The regulation of IL-2 gene expression during T cell activation and proliferation has been investigated in primary cultures of purified human peripheral blood T cells. Prior results indicated that stimulation of T cells by anti-CD28 mAb plus PMA could induce IL-2 expression and T cell proliferation that was entirely resistant to cyclosporine. The present studies examined whether CD28 augments IL-2 expression by a unique pathway or merely acts at a point common to CD3-induced proliferation but distal to the effects of cyclosporine. The induction of maximal IL-2 gene expression required three signals provided by phorbol ester, calcium ionophore, and anti-CD28 mAb. Stimulation of cells by optimal amounts of calcium ionophore and PMA induced IL-2 mRNA that was completely suppressed by cyclosporine. The addition of anti-CD28 to T cells stimulated with PMA plus calcium ionophore induced a 5- to 100-fold increase in IL-2 gene expression and secretion that was resistant to cyclosporine. The CD28 signal was able to increase steady state IL-2 mRNA levels even in cells treated with maximally tolerated amounts of calcium ionophore and PMA. The three-signal requirement did not reflect differential regulation of lymphokine gene expression between the CD4 and CD8 T cell subsets or differences in the kinetics of IL-2 mRNA expression. The signal provided by CD28 is distinct from that of CD3 because although anti-CD28 plus PMA-induced proliferation is resistant to cyclosporine, anti-CD3 or anti-CD3 plus PMA-induced IL-2 expression is sensitive. Thus, these studies show that three biochemically distinct signals are required for maximal IL-2 gene expression. Furthermore, these studies suggest that lymphokine production in T cells is not controlled by an "on/off" switch, but rather, that CD28 regulates a distinct intracellular pathway which modulates the level of IL-2 production on a per cell basis. The observation that CD28 stimulation results in IL-2 concentrations that exceed 1000 U/m1 in tissue culture supernatants suggests that a role in vivo for CD28 might be to amplify immune responses initiated by the CD3/T cell receptor complex. Finally, the observation that CD28 interacts with the signals provided by PMA and calcium ionophore shows that the function of CD28 is not merely to act as a scaffold to stabilize or enhance signalling through the CD3/TCR complex. 相似文献

Cross-linking class I MHC molecules on human T cell clones by reacting them with various mAb directed at either monomorphic or polymorphic determinants on class I MHC molecules followed by cross-linking with GaMIg stimulated a rise in intracellular free calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i), and induced proliferation and IL-2 production. T cell clones varied in the mean density of class I MHC molecules and the capacity to respond to mAb to class I MHC molecules. However, the functional responses of the clones did not correlate with class I MHC density or the CD4/CD8 phenotype. mAb to polymorphic class I MHC determinants were less able to induce an increase in [Ca2+]i and a functional response in the T cell clones. Additive stimulatory effects were noted when mAb against both HLA-A and HLA-B determinants were employed. Cross-linking class I MHC molecules on Jurkat cells induced a rise by [Ca2+]i and induced IL-2 production upon co-stimulation with PMA. Cross-linking class I MHC molecules on mutant Jurkat cells that expressed diminished levels of CD3 and were unable to produce IL-2 in response to anti-CD3 stimulation triggered both a rise in [Ca2+]i and IL-2 production with PMA co-stimulation. In contrast, cross-linking class I MHC molecules on mutant Jurkat cells that were CD3- stimulated neither a rise in [Ca2+]i nor IL-2 production. The combination of mAb to CD28 or ionomycin and PMA, however, was able to induce IL-2 production by CD3- Jurkat cells. The data demonstrate that cross-linking class I MHC molecules delivers a functionally important signal to T cell clones and Jurkat cells and indicate that class I MHC molecules may function to transduce activation signals to T cells. In addition, the data demonstrate that transmission of an activation signal via class I MHC molecules requires CD3 expression. The data, therefore, support a central role for CD3 in the transduction of activation signals to T cells via class I MHC molecules. 相似文献

To identify novel components of the TCR signaling pathway, a large-scale retroviral-based functional screen was performed using CD69 expression as a marker for T cell activation. In addition to known regulators, two truncated forms of p21-activated kinase 2 (PAK2), PAK2DeltaL(1-224) and PAK2DeltaS(1-113), both lacking the kinase domain, were isolated in the T cell screen. The PAK2 truncation, PAK2DeltaL, blocked Ag receptor-induced NFAT activation and TCR-mediated calcium flux in Jurkat T cells. However, it had minimal effect on PMA/ionomycin-induced CD69 up-regulation in Jurkat cells, on anti-IgM-mediated CD69 up-regulation in B cells, or on the migratory responses of resting T cells to chemoattractants. We show that PAK2 kinase activity is increased in response to TCR stimulation. Furthermore, a full-length kinase-inactive form of PAK2 blocked both TCR-induced CD69 up-regulation and NFAT activity in Jurkat cells, demonstrating that kinase activity is required for PAK2 function downstream of the TCR. We also generated a GFP-fused PAK2 truncation lacking the Cdc42/Rac interactive binding region domain, GFP-PAK2(83-149). We show that this construct binds directly to the kinase domain of PAK2 and inhibits anti-TCR-stimulated T cell activation. Finally, we demonstrate that, in primary T cells, dominant-negative PAK2 prevented anti-CD3/CD28-induced IL-2 production, and TCR-induced CD40 ligand expression, both key functions of activated T cells. Taken together, these results suggest a novel role for PAK2 as a positive regulator of T cell activation. 相似文献

Oxidative stress mediates cell surface expression of SS-A/Ro antigen on keratinocytes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Exposure to ultraviolet radiation exacerbates the skin lesions of autoimmune diseases, and is known to induce cell surface expression of SS-A/Ro antigen on keratinocytes in vitro. Following up on recent reports on ultraviolet-B (UVB)-induced oxidative stress, we examined the role of oxidative stress in the surface expression of SS-A/Ro antigen on human keratinocytes. First, the exclusive induction by UVB irradiation of the 52-kDa protein (Ro52) but not of the 60-kDa protein (Ro60) of SS-A/Ro antigen was demonstrated by means of indirect immunofluorescence. The surface expression of Ro52 induced by UVB irradiation was concentration-dependently inhibited by N-acetyl-L-cysteine, an antioxidant. Furthermore, surface expression of Ro52 was similarly induced by diamide, a chemical oxidant. We next used Hoechst 33342 staining and the TUNEL assay to demonstrate that a low dose (20 mJ/cm(2)) of UVB did not induce apoptosis but induced the surface expression of Ro52. Moreover, zVAD-fmk, a pan-caspase inhibitor, did not inhibit UVB-induced surface expression of Ro52 even at a high dose (200 mJ/cm(2)) of UVB, which was sufficient to induce apoptosis in keratinocytes in the absence of zVAD-fmk. Taken together, we concluded that UVB-induced surface expression of Ro52 on keratinocytes is mediated by oxidative stress through a pathway other than apoptosis. 相似文献

GB virus type C (GBV-C) viremia is associated with reduced CD4(+) T cell expansion following IL-2 therapy and with a reduction in T cell activation in HIV-infected individuals. The mechanism(s) by which GBV-C might alter T cell activation or IL-2 signaling have not been studied. In this study, we assess IL-2 release, IL-2R expression, IL-2 signaling, and cell proliferation in tet-off Jurkat cells expressing the GBV-C envelope glycoprotein (E2) following activation through the TCR. TCR activation was induced by incubation in anti-CD3/CD28 Abs. IL-2 release was measured by ELISA, STAT5 phosphorylation was assessed by immunoblot, and IL-2Rα (CD25) expression and cell proliferation were determined by flow cytometry. IL-2 and IL-2Rα steady-state mRNA levels were measured by real-time PCR. GBV-C E2 expression significantly inhibited IL-2 release, CD25 expression, STAT5 phosphorylation, and cellular proliferation in Jurkat cells following activation through the TCR compared with control cell lines. Reducing E2 expression by doxycycline reversed the inhibitory effects observed in the E2-expressing cells. The N-terminal 219 aa of E2 was sufficient to inhibit IL-2 signaling. Addition of purified recombinant GBV-C E2 protein to primary human CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells inhibited TCR activation-induced IL-2 release and upregulation of IL-2Rα expression. These data provide evidence that the GBV-C E2 protein may contribute to the block in CD4(+) T cell expansion following IL-2 therapy in HIV-infected individuals. Furthermore, the effects of GBV-C on IL-2 and IL-2-signaling pathways may contribute to the reduction in chronic immune activation observed in GBV-C/HIV-coinfected individuals. 相似文献

CD28 costimulation accelerates IL-4 receptor sensitivity and IL-4-mediated Th2 differentiation. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The development of Th1 and Th2 cells is determined by the type of antigenic stimulation involved in the initial cell activation step. Evidence indicates that costimulatory signals, such as those delivered by CD28, play an important role in Th2 development, but little is known about how CD28 costimulation contributes to Th2 development. In this study, TCR cross-linking was insufficient for Th2 development, while the addition of CD28 costimulation drastically increased Th2 generation through the IL-4-mediated pathway. Th2 generation following CD28 costimulation was not simply explained by the enhancement of IL-4 production in naive T cells. To generate Th2 cells after TCR cross-linking only, it was necessary to add a 20- to 200-fold excess of IL-4 generated after TCR and CD28 stimulation. TCR cross-linking increased the expression level and binding property of the IL-4R, but enhanced the sensitivity to IL-4 only slightly. In contrast, as evidenced by the enhanced phosphorylation of Jak3, the IL-4Ralpha-chain, and STAT6 following IL-4 stimulation, CD28 costimulation increased IL-4R sensitivity without affecting its expression and binding property. This evidence of the enhancement of IL-4R sensitivity increases our understanding of how CD28 costimulation accelerates Th2 development. 相似文献

Beta 1 integrins provide a costimulus for TCR/CD3-driven T cell activation and IL-2 production in human peripheral T cells. However, this beta 1 integrin-mediated costimulation is impaired in a human T lymphoblastic line, Jurkat. We studied the molecular basis of this impaired costimulation and found that Cas-L, a 105-kDa docking protein, is marginally expressed in Jurkat T cells, whereas Cas-L is well expressed in peripheral T cells. Cas-L is a binding protein and a substrate for focal adhesion kinase and is tyrosine phosphorylated by beta 1 integrin stimulation. We here show that the transfection of wild-type Cas-L in Jurkat T cells restores beta 1 integrin-mediated costimulation. However, Cas-L transfection had no effect on CD28-mediated costimulation, indicating that Cas-L is specifically involved in the beta 1 integrin-mediated signaling pathway. Furthermore, transfection of the Cas-L Delta SH3 mutant failed to restore beta 1 integrin-mediated costimulation in Jurkat cells. Cas-L Delta SH3 mutant lacks the binding site for focal adhesion kinase and is not tyrosine phosphorylated after beta 1 integrin stimulation. These findings strongly suggest that the tyrosine phosphorylation of Cas-L plays a key role in the signal transduction in the beta 1 integrin-mediated T cell costimulation. 相似文献

CD28 is an inducible T cell surface antigen that transduces a proliferative signal in CD3+ mature thymocytes 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

The rearrangement of TCR genes during thymic ontogeny creates a repertoire of T cell specificities that is refined to ensure the deletion of autoreactive clones and the MHC restriction of T cell responses. Signals delivered via the accessory molecules CD2, CD4, and CD8 have a crucial role in this phase of T cell differentiation. Recently, CD28 has been identified as a signal transducing molecule on the surface of most mature T cells. Perturbation of the CD28 molecule stimulates a novel pathway of T cell activation regulating the production of a variety of lymphokines including IL-2. We have studied the expression and function of CD28 during thymic ontogeny, and in resting and activated PBL. A variable percentage of resting thymocytes were CD28+ (3 to 25%, n = 8), but it was found in high density only on mature CD3+(bright) CD4/CD8 cells. Both unseparated thymocytes and isolated CD3-CD28-/dull cells proliferated when stimulated with PMA plus IL-2 or PMA plus ionomycin. PMA treatment also rapidly up-regulated CD28 expression in the CD3- subset as these cells became CD3-CD28+(bright). Despite the ability of PMA to induce high density CD28 expression in CD3- cells, CD3- thymocytes did not proliferate in response to PMA plus anti-CD28 mAb, in contrast to unseparated cells. CD3+ thymocytes stimulated with immobilized anti-CD3 mAb also failed to proliferate in culture. However, the addition of either IL-2 or anti-CD28 mAb supported proliferation, suggesting that only CD3+ cells could respond to CD28 signaling. The comitogenic effect of anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 mAb was IL-2 dependent as it was abrogated by an anti-IL-2R mAb. Interestingly, the expression of CD28 on the cell surface of CD3+ cells was also inducible, as flow cytometric analysis demonstrated a 10-fold increase in cell surface CD28 by 24 to 48 h after anti-CD3 stimulation of both CD3+ thymocytes and peripheral blood T cells. This increase was accounted for by a commensurate increase in CD28 mRNA levels. Together, these results suggest that CD28 is an inducible T cell antigen in both CD3- and CD3+ cells. In addition, stimulation of the CD28 pathway can provide a second signal to support the growth of CD3+ thymocytes stimulated through the TCR/CD3 complex, and may therefore represent a mechanism for positive selection during thymic ontogeny. 相似文献

Studies in Jurkat cells have shown that combined stimulation through the TCR and CD28 is required for activation of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), suggesting that JNK activity may mediate the costimulatory function of CD28. To examine the role of JNK signaling in CD28 costimulation in normal T cells, murine T cell clones and CD28(+/+) or CD28(-/-) TCR transgenic T cells were used. Although ligation with anti-CD28 mAb augmented JNK activation in Th1 and Th2 clones stimulated with low concentrations of anti-CD3 mAb, higher concentrations of anti-CD3 mAb alone were sufficient for JNK activation even in the absence of anti-CD28. JNK activity was comparably induced in both CD28(+/+) and CD28(-/-) 2C/recombinase-activating gene 2(RAG2)(-/-) T cells stimulated with anti-CD3 mAb alone, and with L(d)/peptide dimers, a direct alphabeta TCR ligand. Moreover, JNK activation was also detected in 2C/RAG2(-/-) T cells stimulated with P815 cells that express the relevant alloantigen L(d) whether or not B7-1 was coexpressed. However, IL-2 production by both Th1 clones and CD28(+/+) 2C/RAG2(-/-) T cells was detected only upon TCR and CD28 coengagement. Thus, CD28 coligation is not necessary, and stimulation through the TCR is sufficient, for JNK activation in normal murine T cells. The concept that JNK mediates the costimulatory function of CD28 needs to be reconsidered. 相似文献

EphB6 is the most recently identified member of the Eph receptor tyrosine kinase family. EphB6 is primarily expressed in thymocytes and a subpopulation of T cells, suggesting that it may be involved in regulation of T lymphocyte differentiation and functions. We show here that overexpression of EphB6 in Jurkat T cells and stimulation with the EphB6 ligand, ephrin-B1, results in the selective inhibition of TCR-mediated activation of JNK but not the MAPK pathway. EphB6 appears to suppress the JNK pathway by preventing T cell receptor (TCR)-induced activation of the small GTPase Rac1, a critical event in initiating the JNK cascade. Furthermore, EphB6 blocked anti-CD3-induced secretion of IL-2 and CD25 expression in a ligand-dependent manner. Dominant negative EphB6 suppressed the inhibitory activity of the endogenous receptor and enhanced anti-CD3-induced JNK activation, CD25 expression, and IL-2 secretion, confirming the requirement for EphB6-specific signaling. Activation of the JNK pathway and the establishment of an IL-2/IL-2R autocrine loop have been shown to play a role in the negative selection of CD4(+)CD8(+) self-reacting thymocytes. In agreement, stimulation of murine thymocytes with ephrin-B1 not only blocked anti-CD3-induced CD25 up-regulation and IL-2 production, but also inhibited TCR-mediated apoptosis. Thus, EphB6 may play an important role in regulating thymocyte differentiation and modulating responses of mature T cells. 相似文献

IL-21 is produced by NKT cells and modulates NKT cell activation and cytokine production 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12

The common gamma-chain cytokine, IL-21, is produced by CD4(+) T cells and mediates potent effects on a variety of immune cells including NK, T, and B cells. NKT cells express the receptor for IL-21; however, the effect of this cytokine on NKT cell function has not been studied. We show that IL-21 on its own enhances survival of NKT cells in vitro, and IL-21 increases the proliferation of NKT cells in combination with IL-2 or IL-15, and particularly with the CD1d-restricted glycosphingolipid Ag alpha-galactosylceramide. Similar to its effects on NK cells, IL-21 enhances NKT cell granular morphology, including granzyme B expression, and some inhibitory NK receptors, including Ly49C/I and CD94. IL-21 also enhanced NKT cell cytokine production in response to anti-CD3/CD28 in vitro. Furthermore, NKT cells may be subject to autocrine IL-21-mediated stimulation because they are potent producers of this cytokine following in vitro stimulation via CD3 and CD28, particularly in conjunction with IL-12 or following in vivo stimulation with alpha-galactosylceramide. Indeed, NKT cells produced much higher levels of IL-21 than conventional CD4 T cells in this assay. This study demonstrates that NKT cells are potentially a major source of IL-21, and that IL-21 may be an important factor in NKT cell-mediated immune regulation, both in its effects on NK, T, and B cells, as well as direct effects on NKT cells themselves. The influence of IL-21 in NKT cell-dependent models of tumor rejection, microbial clearance, autoimmunity, and allergy should be the subject of future investigations. 相似文献

Background aimsKey obstacles in human iNKT cell translational research and immunotherapy include the lack of robust protocols for dependable expansion of human iNKT cells and the paucity of data on phenotypes in post-expanded cells.MethodsWe delineate expansion methods using interleukin (IL)-2, IL-7 and allogeneic feeder cells and anti-CD2/CD3/CD28 stimulation by which to dependably augment Th2 polarization and direct cytotoxicity of human peripheral blood CD3+Vα24+Vβ11+ iNKT cells.ResultsGene and protein expression profiling demonstrated augmented Th2 cytokine secretion (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) in expanded iNKT cells stimulated with anti-CD2/CD3/CD28 antibodies. Cytotoxic effector molecules including granzyme B were increased in expanded iNKT cells after CD2/CD3/CD28 stimulation. Direct cytotoxicity assays using unstimulated expanded iNKT cell effectors revealed α-galactosyl ceramide (α-GalCer)-dependent killing of the T-ALL cell line Jurkat. Moreover, CD2/CD3/CD28 stimulation of expanded iNKT cells augmented their (α-GalCer-independent) killing of Jurkat cells. Co-culture of expanded iNKT cells with stimulated responder cells confirmed contact-dependent inhibition of activated CD4+ and CD8+ responder T cells.DiscussionThese data establish a robust protocol to expand and novel pathways to enhance Th2 cytokine secretion and direct cytotoxicity in human iNKT cells, findings with direct implications for autoimmunity, vaccine augmentation and anti-infective immunity, cancer immunotherapy and transplantation. 相似文献

Adenosine is an immunosuppressive molecule that is associated with the microenvironment of solid tumors. Mouse T cells activated with anti-CD3 antibody in the presence of adenosine with or without coformycin (to prevent adenosine breakdown by adenosine deaminase) exhibited decreased tyrosine phosphorylation of some intracellular proteins and were inhibited in their ability to proliferate and synthesize interleukin (IL)-2. In addition, adenosine interfered with activation-induced expression of the co-stimulatory molecules CD2 and CD28. Activation-induced CD2 and CD28 expression was also diminished when T cells were activated in the presence of anti-IL-2 and anti-CD25 antibodies to neutralize IL-2 bioactivity. Collectively, these data suggest that CD2 and CD28 up-regulation following T cell activation is IL-2-dependent; and that adenosine inhibits activation-induced T cell expression of CD2 and CD28 by interfering with IL-2-dependent signaling. The inhibitory effect of adenosine on activation-induced CD2 and CD28 expression could not be attributed to cyclic AMP (cAMP) accumulation resulting from the stimulation of adenylyl cyclase-coupled adenosine receptors, even though cAMP at concentrations much higher than those generated following adenosine stimulation was inhibitory for both CD2 and CD28 expression. We conclude that adenosine interferes with IL-2-dependent T cell expression of co-stimulatory molecules via a mechanism that does not involve the accumulation of intracellular cAMP. 相似文献
