MurNAc-l-Ala-d-isoGln (N-acetylmuramyl-l-alanyl-d-isoglutamine, MDP), a synthetic compound, acts as an adjuvant on the humoral immune response and on the T cell-mediated immune response. In this report, we attempted to directly demonstrate the initial target cells of MDP for its adjuvant activity in vitro by using cell separation procedures.It was demonstrated that MDP enhanced the immune response following direct interaction with antigen-stimulated T and B lymphocytes, but nonstimulated lymphocytes, shortly after triggering by antigen, and that there was no macrophage requirement for MDP to elicite the adjuvant action in the primary anti-SRBC PFC response in vitro. It has also been demonstrated that the adjuvant activity of MDP is due to an enhancing effect which is different from the possible mitogenic activity to spleen cells and MDP replaces neither a function of macrophages, which is substituted by 2-mercaptoethanol nor a helper function of T cells. 相似文献

Mycobacterium consists up to 7% of mycobacterial DNA-binding protein 1 (MDP1) in total cellular proteins. Host immune responses to MDP1 were studied in mice to explore the antigenic properties of this protein. Anti-MDP1 IgG was produced after infection with either bacillus Calmette-Guérin or Mycobacterium tuberculosis in C3H/HeJ mice. However, the level of Ab was remarkably low when purified MDP1 was injected. MDP1 is considered to be associated with DNA in nucleoid, which contains immunostimulatory CpG motif. Therefore, we examined coadministration of MDP1 and DNA derived from M. tuberculosis. Consequently, this procedure significantly enhanced the production of MDP1-specific IgG. Five nanograms of DNA was enough to enhance MDP1-specific IgG production in the administration of 5 microg of MDP1 into mice. Strong immune stimulation by such a small amount of DNA is noteworthy, because >1,000- to 100,000-fold doses of CpG DNAs are used for immune activation. A synthetic peptide-based study showed that B cell epitopes were different between mice administered MDP1 alone and those given a mixture of MDP1 and DNA, suggesting that DNA alters the three-dimensional structure of MDP1. Coadministration of DNA also enhanced MDP1-specific IFN-gamma production and reduced the bacterial burden of a following challenge of M. tuberculosis, showing that MDP1 is a novel vaccine target. Finally, we found that MDP1 remarkably enhanced TLR9-dependent immune stimulation by unmethylated CpG oligo DNA in vitro. To our knowledge, MDP1 is the first protein discovered that remarkably augments the CpG-mediated immune response and is a potential adjuvant for CpG DNA-based immune therapies. 相似文献

A synthetic adjuvant active glycopeptide, N-acetyl-muramyl-l-alanyl-d-isoglutamine (MDP), has been previously shown to enhance the in vitro immune response of mouse spleen cells to T-dependent or independent antigens. Data presented here show that the net activity of MDP on the in vitro immune response is closely related to the cell culture conditions: Two distinct patterns of MDP activities could actually be detected. Marked stimulation of the PFC response was observed at “low density” cell cultures. In contrast, suppression could be seen at “high density” cell cultures. Moreover, the culture conditions which permitted characterization of either the enhancement or suppression of the immune response by MDP were strongly dependent on the strain of mouse used. However, these activities were not dependent on antigen concentration, on kinetics of responses, or on cytotoxic effects. 相似文献

In this study, peptidoglycan (PEG) from Staphylococcus aureus‐stimulated, but not muramyldipeptide (MDP)‐stimulated, Langerhans cells (LCs) induced a dose‐dependent Th2‐prone immune response. However, when LCs were stimulated with PEG in combination with MDP, the strength of Th2 immune responses was synergistically augmented by MDP. Furthermore, it was found that production of IL‐10, but not of IL‐12 p40, by PEG‐stimulated LCs was also enhanced in the presence of MDP. These results suggest that MDP enhances Th2 cell development through up‐regulation of IL‐10 production from PEG‐stimulated LCs, increase the importance of S. aureus colonization in patients with atopic dermatitis. 相似文献

Various subcellular bacterial fractions are known to enhance immune responses and serve as potent adjuvants. Muramyl dipeptide (MDP), a synthetic adjuvant mimicking a component of mycobacterial cell walls, enhances humoral immunity to soluble antigens and can increase macrophage cytotoxicity toward mastocytoma cells in vitro. In the present study MDP was found to enhance the hemolytic antibody plaque response of normal mouse spleen cells in vitro to SRBC at a level equal to or greater than that induced by Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide. Furthermore, MDP was found to enhance the antibody response to SRBC nonspecifically in unimmunized spleen cell cultures, suggesting that similar to LPS the synthetic dipeptide may induce a generalized clonal expansion of committed lymphocytes and thus serve as a "polyclonal activator." MDP also enhanced the immune responsiveness of normal splenocytes to suboptimum concentrations of SRBC, indicating that this material may be useful in enhancing immunity in situations where there would normally be a poor immune response. 相似文献

Muramyl dipeptide (MDP), a synthetic adjuvant, increased the primary response of CBA mice to sheep red blood cells (SRBC). In reconstituted irradiated recipients, cooperation between T and B lymphocytes was required for the expression of adjuvant activity and MDP increased the efficiency of SRBC-educated T cells. The role of T-derived lymphocytes in mediating the MDP adjuvant activity was also demonstrated in irradiated mice and in mice reconstituted with various splenic cellular types of donors which had received SRBC and MDP 24 hr earlier. In our experiments, the macrophage did not seem to be involved, since MDP did not increase the phagocytic capacity of peritoneal exudate cells and MDP- and SRBC-pretreated macrophages had no increased ability to induce an anti-SRBC immune response. These results demonstrate the importance of T lymphocytes as mediators of the adjuvant activity of MDP. 相似文献

The involvement of macrophages in the adjuvanticity of N-acetyl-muramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (MDP) has been examined. The stimulation of the in vitro primary immune response to sheep red blood cells (SRBC) has been studied, because it is known that macrophages cooperate through the mediation of soluble compounds for the induction of the anti-SRBC response. The cultures depleted of macrophages by passing spleen cells on Sephadex G-10 were unable to give any response to SRBC. Their immune responsiveness was fully restored by the addition of either Interleukine 1 (IL 1) obtained from P388D1 cells or a factor able to replace macrophages (FRM) obtained from resident peritoneal macrophages. MDP alone, at any dose, was unable to induce any response in such macrophage depleted cultures, but it was able to enhance the antibody response of these cultures reconstituted with monokines, with the same characteristics in dose effect and timing dependence than in whole spleen cells. 相似文献

In vitro immunizations by T-dependent or T-independent antigens can be modulated by muramyl dipeptide (MDP). Enhancement or suppression of the antibody responses was observed according to the spleen-cell concentrations. Data presented here show that MDP can also suppress the immune response in vivo if used at relatively high dosage and injected before the antigen (SRBC). In vitro generation of cytotoxic T-lymphocyte recovered from mice which had been treated by MDP under the same experimental conditions was also decreased whereas macrophage cytostatic activity was not affected. By MDP pretreatment, a significant increase of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity was observed. 相似文献

Although the basis for the high mortality rate for patients with mixed bacterial infections is likely to be multifactorial, there is evidence for a synergistic effect of muramyldipeptide (MDP) with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines by mononuclear phagocytes. In this study, co-incubation of human Mono Mac 6 cells with MDP and either LPS or peptidoglycan (PGN) resulted in an apparent synergistic effect on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) secretion. Although incubation of cells with MDP alone produced minimal TNF-alpha, it caused significant expression of TNF-alpha mRNA. These findings suggest that the majority of TNF-alpha mRNA induced by MDP alone is not translated into protein. Furthermore, simultaneous incubation of cells with MDP and either LPS or PGN resulted in TNF-alpha mRNA expression that approximated the sum of the amounts expressed in response to MDP, LPS, and PGN individually. These findings indicate that the apparent synergistic effect of MDP on TNF-alpha production induced by either LPS or PGN is due to removal of a block in translation of the mRNA expressed in response to MDP. In subsequent studies, the effects of MDP alone and its effect on the production of TNF-alpha by LPS and PGN were determined to be independent of CD14, Toll-like receptor 2, and Toll-like receptor 4. These findings indicate that MDP acts through receptor(s) other than those primarily responsible for transducing the effects of LPS and PGN. Successful treatment of patients having mixed bacterial infections is likely to require interventions that address the mechanisms involved in responses induced by a variety of bacterial cell wall components. 相似文献

Specific anti-dinitrophenyl (DNP) response to DNP-conjugated L-glutamine60-L-alanine30-L-tyrosine10 (DNP-GAT) was obtained in GAT-responder mice by using synthetic N-acetylmuramyl-L-alanyl-D-isoglutamine (MDP) as adjuvant. Significant levels of anti-DNP antibodies were observed during a secondary response to DNP-GAT, when both antigen and MDP were used for priming. In this system, MDP was able to prime the carrier-specific T cells but not the hapten specific B cells. The study of the isotypic pattern of the anti-DNP response shows that MDP stimulates only the appearance of specific anti-DNP IgG1 plaque-forming cells. Anti-DNP plaque-forming cells were stimulated in animals primed with DNP-GAT in Freund's complete adjuvant or in Maalox-pertussis and used as control IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b. 相似文献

Immunological activities of muramyl peptides 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
Muramyl peptides are endowed with numerous modulatory effects on the immune and nervous systems. Studies with synthetic muramyl dipeptide (MDP), the smallest unit of bacterial cell walls that can replace Mycobacteria in Freund's complete adjuvant, revealed that this glycopeptide can regulate several functions of cells involved in the immune response. The adjuvanticity of MDP and the MDP-induced activation of macrophages against tumors were found to be potentiated in vitro and in vivo with monoclonal anti-MDP antibodies. When used on immunoadsorbent columns, the anti-MDP antibodies removed the somnogenic and pyrogenic activities contained in supernatants of stimulated rabbit peritoneal macrophages. Based on these data a hypothesis is put forward to explain the immuno- and neuro-modulatory effects of muramyl peptides. 相似文献

Activation of human NK cells by the bacterial pathogen-associated molecular pattern muramyl dipeptide 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Muramyl dipeptide (MDP) is a bacterial pathogen associated molecular pattern derived from both Gram-positive and -negative bacteria. It is a specific ligand for nuclear oligomerization domain 2, a pattern recognition receptor best characterized for its role in immunosurveillance in the gut. In this study, we demonstrate that human peripheral blood NK cells express nuclear oligomerization domain 2 and respond to MDP. NK cells naturally internalize MDP leading to direct cell activation, including signaling through NFkappaB: characterized by p50/p65 heterodimers at early stimulations times and sustained activation of p50 homodimers. Moreover, MDP synergizes with IFN-alpha and IL-12 to activate NK cells and stimulate IFN-gamma secretion, suggesting a role for accessory cells in induction of an optimal NK cell response. Although IL-12 costimulation leads to a greater IFN-gamma response by NK cells, higher levels of CD69 in response to MDP are induced in the presence of IFN-alpha, suggesting that different pathogen-induced cytokine profiles will affect downstream NK cell responses. In contrast, MDP alone or in combination with either IFN-alpha or IL-12 only poorly increases NK cell cytotoxicity. In summary, this report identifies MDP as a bacterial pathogen associated molecular pattern that activates human NK cells. 相似文献

The ability of the Movement Deviation Profile (MDP) and Gait Deviation Index (GDI) to detect gait changes was compared in a child with cerebral palsy who underwent game training. Conventional gait analysis showed that sagittal plane angles became mirrored about normality after training. Despite considerable gait changes, the GDI showed minimal change, while the MDP detected a difference equal to a shift between 10-9 on the Functional Assessment Questionnaire scale. Responses of the GDI and MDP were examined during a synthetic transition of the patient's curves from before intervention to a state mirrored about normality. The GDI showed a symmetric response on the two opposite sides of normality but the neural network based MDP gave an asymmetric response reflecting faithfully the unequal biomechanical consequences of joint angle changes. In conclusion, the MDP can detect altered gait even if the changes are missed by the GDI. 相似文献

A synthetic N-acetylmuramyl-l-alanyl-d-isoglutamine or muramyl dipeptide (MDP) and adjuvant-active analogs, but not lipopolysaccharide (LPS), exhibited the augmenting effect on the proliferative response of thymocytes to phytohemagglutinin (PHA). MDP also had a comitogenic effect on PHA-stimulated T lymphocytes. It was shown that the thymocyte-stimulating effect of MDP is not through the production of the monokines by MDP-stimulated macrophages and that MDP has a direct action on lymphocytes. 相似文献

Nod2 is an intracellular innate immune receptor that plays a role in host defense and susceptibility to inflammatory disease. We show in this study that macrophages rendered refractory to TLR4 and Nod2 signaling by exposure to LPS and muramyl dipeptide (MDP) exhibit impaired TNF-alpha and IL-6 production in response to pathogenic Listeria monocytogenes and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis as well as commensal bacteria including Escherichia coli and Bacteroides fragilis. Surprisingly, Nod2 deficiency was associated with impaired tolerization in response to pathogenic and commensal bacteria. Mechanistically, reduced tolerization of Nod2-null macrophages was mediated by recognition of bacteria through Nod1 because it was abolished in macrophages deficient in Nod1 and Nod2. Consistently, Nod2-null macrophages tolerant to LPS and MDP showed enhanced production of TNF-alpha and IL-6 as well as increased NF-kappaB and MAPK activation in response to the dipeptide KF1B, the Nod1 agonist. Furthermore, reduced tolerization of Nod2-deficient macrophages in response to bacteria was abolished when mutant macrophages were also rendered tolerant to the Nod1 ligand. Finally, MDP stimulation induced refractoriness not only to MDP, but also to iE-DAP stimulation, providing a mechanism to explain the reduced tolerization of Nod2-deficient macrophages infected with bacteria. These results demonstrate that cross-tolerization between Nod1 and Nod2 leads to increase recognition of both pathogenic and commensal bacteria in Nod2-deficient macrophages pre-exposed to microbial ligands. 相似文献

Muramyl dipeptide (MDP) is believed to interact with an innate immune receptor, Nod2. To identify the cellular receptor for MDP, we have synthesized biotinylated MDP isomers and tested the ability of these compounds to activate Nod2 in a cell-based assay. We found that the modification of MDP does not perturb its ability to activate Nod2. These tagged versions of MDP will be useful to identify the cellular receptor of the immunostimulatory molecules. 相似文献

The internalization of Borrelia burgdorferi, the causative agent of Lyme disease, by phagocytes is essential for an effective activation of the immune response to this pathogen. The intracellular, cytosolic receptor Nod2 has been shown to play varying roles in either enhancing or attenuating inflammation in response to different infectious agents. We examined the role of Nod2 in responses to B. burgdorferi. In vitro stimulation of Nod2 deficient bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDM) resulted in decreased induction of multiple cytokines, interferons and interferon regulated genes compared with wild-type cells. However, B. burgdorferi infection of Nod2 deficient mice resulted in increased rather than decreased arthritis and carditis compared to control mice. We explored multiple potential mechanisms for the paradoxical response in in vivo versus in vitro systems and found that prolonged stimulation with a Nod2 ligand, muramyl dipeptide (MDP), resulted in tolerance to stimulation by B. burgdorferi. This tolerance was lost with stimulation of Nod2 deficient cells that cannot respond to MDP. Cytokine patterns in the tolerance model closely paralleled cytokine profiles in infected Nod2 deficient mice. We propose a model where Nod2 has an enhancing role in activating inflammation in early infection, but moderates inflammation after prolonged exposure to the organism through induction of tolerance. 相似文献

The innate immune system serves as the first line of defense by detecting microbes and initiating inflammatory responses. Although both Toll-like receptor (TLR) and nucleotide binding domain and leucine-rich repeat (NLR) proteins are important for this process, their excessive activation is hazardous to hosts; thus, tight regulation is required. Endotoxin tolerance is refractory to repeated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) stimulation and serves as a host defense mechanism against septic shock caused by an excessive TLR4 response during Gram-negative bacterial infection. Gram-positive bacteria as well as their cell wall components also induce shock. However, the mechanism underlying tolerance is not understood. Here, we show that activation of Nod2 by its ligand, muramyl dipeptide (MDP) in the bacterial cell wall, induces rapid degradation of Nod2, which confers MDP tolerance in vitro and in vivo. Nod2 is constitutively associated with a chaperone protein, Hsp90, which is required for Nod2 stability and protects Nod2 from degradation. Upon MDP stimulation, Hsp90 rapidly dissociates from Nod2, which subsequently undergoes ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation. The SOCS-3 protein induced by Nod2 activation further facilitates this degradation process. Therefore, Nod2 protein stability is a key factor in determining responsiveness to MDP stimulation. This indicates that TLRs and NLRs induce a tolerant state through distinct molecular mechanisms that protect the host from septic shock. 相似文献

Peritoneal macrophages (PM) of Wistar rats harvested after the intraperitoneal injection of paraffin oil were destroyed by repeated freezing-thawing. When injected intratracheally to control rats or to those after 4 daily exposured to TiO2 dust, these macrophage destruction products (MDP) caused a significant rise of both the alveolar macrophages (AM) and the neutrophilic leukocytes (NL) counts in the pulmonary washing-outs; the mean NL/AM ratio increased several times as compared to rats injected with normal saline intratracheally. Thus, the response to the inert dust particles plus the exogenous MDP became similar to the one observed after the cytotoxic (for instance silica) particles inhalation. Enhancing the NL contribution to the inhaled particles phagocytosis, the MDP led to a significant decrease of the mean "Dust load" of a single AM, although the total number of the engulfed particles increased. The predominant attraction of granulocytes and particularly of the NL as compared to the peritoneal macrophages was also found in the peritoneal exudates of rats injected with the MDP or silica suspension intraperitoneally, while the alveolar phagocytosis was not influenced. In vitro the MDP was shown to stimulate the NL migration and to facilitate the O2 consumption by PM. A possible role of the MDP as a multipotent controlling factor of phagocytosis response is briefly discussed. 相似文献
