Percentages of activated T cells correlate with HIV-1 disease progression, but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. We hypothesized that HLA-DR(+) CD38(+) (DR(+) 38(+)) CD4(+) T cells produce the majority of HIV-1 due to elevated expression of CCR5 and CXCR4. In phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated CD8-depleted peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) infected with HIV-1 green fluorescent protein (GFP) reporter viruses, DR(-) 38(+) T cells constituted the majority of CCR5 (R5)-tropic (median, 62%) and CXCR4 (X4)-tropic HIV-1-producing cells (median, 61%), although cell surface CCR5 and CXCR4 were not elevated in this subset of cells. In lymph nodes from untreated individuals infected with R5-tropic HIV-1, percentages of CCR5(+) cells were elevated in DR(+) 38(+) CD4(+) T cells (median, 36.4%) compared to other CD4(+) T-cell subsets (median values of 5.7% for DR(-) 38(-) cells, 19.4% for DR(+) 38(-) cells, and 7.6% for DR(-) 38(+) cells; n = 18; P < 0.001). In sorted CD8(-) lymph node T cells, median HIV-1 RNA copies/10(5) cells was higher for DR(+) 38(+) cells (1.8 × 10(6)) than for DR(-) 38(-) (0.007 × 10(6)), DR(-) 38(+) (0.064 × 10(6)), and DR(+) 38(-) (0.18 × 10(6)) subsets (n = 8; P < 0.001 for all). After adjusting for percentages of subsets, a median of 87% of viral RNA was harbored by DR(+) 38(+) cells. Percentages of CCR5(+) CD4(+) T cells and concentrations of CCR5 molecules among subsets predicted HIV-1 RNA levels among CD8(-) DR/38 subsets (P < 0.001 for both). Median HIV-1 DNA copies/10(5) cells was higher in DR(+) 38(+) cells (5,360) than in the DR(-) 38(-) (906), DR(-) 38(+) (814), and DR(+) 38(-) (1,984) subsets (n = 7; P ≤ 0.031). Thus, DR(+) 38(+) CD4(+) T cells in lymph nodes have elevated CCR5 expression, are highly susceptible to infection with R5-tropic virus, and produce the majority of R5-tropic HIV-1. PBMC assays failed to recapitulate in vivo findings, suggesting limited utility. Strategies to reduce numbers of DR(+) 38(+) CD4(+) T cells may substantially inhibit HIV-1 replication. 相似文献

We have previously shown that Tc1 CD8(+) T cells have in vitro and in vivo effector activity against Pneumocystis (PC) infection in mice. Because these cells have preferential expression of CXCR3, we investigated whether CXCR3 was required for host defense activity against PC. Mice deficient in CXCR3 but CD4(+) T cell intact, showed an initial delay but were able to clear the infectious challenge, indicating that CXCR3 signaling is not essential for clearance of PC. CD4-depleted mice had lower levels of monokine induced by IFN-gamma, IFN protein-10 (IP-10), and IFN-inducible T cell alpha-chemoattractant at day 7 of infection and are permissive to PC infection. Overexpression of IP-10 in the lungs by adenoviral gene transfer did not accelerate clearance of infection in control mice but accelerated clearance by day 28 in mice depleted of CD4(+) T cells. This effect was associated with increased recruitment of CD8(+) T to the lungs with higher CXCR3(+) expression levels and enhanced IFN-gamma secretion upon in vitro activation compared with control mice. These results indicate that the CXCR3 chemokines are part of the host defense response to PC, and that IP-10 can direct Tc1 CD8(+) T cell recruitment to the lungs and contribute to host defense against PC even in the absence of CD4(+) T cells. 相似文献

Stromal cell-derived factor-1-CXC chemokine receptor 4 interactions play a central role in CD4+ T cell accumulation in rheumatoid arthritis synovium 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20
Nanki T Hayashida K El-Gabalawy HS Suson S Shi K Girschick HJ Yavuz S Lipsky PE 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2000,165(11):6590-6598
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by the accumulation of CD4(+) memory T cells in the inflamed synovium. To address the mechanism, we analyzed chemokine receptor expression and found that the frequency of CXC chemokine receptor (CXCR)4 expressing synovial tissue CD4(+) memory T cells was significantly elevated. CXCR4 expression could be enhanced by IL-15, whereas stromal cell-derived factor (SDF)-1, the ligand of CXCR4, was expressed in the RA synovium and could be increased by CD40 stimulation. SDF-1 stimulated migration of rheumatoid synovial T cells and also inhibited activation-induced apoptosis of T cells. These results indicate that SDF-1-CXCR4 interactions play important roles in CD4(+) memory T cell accumulation in the RA synovium, and emphasize the role of stromal cells in regulating rheumatoid inflammation. 相似文献

Both constitutive Ig secretion by long-lived plasma cells (PC) and the recurrent differentiation of memory (mem) B cells into PC contribute to the maintenance of serologic mem. However, the relative contribution of each is unknown. In this study, we describe a novel population of human postswitched mem B cells that rapidly differentiate into PC and thus contribute to serologic mem. These IgG(+) B cells reside in the region of human spleen analogous to the murine marginal zone and have not previously been examined. These cells are highly responsive to IL-21 in the context of CD40 stimulation. Uniquely, IgG(+) marginal zone analog B cells are exquisitely sensitive to the combination of IL-21 and B cell-activating factor belonging to the TNF family (BAFF/BLyS) that synergize in the absence of further costimulation to induce up-regulation of B lymphocyte-induced maturation protein-1 and drive PC differentiation. Other cytokine combinations are not active in this regard. This is the first demonstration that this unique population of mem B cells can respond specifically and exclusively to IL-21 and BAFF/BLyS by differentiating into IgG-secreting PC, and thus contributing to serologic mem in an Ag-independent manner. 相似文献

The functions of a chemokine CXC chemokine ligand (CXCL) 12/stromal cell-derived factor-1/pre-B cell growth stimulating factor and its physiologic receptor CXCR4 in T cell development are controversial. In this study, we have genetically further characterized their roles in fetal and adult T cell development using mutant and chimeric mice. In CXCL12(-/-) or CXCR4(-/-) embryos on a C57BL/6 background, accumulation of T cell progenitors in the outer mesenchymal layer of the thymus anlage during initial colonization of the fetal thymus was comparable with that seen in wild-type embryos. However, the expansion of CD3(-)CD4(-)CD8(-) triple-negative T cell precursors at the CD44(-)CD25(+) and CD44(-)CD25(-) stages, and CD4(+)CD8(+) double-positive thymocytes was affected during embryogenesis in these mutants. In radiation chimeras competitively repopulated with CXCR4(-/-) fetal liver cells, the reduction in donor-derived thymocytes compared with wild-type chimeras was much more severe than the reduction in donor-derived myeloid lineage cells in bone marrow. Triple negative CD44(+)CD25(+) T cell precursors exhibited survival response to CXCL12 in the presence of stem cell factor as well as migratory response to CXCL12. Thus, it may be that CXCL12 and CXCR4 are involved in the expansion of T cell precursors in both fetal and adult thymus in vivo. Finally, enforced expression of bcl-2 did not rescue impaired T cell development in CXCR4(-/-) embryos or impaired reconstitution of CXCR4(-/-) thymocytes in competitively repopulated mice, suggesting that defects in T cell development caused by CXCR4 mutation are not caused by reduced expression of bcl-2. 相似文献

Effects of sustained HIV-1 plasma viremia on HIV-1 Gag-specific CD4+ T cell maturation and function 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
An in vitro proliferative defect has been observed in HIV-1-specific CD4(+) T cells from infected subjects with high-level plasma HIV-1 viremia. To determine the mechanism of this defect, HIV-1 Gag-specific CD4(+) T cells from treated and untreated HIV-1-infected subjects were analyzed for cytokine profile, proliferative capacity, and maturation state. Unexpectedly high frequencies of HIV-1-specific, IL-2-producing CD4(+) T cells were measured in subjects with low or undetectable plasma HIV-1 loads, regardless of treatment status, and IL-2 frequencies correlated inversely with viral loads. IL-2-producing CD4(+) T cells also primarily displayed a central memory (T(Cm); CCR7(+)CD45RA(-)) maturation phenotype, whereas IFN-gamma-producing cells were mostly effector memory (T(Em), CCR7(-)CD45RA(-)). Among Gag-specific, IFN-gamma-producing CD4(+) T cells, higher T(Em) frequencies and lower T(Cm) frequencies were observed in untreated, high viral load subjects than in subjects with low viral loads. The percentage of HIV-1 Gag-specific CD4(+) T(Cm) correlated inversely with HIV-1 viral load and directly with Gag-specific CD4(+) T cell proliferation, whereas the opposite relationships were observed for HIV-1-specific CD4(+) T(Em). These results suggest that HIV-1 viremia skews Gag-specific CD4(+) T cells away from an IL-2-producing T(Cm) phenotype and toward a poorly proliferating T(Em) phenotype, which may limit the effectiveness of the HIV-1-specific immune response. 相似文献

Cell surface receptors exploited by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) for infection are major determinants of tropism. HIV-1 usually requires two receptors to infect cells. Gp120 on HIV-1 virions binds CD4 on the cell surface, triggering conformational rearrangements that create or expose a binding site for a seven-transmembrane (7TM) coreceptor. Although HIV-2 and SIV strains also use CD4, several laboratory-adapted HIV-2 strains infect cells without CD4, via an interaction with the coreceptor CXCR4. Moreover, the envelope glycoproteins of SIV of macaques (SIV(MAC)) can bind to and initiate infection of CD4(-) cells via CCR5. Here, we show that most primary HIV-2 isolates can infect either CCR5(+) or CXCR4(+) cells without CD4. The efficiency of CD4-independent infection by HIV-2 was comparable to that of SIV, but markedly higher than that of HIV-1. CD4-independent HIV-2 strains that could use both CCR5 and CXCR4 to infect CD4(+) cells were only able to use one of these receptors in the absence of CD4. Our observations therefore indicate (i) that HIV-2 and SIV envelope glycoproteins form a distinct conformation that enables contact with a 7TM receptor without CD4, and (ii) the use of CD4 enables a wider range of 7TM receptors to be exploited for infection and may assist adaptation or switching to new coreceptors in vivo. Primary CD4(-) fetal astrocyte cultures expressed CXCR4 and supported replication by the T-cell-line-adapted ROD/B strain. Productive infection by primary X4 strains was only triggered upon treatment of virus with soluble CD4. Thus, many primary HIV-2 strains infect CCR5(+) or CXCR4(+) cell lines without CD4 in vitro. CD4(-) cells that express these coreceptors in vivo, however, may still resist HIV-2 entry due to insufficient coreceptor concentration on the cell surface to trigger fusion or their expression in a conformation nonfunctional as a coreceptor. Our study, however, emphasizes that primary HIV-2 strains carry the potential to infect CD4(-) cells expressing CCR5 or CXCR4 in vivo. 相似文献

High expression of CXCR5 is one of the defining hallmarks of T follicular helper cells (T(FH)), a CD4 Th cell subset that promotes germinal center reactions and the selection and affinity maturation of B cells. CXCR5 is also expressed on 20-25% of peripheral blood human central memory CD4 T cells (T(CM)), although the definitive function of these cells is not fully understood. The constitutive expression of CXCR5 on T(FH) cells and a fraction of circulating T(CM) suggests that CXCR5(+) T(CM) may represent a specialized subset of memory-type T(FH) cells programmed for homing to follicles and providing B cell help. To verify this assumption, we analyzed this cell population and show its specialized function in supporting humoral immune responses. Compared with their CXCR5(-) T(CM) counterparts, CXCR5(+) T(CM) expressed high levels of the chemokine CXCL13 and efficiently induced plasma cell differentiation and Ig secretion. We found that the distinct B cell helper qualities of CXCR5(+) T(CM) were mainly due to high ICOS expression and pronounced responsiveness to ICOS ligand costimulation together with large IL-10 secretion. Furthermore, B cell helper attributes of CXCR5(+) T(CM) were almost exclusively acquired on cognate interaction with B cells, but not with dendritic cells. This implies that a preferential recruitment of circulating CXCR5(+) T(CM) to CXCL13-rich B cell follicles is required for the promotion of a quick and efficient protective secondary humoral immune response. Taken together, we propose that CXCR5(+) T(CM) represent a distinct memory cell subset specialized in supporting Ab-mediated immune responses. 相似文献

Apoptosis of uninfected bystander T cells contributes to T-cell depletion during human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. HIV-1 envelope/receptor interactions and immune activation have been implicated as contributors to bystander apoptosis. To better understand the relationship between T-cell activation and bystander apoptosis during HIV-1 pathogenesis, we investigated the effects of the highly cytopathic CXCR4-tropic HIV-1 variant ELI6 on primary CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells. Infection of primary T-cell cultures with ELI6 induced CD4(+) T-cell depletion by direct cell lysis and bystander apoptosis. Exposure of primary CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells to nonreplicating ELI6 virions induced bystander apoptosis through a Fas-independent mechanism. Bystander apoptosis of CD4(+) T cells required direct contact with virions and Env/CXCR4 binding. In contrast, the apoptosis of CD8(+) T cells was triggered by a soluble factor(s) secreted by CD4(+) T cells. HIV-1 virions activated CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells to express CD25 and HLA-DR and preferentially induced apoptosis in CD25(+)HLA-DR(+) T cells in a CXCR4-dependent manner. Maximal levels of binding, activation, and apoptosis were induced by virions that incorporated MHC class II and B7-2 into the viral membrane. These results suggest that nonreplicating HIV-1 virions contribute to chronic immune activation and T-cell depletion during HIV-1 pathogenesis by activating CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, which then proceed to die via apoptosis. This mechanism may represent a viral immune evasion strategy to increase viral replication by activating target cells while killing immune effector cells that are not productively infected. 相似文献

Activation-induced cell death is a natural process that prevents tissue damages from over-activated immune cells. TNF-Related apoptosis ligand (TRAIL), a TNF family member, induces apoptosis of infected and tumor cells by binding to one of its two death receptors, DR4 or DR5. TRAIL was reported to be secreted by phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated CD4(+) T cells in microvesicles.We investigate here TRAIL and DR5 regulation by activated primary CD4(+) T cells and its consequence on cell death. We observed that PHA induced CD4(+) T cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, we investigated molecules involved in PHA-mediated cell death and demonstrated that TRAIL and DR5 were over-expressed on the plasma membrane of PHA-stimulated CD4(+) T cells. Surprisingly, DR5 was constitutively expressed in naive CD4(+) T cells at messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels. Thus, using 3 dimensional microscopy and intracellular staining assays, we show that DR5 is constitutively expressed in CD4(+) T cells and is pre-stocked in the cytoplasm. When cells are stimulated by PHA, DR5 is relocalized from cytoplasm to plasma membrane. Small interference RNA (siRNA) and blocking antibody assays demonstrate that TRAIL/DR5 interaction is mainly responsible for PHA-mediated CD4(+) T cell apoptosis. Thus, membrane DR5 expression leading to TRAIL-mediated apoptosis may represent one of the pathways responsible for eradication of over-activated CD4(+) T cells during immune responses. 相似文献

Although the pathogenesis of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), a model of rheumatoid arthritis, is mediated by both collagen-specific CD4(+) T cells and Ab specific for type II collagen (CII), the role of CII-specific T cells in the pathogenesis of CIA remains unclear. Using tetrameric HLA-DR1 with a covalently bound immunodominant CII peptide, CII(259-273), we studied the development of the CII-specific T cell response in the periphery and arthritic joints of DR1 transgenic mice. Although the maximum number of DR1-CII-tetramer(+) cells was detected in draining lymph nodes 10 days postimmunization, these T cells accounted for only 1% or less of the CD4(+) population. After day 10, their numbers gradually decreased, but were still detectable on day 130. Examination of TCR expression and changes in CD62L, CD44(high), and CD69 expression by these T cells indicated that they expressed a limited TCR-BV repertoire and had clearly undergone activation. RT-PCR analysis of cytokine expression by the tetramer(+) T cells compared with tetramer(-) cells indicated the tetramer(+) cells expressed high levels of Th1 and proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-2, IFN-gamma, IL-6, TNF-alpha, and especially IL-17. Additionally, analysis of the synovium from arthritic paws indicated that the same CD4(+)/BV8(+)/BV14(+)/tetramer(+) T cells were present in the arthritic joints. These data demonstrate that although only small numbers of CII-specific T cells are generated during the development of CIA, these cells express very high levels of cytokine mRNA and appear to preferentially migrate to the arthritic joint, indicating a potential direct role of CII-specific T cells in the pathogenesis of CIA. 相似文献

IL-10, IL-13, IFN-gamma, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha, LT-alpha, CD154, and TNF-related activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE) were expressed by 2-20% of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial tissue CD4(+) memory T cells, whereas CD4(+) cells that produced IL-2, IL-4, or IL-6 were not detected. Expression of none of these molecules by individual CD4(+) cells correlated with the exception of TRANCE and IL-10, and TRANCE and TNF-alpha. A correlation between expression of IL-10 and CCR7, LT-alpha and CCR6, IFN-gamma and CCR5, and TRANCE and CXCR4 was also detected. 相似文献

The chemokine receptor CXCR3 is preferentially expressed by Th1 cells and critically involved in their recruitment to inflamed tissue. In a mouse model of immune-mediated liver injury inducible by Con A, we investigated the role of CXCR3 in acute IFN-γ-mediated hepatitis as well as in tolerance induction, which has been shown to depend on IL-10-producing CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs). Induction of Con A hepatitis resulted in increased intrahepatic expression of the CXCR3 ligands CXCL9, CXCL10, and CXCL11. CXCR3(-/-) mice developed a more severe liver injury with higher plasma transaminase activities and a more pronounced Th1/Th17 response compared with wild-type (wt) animals upon Con A injection. Moreover, CXCR3(-/-) mice did not establish tolerance upon Con A restimulation, although Tregs from CXCR3(-/-) mice were still suppressive in an in vitro suppression assay. Instead, Tregs failed to accumulate in livers of CXCR3(-/-) mice upon Con A restimulation in contrast to those from wt animals. Con A-tolerant wt mice harbored significantly increased numbers of intrahepatic CXCR3(+)T-bet(+) Tregs that produced IL-10 compared with nontolerant animals. IFN-γ deficiency or anti-IFN-γ Ab treatment demonstrated that conversion to CXCR3(+)T-bet(+) Tregs depended on a Th1 response. Accordingly, in an immunotherapeutic approach, CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) Tregs from Con A-pretreated CXCR3-deficient mice failed to protect against Con A-induced hepatitis, whereas Tregs from Con A-tolerant wt mice allowed CXCR3-deficient mice to recover from Con A hepatitis. In summary, CXCR3(+)T-bet(+)IL-10(+) Tregs are generated in the liver in dependence of IFN-γ, then disseminated into the organism and specifically migrate into the liver, where they limit immune-mediated liver damage. 相似文献

Homing and adhesion patterns determine the cellular composition of the bone marrow plasma cell niche
Belnoue E Tougne C Rochat AF Lambert PH Pinschewer DD Siegrist CA 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2012,188(3):1283-1291
According to commonly held concepts, plasma cell (PC) longevity in bone marrow (BM) depends upon their access to survival niches. These are thought to exist in nursery cell types, which support PCs by secreting PC survival factors. To better define PC survival niches and their functioning, we adoptively transferred traceable Blimp-1-(GFP) PCs into recipient mice lacking a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), IL-6, or macrophage migration inhibitory factor. Transferred BMPCs were preferentially associated with Ly-6C(high) monocytes (normalized colocalization index: 9.84), eosinophils (4.29), and megakaryocytes (2.12). Although APRIL was essential for BMPC survival, PC recruitment into the proximity of nursery cells was unimpaired in APRIL-deficient mice, questioning the concept that the same factors account for attraction/retention of PCs as for their local survival. Rather, the order of colocalization with BMPCs (monocytes > eosinophils > megakaryocytes) reflected these cells' relative expression of CXCR4, VLA-4, and LFA-1, the homing and adhesion molecules that direct/retain PCs in the BM. This suggests a scenario wherein the cellular composition of the BMPC niche is defined by a common pattern of attraction/retention on CXCL12-abundant reticular docking cells. Thereby, PCs are directed to associate in a functional BM niche with hematopoietic CXCR4(+)VLA-4(+)LFA-1(+) nursery cells, which provide PC survival factors. 相似文献
