Polyclonal activation of xid B cells by auto-Ia-reactive T cell clones   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The mechanism of T cell-dependent activation of xid B cells into Ig-producing cells was studied by employing H-2-restricted, antigen-specific T cell clones. Helper factors (B cell stimulatory factors, BSF) released from KLH-specific T cell lines could induce polyclonal Ig production in B cells from (CBA/N X BALB/c)F1 (NBF1) female mice but not from CBA/N or NBF1 male mice. Direct addition of helper T cell lines induced Ig production in xid B cells from CBA/N or NBF1 male mice. A T cell clone, MK6, which was derived from NBF1 male mice and specific against Iad determinant, could activate NBF1 male but not CBA/N B cells. Another clone, CK4, derived from CBA/N mice and having specificity against KLH plus I-Ak determinant could activate both CBA/N and NBF1 male B cells into IgM- and IgG-producing cells in the absence of KLH, and monoclonal anti-I-Ak antibody specifically blocked such activation. These results suggest that xid B cells are able to be activated by the signal provided by the recognition of Ia molecules on B cells by auto-Ia-reactive T cells. Xid B cells from CBA/N mice that had been co-cultured with a T cell line specific against I-Ak determinant for 24 hr became reactive to BSF and capable of differentiating into Ig-producing cells in the presence of BSF. The results showed that even xid B cells could be responsive to BSF if they were in a certain activation stage.  相似文献

Highly purified small splenic CBA/N B cells show little or no proliferative response to LPS, soluble anti-Ig, LPS plus anti-Ig, or anti-Ig plus the B cell stimulatory factor BSF-1. An excellent proliferative response is obtained, however, if CBA/N B cells are cultured concurrently with LPS, anti-Ig, and a supernatant rich in T cell-derived lymphokines. The pertinent T cell-derived CBA/N B cell co-stimulating factor has the same m.w., isoelectric point range, and hydrophobicity as BSF-1, and co-migrates with BSF-1 throughout a two-step biochemical scheme developed for BSF-1 purification. These data therefore suggest that CBA/N B cells respond to a BSF-1-like lymphokine under appropriate activation conditions. In support of this conclusion, separate experiments demonstrated that unstimulated small CBA/N B cells respond to HPLC-purified BSF-1 by increased expression of membrane-bound class II major histocompatibility antigens. Taken together, these findings indicate that small CBA/N B cells express the receptor for a factor resembling BSF-1, and acquire the capacity to proliferate in response to anti-Ig and this BSF-1-like factor when co-stimulated with LPS.  相似文献

The production of B cell-stimulating factors (BSF) by B cells in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was studied in vitro. B cells from SLE patients markedly proliferated and differentiated into Ig-producing cells by in vitro culture without any stimulation. The culture supernatant of these B cells contained BSF activity that stimulated Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I-treated normal B cells to proliferate and differentiate into Ig-producing cells. By a Percoll gradient density centrifugation, BSF-producing cells were enriched in the higher density fraction, but were reduced in the lower density fraction. The BSF also stimulated the proliferation and the differentiation of SLE B cells. By a Percoll gradient density centrifugation, SLE B cells responsive to the BSF were enriched in the higher density fraction, but were reduced in the lower density fraction. The Mr of the BSF was estimated as about 18,000 Da by Sephacryl S-200 column chromatography. The BSF fraction did not possess IL-2 and IFN activity, but possessed IL-1 activity, which stimulated murine thymocyte proliferative responses. The BSF activity was partially, but not completely, absorbed by an anti-IL-1 alpha antibody. Furthermore, the BSF possessed IL-4 activity, which induced not only the proliferative responses of normal B cells stimulated with B cell mitogens, but also the expression of low affinity Fc epsilon R/CD23 on normal B cells. The BSF also possessed IL-6 activity, which induced the proliferative responses of IL-6-dependent hybridoma cells, MH-60 BSF2. Moreover, human rIL-1, rIL-4, and rIL-6 stimulated SLE B cells. These results suggest that SLE B cells spontaneously produce the BSF such as IL-1 alpha, IL-4, and IL-6 and express their receptors on their surface, and the interaction between the BSF and their receptors stimulates SLE B cells to spontaneously proliferate and differentiate into Ig-producing cells as an autocrine mechanism.  相似文献

The anti-TNP IgM plaque-forming cells (PFC) were generated in the spleen and bone marrow of non-immunodeficient normal mice after intraperitoneal administration of TNP-LPS. Irradiation of normal mice while shielding bone marrow completely abrogated the generation of bone marrow PFC, indicating that they are derived from extramedullary sites. The bone marrow PFC, response to TNP-LPS was low in X-linked immunodeficient CBA/N strain mice, while the spleen response was comparable to that seen in the normal mice. To further study the basis of the deficient bone marrow PFC response in CBA/N mice, spleen cells were adoptively transferred to irradiated syngeneic mice stimulated with TNP-LPS. While spleen cells from normal mice generated high numbers of PFC in recipient bone marrow and spleen, those from CBA/N strain mice could not generate bone marrow PFC. This result was obtained regardless of whether normal or CBA/N recipients were used. These results indicate that TNP-LPS administration normally results in the migration of B lymphocytes from the periphery into the bone marrow and that B cells from immunodeficient CBA/N strain mice bear an inherent defect in this migratory function. This migratory defect was shown to be X-linked, as are the other previously reported B cell defects in this inbred mouse strain. The possible relationship between this migratory defect and the maturational defects of B cell lineage as reported previously in CBA/N strain mice is discussed.  相似文献

The interleukin 1 receptors (IL-1R) on the human B lymphoma RAJI and on the murine thymoma EL4-6.1 have been characterized. Equilibrium binding analysis using both 125I-labeled IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta showed that RAJI cells have a higher number of binding sites/cell for IL-1 beta (2400, Kd 2.2 nM) than for IL-1 alpha (316, Kd 0.13 nM). On the other hand, EL4-6.1 cells have more receptors/cell for IL-1 alpha (22 656, Kd 1 nM) than for IL-1 beta (2988, Kd 0.36 nM). Dexamethasone (DXM) induced on RAJI cells a time-dependent increase in binding sites for both IL-1 beta and IL-1 alpha without affecting their binding affinities. However, while receptor-bound 125I-IL-1 alpha was displaced with equal efficiency by both IL-1 forms, only unlabeled IL-1 beta could effectively displace 125I-IL-1 beta. Cross-linking experiments indicated that RAJI cells have a predominant IL-1R of about 68 kDa, while EL4-6.1 cells have an IL-1-binding polypeptide of 80 kDa. These results suggest that B and T cells possess structurally different IL-1R with distinct binding properties for IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta.  相似文献

Specific, high affinity receptors for vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) have been identified on a human pre-B cell line, Nalm 6, and on a human plasma cell line, Dakiki. The single class of high affinity sites exhibited a KD of 12.6 +/- 2.9 nM for VIP in Nalm 6 cells and 9.1 +/- 2.7 nM in Dakiki plasma cells. The homologous peptides, peptide histidine methionine (PHM), growth hormone releasing factor (GHRF), and secretin were all less effective than VIP in competitively inhibiting binding of 125I-VIP to Nalm 6 and Dakiki plasma membranes. The putative receptor was characterized as a 47-kDa protein using covalent cross-linking techniques and VIP stimulated adenylate cyclase in pre-B cells. Human lymphocytes of B cell lineage thus appear to express functional VIP receptors homologous to the receptor identified in T lymphoblasts, brain, pituitary, and intestine.  相似文献

Murine B cell precursors can be induced to proliferate in culture if allowed to bind to bone marrow derived adherent cells prepared under specific conditions. We studied the binding of human B cell precursor subpopulations to various in vitro microenvironments to determine which conditions may potentially be suitable models for human B precursor differentiation. Using the markers CD10, CD34, and CD20, B lineage populations of increasing maturation were quantitated: CD10+/CD34+, CD10+/CD20-, CD10+/CD20+, and CD10-/CD20+ cells in marrow, and CD10-/CD20+ mature B cells in peripheral blood. The adhesion of subpopulations of blood and marrow-derived light density cells to adherent cell layers or matrix was studied following a 2-h incubation in 24-well plates. The absolute number of bound B lineage cells was determined by cell counts and flow cytometry analysis. The adherence of B lineage cells to passaged human marrow fibroblasts (BM-FB) was highest in the most immature CD10+/CD34+ cells (34.3 +/- 4.2%), decreasing steadily with each stage of maturation to the peripheral blood B cells (11.2 +/- 2.4%). Increased adhesion of CD10+ B cell precursors relative to CD10-/CD20+ marrow B cells was confirmed by adhesion studies using sorted cells. The two most immature B lineage cells (CD10+CD34+ and CD10+/CD20-) showed more adherence to BM-FB than any other cell type tested, except for monocytes. Only B lineage precursor cells, erythroid precursors and CD10-/CD34+ cells showed significantly greater binding to BM-FB than to plastic. B lineage precursors bound equally well to primary and passaged human marrow fibroblasts, but bound significantly less well to passaged human foreskin fibroblasts, primary human marrow stroma, extracellular matrix of marrow fibroblasts, or fibronectin. These results suggest that specific binding to marrow fibroblasts is part of the differentiation program of early B lineage precursors. This binding activity gradually and predictably decreases during B lineage differentiation, in contrast to expression of other binding receptors, such as LFA-1 and CD44, which increase during B lineage maturation.  相似文献

We asked the question whether or not the Lyb-3+5+ B cell subset, which is lacking in CBA/N immune defective mice, is required for the lupus-like autoantibody formation caused by graft-vs-host reaction (GVHR). (CBA/N X DBA/2)F1 male defective mice injected with DBA/2 T cells produced IgG autoantibodies to the same extent as did nondefective F1 mice suffering from GVHR. Although a very small number of DBA/2 B cells might have contaminated the T cell inocula, it was shown that these were B cells of the defective F1 mice that produced autoantibodies during the GVHR. This was demonstrated by detecting autoantibodies carrying an immunoglobulin allotype of the F1 recipient. Furthermore, the defective F1 male mice injected with CBA/N lymphoid cells, which were lacking Lyb-3+5+ B cells, also produced autoantibodies. Isotype analysis of antinuclear antibodies revealed that some of them belonged to IgG3 isotype. It was concluded that the ontogenically late-appearing B cell subset is not required for GVH autoimmunity.  相似文献

Treatment of the Peyer's patch (PP) B cells from X-linked immunodeficient (xid) (CBA/N X DBA/2)F1 male mice with anti-Lyb-5 plus complement kills approximately 75% of these cells, although xid spleen B cells are unaffected. Cytotoxic depletion of Lyb-5+ cells renders the xid PP B cell population unable to generate an in vitro direct plaque-forming cell response to the TI-2 antigen TNP-Ficoll. In addition, the B cell-enriched population from the PP of xid (CBA/N X CBA/J)F1 male mice were strong stimulators of proliferation in an M1s-defined MLR, thereby demonstrating that they also express the M1s antigen(s). Two cell surface antigens associated with mature B cells are therefore expressed by xid PP B cells, suggesting that the TNP-Ficoll responsive cells in this population are mature B cell.  相似文献

The expression of IL-1R on human peripheral B cells was analyzed by the binding assay with 125I-labeled human rIL-1 alpha and by the flow cytofluorometry by the use of FITC-conjugated IL-1 alpha. The proliferation and the differentiation of B cells stimulated with Staphylococcus aureus Cowan I (SAC) in the presence of T cell-derived factors were dependent on IL-1. By the binding experiment with 125I-labeled IL-1 alpha, B cells expressed only few IL-1R without any stimulations. When they were stimulated with SAC, IL-1R on B cells began to increase by only 1 h, reached the maximum level at 6 h. The binding of 125I-labeled IL-1 alpha to B cells was inhibited by the addition of either cold IL-1 alpha or IL-1 beta suggesting that IL-1R on B cells reactive for IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta were identical. By Scatchard plot analysis, the existence of two classes of IL-1R on B cells was found. A major class of IL-1R (320 molecules/cell) has a lower affinity (Kd = 3.8 x 10(-10) M) and a minor class of IL-1R (70 molecules/cell) has a higher affinity (Kd = 4.4 x 10(-12) M). When B cells were stimulated with SAC, both lower and higher affinity IL-1R were increased to 1960 molecules/cell and 300 molecules/cell, respectively. Furthermore, IL-1R on B cells were also detected with FITC-conjugated IL-1 alpha by a flow cytofluorometer. Only 3 to 5% of B cells expressed IL-1R without any stimulations. When B cells were stimulated with SAC, IL-1R-positive B cells were increased to 20%. The addition of anti-class II antibodies inhibited B cell proliferation and differentiation induced with SAC, IL-1, and T cell-derived factors. Anti-class II antibodies also inhibited the number of IL-1R on B cells. These results suggest that the expression of IL-1R was induced as the initial stage of B cell activation and that class II Ag play an important role for the expression of IL-1R on B cells.  相似文献

Spleen cells from adult CBA/H or CBA/N mice, or from neonatal CBA/H mice, were fractionated on thin layers of fluorescein (FLU)-gelatin to yield FLU-specific B lymphocytes. A single cell, or small numbers ranging from 1 to 10, were cultured in 10-microliter microcultures together with various antigens and mitogens. The results were compared with those of bulk culture or limiting dilution cultures supported by thymus filler cells. B cell growth and differentiation-promoting conditioned media (BGDA) were added to some cultures. The CBA/N results gave no support to the commonly used classification of T cell-independent (TI) antigens into TI-1 and TI-2 categories. A typical supposed TI-1 antigen, FLU-LPS, strongly stimulated normal adult single FLU-specific B cells to proliferate and form antibody, but virtually failed to trigger CBA/N B cells of comparable antigen-binding avidity. The same was true of LPS or LPS plus dextran sulfate acting as mitogens. The allegedly TI-2 antigen FLU-Ficoll, although still triggering comparatively poor responses, was actually marginally more active than FLU-LPS. FLU-Brucella abortus (FLU-BA) + BGDA gave the best results with single CBA/N B cells, but still induced only 1.27% of cells to develop into antibody-forming clones vs 12.2% with CBA/H cells. The results obtained with single neonatal B cells also lent no support to the distinction between TI-1 and TI-2. Both "TI-1" and "TI-2" stimuli caused adequate proliferation, one "TI-2" antigen stimulating 23.2% of the cells. None of the antigens caused good antibody formation, however, probably because multivalent antigens can deliver signals impeding the differentiation of immature B cells. It is therefore suggested that the classification of TI-1 antigens into two subcategories be abandoned, at least for the time being.  相似文献

Subpopulations of normal adult murine splenic B cells and a panel of murine B cell tumors were examined for their ability to bind murine IgM specifically. By using two-color flow cytometric analyses, we have demonstrated that 90 to 95% of surface (s)IgD+ B cells express surface membrane receptors for IgM (Fc mu R). The binding of pentameric murine IgM to splenocyte Fc mu R was IgM-specific since it was totally inhibited by other polymeric IgM proteins, but not by Ig of other H chain classes or by mAb specific for the murine IgG or IgE FcR. Binding of IgM to splenic cells was saturable. Fc mu R were co-expressed with the Fc gamma R as well as the Fc epsilon R on the majority of splenic B cells. Minor populations of splenic mononuclear cells expressed only an Fc mu R, Fc gamma R or Fc epsilon R. In a survey of B tumor cell lines representing different stages of B cell development, we observed that the Fc mu R was expressed on pre-B cell lines and that Fc mu R detection was maximal on immature B cell lines that expressed sIgM and low amounts of sIgD and Ia. Fc mu R were not detected on cell lines that had switched from sIgM to the expression of another sIg, or on plasmacytomas and hybridomas. The studies with normal splenocytes establish that the majority of sIgD+ B lymphocytes in adult BALB/c mice express surface membrane receptors that specifically bind IgM. The studies with B lineage tumor cells suggest that the expression of Fc mu R on B cells is developmentally regulated and that the pattern of expression exhibited by Fc mu R during B cell ontogeny differs from the patterns that have been previously found for IgG and IgE FcR. These observations raise the possibility that Fc mu R might have a functional significance in some aspect of B cell maturation and activation. By using a family of IgM H chain constant region domain deletional mutants, we have further demonstrated that, like the T cell Fc mu R, the B cell Fc mu R also requires a C mu 3 domain for binding to occur, raising the possibility that the T and B cell Fc mu R in mice may be structurally related molecules.  相似文献

IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta although distantly related at the primary sequence level, bind to the same Mr 80,000 IL-1 receptor on various cell types. Several lines of evidence indicate, however, that the IL-1 receptor on B cells and T cells differ. By binding experiments with 125I-IL-1, marked heterogeneity in IL-1 receptor binding was observed in 13 of 24 B cell lines studied. This was classified into three categories: (I) in nine cell lines, 125I-IL-1 alpha binding revealed high (kD = 10(-10) M) and low affinity (kD = 10(-8) M) IL-1 alpha receptors, whereas 125I-IL-1 beta binding showed one class only with intermediate affinity (kD = 10(-9) M); (II) in three cell lines selective binding with 125I-IL-1 beta was observed; (III) in one cell line only, 125IL-1 alpha and 125I-IL-1 beta bind to a single class of IL-1 receptors as has been described for most cell types. Cross-linking with 125I-IL-1 alpha or 125I-IL-1 beta demonstrated their specific binding to Mr 80,000 and to Mr 68,000 in cell lines in categories I and III, whereas for those in category II, binding to the IL-1 receptor was confined to 125I-IL-1 beta. The expression of two subsets of IL-1 alpha receptors but only one class of IL-1 beta receptors was further confirmed in kinetic studies. Internalization at 37 degrees C demonstrated that only 19% of IL-1 beta was internalized and that binding with IL-1 alpha was entirely cell surface. Flow cytometry studies showed that IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta do not influence B cell surface antigen expression, suggesting that the ability of IL-1 to influence B cell proliferation is not mediated via direct binding to the IL-1 receptor only.  相似文献

Previous studies have shown that Raji, an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-immortalized Burkitt lymphoma B cell line, contains functional platelet-activating factor (PAF) receptors. Twelve other lymphoid cell lines, including Burkitt and non-Burkitt B cell lines, T cell lines, and a non B, non T cell line were tested for the presence of PAF receptors. Radioligand binding studies conducted at 4 degrees C revealed that six lymphoid cell lines of B cell origin (Raji, P3HR-1, BJAB, BJA/HR-1, Dakiki and PB-1) could specifically bind [3H]PAF. Treatment of four (Raji, P3HR-1, Dakiki and PB-1) of the above lymphoid cell lines with PAF resulted in an increase in free intracellular calcium, indicating that these specific PAF binding sites were functional PAF receptors. Other B cell lines (Daudi, B95-8, sfBT, CB-1), T cell lines (MOLT-4, CCRF-CEM) and a non B, non T cell line (NALM-6) had no PAF binding sites and showed no PAF-induced increase in intracellular calcium levels. These studies demonstrate evidence for the presence of PAF receptors on several B lymphocyte cell lines.  相似文献

The mechanisms of cholinergic stimulation of gastrin cells were studied in the rat pancreatic cell line B6 RIN. Carbachol induced an increase in intracellular Ca2+ and stimulated gastrin release in a dose-dependent manner over the range 10−5-10−3 M. These effects were completely abolished by atropine, suggesting the implication of muscarinic cholinergic receptors. The binding properties of these receptors were investigated. [N-Methyl-3H]scopolamine ([3h]nms) binding on cell homogenates was time-dependent, saturable and consistent with a single high-affinity binding class (Kd = 39.5 pM, and Bmax = 7.9 fmol/mg DNA). Carbachol competitively inhibited [3H]NMS binding. The potency of inhibition of [3H]NMS binding by subtype selective antagonists was hexahydrodifenidol> pirenzepine> AF-DX 116. These results suggest the M3, muscarinic receptors may be involved in the carbachol-induced gastrin release from B6 RIN cells.  相似文献

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) acts on two different G protein-coupled receptors, namely the endothelin A (ET(A)) and the endothelin B (ET(B)) receptors. Both receptor subtypes show differences in their tissue expression and signal transduction. In the present study, we compared the ability of ET(A) and ET(B) receptors to stimulate extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2). In addition, we analyzed the role of the extracellular N terminus for ERK1/2 activation, because the ET(B) receptor undergoes an agonist-dependent N-terminal proteolysis. ET-1 stimulation of HEK293 cells stably expressing the ET(A) receptor induced a monophasic, but sustained ERK1/2 activation, whereas the ET(B) receptor showed a biphasic ERK1/2 activation. A truncated mutant ET(B) receptor, lacking the proteolytically cleaved N terminus (delta2-64 ET(B)) revealed only a monophasic and transient ERK1/2 activation. Treatment of HEK293 delta2-64 ET(B) cell clones with ET-1 and a synthetic NT27-64 peptide, corresponding to the N-terminally cleaved fragment of the ET(B) receptor and ET-1, did not restore the biphasic activation of ERK1/2. A chimeric ET(B) receptor in which the N terminus was replaced by the N terminus of the ET(A) receptor elicited biphasic ERK1/2 activation. The presented data suggest that an intact N terminus of the ET(B) receptor is necessary for the second phase of ERK1/2 activation. However, it appears that the length of the N terminus rather than a specific sequence motif is required for biphasic ERK1/2 activation.  相似文献

The findings presented in this study provide evidence that BSF1 receptors and mIg transmit signals via dissimilar transduction mechanisms that result in a common biologic response, hyper-Ia expression. Specifically, BSF1-containing supernatant does not induce PtdInsP2 hydrolysis as determined by measurement of PtdOH and InsP3. Additionally, BSF1 does not stimulate Ca2+ mobilization, PKC translocation from cytosol to membrane, or membrane depolarization. All of these metabolic events appear to play a central role in hyper-Ia expression mediated by mIg and are initiated after treatment of resting B cells with anti-Ig antibodies. In vitro phosphorylation studies with partially purified plasma membranes from resting B cells revealed that BSF1 interaction with membrane receptors stimulates a membrane-associated protein kinase that phosphorylates an endogenous protein of 44 KDa. Anti-Ig does not stimulate phosphorylation of the 44 KDa protein, suggesting that it does not activate the membrane-associated protein kinase. This observation provides the first evidence of a signal transduction mechanism associated with BSF1-receptor ligation. It indicates that although BSF1 does not modulate events associated with PKC activation, it may function via activation of a membrane-associated protein kinase. This provides a focal point for further studies directed at elucidating signal transduction resulting from BSF1-receptor interaction.  相似文献

Potassium depolarization of skeletal myotubes evokes slow calcium waves that are unrelated to contraction and involve the cell nucleus (Jaimovich, E., Reyes, R., Liberona, J. L., and Powell, J. A. (2000) Am. J. Physiol. 278, C998-C1010). Studies were done in both the 1B5 (Ry53-/-) murine "dyspedic" myoblast cell line, which does not express any ryanodine receptor isoforms (Moore, R. A., Nguyen, H., Galceran, J., Pessah, I. N., and Allen, P. D. (1998) J. Cell Biol. 140, 843-851), and C(2)C(12) cells, a myoblast cell line that expresses all three isoforms. Although 1B5 cells lack ryanodine binding, they bind tritiated inositol (1,4,5)-trisphosphate. Both type 1 and type 3 inositol trisphosphate receptors were immuno-located in the nuclei of both cell types and were visualized by Western blot analysis. After stimulation with 47 mm K(+), inositol trisphosphate mass raised transiently in both cell types. Both fast calcium increase and slow propagated calcium signals were seen in C(2)C(12) myotubes. However, 1B5 myotubes (as well as ryanodine-treated C(2)C(12) myotubes) displayed only a long-lasting, non-propagating calcium increase, particularly evident in the nuclei. Calcium signals in 1B5 myotubes were almost completely blocked by inhibitors of the inositol trisphosphate pathway: U73122, 2-aminoethoxydiphenyl borate, or xestospongin C. Results support the hypothesis that inositol trisphosphate mediates slow calcium signals in muscle cell ryanodine receptors, having a role in their time course and propagation.  相似文献
