Activation by IL-2, but not IL-4, up-regulates the expression of the p55 subunit of the IL-2 receptor on IL-2- and IL-4-dependent T cell lines 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We have investigated the effects of IL-2 and IL-4 on different parameters of T cell activation using three T cell lines. The Th cell line L14 and the cytotoxic T cell line C30.1, both grown in IL-2-containing medium, and a line derived from C30.1 cells (line 1) cultured in IL-4 for a prolonged period were studied. All three cell lines could be activated with IL-2 or IL-4. T cell stimulation by either IL-2- or IL-4-induced identical patterns of cell size enlargement and transferrin receptor expression. However, only IL-2 up-regulated cell-surface expression of the p55 subunit of the IL-2R (p55 IL-2R) as measured by flow cytometry and RIA. This difference was also reflected by the accumulation of soluble p55 IL-2R in the culture medium. No significant increase in expression of membrane or soluble forms of p55 IL-2R was detected after IL-4 stimulation. mAb specific for p55 IL-2R which block IL-2-induced T cell growth did not affect IL-4-mediated T cell proliferation indicating that p55 IL-2R is not involved in IL-4-mediated T cell growth. Analysis of IL-4R expression performed on line 1 using biotinylated IL-4 revealed that IL-4, but not IL-2, is capable of increasing IL-4R expression. Together these results suggest that during IL-2- or IL-4-induced T cell proliferation, each lymphokine specifically up-regulates its own receptor. 相似文献

IL-4 inhibits IL-2 receptor expression and IL-2-dependent proliferation of human T cells 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10

Recent studies have shown that IL-4 can affect lymphocyte responses to IL-2. To evaluate the effects of IL-4 on T cell responses to physiologically relevant stimuli, we studied normal human T cells cultured with a low concentration of anti-CD3 mAb and IL-2 in the presence and absence of added IL-4. The addition of IL-4 to cultures of T cells stimulated with anti-CD3 mAb and IL-2 reduced the proliferative response by 49 to 59%. The inhibitory effect was observed in 3-, 5-, and 7-day cultures. Inhibition was dose-dependent with maximal inhibition at concentrations greater than or equal to 5 to 10 U/ml IL-4. IL-4-mediated inhibition occurred early during the T cell response, inasmuch as addition of IL-4 after stimulation for 24 h did not result in significant inhibition. Phenotypic analyses of cells cultured in the presence of anti-CD3 mAb, IL-2, and IL-4 suggested that the mechanism of regulation by IL-4 involves the inhibition of IL-2R expression. The proportion of both CD4+ and CD8+ cells that expressed IL-2R in response to IL-2 was diminished in the presence of IL-4, although HLA-DR levels were unaffected. Soluble IL-2R was also reduced in supernatants of cultures stimulated with anti-CD3 mAb, IL-2, and IL-4 as compared to cultures stimulated with anti-CD3 mAb and IL-2. These findings indicate that when normal human T cells are stimulated in vitro in a manner that approximates a physiologic interaction with Ag in vivo, rIL-4 provides a potent inhibitory signal to IL-2 responsive cells that is likely mediated by IL-4-induced inhibition of IL-2R expression. 相似文献

There is growing evidence to suggest a regulatory role of IL-4 in the immune system affecting both proliferation and lymphokine production. In the present work we have analyzed the effect of IL-4 on IL-2 and IFN-gamma synthesis by stimulating CD4+ human T cells (+10% accessory cells) with Con A in the presence of several doses (1 to 100 U/ml) of human rIL-4. The results showed an impaired IL-2 and IFN-gamma synthesis in the presence of IL-4. This inhibition was dose dependent and was evident only when IL-4 was added in the first 2 h of culture. Moreover, the external addition of IL-2 did not revert the inhibitory effect of IL-4 on IL-2 and IFN-gamma synthesis induced by Con A. We have also analyzed the effect of IL-4 on the expression of both alpha- and beta-chains of the IL-2R. Although the expression of IL-2R alpha mRNA was not modified after 6 h in culture in the presence of IL-4, a decrease was observed at 24 and 48 h. The addition of rIL-2 showed that the inhibition in IL-2R alpha expression could be explained by an impairment in the up-regulatory signal transmitted through the IL-2R. In addition to this, IL-4 did not modify the IL-2R beta mRNA expression at 6 and 24 h although a decreased expression was observed at 48 h which could be explained by the defective IL-2 production. The differential effect of IL-4 on the up-regulatory effect of IL-2 in the expression of IL-2R alpha and IL-2R beta suggest the existence of different regulatory mechanisms acting on the expression of both chains. 相似文献

Transforming growth factors beta slow down cell-cycle progression in a murine interleukin-2 dependent T-cell line 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Transforming growth factors beta (TGF-beta) inhibit the growth of a variety of cell types, including lymphocytes. The immunosuppressive effects of TGF-beta have been attributed to the interference of these molecules with the interleukin-2 (IL-2)-driven component of lymphocyte proliferation. In order to elucidate in more detail the effects of TGF-beta on IL-2-induced proliferation, we investigated the effects of porcine transforming growth factor beta 1 and 2 (pTGF-beta 1 and 2) on the IL-2-driven proliferation of a murine IL-2-dependent T-lymphocyte line (CTLL). The results showed that pTGF-beta 1 and 2 decreased 3H-thymidine incorporation in CTLL cells in a dose-dependent fashion (maximum decrease of 75-85%). Combined-time kinetic analysis of the effects of pTGF-beta on 3H-thymidine incorporation, cell growth, and cell-cycle distribution (monitored as DNA content distribution) revealed that, in the first 48 h of culture, pTGF-beta 1 increased the doubling time from 11.4 to 19.2 h without significantly affecting the cell-cycle distribution of CTLL cells. After 96 h of culture in the presence of pTGF-beta 1, cells started to accumulate in G0/G1, although at this time point 30% of the pTGF-beta 1-treated cells were still in S-G2/M. Furthermore, during the first 48 h, neither the expression of the 55 kd chain of the IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) nor the expression of the transferrin receptor (TfR) was affected by TGF-beta. After 72 h of culture in the presence of pTGF-beta 1, the expression of the IL-2R and TfR was decreased. The data suggest that in CTLL cells TGF-beta initially slows the progression of cells in all phases of cell cycle. In addition, the initial TGF-beta-mediated decrease of IL-2-induced 3H-thymidine incorporation and cell proliferation in CTLL cells is not due primarily to downregulation of the IL-2R and/or TfR. 相似文献

IL-4 inhibits the expression of high affinity IL-2 receptors on monoclonal human B cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
S Karray A Dautry-Varsat M Tsudo H Merle-Beral P Debre P Galanaud 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1990,145(4):1152-1158
In the presence of anti-mu antibodies (anti-microAb), monoclonal B lymphocytes from patients suffering from B type chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) can respond to IL-2. In contrast to the effect it exerts on normal B cells, IL-4 does not promote DNA synthesis by B-CLL lymphocytes. Rather this interleukin inhibits the response to IL-2 in all patients' cells that responded to this interleukin. We thus examined whether IL-4 would modulate the number and/or the affinity of IL-2 receptors. A 3-day activation of cells by anti-microAb induced a few hundred high affinity IL-2 receptors (HA-IL-2R) on B-CLL cell surface, as determined by Scatchard analysis. Treatment of cells with IL-4 caused a marked decrease in the number of HA-IL-2R without interfering with the binding ability of IL-2. In contrast with this profound suppressive effect, IL-4 did not down-regulate the expression of each chain, alpha and beta (p55 and p75, respectively), of the HA-IL-2R heterodimer. In fact, the expression of alpha and beta induced by anti-microAb was enhanced by IL-4. Altogether, IL-4 exerts a critical influence on the function and the configuration of HA-IL-2R without inhibiting the expression of two subunits, alpha and beta. 相似文献

Genetic construction and characterization of a fusion protein consisting of a chimeric F(ab') with specificity for carcinomas and human IL-2. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
H P Fell M A Gayle L Grosmaire J A Ledbetter 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1991,146(7):2446-2452
A genetic construct was created incorporating gene fragments encoding the H chain V region of the human carcinoma specific antibody L6, the CH1 domain of human IgG1, a linker region, and human IL-2. This construct was cotransfected with a chimeric L6 L chain construct into the murine myeloma cell line Ag8.653 for expression. First round clones produced the fusion protein at an estimated 5 to 10 micrograms/ml based on idiotypic reactivity. Dual binding activity was demonstrated through specific interaction with the L6 Ag on human tumor cells and the IL-2R on activated human T cells. The IL-2 portion of the molecule was shown to support the growth of the IL-2-dependent T cell line CTLL2, and the qualitative nature of the IL-2 signal was found to be the same as rIL-2 with respect to induction of tyrosine-phosphorylation of intracellular protein substrates. Tumor cells coated with the fusion protein were shown to cause T cell proliferation and the presence of the fusion protein was found to enhance cell-mediated destruction of human tumor cells. 相似文献

The combination of IL-1 and IL-4 stimulates the proliferation of certain murine T cell populations. Although this effect has been best characterized for a number of murine type 2 Th cell (Th2) clones, the mechanism(s) by which these cytokines effect this response is unclear. We have examined the effects of IL-1 and IL-4 on IL-1R expression by MD10 cells, and IL-1-responsive murine T cell line. These cells bear specific IL-1R, which bind human and murine IL-1 alpha and -beta. The measured apparent IL-1R dissociation constant ranged from 41 to 255 pM using 125I-HrIL-1 alpha. Cross-linking studies demonstrated two different 125I-HrIL-1 alpha binding complexes having Mr of 70,000 and 130,000 to 156,000. When removed from passage conditions and placed in non-growth factor-supplemented media, MD10 IL-1R expression spontaneously increased two- to fourfold over the first 11 to 12 h of culture followed by a decline. This phenomenon is partially inhibitable by cycloheximide suggesting that protein synthesis is involved. In agreement with other reports, HrIL-1 alpha down-regulated the expression of its own receptor with an ED50 of between 1 and 10 pM HrIL-1 alpha for this effect. In most experiments, low amounts of HrIL-1 alpha (1.0, 0.1 pM) significantly augmented IL-1R expression. Scatchard analysis of data obtained with all HrIL-1 alpha treatment conditions showed that the effects were due to a change in receptor number, not affinity. Significantly, purified murine IL-4 (MpIL-4) augmented MD10 IL-1R expression in both a time- and dose-dependent fashion. In the presence of 50 U/ml MpIL-4, MD10 IL-1R expression increased two- to threefold after 24 h without a change in receptor affinity. When MpIL-4 (50 U/ml) and various amounts of HrIL-1 alpha (.01-1000 pM) were co-added, the down-regulatory effect of high levels of HrIL-1 alpha was significantly antagonized. When added to cultures after 24 h of HrIL-1 alpha (100 pM) treatment, MpIL-4 reversed the IL-1R down-regulatory effect induced by high levels of HrIL-1 alpha. Finally, when combined in MD10 proliferation assays, MpIL-4 synergistically enhanced the proliferation of MD10 cells treated with suboptimal levels of HrIL-1 alpha.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Lymphokine-regulated differential expression of mRNA for p75kDa-IL-2R and p55kDa-IL-2R in a cloned B lymphoma line (BLC1-CL-3 cells) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
K Nakanishi K Matsui S Hirose T Yoshimoto K Hiroishi T Kono T Hada T Hamaoka K Higashino 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1990,145(5):1423-1429
IL-5 renders BCL1-CL-3 (CL-3) cells responsive to IL-2 by increasing the number of high affinity IL-2R, whereas IL-4 prohibits such action of IL-5 to prepare CL-3 cells responsive to IL-2. Here we have found that genes for p75kDa-IL-2R and p55kDa-IL-2R are differentially regulated by IL-4 and IL-5. Nonstimulated CL-3 cells constitutively express mRNA for p75kDa-IL-2R and p55kDa-IL-2R. IL-5 stimulation principally augments the expression of p75kDa-IL-2R mRNA (4- to 8-fold), although modestly increasing the expression of p55kDa-IL-2R mRNA. Kinetic studies have revealed a maximal increase in p75kDa-IL-2R mRNA expression at 12 h and a decline thereafter, substantiating our previous kinetic study of the expression of high affinity IL-2R after the IL-5 stimulation. By contrast, IL-4 stimulation modestly increases the expression of p75kDa-IL-2R mRNA, whereas markedly reducing the expression of p55kDa-IL-2R mRNA, irrespective of whether CL-3 cells were stimulated with IL-4 alone or together with IL-5 and IL-2. Moreover, addition of IL-4 into the culture containing IL-5 and IL-2 causes striking reduction in the level of J-chain mRNA, which otherwise is markedly induced by stimulation with IL-5 and IL-2. These results clearly illustrate the differential regulation of p75kDa- and p55kDa-IL-2R-gene expression by IL-5 and IL-4, and reinforce our notion that increased expression of high affinity IL-2R induced by IL-5 is responsible for the IL-2 competent state, and decreased expression of p55kDa-IL-2R by IL-4 is responsible for IL-2 unresponsive state. 相似文献

The IL-4 receptor: biochemical characterization of IL-4-binding molecules in a T cell line expressing large numbers of receptors 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

Cross-linking of 125I-IL-4 to the surface of cells expressing IL-4R yields as the major IL-4-binding molecules, polypeptide chains with inferred m.w. of approximately 70,000 (p70) and approximately 120,000 to 140,000 (p120-p140). The demonstration that the functional product of the IL-4R cDNA clone has m.w. of approximately 140,000 and that no p70 product is detected in transfected COS-7 cells has led to an uncertainty regarding the nature of p70. To study this issue, we examined the relationship of the IL-4-binding molecules p120 and p70 and, in parallel, attempted to immunoprecipitate p70 from surface and internally labeled cells using IL-4 and two anti-IL-4R antibodies (M1 and M2), bound to Affigel 10, as ligands. Cross-linked complexes containing 125I-IL-4 and p70 or p120 were isolated and digested with chymotrypsin or with V8 protease. Three distinct IL-4-binding peptides could be compared; these were indistinguishable for cross-linked p70 and p120, strongly implying that p70 and p120 were structurally related. Furthermore, immunoprecipitates made with IL-4 or anti-IL-4R-Affigel did not contain p70. This led us to conclude that p70 is a breakdown product of p120. A second IL-4-binding molecule of 40,000 Da (p40) expressing the M1 and M2 epitopes of the IL-4R was detected and appears to be the product of an mRNA coding for the soluble form of the receptor. mRNA for p40 was detected in both the T cell line CT.4R and the mast cell line CFTL.12 using polymerase chain reaction primers unique to this species of message. Pulse-chase studies of IL-4R in [35S] methionine-labeled cells indicates that p40 is derived from a 42,000-Da precursor that is detectable at the end of the pulse period, and thus, further argue that p40 is an independently translated molecule and not a degradation product of p120. Although p40 has been previously shown to be a soluble, truncated form of the receptor, we failed to observe secretion of p40 into the medium by internally labeled CT.4R cells. 相似文献

Two types of activation Ag, low affinity FcR for IgE (Fc epsilon R2)/CD23 and IL-2R (Tac/p55), were expressed and differently regulated on human eosinophilic leukemia cell lines (EoL-1 and EoL-3). Because the binding of IgE on EoL-3 cells was completely inhibited by H107 (anti-Fc epsilon R2/CD23 mAb) but not by irrelevant mAb, essentially all the low affinity Fc epsilon R2 on EoL-3 seemed to be the Fc epsilon R2/CD23 molecules. Both IL-4 and IFN-gamma enhanced the surface expression of Fc epsilon R2, whereas IL-1, IL-2, and IL-5 showed no effects, as determined by surface staining with anti-Fc epsilon R2 antibody (H107). In contrast to Fc epsilon R2 up-regulation, IL-4 and IFN-gamma showed a differential effect on the regulation of IL-2R (Tac/p55). Whereas IFN-gamma up-regulated the receptor expression of IL-2R/Tac, IL-4 did not. The result suggests that these lymphokines are involved in the different aspects of the activation pathway of the eosinophils. The possible role of Fc epsilon R2 and IL-2R on the function of eosinophils in allergic reaction is discussed. 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

Mik-beta 1 is a mAb that binds to the beta subunit of the IL-2R. We have constructed a recombinant single chain immunotoxin Mik-beta 1(Fv)-PE40 by genetically fusing the H and L V domains of Mik-beta 1 to each other via a peptide linker, and then to PE40, a derivative of Pseudomonas exotoxin. Mik-beta 1(Fv)-PE40 was selectively cytotoxic for cells expressing high levels of IL-2R beta (p75) subunit. Mik-beta 1(Fv)-PE40 was cytotoxic to the NK cell line YT-S, which expresses p75 but not p55 subunits, with an IC50 of 6 ng/ml. The ATL line HUT-102 was less sensitive, with an IC50 of 200 ng/ml. However, the IC50 could be lowered to 11 ng/ml when Mik-beta 1(Fv)-PE40 was allowed to bind to HUT-102 cells at 4 degrees C for 4 h before overnight incubation at 37 degrees C. An excess of Mik-beta 1 but not of anti-Tac, the anti-p55 mAb, prevented the cytotoxicity of Mik-beta 1(Fv)-PE40. We constructed a more active version of Mik-beta 1(Fv)-PE40, designated Mik-beta 1(Fv)-PE40KDEL, by converting the carboxyl-terminus of the toxin from -REDLK to -KDEL. Mik-beta 1(Fv)-PE40KDEL showed an IC50 of 2 ng/ml toward YT-S cells and 35 ng/ml toward HUT-102 cells. Binding studies using radioiodinated Mik-beta 1 showed that Mik-beta 1(Fv)-PE40 bound to the p75 receptor subunit with 11% of the affinity of the native Mik-beta 1 antibody. Mik-beta 1(Fv)-PE40 may be a useful reagent to study cells that express IL-2R, and it deserves further study as a possible treatment for cancers in which the malignant cells express high numbers of p75 subunit. 相似文献

An IL-4-dependent T cell clone (LD8) was isolated from the murine IL-2-dependent cytotoxic T cell line C30.1. This clone has lost the capacity to proliferate in response to IL-2 after long-term culture in IL-4. LD8 cells express the p70, but not the p55, subunit of the IL-2R on their cell surface. The number of p70 IL-2R molecules on LD8 cells is comparable with the number of high-affinity IL-2R on the parental C30.1 cell line. LD8 cells can efficiently internalize IL-2 through the p70 IL-2R subunit. Following stimulation by IL-2, LD8 cells up-regulate p70 IL-2R mRNA, but do not express p55 IL-2R mRNA. IL-2-dependent proliferation of LD8 cells was reconstituted after introduction and expression of a human p55 IL-2R cDNA. To further investigate the role of p70 IL-2R, we have measured IL-2-induced proliferation of C30.1 cells in the presence of three anti-p55 IL-2R mAb (5A2, PC61, and 7D4) that recognize different epitopes. Under the experimental conditions used, the combination of anti-p55 IL-2R mAb prevents the formation of high-affinity IL-2R, but does not affect the binding of IL-2 to p70 IL-2R or IL-2 internalization. However, these three mAb inhibit proliferation of C30.1 cells even in the presence of IL-2 concentrations sufficient to saturate p70 IL-2R. Together these results demonstrate that p70 IL-2R alone is not sufficient to transmit IL-2-induced growth signals and that formation of p55-p70 IL-2R complex is required for IL-2-dependent proliferation of murine T cells. 相似文献

Regulatory effects of IL-4 on human B-cell response to IL-2 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Interleukin-4 (IL-4) counteracts a number of the direct effects of interleukin-2 (IL-2) on B-cells. We here summarize and extend our results, obtained in two different experimental systems, on the antagonism between these two major interleukins. IL-4 inhibits the effect of IL-2 on the proliferation as well as the differentiation of B-type chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells. When B-CLL cells are activated by anti-mu Ab in the presence of IL-4, this latter enhances the expression of the p55 as well as the p70/75 chain of the IL-2 receptor. In contrast IL-4 profoundly suppresses the number of high affinity binding sites for IL-2 on in vitro activated B-CLL cells. Such a discrepancy between the suppression of IL-2 binding sites and the enhancement of each component of the heterodimeric IL-2 receptor, is as far as we know, yet undescribed. The interaction of IL-4 with its own receptors might influence the state of p55-p70/75 complex association or act on a third subunit of the IL-2 receptor. When used alone, IL-4 enhances the expression of other activation molecules by B-CLL cells: CD23, DR antigen. Similarly IL-4 can concomitantly enhance the specific response of normal B-cells while suppressing the action of IL-2. When normal human B-cells are specifically stimulated by an insolubilized antigen, IL-4 alone induces an expansion of the number of specific antigen-binding cells. In contrast IL-4 profoundly suppresses the generation of antigen-induced IL-2-dependent specific IgM antibody forming cells.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

IL-4 inhibits the costimulatory activity of IL-2 or picolinic acid but not of lipopolysaccharide on IFN-gamma-treated macrophages 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We reported previously that IL-2 induces tumoricidal activity in IFN-gamma-treated murine macrophages. The present study was performed to investigate the regulation of IL-2-dependent tumoricidal activity in murine macrophage cell lines. The v-raf/v-myc-immortalized murine macrophage cell lines ANA-1, GG2EE, and HEN-CV did not express constitutive levels of cytotoxic activity against P815 mastocytoma cells. Moreover, these macrophage cell lines did not become tumoricidal after exposure to IL-4, IFN-gamma, IL-2 or LPS. However, these macrophages developed cytotoxic capabilities after incubation with either IFN-gamma plus IL-2 or IFN-gamma plus LPS. IL-4 inhibited IFN-gamma plus IL-2- but not IFN-gamma plus LPS-induced tumoricidal activity. This effect of IL-4 was not restricted to v-raf/v-myc-immortalized macrophage cell lines because similar results were obtained by using a macrophage cell line that was established from a spontaneous histiocytic sarcoma. The suppressive activity of IL-4 on the ANA-1 macrophage cell line was dose-dependent (approximately 12-200 U/ml) and was neutralized by the addition of anti-IL-4 mAb. IL-4 decreased the IFN-gamma-induced expression of mRNA for the p55 (alpha) subunit of the IL-2R in ANA-1 macrophages. Therefore, at least one mechanism by which IL-4 may have inhibited IFN-gamma plus IL-2-induced tumoricidal activity was by reducing macrophage IL-2R alpha mRNA expression. We have previously reported that picolinic acid, a tryptophan metabolite, is a costimulator of macrophage tumoricidal activity. We now report that IL-4 also inhibited IFN-gamma plus picolinic acid-induced cytotoxicity in ANA-1 macrophages. We propose that IL-2 and picolinic acid may have a common mechanism of action that is susceptible to IL-4 suppression. 相似文献

The separate regulation mechanisms of cytokines on two classes of interleukin 2 receptors (IL-2R) on human peripheral T and B cells were analyzed by a flow cytometer using a double stain with IL-2R alpha (55 kilodalton Tac) and IL-2R beta (75 kilodalton mik beta 1, mik beta 3). Although the expression of IL-2R alpha by T cells was slightly enhanced by IL-2 and IL-4, expression of the beta chain was diminished by both cytokines. IL-5 by itself did not alter the expression of either IL-2R alpha or beta, but preculturing with IL-2 for 24 h followed by IL-5 for another 24 h induced an increase in IL-2R alpha expression and in simultaneous alpha/beta chain expression. Increased numbers of high-affinity IL-2R were confirmed by 125I binding assays. On B cells, IL-4 increased alpha, beta, and simultaneous alpha/beta chain expression, but IL-4-treated B cells did not show an increased number of high-affinity IL-2R. 相似文献
