IL-27 induces stronger proliferation of naive than memory human B cells and CD4(+) T cells. In B cells, this differential response is associated with similar levels of IL-27 receptor chains, IL-27Rα and gp130, in both subsets and stronger STAT1 and STAT3 activation by IL-27 in naive B cells. Here, we show that the stronger proliferative response of CD3-stimulated naive CD4(+) T cells to IL-27 is associated with lower levels of IL-27Rα but higher levels of gp130 compared with memory CD4(+) T cells. IL-27 signaling differs between naive and memory CD4(+) T cells, as shown by more sustained STAT1, -3, and -5 activation and weaker activation of SHP-2 in naive CD4(+) T cells. In the latter, IL-27 increases G0/G1 to S phase transition, cell division and, in some cases, cell survival. IL-27 proliferative effect on naive CD4(+) T cells is independent of MAPK, but is dependent on c-Myc and Pim-1 induction by IL-27 and is associated with induction of cyclin D2, cyclin D3, and CDK4 by IL-27 in a c-Myc and Pim-1-dependent manner. In BCR-stimulated naive B cells, IL-27 only increases entry in the S phase and induces the expression of Pim-1 and of cyclins A, D2, and D3. In these cells, inhibition of Pim-1 inhibits IL-27 effect on proliferation and cyclin induction. Altogether, these data indicate that IL-27 mediates proliferation of naive CD4(+) T cells and B cells through induction of both common and distinct sets of cell cycle regulators. 相似文献

Distinct effects of STAT5 activation on CD4+ and CD8+ T cell homeostasis: development of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells versus CD8+ memory T cells 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Burchill MA Goetz CA Prlic M O'Neil JJ Harmon IR Bensinger SJ Turka LA Brennan P Jameson SC Farrar MA 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2003,171(11):5853-5864
Using transgenic mice that express a constitutively active version of STAT5b, we demonstrate that STAT5 plays a key role in governing B cell development and T cell homeostasis. STAT5 activation leads to a 10-fold increase in pro-B, but not pro-T, cells. Conversely, STAT5 signaling promotes the expansion of mature alphabeta T cells (6-fold increase) and gammadelta and NK T cells (3- to 4-fold increase), but not of mature B cells. In addition, STAT5 activation has dramatically divergent effects on CD8(+) vs CD4(+) T cells, leading to the selective expansion of CD8(+) memory-like T cells and CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells. These results establish that activation of STAT5 is the primary mechanism underlying both IL-7/IL-15-dependent homeostatic proliferation of naive and memory CD8(+) T cells and IL-2-dependent development of CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells. 相似文献

IL-4 signaling through the IL-4Ralpha chain regulates the development and proliferation of the Th2 lineage of effector CD4(+) T cells. Analyses of the IL-4R in factor-dependent cell lines led to the development of two apparently conflicting models of the primary structural determinants of IL-4R-mediated proliferative signaling. In one model, proliferation was dependent on the first conserved tyrosine in the cytoplasmic tail (Y1), while in the second, proliferation was independent of cytoplasmic tyrosines. We found that in activated primary T cells, mutation of only the Y1 residue resulted in a modest decrease in IL-4-induced S phase entry, a further decrease in cell-cycle completion, and a complete failure of IL-4 to induce p70S6 kinase phosphorylation. Consistent with a role for the PI3K/mammalian target of rapamycin pathway in mediating cytokine acceleration of G(2)/M transit, pretreatment of activated T cells with rapamycin resulted in only a modest decrease in IL-4-induced S phase entry, but a total block of cell-cycle completion. Strikingly, IL-4Ralpha chains that lacked all cytoplasmic tyrosines were competent to signal for STAT5 phosphorylation, mediated efficient S phase entry, and promoted cell-cycle progression. The ability of tyrosine-deficient IL-4Rs to mediate proliferative signaling and STAT phosphorylation was absolutely dependent on the presence of an intact ID-1 region. These findings show that IL-4Ralpha lacking cytoplasmic tyrosine residues is competent to induce ID-1-dependent proliferation, and indicate that IL-4 can promote G(2)/M progression via activation of the mammalian target of rapamycin pathway initiated at the Y1 residue. 相似文献

Recent reports have shown that IL-21, in synergy with IL-15, stimulates proliferation of CD8(+) T lymphocytes in the absence of signaling via the TCR. In this study, we show that IL-6, which induces phosphorylation of STAT3 similarly to IL-21, also can stimulate proliferation of CD8(+) T cells in synergy with IL-7 or IL-15. IL-6 displays a stronger synergy with IL-7 than with IL-15 to stimulate naive CD8(+) T cells. Concomitant stimulation by IL-6 or IL-21 augments phosphorylation and DNA-binding activity of STAT5 induced by IL-7 or IL-15. Like IL-21, IL-6 reduces the TCR signaling threshold required to stimulate CD8(+) T cells. Prior culture of P14 TCR transgenic CD8 T cells with IL-6 or IL-21 in the presence of IL-7 or IL-15 augments their proliferation and cytolytic activity upon subsequent stimulation by Ag. Furthermore, cytokine stimulation induces quantitatively and qualitatively distinct phenotypic changes on CD8(+) T cells compared with those induced by TCR signaling. We propose that the ability of IL-6 to induce TCR-independent activation of CD8(+) T cells in synergy with IL-7 or IL-15 may play an important role in the transition from innate to adaptive immunity. 相似文献

In this study we demonstrated that CD4(+) T cells from STAT4(-/-) mice exhibit reduced IL-12R expression and poor IL-12R signaling function. This raised the question of whether activated STAT4 participates in Th1 cell development mainly through its effects on IL-12 signaling. In a first approach to this question we determined the capacity of CD4(+) T cells from STAT4(-/-) bearing an IL-12Rbeta2 chain transgene (and thus capable of normal IL-12R expression and signaling) to undergo Th1 differentiation when stimulated by Con A and APCs. We found that such cells were still unable to exhibit IL-12-mediated IFN-gamma production. In a second approach to this question, we created Th2 cell lines (D10 cells) transfected with STAT4-expressing plasmids with various tyrosine-->phenylalanine mutations and CD4(+) T cell lines from IL-12beta2(-/-) mice infected with retroviruses expressing similarly STAT4 mutations that nevertheless express surface IL-12Rbeta2 chains. We then showed that constructs that were unable to support STAT4 tyrosine phosphorylation (in D10 cells) as a result of mutation were also incapable of supporting IL-12-induced IFN-gamma production (in IL-12Rbeta2(-/-) cells). Thus, by two complementary approaches we demonstrated that activated STAT4 has an essential downstream role in Th1 cell differentiation that is independent of its role in the support of IL-12Rbeta2 chain signaling. This implies that STAT4 is an essential element in the early events of Th1 differentiation. 相似文献

Although the effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) are mediated through binding and activation of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), the subsequent biochemical and molecular changes that confer immune suppression are not well understood. Mice exposed to TCDD during an acute B6-into-B6D2F1 graft-vs-host response do not develop disease, and recently this has been shown to correlate with the generation of CD4(+) T cells that express CD25 and demonstrate in vitro suppressive function. The purpose of this study was to further characterize these CD4(+) cells (TCDD-CD4(+) cells) by comparing and contrasting them with both natural regulatory CD4(+) T cells (T-regs) and vehicle-treated cells. Cellular anergy, suppressive functions, and cytokine production were examined. We found that TCDD-CD4(+) cells actively proliferate in response to various stimuli but suppress IL-2 production and the proliferation of effector T cells. Like natural T-regs, TCDD-CD4(+) cells do not produce IL-2 and their suppressive function is contact dependent but abrogated by costimulation through glucocorticoid-induced TNFR (GITR). TCDD-CD4(+) cells also secrete significant amounts of IL-10 in response to both polyclonal and alloantigen stimuli. Several genes were significantly up-regulated in TCDD-CD4(+) cells including TGF-beta3, Blimp-1, and granzyme B, as well as genes associated with the IL12-Rb2 signaling pathway. TCDD-CD4(+) cells demonstrated an increased responsiveness to IL-12 as indicated by the phosphorylation levels of STAT4. Only 2% of TCDD-CD4(+) cells express Foxp3, suggesting that the AhR does not rely on Foxp3 for suppressive activity. The generation of CD4(+) cells with regulatory function mediated through activation of the AhR by TCDD may represent a novel pathway for the induction of T-regs. 相似文献

Selective expansion of foxp3-positive regulatory T cells and immunosuppression by suppressors of cytokine signaling 3-deficient dendritic cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Dendritic cells (DCs) induce immunity and immunological tolerance as APCs. It has been shown that DCs secreting IL-10 induce IL-10(+) Tr1-type regulatory T (Treg) cells, whereas Foxp3-positive Treg cells are expanded from naive CD4(+) T cells by coculturing with mature DCs. However, the regulatory mechanism of expansion of Foxp3(+) Treg cells by DCs has not been clarified. In this study, we demonstrated that suppressors of cytokine signaling (SOCS)-3-deficient DCs have a strong potential as Foxp3(+) T cell-inducing tolerogenic DCs. SOCS3(-/-) DCs expressed lower levels of class II MHC, CD40, CD86, and IL-12 than wild-type (WT)-DCs both in vitro and in vivo, and showed constitutive activation of STAT3. Foxp3(-) effector T cells were predominantly expanded by the priming with WT-DCs, whereas Foxp3(+) Treg cells were selectively expanded by SOCS3(-/-) DCs. Adoptive transfer of SOCS3(-/-) DCs reduced the severity of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis. Foxp3(+) T cell expansion was blocked by anti-TGF-beta Ab, and SOCS3(-/-) DCs produced higher levels of TGF-beta than WT-DCs, suggesting that TGF-beta plays an essential role in the expansion of Foxp3(+) Treg cells. These results indicate an important role of SOCS3 in determining on immunity or tolerance by DCs. 相似文献

Evidence has suggested that STAT3 functions as an oncogene in gliomagenesis. As a consequence, changes in the inflammatory microenvironment are thought to promote tumor development. Regardless of its origin, cancer-related inflammation has many tumor-promoting effects, such as the promotion of cell cycle progression, cell proliferation, cell migration and cell survival. Given that IL-6, a major cancer-related inflammatory cytokine, regulates STAT3 activation and is upregulated in glioblastoma, we sought to investigate the inhibitory effects of the chemopreventive flavonoid quercetin on glioblastoma cell proliferation and migration triggered by IL-6, and to determine the underlying mechanisms of action. In this study, we show that quercetin is a potent inhibitor of the IL-6-induced STAT3 signaling pathway in T98G and U87 glioblastoma cells. Exposure to quercetin resulted in the reduction of GP130, JAK1 and STAT3 activation by IL-6, as well as a marked decrease of the proliferative and migratory properties of glioblastoma cells induced by IL-6. Interestingly, quercetin also modulated the expression of two target genes regulated by STAT3, i.e. cyclin D1 and matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2). Moreover, quercetin reduced the recruitment of STAT3 at the cyclin D1 promoter and inhibited Rb phosphorylation in the presence of IL-6. Overall, these results provide new insight into the role of quercetin as a blocker of the STAT3 activation pathway stimulated by IL-6, with a potential role in the prevention and treatment of glioblastoma. 相似文献

The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p27(Kip1) is a critical regulator of T cell proliferation. To further examine the relationship of T cell proliferation and differentiation, we examined the ability of T cells deficient in p27(Kip1) to differentiate into Th subsets. We observed increased Th2 differentiation in p27(Kip1)-deficient cultures. In addition to increases in CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, there is a similar increase in gamma delta T cells in p27(Kip1)-deficient mice compared with wild-type mice. The increase in Th2 differentiation is correlated to an increase of IL-4 secretion by CD4(+)DX5(+)TCR alpha beta(+)CD62L(low) T cells but not to increased expansion of differentiating Th2 cells. While STAT4- and STAT6-deficient T cells have diminished proliferative responses to IL-12 and IL-4, respectively, proliferative responses are increased in T cells doubly deficient in p27(Kip1) and STAT4 or STAT6. In contrast, the increased proliferation and differentiative capacity of p27(Kip1)-deficient T cells has no effect on the ability of STAT4/p27(Kip1)- or STAT6/p27(Kip1)-deficient CD4(+) cells to differentiate into Th1 or Th2 cells, respectively. Thus, while p27(Kip1) regulates the expansion and homeostasis of several T cell subsets, it does not affect the differentiation of Th subsets. 相似文献

In this study, we demonstrate that malignant mature CD4(+) T lymphocytes derived from cutaneous T cell lymphomas (CTCL) variably display some aspects of the T regulatory phenotype. Whereas seven cell lines representing a spectrum of primary cutaneous T cell lymphoproliferative disorders expressed CD25 and TGF-beta, the expression of FOXP3 and, to a lesser degree, IL-10 was restricted to two CTCL cell lines that are dependent on exogenous IL-2. IL-2, IL-15, and IL-21, all of which signals through receptors containing the common gamma chain, induced expression of IL-10 in the IL-2-dependent cell lines as well as primary leukemic CTCL cells. However, only IL-2 and IL-15, but not IL-21, induced expression of FOXP3. The IL-2-triggered induction of IL-10 and FOXP3 expression occurred by signaling through STAT3 and STAT5, respectively. Immunohistochemical analysis of the CTCL tissues revealed that FOXP3-expressing cells were common among the CD7-negative enlarged atypical and small lymphocytes at the early skin patch and plaque stages. Their frequency was profoundly diminished at the tumor stage and in the CTCL lymph node lesions with or without large cell transformation. These results indicate that the T regulatory cell features are induced in CTCL T cells by common gamma chain signaling cytokines such as IL-2 and do not represent a fully predetermined, constitutive phenotype independent of the local environmental stimuli to which these malignant mature CD4(+) T cells become exposed. 相似文献

IL-2 overcomes the unresponsiveness but fails to reverse the regulatory function of antigen-induced T regulatory cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Intranasal administration of peptide Ac1-9[4Y], based on the N-terminal epitope of myelin basic protein, can induce CD4(+) T cell tolerance, and suppress experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis induction. The peptide-induced regulatory T (PI-T(Reg)) cells failed to produce IL-2, but expressed IL-10 in response to Ag and could suppress naive T cell responses in vitro. Analysis of Jak-STAT signaling pathways revealed that the activation of Jak1, STAT3, and STAT5 were induced in tolerant T cells after Ag stimulation in vivo. In addition, the expression of suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 was induced in tolerant T cells, suggesting that cytokines regulate the tolerant state of the PI-T(Reg) cells. Stimulation of PI-T(Reg) cells in vitro with IL-10 induced Jak1 and STAT3 activation, but not STAT5, suggesting that IL-10 is important, but not the only cytokine involved in the development of T cell tolerance. Although IL-2 expression was deficient, stimulation with IL-2 in vitro induced Jak1 and STAT5 activation in PI-T(Reg) cells, restored their proliferative response to antigenic stimulation, and abrogated PI-T(Reg)-mediated suppression in vitro. However, the addition of IL-2 could not suppress IL-10 expression, and the IL-2 gene remained inactive. After withdrawal of IL-2, the PI-T(Reg) cells regained their nonproliferative state and suppressive ability. These results underline the ability of the immune system to maintain tolerance to autoantigens, but at the same time having the ability to overcome the suppressive phenotype of tolerant T cells by cytokines, such as IL-2, during the protective immune response to infection. 相似文献

Granulysin is a cytolytic effector molecule used by lymphocytes to kill tumor and microbial cells. Regulation of granulysin production is complex. A significant delay (5 days) following stimulation of CD4(+) T cells with IL-2 occurs before granulysin is produced. Unfortunately, the mechanisms responsible for this delay are unknown. We have recently demonstrated that granulysin-mediated killing of Cryptococcus neoformans by CD4(+) T cells is defective during HIV infection. This is because CD4(+) T cells from HIV-infected patients fail to produce granulysin in response to IL-2 activation. The present studies examined the mechanism of delayed production of granulysin and the mechanism of the defect in HIV patients. We demonstrate that IL-2 initially requires both STAT5 and PI3K activation to increase expression of IL-2Rbeta, produce granulysin, and kill C. neoformans. The increased expression of IL-2Rbeta precedes granulysin, and preventing the increased expression of IL-2Rbeta using small interfering RNA knockdown abrogates granulysin expression. Moreover, following the increased expression of IL-2Rbeta, blocking subsequent signaling by IL-2 using IL-2Rbeta-specific blocking Abs abrogates expression of granulysin. Finally, CD4(+) T cells from HIV-infected patients, who are defective in both STAT5 and PI3K signaling, fail to express IL-2Rbeta and fail to produce granulysin. These results suggest that IL-2 signals via PI3K and STAT5 to increase expression of IL-2Rbeta, which in turn is required for production of granulysin. These results provide a mechanism to explain the "late" production of granulysin during normal T cell responses, as well as for defective granulysin production by CD4(+) T cells in HIV-infected patients. 相似文献
