It has been proposed that expression of the chemokine receptor CCR7 represents a defining factor for nonpolarized central (CCR7(+)) and polarized effector memory (CCR7(-)) T cells. In this study, we have tested this hypothesis using in vivo-activated T cells from P14 and SMARTA TCR-transgenic (tg) mice specific for MHC class I- and II-restricted epitopes of the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) glycoprotein. CCR7 cell surface expression on TCR-tg cells was monitored with a CC chemokine ligand 19-Ig fusion protein. CC chemokine ligand 19-Ig staining separated TCR-tg cells activated by LCMV infection into CCR7(-) and CCR7(+) effector/memory T cell populations. Nonetheless, both T cell populations isolated from spleen and liver produced identical amounts of IFN-gamma after short-term Ag stimulation. Furthermore, CCR7(+) and CCR7(-) CD8 TCR-tg cells from LCMV-infected mice exhibited similar lytic activity against LCMV peptide-coated target cells. These results question the proposed concept of differential effector cell function of CCR7(+) and CCR7(-) memory T cells. 相似文献

Augmented IL-7 signaling during viral infection drives greater expansion of effector T cells but does not enhance memory 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
IL-7 signals are crucial for the survival of naive and memory T cells, and the IL-7R is expressed on the surface of these cells. Following viral infection, the IL-7R is expressed on only a subset of effector CD8 T cells, and has been demonstrated to be important for the survival of these memory precursors. IL-7 message levels remain relatively constant during the T cell response to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, but a short-lived burst of GM-CSF is observed soon after infection. Retroviral expression of a chimeric GM-CSF/IL-7R, in which binding of GM-CSF by T cells leads to IL-7 signaling, allows for the delivery of an IL-7 signal in all effector T cells expressing the receptor. In mice infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, CD8 and CD4 T cells transduced with this chimeric receptor underwent an enhanced proliferative response compared with untransduced populations in the same host. Similarly, TCR transgenic CD8 cells expressing the chimeric receptor produced higher effector numbers during the peak of the T cell response to infection. Surprisingly, the enhanced proliferation did not lead to higher memory numbers, as the subsequent contraction phase was more pronounced in the transduced cell populations. These findings demonstrate that artificial IL-7 signaling during an infection leads to significantly increased Ag-specific effector T cell numbers, but does not result in increased numbers of memory progeny. The extent of contraction may be dictated by intrinsic factors related to the number of prior cell divisions. 相似文献

Vaccine-induced memory T cells localized at mucosal sites can provide rapid protection from viral infection. All-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) has been shown to act physiologically to induce the expression of gut-homing receptors on lymphocytes. We tested whether the administration of exogenous ATRA during a systemic vaccination of mice could enhance the generation of mucosal CD8(+) T cell immunity, which might represent a strategy for establishing better protection from viral infection via mucosal routes. ATRA induced the expression of CCR9 and α4β7 on both mouse and human CD8(+) T cells activated in vitro. The administration of ATRA to mice during in vivo priming with a replication-defective recombinant adenovirus vector expressing the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus glycoprotein (LCMVgp) (Ad5gp) increased numbers of both effector and memory T cells in intestinal mucosal tissues and showed higher frequencies of systemic central memory-like T cells that exhibited enhanced proliferation during boosting immunization with recombinant modified vaccinia virus Ankara expressing LCMVgp (MVAgp). Mice that received ATRA during Ad5gp vaccination were more resistant to intravaginal challenge by recombinant vaccinia virus expressing LCMVgp (VVgp), reflecting in part stronger T cell recall responses in situ. Thus, ATRA appears to be useful as an adjuvant during vaccination to increase memory T cell responses and protection from viral infection at mucosal sites and may facilitate the development of more effective vaccines against mucosally transmitted pathogens such as HIV. 相似文献

The chemokine receptor CCR7 is a key factor in the coordinate migration of T cells and dendritic cells (DC) into and their localization within secondary lymphoid organs. In this study we investigated the impact of CCR7 on CD8(+) T cell responses by infecting CCR7(-/-) mice with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). We found that the absence of CCR7 affects the magnitude of an antiviral CTL response during the acute phase, with reduced numbers of virus-specific CTL in all lymphoid and nonlymphoid organs tested. On the single cell level, CCR7-deficient CTL gained full effector function, such that antiviral protection in CCR7-deficient mice was complete, but delayed. Similarly, adoptive transfer experiments using DC from CCR7-deficient or competent mice for the priming of CCR7-positive or CCR7-negative CD8(+) T cells, respectively, revealed that ectopic positioning of DC and CTL outside organized T cell zones results in reduced priming efficacy. In the memory phase, CCR7-deficient mice maintained a stable LCMV-specific CTL population, predominantly in nonlymphoid organs, and rapidly mounted protective CTL responses against a challenge infection with a vaccinia virus recombinant for the gp33 epitope of LCMV. Taken together, the CCR7-dependent organization of the T cell zone does not appear to be a prerequisite for antiviral effector CTL differentiation and the sustenance of antiviral memory responses in lymphoid or peripheral tissues. 相似文献

T cells play a key role in the control of viral infection in the CNS but may also contribute to immune-mediated cell damage. To study the redundancy of the chemokine receptors CXCR3 and CCR5 in regulating virus-induced CD8+ T cell-mediated inflammation in the brain, CXCR3/CCR5 double-deficient mice were generated and infected intracerebrally with noncytolytic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. Because these chemokine receptors are mostly expressed by overlapping subsets of activated CD8+ T cells, it was expected that absence of both receptors would synergistically impair effector T cell invasion and therefore protect mice against the otherwise fatal CD8+ T cell-mediated immune attack. Contrary to expectations, the accumulation of mononuclear cells in cerebrospinal fluid was only slightly delayed compared with mice with normal expression of both receptors. Even more surprising, CXCR3/CCR5 double-deficient mice were more susceptible to intracerebral infection than CXCR3-deficient mice. Analysis of effector T cell generation revealed an accelerated antiviral CD8+ T cell response in CXCR3/CCR5 double-deficient mice. Furthermore, while the accumulation of CD8+ T cells in the neural parenchyma was significantly delayed in both CXCR3- and CXCR3/CCR5-deficient mice, more CD8+ T cells were found in the parenchyma of double-deficient mice when these were analyzed around the time when the difference in clinical outcome becomes manifest. Taken together, these results indicate that while CXCR3 plays an important role in controlling CNS inflammation, other receptors but not CCR5 also contribute significantly. Additionally, our results suggest that CCR5 primarily functions as a negative regulator of the antiviral CD8+ T cell response. 相似文献

Immune responses have the important function of host defense and protection against pathogens. However, the immune response also causes inflammation and host tissue injury, termed immunopathology. For example, hepatitis B and C virus infection in humans cause immunopathological sequel with destruction of liver cells by the host's own immune response. Similarly, after infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) in mice, the adaptive immune response causes liver cell damage, choriomeningitis and destruction of lymphoid organ architecture. The immunopathological sequel during LCMV infection has been attributed to cytotoxic CD8(+) T cells. However, we now show that during LCMV infection CD4(+) T cells selectively induced the destruction of splenic marginal zone and caused liver cell damage with elevated serum alanin-transferase (ALT) levels. The destruction of the splenic marginal zone by CD4(+) T cells included the reduction of marginal zone B cells, marginal zone macrophages and marginal zone metallophilic macrophages. Functionally, this resulted in an impaired production of neutralizing antibodies against LCMV. Furthermore, CD4(+) T cells reduced B cells with an IgM(high)IgD(low) phenotype (transitional stage 1 and 2, marginal zone B cells), whereas other B cell subtypes such as follicular type 1 and 2 and germinal center/memory B cells were not affected. Adoptive transfer of CD4(+) T cells lacking different important effector cytokines and cytolytic pathways such as IFNγ, TNFα, perforin and Fas-FasL interaction did reveal that these cytolytic pathways are redundant in the induction of immunopathological sequel in spleen. In conclusion, our results define an important role of CD4(+) T cells in the induction of immunopathology in liver and spleen. This includes the CD4(+) T cell mediated destruction of the splenic marginal zone with consecutively impaired protective neutralizing antibody responses. 相似文献

Professional APCs of hemopoietic-origin prime pathogen-specific naive CD8 T cells. The primed CD8 T cells can encounter Ag on infected nonhemopoietic cell types. Whether these nonhemopoietic interactions perpetuate effector T cell expansion remains unknown. We addressed this question in vivo, using four viral and bacterial pathogens, by comparing expansion of effector CD8 T cells in bone marrow chimeric mice expressing restricting MHC on all cell types vs mice that specifically lack restricting MHC on nonhemopoietic cell types or radiation-sensitive hemopoietic cell types. Absence of Ag presentation by nonhemopoietic cell types allowed priming of naive CD8 T cells in all four infection models tested, but diminished their sustained expansion by approximately 10-fold during lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus and by < or =2-fold during vaccinia virus, vesicular stomatitis virus, or Listeria monocytogenes infections. Absence of Ag presentation by a majority (>99%) of hemopoietic cells surprisingly also allowed initial priming of naive CD8 T cells in all the four infection models, albeit with delayed kinetics, but the sustained expansion of these primed CD8 T cells was markedly evident only during lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, but not during vaccinia virus, vesicular stomatitis virus, or L. monocytogenes. Thus, infected nonhemopoietic cells can amplify effector CD8 T cell expansion during infection, but the extent to which they can amplify is determined by the pathogen. Further understanding of mechanisms by which pathogens differentially affect the ability of nonhemopoietic cell types to contribute to T cell expansion, how these processes alter during acute vs chronic phase of infections, and how these processes influence the quality and quantity of memory cells will have implications for rational vaccine design. 相似文献

Antigen-experienced T cells have been divided into CD62L+ CCR7+ central memory (TCM) and CD62L- CCR7- effector memory (TEM) cells. Here, we examined coexpression of CD62L and CCR7 in lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus-specific memory CD8 T cells from both lymphoid and nonlymphoid tissues. Three main points emerged: firstly, memory cells frequently expressed a mixed CD62L- CCR7+ phenotype that differed from the phenotypes of classical TEM and TCM cells; secondly, TCM cells were not restricted to lymphoid organs but were also present in significant numbers in nonlymphoid tissues; and thirdly, a major shift from a TCM to TEM phenotype was found in memory cells that had been stimulated repetitively with antigen. 相似文献

Acute viral infections induce extensive proliferation and differentiation of virus-specific CD8+ T cells. One mechanism reported to regulate the proliferative capacity of activated lymphocytes is mediated by the effect of telomerase in maintaining the length of telomeres in proliferating cells. We examined the regulation of telomerase activity and telomere length in naive CD8+ T cells and in virus-specific CD8+ T cells isolated from mice infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. These studies reveal that, compared with naive CD8+ T cells, which express little or no telomerase activity, Ag-specific effector and long-lived memory CD8+ T cells express high levels of telomerase activity. Despite the extensive clonal expansion that occurs during acute lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection, telomere length is maintained in both effector and memory CD8+ T cells. These results suggest that induction of telomerase activity in Ag-specific effector and memory CD8+ T cells is important for the extensive clonal expansion of both primary and secondary effector cells and for the maintenance and longevity of the memory CD8+ T cell population. 相似文献

The role of type I IFN signaling in CD8 T cells was analyzed in an adoptive transfer model using P14 TCR transgenic CD8 T cells specific for lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) but deficient in type I IFNR. In the present study, we demonstrate severe impairment in the capacity of P14 T cells lacking type I IFNR to expand in normal type I IFNR wild-type C57BL/6 hosts after LCMV infection. In contrast, following infection of recipient mice with recombinant vaccinia virus expressing LCMV glycoprotein, P14 T cell expansion was considerably less dependent on type I IFNR expression. Lack of type I IFNR expression by P14 T cells did not affect cell division after LCMV infection but interfered with clonal expansion. Thus, direct type I IFN signaling is essential for CD8 T cell survival in certain viral infections. 相似文献

Cutting edge: rapid in vivo killing by memory CD8 T cells 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
In this study, we examined the cytotoxic activity of effector and memory CD8 T cells in vivo. At the peak of the CTL response following an acute lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection, effector CD8 T cells exhibited extremely rapid killing and started to eliminate adoptively transferred target cells within 15 min by a perforin-dependent mechanism. Although resting memory CD8 T cells are poorly cytolytic by in vitro (51)Cr release assays, there was rapid elimination (within 1-4 h) of target cells after transfer into immune mice, and both CD62L(high) and CD62L(low) memory CD8 T cells were able to kill rapidly in vivo. Strikingly, when directly compared on a per cell basis, memory CD8 T cells were only slightly slower than effector cells in eliminating target cells. These data indicate that virus specific memory CD8 T cells can rapidly acquire cytotoxic function upon re-exposure to Ag and are much more efficient killers in vivo than previously appreciated. 相似文献

To define the role of IFN-gamma in the control of acute infection with a noncytopathogenic virus, mice with targeted defects of the genes encoding IFN-gamma, perforin, or both were infected i.v. with two strains of lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus differing markedly in their capacity to spread in wild-type mice. Our results reveal that IFN-gamma is pivotal to T cell-mediated control of a rapidly invasive stain, whereas it is less important in the acute elimination of a slowly invasive strain. Moreover, the majority of mice infected with the rapidly invasive strain succumb to a wasting syndrome mediated by CD8+ effector cells. The primary effector mechanism underlying this disease is perforin-dependent lysis, but other mechanisms are also involved. Wasting disease can be prevented if naive CD8+ cells from mice transgenic for an MHC class I-restricted lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus-specific TCR are adoptively transferred before virus challenge, indicating that the disease is the result of an unfortunate balance between virus replication in internal organs, e.g., liver and spleen, and the host response; resetting this balance by increasing host responsiveness will again lead to a rapidly controlled infection and limited tissue damage. Thus, the presence or absence of IFN-gamma determines whether CTLs will clear infection with this noncytopathogenic virus or induce severe immunopathology. 相似文献

Rapid conversion of effector mechanisms from NK to T cells during virus-induced lysis of allogeneic implants in vivo 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Viral infections can strongly stimulate both NK cell and allospecific CD8 T cell responses, and these same effector cells can lyse allogeneic cell lines in vitro. However, the impact of viral infections on the effector systems mediating rejection of allogeneic tissues in vivo has not been fully explored. Using in vivo cytotoxicity assays, we evaluated the effector systems mediating the rejection of CFSE-labeled allogeneic splenocytes after an infection of C57BL/6 (B6) mice with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. Naive B6 mice predominantly used a NK cell-effector mechanism to reject allogeneic splenocytes because they rejected BALB/C (H2(d)) splenocytes but not CBA (H2(k)) splenocytes, and the rejection was prevented by immunodepletion of NK1.1(+) or Ly49D(+) NK cells. This rapid and efficient in vivo cytotoxicity assay recapitulated the specificity of NK cell-mediated rejection seen in longer duration in vivo assays. However, as early as 1 day after infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, a CD8 T cell-dependent mechanism participated in the rejection process and a broader range of tissue haplotypes (e.g., H2(k)) was susceptible. The CD8 T cell-mediated in vivo rejection process was vigorous at a time postinfection (day 3) when NK cell effector functions are peaking, indicating that the effector systems used in vivo differed from those observed with in vitro assays measuring the killing of allogeneic cells. This rapid generation of allospecific CTL activity during a viral infection preceded the peak of viral epitope-specific T cell responses, as detected by in vivo or in vitro cytotoxicity assays. 相似文献

CD8(+) T cells respond to IL-2 produced both endogenously and by CD4(+) Th during an antiviral response. However, IL-2R signals can potentially promote CD8(+) T cell death as well as proliferation, making it unclear whether IL-2R signals provide a predominantly positive or negative effect upon CD8(+) T cell responses to viral infection. To more precisely define the direct role of IL-2R signaling on CD8(+) T cells during the response to a virus, we examined the effect of delivering augmented IL-2R signals selectively to CD8(+) T cells responding to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection. Although naive CD8(+) T cells are competent to produce IL-2, CD8(+) T cells lose this capacity upon differentiation into effector CD8(+) T cells. However, effector CD8(+) T cells do retain the capacity to produce GM-CSF upon Ag stimulation. Thus, to deliver enhanced autocrine IL-2R signals to CD8(+) T cells, we established a transgenic mouse strain expressing a chimeric GM-CSF/IL-2R (GMIL2R). As GM-CSF production is Ag dependent, the GMIL2R delivers an augmented IL-2R signal exclusively to CD8(+) T cells responding to Ag. Following lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection, GMIL2R transgenic mice exhibited an increase in both the peak CD8(+) T cell response achieved and the size of the resulting memory pool established. Upon secondary viral challenge, the GMIL2R also enhanced the proliferative response of memory CD8(+) T cells. Thus, our findings indicate that IL-2 delivery to responding CD8(+) T cells is a limiting factor in both the acute and memory antiviral responses. 相似文献

It has long been recognized that some viral infections result in generalized immune suppression. In acute infections, this period of suppressed immunity is relatively short. However, chronic infections associated with a prolonged period of immune suppression present far greater risks. Here, we examined the role of CD8 T cell responses following viral infection in immunity to systemic histoplasmosis. Although wild-type mice with systemic histoplasmosis were able to control the infection, those simultaneously infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus clone 13 showed reduced immunity with greater fungal burden and high mortality. The immune suppression was associated with loss of CD4 T cells and B cells, generalized splenic atrophy, and inability to mount a granulomatous response. Removing the anti-viral CD8 T cells in the coinfected mice enabled them to reduce the fungal burden and survive the infection. Their lymphoid organs were replenished with CD4 T and B cells. In contrast to wild-type mice, perforin-deficient mice infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus clone 13 and Histoplasma showed an absence of immunopathology, but the animals still died. These results show that CD8 T cells can suppress immunity through different mechanisms; although immunopathology is perforin-dependent, lethality is perforin-independent. 相似文献

Mice were infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus and injected once 24 h later with a monoclonal antibody directed against gamma interferon. In comparison with controls, the increase of numbers of CD8+ T cells and the generation of virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes in spleens and virus clearance from organs were diminished, as was the ability of spleen cells to transmit adoptive immunity to infected recipients. The same treatment slightly but consistently lessened rather than augmented the virus titers early in infection, which was also observed in thymusless nu/nu mice. Injection into infected mice of the lymphokine itself in quantities probably higher than are produced endogenously resulted in lower virus titers in spleens but higher titers in livers. The adoptive immunity in infected mice achieved by infusion of immune spleen cells was not altered by treating the recipients with gamma interferon monoclonal antibody. Such treatment did not measurably affect the production of antiviral serum antibodies. We conclude that in lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus-infected mice, gamma interferon is needed for the generation of antivirally active CD8+ T lymphocytes, and furthermore that in this experimental model, direct antiviral effects of the lymphokine elude detection. 相似文献

Ablation of CD8 and CD4 T cell responses by high viral loads 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
To evaluate the impact of sustained viral loads on anti-viral T cell responses we compared responses that cleared acute lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection with those that were elicited but could not resolve chronic infection. During acute infection, as replicating virus was cleared, CD8 T cell responses were down-regulated, and a pool of resting memory cells developed. In chronically infected hosts, the failure to control the infection was associated with pronounced and prolonged activation of virus-specific CD8 T cells. Nevertheless, there was a progressive diminution of their effector activities as their capacity to produce first IL-2, then TNF-alpha, and finally IFN-gamma was lost. Chronic lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection was also associated with differential contraction of certain CD8 T cell responses, resulting in altered immunodominance. However, this altered immunodominance was not due to selective expansion of T cells expressing particular TCR Vbeta segments during chronic infection. High viral loads were not only associated with the ablation of CD8 T cell responses, but also with impaired production of IL-2 by virus-specific CD4 T cells. Taken together, our data show that sustained exposure to high viral loads results in the progressive functional inactivation of virus-specific T cell responses, which may further promote virus persistence. 相似文献
