Murine leukemia viruses (MuLVs) induce leukemias and lymphomas in mice. We have used fluorescence-activated cell sorter analysis to determine the hematopoietic phenotypes of tumor cells induced by a number of MuLVs. Tumor cells induced by ecotropic Moloney, amphotropic 4070A, and 10A1 MuLVs and by two chimeric MuLVs, Mo(4070A) and Mo(10A1), were examined with antibodies to 13 lineage-specific cell surface markers found on myeloid cell, T-cell, and B-cell lineages. The chimeric Mo(4070A) and Mo(10A1) MuLVs, consisting of Moloney MuLV with the carboxy half of the Pol region and nearly all of the Env region of 4070A and 10A1, respectively, were constructed to examine the possible influence of these sequences on Moloney MuLV-induced tumor cell phenotypes. In some instances, these phenotypic analyses were supplemented by Southern blot analysis for lymphoid cell-specific genomic DNA rearrangements at the immunoglobulin heavy-chain, the T-cell receptor gamma, and the T-cell receptor beta loci. The results of our analysis showed that Moloney MuLV, 4070A, Mo(4070A), and Mo(10A1) induced mostly T-cell tumors. Moloney MuLV and Mo(4070A) induced a wide variety of T-cell phenotypes, ranging from immature to mature phenotypes, while 4070A induced mostly prothymocyte and double-negative (CD4- CD8-) T-cell tumors. The tumor phenotypes obtained with 10A1 and Mo(10A1) were each less variable than those obtained with the other MuLVs tested. 10A1 uniformly induced a tumor consisting of lineage marker-negative cells that lack lymphoid cell-specific DNA rearrangements and histologically appear to be early undifferentiated erythroid cell-like precursors. The Mo(10A1) chimera consistently induced an intermediate T-cell tumor. The chimeric constructions demonstrated that while 4070A 3' pol and env sequences apparently did not influence the observed tumor cell phenotypes, the 10A1 half of pol and env had a strong effect on the phenotypes induced by Mo(10A1) that resulted in a phenotypic consistency not seen with other viruses. This result implicates 10A1 env in an active role in the tumorigenic process. 相似文献

Ia+ immature malignant monocyte clones were isolated from retrovirus-induced lymphomas. These lymphomas contained a predominant population of Ly-1+ T cells. In order to explain this anomaly, the functional capacity of one of these clones, ORA I-a, was assessed. The results indicated that ORA I-a could present protein antigen to syngeneic and semisyngeneic antigen-primed lymph node T cells. Allogeneic stimulation, however, could not be induced. Furthermore, ORA I-a-conditioned medium could augment mitogen-dependent and -independent thymocyte proliferation. These studies suggest that the unique populations of malignant antigen-presenting cells can interact with distinct T-cell subpopulations. Functional analyses of these tumor cell lines may thus be useful in elucidating some of the cellular interactions which occur during the course of immunity. 相似文献

Differential kinetics of antigen-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses in the regression of retrovirus-induced sarcomas 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Schepers K Toebes M Sotthewes G Vyth-Dreese FA Dellemijn TA Melief CJ Ossendorp F Schumacher TN 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2002,169(6):3191-3199
Despite the accepted role for CD4+ T cells in immune control, little is known about the development of Ag-specific CD4+ T cell immunity upon primary infection. Here we use MHC class II tetramer technology to directly visualize the Ag-specific CD4+ T cell response upon infection of mice with Moloney murine sarcoma and leukemia virus complex (MoMSV). Significant numbers of Ag-specific CD4+ T cells are detected both in lymphoid organs and in retrovirus-induced lesions early during infection, and they express the 1B11-reactive activation-induced isoform of CD43 that was recently shown to define effector CD8+ T cell populations. Comparison of the kinetics of the MoMSV-specific CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses reveals a pronounced shift toward CD8+ T cell immunity at the site of MoMSV infection during progression of the immune response. Consistent with an important early role of Ag-specific CD4+ T cell immunity during MoMSV infection, CD4+ T cells contribute to the generation of virus-specific CD8+ T cell immunity within the lymphoid organs and are required to promote an inflammatory environment within the virus-infected tissue. 相似文献

3611 MSV, a raf oncogene-transducing murine retrovirus, induced fibrosarcomas in newborn mice after a latency of 4 to 8 weeks. In contrast, newly constructed recombinant murine retroviruses carrying the myc oncogene did not induce tumors before greater than or equal to 9 weeks. A combination of both oncogenes in an infectious murine retrovirus induced hematopoietic neoplasms in addition to less prominent fibrosarcomas and pancreatic acinar dysplasia 1 to 3 weeks after inoculation. The hematological neoplasms consisted of immunoblastic lymphomas of T- and B-lineage cells and erythroblastosis. Cell lines from these tumors could be readily established in culture in regular medium, whereas culture of cells from raf oncogene-induced tumors required the addition of interleukin 3. In parallel to the synergistic action of both oncogenes on hematopoietic cells in vivo, we found that raf oncogene-induced transformation of fibroblast cell lines in culture was enhanced by the addition of myc, which by itself did not morphologically transform these permanent cell lines. We conclude that concomitant expression of raf and myc oncogenes in hematopoietic cells and fibroblastic cell lines enhances their respective transforming activities. 相似文献

Clonal selections occurring during the progression of Moloney murine leukemia virus (MuLV)-induced T-cell lymphomas in mice were examined in primary and transplanted tumors by monitoring various molecular markers: proviral integration patterns, MuLV insertions near c-myc and pim-1, and rearrangements of the immunoglobulin heavy chain and beta-chain T-cell receptor genes. The results were as follows. Moloney MuLV frequently induced oligoclonal tumors with proviral insertions near c-myc or pim-1 in the independent clones. Moloney MuLV acted as a highly efficient insertional mutagen, able to activate different (putative) oncogenes in one cell lineage. Clonal selections during tumor progression were frequently marked by the acquisition of new proviral integrations. Independent tumor cell clones exhibited a homing preference upon transplantation in syngeneic hosts and were differently affected by the route of transplantation. 相似文献

Hematopoietic cancer stem cells preserve cellular hierarchy in a manner similar to normal stem cells, yet the underlying regulatory mechanisms are poorly understood. It is known that both normal and malignant stem/progenitor cells express CD34. Here, we demonstrate that several cell lines (HL-60, U266) derived from hematopoietic malignancies contain not only CD34(-) but also CD34(+) subpopulations. The CD34(+) cells displayed a stem/progenitor-like phenotype since, in contrast to CD34(-) cells, they frequently underwent cellular division and rapidly formed colonies in methylcellulose-based medium. Strikingly, a constant fraction of the CD34(+) and CD34(-) cell subpopulations, when separated, rapidly switched their phenotype. Consequently, both separated fractions could generate tumors in immunocompromised NOD/LtSz-scid/scid mice. Cultures in vitro showed that the proportion of CD34(+) stem/progenitor-like cells in the population was decreased by cell-cell contact and increased by soluble factors secreted by the cells. Using cytokine arrays, we identified some of these factors, notably thymopoietin that was able to increase the proportion of CD34(+) cells and overall colony-forming capacity in tested cell lines. This action of thymopoietin was conserved in mononuclear cells from bone marrow. Therefore, we propose that hematopoietic cancer cell lines containing subpopulations of CD34(+) cells can provide an in vitro model for studies of cancer stem/progenitor cells. 相似文献

A key feature of the pathogenesis of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection is the gradual loss of CD4-positive T cells. A number of gene therapy strategies have been designed with the intent of inhibiting HIV replication in mature T cells. As T cells are products of hematolymphoid differentiation, insertion of antiviral genes into hematopoietic stem cells could serve as a vehicle to confer long-term protection in progeny T cells derived from transduced stem cells. One such "cellular immunization" strategy utilizes the gene coding for the HIV-1 rev trans-dominant mutant protein RevM10 which has been demonstrated to inhibit HIV-1 replication in T-cell lines and in primary T cells. In this study, we used a Moloney murine leukemia virus-based retrovirus encoding a bicistronic message coexpressing RevM10 and the murine CD8-alpha' chain (Lyt2). This vector allows rapid selection of transgene-expressing cells as well as quantitation of transgene expression. We demonstrate that RevM10-transduced CD34-enriched hematopoietic progenitor-stem cells (HPSC) isolated from human umbilical cord blood or from granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized peripheral blood can give rise to mature thymocytes in the SCID-hu thymus/liver mouse model. The phenotypic distribution of HPSC-derived thymocytes is normal, and expression of the transgene can be detected by flow cytometric analysis. Moreover, we demonstrate that RevM10 can inhibit HIV replication in T cells derived from transduced HPSC after expansion in vitro. This is the first demonstration of anti-HIV efficacy in T cells derived from transduced human HPSC. 相似文献

Abelson leukemia virus (A-MuLV) is an oncogenic murine retrovirus whose genome contains sequences homologous to those of a normal cellular gene, c-abl. It has been demonstrated to cause rapid transformation of several cell types, including pre-B lymphocytes, macrophages, and fibroblasts. More recently, A-MuLV has been reported to induce thymic tumors in a mouse strain (C57BL/Ka) previously thought to be resistant to disease induction. We showed that the masses occurring after intrathymic injection of the virus were composed of lymphocytes of a previously described immature T-cell phenotype. This phenotype has been defined here by flow cytometry of 10 primary tumor samples stained with antibodies to several thymocyte differentiation antigens. Hybridization of DNAs from these tumors with v-abl, immunoglobulin mu, and T-cell antigen receptor beta-chain probes confirmed the T-lymphoid, polyclonal nature of the primary tumor cells. The primary tumors were malignant, as clearly shown by reinjection into Thy-congenic host animals. Further, four Thy- in vitro cell lines derived from three tumors differed from the majority of primary tumor cells and were similar to previously described A-MuLV-transformed pre-B cells. The consistent T-lymphoid phenotype exhibited by primary A-MuLV thymomas may represent one stage of normal thymocyte differentiation. 相似文献

Prostanoids play a major role in the primary tumor-induced inhibition of dendritic cell differentiation 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19

Production of immunosuppressive factors is one of the mechanisms by which tumors evade immunosurveillance. Soluble factors hampering dendritic cell (DC) development have recently been identified in culture supernatants derived from tumor cell lines. In this study, we investigated the presence of such factors in 24-h culture supernatants from freshly excised solid human tumors (colon, breast, renal cell carcinoma, and melanoma). While primary tumor-derived supernatant (TDSN) profoundly hampered the in vitro DC differentiation from CD14(+) plastic-adherent monocytes or CD34(+) precursors (based on morphology and CD1a/CD14 phenotype), the effects of tested tumor cell line-derived supernatants were minor. Cyclooxygenase (COX)-1- and COX-2-regulated prostanoids present in the primary TDSN were found to be solely responsible for the observed hampered differentiation of monocyte-derived DC (MoDC). In contrast, both prostanoids and IL-6 were found to contribute to the TDSN-induced inhibition of DC differentiation from CD34(+) precursor cells. While the addition of TDSN during differentiation interfered with the ability of CD34-derived DC to stimulate a primary allogeneic T cell response, it actually increased this ability of MoDC. These opposite effects were correlated to different effects of the TDSN on the expression levels of CD86 and HLA-DR on the DC from the different precursor origins. Although TDSN increased the T cell-stimulatory capacity of MoDC, TDSN inhibited the IL-12 production and increased the IL-10 production of MoDC, thus skewing them to a type-2 T cell-inducing phenotype. In conclusion, this study demonstrates that primary tumors negatively impact DC development and function through COX-1 and -2 regulated factors, whereas tumor-derived cell lines may lose this ability upon in vitro propagation. 相似文献

Human mesenchymal stem cells support megakaryocyte and pro-platelet formation from CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitor cells 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22
Megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombocytopoiesis result from the interactions between hematopoietic progenitor cells, humoral factors, and marrow stromal cells derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) or MSCs directly. MSCs are self-renewing marrow cells that provide progenitors for osteoblasts, adipocytes, chondrocytes, myocytes, and marrow stromal cells. MSCs are isolated from bone marrow aspirates and are expanded in adherent cell culture using an optimized media preparation. Culture-expanded human MSCs (hMSCs) express a variety of hematopoietic cytokines and growth factors and maintain long-term culture-initiating cells in long-term marrow culture with CD34(+) hematopoietic progenitor cells. Two lines of evidence suggest that hMSCs function in megakaryocyte development. First, hMSCs express messenger RNA for thrombopoietin, a primary regulator for megakaryocytopoiesis and thrombocytopoiesis. Second, adherent hMSC colonies in primary culture are often associated with hematopoietic cell clusters containing CD41(+) megakaryocytes. The physical association between hMSCs and megakaryocytes in marrow was confirmed by experiments in which hMSCs were copurified by immunoselection using an anti-CD41 antibody. To determine whether hMSCs can support megakaryocyte and platelet formation in vitro, we established a coculture system of hMSCs and CD34(+) cells in serum-free media without exogenous cytokines. These cocultures produced clusters of hematopoietic cells atop adherent MSCs. After 7 days, CD41(+) megakaryocyte clusters and pro-platelet networks were observed with pro-platelets increasing in the next 2 weeks. CD41(+) platelets were found in culture medium and expressed CD62P after thrombin treatment. These results suggest that MSCs residing within the megakaryocytic microenvironment in bone marrow provide key signals to stimulate megakaryocyte and platelet production from CD34(+) hematopoietic cells. 相似文献

Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) is a replication-competent, simple retrovirus that induces T-cell lymphomas when inoculated into neonatal mice. The tumor cells are typically derived from immature T cells. During preleukemic times, a marked decrease in thymic size is apparent in M-MuLV-inoculated mice. We previously demonstrated that this thymic regression is correlated with enhanced levels of thymocyte apoptosis (C. Bonzon and H. Fan, J. Virol. 73:2434-2441, 1999). In this study, we investigated the apoptotic state of M-MuLV-induced tumors. M-MuLV-induced tumors were screened for expression of the apoptotic proteins Fas and Bcl-2 by three-color flow cytometric analysis. Single-positive (SP; CD4(+) CD8(-) and CD4(-) CD8(+)) tumor cells generally displayed lower cell surface expression of Fas than SP thymocytes from uninoculated control mice. Double-positive (DP; CD4(+) CD8(+)) M-MuLV-induced tumor cells fell into two categories: those with normal high levels of Fas and those with low levels of Fas. Additionally, the vast majority of DP tumors showed elevated Bcl-2 levels. The DP tumor cells retaining normal/high Fas expression were capable of transducing an apoptotic signal upon anti-Fas engagement. In addition, DP and CD4(+) SP tumor populations displayed higher levels of Fas ligand than normal thymocytes with the same phenotypes. In contrast, CD8(+) SP and CD4(-) CD8(-) tumors did not show elevated Fas ligand expression. There was no significant correlation between Fas and Fas ligand expression in the DP tumors, suggesting that Fas Ligand expression was not the driving force behind Fas down-regulation. These results suggest that both the Fas death receptor and mitochondrial pathways of apoptotic death are active in M-MuLV-induced tumors and that they must be modulated to permit cell survival and tumor outgrowth. 相似文献

After immunization of B6 mice with the syngeneic retrovirus-induced T cell leukemia/lymphoma FBL-3, two major tumor-specific proliferative T cell clonotypes were derived. T cell clones derived from long-term lines propagated by in vitro culture with irradiated tumor cells and syngeneic spleen cells were exclusively of the Lyt-2+ phenotype. Such clones were cytolytic, retained their proliferative phenotype indefinitely when expanded by repeated cycles of reactivation and rest, and recognized a tumor-specific cell surface antigen in association with class I MHC molecules. This tumor cell antigen was not present on nontransformed virus-infected cells. Class II MHC-restricted MT4+ clones specific for the viral antigen gp70 were derived from lymph node T cells of FBL-3 tumor-immune mice only by in vitro culture with purified Friend virus in the presence of syngeneic splenic APC. Once derived, however, such clones could be stimulated in the presence of FBL-3 tumor cells and syngeneic spleen cells, demonstrating the reprocessing of tumor-derived gp70 antigen by APC in the spleen cell population. In contrast, no reprocessing of the tumor cell surface antigen by splenic APC for presentation to the class I MHC-restricted T cell clones could be demonstrated. Evidence is presented that FBL-3 T leukemia/lymphoma cells function as APC for Lyt-2+ class I MHC-restricted clones, and that no concomitant recognition of Ia molecules is required to activate these clones. Both Lyt-2+ and MT4+ clones were induced to proliferate in the presence of exogenous IL2 alone, but this stimulus failed to result in significant release of immune interferon. In contrast, antigen stimulation of both clones resulted in proliferation as well as significant immune interferon release. Immune interferon production is not required for the generation of MHC-restricted cell-mediated cytolytic function. 相似文献

The recombinant retrovirus, MoFe2-MuLV (MoFe2), was constructed by replacing the U3 region of Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MuLV) with homologous sequences from the FeLV-945 LTR. NIH/Swiss mice neonatally inoculated with MoFe2 developed T-cell lymphomas of immature thymocyte surface phenotype. MoFe2 integrated infrequently (0 to 9%) near common insertion sites (CISs) previously identified for either parent virus. Using three different strategies, CISs in MoFe2-induced tumors were identified at six loci, none of which had been previously reported as CISs in tumors induced by either parent virus in wild-type animals. Two of the newly identified CISs had not previously been implicated in lymphoma in any retrovirus model. One of these, designated 3-19, encodes the p101 regulatory subunit of phosphoinositide-3-kinase-gamma. The other, designated Rw1, is predicted to encode a protein that functions in the immune response to virus infection. Thus, substitution of FeLV-945 U3 sequences into the M-MuLV long terminal repeat (LTR) did not alter the target tissue for M-MuLV transformation but significantly altered the pattern of CIS utilization in the induction of T-cell lymphoma. These observations support a growing body of evidence that the distinctive sequence and/or structure of the retroviral LTR determines its pattern of insertional activation. The findings also demonstrate the oligoclonal nature of retrovirus-induced lymphomas by demonstrating proviral insertions at CISs in subdominant populations in the tumor mass. Finally, the findings demonstrate the utility of novel recombinant retroviruses such as MoFe2 to contribute new genes potentially relevant to the induction of lymphoid malignancy. 相似文献

We have systematically studied uncloned human cell lines derived from anti-influenza A virus or anti-Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) bulk cultures, or from cultures highly enriched for CD4+ or CD8+ lymphocytes. The most noteworthy results are the following: (1) Anti-viral bulk cultures consisted of more than 90% of CD8+ cells in all cases. In contrast, anti-HLA cell lines are composed of approximately 50% CD8+ and 50% CD4+ cells. All of the CD8+ and CD4+ cells present in the culture were also 4B4+/2H4-. (2) In anti-viral bulk cultures, the cytolytic activity was restricted by HLA class I molecules and almost exclusively through a single HLA class I molecule. (3) Positively or negatively selected CD8+ lines showed the same restriction pattern. They grew less efficiently than bulk cultures but could be maintained in the absence of CD4+ cells. The CD4+ cells were however necessary at the beginning of the culture for the development of cytolytic anti-influenza virus CD8+ cells, whereas they were not required for the development of cytolytic anti-EBV CD8+ cells. (4) The CD4+ cell lines grew more actively than bulk cultures. A cytolytic activity for virus-infected cells was constantly detected in these culture from the third passage onward and it was always restricted by HLA class II molecules. This activity was maintained throughout the culture period. However, class II-restricted cytolytic cells were not detected during primary or secondary responses in vitro. 相似文献

Lymph node aspirates from 18 peripheral T-cell lymphomas (PTLs) were analyzed. Cytologic and immunocytologic studies were performed on Cytospin preparations using the alkaline phosphatase-antialkaline phosphatase method with a panel of monoclonal antibodies (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19 and CD30). The cytologic diagnosis was confirmed by histologic investigation. Nine lymph node aspirates from patients with Lennert's lymphoma, angioimmunoblastic (AILD)-type PTL and pleomorphic small-cell-type PTL were composed predominantly of small-to-intermediate-sized lymphocytes. An admixture of plasma cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes with an irregular nucleus, granula in the cytoplasm or abundant cytoplasm was also seen. Nine lymph node aspirates from patients with T-immunoblastic lymphoma, pleomorphic large-cell-type PTL and large-cell anaplastic (Ki-1+) lymphoma showed marked cytologic heterogeneity. Immunocytologic investigation of the aspirates using the antibodies CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19 and CD30 was helpful for the differentiation of PTLs from reactive lymphadenopathy and other malignant lymphomas. A strong predominance of CD3+ cells was found in only seven cases. The aspirates expressed a helper/inducer phenotype in 11 cases and a suppressor/cytotoxic phenotype in 4 cases. A T-cell phenotype not corresponding to the normal T-cell phenotype was found in nine cases. In 15 of the 18 cases, the number of CD19+ cells was found to be less than 15%. The large cells of the large-cell anaplastic (Ki-1+) lymphoma expressed the antigens CD30 and CD45 and were negative for CD15. These findings indicate that immunocytologic studies can be used in improving the cytologic diagnosis of PTLs. 相似文献

Human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-1) is the etiologic agent of adult T-cell leukemia and lymphoma and HTLV-1-associated myelopathy-tropical spastic paraparesis. We examined whether HTLV could productively infect human hematopoietic progenitor cells. CD34+ cells were enriched from human fetal liver cells and cocultivated with cell lines transformed with HTLV-1 and -2. HTLV-1 infection was established in between 10 and >95% of the enriched CD34+ cell population, as demonstrated by quantitative PCR analysis. HTLV-1 p19 Gag expression was also detected in infected hematopoietic progenitor cells. HTLV-1-infected hematopoietic progenitor cells were cultured in semisolid medium permissive for the development of erythbroid (BFU-E), myeloid (CFU-GM), and primitive progenitor (CFU-GEMM, HPP-CFC, or CFU-A) colonies. HTLV-1 sequences were detected in colonies of all hematopoietic lineages; furthermore, the ratio of HTLV genomes to the number of human cells in each infected colony was 1:1, consistent with each colony arising from a single infected hematopoietic progenitor cell. Severe combined immunodeficient mice engrafted with human fetal thymus and liver tissues (SCID-hu) develop a conjoint organ which supports human thymocyte differentiation and maturation. Inoculation of SCID-hu mice with HTLV-1-infected T cells or enriched populations of CD34+ cells established viral infection of thymocytes 4 to 6 weeks postreconstitution. Thymocytes from two mice with the greatest HTLV-1 proviral burdens showed increased expression of the CD25 marker and the interleukin 2 receptor alpha chain and perturbation of CD4+ and CD8+ thymocyte subset distribution profiles. Hematopoietic progenitor cells and thymuses may be targets for HTLV infection in humans, and these events may play a role in the pathogenesis associated with infection. 相似文献

Certain continuous lymphoid and myeloid tumor cell lines of rodent origin are unable to grow in tissue culture in the absence of pre-formed L-cystine (CYS). In contrast, three NZB murine lymphoid cell lines obtained from NZB mice free of hematopoietic neoplasm can grow as well in cystine-deficient media containing L-cystathionine (CSN), the immediate precursor of CYS in the biosynthetic pathway, as in cystine sufficient medium. The former class of cells is, therefore, CYS auxotrophs (CYS-) and the latter CYS prototrophs (CYS+). Compared to CYS+ cells, the CYS- lines appear to be relatively deficient in the enzyme cystathionase, which catalyzes the cleavage of CSN to CYS and alpha-ketobutyrate. Using protein synthetic capacity as a criterion, normal thymocytes from mixed-bred Swiss mice behave like CYS prototrophs, while those from littermates bearing Moloney type C virus-induced thymic tumors behave like CYS auxotrophs. The former are also characterized by substantially higher levels of cystathionase than the latter. Extracts of thymocytes from tumor-free AKR mouse thymus are also characterized by higher levels of cystathionase activity than extracts of spontaneous AKR thymomas. Exogenous in vitro type C virus infection of a CYS+ cell results in vigorous virus production but no concomitant reduction in cystathionase activity. Thus viral replication alone in any random lymphoid cell is not sufficient to alter the enzyme level. The data therefore suggests that CYS auxotrophy may closely accompany neoplastic transformation of certain hematopoietic cells in vivo, including that induced by certain "thymic" type C viruses. 相似文献
