IFN-gamma is an important mediator of cellular resistance against microbial pathogens and tumor cells due in part to its potent capacity to activate macrophages for enhanced cytotoxicity. The present study demonstrates that TNF-alpha regulates the expression of enhanced antimicrobial activity by triggering IFN-gamma primed macrophages to kill or inhibit intracellular Toxoplasma gondii. Resident mouse macrophages stimulated with rIFN-gamma at levels up to 2500 U/ml failed to display enhanced antitoxoplasmal activity when cultured in vitro under low endotoxin conditions (less than 10 pg/ml), but were triggered by addition of small amounts of LPS (0.1 ng/ml). A similar requirement for LPS as a second signal necessary to trigger antitoxoplasmal activity was observed when IFN-gamma was administered to mice in vivo. The essential nature of this triggering step allowed us to explore the role of cytokines that act as endogenous regulators of macrophage activation. rTNF-alpha, although unable to confer antitoxoplasmal activity when used alone to treat macrophages, was capable of triggering IFN-gamma-primed macrophages cultured under low endotoxin conditions. The ability of TNF-alpha to trigger IFN-gamma-primed macrophages was blocked by rabbit anti-TNF-alpha polyclonal antisera but was not affected by polymyxin B indicating that TNF-alpha triggering was not due to contamination with LPS. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that TNF-alpha performs an important regulatory role in the expression of enhanced anti-microbial activity by IFN-gamma-primed macrophages. 相似文献

Induction of nitrite/nitrate synthesis in murine macrophages by BCG infection, lymphokines, or interferon-gamma 总被引:69,自引:0,他引:69
Macrophage synthesis of nitrite and nitrate after activation by BCG infection or by treatment in vitro with both T cell-derived (lymphokines (LK) or recombinant murine interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma] and bacterial (lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and heat-killed bacillus Calmette-Guerin (hk BCG] agents was studied by using macrophages from C3H/He and C3H/HeJ mice. Spleen and peritoneal macrophages isolated from BCG-infected donors that were producing nitrate continued to synthesize nitrite and nitrate in culture. LPS treatment in vitro (25 or 50 micrograms/ml) additionally increased this nitrite/nitrate synthesis. Thioglycolate-elicited macrophages from non-infected C3H/HeJ mice treated with LK also produced nitrite/nitrate, and concurrent LPS (0.1 to 50 micrograms/ml) treatment resulted in enhanced synthesis. Recombinant IFN-gamma also stimulated nitrite/nitrate synthesis by C3H/He and CeH/HeJ macrophages as did LPS (C3H/He only) and hk BCG. When given concurrently with either LPS or hk BCG, IFN-gamma enhanced C3H/He and C3H/HeJ macrophage nitrite/nitrate synthesis over that produced by macrophages treated with either LPS or hk BCG alone. Macrophages activated in vitro exhibited a 4 to 12 hr lag time before engaging in nitrite/nitrate synthesis, which then proceeded for 36 to 42 hr at linear rates. Daily medium renewal did not alter the synthesis kinetics but increased the total amount of nitrite/nitrate produced. Nitrate and nitrite were stable under the conditions of culture and when added did not influence additional macrophage synthesis. Taken together, these results indicate that T cell lymphokines and IFN-gamma are powerful modulators of macrophage nitrite/nitrate synthesis during BCG infection and in vitro, and nitrite/nitrate synthesis appears to be common property of both primed and fully activated macrophage populations. 相似文献

IFN-gamma primes murine macrophages to render them responsive for triggering by subactivating concentrations of bacterial LPS to mediate nonspecific tumor cytotoxicity. However, IFN-gamma also has direct anti-proliferative effects on transformed cells that serve as sensitive tumor targets for cytotoxic macrophages. We investigated the effects of preexposure of L1210 mouse leukemia and P815 mouse mastocytoma targets to rIFN-gamma on changes in their susceptibility to cytotoxicity by LPS-activated mouse peritoneal macrophages (PM). Co-incubation of inflammatory PM and either L1210 or P815 targets with IFN-gamma and LPS produced a classical synergistic cytotoxicity for both targets over that of IFN-gamma or LPS alone. Similar synergistic augmentation of cytotoxicity occurred when effector PM were preprimed for 24 h with IFN-gamma before testing for cytotoxicity of untreated targets. However, pretreatment of L1210 and P815 targets for 24 h with IFN-gamma (50 U) before assay produced divergent results in that L1210 was more susceptible, whereas P815 was less susceptible to cytotoxicity by LPS-activated macrophages. Similar results were obtained when both macrophages and targets were pretreated separately with IFN-gamma for 24 h before their combined assay for tumor cytotoxicity. Pretreatment of L1210 targets for 1, 4, or 24 h with IFN-gamma produced similar effects on their increased susceptibility to macrophage cytotoxicity. In contrast, P815 pretreated for 1 and 4 h with IFN-gamma showed an early increased susceptibility to macrophage cytotoxicity followed by a decrease after 24 h pretreatment. The pretreatment of L1210 or P815 targets with IFN-gamma before their exposure to LPS-activated macrophages had no effect on the production of TNF. However, there was a corresponding increase in nitric oxide generation by LPS-activated macrophages after their exposure to IFN-gamma pretreated L1210 targets and a decrease in the presence of IFN-gamma-pretreated P815 targets that correlated with their changes in susceptibility to macrophage killing. Nitric oxide generation by macrophages alone in response to LPS was found to be greater than when effector macrophages were exposed to the tumor targets and this was either increased by L1210 or decreased by P815 that had been pretreated with IFN-gamma. Our results indicate that IFN-gamma may act directly and differentially on tumor targets to alter their susceptibility for macrophage cytotoxicity, which was coupled to changes in the generation of cytotoxic nitric oxide, rather than TNF production by the macrophage.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

High strength binding of P815 mastocytoma cells is not necessary for their lysis by macrophages which have been primed and triggered in vitro 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
C Y Lu M J Lombardi C M Shea L B Dustin 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1988,141(4):1083-1090
We have examined the hypothesis that binding of P815 mastocytoma cells is a necessary step in lysis of these cells by macrophages which are both "primed" and "triggered" in vitro, Macrophages "primed" by conditioned media containing IFN-gamma, or by rIFN-gamma have an increased ability to bind P815. However, adding either heat-killed Listeria or endotoxin to trigger the primed macrophages has opposite effects on lysis and binding of P815. Lysis is increased. Binding is dramatically decreased. This is true when centrifugal forces of 200 x g, 400 x g, and 800 x g are used to disrupt P815-macrophage binding. Although 100% of P815 cells bound by cytotoxic macrophages are lysed, a large additional population of unbound P815 is also lysed. Detailed kinetic studies indicate that macrophages do not rapidly bind and lyse several cycles of P815. There is an initial lag period of 4 to 6 h before P815 lysis can be detected, and completion of lytic events then occurs within 12 to 14 h. Lysis of P815 bound to cytotoxic macrophages is slightly slower than lysis of the total population of bound and unbound P815. In contrast, D3.1, a cloned CD4+ T cell line, is tightly bound to macrophages but not lysed efficiently. When macrophages are simultaneously confronted with P815 and macrophage-bound D3.1, only the former are lysed. Altogether, the data indicate that P815-macrophage binding, as operationally defined by our assay, is not a necessary step for lysis. These results, by use of macrophages primed and triggered in vitro, are in contrast to previously reported experiments examining P815 binding and lysis by macrophages activated in vivo by infection with bacillus Calmette-Guérin. 相似文献

Macrophage activation for tumor cell killing is a multistep pathway in which responsive macrophages interact sequentially with priming and triggering stimuli in the acquisition of full tumoricidal activity. A number of mediators have been identified which have activating capability, including in particular IFN-gamma and bacterial LPS. Although the synergistic functional response of normal macrophages to sequential incubation with these activation signals has been well-established, characterization of the intermediate stages in the activation pathway has been difficult. We have developed a model system for examination of various aspects of macrophage activation, through the use of the murine macrophage tumor cell line, RAW 264.7. These cells, like normal macrophages, exhibit a strict requirement for interaction with both IFN-gamma and LPS in the development of tumor cytolytic activity. In addition, these cells can be stably primed by the administration of gamma-radiation. In the studies reported here, we have used RAW 264.7 cells treated with IFN-gamma alone or with IFN-gamma plus LPS to stimulate the production of rat mAb probes recognizing cell surface changes occurring during the activation process. In this way we have identified three Ag associated with intermediate stages of the activation process. One Ag, TM-1, is expressed on RAW 264.7 cells primed by IFN-gamma or gamma-radiation. This surface Ag thus identifies cells at the primed cell intermediate stage of the tumoricidal activation pathway regardless of the mechanism of activation. A second Ag, TM-2, is expressed on IFN-treated RAW 264.7 cells but not on RAW 264.7 cells primed with gamma-radiation alone. Expression of this Ag can be induced by treatment of irradiated cells with IFN-gamma, but is not induced by IFN-gamma treatment of a noncytolytic cell line, WEHI-3. This Ag thus appears to be an IFN-inducible cell surface protein associated specifically with macrophage activation for tumoricidal activity. Finally, Ag TM-3 is detectable on RAW 264.7 cells primed by either IFN-gamma or gamma-radiation, after subsequent triggering of the primed cells with LPS. The addition of the mAb recognizing this antigen to the function assay of tumor cell killing can inhibit they lytic activity of both triggered cells. Thus, this Ag may play a role in the antitumor effector functions of activated macrophages. Overall, the results suggest that these mAb can serve as useful tools for identification of molecules associated with the process of macrophage activation for tumor cell killing. 相似文献

The effect of bacterial lipopolysaccharide on the Fc-receptor-mediated respiratory burst in murine peritoneal macrophages has been examined. After treatment overnight with small quantities of LPS, macrophages exhibited dramatic diminution of their capacity to generate and secrete H2O2 when triggered with immune complexes. The effect of LPS treatment was dependent on the state of macrophage functional activation; only cells that were primed or fully activated in vivo or were treated with interferon-gamma in vitro were sensitive to this effect of LPS. The LPS-mediated loss of secretory function was both dose and time dependent and could be reproduced with the lipid A moiety of LPS. The effect was selective for H2O2 secretion triggered through the Fc receptor; the respiratory burst stimulated by phorbol diesters remained unaltered. Furthermore, LPS treatment did not alter either binding or ingestion of radiolabeled immune complexes in parallel with the change in H2O2 secretion, indicating that the suppressive effect was not due to compromised endocytic function. These results indicate that LPS treatment of primed macrophages regulates the function of Fc receptors and may uncouple receptor occupancy from generation and secretion of H2O2. 相似文献

Production of tumor necrosis factor by rIFN-gamma-primed C3H/HeJ (Lpsd) macrophages requires the presence of lipid A-associated proteins 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20
Previous studies have shown that the activation of murine macrophages to a fully tumoricidal state requires that specific environmental signals be delivered to the macrophage in a step-wise manner: a "priming" signal first renders the macrophage stimulated, but not cytolytic. The addition of a second or "trigger" signal to the primed macrophage results in tumoricidal activity. One potent priming signal has been identified as IFN-gamma and one often used trigger signal for endotoxin-responsive (Lpsn) macrophages is LPS. In contrast to LPS-responsive macrophage, rIFN-gamma-primed C3H/HeJ (Lpsd) macrophages fail to become cytolytic in response to protein-free, phenol-water-extracted LPS preparations, but become tumoricidal when exposed in vitro to protein-rich butanol-extracted LPS or purified lipid A-associated proteins. Further characterization of the activation requirements of the C3H/HeJ macrophages revealed that for optimal elaboration of TNF in vitro, two signals were also required: rIFN-gamma and a second signal that contained LAP. C3H/HeJ macrophages macrophages primed with rIFN-gamma failed to produce TNF in response to any concentration of protein-free phenol-water extracted LPS, even when supernatants were concentrated before assaying for functional activity in a standard TNF L929 fibroblast assay. Although exposure of rIFN-gamma-primed C3H/HeJ macrophages to LAP resulted in a fully tumoricidal state equivalent to that exhibited by C3H/OuJ macrophages, the levels of TNF produced remained discrepant. Under identical conditions, C3H/OuJ macrophages produced approximately fivefold more TNF (11,776 U/ml) than C3H/HeJ macrophages (2,399 U/ml). This suggests that although C3H/HeJ macrophages can respond functionally in a "normal" manner given the correct signals, they remain quantitatively deficient in the production of certain proteins. In this system, the elaboration of TNF and macrophage-mediated tumor cell lysis were shown to be dissociable events. The tumor target used in these studies (P815) was shown to be resistant to as much as 40,000 U/ml of purified rTNF. In addition, C3H/OuJ macrophage cultures exposed to LPS only (which resulted in the production of high levels of TNF), failed to lyse these targets. Lastly, anti-mouse TNF antibody added to macrophage cultures had no effect on the induction of tumor cell lysis. 相似文献

The binding of BCG-activated macrophages to tumor targets stimulates secretion of cytolytic factor 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The binding of neoplastic targets and the secretion of a potent cytolytic protease (CF) by BCG-activated macrophages have previously been shown to be independent functions, both of which are necessary for completion of macrophage-mediated cytolysis. The present studies demonstrate that secretion of CF is triggered by the binding of neoplastic targets to BCG-activated macrophages. The binding of tumor targets, but not of normal lymphocytes, resulted in enhanced secretion of CF from BCG-activated macrophages, although not from macrophages elicited by thioglycolate broth. Dead or metabolically inactive tumor targets, as well as membrane preparations of tumor targets, induced secretion of CF from BCG-activated macrophages. The blocking of macrophage-target binding with a porous filter prevented augmented secretion of CF. Appreciable secretion of CF occurred in as little as 30 min after addition of tumor targets to BCG macrophages. Binding did not induce a generalized increase in secretion of neutral proteases by BCG macrophages, since secretion of plasminogen activator was actually decreased after the binding of P815 targets. The data suggest the selective binding of BCG-activated murine macrophages to neoplastic targets triggers the secretion of a potent CF. 相似文献

Macrophage activation for tumor cell killing is a multistep pathway in which responsive macrophages interact sequentially with priming and triggering stimuli in the acquisition of full tumoricidal activity. Although this synergistic response of normal macrophages to sequential incubation with activation signals has been well established, characterization of the intermediate stages in this pathway has been difficult, due in large measure to the instability of the intermediate cell phenotypes. We have developed a model system for examination of macrophage-mediated tumor cell lysis, with the use of the murine macrophage tumor cell line RAW 264.7. These cells, like normal macrophages, exhibit a strict requirement for interaction with both interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma, the priming signal) and bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS, the triggering signal) in the development of tumor cytolytic activity. In this system, the priming effects of IFN-gamma decay rapidly after withdrawal of this mediator and the cells become unresponsive to LPS triggering. We have recently observed that gamma-irradiation of the RAW 264.7 cells also results in development of a primed activation state for tumor cell killing. The effects of gamma-radiation on the RAW 264.7 cell line are strikingly similar to those resulting from incubation with IFN-gamma, with the exception that the irradiation-induced primed cell intermediate is stable and responsive to LPS triggering for at least 24 hr. Treatment with gamma-radiation also results in increased cell surface expression of major histocompatibility complex-encoded class I antigens; however, class II antigen expression is not induced. Irradiation-induced development of the primed phenotype is not solely the result of cytostatic effects as treatment of the cells with a radiomimetic drug, mitomycin C, results in decreases in [3H]thymidine incorporation that are similar to those observed after irradiation, without concomitant development of cytolytic potential. In addition, priming by gamma-radiation does not appear to be mediated by the release of soluble autoregulatory factors. This alternate pathway for induction of the primed macrophage activation state should serve as a useful tool for identification of molecules important to the functional potential of primed cells, and for elucidation of the biochemical mechanisms of the priming event in tumoricidal activation. 相似文献

Inflammatory mouse peritoneal macrophages were activated by IFN-gamma in synergy with IL-2 or Lipid A to mediate TNF production for autocrine generation of cytotoxic nitric oxide (NO) to kill P815 or L1210 tumor targets. It was determined that for IL-2, but not Lipid A, to effectively trigger activation of IFN-gamma-primed macrophages, the tumor targets must be also present for interaction with effector macrophages to mediate the production of TNF and NO. IFN-gamma- and IL-2-activated macrophages from syngeneic DBA/2 and allogeneic C3H mice had identical MHC-unrestricted requirements for interaction with DBA/2 mouse-derived P815 and L1210 targets to mediate production of TNF and NO for tumor cytotoxicity. To further define the mechanistic requirements for macrophage-tumor target interaction, IFN-gamma- and IL-2-activated macrophages were separated from P815 targets in culture by a semipermeable membrane. Under these conditions, both TNF and NO were produced by the macrophage, which indicated that the requirement for tumor target-macrophage interaction may be due to a soluble factor produced by the target rather than to direct physical contact. This was confirmed by experiments in which 24-h cell-free culture fluids, derived from either P815 or L1210 tumor targets, substituted for the intact tumor cells in the stimulation of TNF mRNA synthesis and secretion with NO generation of TNF mRNA synthesis and secretion with NO generation by IFN-gamma- and IL-2-activated C3H or DBA/2 macrophages. The activity in 24-h culture fluids derived from P815 and L1210 tumor targets was tentatively designated as tumor-derived recognition factor(s) (TDRF) since it was produced constitutively by the tumor targets and synergized with IFN-gamma and IL-2 to induce macrophage production of TNF and NO for death of the same targets. A variety of nontransformed human and mouse fibroblasts, mouse spleen lymphocytes, and two adherent mouse fibrosarcomas did not produce detectable TDRF activity, whereas two mouse T lymphomas, EL4 and EL4.IL-2, produced TDRF activity similar to L1210 mouse leukemia and P815 mastocytoma. The C3H/MCA, a TDRF-nonproducing mouse fibrosarcoma, was susceptible to cytotoxicity mediated by macrophages activated by IFN-gamma and Lipid A, but not by IL-2 triggering. Exogenous TDRF derived from L1210 targets reconstituted the cytotoxic activity for C3H/MCA MCA targets mediated by IFN-gamma- and IL-2-activated macrophages accompanied by the production of TNF and cytotoxic NO.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

CD40 ligation activates murine macrophages via an IFN-gamma-dependent mechanism resulting in tumor cell destruction in vitro 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

We have shown previously that agonistic anti-CD40 mAb induced T cell-independent antitumor effects in vivo. In this study, we investigated mechanisms of macrophage activation with anti-CD40 mAb treatment, assessed by the antitumor action of macrophages in vitro. Intraperitoneal injection of anti-CD40 mAb into C57BL/6 mice resulted in activation of peritoneal macrophages capable of suppressing B16 melanoma cell proliferation in vitro, an effect that was greatly enhanced by LPS and observed against several murine and human tumor cell lines. Anti-CD40 mAb also primed macrophages in vitro to mediate cytostatic effects in the presence of LPS. The tumoristatic effect of CD40 ligation-activated macrophages was associated with apoptosis and killing of tumor cells. Activation of macrophages by anti-CD40 mAb required endogenous IFN-gamma because priming of macrophages by anti-CD40 mAb was abrogated in the presence of anti-IFN-gamma mAb, as well as in IFN-gamma-knockout mice. Macrophages obtained either from C57BL/6 mice depleted of T and NK cells by Ab treatment, or from scid/beige mice, were still activated by anti-CD40 mAb to mediate cytostatic activity. These results argued against the role of NK and T cells as the sole source of exogenous IFN-gamma for macrophage activation and suggested that anti-CD40 mAb-activated macrophages could produce IFN-gamma. We confirmed this hypothesis by detecting intracytoplasmic IFN-gamma in macrophages activated with anti-CD40 mAb in vivo or in vitro. IFN-gamma production by macrophages was dependent on IL-12. Taken together, the results show that murine macrophages are activated directly by anti-CD40 mAb to secrete IFN-gamma and mediate tumor cell destruction. 相似文献

A single injection of viable Salmonella typhimurium SL3235, an avirulent organism blocked in the aromatic pathway, induced the generation of activated peritoneal macrophages in three different C3H mouse strains, including macrophage-defective C3H/HeJ mice. Macrophages obtained from immunized mice were cytotoxic for B16 melanoma cells, P815 mastocytoma cells, and TU-5 fibrosarcoma cells and microbicidal in vitro for the obligate, intracellular, protozoan parasite Leishmania major. The capacity of live SL3235 to activate C3H/HeJ macrophages contrasts with the failure of live Bacillus Calmette-Guérin to induce activated macrophages in this mouse strain. Although viable SL3235 were capable of fully activating cells of both normal and defective mice, a dose-dependent difference was observed in the number of organisms necessary for induction of tumoricidal macrophages in C3HeB/FeJ (normal) and C3H/HeJ (defective) animals. As few as 80 viable SL3235 were capable of activating C3HeB/FeJ macrophages whereas 5 X 10(4) organisms were required to activate C3H/HeJ macrophages. Maximal macrophage activation occurred 7 to 10 days after SL3235 inoculation in C3H/HeJ and C3HeB/FeJ mice. Acetone-killed cells of SL3235 had some but not all of the activity of the living Salmonella. A single in vivo injection of the nonviable preparation resulted in the induction of tumoricidal macrophages in C3HeB/FeJ but not in C3H/HeJ mice, even when tested over a wide dosage range. Injection of acetone-killed cells of SL3235 did, however, result in a population of primed macrophages in C3H/HeJ mice, as explanted cells could be induced to express activated macrophage effector activities after additional treatment in vitro with either LPS or IFN-gamma. Thus, in vivo administration of viable SL3235 is, by itself, capable of eliciting the full series of steps required for activation of C3H/HeJ macrophages, whereas killed SL3235 only provides signals sufficient to prime these defective macrophages for further activation in vitro.

1. We compared the ability of growth hormone (GH) and a well-characterized macrophage-activating factor, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) to activate highly purified populations of alveolar macrophages. Both GH and IFN-gamma primed macrophages triggered with opsonized zymosan to secrete superoxide anion (O2-) in vitro, but IFN-gamma was effective at a 40-fold lower concentration. Antibody blocking studies demonstrated that the priming activity of GH was independent of IFN-gamma, and the activity of IFN-gamma was distinct from that of GH. 2. Both IFN-gamma and GH increased the capability of macrophages to kill Pasteurella multocida in vitro. 3. Hypophysectomized rats challenged with Salmonella typhimurium were significantly protected by injections of either GH or recombinant rat IFN-gamma in vivo compared to vehicle-treated controls, and the protective effect of GH was increased by incorporation into liposomes. 4. Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) also primed alveolar macrophages in vitro, which is consistent with the idea that the protective effects of GH in vivo might be mediated by augmenting the synthesis of IGF-I. These data support the concept of reciprocal systems of communication between the neuroendocrine and immune systems. 相似文献

Endotoxin-induced interferon-gamma production in culture cells derived from BCG-infected C3H/HeJ mice 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The cultured cells prepared from the spleens and peritoneal exudate cells of the C3H/HeJ strain of mice produce very little or no interferon (IFN) by stimulation of bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS). However, the cells taken from LPS-non-responder C3H/HeJ mice which had been infected with Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) prior to the experiment were capable of producing IFN in culture in the presence of LPS. The peritoneal exudate cells of BCG-primed C3H/HeJ mice were separated into adherent cell and nonadherent cell populations by their adhesiveness to plastic culture dishes. IFN production required the presence of both these cell populations in the same culture, and the IFN activities produced were mainly IFN-gamma. The cultures with nonadherent cells and fixed adherent cells still produced IFN, but the cell cultures reconstituted with the BCG-primed cell population and unprimed cell population produce little if any IFN-gamma. Moreover, when both of the populations were cultured in Marbrook culture vessels separated by a membrane filter, the cultures produced very little or no IFN-gamma. These results indicate that there is a mechanism of IFN-gamma induction by LPS which requires the direct contact between adherent cells and nonadherent cells without the participation of any soluble factor(s) from the adherent cells. The producer cells were mainly in the nonadherent cell population. Previous treatment of nonadherent cells with anti-Thy-1.2 antibody, anti-Lyt-1.1 antibody, anti-L3T4 antibody, or anti-asialo-GM1 antibody and complement diminished the ability of the cells for LPS-induced IFN production with the help of adherent cells. Therefore, it is concluded that both T cells (presumably L3T4+T cells) and asialo-GM1+ natural killer cells in the BCG-primed C3H/HeJ cell cultures produced IFN-gamma in the presence of LPS, and the production was supported by the function of macrophages. 相似文献

The lymphokine-activated killer (LAK)-like activity was found to be induced in mouse splenocytes cultured together with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG). The killer cells induced by BCG were capable of killing both NK-sensitive (YAC-1, P388D1) and NK-resistant (P815) tumor cells. As an important finding, they also lysed syngeneic macrophages (M phi). The anti-M phi killer activity appeared on day 2, and reached a peak on day 5 of culture. Phenotype analysis of the killer cells by depletion techniques using monoclonal antibody (mAb) and complement indicated that the majority of these anti-M phi killer cells were Thy-1+ and asialo GM1+. This M phi cytolysis could be inhibited by the addition of cold M phi, YAC-1 tumor cells, and P815 tumor cells, suggesting that the same population of the effector cells recognize M phi and tumor cells. The addition of anti-MHC class I, anti-MHC class II, anti-L3T4, or anti-Ly-2 mAb directly to assay cultures did not affect anti-M phi cytolysis, suggesting that the MHC molecules are not involved in the cytolysis of M phi by the BCG-induced killer cells. The addition of anti-LFA-1 mAb partially inhibited the cytotoxicity, suggesting importance of the contact between targets and effectors in the cytolysis. Our present data suggest that activation of murine lymphocytes with BCG induces LAK-like cells capable of killing a wide variety of tumor cells as well as M phi and this anti-M phi cytolysis is mediated by nonspecific killer cells. 相似文献

Summary A new haptenic compound, a muramyl dipeptide (MDP) derivative (designated as L4-MDP-ONB) cross-reactive with Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) was synthesized. The cross-reactivity of L4-MDP hapten to BCG was demonstrated from the following evidence; (a) lymph node cells from BCG-primed C3H/HeN mice exhibited appreciable L4-MDP-specific proliferative responses to the in vitro stimulation of L4-MDP-modified syngeneic cells (L4-MDP-self); (b) inoculation of L4-MDP-self into footpads of BCG-primed C3H/HeN mice elicited ample delayed type-hypersensitivity (DTH) responses in vivo as measured by footpad swelling; and (c) BCG-primed mice contained L4-MDP-reactive helper T cell activity which functions to augment the generation of effector T cell responses to cell surface antigens. This crossreactivity between L4-MDP hapten and BCG as measured by the helper T cell activity was applied to enhanced induction of tumor-specific immunity. When BCG-primed C3H/HeN mice were immunized with L4-MDP-modified syngeneic X5563 tumor cells, these mice could generate augmented tumor-specific in vivo protective (tumor neutralizing) immunity as well as in vitro cytotoxic T cell responses. These results indicate the effectiveness of L4-MDP hapten in augmenting tumor-specific immunity. The present approach is discussed in the context of potential advantages of this new hapten for its future application to clinical tumor systems. 相似文献

We have investigated the relative immunostimulatory activities of S-chemotype LPS and R-chemotype LPS preparations on C3H/HeJ peritoneal macrophages in vitro. As assessed by either secretion of TNF-alpha or IL-1, some of the R-chemotype LPS manifest significant activity on these normally LPS-unresponsive cells. The expression of IL-1 activity by R-LPS-stimulated C3H/HeJ macrophages was unaffected by IFN-gamma; however, this cytokine significantly enhanced TNF-alpha production by the same cells. The R-chemotype LPS preparations alone were not able to activate C3H/HeJ macrophages to become tumoricidal but activity could readily be demonstrated in the presence of IFN-gamma. Of potential importance is the observation that the profile of relative activity of the various R-chemotype LPS preparations for macrophage activation does not parallel that previously obtained by us for the C3H/HeJ B-lymphocyte activation. 相似文献

The sensitivity of low-malignant spontaneously in vitro transformed hamster embryo cells (STHE strain) to cytolysis of both resident and activated macrophages has been examined with cytolytic 3H-thymidine release assay. Activated macrophages were obtained from Syrian hamster peritoneal exudate cells 5 days following priming with 3% thioglycollate-broth and subsequent in vitro activation with proper-myl, levan, LPS, MDP, 1,4-dihydropyridine-derivate PP-256 and PMA. It has been shown that the STHE strain cells were sensitive to cytolysis by only fully activated macrophages. Both resident and non-activated (Thioglycollate-elicited) macrophages have not developed significant levels of the cytolytic activity against STHE cell targets. Short-term treatment of STHE cells with actinomycin D result in augmentation of their sensitivity to cytolysis by resident and activated macrophages. 相似文献

Factors obtained from phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)-stimulated EL-4 thymoma cells, a continuous T cell line, suppressed lymphokine-induced macrophage activation to kill intracellular Leishmania tropica amastigotes. Suppression of this macrophage effector activity was dependent upon concentration of EL-4 fluids admixed with lymphokines in infected macrophage cultures, and was not due to residual PMA or factors released from unstimulated EL-4 cells. Fluids from PMA-stimulated EL-4 cells did not affect the expression of microbicidal activity by macrophages activated in vivo as a consequence of infections with Mycobacterium bovis strain BCG, nor did they abrogate intracellular killing activities by C3H/HeJ macrophages primed by BCG infection and triggered by lymphokines in vitro. That the action of this EL-4 suppressor activity was at the priming stage of macrophage activation was confirmed by kinetic studies: EL-4 fluids added to lymphokine-treated cells in the first 4 hr of treatment completely suppressed intracellular killing of L. tropica; fluids added after 4 hr were not effective. The effects of these EL-4 factors appeared to be selective: of three effector activities of activated macrophages tested, induction of resistance to infection, tumor cytotoxicity, and intracellular destruction of L. tropica, only intracellular killing by lymphokine-treated macrophages was significantly suppressed. These T cell-derived soluble suppressor factor(s) may provide insight into mechanisms of immunosuppression during leishmanial disease and perhaps other intracellular parasitic infections. 相似文献
