infection augmented splenic natural killer (NK) cell activity in mice. A 4 hour 51Cr-release in vitro assay using YAC-1 tumor target cells was employed to measure splenic NK cell activity in C57BL/6J mice infected intraperitoneally with M. pulmonis and in uninfected controls. Transient augmentation of the NK cells was observed, peaking at day 3 postinoculation (PI) and gradually returning to normal levels by day 10 PI. Selective depletion studies showed that the cells responsible for killing target cells were NK cells. They were nonadherent to nylon wool, not susceptible to Thy-1.2 antibody and susceptible to asialo GM1 ganglioside antibody. Inadvertent augmentation of the NK cell system due to M. pulmonis infection may complicate the interpretation of research data, especially in immunology and cancer studies.     

The role of hemagglutination and effect of exopolysaccharide production on bifidobacteria adhesion to Caco-2 cells in vitro

It is believed that an important criterion for a potential probiotic strain is that it is capable of adhering to mucosal surfaces in the human gastrointestinal tract. The purpose of this study was to investigate a possible relationship between exopolysaccharide production and adhesion to Caco-2 cells by Bifidobacterium breve A28 and Bifidobacterium bifidum A10. In a preselection process, the hemagglutination abilities of these bacteria were determined prior to undertaking adhesion studies. B. breve A28, which produces large amounts of EPS (97.00 ± 2.00 mg/l) and has good hemagglutination abilities (+3) was found to adhere strongly to Caco-2 cells. Under gastrointestinal conditions, the high EPS producing- B. breve A28 was found to have better viability and adhesion to Caco-2 cells than the low EPS producing- B. bifidum A10. Also, B. breve A28 was found to be more effective at inhibiting Escherichia coli ATCC 11229 than B. bifidum A10. This investigation showed that high EPS production and adhesion ability may be important in the selection of bifidobacteria as probiotic strains.

Prostaglandin-mediated inactivation of natural killer cells in the murine decidua

Previous studies from this laboratory have demonstrated a large influx of null lymphocytes into the murine decidua during pregnancy. We had also shown that trophoblast cells of the murine placenta bear target structures recognized by NK cells. Since NK lineage cells belong to the null category of lymphocytes, we examined whether cells of this lineage appear in the murine decidua, and if so, whether their activity is locally regulated by NK suppressor cells. We further investigated the identity of the suppressor cells as well as their suppressor products. NK lineage cells, irrespective of their activation status, were identified morphologically in radioautographic preparations as the non-T, non-B (null) lymphocytes capable of binding YAC-1 lymphoma targets. NK activity of nucleated cells was measured with a 4-hr 51Cr-release assay against labeled YAC-1 targets. Studies with outbred CD1 mice, and to a smaller extent, inbred CBA mice revealed that the incidence of NK lineage cells remained fairly constant within the decidua throughout pregnancy, but their activity decreased steadily to negligible levels by Day 12-14 of gestation. This was found to result from an inactivation caused by NK-suppressor cells in the decidua. A mixing of Ficoll-Paque-separated nucleated cells of the decidua with normal splenic effector cells (at 1:1 ratio) led to a suppression of their NK activity tested immediately or after a 20-hr coculture. This suppression was MHC unrestricted. Suppressor cells were identified both in plastic nonadherent fraction highly enriched for typical decidual cells as well as in the plastic adherent fraction containing decidual cells and macrophages. Addition of indomethacin (10(-5) M), an inhibitor of prostaglandin synthesis, or anti PGE2 antibody, revived the NK activity in the mixed population, as well as in the decidua, suggesting a PGE2-mediated suppression. High levels of PGE2 were detectable in decidual cell supernatants with a sensitive radioimmunoassay. Addition of pure PGE2 (10(-7)-10(-6) M) but not PGF2 alpha (10(-6) M) during the NK assay or to the effector cells for a 20-hr period prior to the assay led to an inhibition of NK activity. These results reveal that NK cells appearing in the murine decidua are progressively inactivated by PGE2 produced by decidual cells and decidual macrophages.     

Induction of calcium flux and enhancement of cytolytic activity in natural killer cells by cross-linking of the sheep erythrocyte binding protein (CD2) and the Fc-receptor (CD16)

Binding of the anti-cluster of differentiation (CD) 2 monoclonal antibody 9-1 causes an increase in the concentration of cytoplasmic-free calcium ([Ca2+]i) in cultured CD3-/CD16+ natural killer (NK) cells. This response did not occur in cultured CD3+/CD16- cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Anti-CD16 antibodies could partially block the calcium response when NK cells were stimulated with intact antibody 9-1, and antigen-binding fragment F(ab')2 of antibody 9-1 did not produce a calcium response. Thus an interaction of the 9-1 antibody with CD16 Fc receptors was required for the functional effect. The dual interaction of antibody 9-1 with both CD2 and CD16 was demonstrated by comodulation experiments. The cytolytic activity of cultured NK cells was increased by antibody 9-1 but not by F(ab')2 fragments of antibody 9-1. The enhanced lytic activity was blocked by anti-CD16 antibody, anti-CD18 antibody, and anti-CD2 antibodies that do not block the binding of antibody 9-1. This pattern was distinct from antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity which was blocked only by the anti-CD16 antibody. Thus antibody 9-1 enhanced cytotoxicity by activating effector cells. There was no enhancement of lytic activity when F(ab')2 of antibody 9-1 were cross-linked with a polyclonal antiglobulin, even though [Ca2+]i was increased. These results show that induction of a [Ca2+]i response is not sufficient to enhance lytic activity in NK cells, and suggest that signals delivered through CD16 are necessary.
