Cytochemical procedures were used to identify and quantitate granulocyte and macrophage precursors from mouse bone marrow cells in plasma clot cultures. Excellent clonal morphology and cellular enzyme activity were obtained when using plasma clots as the support matrix and buffered formalin acetone as the fixative. For cytochemical identification, naphthol AS acetate esterase staining was used for macrophages and peroxidase for granulocytes. These enzyme properties were confirmed by inactivation studies with a variety of inhibitors, group specific chemical modifications, and pinocytotic affinity for horseradish peroxidase. When mouse bone marrow cells (3 X 10(4) cells/dish) were cultured in plasma clots with human placental or L-cell-conditioned medium, 70 to 110 colonies were produced. Both pure granulocyte (CFU-g) and pure macrophage colonies (CFU-m) were observed, but approximately 5% of the total colony number was composed of mixed granulocyte/macrophage colonies (CFU-gm). The number of plated cells correlated strongly with the colony number (0.990 less than r less than 0.999). 相似文献

Mouse granulocyte and macrophage precursors were assayed in plasma clot and fibrin clot cultures, and the effect of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on colony formation was investigated. The number of granulocyte colonies (CFU-g) and clusters increased as the albumin concentration was increased and the number of macrophage colonies (CFU-m) and clusters concomitantly decreased. The albumin-mediated suppression of macrophage colony formation was overcome by the addition of more than 10% fetal bovine serum (FBS) to the plasma clot culture. The effect of BSA and fatty-acid-free BSA on colony-forming efficiency was also tested in fibrin clot cultures containing 10% FBS. Both BSA and fatty-acid-free BSA at a final concentration of 0.5-2% enhanced CFU-g colony formation, while both forms of BSA reduced the number of CFU-m colonies. However, neither BSA nor fatty-acid-free BSA had any effect on colony formation in FBS-free fibrin clot cultures, and only BSA enhanced colony formation when transferrin, linoleic acid, alpha-thioglycerol and dextran were added to the culture. The number of CFU-g (15.6 +/- 3.1) was higher in cultures containing BSA, transferrin, etc., than the number (9.8 +/- 2.5) in cultures without BSA and including transferrin, etc., than the number (9.8 +/- 2.5) in cultures without BSA and including transferrin, etc. (p less than 0.01). The number of CFU-m (32.0 +/- 6.8) in cultures containing BSA and the other four factors was lower than the number (72.2 +/- 5.6) in the culture without BSA (p less than 0.001).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Both IL-3 and IL-4 have multi-CSF activity on early marrow progenitors. We have examined the effect of IL-3 and IL-4 on the differentiation of NK cells from their marrow-derived precursors and have further examined the interactions of these cytokines with IL-2 and IL-1. We tested marrow which had been depleted of mature cells and of E rosette-positive cells (including NK cells) by treatment with soybean lectin and SRBC (SBA-E-BM). The cytolytic activities of the SBA-E-BM samples were tested in 51Cr-release assays after 7 days of liquid culture. K562 targets were used as a measure of NK activity and NK-resistant Daudi targets were used to measure lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell activity. Neither NK nor LAK activity was detectable in marrow cultured in medium without cytokines, or in medium containing IL-3, or IL-4 alone. Both of these cytokines were shown to be inhibitory to the IL-2-induced generation of NK and LAK activity from SBA-E-BM at concentrations as low as 1 U/ml. The inhibitory activity of both IL-3 and IL-4 was found to occur early in the marrow cultures, with little or no inhibitory effects seen if added 48 h after IL-2. IL-3 appeared to be specifically inhibitory to NK cell precursors since addition of IL-3 to cultures of PBMC did not inhibit IL-2-induced lytic activities. In contrast, IL-4 was equally inhibitory to the activation of marrow and peripheral blood NK cells by IL-2. Mixing experiments demonstrated that the reduced lytic activity in IL-3 or IL-4 containing marrow cultures were not due to suppression of the NK effectors, nor could marrow cultured in IL-3 or IL-4 serve as targets for IL-2-activated NK cells. Phenotype analysis of the lymphoid cells in marrow cultures containing IL-2 combined with IL-3 or IL-4 revealed fewer cells expressing Leu-11 (CD16), or Leu-19 (CD56) and fewer CD16, CD56 coexpressing cells compared with marrow cultured in medium containing IL-2 alone. The inhibitory activity of IL-4, but not IL-3, could be partially reversed if IL-1 was added to the cultures, suggesting that IL-1 and IL-4 have opposing activities on NK cells responsiveness to IL-2. These interactions between cytokines might be important in the regulation of NK cell differentiation and on the functional activity of mature NK cells. 相似文献

Suppression of human monocyte function against Candida albicans by autologous IL-2-induced lymphokine-activated killer cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
S Wei D Serbousek S McMillen D K Blanchard J Y Djeu 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1991,146(1):337-342
We have previously reported that IL-2-induced lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells have the capacity to lyse autologous and allogeneic monocytes. To understand the biologic significance of this interaction, we investigated the function of human monocytes against the opportunistic pathogen, Candida albicans, subsequent to a short exposure to autologous LAK cells. A highly sensitive radiolabel assay, which makes use of the incorporation of [3H]glucose into residual Candida after their incubation with monocytes, was developed to measure antifungal activity. Cultured monocytes, after 2 to 6 h exposure to LAK cells, were found to be substantially suppressed in their ability to control fungal growth. Moreover, monocytes cultured in the presence of granulocyte/macrophage (GM)-CSF or IL-3, were even more suppressed in function after a short incubation with LAK cells. The effect of GM-CSF was both time and dose dependent, with peak susceptibility induced after 4 days of culture with as little as 10 U/ml of the cytokine. These GM-CSF-cultured monocytes, however, were relatively resistant to inhibition by freshly isolated large granular lymphocytic NK cells. Therefore, IL-2 induces in large granular lymphocytic cells the capacity to inhibit monocyte function. In contrast to GM-CSF and IL-3, IFN-gamma was found to have a protective effect on monocytes, because monocytes cultured 4 days in IFN-gamma were not significantly inhibited by LAK cells. These results indicate that LAK cells may be involved in regulation of monocyte function and suggest that the state of differentiation induced by different cytokines may dictate the level of control of the monocytes by LAK cells. 相似文献

Because benzidine and its derivatives have possible carcinogenic activity, a safe method is needed to demonstrate endogenous peroxidase activity. Colonies derived from mouse bone marrow cells in plasma clot culture were classified as granulocyte (CFU-g) or macrophage (CFU-m) precursors by peroxidase and naphthol AS acetate (NASA) esterase staining, respectively. Endogenous peroxidase activity was measured using benzidine or p-phenylenediazine-pyrocatechol (PPD-PC). The effectiveness of peroxidase staining with both reagents was evaluated under several conditions, and the enzyme property was confirmed by inactivation with a variety of inhibitors. The level of peroxidase activity did not differ significantly between PPD-PC and benzidine. Colony number and number of cultured cells were strongly correlated (P greater than 0.983). We conclude that PPD-PC safely demonstrates peroxidase activity in cultured cells and is as accurate, reliable, and efficient as benzidine. 相似文献

Lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity has been proposed to functionally differ from natural killer (NK) activity largely on the basis of a broader target cell spectrum and different kinetics of response to interleukin 2 (IL 2). Similarly, it has been proposed that the precursor cells for LAK activity are phenotypically distinct from NK cells. In most precursor studies, phenotype comparisons have been made between fresh NK cells and LAK cells which have been generated by 3 to 5 days of culture in IL 2. In the present study, we utilized positive selection with monoclonal antibodies to characterize the surface phenotype of precursor cells which give rise to rIL 2-augmented NK activity within 24 hr and to classically generated LAK activity which appears after 3 to 5 days of culture in rIL 2. The results demonstrated that highly purified (93 to 95%) Lyt-2+ or L3T4+ T lymphocytes were unable to generate appreciable amounts of either augmented NK activity or LAK activity when cultured with rIL 2, whereas the highly purified (98%) Lyt-2-, L3T4-, asialo GM1+ lymphocyte subset gave rise to both augmented NK and LAK activities. These findings demonstrate that both augmented NK and LAK activities can arise from precursors expressing the same phenotype. Overall, the results suggest that NK cells in mouse spleen constitute a major precursor component for the generation of LAK activity from that organ. 相似文献

Inhibition of lymphokine-activated killer cell-mediated cytotoxicity by phorbol ester 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

As previously reported, the culture of mouse spleen cells in the presence of high amounts of human rIL-2 for 4 days caused proliferation and generation of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells, which could lyse a variety of tumor cells. However, an addition of PMA to the culture resulted in a striking inhibition of the generation of LAK cells. In contrast, IL-2-induced cell proliferation, IL-2R expression, and LFA-1 expression were enhanced by the addition of PMA. Kinetic studies revealed that the addition of PMA during the final 24 h, but not 4 h, of the culture was sufficient to inhibit the generation of LAK cells. The same inhibition of LAK activity was observed when 4-day cultured LAK cells were pretreated with PMA for over 12 h before cytotoxicity assay. Flow cytometry analysis showed that PMA pretreatment had no effect on the binding of LAK cells to target cells. PMA pretreatment of LAK cells caused total disappearance of protein kinase C (PKC) activity from LAK cells concomitant with the loss of LAK activity. However, PMA-pretreated LAK cells cultured for another 24 h in the absence of PMA revealed levels of PKC activity and cytotoxicity identical with untreated LAK cells. These results strongly suggest that PMA-induced down-regulation of LAK cell-mediated cytotoxicity is due to the inactivation of PKC-dependent transduction systems that are essential post LAK cell-target cell binding. 相似文献

We have previously shown that murine bone marrow cells cultured with interleukin 2 (IL-2) produce interferon-alpha/beta (MuIFN-alpha/beta) and that IFN-alpha/beta can suppress in vitro granulocyte-macrophage colony-forming cell formation (GM-CFC). In this study, IL-2 was directly assessed for its ability to inhibit in vitro granulocyte and/or macrophage colony-forming cell formation (GM-CFC/M-CFC). C57BL/6 bone marrow cells were cultured with different colony-stimulating factors (CSF), i.e., partially purified macrophage-CSF (M-CSF) or recombinant granulocyte and macrophage CSF (GM-CSF) in the presence or absence of different IL-2 preparations. Partially purified mouse IL-2 or recombinant human or mouse IL-2 (rHuIL-2 and rMuIL-2) totally inhibit GM-CFC and M-CFC formation at 7 days of culture. The level of inhibition mediated by IL-2 was concentration-dependent, with as little as 1 U/ml giving total inhibition of colony formation. The ability of IL-2 to inhibit colony formation was completely abolished by treatment with antisera to IL-2. MuIFN-alpha/beta and MuIFN-gamma appeared to play no role in IL-2-induced myelo-suppression in that addition of antisera to these IFN failed to block IL-2-induced suppression. Myelo-suppression mediated by IL-2 was independent of the concentration of CSF used in the bone marrow cultures. Suppression was also not dependent upon the initial presence of T cells or natural killer (NK) cells. Bone marrow cells depleted of Thy-1+, Lyt-1+, Lyt-2+, NK-1.1+, Asialo GM1+, or Qa-5+ cells were as susceptible to IL-2 induced suppression as untreated or complement-treated bone marrow cells. These results suggest that IL-2 may play an important role in regulating different aspects of hematopoiesis. 相似文献

Human rIL-4 was studied for its capacity to induce lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cell activity. In contrast to IL-2, IL-4 was not able to induce LAK cell activity in cell cultures derived from peripheral blood. IL-4 added simultaneously with IL-2 to such cultures suppressed IL-2-induced LAK cell activity measured against Daudi and the melanoma cell line MEWO in a dose-dependent way. IL-4 also inhibited the induction of LAK cell activity in CD2+, CD3-, CD4-, CD8- cells, suggesting that IL-4 acts directly on LAK precursor cells. IL-4 added 24 h after the addition of IL-2 failed to inhibit the generation of LAK cell activity. Cytotoxic activity of various types of NK cell clones was not affected after incubation in IL-4 for 3 days, indicating that IL-4 does not affect the activity of already committed killer cells. No significant differences were observed in the percentages of Tac+, NKH-1+ and CD16+ cells after culturing PBL in IL-2, IL-4 or combinations of IL-2 and IL-4 for 3 days. IL-4 also inhibited the activation of non-specific cytotoxic activity in MLC, as measured against K-562 and MEWO cells. In contrast, the Ag-specific CTL activity against the stimulator cells was augmented by IL-4. Collectively, these data indicate that IL-4 prevents the activation of LAK cell precursors by IL-2, but does not inhibit the generation of Ag-specific CTL. 相似文献

Human lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells: identification of two types of effector cells 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
We analyzed the antigenic phenotype of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) effector cells. Human blood lymphocytes were cultured for 3 days with 100 U/ml recombinant interleukin 2 (rIL 2), subpopulations isolated with monoclonal antibodies and a fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) and assayed for cytotoxic activity against 51chromium labeled noncultured melanoma tumor cells. Initial experiments compared the LAK effector function of CD5+ T lymphocytes vs CD5- cells (predominantly CD16+ NK cells). The mean percent specific release at a 10:1 effector:target (E:T) ratio was 25% +/- 16 for CD5- cells, 10% +/- 6 for CD5+ cells, and 22% +/- 9 for unsorted cells. In contrast, when lymphocyte subpopulations were isolated before rIL 2 culture (LAK precursors), CD5- cells but not CD5+ cells developed LAK activity (28% +/- 12 vs 1% +/- 1, mean percent specific release, 10:1 E:T ratio), confirming our previous results showing that only CD16+ cells were LAK precursors. The discrepancy between LAK effector and precursor phenotypes suggested that LAK precursors acquired CD5 determinants during rIL 2 culture; however, double label immunofluorescence of rIL 2 cultured CD16+ cells showed that this was not the case. The data suggested that in the presence of other cell types, some T lymphocytes may develop LAK activity, but purified blood T lymphocytes do not develop LAK function when cultured with rIL 2 alone. We also analyzed LAK effector function in lymphocyte subpopulations defined by CD4 and CD8 antigens. The data showed that lymphocytes with a low density expression of CD8 and no expression of CD4 were enriched for LAK effector cells, whereas CD4+ and CD8- had less activity than unsorted cells. Lymphocytes with a high density expression of CD8 had activity similar to unsorted cells. We also assessed the contribution of Leu-7 (HNK-1) granular lymphocytes to LAK effector function. After culture with IL 2, lymphocytes were depleted of Leu-7+ cells by antibody and complement treatment and then were sorted into CD5+ and CD5- fractions. The cytotoxic activity of Leu-7-CD5+ cells was a mean 5% +/- 5 vs a mean 14% +/- 8 for the total CD5+ population (20:1 E:T ratio). The activity of Leu-7- CD5- was slightly less than the total CD5- fraction (21% +/- 9 vs 28% +/- 14, 10:1 E:T ratio). In conclusion, LAK effector function was highest in non-T cell (CD5- CD16+) populations and some activity was also present in T cell populations (CD5+ and predominantly Leu-7+). 相似文献

In a previous study, we demonstrated that human natural killer cells (NK) lost their lytic activity after interaction with a sensitive target. The loss of NK activity also led to the loss of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC), prompting us to postulate that NK and ADCC activities may result from a common lytic mechanism. In this study, we examined whether nonadherent lymphocytes cultured 7 days in the presence of IL-2 (lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells) could also be inactivated and, subsequently, be reactivated in the presence of IL-2. We tested three populations of effector cells (EC): cells isolated from freshly drawn blood and tested immediately, cells cultured with IL-2 for 18 hr, and LAK cells. Once they have interacted with K562, all three cell populations lost greater than 90% of their NK-like lytic activity (NK-CMC) but only 80% of ADCC. However, when we treated the three cell types with antibody-coated K562, they lost 90-99% of NK-CMC and 90-97% of ADCC. In these inactivated effector cells we also observed: (i) a reduction in membrane expression of C-reactive protein; and (ii) a decrease in the expression of Leu-11a when EC were inactivated with antibody-coated K562. The loss of lytic activity against K562 was accompanied by a concomitant loss of activity against other LAK-sensitive targets as well as against antibody-coated targets (ADCC). In competitive inhibition experiments the inactivated effector cells failed to inhibit normal NK-CMC and ADCC activities mediated by fresh NK cells. As we have shown previously, this target-directed inactivation was not due to cell death or to lack of conjugate formation. Inactivated LAK cells regained their lytic potential when cultured with IL-2 and this effect was time dependent. By 72 hr, LAK cells inactivated with K562 regained 99% NK-CMC and 82% ADCC, whereas LAK cells inactivated with antibody-coated K562 regained only 80% NK-CMC and 70% ADCC. When we treated the effector cells with emetine, a potent inhibitor of protein synthesis, we could still inactivate the effector cells with K562 and with antibody-coated K562 but could not reactivate them with IL-2. 相似文献

The lineage of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells is poorly understood. To examine the relationship between LAK and natural killer (NK) cells we utilized two congenitally immunodeficient mice, namely severe combined immunodeficient (scid) and athymic (nude) mice that lack T cells but have normal NK cells. LAK activity was evaluated by the ability to lyze NK-resistant P815 cells. When cultured with human recombinant interleukin 2, splenocytes of scid and nude mice could generate LAK activity at levels comparable to or more than those of normal C.B-17 mice. LAK effector cells in these immunodeficient mice as well as normal mice had the phenotype resembling that of NK cells with asialo-GM1 (aGM1) expression. In vivo treatment with anti-aGM1 antiserum completely abolished the induction of LAK activity from splenocytes of normal mice. In contrast, LAK activity in splenocytes of scid and nude mice was still demonstrable even after this treatment, indicating that most LAK precursors in both mice were cells without aGM1 antigen. The aGM1- progenitors for LAK activity, probably in common with NK progenitors, appeared to be more expanded in scid and nude mice than in normal mice. The use of such congenitally immunodeficient mice should be helpful in studying the differentiation step of LAK as well as NK cells from their precursors. 相似文献

Summary We developed a monoclonal antibody (mAb) 211, which recognizes the precursors in peripheral blood of lymphokine-activated killer cells (LAK) induced by recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2). In conjunction with complement mAb 211 also eliminates natural killer cells (NK) and a majority of the cytotoxic T lymphocytes. B cells and monocytes do not express the 211 antigen. Since mAb 211 recognized such a large percentage of peripheral blood lymphocytes we examined which 211+ subpopulation was the predominant precursor of rIL-2-induced LAK cells using two-color fluoresence-activated cell sorting (fluorescein-conjugated 211 mAb plus phycoerythrin-CD11b). This method identified the 211+/ CD11b+ population as the predominant phenotype of the rIL-2-induced LAK precursor. In addition, we directly compared the phenotype of the LAK precursor induced by delectinated T-cell growth factor (TCGF) to that induced by rIL-2. The 211-depleted population, which was devoid of NK cells and LAK precursors (inducible by rIL-2), was capable of generating LAK activity when TCGF was used as the source of lymphokine. LAK cells induced by TCGF from the 211-depleted population lysed a fresh sarcoma and an NK-resistant cultured melanoma tumor target but not the Daudi cell line, which was lysed by rIL-2-induced LAK cells. Lymphoid subpopulations, depleted using NKH1a mAb, behaved similarly, generating high levels of lysis against the two solid tumor targets when cultured with TCGF but not with rIL-2. CD 3-depleted populations showed enrichment for LAK precursors using either rIL-2 or TCGF. These results indicate that while rIL-2-induced LAK precursors cannot be separated from cells with NK activity, TCGF-induced LAK cells can be generated from populations of peripheral blood mononuclear cells without NK activity. 相似文献

Inhibition of lymphokine-activated killer activity during HIV infection: role of HIV-1 gp41 synthetic peptides 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity was analyzed in 31 human immune deficiency virus 1 (HIV-1)-infected patients. It was found to be reduced in all groups of patients, being more pronounced in those with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) and AIDS-related complex compared to HIV-1-seropositive, asymptomatic individuals. Only high doses of interleukin-2 were able to restore LAK activity comparable to that of normal controls. In addition, HIV-1 gp41 synthetic peptide sequences 735-752 and 846-860 were able to significantly inhibit normal LAK activity at all the effector:target ratios tested. HIV-1-positive serum and the supernatant fluids from cultured peripheral-blood mononuclear cells from HIV-1-infected patients had the same inhibitory effect on normal LAK activity. These data provide evidence that (1) LAK activity appears to be impaired during the course of HIV-1 infection and (2) HIV-1-positive serum and HIV-1 components could exert a profound inhibition of this functional activity. 相似文献

IL-4 regulates IL-2 induction of lymphokine-activated killer activity from human lymphocytes 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

IL-4 is a pluripotent lymphokine acting on various cell types. We investigated the role of human IL-4 on the generation of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) activity. Human IL-4 alone did not induce LAK activity and inhibited IL-2 induction of LAK activity from unstimulated PBMC, peripheral blood null cells, spleen cells, and lymph node cells in a dose-dependent manner. IL-4 also inhibited several phenomena induced by IL-2 such as cell proliferation, augmentation of NK activity, increase of Leu-19+ cells, and expression of IL-2R(p55) on either CD3+ or Leu-19+ cells. IL-4, however, augmented cell proliferation with other T cell mitogens including PHA, Con A, PMA, or allo-MHC Ag with or without IL-2. In contrast to unstimulated cells, IL-4 alone induced marked cell proliferation and LAK activity as well as Leu-19+ cells from in vitro IL-2 preactivated PBMC or null cells, and did not inhibit IL-2 induced cell proliferation, LAK activity, Leu-19+ cells and IL-2R(p55) expression, but rather augmented them with low doses of IL-2. Although IL-4 alone induced LAK activity from peripheral blood of some patients previously given IL-2, IL-4 inhibited in vitro LAK generation with IL-2 from these cells in most cases. Therefore, IL-4 appears to directly inhibit the IL-2 activation pathway via IL-2R(p70) and prevent resting LAK precursors from proliferating and differentiating into final effector cells. However, once cells were sufficiently preactivated by IL-2, IL-4 induced LAK activity and did not inhibit IL-2 activation of these cells. These data suggest an immunoregulatory role of IL-4 on human null cells and T cells. 相似文献

Summary We have shown that depletion of monocytes from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) byl-phenylalanine methyl ester (PheOMe) enhanced lymphokine-activated killer cell (LAK) generation by recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) at high cell density. In this study, we have investigated the mechanism of action of PheOMe on LAK activation by using trypsin, chymotrypsin, tosylphenylalaninechloromethanol (TPCK, a chymotrypsin inhibitor), tosyl-l-lysinechloromethane (TLCK, a trypsin inhibitor), phenylalaninol (PheOH), and benzamidine. PBMC were treated with 1–5 mM PheOMe for 40 min at room temperature in combination with the various agents, washed and assessed for their effects on natural killer (NK) activity against K562 cells and monocyte depletion. The treated cells were then cultured with or without rIL-2 for 3 days. LAK cytotoxicity was assayed against51Cr-labeled K562 and Raji tumor target cells. TPCK at 10 µg/ml partially inhibited depletion of monocytes by PheOMe. TLCK did not prevent depletion of monocytes nor inhibition of NK activity induced by PheOMe. TPCK and TLCK inhibited NK activity by themselves. TPCK but not TLCK inhibited rIL-2 induction of LAK cells. On the other hand, PheOH and benzamidine (analogs of PheOMe) lacked any effect on monocyte depletion but abrogated the inhibitory effect of PheOMe on NK activity. They had no effect on rIL-2 activation of LAK activity enhanced by PheOMe. Trypsin potentiated the inhibitory effect of PheOMe on NK activity and monocyte depletion. Trypsin partially inhibited IL-2 activation of LAK activity enhanced by PheOMe. Chymotrypsin had little effect on NK activity but prevented the inhibitory effect of PheOMe on NK activity. It had little effect on monocyte depletion induced by PheOMe. PheOMe was hydrolysed by monocytes and chymotrypsin to Phe and methanol as determined by HPLC. TPCK inhibited hydrolysis of PheOMe by monocytes. Our data suggest that the effects of PheOMe on monocytes, NK cells and LAK activation involve protease activities of monocytes. 相似文献

Lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells. VI. NK1.1+, CD3+ LAK effectors are derived from CD4-, CD8-, NK1.1- precursors. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Normal murine splenocytes cultured with IL2 for 6, but not 3, days contained an NK1.1+, CD3+ lytically active subset. These lymphocytes were not derived from NK1.1+ precursors since NK1.1+ cells, purified by flow cytometry, failed to express CD3, as determined by the 145-2C11 mAb, on their surface even after culture with IL2 for 6 days. Instead, the precursors of the NK1.1+, CD3+ effectors were contained in a B cell-depleted CD4-, CD8-, NK1.1- splenic subset. Freshly obtained CD4-, CD8-, NK1.1- splenocytes were mostly CD3+, CD5+, B220-, had no spontaneous lytic activity against YAC-1, and were unable to mediate anti-CD3 directed lysis against FcR-bearing target cells. Culture of the CD4-, CD8-, NK1.1- splenocytes with IL2, for 6 days, resulted in the development of NK1.1+, CD3+, B220+ effectors 40% of which were CD5dim and 20-25% of which expressed TCR-V beta 8 as determined by the F23.1 mAb. The acquisition of NK1.1, B220, and lytic activity by this triple-negative subset was readily inhibited by cyclosporine A (CSA). On the other hand, CSA had no effect on the acquisition of B220 or lytic activity by NK1.1+ precursors obtained by flow cytometry sorting. Moreover, all of the NK1.1+ cells generated by IL2 culture of splenocytes obtained from mice depleted of NK1.1+ lymphocytes (by in vivo injection of anti-NK1.1 mAb) coexpressed CD3 on their surface and were thus distinct from classical NK cells. These findings demonstrate that splenic NK cells do not express or acquire CD3; that the NK1.1+, CD3+ LAK effectors are derived from an NK1.1- precursor; and that CSA is exquisitely selective in its inhibitory effect on LAK generation. 相似文献

The effect of adenosine and its analogues on the cytotoxic activity of IL-2-activated NK cells was investigated. Adenosine is an endogenous ligand for four different adenosine receptor (AdoR) subtypes (AdoRA1, AdoRA2A, AdoRA2B, and AdoRA3). Increased concentrations of adenosine were found in ascites of MethA sarcoma or in culture medium of 3LL Lewis lung carcinoma growing under hypoxic conditions. We hypothesize that intratumor adenosine impairs the ability of lymphokine-activated killer (LAK) cells to kill tumor cells. The effect of AdoR engagement on LAK cells cytotoxic activity was analyzed using AdoR agonists and antagonists as well as LAK cells generated from AdoR knockout mice. Adenosine and its analogues efficiently inhibited the cytotoxic activity of LAK cells. CGS21680 (AdoRA2A agonist) and 5-N-ethylcarboxamide adenosine (NECA) (AdoRA2A/ADoRA2B agonist) inhibited LAK cell cytotoxicity in parallel with their ability to increase cAMP production. The inhibitory effects of stable adenosine analog 2-chloroadenosine (CADO) and AdoRA2 agonists were blocked by AdoRA2 antagonist ZM 241385. Adenosine and its analogues impair LAK cell function by interfering with both perforin-mediated and Fas ligand-mediated killing pathways. Studies with LAK cells generated from AdoRA1-/- and AdoRA3-/- mice ruled out any involvement of these AdoRs in the inhibitory effects of adenosine. LAK cells with genetically disrupted AdoRA2A were resistant to the inhibitory effects of adenosine, CADO and NECA. However, with extremely high concentrations of CADO or NECA, mild inhibition of LAK cytotoxicity was observed that was probably mediated via AdoRA2B signaling. Thus, by using pharmacological and genetic blockage of AdoRs, our results clearly indicate the prime importance of cAMP elevating AdoR2A in the inhibitory effect of adenosine on LAK cell cytotoxicity. The elevated intratumor levels of adenosine might inhibit the antitumor effects of activated NK cells. 相似文献

Granulocytic extracts (GE) of different sources, presumably containing the granulocytic chalone, were prepared in different laboratories and purified to some extent. They specifically inhibited the formation of granulocyte and macrophage colonies in agar. The effect was however most pronounced on granulocyte and mixed granulocyte-macrophage colonies, and less on macrophage types. Addition of GE to bone marrow cells at the time of plating in agar, as well as short incubation of the cells together with GE prior to plating, inhibited subsequent colony formation. The inhibitory effect could easily be reversed by washing the cells with an excess of medium prior to plating during the first hour of preincubation, but not after five hours. Increasing the doses of colony stimulating activity (CSA) (at low doses of GE) released the inhibitory effect, but not at high doses of GE. The inhibitory effect of GE on colony formation was dose dependent down to almost 100% inhibition. No apparent cytotoxic effect of GE on bone marrow cells could be found and lymphoblastic cells were not inhibited. Extracts containing a specific inhibitor of erythropoiesis (EIF) stimulated myelopoietic colony formation in agar. 相似文献
