CD26 is a T cell costimulatory molecule with dipeptidyl peptidase IV enzyme activity in its extracellular region. We have previously reported that the addition of soluble CD26 (sCD26) resulted in enhanced proliferation of peripheral blood T lymphocytes induced by the recall Ag, tetanus toxoid (TT). However, the mechanism involved in this immune enhancement has not yet been elucidated. In this paper, we demonstrate that the enhancing effect of sCD26 on TT-induced T cell proliferation occurred in the early stages of immune response. The cells directly affected by exogenously added sCD26 are the CD14-positive monocytes in the peripheral blood. Mannose-6 phosphate interfered with the uptake of sCD26 into monocytes, suggesting that mannose-6 phosphate/insulin-like growth factor II receptor plays a role in the transportation of sCD26 into monocytes. When sCD26 was added after Ag presentation had taken place, enhancement in TT-induced T cell proliferation was not observed. In addition, enhancement of TT-mediated T cell proliferation by sCD26 does not result from trimming of the MHC-bound peptide on the surface of monocytes. Importantly, we also showed that exogenously added sCD26 up-regulated the expression of the costimulatory molecule CD86 on monocytes through its dipeptidyl peptidase IV activity, and that this increased expression of CD86 was observed at both protein and mRNA level. Therefore, our findings suggest that sCD26 enhances T cell immune response to recall Ag via its direct effect on APCs. 相似文献

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma-associated gene 6 (NGX6; syn. transmembrane protein 8B, TMEM8B) is a recently identified tumor suppressor gene. The underlying mechanisms by which the gene inhibits tumor development are not completely known. To further understand the function of the gene's protein product NGX6, in the present study, we employed two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis to analyze the protein expression profiles of colon cancer HT-29 cells stably transfected with the gene NGX6. The differentially expressed proteins were selected and identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization coupled with time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry. The results showed that 12 proteins were down-regulated and 4 were up-regulated in NGX6-transfected HT-29 cells, compared with vector-transfected HT-29 cells. The MS results were verified by western blot. Bioinformatic analysis showed that these proteins are involved in cell proliferation, metastasis, apoptosis, cytoskeletal structure, metabolism, and signal transduction, suggesting that NGX6 may inhibit colon cancer through the regulation of these biological processes. 相似文献
