We previously reported that Vbeta3+ CD4+ T cells maintained a protracted expansion, with the phenotypes of memory Th2 cells, for 30 days in C57BL/6 (B6) mice implanted with SEA-containing mini-osmotic pumps. In the present study, we followed the fate of Vbeta3+ CD4+ T cells in CD28-/- mice. Vbeta3+ CD4+ T cells increased to a degree similar to that of B6 Vbeta3+ CD4+ T cells until day 10 after implantation, then declined rapidly reaching the control level by 28 days. Remaining Vbeta3+ CD4+ T cells at that time did not exhibit memory phenotypes nor Th2-deviated responses. The rapid drop in Vbeta3+ CD4+ T cells in CD28-/- mice was attributable to upregulated induction of apoptosis owing to marginal inductions of Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL. Collectively, these data indicate CD28 to play critical roles in the generation and maintenance of SEA-reactive CD4+ T cells in vivo. 相似文献

Effector memory T cells (T(EM)) have an important role in immunity against infection. However, little is known about the factors regulating T(EM) maintenance and proliferation. In this study, we investigated the role of direct interactions between CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells (TC) for human T(EM) expansion. Proliferation of separated or mixed CD4(+) and CD8(+)T(EM) populations was analyzed after polyclonal stimulation in vitro. Compared to each isolated subset mixed T(EM) populations showed increased proliferation and expansion of both CD4(+) and CD8(+)T(EM) subpopulations. Combined activation of CD4(+) and CD8(+) memory T cells (Tmem) induced an increased expression of CD40L and CD40 on both populations. Subsequently, CD40/CD40L caused a bi-directional stimulation of CD40(+)CD4(+)T(EM) by CD40L(+)CD8(+)T(EM) and of CD40(+)CD8(+)T(EM) by CD40L(+)CD4(+)T(EM). Blocking of CD40L on activated CD8(+)T(EM) selectively inhibited proliferation of CD4(+)T(EM), while blocking of CD40L on CD4(+)T(EM) abrogated proliferation of CD8(+)T(EM). Taken together, we demonstrate for the first time that the expression of CD40L is exploited on the one hand by CD8(+)T(EM) to increase the proliferation of activated CD4(+)T(EM) and on the other hand by CD4(+)T(EM) to support the expansion of activated CD8(+)T(EM). Thus, efficient T(EM) expansion requires bi-directional interactions between CD4(+) and CD8(+)T(EM) cells. 相似文献

In this study we examined the immunological parameters underlying the natural immunity to inhaled nonpathogenic proteins. We addressed this question by examining the effect of intranasal exposure to OVA in both wild-type mice and mice reconstituted with OVA-TCR transgenic CD4+ T cells. Intranasal administration of OVA induced an initial phase of activation during which CD4+ T cells were capable of proliferating and producing cytokines. Although many of the OVA-specific CD4+ T cells were subsequently depleted from the lymphoid organs, a stable population of such T cells survived but remained refractory to antigenic rechallenge. The unresponsive state was not associated with immune deviation due to selective secretion of Th1- or Th2-type cytokines, and the presence of regulatory CD8+ T cells was not required. Moreover, neutralization of the immunosuppressive cytokines IL-10 and TGF-beta did not abrogate the induction of tolerance. Inhibition of the interaction of T cells with CD86, but not CD80, at the time of exposure to intranasal Ag prevented the development of unresponsiveness, while selective blockade of CTLA-4 had no effect. Our results suggest that intranasal exposure to Ags results in immunological tolerance mediated by functionally impaired CD4+ T cells via a costimulatory pathway that requires CD86. 相似文献

The immunopathogenesis of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is poorly understood. Here, we have used MRL/MpJ mice, a model of spontaneous AIP, to address the role of cellular autoimmune processes in the initiation and progression of the disease. Therefore, different T cell subpopulations were adoptively transferred from sick to still healthy (but susceptible) MRL/MpJ mice. Unpurified splenocytes and CD3+ T cells both efficiently induced AIP, while CD4+ and CD8+ T cells alone, as well as splenocytes from healthy mice, were insufficient to trigger the disease. Strikingly, CD4+CD44high memory T cells, although transferred at lower numbers than other T cells, also induced AIP in recipient mice. Employing a modified experimental design, we also evaluated the effects of regulatory T cells (Tregs) on the progression of AIP in already diseased mice. Under the given experimental conditions, there was no significant suppressive effect of adoptively transferred Tregs on pancreatic histopathology. The results of our studies suggest a key role of T cell‐mediated processes in murine AIP. The effects of CD4+CD44high memory T cells are in accordance with genetic studies of our group, which had previously implicated this cell type into the pathogenesis of AIP. In follow‐up studies, we will focus on the interplay of cellular and humoral autoimmunity in the context of AIP. 相似文献

Naturally arising CD4+CD25+ regulatory T (T(R)) cells have been shown to prevent and cure murine T cell-mediated colitis. However, their exact mechanism of controlling colitogenic memory CD4+ T cells in in vivo systems excluding the initial process of naive T cell activation and differentiation has not been examined to date. Using the colitogenic effector memory (T(EM)) CD4+ cell-mediated colitis model induced by adoptive transfer of colitogenic CD4+CD44(high)CD62L(-) lamina propria (LP) T cells obtained from colitic CD4+CD45RB(high) T cell-transferred mice, we have shown in the present study that CD4+CD25+ T(R) cells are able not only to suppress the development of colitis, Th1 cytokine production, and the expansion of colitogenic LP CD4+ T(EM) cells but also to expand these cells by themselves extensively in vivo. An in vitro coculture assay revealed that CD4+CD25+ T(R) cells proliferated in the presence of IL-2-producing colitogenic LP CD4+ T(EM) cells at the early time point (48 h after culture), followed by the acquisition of suppressive activity at the late time point (96 h after culture). Collectively, these data suggest the distinct timing of the IL-2-dependent expansion of CD4+CD25+ T(R) cells and the their suppressive activity on colitogenic LP CD4+ T(EM) cells. 相似文献

The long-term exposure of mice to superantigen SEA using a mini-osmotic pump (SEA pump) induced a long-lasting expansion of Vβ3+CD4+ T cells with T helper (Th) 2 cell-type properties. Removal of the SEA pump 10 days after pump implantation did not significantly alter the level of Vβ3+CD4+ T cell expansion/maintenance. Furthermore, CFSE-labeled CD4+ T cells failed to divide when transferred to post-implantation day 15 mice. Thus, CD4+ T cells appeared to survive for at least 30 days in the absence of a sufficient amount of antigen to trigger cell division. STAT6 deficient mice, in which Th2 cell development is largely impaired, also exhibited a protracted cell expansion, similar to that observed in normal mice, suggesting that the Th2 cell property is dispensable for the maintenance of Vβ3+CD4+ T cell expansion. The expanded CD4+ T cells on post-implantation day 26 were arrested in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle and showed a lower level of cell division upon restimulation. The Cdk inhibitor p27Kip1 was highly expressed, and Cdk2 was downregulated. Moreover, the CD4+ T cells were resistant to in vitro apoptosis induction in parallel with their level of Bcl-2 expression. Collectively, the Vβ3+CD4+ T cells appeared to develop into long-lived memory T cells with cell cycle arrest upon long-term exposure to SEA. 相似文献

Programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) is expressed on T cells upon T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation. PD-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) is expressed in most tumor environments, and its binding to PD-1 on T cells drives them to apoptosis or into a regulatory phenotype. The fact that PD-L1 itself is also expressed on T cells upon activation has been largely neglected. Here, we demonstrate that PD-L1 ligation on human CD25-depleted CD4+ T cells, combined with CD3/TCR stimulation, induces their conversion into highly suppressive T cells. Furthermore, this effect was most prominent in memory (CD45RA−CD45RO+) T cells. PD-L1 engagement on T cells resulted in reduced ERK phosphorylation and decreased AKT/mTOR/S6 signaling. Importantly, T cells from rheumatoid arthritis patients exhibited high basal levels of phosphorylated ERK and following PD-L1 cross-linking both ERK signaling and the AKT/mTOR/S6 pathway failed to be down modulated, making them refractory to the acquisition of a regulatory phenotype. Altogether, our results suggest that PD-L1 signaling on memory T cells could play an important role in resolving inflammatory responses; maintaining a tolerogenic environment and its failure could contribute to ongoing autoimmunity.This study shows that programmed death cell receptor ligand 1 (PD-L1) signaling in memory CD4+ T cells from healthy individuals induces a regulatory phenotype; this mechanism seems to be defective in equivalent T cells from rheumatoid arthritis patients and could be in part responsible for the pathology. 相似文献

A deficiency of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (CD25+ Tregs) in lymphopenic mice can result in the onset of autoimmune gastritis. The gastric H/K ATPase alpha (H/Kalpha) and beta (H/Kbeta) subunits are the immunodominant autoantigens recognized by effector CD4+ T cells in autoimmune gastritis. The mechanism by which CD25+ Tregs suppress autoimmune gastritis in lymphopenic mice is poorly understood. To investigate the antigenic requirements for the genesis and survival of gastritis-protecting CD25+ Tregs, we analyzed mice deficient in H/Kbeta and H/Kalpha, as well as a transgenic mouse line (H/Kbeta-tsA58 Tg line 224) that lacks differentiated gastric epithelial cells. By adoptive transfer of purified T cell populations to athymic mice, we show that the CD25+ Treg population from mice deficient in either one or both of H/Kalpha and H/Kbeta, or from the H/Kbeta-tsA58 Tg line 224 mice, is equally effective in suppressing the ability of polyclonal populations of effector CD4+ T cells to induce autoimmune gastritis. Furthermore, CD25+ Tregs, from either wild-type or H/Kalpha-deficient mice, dramatically reduced the expansion of pathogenic H/Kalpha-specific TCR transgenic T cells and the induction of autoimmune gastritis in athymic recipient mice. Proliferation of H/Kalpha-specific T cells in lymphopenic hosts occurs predominantly in the paragastric lymph node and was dependent on the presence of the cognate H/Kalpha Ag. Collectively, these studies demonstrate that the gastritis-protecting CD25+ Tregs do not depend on the major gastric Ags for their thymic development or their survival in the periphery, and that CD25+ Tregs inhibit the Ag-specific expansion of pathogenic T cells in vivo. 相似文献

We have previously demonstrated that mucosal CD4(+) T cells expressing high levels of IL-7 receptor (IL-7R(high)) are pathogenic cells responsible for chronic colitis. Here we investigate whether IL-7 is directly involved in the expansion of IL-7R(high) memory CD4(+) mucosal T cells and the exacerbation of colitis. We first showed that CD4(+) lamina propria lymphocytes (LPLs) from wild-type, T cell receptor-alpha-deficient (TCR-alpha(-/-)), and recombinase-activating gene (RAG)-2(-/-)-transferred mice with or without colitis showed phenotypes of memory cells, but only CD4(+) LPLs from colitic mice showed IL-7R(high). In vitro stimulation by IL-7, but not by IL-15 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin, enhanced significant proliferative responses and survival of colitic CD4(+), but not normal CD4(+) LPLs. Importantly, in vivo administration of IL-7 mice accelerated the expansion of IL-7R(high) memory CD4(+) LPLs and thereby exacerbated chronic colitis in RAG-2(-/-) mice transferred with CD4(+) LPLs from colitic TCR-alpha(-/-) mice. Conversely, the administration of anti-IL-7R monoclonal antibody significantly inhibited the development of TCR-alpha(-/-) colitis with decreased expansion of CD4(+) LPLs. Collectively, the present data indicate that IL-7 is essential for the expansion of pathogenic memory CD4(+) T cells under pathological conditions. Therefore, therapeutic approaches targeting the IL-7R pathway may be feasible in the treatment of human inflammatory bowel disease. 相似文献

CD25+ CD4+ T cells regulate the expansion of peripheral CD4 T cells through the production of IL-10 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

The mechanisms by which the immune system achieves constant T cell numbers throughout life, thereby controlling autoaggressive cell expansions, are to date not completely understood. Here, we show that the CD25(+) subpopulation of naturally activated (CD45RB(low)) CD4 T cells, but not CD25(-) CD45RB(low) CD4 T cells, inhibits the accumulation of cotransferred CD45RB(high) CD4 T cells in lymphocyte-deficient mice. However, both CD25(+) and CD25(-) CD45RB(low) CD4 T cell subpopulations contain regulatory cells, since they can prevent naive CD4 T cell-induced wasting disease. In the absence of a correlation between disease and the number of recovered CD4(+) cells, we conclude that expansion control and disease prevention are largely independent processes. CD25(+) CD45RB(low) CD4 T cells from IL-10-deficient mice do not protect from disease. They accumulate to a higher cell number and cannot prevent the expansion of CD45RB(high) CD4 T cells upon transfer compared with their wild-type counterparts. Although CD25(+) CD45RB(low) CD4 T cells are capable of expanding when transferred in vivo, they reach a homeostatic equilibrium at lower cell numbers than CD25(-) CD45RB(low) or CD45RB(high) CD4 T cells. We conclude that CD25(+) CD45RB(low) CD4 T cells from nonmanipulated mice control the number of peripheral CD4 T cells through a mechanism involving the production of IL-10 by regulatory T cells. 相似文献

CD4+ helper T cells are critical orchestrators of immune responses to infection and vaccination. During primary responses, naïve CD8+ T cells may need “CD4 help” for optimal development of memory populations. The immunological factors attributed to CD4 help depend on the context of immunization and vary depending on the priming system. In response to immunization with radiation-attenuated Plasmodium yoelii sporozoites, CD8+ T cells in BALB/c mice fail to generate large numbers of effector cells without help from CD4+ T cells – a defect not observed in most systems. Given this unique early dependence on CD4 help, we evaluated the effects of CD4+ cells on the development of functional properties of CD8+ T cells and on their ability to abolish infection. First, we determined that this effect was not mediated by CD4+ non-T cells and did not involve CD1d-restricted NKT cells. We found that CD8+ T cells induced by sporozoites without CD4 help formed memory populations severely reduced in magnitude that could not limit parasite development in the liver. The inability of these “helpless” memory T cells to protect is not a result of defects in effector function, as their capacity to produce cytokines and undergo cytotoxic degranulation was indistinguishable from control memory T cells. These data indicate that CD4+ T help may not be necessary to develop the functional attributes of CD8+ T cells; however they are crucial to ensure the survival of effector and memory cells induced in primary responses. 相似文献

Stimulation via the CD3 and CD28 molecules induces responsiveness to IL-4 in CD4+CD29+CD45R- memory T lymphocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Although both IL-2 and IL-4 can promote the growth of activated T cells, IL-4 appears to selectively promote the growth of those helper/inducer and cytolytic T cells which have been activated via their CD3/TCR complex. The present study examines the participation of CD28 and certain other T cell-surface molecules in inducing T cell responsiveness to IL-4. Purified small high density T cells were cultured in the absence of accessory cells with various soluble anti-human T cell mAb with or without soluble anti-CD3 mAb and their responsiveness to IL-4 was studied. None of the soluble anti-T cell mAb alone was able to induce T cell proliferation in response to IL-4. A combination of soluble anti-CD3 with anti-CD28 mAb but not with mAb directed at the CD2, CD5, CD7, CD11a/CD18, or class I MHC molecules induced T cell proliferation in response to IL-4. Anti-CD2 and anti-CD5 mAb enhanced and anti-CD18 mAb inhibited this anti-CD3 + anti-CD28 mAb-induced T cell response to IL-4. In addition, anti-CD2 in combination with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 mAb induced modest levels of T cell proliferation even in the absence of exogenous cytokines. IL-1, IL-6, and TNF were each unable to replace either anti-CD3 or anti-CD28 mAb in the induction of T cell responsiveness to IL-4, but both IL-1 and TNF enhanced this response. The anti-CD3 + anti-CD28 mAb-induced response to IL-4 was exhibited only by cells within the CD4+CD29+CD45R- memory T subpopulation, and not by CD8+ or CD4+CD45R+ naive T cells. When individually cross-linked with goat anti-mouse IgG antibody immobilized on plastic surface, only anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 mAb were able to induce T cell proliferation. These results indicate that the CD3 and CD28 molecules play a crucial role in inducing T cell responsiveness to IL-4 and that the CD2, CD5, and CD11a/CD18 molecules influence this process. 相似文献

The impact of exposure to Ag on the development and maintenance of human CD4(+) memory T cells in general and HIV infection in particular is partially understood. In this study, we measured HIV-specific CD4(+) T cell proliferative responses against HIV proteins and derived peptides one year after highly active antiretroviral therapy initiation in 39 HIV-infected patients who initiated therapy at different times following infection. We show that a brief exposure to HIV of <1 month does not allow the generation of significant detectable frequencies of HIV-specific CD4(+) memory T cells. Patients having prolonged cumulative exposure to high viral load due to therapy failures also demonstrated limited HIV-specific CD4(+) T cell responses. In contrast, patients exposed to significant levels of virus for periods ranging from 3 to 18 mo showed brisk and broad HIV-specific CD4(+) T cell responses 1 year following the onset of therapy intervention. We also demonstrate that the nadir CD4(+) T cell count before therapy initiation correlated positively with the breadth and magnitude of these responses. Our findings indicate that the loss of proliferative HIV-specific CD4(+) T cell responses is associated with the systemic progression of the disease and that a brief exposure to HIV does not allow the establishment of detectable frequencies of HIV-specific memory CD4(+) T cells. 相似文献

Age-associated change in the frequency of memory CD4+ T cells impairs long term CD4+ T cell responses to influenza vaccine 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

We investigated the relationship of memory CD4+ T cells with the evolution of influenza virus-specific CD4+ T cell responses in healthy young and elderly people. Elderly individuals had a similar frequency of CD69+CD4+ T cells producing IFN-gamma and TNF-alpha at 1 wk, but a lower frequency of these CD4+ T cells at 3 mo after influenza vaccination. Although the elderly had a higher frequency of central memory (CM; CCR7+CD45RA-) CD4+ T cells, they had a significantly lower frequency of effector memory (EM; CCR7-CD45RA-) CD4+ T cells, and the frequency of the latter memory CD4+ T cells positively correlated with the frequency of influenza virus-specific CD69+CD4+ T cells producing IFN-gamma at 3 mo. These findings indicate that the elderly have an altered balance of memory CD4+ T cells, which potentially affects long term CD4+ T cell responses to the influenza vaccine. Compared with the young, the elderly had decreased serum IL-7 levels that positively correlated with the frequency of EM cells, which suggests a relation between IL-7 and decreased EM cells. Thus, although the healthy elderly mount a level of CD4+ T cell responses after vaccination comparable to that observed in younger individuals, they fail to maintain or expand these responses. This failure probably stems from the alteration in the frequency of CM and EM CD4+ T cells in the elderly that is related to alteration in IL-7 levels. These findings raise an important clinical question about whether the vaccination strategy in the elderly should be modified to improve cellular immune responses. 相似文献

Upon adoptive transfer into histocompatible mice, naive CD8(+) T cells stimulated ex vivo by TCR+IL-4 turn into long-lived functional memory cells. The liver contains a large number of so formed memory CD8(+) T cells, referred to as liver memory T cells (T(lm)) in the form of cell clusters. The CD62L(low) expression and nonlymphoid tissue distribution of T(lm) cells are similar to effector memory (T(em)) cells, yet their deficient cytotoxicity and IFN-γ inducibility are unlike T(em) cells. Adoptive transfer of admixtures of TCR+IL-4-activated Vβ8(+) and Vβ5(+) CD8(+) T cells into congenic hosts reveals T(lm) clusters that are composed of all Vβ5(+) or Vβ8(+), not mixed Vβ5(+)/Vβ8(+) cells, indicating that T(lm) clusters are formed by clonal expansion. Clonally expanded CD8(+) T cell clusters are also seen in the liver of Listeria monocytogenes-immune mice. T(lm) clusters closely associate with hepatic stellate cells and their formation is IL-15/IL-15R-dependent. CD62L(low) T(LM) cells can home to the liver and secondary lymphoid tissues, remain CD62L(low), or acquire central memory (T(cm))-characteristic CD62L(hi) expression. Our findings show the liver as a major site of CD8(+) memory T cell growth and that T(lm) cells contribute to the pool of peripheral memory cells. These previously unappreciated T(lm) characteristics indicate the inadequacy of the current T(em)/T(cm) classification scheme and help ongoing efforts aimed at establishing a unifying memory T cell development pathway. Lastly, our finding of T(lm) clusters suggests caution against interpreting focal lymphocyte infiltration in clinical settings as pathology and not normal physiology. 相似文献

Impaired clonal expansion in athymic nude CD8+CD4- T cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

A comparative study of the phenotype and immune functions of highly purified CD8+CD4- T cells obtained from the spleen and thymus of normal mice and from the spleen of athymic nude mice was conducted. Of seven individual normal and nude mice examined, the range of V beta 8+ cells among CD8+ T cells was a heterogeneous 4.3 to 30.5% for athymic nude mice and a much more uniform spread from 14.7 to 18.5% for normal mice. In six of the seven nude mice examined, the fraction of V beta 8+ cells was below the lower limit of the V beta 8 distribution in normal mice. However, one of the seven nude mice contained nearly twice the percentage of normal V beta 8+ cells. A reduction in the density of V beta 8 as well as CD3 Ag expression was also observed in athymic CD8+CD4- cells although an Ly-6-linked Ag, B4B2 displayed a highly increased expression. Considering the battery of Ag analyzed in entirety, athymic CD8+CD4- T cells were clearly distinct from their "counterpart" CD8+CD4- T cells isolated from either thymus or spleen of normal (euthymic) mice. Anti-CD3-mediated triggering of the TCR:CD3 complex caused extensive clonal proliferation in cultures to which single responding CD8+ T cells had been deposited. Under identical conditions, however, anti-CD3 caused little, if any clonal expansion in CD8+ cells from athymic nude mice. Highly purified athymic CD8+CD4- cells produced readily detectable IL-2R expression and IL-2 synthesis and secretion upon stimulation by anti-CD3 and by Con A. Production of IL-2 by purified athymic CD8+CD4- cells was due to CD8+CD4- cells and not due to a minor population of contaminating CD8- cells as anti-CD8 + C treatment completely abrogated the ability of athymic CD8+CD4- cells to produce IL-2. Despite IL-2 production and IL-2R expression by athymic nude CD8+CD4- T cells in response to anti-CD3 and to Con A, an impaired proliferative response followed. 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
