In order to fully understand T cell-mediated immunity, the mechanisms that regulate clonal expansion and cytokine production by CD4+ antigen-specific effector T cells in response to a wide range of antigenic stimulation needs clarification. For this purpose, panels of antigen-specific CD4+ T cell clones with different thresholds for antigen-induced proliferation were generated by repeated stimulation with high- or low-dose antigen. Differences in antigen sensitivities did not correlate with expression of TCR, CD4, adhesion or costimulatory molecules. There was no significant difference in antigen-dependent cytokine production by TG40 cells transfected with TCR obtained from either high- or low-dose-responding T cell clones, suggesting that the affinity of TCRs for their ligands is not primary determinant of T cell antigen reactivity. The proliferative responses of all T cell clones to both peptide stimulation and to TCRβ crosslinking revealed parallel dose-response curves. These results suggest that the TCR signal strength of effector T cells and threshold of antigen reactivity is determined by an intrinsic property, such as the TCR signalosome and/or intracellular signaling machinery. Finally, the antigen responses of high- and low-peptide-responding T cell clones reveal that clonal expansion and cytokine production of effector T cells occur independently of antigen concentration. Based on these results, the mechanisms underlying selection of high “avidity” effector and memory T cells in response to pathogen are discussed. 相似文献

In this report, we address whether a growing tumor provides sufficient inflammatory signals to promote activation, clonal expansion, and acquisition of effector functions by naive tumor-specific CD8(+) T lymphocytes. CD8(+) T lymphocytes obtained from hemagglutinin (HA)-specific clone 4 TCR-transgenic mice were injected into recipient mice that spontaneously develop pancreatic tumors expressing HA as a tumor-associated Ag (RIP-Tag2-HA mice). When 3 x 10(6) clone 4 CD8(+) T cells were transferred into tumor-bearing mice, the cells became activated in the pancreatic lymph nodes where they proliferated and acquired effector functions such as cytolytic activity and IFN-gamma production. Surprisingly, reducing the number of adoptively transferred CD8(+) T cells led to a parallel reduction in the proportion of the activated cells that exhibited effector functions, suggesting that CTL differentiation was induced by the large numbers of activated CD8(+) T cells and not the tumor environment. Provision of tumor-specific CD4(+) helper cells provided the signals required to promote both the development of CTL effector functions and increased clonal expansion, resulting in tumor eradication. Considering that only small numbers of tumor-specific CD8(+) T cells would be present in a conventional T cell repertoire, these data suggest that tumor growth alone may not provide the inflammatory signals necessary to support the development of CD8(+) T cell effector functions. 相似文献

Adhesion and degranulation-promoting adapter protein (ADAP) positively regulates T cell sensitivity to antigen and T cell survival 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Mueller KL Thomas MS Burbach BJ Peterson EJ Shimizu Y 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2007,179(6):3559-3569
The hemopoietic specific adapter protein ADAP (adhesion and degranulation-promoting adapter protein) positively regulates TCR-dependent, integrin-mediated adhesion and participates in signaling pathways downstream of the TCR that result in T cell activation. The specific role of ADAP in regulating Ag-dependent T cell interactions with APCs and T cell activation following Ag stimulation is not known. We used ADAP-/- DO11.10 T cells to demonstrate that ADAP promotes T cell conjugation to Ag-laden APCs. Complementary in vitro and in vivo approaches reveal that ADAP controls optimal T cell proliferation, cytokine production, and expression of the prosurvival protein Bcl-xL in response to limiting Ag doses. Furthermore, ADAP is critical for clonal expansion in vivo independent of Ag concentration under conditions of low clonal abundance. These results suggest that ADAP regulates T cell activation by promoting Ag-dependent T cell-APC interactions, resulting in enhanced T cell sensitivity to Ag, and by participating in prosurvival signaling pathways initiated by Ag stimulation. 相似文献

Although it is well documented that feeding Ag can tolerize or prime systemic humoral and cell-mediated immune responses, the mechanisms involved remain unclear. Elucidation of these mechanisms remains, in part, complicated by the inability to assess responses by individual lymphocyte populations. In the past, in vivo studies have examined T cell responses at the gross level by examining their ability to support B cell Ab production. However, as the fed Ag has the capacity to affect B cells directly, analyzing the functional capacity of a single Ag-specific T cell population in vivo has been difficult. Using a double-adoptive transfer system, we have primed or tolerized T cells, independently of B cells with a high dose of fed Ag, and examined the ability of these primed or tolerized T cells to support B cell clonal expansion in response to a conjugated Ag in vivo. We have been able to show that primed T cells support B cell clonal expansion and Ab production whereas tolerized T cells do not. Thus, we have provided direct evidence that tolerized T cells are functionally unable to help B cells in vivo. Furthermore, we have shown that this inability of tolerized T cells to support fulminant B cell responses is not a result of defective clonal expansion or follicular migration, since following challenge tolerized T cells are similar to primed T cells in both of these functions. 相似文献

Antigen-experienced T cells undergo a transient phase of unresponsiveness following optimal stimulation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
De Mattia F Chomez S Van Laethem F Moulin V Urbain J Moser M Leo O Andris F 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1999,163(11):5929-5936
Interaction of the Ag-specific receptor of T lymphocytes with its Ag/MHC ligand can lead either to cell activation or to a state of unresponsiveness often referred to as anergy. It has been generally assumed that anergy develops as a consequence of inadequate stimulation, such as in response to altered peptide ligands or to agonists presented by costimulatory-deficient accessory cells. The present study uncovers an alternative way of inducing an unresponsive state in T cells. Indeed, we demonstrate herein that Ag-stimulation of murine CD4+ Th clones induces cellular activation, characterized by cytokine production and cell proliferation, followed by a state of transient (lasting up to 6 days) unresponsiveness to further antigenic stimulation. This state of activation-induced unresponsiveness 1) is not a consequence of inadequate costimulation, as it occurs when cells are stimulated in the presence of dendritic cells or anti-CD28 Abs; 2) develops after an optimal response to Ag; 3) is not due to cell death/apoptosis or CTLA-4 engagement; 4) down-regulates the proliferation and cytokine production of both Th1- and Th2-like clones; and 5) does not affect the early steps of signal transduction. Finally, naive T cells are not sensitive to this novel form of unresponsiveness, but become gradually susceptible to activation-induced unresponsiveness upon Ag stimulation. Collectively, these data suggest that activation-induced T cell unresponsiveness may represent a regulatory mechanism limiting the clonal expansion and effector cell function of Ag-experienced T cells, thus contributing to the homeostasis of an immune response. 相似文献

CD8 T cell clonal expansion and development of effector function require prolonged exposure to antigen, costimulation, and signal 3 cytokine 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Full activation of naive CD8 T cells requires Ag, costimulation, and a third signal that can be provided by IL-12. Brief exposure (6 h) to Ag and B7-1 is sufficient to stimulate multiple rounds of cell division, but clonal expansion and development of effector function are minimal even when signal 3 is present. Full activation instead requires concerted signaling by Ag, B7-1, and IL-12 for greater than 40 h. Thus, the gene expression program required for cell division can be initiated by brief interaction with Ag and costimulation, but maintaining the expression of the genes needed for survival and effector function requires prolonged signaling by a signal 3 cytokine in concert with Ag and costimulation. 相似文献

Activation of T cells is dependent upon coordinate engagement of Ag and costimulator receptors on their surfaces. In the case of the Ag receptors (TCRs), activation thresholds have been defined, with the number of TCRs that must be triggered to stimulate cytokine secretion by individual activated T cells differing for the various cytokines. In the present study, we have determined whether comparable activation thresholds exist for the costimulator receptors on T cells. To facilitate this type of quantitative costimulator analysis, we developed a novel two-step protein transfer approach that permits delivery of graded amounts of proteins to APC surfaces. By adding a human B7-1. Fcgamma1 (Fc domain of human IgG1) fusion protein to cells precoated with palmitated protein A, fine titration of the B7-1 extracellular domain was achieved. The B7-1. Fcgamma1 reincorporated into cell membranes by this method retained costimulator function, as measured by an in vitro proliferation assay. The degree of proliferation was dependent on the surface density of B7-1. Fcgamma1. Significantly, the threshold B7-1. Fcgamma1 density required for cytokine production differed between IFN-gamma and IL-2 and mirrored the hierarchy (IFN-gamma < IL-2) described previously for the TCR activation threshold. Hence, this study invokes a novel protein transfer strategy to establish that the levels of surface costimulator on APCs can dictate both the magnitude and the quality of evoked T cell responses. The notion of costimulator receptor activation thresholds emerges. 相似文献

Va14Ja18 natural T (iNKT) cells rapidly elicit a robust effector response to different glycolipid Ags, with distinct functional outcomes. Biochemical parameters controlling iNKT cell function are partly defined. However, the impact of iNKT cell receptor beta-chain repertoire and how alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-GalCer) analogues induce distinct functional responses have remained elusive. Using altered glycolipid ligands, we discovered that the Vb repertoire of iNKT cells impacts recognition and Ag avidity, and that stimulation with suboptimal avidity Ag results in preferential expansion of high-affinity iNKT cells. iNKT cell proliferation and cytokine secretion, which correlate with iNKT cell receptor down-regulation, are induced within narrow biochemical thresholds. Multimers of CD1d1-alphaGalCer- and alphaGalCer analogue-loaded complexes demonstrate cooperative engagement of the Va14Ja18 iNKT cell receptor whose structure and/or organization appear distinct from conventional alphabeta TCR. Our findings demonstrate that iNKT cell functions are controlled by affinity thresholds for glycolipid Ags and reveal a novel property of their Ag receptor apparatus that may have an important role in iNKT cell activation. 相似文献

Ag encounter in the absence of proliferation results in the establishment of T cell unresponsiveness, also known as T cell clonal anergy. Anergic T cells fail to proliferate upon restimulation because of the inability to produce IL-2 and to properly regulate the G(1) cell cycle checkpoint. Because optimal TCR and CD28 engagement can elicit IL-2-independent cell cycle progression, we investigated whether CD3/CD28-mediated activation of anergic T cells could overcome G(1) cell cycle block, drive T cell proliferation, and thus reverse clonal anergy. We show here that although antigenic stimulation fails to elicit G(1)-to-S transition, anti-CD3/CD28 mAbs allow proper cell cycle progression and proliferation of anergic T cells. However, CD3/CD28-mediated cell division does not restore Ag responsiveness. Our data instead indicate that reversal of clonal anergy specifically requires an IL-2-dependent, rapamycin-sensitive signal, which is delivered independently of cell proliferation. Thus, by tracing proliferation and Ag responsiveness of individual cells, we show that whereas both TCR/CD28 and IL-2-generated signals can drive T cell proliferation, only IL-2/IL-2R interaction regulates Ag responsiveness, indicating that proliferation and clonal anergy can be independently regulated. 相似文献

The functional profile of primary human antiviral CD8+ T cell effector activity is dictated by cognate peptide concentration 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Betts MR Price DA Brenchley JM Loré K Guenaga FJ Smed-Sorensen A Ambrozak DR Migueles SA Connors M Roederer M Douek DC Koup RA 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2004,172(10):6407-6417
Antiviral CD8(+) T cells can elaborate at least two effector functions, cytokine production and cytotoxicity. Which effector function is elaborated can determine whether the CD8(+) T cell response is primarily inflammatory (cytokine producing) or antiviral (cytotoxic). In this study we demonstrate that cytotoxicity can be triggered at peptide concentrations 10- to 100-fold less than those required for cytokine production in primary HIV- and CMV-specific human CD8(+) T cells. Cytolytic granule exocytosis occurs at peptide concentrations insufficient to cause substantial TCR down-regulation, providing a mechanism by which a CD8(+) T cell could engage and lyse multiple target cells. TCR sequence analysis of virus-specific cells shows that individual T cell clones can degranulate or degranulate and produce cytokine depending on the Ag concentration, indicating that response heterogeneity exists within individual CD8(+) T cell clonotypes. Thus, antiviral CD8(+) T cell effector function is determined primarily by Ag concentration and is not an inherent characteristic of a virus-specific CD8(+) T cell clonotype or the virus to which the response is generated. The inherent ability of viruses to induce high or low Ag states may be the primary determinant of the cytokine vs cytolytic nature of the virus-specific CD8(+) T cell response. 相似文献

Regulation of the magnitude and quality of immune responses is dependent on the integration of multiple signals which typically operate through positive and negative feedback loops. Cytokines that promote or limit T cell expansion and differentiation are often both present in the complex lymphoid environment where antigen-initiated T cell responses take place. The nature and strength of the cytokine signal received by the responding cell, as well as by surrounding regulatory cells, will determine the extent of clonal expansion and the progression towards effector and memory cell differentiation. The mechanisms that determine how much cytokine is produced and how cytokine activities are controlled by receptor expression and intracellular regulators of signaling are not fully understood. Here we discuss the opposing functions of two members of the common receptor gamma chain (γc) cytokines, IL-2 and IL-7 in the generation and regulation of immune responses in vivo. 相似文献

CD8 T cells need a third signal, along with Ag and costimulation, for effective survival and development of effector functions, and this can be provided by IL-12 or type I IFN. Adoptively transferred OT-I T cells, specific for H-2K(b) and OVA, encounter Ag in the draining lymph nodes of mice with the OVA-expressing E.G7 tumor growing at a s.c. site. The OT-I cells respond by undergoing limited clonal expansion and development of effector functions (granzyme B expression and IFN-gamma production), and they migrate to the tumor where they persist but fail to control tumor growth. In contrast, OT-I T cells deficient for both the IL-12 and type I IFN receptors expand only transiently and rapidly disappear. These results suggested that some signal 3 cytokine is available, but that it is insufficient to support a CTL response that can control tumor growth. Consistent with this, administration of IL-12 at day 10 of tumor growth resulted in a large and sustained expansion of wild-type OT-I cells with enhanced effector functions, and tumor growth was controlled. This did not occur when the OT-I cells lacked the IL-12 and type I IFN receptors, demonstrating that the therapeutic effect of IL-12 results from direct delivery of signal 3 to the CD8 T cells responding to tumor Ag in the signal 3-deficient environment of the tumor. 相似文献

Systemic activation and proliferation of CD8(+) T cells result in T cell accumulation in the liver, associated with T cell apoptosis and liver injury. However, the role of Ag and APC in such accumulation is not clear. Bone marrow chimeras were constructed to allow Ag presentation in all tissues or alternatively to restrict presentation to either bone marrow-derived or non-bone marrow-derived cells. OVA-specific CD8(+) T cells were introduced by adoptive transfer and then activated using peptide, which resulted in clonal expansion followed by deletion. Ag presentation by liver non-bone marrow-derived cells was responsible for most of the accumulation of activated CD8(+) T cells. In contrast, Ag presentation by bone marrow-derived cells resulted in less accumulation of T cells in the liver, but a higher frequency of apoptotic cells within the intrahepatic T cell population. In unmodified TCR-transgenic mice, Ag-induced T cell deletion and intrahepatic accumulation of CD8(+) T cells result in hepatocyte damage, with the release of aminotransaminases. Our experiments show that such liver injury may occur in the absence of Ag presentation by the hepatocytes themselves, arguing for an indirect mechanism of liver damage. 相似文献

Loss of T cell CD98 H chain specifically ablates T cell clonal expansion and protects from autoimmunity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

CD98 H chain (4F2 Ag, Slc3a2) was discovered as a lymphocyte-activation Ag. Deletion of CD98 H chain in B cells leads to complete failure of B cell proliferation, plasma cell formation, and Ab secretion. In this study, we examined the role of T cell CD98 in cell-mediated immunity and autoimmune disease pathogenesis by specifically deleting it in murine T cells. Deletion of T cell CD98 prevented experimental autoimmune diabetes associated with dramatically reduced T cell clonal expansion. Nevertheless, initial T cell homing to pancreatic islets was unimpaired. In sharp contrast to B cells, CD98-null T cells showed only modestly impaired Ag-driven proliferation and nearly normal homeostatic proliferation. Furthermore, these cells were activated by Ag, leading to cytokine production (CD4) and efficient cytolytic killing of targets (CD8). The integrin-binding domain of CD98 was necessary and sufficient for full clonal expansion, pointing to a role for adhesive signaling in T cell proliferation and autoimmune disease. When we expanded CD98-null T cells in vitro, they adoptively transferred diabetes, establishing that impaired clonal expansion was responsible for protection from disease. Thus, the integrin-binding domain of CD98 is required for Ag-driven T cell clonal expansion in the pathogenesis of an autoimmune disease and may represent a useful therapeutic target. 相似文献

Antigen-specific, MHC-restricted B cell activation by cell-free Th2 cell products. Synergy between antigen-specific helper factors and IL-4 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ag-specific and MHC-restricted Th clones of different Ag specificities and MHC haplotypes were tested for their ability to produce soluble factors capable of providing the signals required for B cell activation and IgG antibody production. Each of five Th clones tested generated significant helper activity in supernatants derived from coculture of the T cell clone with specific Ag and syngeneic APC. The same helper activity was detected in supernatants of clones stimulated with immobilized anti-CD3 antibody in the absence of Ag or APC. The secreted helper activity resembled the activity of the intact Th cells in that it was Ag-specific, carrier-hapten-linked and MHC-restricted. These T cell products functioned to activate only those B cells expressing MHC products which corresponded to the specificity of each Th clone. Thus, the specificity of the cell-free T cell product mimicked precisely that expressed by the intact Th cell and presumably mediated by the cell surface TcR. In addition to the apparent presence of specific helper factor in Th clone supernatants, a role for nonspecific lymphokines was also identified in these preparations. Although recombinant or purified IL-4 alone was not sufficient to stimulate hapten-primed B cells to secrete hapten-specific IgG antibodies, mAb specific for IL-4 blocked the induction of antibody secretion by Th cell supernatant. These results indicate that stimulation of B cells to produce hapten-specific IgG antibody requires at least two distinct signals: an Ag-specific T cell signal which is restricted by MHC products expressed on the B cells, and a nonspecific signal mediated at least in part by the lymphokine IL-4. 相似文献

The relationship between immune interferon production and proliferation in antigen-specific, MHC-restricted T cell lines and clones 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24
The release of immune or gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) by major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-restricted pigeon cytochrome c-specific Lyt 1+2-, interleukin 2 (IL 2)-producing proliferative T cell clones when cultured with antigen and antigen-presenting cells (APC) is a sensitive measure of the state of activation of the cell. In general, the fine specificity of T cell activation was similar when activation was measured either by IFN-gamma production or by proliferation. In response to antigen and the correct Ia molecule, the T cell clones produced both high titered IFN-gamma and a strong proliferative response. However, IFN-gamma production and the degree of proliferation of the T cell clones differed at high antigen concentrations. As antigen concentration increased, the magnitude of proliferation became submaximal whereas the IFN-gamma response became maximal suggesting that IFN-gamma produced by the cells might act as an autoregulatory molecule inhibiting the proliferative response. Stimulating the T cell to divide via its IL 2 receptor by adding exogenous IL 2 produced high levels of proliferation but only low titers of IFN-gamma activity. In addition, irradiation of the clone eliminated the IFN-gamma release induced by IL 2 but did not affect the IFN-gamma release induced by antigen and Ia. Thus proliferation is not essential for IFN-gamma production and unlike antigen and Ia, IL 2 functions predominantly as a proliferative signal and not as a signal for factor release. Two T cell clones showed a dissociation of IFN-gamma production and proliferation. In one case, a clone that proliferated in response to both allogeneic and antigenic stimuli released IFN-gamma in response to antigen but failed to produce IFN-gamma in response to the allogeneic stimulus. A second clone that showed a strong proliferative response to pigeon cytochrome c but no proliferative response to a species variant of cytochrome c, tobacco hornworm moth (THWM) cytochrome c, produced IFN-gamma when stimulated with either of these antigens. Thus, the sensitivity of detecting activation of T cell clones as measured by the release of an individual lymphokine varies from one clone to another. 相似文献

IL-21, the most recently described member of the common gamma-chain cytokine family, is produced by activated CD4 T cells, whereas CD8 T cells express the IL-21 receptor. To investigate a possible role for IL-21 in the priming of naive CD8 T cells, we examined responses of highly purified naive OT-I CD8 T cells to artificial APCs displaying Ag and B7-1 on their surface. We found that IL-21 enhanced OT-I clonal expansion and supported development of cytotoxic effector function. High levels of IL-2 did not support development of effector functions, but IL-2 was required for optimal responses in the presence of IL-21. IL-12 and IFN-alpha have previously been shown to support naive CD8 T cell differentiation and acquisition of effector functions through a STAT4-dependent mechanism. Here, we show that IL-21 does not require STAT4 to stimulate development of cytolytic activity. Furthermore, IL-21 fails to induce IFN-gamma or IL-4 production and can partially block IL-12 induction of IFN-gamma production. CD8 T cells that differentiate in response to IL-21 have a distinct surface marker expression pattern and are characterized as CD44(high), PD-1(low), CD25(low), CD134(low), and CD137(low). Thus, IL-21 can provide a signal required by naive CD8 T cells to differentiate in response to Ag and costimulation, and the resulting effector cells represent a unique effector phenotype with highly effective cytolytic activity, but deficient capacity to secrete IFN-gamma. 相似文献

Pulmonary surfactant lipoproteins lower the surface tension at the alveolar-airway interface of the lung and participate in host defense. Previous studies reported that surfactant protein A (SP-A) inhibits lymphocyte proliferation. We hypothesized that SP-A-mediated modulation of T cell activation depends upon the strength, duration, and type of lymphocyte activating signals. Modulation of T cell signal strength imparted by different activating agents ex vivo and in vivo in different mouse models and in vitro with human T cells shows a strong correlation between strength of signal (SoS) and functional effects of SP-A interactions. T cell proliferation is enhanced in the presence of SP-A at low SoS imparted by exogenous mitogens, specific Abs, APCs, or in homeostatic proliferation. Proliferation is inhibited at higher SoS imparted by different doses of the same T cell mitogens or indirect stimuli such as LPS. Importantly, reconstitution with exogenous SP-A into the lungs of SP-A(-/-) mice stimulated with a strong signal also resulted in suppression of T cell proliferation while elevating baseline proliferation in unstimulated T cells. These signal strength and SP-A-dependent effects are mediated by changes in intracellular Ca(2+) levels over time, involving extrinsic Ca(2+)-activated channels late during activation. These effects are intrinsic to the global T cell population and are manifested in vivo in naive as well as memory phenotype T cells. Thus, SP-A appears to integrate signal thresholds to control T cell proliferation. 相似文献
