Delayed type hypersensitivity reaction (DTH) consists of a sequential cascade of steps depending on different types of T cells, as well as mast cells, endothelial cells and macrophages. Recently it has been shown that CD4+ TH1 lymphocytes ("inflammatory type") play a central role in DTH reaction. Activated TH1 cells produce a characteristic pattern of cytokines: IL-2, IL-3, TNF-beta, IFN-gamma. Using the contact sensitivity (CS) reaction on mice as a model system, the role of cytokines in the regulation of DTH is presented, particularly the significance of IL-3 and IL-6. The recent data can be interpreted to show that IL-6 released by activated macrophages (APC cells) in the induction phase of the CS reaction probably stimulate CD8+ T suppressor cells. These in turn inhibit the production of IL-2 and IL-3 by CD4+ TH1 cells followed by a state of unresponsiveness. 相似文献

Functional diversity of T lymphocytes due to secretion of different cytokine patterns. 总被引:52,自引:0,他引:52
Different helper T cell subsets secrete different patterns of cytokines when stimulated by antigen. The TH1 and TH2 subsets differ in the secretion of at least eight cytokines, and three or more other cytokine secretion patterns also exist among both mouse and human T cell clones. Several properties of strong immune responses suggest that at least the TH1 and TH2 phenotypes can be present in vivo. As cytokines are major determinants of the functions of the T cells that produce them, these patterns lead to different properties of the T cell subsets. TH1 cells mediate several functions connected with cytotoxicity and local inflammatory reactions, and so these T cells are particularly effective at combating viruses and intracellular bacteria and parasites. TH2 cells are much more effective at stimulating B cells to produce antibody, and so should be more effective against free-living bacteria, and in inducing protective humoral immunity. Antibody and delayed inflammatory reactions are often mutually exclusive during immune responses, and this can be at least partially explained by cross-inhibition of TH1 and TH2 cells. A newly discovered cytokine, IL10, has been implicated as one of the cross-regulatory cytokines, as this TH2 product inhibits cytokine synthesis by TH1 cells. 相似文献

Previous epidemiological studies in humans and experimental studies in animals indicate that survivors of severe sepsis exhibit deficiencies in the activation and effector function of immune cells. In particular, CD4+ T lymphocytes can exhibit reduced proliferative capacity and improper cytokine responses following sepsis. To further investigate the cell-intrinsic defects of CD4+ T cells following sepsis, splenic CD4+ T cells from sham surgery and post-septic mice were transferred into lymphopenic mice. These recipient mice were then subjected to both TH1-(purified protein derivative) and TH2-(Schistosoma mansoni egg antigen) driven models of granulomatous lung inflammation. Post-septic CD4+ T cells mediated smaller TH1 and larger TH2 lung granulomas as compared to mice receiving CD4+ T cells from sham surgery donors. However, cytokine production by lymph node cells in antigen restimulation assays indicated increased pan-specific cytokine expression by post-septic CD4+ T cell recipient mice in both TH1 and TH2 granuloma models. These include increased production of T(H)2 cytokines in TH1 inflammation, and increased production of T(H)1 cytokines in TH2 inflammation. These results suggest that cell-intrinsic defects in CD4+ T cell effector function can have deleterious effects on inflammatory processes post-sepsis, due to a defect in the proper regulation of TH-specific cytokine expression. 相似文献

A novel heterodimeric cytokine consisting of IL-17 and IL-17F regulates inflammatory responses 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21
CD4+ helper T (TH) cells play crucial roles in immune responses. Recently a novel subset of TH cells, termed THIL-17, TH 17 or inflammatory TH (THi), has been identified as critical mediators of tissue inflammation. These cells produce IL-17 (also called IL-17A) and IL-17F, two most homologous cytokines sharing similar regulations. Here we report that when overexpressed in 293T cells, IL-17 and IL-17F form not only homodimers but also heterodimers, which we name as IL-17A/F. Fully differentiated mouse THi cells also naturally secrete IL-17A/F as well as IL-17 and IL-17F homodimeric cytokines. Recombinant IL-17A/F protein exhibits intermediate levels of potency in inducing IL-6 and KC (CXCL 1) as compared to homodimeric cytokines. IL-17A/F regulation of IL-6 and KC expression is dependent on IL-17RA and TRAF6. Thus, IL-17A/F cytokine represents another mechanism whereby T cells regulate inflammatory responses and may serve as a novel target for treating various immune-mediated diseases. 相似文献

gp130 is a common receptor chain for cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-27 and IL-6. During experimental tuberculosis (TB), IL-27 prevents optimal antimycobacterial protection and limits the pathological sequelae of chronic inflammation. The anti-inflammatory properties of IL-27 have been attributed mainly to its suppressive effect on T helper (TH) cells. However, because gp130 cytokines also suppress the inflammatory immune response of macrophages, IL-27 may also regulate inflammation by limiting the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. To specifically address the role of gp130 cytokines on macrophages, the outcome of experimental TB was analysed in macrophage/neutrophil-specific gp130-deficient (LysM(cre) gp130(loxP/loxP)) mice. In these mice, the enhanced induction of inflammatory cytokines and increased expression of the inducible nitric oxide synthase (NOS2) and LRG47 was linked to a greatly augmented TH17 immune response and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 expression. However, this amplified inflammatory immune response in Mtb-infected LysM(cre) gp130(loxP/loxP) mice was not associated with reduced bacterial loads and/or accelerated pathology. Our study revealed an immunoregulatory function of gp130 cytokines on macrophages/granulocytes, which is, however, not critical for modulating the outcome of TB. 相似文献

To determine the role played by lymphocytes and cytokines in the growth of sympathetic neurons in vivo, the innervation and cytokine levels were examined in the spleens of SCID mice that lack T and B cells. Splenic noradrenaline, nerve growth factor (NGF), and IL-1beta levels were elevated in SCID mice. Immunohistochemical examination revealed that the density of tyrosine hydroxylase-positive (TH(+)) fibers of splenic central arteries in SCID mice was increased compared with wild-type C.B-17 mice, while SCID mice had significantly fewer TH(+) fibers in their periarteriolar lymphatic sheaths (PALS). Two weeks after SCID mice were injected with C.B-17 splenic T cells, their TH(+) fiber staining increased in the PALS. IL-3 levels increased significantly in SCID mice following T cell reconstitution, and the administration of anti-IL-3 Ab blocked the above T cell-induced increase in innervation in the PALS. Anti-IL-3 treatment also inhibited the regeneration of splenic sympathetic neurons in C.B-17 mice after they were chemically sympathetomized with 6-hydroxydopamine. Depletion of NK cells by anti-asialo GM1 promoted the splenic innervation in SCID mice, while there were no significant changes in the innervation between CD8(+) T cell-deficient beta(2)-microglobulin knockout mice and their wild type. Our results suggest that T cells (probably CD4(+) Th cells but not CD8(+) CTLs) play a role in regulating the sympathetic innervation of the spleen; this effect appeared to be mediated, at least in part, by IL-3. On the contrary, NK cells may exert an inhibitory effect on the sympathetic innervation. 相似文献

It has been established that mammalian target of Rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitors have anti-inflammatory effects in models of experimental colitis. However, the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. In this research, we investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of AZD8055, a potent mTOR inhibitor, on T cell response in dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in mice, a commonly used animal model of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Severity of colitis is evaluated by changing of body weight, bloody stool, fecal consistency, histology evaluation and cytokine expression. We find that AZD8055 treatment attenuates DSS-induced body weight loss, colon length shortening and pathological damage of the colon. And AZD8055 treatment decreases colonic expression of genes encoding the pro-inflammatory cytokines interferon-γ, interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-1β,IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-a and increases colonic expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-10. We show that AZD8055 treatment decreases the percentages of CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells in spleen, lymph nodes and peripheral blood of mice. We also find that AZD8055 treatment significantly reduces the number of T helper 1(TH1) cells and TH17 cells and increases regulatory T (Treg) cells in the lamina propria and mesenteric lymph nodes. Furthermore, we demonstrates that AZD8055 suppresses the proliferation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and the differentiation of TH1/TH17 cells and expands Treg cells in vitro. The results suggest that, in experimental colitis, AZD8055 exerts anti-inflammatory effect by regulating T helper cell polarization and proliferation. 相似文献

The present study explored the effects of thyroid hormone (TH) treatment on post-ischemic cardiac function and potential implicated mechanisms. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was induced in mice by coronary artery ligation while sham-operated animals served as controls. This procedure resulted in a marked depression of cardiac function and significant reduction in TH levels in plasma. TH was given at a dose aiming to normalize T3 levels in plasma [AMI-TH (A)] and also at higher doses. The group of animals treated with the highest dose of TH, which displayed significantly increased mortality rate was included in the study [AMI-TH (B)]. In AMI-TH (A) mice, TH significantly improved left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF%), [27.9% (1.4) in AMI versus 38.0 (3.1) in AMI-TH (A), P < 0.05], and favorably remodeled LV chamber while α-MHC was the dominant isoform expressed. In AMI-TH (B) mice, TH treatment resulted in increased mortality as compared to untreated mice (73% vs 47%, P < 0.05), while the favorable effect of TH was not evident in the survived animals. At the molecular level, TH, at the replacement dose, modestly increased p-Akt levels in the myocardium without any change in p-ERK levels. On the contrary, TH at the higher dose resulted in further increase in p-Akt along with an increase in p-ERK levels. In conclusion, TH appears to have a dose-dependent bimodal effect on post-ischemic cardiac performance and this effect may, at least in part, be mediated by a distinct pattern of activation of Akt and ERK signaling. 相似文献

CD4+ murine T cell clones, TH1 and TH2, can be distinguished by both functional responses and by their patterns of lymphokine secretion. Recently, a mAb, 23G2, which reacts with a subset of CD45 molecules (CD45R), has been reported to bind differentially to clones of TH1 and TH2 cells. In the present study, normal splenic T cells were analyzed for differences in 23G2-reactivity and were separated into two populations based on their density of CD45R (CD45Rhi and CD45Rlo). The CD45Rhi cells secrete more IL-2 than IL-4 after stimulation in vitro; the reverse is true for the CD45Rlo cells. Because neither population secretes only IL-2 or IL-4, we were unable to classify cells as TH1 or TH2. In vivo and in vitro analyses of the CD45Rhi and CD45Rlo cells suggest a lineage relationship between the two subsets that correlates with the degree of Ag exposure and the state of maturation of the mice. In newborn mice and mice raised under sterile conditions, splenic CD4+ T cells are predominantly CD45Rhi. Under conditions of increased antigenic exposure and maturation of the mice, CD45Rlo cells develop; after long term priming in vivo, the majority of specific Ag-reactive cells are CD45Rlo. Adoptive transfer studies using BALB/c nu/nu recipients demonstrate that CD45Rhi cells become CD45Rlo cells and that the recall response (IgG) to specific Ag is mediated by CD45Rlo cells. Taken together, these data indicate that the level of expression of CD45R on CD4+ T cells distinguishes virgin (CD45Rhi) from primed/memory (CD45Rlo) T cells in normal mice. 相似文献

Although type 2 antigens, such as polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), generally do not prime for IgG memory responses or activate specific helper T cells (TH), previous studies have established that low doses of PVP (0.0025 microgram) can prime for IgG memory and induce TH in vivo. Doses of PVP that are optimally immunogenic for IgM antibody production (0.25-25 micrograms) do not prime for IgG memory responses and preferentially activate PVP-specific suppressor T cells (TS) which suppress IgG antibody production. The studies reported here further characterize PVP-specific TS and begin to investigate the mode of action of these TS. TS induced with high doses of PVP have a typical suppressor cell surface phenotype in that they are Lyt 2+, I-J+, L3T4-, I-A- T cells. PVP-specific TS are inducible in mice expressing the X-linked immune defect and are Igh restricted in their actions. These TS suppress PVP-specific IgG responses of PVP-HRBC (horse red blood cells)-primed B cells when the TH population is from low-dose PVP-primed mice but not when the TH population is from PVP-HRBC-primed mice. Thus the TS do not apparently directly suppress the B-cell responses but act indirectly to suppress IgG responses by preventing the expression of PVP-specific TH function. The TS induced by 0.25 microgram PVP also prevent the generation of PVP-specific memory B cells apparently by preventing the expression of functional TH which are required for induction of memory B cells. Elimination of TS activation by pretreatment of mice with cyclophosphamide at the time of priming with 0.25 microgram PVP results in the expression of TH function and priming of memory B cells. 相似文献

The role of nuclear receptor corepressor (NCoR) in thyroid hormone (TH) action has been difficult to discern because global deletion of NCoR is embryonic lethal. To circumvent this, we developed mice that globally express a modified NCoR protein (NCoRΔID) that cannot be recruited to the thyroid hormone receptor (TR). These mice present with low serum T(4) and T(3) concentrations accompanied by normal TSH levels, suggesting central hypothyroidism. However, they grow normally and have increased energy expenditure and normal or elevated TR-target gene expression across multiple tissues, which is not consistent with hypothyroidism. Although these findings imply an increased peripheral sensitivity to TH, the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis is not more sensitive to acute changes in TH concentrations but appears to be reset to recognize the reduced TH levels as normal. Furthermore, the thyroid gland itself, although normal in size, has reduced levels of nonthyroglobulin-bound T(4) and T(3) and demonstrates decreased responsiveness to TSH. Thus, the TR-NCoR interaction controls systemic TH sensitivity as well as the set point at all levels of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid axis. These findings suggest that NCoR levels could alter cell-specific TH action that would not be reflected by the serum TSH. 相似文献

Analysis of a TH1----TH2 helper cell circuit 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
In the present study, the T15 idiotype-recognizing T helper cell circuit was dissected with respect to its homeostasis, interactive specificity, stability over time, and effects on B cell expression. Analysis of the TH1 cells by adoptive transfer experiments indicates their short-lived state of activity, during which TH2 cells are stimulated. TH1 cell activity was also directly monitored by the use of TNP-anti-T15 hybridoma antigens. It was found that TH1 cells are detected 1 wk after priming with PC-Hy, whereas TH2 cells become activated after 4 wk of priming. Comparative analysis of TH1 cells by using two different TNP-anti-T15 hybridoma antigens indicates a TH1 specificity for a shared idiotope. The stability over time of the TH1----TH2 circuit was demonstrated by comparing TH2 frequencies in young and old mice. Finally, we addressed the question of the function of the idiotype-recognizing T helper cells and showed that stimulation of T15-idiotype-specific TH2 cells can be correlated with a significant increase in the percentage of T15 idiotype in an anti-PC response. Collectively, these data describe an idiotype-specific T helper circuit as part of the network homeostasis of the immune system. 相似文献

WSX-1 (IL-27R) is a class I cytokine receptor with homology to gp130 and IL-12 receptors and is typically expressed on CD4+ T lymphocytes. Although previous reports have clarified that IL-27/WSX-1 signaling plays critical roles in both Th1 differentiation and attenuation of cell activation and proinflammatory cytokine production during some bacterial or protozoan infections, little is known about the importance of WSX-1 in cytokine-mediated diseases of allergic origin. To this aim, we took advantage of WSX-1-deficient (WSX-1(-/-)) mice and induced experimental asthma, in which Th2 cytokines are central modulators of the pathology. OVA-challenged WSX-1(-/-) mice showed marked enhancement of airway responsiveness with goblet cell hyperplasia, pulmonary eosinophil infiltration, and increased serum IgE levels compared with wild-type mice. Production of Th2 cytokines, which are largely responsible for the pathogenesis of asthma, was augmented in the lung or in the culture supernatants of peribronchial lymph node CD4+ T cells from WSX-1(-/-) mice compared with those from wild-type mice. Surprisingly, IFN-gamma production was also enhanced in WSX-1(-/-) mice, albeit at a low concentration. The cytokine overproduction, thus, seems independent from the Th1-promoting property of WSX-1. These results demonstrated that IL-27/WSX-1 also plays an important role in the down-regulation of airway hyper-reactivity and lung inflammation during the development of allergic asthma through its suppressive effect on cytokine production. 相似文献

Changes in both central and peripheral thyroid hormone (TH) metabolism occur during illness. These changes, known collectively as non-thyroidal illness, are apparently mediated by the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNFalpha and IFNgamma. IL-12 is involved in regulation of IFNgamma and TNFalpha. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of IL-12 in TH metabolism during illness. We studied TH metabolism both centrally (in the pituitary) and peripherally (in the liver) in IL-12 knock-out (IL-12 (-/-)) and wild type (WT) mice during illness induced by administration of bacterial endotoxin (LPS). LPS induced a similar decrease in serum T (3), T (4) and liver 5'-DI mRNA expression in IL-12 (-/-) and WT mice with the exception of a smaller reduction of serum T (4) in IL-12 (-/-) mice. In the pituitary, the LPS-induced decline in 5'-DI activity in WT mice was not observed in IL-12 (-/-) mice (p < 0.001), whereas the decrease in DII activity tended to be smaller in IL-12 (-/-) mice (p = 0.066). The lower decrease in pituitary activity of both DI and DII in IL-12 (-/-) mice is possibly related to the lower LPS-induced T (4) decrease. In conclusion, IL-12 is involved in the central regulation of the HPT axis during illness but not in the peripheral regulation. 相似文献

The HN878 strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is regarded as "hypervirulent" due to its rapid growth and reduced survival of infected mice when compared with other clinical isolates. This property has been ascribed due to an early increase in type I IFNs and a failure to generate TH1-mediated immunity, induced by a response to an unusual cell wall phenolic glycolipid expressed by the HN878 isolate. We show, however, that although type I IFN does play an inhibitory role, this response was most apparent during the chronic disease stage and was common to all M. tuberculosis strains tested. In addition, we further demonstrate that the HN878 infection was associated with a potent TH1 response, characterized by the emergence of both CD4 and CD8 T cell subsets secreting IFN-gamma. However, where HN878 differed to the other strains tested was a subsequent reduction in TH1 immunity, which was temporally associated with the rapid emergence of a CD4+CD25+FoxP3+CD223+IL-10+ regulatory T cell population. This association may explain the paradoxical initial emergence of a TH1 response in these mice but their relatively short time of survival. 相似文献

Adenovirus vectors delivered to lung are being considered in the treatment of cystic fibrosis (CF). Vectors from which E1 has been deleted elicit T- and B-cell responses which confound their use in the treatment of chronic diseases such as CF. In this study, we directly compare the biology of an adenovirus vector from which E1 has been deleted to that of one from which E1 and E4 have been deleted, following intratracheal instillation into mouse and nonhuman primate lung. Evaluation of the E1 deletion vector in C57BL/6 mice demonstrated dose-dependent activation of both CD4 T cells (i.e., TH1 and TH2 subsets) and neutralizing antibodies to viral capsid proteins. Deletion of E4 and E1 had little impact on the CD4 T-cell proliferative response and cytolytic activity of CD8 T cells against target cells expressing viral antigens. Analysis of T-cell subsets from mice exposed to the vector from which E1 and E4 had been deleted demonstrated preservation of TH1 responses with markedly diminished TH2 responses compared to the vector with the deletion of E1. This effect was associated with reduced TH2-dependent immunoglobulin isotypes and markedly diminished neutralizing antibodies. Similar results were obtained in nonhuman primates. These studies indicate that the vector genotype can modify B-cell responses by differential activation of TH1 subsets. Diminished humoral immunity, as was observed with the E1 and E4 deletion vectors in lung, is indeed desired in applications of gene therapy where readministration of the vector is necessary. 相似文献
