Programmed cell death-1 (PD1) is an inhibitory receptor expressed on the activated T and B cells. Binding of PD1 to its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2 has led to deliver an inhibitory signal into the activated T cells. Recently, blocking PD1/PD-L1 pathway has emerged as a new treatment paradigm across a broad spectrum of malignancies. Remarkable clinical responses of monoclonal antibodies specific for PD-1 or its ligands in patients with many different types of cancer, attracted several pharmaceutical companies and researchers to investigate the agents that block PD1/PD-L1 signal. The safety and efficacy of the agents are needed to examine in the preclinical studies. In this study, we optimized a facile and cost-effective protocol for in vitro generation and functional analysis of human PD1/PD-L1 pathway. Activation of CD8?+?CD279?+?T cell was performed by anti-CD3 and D28 antibodies and the recombinant PD-L1 was used for inactivation of T cells through PD1/PD-L1 pathway. In this protocol, T-cell cytokine production (IL-2 and IFN-γ) and proliferation assay confirmed that a measurable PD1/PD-L1 signal was generated. We expected that in vitro PD1/PD-L1 signal that has been optimized in this study will serve as a valuable protocol for preclinical studies involving PD1/PD-L1 pathway. 相似文献

In this study, we aimed to explore the role of liver kinase b1 (Lkb1) in the biological characteristics and immune regulation of amniotic mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs). AMSCs were identified via the cell surface markers using flow cytometry. We knocked down the expression of Lkb1 in AMSCs using lentivirus-mediated Lkb1-specific shRNA. The efficiency of the knockdown was detected by flow cytometry, RT-qPCR, and western blot. The AMSC-related phenotype was determined by flow cytometric analysis via staining surface markers. Fibroblast colony-forming cells (CFU-F) assay and Ki-67 intracellular staining assay were used to determine the proliferative capacity. The differentiated and immunosuppressive capabilities were determined by conditional induction of differentiation and co-culture experiments. We observed that AMSCs along with Lkb1 knockdown (AMSCs-Lkb1) displayed similar cellular morphology and surface antigen expression patterns as those observed in AMSCs. However, AMSCs-Lkb1 exhibited an enhanced differentiation capacity towards osteogenesis and chondrogenesis while it showed defective proliferation and increased apoptosis. Furthermore, AMSCs-Lkb1 showed an enhanced immunosuppressive capacity by directly inhibiting conventional T cells and indirectly inducing production of regulatory T cells (Treg). Interestingly, Treg produced by AMSCs-Lkb1 displayed stronger proliferative capacity as compared to those produced by AMSCs. Our results indicate that Lkb1 plays a vital role in maintaining self-renewal of AMSCs and regulating immune equivalence, and may hold potential for the clinical management of diseases such as GVHD. 相似文献

Programmed death-1 ligand (PD-L)1 and PD-L2 are ligands for programmed death-1 (PD-1), a member of the CD28/CTLA4 family expressed on activated lymphoid cells. PD-1 contains an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motif and mice deficient in PD-1 develop autoimmune disorders suggesting a defect in peripheral tolerance. Human PD-L1 and PD-L2 are expressed on immature dendritic cells (iDC) and mature dendritic cells (mDC), IFN-gamma-treated monocytes, and follicular dendritic cells. Using mAbs, we show that blockade of PD-L2 on dendritic cells results in enhanced T cell proliferation and cytokine production, including that of IFN-gamma and IL-10, while blockade of PD-L1 results in similar, more modest, effects. Blockade of both PD-L1 and PD-L2 showed an additive effect. Both whole mAb and Fab enhanced T cell activation, showing that PD-L1 and PD-L2 function to inhibit T cell activation. Enhancement of T cell activation was most pronounced with weak APC, such as iDCs and IL-10-pretreated mDCs, and less pronounced with strong APC such as mDCs. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that iDC have a balance of stimulatory vs inhibitory molecules that favors inhibition, and indicate that PD-L1 and PD-L2 contribute to the poor stimulatory capacity of iDC. PD-L1 expression differs from PD-L2 in that PD-L1 is expressed on activated T cells, placental trophoblasts, myocardial endothelium, and cortical thymic epithelial cells. In contrast, PD-L2 is expressed on placental endothelium and medullary thymic epithelial cells. PD-L1 is also highly expressed on most carcinomas but minimally expressed on adjacent normal tissue suggesting a role in attenuating antitumor immune responses. 相似文献

Recent studies show that cancer cells are sometimes able to evade the host immunity in the tumor microenvironment. Cancer cells can express high levels of immune inhibitory signaling proteins. One of the most critical checkpoint pathways in this system is a tumor-induced immune suppression (immune checkpoint) mediated by the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) and its ligand, programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1). PD-1 is highly expressed by activated T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, and natural killer cells, whereas PD-L1 is expressed on several types of tumor cells. Many studies have shown that blocking the interaction between PD-1 and PD-L1 enhances the T-cell response and mediates antitumor activity. In this review, we highlight a brief overview of the molecular and biochemical events that are regulated by the PD-1 and PD-L1 interaction in various cancers. 相似文献

Programmed cell death-ligand 2 (PD-L2) is one of the two ligands of the programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) receptor, an inhibitory protein mainly expressed on activated immune cells that is targeted in the clinic, with successful and remarkable results. The PD-1/PD-Ls axis was shown to be one of the most relevant immunosuppressive pathways in the immune microenvironment, and blocking this interaction gave rise to an impressive clinical benefit in a broad variety of solid and hematological malignancies. Although PD-L2 has been historically considered a minor ligand, it binds to PD-1 with a two- to six-fold higher affinity as compared to PD-L1. PD-L2 can be expressed by immune, stromal, or tumor cells. The aims of this narrative review are to summarize PD-L2 biology in the physiological responses of the immune system and its role, expression, and clinical significance in cancer. 相似文献

Recent evidence demonstrates that HIV-1 infection leads to the attenuation of cellular immune responses, which has been correlated with the increased expression of programmed death (PD)-1 on virus-specific CD8(+) T cells. PD-1 is induced upon T cell activation, and its prolonged expression facilitates CD8(+) T cell inhibitory signals when bound to its B7 family ligands, PD-ligand (L)1/2, which are expressed on APCs. Importantly, early reports demonstrated that blockade of the PD-1/PD-L interaction by Abs may help to counter the development of immune exhaustion driven by HIV viral persistence. To better understand the regulation of the PD-1 pathway during HIV infection, we examined the ability of the virus to induce PD-L expression on macrophages and dendritic cells. We found a direct relationship between the infection of APCs and the expression of PD-L1 in which virus-mediated upregulation induced a state of nonresponsiveness in uninfected HIV-specific T cells. Furthermore, this exhaustion phenotype was revitalized by the blockade of PD-L1, after which T cells regained their capacity for proliferation and the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines IFN-γ, IL-2, and IL-12 upon restimulation. In addition, we identify a critical role for the PI3K/serine-threonine kinase signaling pathway in PD-L1 upregulation of APCs by HIV, because inhibition of these intracellular signal transducer enzymes significantly reduced PD-L1 induction by infection. These data identify a novel mechanism by which HIV exploits the immunosuppressive PD-1 pathway and suggest a new role for virus-infected cells in the local corruption of immune responses required for viral suppression. 相似文献

Myofibroblasts play an important role in morphogenesis, inflammation, and fibrosis in most tissues. The amniotic membrane stroma can maintain keratocytes in cultures and prevent them from differentiating into myofibroblasts. However, it is unknown whether the AM stroma can also reverse differentiated myofibroblasts. In this study, we found that amniotic membrane stromal cells (AMSCs), which adopted fibroblastic phenotype in vivo, quickly and completely differentiated into myofibroblasts during ex vivo culture in DMEM/FBS on plastic within 2 passages. When cultured on type I collagen, the myofibroblasts maintained their phenotype, however, when these myofibroblasts were re-seeded onto a cryopreserved amniotic membrane stromal surface, they reversed to the fibroblast phenotype. Moreover, we found that the amniotic membrane stromal extract not only helps maintain primary AMSCs fibroblastic phenotype in vitro, but also can reverse differentiated myofibroblasts back to fibroblasts. This reversal was not coupled with cell proliferation. We concluded that the amniotic membrane stroma contains soluble factors that can regulate the mesenchymal cell differentiation. Further investigation into the identity of these factors and the control mechanisms may unravel a new scar-reversing strategy. 相似文献

Amnion, which is usually discarded as medical waste, is considered as abundant sources for mesenchymal stem cells. In human and veterinary medicine, the multipotency of mesenchymal stem cells derived from amnion (AMSCs) together with their plasticity, self-renewal, low immunogenicity and nontumorigenicity characteristics make AMSCs a promising candidate cell for cell-based therapies and tissue engineering. However, up till now, the multipotential characteristics and therapeutic potential of AMSCs on preclinical studies remain uncertain. In this work, we successfully obtained AMSCs from Beijing duck embryos in vitro, and also attempted to detect their biological characteristics. The isolated AMSCs were phenotypically identified, the growth kinetics and karyotype were tested. Also, the cells were positive for MSCs-related markers (CD29, CD71, CD105, CD166, Vimentin and Fibronection), while the expression of CD34 and CD45 were undetectable. Additionally, AMSCs also expressed the pluripotent marker gene OCT4. Particularly, when appropriately induced, AMSCs could be induced to trans-differentiate into adipocytes, osteoblasts, chondrocytes and neurocytes in vitro. Together, these results demonstrated that the isolated AMSCs maintained their stemness and proliferation in vitro, which may be useful for future cell therapy in regenerative medicine. 相似文献

The comparition of biological characteristics and multilineage differentiation of bone marrow and adipose derived Mesenchymal stem cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
We compared the two sources of adipose and bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs and AMSCs ) in multiple differentiation capacity and biological characteristics to provide a theoretical basis for stem cells transplantation. We isolated bone marrow- and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells and compared their phenotype,cell doubling time, the secretion of factors and their ability of multi-differentiation. We also compared their differences in T lymphocyte activation, proliferation and suppression. BMSCs and AMSCs were similar in cell phenotype and the differences existed only in the expression of CD106. On the proliferation rate, AMSCs were faster than BMSCs (doubling time 28 vs. 39?h). In addition, both of these two sources of cells were able to differentiate into bone, fat and cartilage that proved their stem cells properties and the number of stem cell progenitors (CFU-F) from adipose tissue were 10 times larger than those from bone marrow. But AMSCs showed a diminished capacity for suppressing T lymphocyte proliferation and activation compared to BMSCs. Cell origin and abundance were decisive factors in stem cells applications and, in the same volume, with the same premise of AMSCs and BMSCs, adipose tissue is a more promising source of stem cells. 相似文献

Asthma is a difficult chronic airway inflammation, if it cannot be treated and relieved in time, it will seriously affect the health and quality of life of patients. Airway remodeling is relevant to asthma, but there is currently no effective treatment for airway remodeling. Regulating the biological function of airway smooth muscle cells (AMSCs) may be an important method to inhibit airway remodeling. LncRNA MALAT1 and microRNA-216a are involved in the regulation of AMSCs respectively, but there is no research to prove that they can regulate airway remodeling of asthma through mutual combination. Hence, the aim of the present study was performed to investigate the function of lncRNA MALAT1 and microRNA-216a on AMSCs in asthma. The relationship between lncRNA MALAT1, microRNA-216a and AMSCs was studied by MTT, qPCR, Western blot, Transwell and flow cytometry. The results revealed that lncRNA MALAT1 was up-regulated and microRNA-216a was down-regulated in asthma. lncRNA MALAT1 inhibited microRNA-216a targetedly. Whether downregulating lncRNA MALAT1 or upregulating microRNA-216a, cell proliferation, migration and invasion were reduced and apoptosis increased. Therefore, it is believed that lncRNA MALAT1 promotes proliferation and migration of asthma AMSCs by downregulating microRNA-216a. Since lncRNA MALAT1 and microRNA-216a take part in asthma by jointly regulating the proliferation of airway smooth muscle cells and other biological functions, it would be interesting to study if they become biomarkers of asthma, and relationship between the two in asthma diagnosis and poor prognosis. 相似文献

It has been shown that adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AMSCs) can differentiate into adipocytes, chondrocytes and osteoblasts. Several clinical trials have shown the ability of AMSCs to regenerate these differentiated cell types. Age-associated dysregulation of the gastrointestinal (GI) immune system has been well documented. Our previous studies showed that impaired mucosal immunity in the GI tract occurs earlier during agingthan is seen in the systemic compartment. In this study, we examined the potential of AMSCs to restore the GI mucosal immune system in aged mice. Aged (>18 mo old) mice were adoptively transferred with AMSCs. Two weeks later, mice were orally immunized with ovalbumin (OVA) plus cholera toxin (CT) three times at weekly intervals. Seven days after the final immunization, when fecal extract samples and plasma were subjected to OVA- and CT-B-specific ELISA, elevated levels of mucosal secretory IgA (SIgA) and plasma IgG antibody (Ab) responses were noted in aged mouse recipients. Similar results were also seen aged mice which received AMSCs at one year of age. When cytokine production was examined, OVA-stimulated Peyer’s patch CD4+ T cells produced increased levels of IL-4. Further, CD4+ T cells from the lamina propria revealed elevated levels of IL-4 and IFN-γ production. In contrast, aged mice without AMSC transfer showed essentially no OVA- or CT-B-specific mucosal SIgA or plasma IgG Ab or cytokine responses. Of importance, fecal extracts from AMSC transferred aged mice showed neutralization activity to CT intoxication. These results suggest that AMSCs can restore impaired mucosal immunity in the GI tract of aged mice. 相似文献

Aging impairs the functions of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), thereby severely reducing their beneficial effects on myocardial infarction (MI). MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play crucial roles in regulating the senescence of MSCs; however, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we investigated the significance of miR‐155‐5p in regulating MSC senescence and whether inhibition of miR‐155‐5p could rejuvenate aged MSCs (AMSCs) to enhance their therapeutic efficacy for MI. Young MSCs (YMSCs) and AMSCs were isolated from young and aged donors, respectively. The cellular senescence of MSCs was evaluated by senescence‐associated β‐galactosidase (SA‐β‐gal) staining. Compared with YMSCs, AMSCs exhibited increased cellular senescence as evidenced by increased SA‐β‐gal activity and decreased proliferative capacity and paracrine effects. The expression of miR‐155‐5p was much higher in both serum and MSCs from aged donors than young donors. Upregulation of miR‐155‐5p in YMSCs led to increased cellular senescence, whereas downregulation of miR‐155‐5p decreased AMSC senescence. Mechanistically, miR‐155‐5p inhibited mitochondrial fission and increased mitochondrial fusion in MSCs via the AMPK signaling pathway, thereby resulting in cellular senescence by repressing the expression of Cab39. These effects were partially reversed by treatment with AMPK activator or mitofusin2‐specific siRNA (Mfn2‐siRNA). By enhancing angiogenesis and promoting cell survival, transplantation of anti‐miR‐155‐5p‐AMSCs led to improved cardiac function in an aged mouse model of MI compared with transplantation of AMSCs. In summary, our study shows that miR‐155‐5p mediates MSC senescence by regulating the Cab39/AMPK signaling pathway and miR‐155‐5p is a novel target to rejuvenate AMSCs and enhance their cardioprotective effects. 相似文献

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a multi-functional cytokine that is considered a pro-inflammatory cytokine. However, our studies show that MIF, when produced in super-physiological levels by a murine neuroblastoma cell line (Neuro-2a) exceeding those normally seen during an immune response, inhibits cytokine-, CD3-, and allo-induced T-cell activation. MIF is also able to inhibit T cells that have already received an activation signal. The T-cell inhibitory effects of culture supernatants from neuroblastoma cells were reversed when the cells were transfected with dicer-generated si-RNA to MIF. When T cells were activated in vitro by co-culture with interleukin (IL)-2 and IL-15 and analyzed for cytokine production in the presence or absence of MIF-containing culture supernatant, inhibition of T-cell proliferation and induced cell death were observed even as the treated T cells produced high levels of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). The inhibitory effects of MIF were partially reversed when lymphocytes from IFN-gamma knockout mice were tested. We propose that the high levels of MIF produced by neuroblastoma cause activation induced T-cell death through an IFN-gamma pathway and may eliminate activated T cells from the tumor microenvironment and thus contribute to escape from immune surveillance. 相似文献

Role of the programmed death-1 pathway in regulation of alloimmune responses in vivo 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Sandner SE Clarkson MR Salama AD Sanchez-Fueyo A Domenig C Habicht A Najafian N Yagita H Azuma M Turka LA Sayegh MH 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2005,174(6):3408-3415
Programmed death-1 (PD-1), an inhibitory receptor up-regulated on activated T cells, has been shown to play a critical immunoregulatory role in peripheral tolerance, but its role in alloimmune responses is poorly understood. Using a novel alloreactive TCR-transgenic model system, we examined the functions of this pathway in the regulation of alloreactive CD4+ T cell responses in vivo. PD-L1, but not PD-1 or PD-L2, blockade accelerated MHC class II-mismatched skin graft (bm12 (I-Abm12) into B6 (I-Ab)) rejection in a similar manner to CTLA-4 blockade. In an adoptive transfer model system using the recently described anti-bm12 (ABM) TCR-transgenic mice directly reactive to I-Abm12, PD-1 and PD-L1 blockade enhanced T cell proliferation early in the immune response. In contrast, at a later time point preceding accelerated allograft rejection, only PD-L1 blockade enhanced T cell proliferation. In addition, PD-L1 blockade enhanced alloreactive Th1 cell differentiation. Apoptosis of alloantigen-specific T cells was inhibited significantly by PD-L1 but not PD-1 blockade, indicating that PD-1 may not be the receptor for the apoptotic effect of the PD-L1-signaling pathway. Interestingly, the effect of PD-L1 blockade was dependent on the presence of CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells in vivo. These data demonstrate a critical role for the PD-1 pathway, particularly PD-1/PD-L1 interactions, in the regulation of alloimmune responses in vivo. 相似文献

Background
Programmed Death-1 (PD-1; CD279) receptor molecule is widely believed to be a negative regulator predominantly expressed by exhausted/activated mouse T cells. Upon interaction with its ligands, PD-L1 and PD-L2, PD-1 inhibits activation of T cells and cytokine production, which has been documented in various viral and fungal infections as well as in vitro studies. Therefore, inhibition of T cell responses by PD-1 resulted in disease resistance in a variety of mouse infection models studied heretofore.Methodology/Principal Findings
Here, we report that PD-1 deficient (PD-1−/−) mice infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) H37Rv by the aerosol route have increased susceptibility as compared with their wild type littermates. Surprisingly, M. tb antigen-specific T cell proliferation was dramatically reduced in PD-1 deficient animals compared with wild-type littermates, and this was due to increased numbers of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and recruitment of mesenchymal stem cells. Furthermore, PD-1−/− mice exhibited decreases in the autophagy-induced LC3-B marker protein in macrophages.Conclusions/Significance
Our findings suggest that PD-1 does not play an inhibitory role during M. tb infection and instead promotes mycobacterial clearance in mice. 相似文献17.

The programmed death (PD)-1 molecule and its ligands (PD-L1 and PD-L2), negative regulatory members of the B7 family, play an important role in peripheral tolerance. Previous studies have demonstrated that PD-1 is up-regulated on T cells following TCR-mediated activation; however, little is known regarding PD-1 and Ag-independent, cytokine-induced T cell activation. The common gamma-chain (gamma c) cytokines IL-2, IL-7, IL-15, and IL-21, which play an important role in peripheral T cell expansion and survival, were found to up-regulate PD-1 and, with the exception of IL-21, PD-L1 on purified T cells in vitro. This effect was most prominent on memory T cells. Furthermore, these cytokines induced, indirectly, the expression of PD-L1 and PD-L2 on monocytes/macrophages in PBMC. The in vivo correlate of these observations was confirmed on PBMC isolated from HIV-infected individuals receiving IL-2 immunotherapy. Exposure of gamma c cytokine pretreated T cells to PD-1 ligand-IgG had no effect on STAT5 activation, T cell proliferation, or survival driven by gamma c cytokines. However, PD-1 ligand-IgG dramatically inhibited anti-CD3/CD28-driven proliferation and Lck activation. Furthermore, following restimulation with anti-CD3/CD28, cytokine secretion by both gamma c cytokine and anti-CD3/CD28 pretreated T cells was suppressed. These data suggest that gamma c cytokine-induced PD-1 does not interfere with cytokine-driven peripheral T cell expansion/survival, but may act to suppress certain effector functions of cytokine-stimulated cells upon TCR engagement, thereby minimizing immune-mediated damage to the host. 相似文献

PD-1 ligands, negative regulators for activation of naive, memory, and recently activated human CD4+ T cells 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
We examined the role of the PD-1 pathway on the activation of naive, memory, and recently activated human CD4+ T cells to test whether they responded differently. PD-1 ligand blockade modestly enhanced the percentage of responding T cells and production of IFN-gamma in a primary response to myelin basic protein (MBP) in normal donors. PD-1 ligand blockade strongly enhanced proliferation and cytokine production by memory or recently activated T cells (tetanus toxoid and MBP). Blockade of PD-L1 alone had more effect than PD-L2, consistent with its higher expression on ex vivo dendritic cells; furthermore, anti-PD-L1 plus anti-PD-L2 resulted in the greatest enhancement. Moreover, PD-L1-Ig inhibited anti-CD3 induced activation of naive, memory, and recently activated CD4+ T cells. Together, our data demonstrated PD-1 functioned as a negative regulatory pathway on naive T cells during a primary response, and more potently, on memory or recently activated T cells during a secondary response. 相似文献
