CD4 T cells play an important role in the initiation and persistence of CD8 T cells responses. In this review, we report on and evaluate the mechanisms by which CD4 T cells contribute to activation of CD8 T cells and the signal pathways of the down-streaming events after CD4 T cell help. 相似文献

CD8 CTLs have been accountable for the major effector cells responsible for the rejection of tumor cells. And CD40 signaling and IL-12 have been shown to be the essential pathways involved in the activation process. Immunizing mice with dendritic cells transduced with an adenovirus expressing the human melanoma antigen gp100, an immunization strategy of xenoimmunization, stimulated potent tumor protection dependent on effective CD4 T cells in the absence of CD8 T cells. Further studies revealed that neither CD40 signaling nor IL-12 was indispensable for the activation of dendritic and CD4 T cells in this model. Stimulation of effective antitumor immunity targeting the self-antigen did not elicit autoimmunity. The implications of this study were discussed. 相似文献

Downregulation of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells may underlie enhanced Th1 immunity caused by immunization with activated autologous T cells 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Regulatory T cells (Treg) play important roles in immune system homeostasis, and may also be involved in tumor immunotolerance by suppressing Th1 immune response which is involved in anti-tumor immunity. We have previously reported that immunization with attenuated activated autologous T cells leads to enhanced anti-tumor immunity and upregulated Thl responses in vivo. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are not well understood. Here we show that Treg function was significantly downregulated in mice that received immunization of attenuated activated autologous T cells. We found that Foxp3 expression decreased in CD4+CD25+ T cells from the immunized mice. Moreover, CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg obtained from immunized mice exhibited diminished immunosuppression ability compared to those from naive mice. Further analysis showed that the serum of immunized mice contains a high level ofanti-CD25 antibody (about 30 ng/ml, p〈0.01 vs controls). Consistent with a role ofanti-CD25 response in the downregulation of Treg, adoptive transfer of serum from immunized mice to naive mice led to a significant decrease in Treg population and function in recipient mice. The triggering of anti-CD25 response in immunized mice can be explained by the fact that CD25 was induced to a high level in the ConA activated autologous T cells used for immunization. Our results demonstrate for the first time that immunization with attenuated activated autologous T cells evokes anti-CD25 antibody production, which leads to impeded CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Treg expansion and function in vivo. We suggest that dampened Treg function likely contributes to enhanced Thl response in immunized mice and is at least part of the mechanism underlying the boosted anti-tumor immunity. 相似文献

Absence of CD4+ T cell help has been suggested as a mechanism for failed anti-tumor cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) response. We examined the requirement for CD4+ T cells to eliminate an immunogenic murine fibrosarcoma (6132A) inoculated into the peritoneal cavity. Immunocompetent C3H mice eliminated both single and repeat intraperitoneal (IP) inoculums, and developed high frequency of 6132A-specific interferon-γ (IFNγ)-producing CTL in the peritoneal cavity. Adoptive transfer of peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) isolated from control mice, protected SCID mice from challenge with 6132A. In contrast, CD4 depleted mice had diminished ability to eliminate tumor and succumbed to repeat IP challenges. Mice depleted of CD4+ T cells lacked tumor-specific IFNγ producing CTL in the peritoneal cavity. Adoptive transfer of PEC from CD4 depleted mice failed to protect SCID mice from 6132A. However, splenocytes isolated from same CD4 depleted mice prevented tumor growth in SCID mice, suggesting that 6132A-specific CTL response was generated, but was not sustained in the peritoneum. Treating CD4 depleted mice with agonist anti-CD40 antibody, starting on days 3 or 8 after initiating tumor challenge, led to persistence of 6132A-specific IFNγ producing CTL in the peritoneum, and eliminated 6132A tumor. The findings suggest that CTL can be activated in the absence of CD4+ T cells, but CD4+ T cells are required for a persistent CTL response at the tumor site. Exogenous stimulation through CD40 can restore tumor-specific CTL activity to the peritoneum and promote tumor clearance in the absence of CD4+ T cells.Supported in part by grants from Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin Foundation, Society of University Surgeons Foundation, Florence and Marshall Schwid Foundation, Elsa Pardee Foundation, Kathy Duffy Fogarty Fund of the Greater Milwaukee Foundation (JS) and NIH grant RO1-CA-37156 (HS); Andrew Lodge and Ping Yu have contributed equally to this work. 相似文献

Past studies have described the serendipitous appearance of peripheral CD4(+)CD8(+) double-positive (DP) T cells in both humans and nonhuman primates usually following a viral infection or resulting from a malignancy. However, understanding the role of DP T cells has been hampered by the lack of their reproducible generation. Herein, we describe DP T cells produced after a single intratracheal or intranasal dose of recombinant adenovirus 2 or 5 vector into mice. In a time-dependent fashion, DP T cells localized only in the deep cervical lymph nodes but not in the lungs or in any of the respiratory lymph nodes. These DP T cells were TCR(alpha)beta(+) and CD8(alpha)beta(+), but not TCR(gamma)delta(+) nor CD8(alpha)alpha(+), suggesting that these cells are unrelated to intestinally derived DP T cells. Upon co-stimulation with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28, DP T cells showed increased expression of VLA-1, VLA-2, and CD69, and were more effective than CD4(+) T cells in T helper cell activity, as evidenced by increased IgA, IgG, and IgM production. Such co-stimulation also favored the production of IFN-gamma and IL-10 where CD4(+) T cells were more inclined to produce IFN-gamma and IL-2. 相似文献

T‐cell receptor (TCR)‐transgenic mice have been employed for evaluating antigen‐response mechanisms, but their non‐endogenous TCR might induce immune response differently than the physiologically expressed TCR. Nuclear transfer cloning produces animals that retain the donor genotype in all tissues including germline and immune systems. Taking advantage of this feature, we generated cloned mice that carry endogenously rearranged TCR genes from antigen‐specific CD4+ T cells. We show that T cells of the cloned mice display distinct developmental pattern and antigen reactivity because of their endogenously pre‐rearranged TCRα (rTα) and TCRβ (rTβ) alleles. These alleles were transmitted to the offspring, allowing us to establish a set of mouse lines that show chronic‐type allergic phenotypes, that is, bronchial and nasal inflammation, upon local administrations of the corresponding antigens. Intriguingly, the existence of either rTα or rTβ is sufficient to induce in vivo hypersensitivity. These cloned mice expressing intrinsic promoter‐regulated antigen‐specific TCR are a unique animal model with allergic predisposition for investigating CD4+ T‐cell‐mediated pathogenesis and cellular commitment in immune diseases. 相似文献

Inducible gene expression with the Tet-on system in CD4+ T cells and thymocytes of mice 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
CD4+ T cells with their growing list of effector and regulatory subpopulations have vital functions within the immunohematopoietic system. We report here on the first mouse lines that allow temporally and quantitatively controlled expression of transgenes specifically in CD4+ thymocytes and T cells. These were constructed using the Tet-on system. The rtTA2(S)-M2 version of the reverse tetracycline-dependent transactivator was placed under control of all known CD4 regulatory elements. Reporter transgene expression in mice expressing these constructs is highly specific for CD4+ cells, is strictly dependent on the tetracycline derivative doxycycline, and can be regulated by up to five logs depending on the doxycycline concentration. Moreover, we demonstrate that these mice can be used for noninvasive in vivo imaging of a coexpressed luciferase reporter. These new mouse lines should be highly valuable for studying and manipulating numerous aspects of CD4+ T cell development, biology, and function. 相似文献

To analyze the potential role of Tregs in controlling the TCR repertoire breadth to a non‐self‐antigen, a TCRβ transgenic mouse model (EF4.1) expressing a limited, yet polyclonal naïve T‐cell repertoire was used. The response of EF4.1 mice to an I‐Ab‐associated epitope of the F‐MuLV envelope protein is dominated by clones expressing a Vα2 gene segment, thus allowing a comprehensive analysis of the TCRα repertoire in a relatively large cohort of mice. Control and Treg‐depleted EF4.1 mice were immunized, and the extent of the Vα2‐bearing, antigen‐specific TCR repertoire was characterized by high‐throughput sequencing and spectratyping analysis. In addition to increased clonal expansion and acquisition of effector functions, Treg depletion led to the expression of a more diverse TCR repertoire comprising several private clonotypes rarely observed in control mice or in the pre‐immune repertoire. Injection of anti‐CD86 antibodies in vivo led to a strong reduction in TCR diversity, suggesting that Tregs may influence TCR repertoire diversity by modulating costimulatory molecule availability. Collectively, these studies illustrate an additional mechanism whereby Tregs control the immune response to non‐self‐antigens. 相似文献

Sustained adaptive immunity to pathogens provides effective protection against infections, and effector cells located at the site of infection ensure rapid response to the challenge. Both are essential for the success of vaccine development. To explore new vaccination approach against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) infection, we have shown that Rv3615c, identified as ESX‐1 substrate protein C of M.tb but not expressed in BCG, induced a dominant Th1‐type response of CD4+ T cells from patients with tuberculosis pleurisy, which suggests a potential candidate for vaccine development. But subcutaneous immunization with Rv3615c induced modest T‐cell responses systemically, and showed suboptimal protection against virulent M.tb challenge at the site of infection. Here, we use a mouse model to demonstrate that intranasal immunization with Rv3615c induces sustained capability of adaptive CD4+ T‐ and B‐cell responses in lung parenchyma and airway. Rv3615c contains a dominant epitope of mouse CD4+ T cells, Rv3615c41‐50, and elicits CD4+ T‐cell response with an effector–memory phenotype and multi‐Th1‐type cytokine coexpressions. Since T cells resident at mucosal tissue are potent at control of infection at early stage, our data show that intranasal immunization with Rv3615c promotes a sustained regional immunity to M.tb, and suggests a potency in control of M.tb infection. Our study warranties a further investigation of Rv3615c as a candidate for development of effective vaccination against M.tb infection. 相似文献

Aging is associated with a progressive loss of the CD28 costimulatory molecule in CD4+ lymphocytes (CD28null T cells), which is accompanied by the acquisition of new biological and functional properties that give rise to an impaired immune response. The regulatory mechanisms that govern the appearance and function of this cell subset during aging and in several associated inflammatory disorders remain controversial. Here, we present the whole‐genome DNA methylation and gene expression profiles of CD28null T cells and its CD28+ counterpart. A comparative analysis revealed that 296 genes are differentially methylated between the two cell subsets. A total of 160 genes associated with cytotoxicity (e.g. GRZB, TYROBP, and RUNX3) and cytokine/chemokine signaling (e.g. CX3CR1, CD27, and IL‐1R) are demethylated in CD28null T cells, while 136 de novo‐methylated genes matched defects in the TCR signaling pathway (e.g. ITK, TXK, CD3G, and LCK). TCR‐landscape analysis confirmed that CD28null T cells have an oligo/monoclonal expansion over the polyclonal background of CD28+ T cells, but feature a Vβ family repertoire specific to each individual. We reported that CD28null T cells show a preactivation state characterized by a higher level of expression of inflammasome‐related genes that leads to the release of IL‐1β when activated. Overall, our results demonstrate that CD28null T cells have a unique DNA methylation landscape, which is associated with differences in gene expression, contributing to the functionality of these cells. Understanding these epigenetic regulatory mechanisms could suggest novel therapeutic strategies to prevent the accumulation and activation of these cells during aging. 相似文献

In the host defense mechanism against feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) infection, CD8(+) T cells specifically attack virus-infected cells and suppress the replication of the virus in a non-cytolytic manner by secreting soluble factors. In this study, we measured CD8(+) T cell anti-FIV activity in 30 FIV-infected cats. We investigated its relationship with the number of peripheral blood lymphocytes, particularly the CD4(+) T cell and CD8(+) T cell counts, and the relationship between anti-FIV activity and the number of T cells of CD8alpha(+)beta(lo) and CD8alpha(+)beta(-) phenotypes. A clearly significant correlation was observed between anti-FIV activity and the number of CD4(+) T cells. A weaker anti-FIV activity was associated with a greater decrease in the number of CD4(+) T cells. However, there was no significant correlation between anti-FIV activity and the number of B or CD8(+) T cells. Compared with SPF cats, FIV-infected cats had significantly higher CD8alpha(+)beta(lo) T cell and CD8alpha(+)beta(-) T cell counts, but, no significant correlation was observed between these cell counts and anti-FIV activity. This anti-FIV activity significantly correlated with plasma viremia, which was detected in cats with a weak anti-FIV activity. These results suggest that the anti-FIV activity of CD8(+) T cells plays an important role in plasma viremia and the maintenance of CD4(+) T cells in the body. It is unlikely that CD8alpha(+)beta(lo) or CD8alpha(+)beta(-) T cells appearing after FIV infection represent a phenotype of CD8(+) cells with anti-FIV activity. 相似文献
