TNFR2 signaling modulates immunity after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) signaling through TNF receptor 2 (TNFR2) plays a complex immune regulatory role in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). TNF-α is rapidly released in the circulation after the conditioning regimen with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. It activates the function of donor alloreactive T cells and donor Natural Killer cells and promotes graft versus tumor effects. However, donor alloreactive T cells also attack host tissues and cause graft versus host disease (GVHD), a life-threatening complication of HCT. Indeed, anti-TNF-α therapy has been used to treat steroid-refractory GVHD. Recent studies have highlighted another role for TNFR2 signaling, as it enhances the function of immune cells with suppressive properties, in particular CD4+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs). Various clinical trials are employing Treg-based treatments to prevent or treat GVHD. The present review will discuss the effects of TNFR2 signaling in the setting of allogeneic HCT, the implications for the use of anti-TNF-α therapy to treat GVHD and the clinical perspectives of strategies that specifically target this pathway. 相似文献

Previous reports have suggested that human CD4+ CD25hiFOXP3+ T regulatory cells (Tregs) have functional plasticity and may differentiate into effector T cells under inflammation. The molecular mechanisms underlying these findings remain unclear. Here we identified the residue serine 422 of human FOXP3 as a phosphorylation site that regulates its function, which is not present in murine Foxp3. PIM1 kinase, which is highly expressed in human Tregs, was found to be able to interact with and to phosphorylate human FOXP3 at serine 422. T cell receptor (TCR) signaling inhibits PIM1 induction, whereas IL-6 promotes PIM1 expression in in vitro expanded human Tregs. PIM1 negatively regulates FOXP3 chromatin binding activity by specifically phosphorylating FOXP3 at Ser422. Our data also suggest that phosphorylation of FOXP3 at the Ser418 site could prevent FOXP3 phosphorylation at Ser422 mediated by PIM1. Knockdown of PIM1 in in vitro expanded human Tregs promoted FOXP3-induced target gene expression, including CD25, CTLA4, and glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor (GITR), or weakened FOXP3-suppressed IL-2 gene expression and enhanced the immunosuppressive activity of Tregs. Furthermore, PIM1-specific inhibitor boosted FOXP3 DNA binding activity in in vitro expanded primary Tregs and also enhanced their suppressive activity toward the proliferation of T effector cells. Taken together, our findings suggest that PIM1 could be a new potential therapeutic target in the prevention and treatment of human-specific autoimmune diseases because of its ability to modulate the immunosuppressive activity of human Tregs. 相似文献

Mouse studies demonstrated that infusion of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) prevented graft versus host disease (GVHD) lethality after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). But the potential impact of human Tregs on GVHD has not been well demonstrated. In this study, we demonstrated that human Tregs enriched from peripheral blood of healthy donors could be expanded ex vivo to clinically relevant cell numbers in 2-3 weeks while maintaining Foxp3, CD25, CTLA-4, and CD62L expression as well as in vitro suppressive function. Furthermore, injection of human PBL into NOD/SCID mice induced lethal xenogenic GVHD, but co-transfer of expanded human Tregs with human PBL significantly enhanced survival, reduced GVHD symptoms, and inhibited human IgG/IgM production in the NOD/SCID mice. These results demonstrated that ex vivo expanded human Tregs retained their in vivo suppressive activity and prevented lethal xenogeneic GVHD, revealing the therapeutic potential of expanded human Tregs for GVHD. 相似文献

Background aims
The immunomodulatory property of mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) exosomes is well documented. On the basis of our previous report that MSC exosomes increased regulatory T-cell (Treg) production in mice with allogenic skin graft but not in ungrafted mice, we hypothesize that an activated immune system is key to exosome-mediated Treg production.Methods
To test our hypothesis, MSC exosomes were incubated with mouse spleen CD4+ T cells that were activated with either anti-CD3/CD28 mAbs or allogenic antigen-presenting cell (APC)-enriched spleen CD11c+ cells to determine whether production of mouse CD4+CD25+ T cells or CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs could be induced. MSC exosomes were also administered to the lethal chimeric human-SCID mouse model of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in which human peripheral blood mononuclear cells were infused into irradiated NSG mice to induce GVHD.Results
We report here that MSC exosome–induced production of CD4+CD25+ T cells or CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs from CD4+ T cells activated by allogeneic APC-enriched CD11C+ cells but not those activated by anti-CD3/CD28 mAbs. This induction was exosome- and APC dose–dependent. In the mouse GVHD model in which GVHD was induced by transplanted human APC-stimulated human anti-mouse CD4+ T cell effectors, MSC exosome alleviated GVHD symptoms and increased survival. Surviving exosome-treated mice had a significantly higher level of human CD4+CD25+CD127low/– Tregs than surviving mice treated with Etanercept, a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor.Conclusions
MSC exosome enhanced Treg production in vitro and in vivo through an APC-mediated pathway. 相似文献6.

Background
The inflammatory response is prominent in the pathogenesis of dermal leishmaniasis. We hypothesized that regulatory T cells (Tregs) may be diminished in chronic dermal leishmaniasis (CDL) and contribute to healing during treatment.Methodology/Principal Findings
The frequency and functional capacity of Tregs were evaluated at diagnosis and following treatment of CDL patients having lesions of ≥6 months duration and asymptomatically infected residents of endemic foci. The frequency of CD4+CD25hi cells expressing Foxp3 or GITR or lacking expression of CD127 in peripheral blood was determined by flow cytometry. The capacity of CD4+CD25+ cells to inhibit Leishmania-specific responses was determined by co-culture with effector CD4+CD25− cells. The expression of FOXP3, IFNG, IL10 and IDO was determined in lesion and leishmanin skin test site biopsies by qRT-PCR. Although CDL patients presented higher frequency of CD4+CD25hiFoxp3+ cells in peripheral blood and higher expression of FOXP3 at leishmanin skin test sites, their CD4+CD25+ cells were significantly less capable of suppressing antigen specific-IFN-γ secretion by effector cells compared with asymptomatically infected individuals. At the end of treatment, both the frequency of CD4+CD25hiCD127− cells and their capacity to inhibit proliferation and IFN-γ secretion increased and coincided with healing of cutaneous lesions. IDO was downregulated during healing of lesions and its expression was positively correlated with IFNG but not FOXP3.Conclusions/Significance
The disparity between CD25hiFoxp3+ CD4 T cell frequency in peripheral blood, Foxp3 expression at the site of cutaneous responses to leishmanin, and suppressive capacity provides evidence of impaired Treg function in the pathogenesis of CDL. Moreover, the concurrence of increased Leishmania-specific suppressive capacity with induction of a CD25hiCD127− subset of CD4 T cells during healing supports the participation of Tregs in the resolution of chronic dermal lesions. Treg subsets may therefore be relevant in designing immunotherapeutic strategies for recalcitrant dermal leishmaniasis caused by Leishmania (Viannia) species. 相似文献9.

Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) induced by host antigen-presenting cells (APCs) and donor-derived T cells remains the major limitation of allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT). Notch signaling pathway is a highly conserved cell-cell communication that is important in T cell development. Recently, Notch signaling pathway is reported to be involved in regulating GVHD. To investigate the role of Notch inhibition in modulating GVHD, we established MHC-mismatched murine allo-BMT model. We found that inhibition of Notch signaling pathway by γ-secretase inhibitor in vivo could reduce aGVHD, which was shown by the onset time of aGVHD, body weight, clinical aGVHD scores, pathology aGVHD scores, and survival. Inhibition of Notch signaling pathway by DAPT ex vivo only reduced pathology aGVHD scores in the liver and intestine and had no impact on the onset time and clinical aGVHD scores. We investigated the possible mechanism by analyzing the phenotype of host APCs and donor-derived T cells. Notch signaling pathway had a broad effect on both host APCs and donor-derived T cells. The expressions of CD11c, CD40, and CD86 as the markers of activated dendritic cells (DCs) were decreased. The proliferative response of CD8+ T cell decreased, while CD4+ Notch-deprived T cells had preserved expansion with increased expressions of CD25 and Foxp3 as markers of regulatory T cells (Tregs). In conclusion, Notch inhibition may minimize aGVHD by decreasing proliferation and activation of DCs and CD8+ T cells while preserving Tregs expansion. 相似文献

Regulatory T (Treg) cells expressing forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) arise during thymic selection among thymocytes with modestly self-reactive T cell receptors. In vitro studies suggest Foxp3 can also be induced among peripheral CD4+ T cells in a cytokine dependent manner. Treg cells of thymic or peripheral origin may serve different functions in vivo, but both populations are phenotypically indistinguishable in wild-type mice. Here we show that mice with a Carma1 point mutation lack thymic CD4+Foxp3+ Treg cells and demonstrate a cell-intrinsic requirement for CARMA1 in thymic Foxp3 induction. However, peripheral Carma1-deficient Treg cells could be generated and expanded in vitro in response to the cytokines transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) and interleukin-2 (IL-2). In vivo, a small peripheral Treg pool existed that was enriched at mucosal sites and could expand systemically after infection with mouse cytomegalovirus (MCMV). Our data provide genetic evidence for two distinct mechanisms controlling regulatory T cell lineage commitment. Furthermore, we show that peripheral Treg cells are a dynamic population that may expand to limit immunopathology or promote chronic infection. 相似文献

TGF-beta is a pluripotent cytokine that is capable of inducing the expression of Foxp3 in naive T lymphocytes. TGF-beta-induced cells are phenotypically similar to thymic-derived regulatory T cells in that they are anergic and suppressive. We have examined the cytokine and costimulatory molecule requirements for TGF-beta-mediated induction and maintenance of Foxp3 by CD4(+)Foxp3(-) cells. IL-2 plays a non-redundant role in TGF-beta-induced Foxp3 expression. Other common gamma-chain-utilizing cytokines were unable to induce Foxp3 expression in IL-2-deficient T cells. The role of CD28 in the induction of Foxp3 was solely related to its capacity to enhance the endogenous production of IL-2. Foxp3 expression was stable in vitro and in vivo in the absence of IL-2. As TGF-beta-induced T regulatory cells can be easily grown in vitro, they may prove useful for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, for the prevention of graft rejection, and graft versus host disease. 相似文献

The peripheral Foxp3+ Treg pool consists of naturally arising Treg (nTreg) and adaptive Treg cells (iTreg). It is well known that naive CD4+ T cells can be readily converted to Foxp3+ iTreg in vitro, and memory CD4+ T cells are resistant to conversion. In this study, we investigated the induction of Foxp3+ T cells from various CD4+ T-cell subsets in human peripheral blood. Though naive CD4+ T cells were readily converted to Foxp3+ T cells with TGF-β and IL-2 treatment in vitro, such Foxp3+ T cells did not express the memory marker CD45RO as do Foxp3+ T cells induced in the peripheral blood of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) patients. Interestingly, a subset of human memory CD4+ T cells, defined as CD62L+ central memory T cells, could be induced by TGF-β to differentiate into Foxp3+ T cells. It is well known that Foxp3+ T cells derived from human CD4+CD25- T cells in vitro are lack suppressive functions. Our data about the suppressive functions of CD4+CD62L+ central memory T cell-derived Foxp3+ T cells support this conception, and an epigenetic analysis of these cells showed a similar methylation pattern in the FOXP3 Treg-specific demethylated region as the naive CD4+ T cell-derived Foxp3+ T cells. But further research showed that mouse CD4+ central memory T cells also could be induced to differentiate into Foxp3+ T cells, such Foxp3+ T cells could suppress the proliferation of effector T cells. Thus, our study identified CD4+CD62L+ central memory T cells as a novel potential source of iTreg. 相似文献

The CD4+FOXP3+ regulatory T (Treg) cells are essential for maintaining immune homeostasis in healthy individuals. Results from clinical trials of Treg cell-based therapies in patients with graft versus host disease (GVHD), type 1 diabetes (T1D), liver transplantation, and kidney transplantation have demonstrated that adoptive transfer of Treg cells is emerging as a promising strategy to promote immune tolerance. Here we provide an overview of recent progresses and current challenges of Treg cell-based therapies. We summarize the completed and ongoing clinical trials with human Treg cells. Notably, a few of the chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-Treg cell therapies are currently undergoing clinical trials. Meanwhile, we describe the new strategies for engineering Treg cells used in preclinical studies. Finally, we envision that the use of novel synthetic receptors, metabolic regulators, combined therapies, and in vivo generated antigen-specific or engineered Treg cells through the delivery of modified mRNA and CRISPR-based gene editing will further promote the advances of next-generation Treg cell therapies. 相似文献

Donor CD8(+) T cells play a critical role in mediating graft-vs-leukemia (GVL) activity, but also induce graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) in recipients conditioned with total body irradiation (TBI). In this study, we report that injections of donor C57BL/6 (H-2(b)) or FVB/N (H-2(q)) CD8(+) T with bone marrow cells induced chimerism and eliminated BCL1 leukemia/lymphoma cells without clinical signs of GVHD in anti-CD3-conditioned BALB/c (H-2(d)) recipients, but induced lethal GVHD in TBI-conditioned recipients. Using in vivo and ex vivo bioluminescent imaging, we observed that donor CD8(+) T cells expanded rapidly and infiltrated GVHD target tissues in TBI-conditioned recipients, but donor CD8(+) T cell expansion in anti-CD3-conditioned recipients was confined to lymphohematological tissues. This confinement was associated with lack of up-regulated expression of alpha(4)beta(7) integrin and chemokine receptors (i.e., CXCR3) on donor CD8(+) T cells. In addition, donor CD8(+) T cells in anti-CD3-conditioned recipients were rendered unresponsive, anergic, Foxp3(+), or type II cytotoxic T phenotype. Those donor CD8(+) T cells showed strong suppressive activity in vitro and mediated GVL activity without clinical signs of GVHD in TBI-conditioned secondary recipients. These results indicate that anti-CD3 conditioning separates GVL activity from GVHD via confining donor CD8(+) T cell expansion to host lymphohemological tissues as well as tolerizing them in the host. 相似文献

Background
Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) is a potentially curative therapy for a variety of hematologic diseases, but benefits, including graft-versus-tumor (GVT) activity are limited by graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD). Carcinoembryonic antigen related cell adhesion molecule 1 (Ceacam1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein found on epithelium, T cells, and many tumors. It regulates a variety of physiologic and pathological processes such as tumor biology, leukocyte activation, and energy homeostasis. Previous studies suggest that Ceacam1 negatively regulates inflammation in inflammatory bowel disease models.Methods
We studied Ceacam1 as a regulator of GVHD and GVT after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT) in mouse models. In vivo, Ceacam1−/− T cells caused increased GVHD mortality and GVHD of the colon, and greater numbers of donor T cells were positive for activation markers (CD25hi, CD62Llo). Additionally, Ceacam1−/− CD8 T cells had greater expression of the gut-trafficking integrin α4β7, though both CD4 and CD8 T cells were found increased numbers in the gut post-transplant. Ceacam1−/− recipients also experienced increased GVHD mortality and GVHD of the colon, and alloreactive T cells displayed increased activation. Additionally, Ceacam1−/− mice had increased mortality and decreased numbers of regenerating small intestinal crypts upon radiation exposure. Conversely, Ceacam1-overexpressing T cells caused attenuated target-organ and systemic GVHD, which correlated with decreased donor T cell numbers in target tissues, and mortality. Finally, graft-versus-tumor survival in a Ceacam1+ lymphoma model was improved in animals receiving Ceacam1−/− vs. control T cells.Conclusions
We conclude that Ceacam1 regulates T cell activation, GVHD target organ damage, and numbers of donor T cells in lymphoid organs and GVHD target tissues. In recipients of allo-BMT, Ceacam1 may also regulate tissue radiosensitivity. Because of its expression on both the donor graft and host tissues, this suggests that targeting Ceacam1 may represent a potent strategy for the regulation of GVHD and GVT after allogeneic transplantation. 相似文献20.

Lag-3 has emerged as an important molecule in T cell biology. We investigated the role of Lag-3 in conventional T cell (Tcon) and regulatory T cell (Treg) function in murine GVHD with the hypothesis that Lag-3 engagement diminishes alloreactive T cell responses after bone marrow transplantation. We demonstrate that Lag-3 deficient Tcon (Lag-3−/− Tcon) induce significantly more severe GVHD than wild type (WT) Tcon and that the absence of Lag-3 on CD4 but not CD8 T cells is responsible for exacerbating GVHD. Lag-3−/− Tcon exhibited increased activation and proliferation as indicated by CFSE and bioluminescence imaging analyses and higher levels of activation markers such as CD69, CD107a, granzyme B, and Ki-67 as well as production of IL-10 and IFN-g early after transplantation. Lag-3−/− Tcon were less responsive to suppression by WT Treg as compared to WT Tcon. The absence of Lag-3, however, did not impair Treg function as both Lag-3−/− and WT Treg equally suppress the proliferation of Tcon in vitro and in vivo and protect against GVHD. Further, we demonstrate that allogeneic Treg acquire recipient MHC class II molecules through a process termed trogocytosis. As MHC class II is a ligand for Lag-3, we propose a novel suppression mechanism employed by Treg involving the acquisition of host MHC-II followed by the engagement of Lag-3 on T cells. These studies demonstrate for the first time the biologic function of Lag-3 expression on conventional and regulatory T cells in GVHD and identify Lag-3 as an important regulatory molecule involved in alloreactive T cell proliferation and activation after bone marrow transplantation. 相似文献
