Immune cell-type specific miRNA expression patterns have been described but the detailed role of single miRNAs in the function of T-cells remains largely unknown. We investigated the role of miR-21 in the function of primary human CD4+ T-cells. MiR-21 is substantially expressed in T-cells with a memory phenotype, and is robustly upregulated upon αCD3/CD28 activation of both naive and memory T-cells. By inhibiting the endogenous miR-21 function in activated naive and memory T-cells, we showed that miR-21 regulates fundamentally different aspects of T-cell biology, depending on the differentiation status of the T-cell. Stable inhibition of miR-21 function in activated memory T-cells led to growth disadvantage and apoptosis, indicating that the survival of memory T-cells depends on miR-21 function. In contrast, stable inhibition of miR-21 function in activated naive T-cells did not result in growth disadvantage, but led to a significant induction of CCR7 protein expression. Direct interaction between CCR7 and miR-21 was confirmed in a dual luciferase reporter assay. Our data provide evidence for a dual role of miR-21 in CD4+ T cells; Regulation of T-cell survival is confined to activated memory T-cells, while modulation of potential homing properties, through downregulation of CCR7 protein expression, is observed in activated naive T-cells. 相似文献

The role of non-lymphoid tissue T cells expressing the BV9 family T-cell receptor (TCRBV9) was studied in mice chronically infected with the Trypanosoma cruzi. Heart and skeletal muscles had higher frequencies and ratios of CD8+ TCRBV9+ to CD4+ TCRBV9+ T cells than lymph nodes. Also, homing experiments of CFSE-labeled T cells showed preferential homing of TCRBV9+ T cells to heart tissue. In vitro proliferation assays showed higher [3H]thymidine uptake by non-lymphoid tissue TCRBV9+ T cells than lymph node TCRBV9+ T cells co-cultured with antigen-presenting cells (APC), in response to T. cruzi amastigote antigens (TcAg). Lymph node TCRBV9+ T cells secreted IFN-gamma and IL-10, but not IL-4, upon stimulation with TcAg in the presence of APC. Moreover, non-lymphoid tissue-derived TCRBV9+ T cells showed impairment of IFN-gamma, no IL-4 production, and higher levels of IL-10 secretion under the same conditions. Our results show that T. cruzi-specific IFN-gamma- and IL-10-producing TCR BV9+ T cells develop in the mouse lymph nodes during chronic infection with T. cruzi. Upon homing to non-lymphoid parasitized tissues, IFN-gamma secretion might subside due to the overt secretion of IL-10, of which TCRBV9+ T cells represent a significant source. 相似文献

T-cell help for B cells is essential for high-affinity antibody responses and B-cell memory. Recently, the identity of a discrete follicular population of T cells that has a crucial role in this process has become clearer. Similar to primed CD4(+) T cells in the tonsils and memory CD4(+) T cells in the peripheral blood, this follicular population of T cells expresses CXC-chemokine receptor 5 (CXCR5). Owing to their distinct homing preferences and helper function, these T cells differ from T helper 1 and T helper 2 cells and have been denoted follicular B helper T cells. Here, we outline the central role of this subset in normal and pathological immune responses. 相似文献
