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

Survival and homeostatic proliferation of naive peripheral CD4+ T cells in the absence of self peptide:MHC complexes 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
TCR-self peptide:MHC interactions play a critical role in thymic positive selection, yet relatively little is known of their function in the periphery. It has been suggested that continued contact with selecting MHC molecules is necessary for long-term peripheral maintenance of naive T cells. More recent studies have also demonstrated a role for specific self peptide:MHC complexes in the homeostatic expansion of naive T cells in lymphopenic mice. Our examination of these processes revealed that, whereas self class II MHC molecules do have a modest effect on long-term survival of individual CD4+ T cells, interactions with specific TCR ligands are not required for peripheral naive CD4+ T cell maintenance. In contrast, selective engagement of TCRs by self-peptide:MHC complexes does promote proliferation of CD4+ T cells under severe lymphopenic conditions, and this division is associated with an activation marker phenotype that is different from that induced by antigenic stimulation. Importantly, however, the ability of naive T cells to divide in response to homeostatic stimuli does not appear to be stringently dependent on TCR-self peptide:MHC interactions. Therefore, these results show that the factors regulating survival and homeostatic expansion of naive T cells in the periphery are not identical. In addition, we provide evidence for a novel form of T cell proliferation that can occur independently of TCR signaling and suggest that this reflects another mechanism regulating homeostatic T cell expansion. 相似文献

The transmembrane adaptor protein SIT is a negative regulator of TCR-mediated signaling. However, little is known about the functional role of SIT in mature T cells. In this study, we show that mice deficient for SIT display a decreased number of naive CD8(+) T cells and a progressive accumulation of memory-like (CD44(high)) CD8(+) T lymphocytes that resemble cells undergoing homeostatic proliferation. Indeed, when transferred into lymphopenic hosts, SIT(-/-) naive CD8(+) T cells undergo enhanced homeostatic proliferation and express a higher level of CD44 in comparison to wild-type T cells. By using class-I-restricted TCR transgenic models with different ligand affinity/avidity, we show that lymphopenia-induced homeostatic proliferation is more pronounced in cells carrying low-affinity TCRs. Strikingly, the loss of SIT induces homeostatic proliferation of HY TCR transgenic cells, which are normally unable to proliferate in lymphopenic mice. Collectively, these data demonstrate that SIT negatively regulates T cell homeostasis. Finally, we show that SIT-deficient T cells develop a mechanism analogous to sensory adaptation as they up-regulate CD5, down-regulate the coreceptor, and display impaired TCR-mediated ZAP-70 activation. 相似文献

We have recently shown that engagement of the human monocytic Ag CD14 by murine mAb induces lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1/intercellular adhesion molecule-1-dependent homotypic adhesion. To determine whether CD14 plays a role in monocyte-T cell interactions, we tested the effect of anti-CD14 mAb on the proliferation of human T cells. Our results show that anti-CD14 mAb strongly inhibited T cell proliferation induced by Ag, anti-CD3 mAb, and mitogenic lectins. Inhibition by anti-CD14 mAb was epitope-dependent and required physical contact between monocytes and T cells. CD14 engagement did not affect IL-2R expression or IL-2 synthesis but induced a state of unresponsiveness that was not IL-2 specific; proliferation of anti-CD3-activated T cell blasts in response to both IL-2 and IL-4 was abrogated by addition of monocytes preincubated with anti-CD14 mAb. Inhibition of T cell proliferation after engagement of CD14 on monocytes was likely to result from delivery of a negative signal to T cells, rather than from disruption of a costimulatory monocyte-derived signal, because incubation of monocytes with anti-CD14 mAb also inhibited monocyte-independent T cell proliferation induced by PMA and ionophore. These results, together, point to a role of CD14 in the monocyte-dependent regulation of T cell proliferation. 相似文献

IL-7/anti-IL-7 mAb complexes restore T cell development and induce homeostatic T Cell expansion without lymphopenia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

IL-7, a member of the common gamma-chain family of cytokines, is essential for B and T lymphocyte development and homeostasis of mature T cell subsets. Thus, naive and memory T cells are both dependent on IL-7 for survival and homeostatic proliferation under lymphopenic conditions. In line with prior findings with IL-2, we show in this study that the biological activity of IL-7 in vivo is greatly increased by association with anti-IL-7 mAb. Under in vivo conditions, IL-7/mAb complexes displayed 50- to 100-fold higher activity than free IL-7 and induced massive expansion of pre-B cells. IL-7/mAb complexes also increased thymopoiesis in normal mice and restored thymopoeisis in IL-7-deficient mice. For mature T cells, IL-7/mAb complexes induced marked homeostatic proliferation of both naive and memory CD4(+) and CD8(+) cell subsets even under normal T cell-replete conditions. Finally, IL-7/mAb complexes were able to enhance the magnitude of the primary response of Ag-specific naive CD8(+) cells. The strong stimulatory activity of IL-7/mAb complexes could be useful for treatment of immunodeficiency and cancer. 相似文献

IL-27 induces stronger proliferation of naive than memory human B cells and CD4(+) T cells. In B cells, this differential response is associated with similar levels of IL-27 receptor chains, IL-27Rα and gp130, in both subsets and stronger STAT1 and STAT3 activation by IL-27 in naive B cells. Here, we show that the stronger proliferative response of CD3-stimulated naive CD4(+) T cells to IL-27 is associated with lower levels of IL-27Rα but higher levels of gp130 compared with memory CD4(+) T cells. IL-27 signaling differs between naive and memory CD4(+) T cells, as shown by more sustained STAT1, -3, and -5 activation and weaker activation of SHP-2 in naive CD4(+) T cells. In the latter, IL-27 increases G0/G1 to S phase transition, cell division and, in some cases, cell survival. IL-27 proliferative effect on naive CD4(+) T cells is independent of MAPK, but is dependent on c-Myc and Pim-1 induction by IL-27 and is associated with induction of cyclin D2, cyclin D3, and CDK4 by IL-27 in a c-Myc and Pim-1-dependent manner. In BCR-stimulated naive B cells, IL-27 only increases entry in the S phase and induces the expression of Pim-1 and of cyclins A, D2, and D3. In these cells, inhibition of Pim-1 inhibits IL-27 effect on proliferation and cyclin induction. Altogether, these data indicate that IL-27 mediates proliferation of naive CD4(+) T cells and B cells through induction of both common and distinct sets of cell cycle regulators. 相似文献

Regulatory CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cells selectively inhibit the spontaneous form of lymphopenia-induced proliferation of naive T cells 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Regulatory CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) T cells play a critical role in controlling autoimmunity and T cell homeostasis. However, their role in regulation of lymphopenia-induced proliferation (LIP), a potential mechanism for generation of autoaggressive T cells, has been poorly defined. Currently, two forms of LIP are recognized: spontaneous and homeostatic. Spontaneous LIP is characterized by fast, burst-like cell-cycle activity, and may allow effector T cell differentiation. Homeostatic LIP is characterized by slow and steady cell cycle activity and is not associated with the acquisition of an effector phenotype. In this study, we demonstrate that CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) T cells suppress the spontaneous, but not homeostatic, LIP of naive CD8 and CD4 T cells. However, selective inhibition of spontaneous LIP does not fully explain the tolerogenic role of Tregs in lymphopenia-associated autoimmunity. We show here that suppression of LIP in the lymphoid tissues is independent of Treg-derived IL-10. However, IL-10-deficient Tregs are partially defective in their ability to prevent colitis caused by adoptive transfer of CD4 T cells into RAG(-/-) mice. We propose that Tregs may inhibit emergence of effector T cells during the inductive phase of the immune response in the secondary lymphoid tissues by IL-10-independent mechanisms. In contrast, Treg-mediated inhibition of established effector T cells does require IL-10. Both Treg functions appear to be important in control of lymphopenia-associated autoimmunity. 相似文献

Homeostatic proliferation for naive T cells is observed readily only under lymphopenic conditions in response to elevated levels of IL-7 and contact with self-MHC/peptide ligands. Homeostatic proliferation occurs at a slow pace and gradually induces the dividing cells to acquire characteristics of memory cells. We describe a novel type of homeostatic proliferation whereby naive T cells proliferate at a significantly faster rate, resembling the proliferation speed induced by foreign Ags, and the expanding cells rapidly differentiate into central memory cells. Remarkably, such rapid homeostatic proliferation is driven by a combination of IL-2 and IL-15, with IL-15 playing a bigger role, and applies for a wide repertoire of CD8(+) naive T cells, including many TCR-transgenic lines, even those that fail to undergo IL-7-driven homeostatic proliferation. Thus, naive T cells can be induced to undergo homeostatic proliferation of variable speed with a few members of the common gamma-chain (CD132) family of cytokines, the speed of proliferation depending on the levels of the particular cytokine involved. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen intermediates (ROI) generated in response to receptor stimulation play an important role in mediating cellular responses. We have examined the importance of reversible cysteine sulfenic acid formation in naive CD8(+) T cell activation and proliferation. We observed that, within minutes of T cell activation, naive CD8(+) T cells increased ROI levels in a manner dependent upon Ag concentration. Increased ROI resulted in elevated levels of cysteine sulfenic acid in the total proteome. Analysis of specific proteins revealed that the protein tyrosine phosphatases SHP-1 and SHP-2, as well as actin, underwent increased sulfenic acid modification following stimulation. To examine the contribution of reversible cysteine sulfenic acid formation to T cell activation, increasing concentrations of 5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione (dimedone), which covalently binds to cysteine sulfenic acid, were added to cultures. Subsequent experiments demonstrated that the reversible formation of cysteine sulfenic acid was critical for ERK1/2 phosphorylation, calcium flux, cell growth, and proliferation of naive CD8(+) and CD4(+) T cells. We also found that TNF-alpha production by effector and memory CD8(+) T cells was more sensitive to the inhibition of reversible cysteine sulfenic acid formation than IFN-gamma. Together, these results demonstrate that reversible cysteine sulfenic acid formation is an important regulatory mechanism by which CD8(+) T cells are able to modulate signaling, proliferation, and function. 相似文献

The sizes of peripheral T cell pools are regulated by competition for environmental signals within a given ecological T cell niche. Cytokines and MHC molecules have been identified as resources for which naive T cells compete to proliferate homeostatically in lymphopenic hosts to fill up their respective compartments. However, it still remains unclear to what extent CD4 and CD8 T cells intercompete for these resources and which role dendritic cells (DC) play in this scenario. Using transgenic mice in which only DC express MHC class I, we demonstrate that this type of APC is sufficient to trigger complete homeostatic proliferation of CD8 T cells in vivo. However, normal numbers of endogenous naive CD4 T cells, but not CD25(+)CD4(+) T regulatory cells, efficiently suppress this expansion in vivo. These findings identify DC as a major resource and a possible target for homeostatic competition between naive CD4 and CD8 T cells. 相似文献

Endothelial cells play a critical role in monocyte differentiation. Platelets also affect terminal maturation of monocytes in vitro. P-selectin is an important adhesion molecule expressed on both endothelial cells and activated platelets. We investigated its effects on human peripheral blood monocyte differentiation under the influence of different cytokines. Generation of dendritic-like cells (DLCs) from peripheral blood monocytes was promoted by immobilized P-selectin in the presence of M-CSF and IL-4 as judged by dendritic cell (DC) morphology; increased expression of CD1a, a DC marker; low phagocytic activity; and high alloreactivity to naive T cells. In contrast to typical DCs, DLCs expressed CD14 and FcgammaRIII (CD16). These features link the possible identity of DLCs to that of an uncommon CD14(+)CD16(+)CD64(-) monocyte subset found to be expanded in a variety of pathological conditions. Functionally, DLCs generated by P-selectin in combination with M-CSF plus IL-4 primed naive allogeneic CD4(+) T cells to produce significantly less IFN-gamma than cells generated by BSA in the presence of M-CSF and IL-4. P-selectin effects on enhancing CD14(+)CD16(+) DLC generation were completely abrogated by pretreatment of cells with the protein kinase C delta inhibitor rottlerin, but not by classical protein kinase C inhibitor G?6976. Immobilized P-selectin also inhibited macrophage differentiation in response to M-CSF alone as demonstrated by morphology, phenotype, and phagocytosis analysis. The effects of P-selectin on macrophage differentiation were neutralized by pretreatment of monocytes with Ab against P-selectin glycoprotein ligand 1. These results suggest a novel role for P-selectin in regulating monocyte fate determination. 相似文献

Naive B lymphocytes are generally thought to be poor APCs, and there is limited knowledge of their role in activation of CD8(+) T cells. In this article, we demonstrate that class I MHC Ag presentation by human naive B cells is enhanced by TLR9 agonists. Purified naive B cells were cultured with or without a TLR9 agonist (CpG oligodeoxynucleotide [ODN] 2006) for 2 d and then assessed for phenotype, endocytic activity, and their ability to induce CD8(+) T cell responses to soluble Ags. CpG ODN enhanced expression of class I MHC and the costimulatory molecule CD86 and increased endocytic activity as determined by uptake of dextran beads. Pretreatment of naive B cells with CpG ODN also enabled presentation of tetanus toxoid to CD8(+) T cells, resulting in CD8(+) T cell cytokine production and granzyme B secretion and proliferation. Likewise, CpG-activated naive B cells showed enhanced ability to cross-present CMV Ag to autologous CD8(+) T cells, resulting in proliferation of CMV-specific CD8(+) T cells. Although resting naive B cells are poor APCs, they can be activated by TLR9 agonists to serve as potent APCs for class I MHC-restricted T cell responses. This novel activity of naive B cells could be exploited for vaccine design. 相似文献

The systemic CD4(+) T cell compartment in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by TCR repertoire contraction, shortened telomere lengths, and decreased numbers of recent thymic emigrants, suggesting a disturbed CD4(+) T cell homeostasis. In mice, homeostatic proliferation of peripheral CD4(+) T cells is regulated by TCR interaction with self peptide-MHC complexes (pMHC) and can be reproduced in vitro. We have established an ex vivo model of homeostatic proliferation, in which self-replication of human CD4(+) T cells is induced by cell-cell contact with autologous monocytes. In healthy individuals, blockade of TCR-pMHC class II contact resulted in decreased CD4(+) T cell division. In contrast, homeostatic proliferation in RA patients was not inhibited by pMHC blockade, but increased during the initial culture period. The anti-TNF-alpha Ab cA2 inhibited homeostasis-driven ex vivo proliferation in healthy controls and in RA patients. In addition, treatment of RA patients with infliximab decreased the ex vivo rate of homeostatic proliferation of CD4(+) T cells. Our results suggest a disturbed regulation of CD4(+) T cell homeostasis leading to the repertoire aberrations reported in RA. Membrane-anchored TNF-alpha appears to be a cell-cell contact-dependent stimulus of homeostatic proliferation of CD4(+) T cells, possibly favoring self-replication of autoreactive CD4(+) T cells in patients with RA. 相似文献

Spontaneous and homeostatic proliferation of CD4 T cells are regulated by different mechanisms 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Transfer of naive CD4 T cells into lymphopenic mice initiates a proliferative response of the transferred cells, often referred to as homeostatic proliferation. Careful analysis reveals that some of the transferred cells proliferate rapidly and undergo robust differentiation to memory cells, a process we have designated spontaneous proliferation, and other cells proliferate relatively slowly and show more limited evidence of differentiation. In this study we report that spontaneous proliferation is IL-7 independent, whereas the slow proliferation (referred to as homeostatic proliferation) is IL-7 dependent. Administration of IL-7 induces homeostatic proliferation of naive CD4 T cells even within wild-type recipients. Moreover, the activation/differentiation pattern of the two responses are clearly distinguishable, indicating that different activation mechanisms may be involved. Our results reveal the complexity and heterogeneity of lymphopenia-driven T cell proliferation and suggest that they may have fundamentally distinct roles in the maintenance of CD4 T cell homeostasis. 相似文献

IFN-alpha is a well-known agent for treatment of viral and malignant diseases. It has several modes of actions, including direct influence on the immune system. We investigated IFN-alpha effects on PBMC in terms of dendritic cell (DC) differentiation, as PBMC are exposed to high IFN-alpha levels during treatment of infections and cancers. We show that in vitro IFN-alpha exposure induced rapid and strong up-regulation of the DC-maturation markers CD80, CD86, and CD83 in bulk PBMC. Consistently, IFN-alpha induced up-regulation of these molecules on purified monocytes within 24 h. Up-regulation of CD80 and CD83 expression was IFN-alpha concentration-dependent. In contrast to GM-CSF + IL-4-generated DCs, most of the IFN-alpha-challenged CD83(+) cells coexpressed the monocyte marker CD14. Despite a typical mature DC immunophenotype, IFN-alpha-treated monocytes conserved phagocytic activity and never acquired a dendritic morphology. In mixed lymphocyte reactions IFN-alpha-treated monocytes were less potent than GM-CSF + IL-4-generated DCs but significantly more potent than untreated monocytes to induce T cell proliferation in bulk PBMC. However, only GM-CSF + IL-4-generated DCs were able to induce a significant proliferation of naive CD4(+) T cells. Notably, autologous memory CD4(+) T cells proliferated when exposed to tetanus toxoid-pulsed IFN-alpha-treated monocytes. At variance with untreated or GM-CSF + IL-4-exposed monocytes, those challenged with IFN-alpha showed long-lasting STAT-1 phosphorylation. Remarkably, CD83(+)CD14(+) cells were present in varicella skin lesions in close contact with IFN-alpha-producing cells. The present findings suggest that IFN-alpha alone promptly generates nondendritic APCs able to stimulate memory immune responses. This may represent an additional mode of action of IFN-alpha in vivo. 相似文献

Homeostatic expansion occurs independently of costimulatory signals. 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Naive T cells undergo homeostatic proliferation in lymphopenic mice, a process that involves TCR recognition of specific self peptide/MHC complexes. Since costimulation signals regulate the T cell response to foreign Ags, we asked whether they also regulate homeostatic expansion. We report in this study that homeostatic expansion of CD4 and CD8 T cells occurs independently of costimulation signals mediated through CD28/B7, CD40L/CD40, or 4-1BB/4-1BBL interactions. Using DO11.10 TCR transgenic T cells, we confirmed that CD28 expression was dispensable for homeostatic expansion, and showed that the presence of endogenous CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory cells did not detectably influence homeostatic expansion. The implications of these findings with respect to regulation of T cell homeostasis and autoimmunity are discussed. 相似文献

A closer look at homeostatic proliferation of CD4+ T cells: costimulatory requirements and role in memory formation 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Ag-specific proliferation of CD4+ T cells is regulated, in part, by costimulatory signals through CD28. The proliferative response during primary activation is an important determinant of the ability of the T cell to respond to Ag re-encounter. Proliferation of mature CD4+ T cells during lymphopenia (homeostatic proliferation) requires interaction with endogenous peptide MHC. However, the role of costimulation during homeostatic proliferation is unclear, as is the ability of homeostatic proliferation to regulate secondary T cell responses. Using a TCR transgenic system and serial adoptive transfers we find that homeostatic proliferation of CD4+ T cells occurs for at least 5 wk after adoptive transfer into recombination-activating gene (RAG)-/- recipients. Two discrete populations of proliferating T cells can be resolved, one that is highly proliferative and dependent on CD28 signaling, and the other that contains cells undergoing low levels of CD28-independent proliferation. Importantly, naive CD4+ T cells that have undergone homeostatic proliferation acquire both phenotypic and functional characteristics of true memory cells. These studies indicate that functional memory T cells can be generated by encounters with endogenous Ags only. This mechanism of T cell regeneration is possibly active during lymphopenia due to viral infections, such as HIV, transplantation, or cancer therapy, and may explain selected autoimmune diseases. 相似文献
