天花粉蛋白通过抗原加工提呈调节T细胞免疫应答

用三种抗原加工阻断剂预处理抗原提呈细胞（ＡＰＨ）１ｈ后再用天花粉蛋白（Ｔｋ）脉冲处理,观察经由ＡＰＣ递呈的Ｔｋ对ＰＭＡ和Ａ２３１８７诱发Ｔ细胞增殖的作用。结果表明,这些药物均能不同程度地阻断Ｔｋ的抑制效应,以氯喹和Ｌｅｕｐｅｐｔｉｎ的作用更为明显。用胶体金标记Ｔｋ（Ｔｋ－Ｇ）,电镜下观察Ｔｋ在Ｔ细胞和ＡＰＣ内的定位,发现Ｔｋ－Ｇ仅与ＡＰＣ发生细胞表面粘附,继而内化,先后出现在ＡＰＣ的内体和溶酶体中     

天花粉收白诱发白血病细胞K562凋亡的研究

Trichosanthin (TCS), an eukaryotic ribosome-inactivating protein isolated from the root tuber of Trichosanthes plant, has various biological activities including abortion induction, antitumor, and anti-HIV. In this study, cultured human leukemia K562 cells treated with trichosanthin were examined. Analysis of the cells by single laser flow cytometry showed the sub-G1 peak. DNA extracted from these cells formed a characteristic "ladder" on agarose gel electrophoresis. Under electromicroscope, typical morphological changes of apoptosis were also observed. From all of these findings, we concluded that trichosanthin was able to induce apoptosis in K562 cells.     

天花粉蛋白对滋养层细胞专一损伤机制的研究

在体外培养条件下,天花粉蛋白胶体金以受体介导的内吞方式进入滋养层细胞和绒癌细胞,最终进入胞质溶胶着在核糖体上,经相同处理的肝癌细胞,绿猴肾细胞和正常鼠胚肝细胞,金颗粒既不与这些细胞表面结合,也没有被专一内吞的现象。分别用ＢＳＡ,转铁蛋白活化的胶体金处理滋养层细胞和绒癌细胞的方式与天花粉蛋白的结果相同,先以肝癌单抗处理也不影响天花粉蛋白的结果相同,先以肝癌单抗处理也不影响天花粉蛋白的肝癌单抗结合物进     

天花粉蛋白通过抗原加工提呈调节T细胞免疫应答

用三种抗原加工阻断剂预处理抗原提呈细胞(APC)1h后再用天花粉蛋白(Tk)脉冲处理,观察经由APC递呈的Tk对PMA和A23187诱发T细胞增殖的作用。结果表明,这些药物均能不同程度地阻断Tk的抑制效应,以氯喹和Leupeptin的作用更为明显。用胶体金标记Tk(Tk-G),电镜下观察Tk在T细胞和APC内的定位,发现Tk-G仅与APC发生细胞表面粘附,继而内化,先后出现在APC的内体和溶酶体中。上述实验提示,在本实验采用的剂量范围内,Tk可通过外源性抗原的加工途径,被APC处理后,调节T细胞的免疫应答。

用＾１Ｈ ＮＭＲ法测定Ｔ１８肽在ＤＭＳＯ（ＭＳ１８）和５０％六氟异丙醇（ＦＰ１８）中的溶液构象。ＭＳ１８含有Ｉｌｅ３￣Ｇｌｕ７和Ａｌａ１２￣Ｇｌｎ１６两段β－折叠链;而ＦＰ１８则转变为α－螺旋结构。综合分析Ｔ１４,Ｔ１８和ＴＤＫ三个模型肽的结构性质和稳定性,比较肽链序列和溶剂作用,提出肽链局部优势结构的概念,并据此讨论天花粉蛋白小结构域折叠起始过程。

天花粉蛋白对滋养层细胞专一损伤机制的研究

在体外培养条件下,天花粉蛋白胶体金以受体介导的内吞方式进入滋养层细胞和绒癌细胞,最终进入胞质溶胶附着在核糖体上。经相同处理的肝癌细胞,绿猴肾细胞和正常鼠胚肝细胞,金颗粒既不与这些细胞表面结合,也没有被专一内吞的现象。分别用BSA,转铁蛋白活化的胶体金处理滋养层细胞和绒癌细胞的比较观察,也证明滋养层细胞和绒癌细胞对天花粉蛋白的专一亲和性。更有趣的是:天花粉蛋白肝癌单抗胶体金结合物进入绒癌细胞的方式与天花粉蛋白的结果相同;先以旰癌单抗处理也不影响天花粉蛋白肝癌单抗结合物进入绒癌细胞。然而,对于旰癌细胞,天花粉蛋白肝癌单抗胶体金颗粒则专一地结合在细胞的微绒毛表面,这种结合因先以肝癌单抗处理而明显地被竞争抑制。这些实验结果相互印证地提供天花粉蛋白对滋养层细胞和绒癌细胞高度专一的亲和性,并证明天花粉蛋白对靶细胞的原初损伤部位是核糖体。进一步探讨天花粉蛋白在靶细胞表面结合位点的化学性质以及这种蛋白在靶细胞内的转运机制将是重要的问题。     

Human immune suppression is inducible by trichosanthin via CD8 cell—mediated pathway

Trichosanthin(Tk),a polypeptide with 249 amino acid residues isolated and purified from a Chinese medicinal herb,showed the capability of inducing abortion and was able to inhibit tumor growth and HIV replication.Owing to sequence homology of the peptide with a ribosomeinactivating protein,the downward activity of Tk was suggested to be related to its cytotoxic property.We report here,however,that Tk could exert potent inhibitory effects on human lymphoproliferative responses in vitro to allogeneic,mitogenic and soluble antigens with 50% inhibition doses ranged between 0.05 and 0.5μg／ml.The lowresponsivenesss caused by Tk was not due to toxic cytolysis.Rather,evidences suggested that,in the dose range adopted,the Tk-induced inhibition was attributable,at least in part,to immune suppression,in view of (1) Tk was more effective in the early stage of alloreactivity;(2)Suppression also occurred if responder cells were pulsetreated with Tk rather than cocultured;(3)Irradiated Tk-pulsed cells were capable of inducing suppression in a Tk-free culture;(4)Suppression could also be transferred by the supernatants of Tk-pulsed cultured cells;(5)Tk-induced immune suppression was diminished by depletion of CD8^ cells from the culture,and,finally;(6)Adding CD8^ cells back to the culture could restore the suppres sion.Thus the possibility that Tk might function as a down-regulator by immunological mechanisms in human immune responses is discussed.     

小鼠的自身反应性T淋巴细胞系及其功能

本文报道了用同基因脾细胞和抗原在体外不断再刺激天花粉蛋白免疫过的C57BL/6J小鼠的T淋巴细胞,能刺激自身反应性的T细胞在体外增殖并长期存活。实验结果表明它们的增殖是依赖于同基因脾细胞的再刺激,C57BL/6J(H一2~b),B 10 ScSn(H-2~b)和129(H-2~b)小鼠的脾细胞都能引起它们明显的增殖,但对C3H/He(H-2~K)和Balb/c(H-2~b)小鼠的脾细胞很弱,说明识别的可能是H-2~b抗原。应用未经免疫的C 57 BL/6 J小鼠的脾和淋巴结T淋巴细胞,采用同样的体外刺激方法,未能引起它们对同基因脾细胞的增殖。从而提示自身反应性T细胞是存在于正常机体内的一种能识别自身抗原的T淋巴细胞。在无外来抗原刺激时,它们可能是处于静止或不激活状态;在外来抗原诱发免疫过程中,它们也随了抗原特异的淋巴细胞一同被激活,并可能起调节作用。它们在免疫系统中的地位还有待进一步阐明。

Regulation of soluble and surface-bound TRAIL in human T cells, B cells, and monocytes

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a member of the TNF/nerve growth factor superfamily that, apart from inducing cell death in susceptible cells, displays immunoregulatory functions influencing, for instance, T cell proliferation. It can be found in two forms: membrane-bound and soluble protein. The regulation of these is still not fully understood. In this study, we have analyzed the regulation of TRAIL surface expression and secretion in human T cells, B cells, and monocytes in response to specific stimuli. T cells, B cells, and monocytes were cultured in the presence of phytohemagglutinin (PHA)+interleukin (IL-2), anti-CD40+IL-4, and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), respectively. In particular, not only PHA+IL-2 but also LPS were able to induce secretion of soluble TRAIL, but did not enhance the expression of surface-bound TRAIL. Simultaneously, we investigated the effect of the pleiotropic stimulus interferon (IFN)-beta, known to target all leukocyte subsets, on TRAIL. Predominantly, monocytes were affected by IFN-beta, causing both release of soluble TRAIL and upregulation of the surface-bound form. IFN-beta, however, did not cause any upregulation of TRAIL in T cells. Our data serve as a basis to better understand the complex regulation of TRAIL in human peripheral immune cells and might help to clarify the role of the TRAIL system in immunopathology.     

Endothelial cell suppression of peripheral blood mononuclear cell trafficking in vitro during acute exposure to feline immunodeficiency virus

Trafficking of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) into the brain is a critical step in the initiation of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated central nervous system disease. To examine potential factors that control trafficking during the earliest stages of infection, PBMC transmigration across a cultured feline brain endothelial cell (BECs) monolayer was measured after selective exposure of various cell types to feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Infection of the PBMCs with FIV increased the trafficking of monocytes and CD4 and CD8 T cells. Additional exposure of the BECs to FIV suppressed mean monocyte, CD4 T cell, and CD8 T cell trafficking. B cell trafficking was unaltered by these changing conditions. Subsequent exposure of astrocytes or microglia to FIV altered transmigration of different PBMC subsets in different ways. Treated microglia compared with treated astrocytes decreased monocyte transmigration, whereas B cell transmigration was increased significantly. When both astrocytes and microglia were exposed to FIV, an increase in CD8 T cell transmigration relative to BECs alone, to BECs plus astrocytes, or to BECs plus microglia was demonstrated. Thus, initial exposure of PBMCs to FIV is sufficient to induce a general increase in trafficking, whereas initial exposure of endothelial cells to FIV tends to down-regulate this effect. Selectivity of trafficking of specific PBMC subsets is apparent only after exposure of cells of the central nervous system to FIV in co-culture with the endothelium.     

问充质干细胞体外调控骨髓造血前体细胞向单核系分化

研究间充质干细胞(MSC)能否在体外调控造血.体外分离培养人骨髓来源的MSC,RT-PCR检测其造血生长因子的表达,并以其为饲养层细胞,接种骨髓单个核细胞(MNC),观察生长情况,并通过形态学观察和流式细胞术分析,鉴定细胞来源和分化方向.结果显示,MSC构成性表达SCF、Flt3L和M-CSF,不表达G-CSF和GM-CSF,在骨髓MNC和MSC共培养体系中,大约2周左右可以看到大量的圆形细胞粘附在梭型MSC上生长,细胞胞体为圆形,胞浆较丰富,胞核为圆形、半月型或肾型,部分细胞呈典型的单核细胞形态,流式细胞术分析该类细胞表达CD14,不表达CD15、CD41、glycophorin A、CD5和CD19.表明不需要添加外源性造血生长因子,间充质干细胞能在体外调控骨髓造血前体细胞向单核系分化,其定向分化可能与MSC分泌造血生长因子及MSC与造血细胞间相互作用有关.     

天花粉蛋白分子的抗原决定簇研究(英文)

为了研究抗原结构和功能之间的关系,我们用天花粉蛋白作抗原,制备了16株分泌抗天花粉蛋白特异性单克隆抗体的杂交瘤细胞系,其中包括5株IgE杂交瘤细胞系。用这些单克隆抗体同天花粉蛋白进行抗体竞争结合试验,结果表明:16种单抗之间可产生不同程度的竞争,竞争率从0—100%不等。按照竞争的情况,16种单抗可以分成4个不同的组,即TE 1,1B 1,3A 12,4B 5组,分别识别4个可区分开的抗原决定簇区。值得注意的是TE1组包括了所有5种IgE单克隆抗体(以及另外两种IgG 1单克隆抗体),这一结果提示TE1组单克隆抗体识别的抗原决定簇区可能以某种方式介入了小鼠IgE抗体应答的过程。
