The role of adherent cells in an in vitro secondary response to ectromelia virus infection was investigated. Spleen cells from ectromelia-primed mice ("responder" cells) depleted of adherent cells by either carbonyl iron treatment, adherence to plastic or passage through cotton wool columns had a markedly decreased capacity to produce a secondary response, as indicated by decreased T cell-mediated cytotoxicity against virus-infected target cells, when cultured with virus-infected "stimulator" cells. The secondary response was restored by the addition of peritoneal cells from either normal or ectromelia-immune mice. Small numbers of peritoneal cells completely reconstituted the response within a certain dose range but larger numbers produced a marked inhibition of the response. Spleen cells were less effective in restoring the response. The peritoneal cells were not merely acting as additional, infected "stimulator" or antigen-presenting cells, since they could be added as late as 3 days after culture. Reconstituting activity was not affected by pretreatment with anti-theta serum and complement and cell separation studies showed that the activity was associated mainly with Ig-negative cells and that the active cell probably bears Ia antigens on its surface. These results indicate that the adherent cells involved are probably macrophages and that they act non-specifically to produce optimum conditions for the specific response of T cells. 相似文献

The effect of four different microtubule (MT) inhibitors on the various stages of human natural killer (NK) cell-mediated cytotoxicity was studied. The MT-disrupting effect of the drugs was monitored by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. All the drugs tested, vinblastine sulfate, demecolcine, nocodazole, and taxol, had only a slight inhibitory effect on NK activity. Cells with nonfunctional MT were capable of normal conjugate formation and polarization of actin-containing microfilaments. Natural killer cell cytotoxic factor (NKCF) activity produced by cells with nonfunctional MT was slightly diminished. MT disruption caused enlargement of Golgi cisternae, but did not, however, dissociate the overall structural organization of the Golgi complex. The results indicate that fresh human NK cells are capable of lytic activity without functional MT although MT play a small supportive role in production or secretion of NKCF and mediation of the lytic activity. Previous experiments by us and others have strongly suggested that NK cells mediate their cytolytic activity by directed secretion of toxic material. As NK cells with unfunctional microtubules are capable of close to normal secretion the results presented in this report are not inconsistent with the earlier suggested stimulus-secretion model. 相似文献

C57BL10 (H-2b) mice were immunized intraperitoneally with the P815 (H-2d) mastocytoma. Cytolytic activity measured by the 51Cr-release assay and cytostatic activity measured by 125I-labeled UdR incorporation were assessed in the peritoneal population 12 days after tumor inoculation. Both antitumor effects were immunologically specific and totally dependent on T cells. In the adherent fraction of the immune peritoneal population cytostasis was quantitatively of greater significance than cytolysis. Despite the predominance of macrophages as identified functionally and morphologically, cytostatic activity of the adherent fraction appeared to depend on a small proportion (<13%) of adherent T cells. In addition, a macrophage of highly characteristic morphology was identified in the adherent population. This cell was relatively large and packed with large osmophilic granules. 相似文献

The role of accessory cell populations in the generation of effector suppressor (Ts3) cells was studied. By using an in vitro culture system, it was previously determined that the induction of NP-specific effector suppressor activity requires T cells, antigen, and an anti-idiotypic B cell population. We now demonstrate that the generation of Ts3 cells in this system also requires accessory cells. The accessory population appears to play a role in the processing and presentation of antigen. These antigen-presenting accessory cells are required early in the induction phase of Ts3 generation. These accessory cells can present NP coupled to immunogenic or non-immunogenic polypeptide carriers, including polymers of L-amino acids. However, NP coupled to polymers of poorly metabolized D-amino acids fail to induce suppressor T cell generation. Furthermore, the data demonstrate that an H-2 homology must exist between the Ts3 precursors and the antigen-presenting cell population if suppressor activity is to be generated. We also characterize the differential genetic restrictions that govern the induction of Ts3 cells that control suppression of either T cell or B cell responses. The data suggest that although I-J region encoded gene products control the induction and effector phases of suppressor cell activity as measured on T cell responses, the suppression of B cell responses appear to be controlled by I-A gene products. Possible cellular mechanisms that might explain these findings are discussed. 相似文献

The rate of disintegration of target cells subsequent to lytic programming by human peripheral blood natural killer (NK) cells was investigated using a quantitative calcium pulse technique. The rate of this initial calcium-independent target cell disintegration was indicative of a first-order decay process for programmed target cells with a calculated half-life of less than 3 min. This initial, rapid disintegration phase was independent of the overall cytotoxic activity of the lymphocyte preparation tested. Moreover, initial rates of target cell disintegration were comparable for target cell lines that exhibit up to 6-fold differences in overall susceptibility to natural cytotoxicity. In these studies we also consistently observed very slow, calcium-independent disintegration of additional target cells following apparent completion of the rapid disintegration process. Using a 51Cr release assay and K-562 target cells, the kinetics of this slow disintegration process were examined and found to be similar for donors exhibiting up to a 2-fold difference in overall cytotoxic activity and independent of the concentration of programed target cells. Whereas the initial rapid disintegration mechanism was independent of temperature over the range of 10-37 degrees C, the slow disintegration mechanism exhibited a direct dependence on the incubation temperature. Furthermore, we observed that supernatants obtained after the termination of lytic programing by ethylene diaminetetraacetic acid could effect the slow lysis of fresh NK-susceptible target cell lines. These results support the utilization of at least two distinct mechanisms for target cell lysis by human NK cells. 相似文献

Tumor-induced apoptosis of human IL-2-activated NK cells: role of natural cytotoxicity receptors 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Poggi A Massaro AM Negrini S Contini P Zocchi MR 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2005,174(5):2653-2660
We provide evidence that tumor cells can induce apoptosis of NK cells by engaging the natural cytotoxicity receptors (NCR) NKp30, NKp44, and NKp46. Indeed, the binding between NCR on NK cells and their putative ligands on tumor target cells led to NK cell apoptosis, and this event was abolished by blocking NCR/NCR-ligand interaction by anti-NCR-specific mAbs. The engagement of NCR induced up-regulation of Fas ligand (FasL) mRNA, FasL protein synthesis, and release. In turn, FasL interacting with Fas at NK cell surface causes NK cell suicide, as apoptosis of NK cells was inhibited by blocking FasL/Fas interaction with specific mAbs. Interestingly, NK cell apoptosis, but not killing of tumor target cells, is inhibited by cyclosporin A, suggesting that apoptosis and cytolysis are regulated by different biochemical pathways. These findings indicate that NCR are not only triggering molecules essential for antitumor activity, but also surface receptors involved in NK cell suicide. 相似文献

We recently observed that certain tumor cell lines in tissue culture produced prostaglandins and that increased production occurred when the tumor cells were exposed to lymphocytes. The present experiments tested the effect of prostaglandins E1 and E2 on natural and antibody-dependent lymphocyte cytotoxicity against the same target cells in order to determine whether the production of prostaglandins by the tumor cells might influence the efficacy of the cellular immune response. Target cell lines T24 and HCV29 were labeled with 51Chromium and incubated at 37 °C for various times with lymphocytes prepared from venous blood of normal donors. Antiserum to T24 and varying concentrations of prostaglandin E1 or E2 were added to the samples prior to incubation. In some experiments, lymphocytes or labeled target cells were preincubated with prostaglandins and then washed prior to their addition to the assay tubes. Cytotoxicity was determined by measuring the release of 51Chromium from the target cells after incubation. Both prostaglandins E1 and E2 inhibited natural and antibody-dependent lymphocyte cytotoxicity against the target cells. The effect appeared to represent a direct one on lymphocytes, and it was amplified by the presence of theophylline in the medium. Inhibition could be effected early on in lymphocyte/target cell interaction, and only a short exposure of lymphocytes to prostaglandins was required for the effect to be manifested. It thus appears that the production of prostaglandins by tumor cells may constitute a means by which the tumor cells subvert the effect of a cellular immune response that is directed against them. 相似文献

Lysis of dengue virus-infected cells by natural cell-mediated cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity 总被引:5,自引:5,他引:5 下载免费PDF全文
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from humans without antibodies to dengue 2 virus lysed dengue 2 virus-infected Raji cells to a significantly greater degree than uninfected Raji cells. The addition of mouse anti-dengue antibody increased the lysis of dengue-infected Raji cells by PBMC. Dengue 2 immune human sera also increased lysis of dengue-infected Raji cells by PBMC. These results indicate that both PBMC-mediated cytotoxicity and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) can cause significant lysis of dengue-infected Raji cells. The lysis of infected Raji cells in the ADCC assay correlated with the dilution of dengue-specific antibody which was added, indicating the dengue virus specificity of the lysis of dengue virus-infected Raji cells. Alpha interferon (IFN alpha) was detected in the culture supernatant of PBMC and dengue-infected Raji cells. However, enhanced lysis of dengue-infected Raji cells by PBMC may not be due to the IFN produced, because neutralization of all IFN activity with anti-IFN alpha antibody did not decrease the lysis of dengue-infected cells, and effector cells pretreated with exogenous IFN alpha also lysed dengue-infected cells to a greater degree than uninfected cells. The effector cells responsible for lysis of dengue virus-infected Raji cells in the natural killer and ADCC assays were analyzed. Nonadherent PBMC caused more lysis than did adherent cells. Characterization of nonadherent cells with monoclonal antibodies showed that the predominant responsible effector cells were contained in OKM1+ and OKT3- fraction in the natural killer and ADCC assays. 相似文献

Recognition of vaccinia virus-infected cells by human natural killer cells depends on natural cytotoxicity receptors 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
Natural Killer (NK) cells are important in the immune response to a number of viruses; however, the mechanisms used by NK cells to discriminate between healthy and virus-infected cells are only beginning to be understood. Infection with vaccinia virus provokes a marked increase in the susceptibility of target cells to lysis by NK cells, and we show that recognition of the changes in the target cell induced by vaccinia virus infection depends on the natural cytotoxicity receptors NKp30, NKp44, and NKp46. Vaccinia virus infection does not induce expression of ligands for the activating NKG2D receptor, nor does downregulation of major histocompatibility complex class I molecules appear to be of critical importance for altered target cell susceptibility to NK cell lysis. The increased susceptibility to lysis by NK cells triggered upon poxvirus infection depends on a viral gene, or genes, transcribed early in the viral life cycle and present in multiple distinct orthopoxviruses. The more general implications of these data for the processes of innate immune recognition are discussed. 相似文献

This study was designed to determine if murine natural killer (NK) cells play a role in host protection against a Salmonella typhimurium challenge infection. Outbred ICR mice injected intravenously with either attenuated (RIA strain) or virulent (SR-11 strain) salmonellae elicited enhanced killing of YAC-1 targets, which was maximal at 24 h after challenging. When NK cells were depleted with antiasialo GM1 prior to challenging, the splenic bacterial numbers were significantly less in this group of mice compared to sham-injected and challenged animals. The rabbit antiasialo GM1 sera had no detectable direct or indirect effect on the salmonellae. Our results indicate that the NK or natural suppressor cells may be functioning as down-regulators. 相似文献

In order to separate and characterize cytotoxic effector cells in natural cell-mediated cytotoxicity (NCMC), human lymphocytes were fractionated by Percoll continuous density gradient centrifugation (Pharmacia, Piscataway, N.J.). Lymphocytes from normal donors were fractionated through a 35-ml gradient and 2- or 3-ml aliquots were collected, counted, and grouped into three or more fractions in order to obtain sufficient cells for testing. Fractions of cells were tested for cytotoxicity in a 4-hr chromium release test and/or a 40-hr [3H]proline assay. Cell markers were assessed by testing for cells forming E rosettes, EA rosettes, and for cells with surface membrane immunoglobulin (SMIg). The lightest fraction contained larger cells and also usually contained the highest concentrations of cells with receptors for the Fc portion of IgG (FcR + cells), although slight variations were seen among individual donors. Results of cytotoxicity tests showed that cells from the top portions of the Percoll gradient had consistently greater cytotoxic activity on a per cell basis than the denser cells sedimenting lower. Estimation of cytotoxic activity in lytic units showed that 54–75% of the activity was recovered in the top 26–29% of the cells. This approach to investigating cell-mediated cytotoxicity should yield useful information regarding cellular interaction in, and regulation of, cytotoxic activities. 相似文献

Lectin-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with uterine cervix carcinoma was evaluated using human adherent 3H-TdR-prelabeled HEp-2 epipharynx carcinoma cells as targets at a 50:1 effector-target cell ratio with 25 micrograms concanavalin A/ml in a 24-h assay. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 13 patients with cervical carcinoma in stage IV failed to exert cytotoxicity against HEp-2 targets. In contrast, an increased survival (decreased detachment from the monolayer) of HEp-2 cells was observed in the presence of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients, this being significantly enhanced by addition of concanavalin A during the lectin-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity assay. 相似文献

Asthma, an inflammatory disorder of the airways, has been considered a disease mediated by allergen-specific Th2 cells and eosinophils, and controlled by allergen-specific regulatory T cells. This paradigm can explain many but features of asthma, but Th2 targeted therapies in patients with asthma have not been as successful as might be predicted by this paradigm. These observations have suggested that other cell types, such as Natural Killer T cells, may play an important role in asthma. In this review, we discuss the data that support the notion that NKT cells critically regulate the development of asthma. 相似文献

Bombesin and the two mammalian bombesin-related peptides, gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP) and neuromedin C, at physiological concentrations have been previously shown to stimulate significantly in vitro the antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and natural killer (NK) activities in BALB/c mouse leukocytes from axillary nodes, spleen and thymus. In the present work we have shown that adherent cells are required in leukocyte samples for stimulation of cytotoxicity by the neuropeptides, which suggests that this effect may be mediated by those cells. Here we demonstrate the specificity of the effects by reversing them in the presence of the bombesin-antagonist (Leu13-ΨCH2NH-Leu14)-BN, and by detecting specific receptors for GRP on macrophages of high and low affinity. Using the same binding technics, no receptors for this neuropeptide were found in non-adherent leukocytes. 相似文献

Nude BALB/c mice (athymic) were more susceptible to fatal herpes simplex virus (HSV) than normal BALB/c mice (P = 0.002). The peritoneal cells of nude mice mediated levels of antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) of equal or greater magnitude than cells from normal BALB/c, heterozygote nu/+, or C57BL/6 mice. Unstimulated natural killer cytotoxicity of peritoneal cells from nude mice was higher (P less than 0.05) than that mediated by cells from C57BL/6 mice. Nude mice failed to make anti-HSV ADCC antibody 6 to 14 days post HSV inoculation, at times when nu/+, BALB/c, and C57BL/6 mice produced antibody. Passive reconstitution of nude mice with high titer intraperitoneal anti-HSV immune globulin provided circulating anti-HSV ADCC antibody and significant protection against lethal HSV infection. 相似文献

Observed localization of the long-term cultured rat adherent natural killer cells in mammary tumor tissues 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Adherent natural killer (A-NK) cells were isolated from splenic lymphocytes and treated with long-term culture in the presence
of recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2). Immunocytochemical and flow-cytometric analysis revealed that most of the A-NK cells
strongly expressed lymphocyte-function-associated antigen 1 (LFA-1α, and LFA-1β) throughout the incubation. All A-NK cells
from 8- to 150-day cultures, particularly those cultured for 8 days, showed significant cytolytic activity against all targets.
Analysis of the tissue distribution of the injected [3H] uridine-labeled A-NK cells demonstrated that, in the first 3 h, most (over 60%) cells localized in the lungs, and that
most cells remained temporally within the cavities of blood capillaries of the lungs and moved gradually into lymphoid and
other tissues. Peritumoral injection of various kinds of adjuvant, particularly Freund's complete adjuvant (FCA) plus bacillus
Calmetee-Guérin (BCG), resulted in a marked accumulation of [3H]A-NK cells in mammary tumor tissues 24 h after injection, and simultaneously in the formation of vessels resembling high-endothelium
venules (HEV), infiltration of LFA-1+ lymphocytes and expression of the ICAM-1 molecule on the tumor cells in the sites of tumor tissues. When 30 × 106 A-NK cells were intravenously administered, significant retardation of tumor growth and prolongation of survival of tumor-bearing
rats were observed in the groups that received the prior injection of adjuvants, especially FCA + BCG and Freund's incomplete
adjuvant (FIA) + BCG. The suppressive effect of combination therapy on tumor growth was blocked effectively by the injection
of anti-ICAM-1 mAb. These results indicate that the prior injection of proper adjuvant into the peritumoral region is effective
for the selective accumulation or infiltration of A-NK cells into the sites of tumor tissues, and results in the marked retardation
of tumor growth.

The effect of autologous serum in cellular cytotoxicity was compared with the level of antibody towards the same target cells. In cancer patients, a highly significant correlation (P < 0.001) argues that enhancement of cytotoxicity by autologous serum is due to high antibody levels, and conversely an inhibition of cytotoxicity is associated with low antibody. Moreover, some antibody was detected in virtually all cancer patient and normal donor sera. It is suggested that antibody may be responsible for cytotoxicity conventionally ascribed to “natural killer” cells. 相似文献
