T cell clonal anergy induction in lymphopenic nu/nu mice was found to be ineffective. Exposure to a tolerizing peptide Ag regimen instead induced aggressive CD4(+) cell cycle progression and increased Ag responsiveness (priming). Reconstitution of T cell-deficient mice by an adoptive transfer of mature peripheral lymphocytes was accompanied by the development of a CD25(+)Foxp3(+)CTLA-4(+)CD4(+) regulatory T cell population that acted to dampen Ag-driven cell cycle progression and facilitate the induction of clonal anergy in nearby responder CD25(-)CD4(+) T cells. Thus, an early recovery of CD25(+) regulatory T cells following a lymphopenic event can prevent exuberant Ag-stimulated CD4(+) cell cycle progression and promote the development of clonal anergy. 相似文献

Cutting edge: control of CD8+ T cell activation by CD4+CD25+ immunoregulatory cells 总被引:29,自引:0,他引:29
CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells inhibit organ-specific autoimmune diseases induced by CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells and are potent suppressors of CD4(+)CD25(-) T cell activation in vitro. We demonstrate that CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells also suppress both proliferation and IFN-gamma production by CD8(+) T cells induced either by polyclonal or Ag-specific stimuli. CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells inhibit the activation of CD8(+) responders by inhibiting both IL-2 production and up-regulation of IL-2Ralpha-chain (CD25) expression. Suppression is mediated via a T-T interaction as activated CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells suppress the responses of TCR-transgenic CD8(+) T cells stimulated with soluble peptide-MHC class I tetramers in the complete absence of APC. These results broaden the immunoregulatory role played by CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells in the prevention of autoimmune diseases, but also raise the possibility that they may hinder the induction of effector CD8(+) T cells to tumor or foreign Ags. 相似文献

CD4+CD25high regulatory cells in human peripheral blood 总被引:90,自引:0,他引:90

Thymectomy in mice on neonatal day 3 leads to the development of multiorgan autoimmune disease due to loss of a CD(+)CD25(+) T cell regulatory population in their peripheral lymphoid tissues. Here, we report the identification of a CD4(+) population of regulatory T cells in the circulation of humans expressing high levels of CD25 that exhibit in vitro characteristics identical with those of the CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory cells isolated in mice. With TCR cross-linking, CD4(+)CD25(high) cells did not proliferate but instead totally inhibited proliferation and cytokine secretion by activated CD4(+)CD25(-) responder T cells in a contact-dependent manner. The CD4(+)CD25(high) regulatory T cells expressed high levels of CD45RO but not CD45RA, akin to the expression of CD45RB(low) on murine CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory cells. Increasing the strength of signal by providing either costimulation with CD28 cross-linking or the addition of IL-2 to a maximal anti-CD3 stimulus resulted in a modest induction of proliferation and the loss of observable suppression in cocultures of CD4(+)CD25(high) regulatory cells and CD4(+)CD25(-) responder cells. Whereas higher ratios of CD4(+)CD25(high) T cells are required to suppress proliferation if the PD-L1 receptor is blocked, regulatory cell function is shown to persist in the absence of the PD-1/PD-L1 or CTLA-4/B7 pathway. Thus, regulatory CD4 T cells expressing high levels of the IL-2 receptor are present in humans, providing the opportunity to determine whether alterations of these populations of T cells are involved in the induction of human autoimmune disorders. 相似文献

Antigen-induced IL-10+ regulatory T cells are independent of CD25+ regulatory cells for their growth, differentiation, and function 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Recent studies have emphasized the importance of T cells with regulatory/suppressor properties in controlling autoimmune diseases. A number of different types of regulatory T cells have been described with the best characterized being the CD25(+) population. In addition, it has been shown that regulatory T cells can be induced by specific Ag administration. In this study, we investigate the relationship between peptide-induced, CD4(+) regulatory T cells and naturally occurring CD4(+)CD25(+) cells derived from the Tg4 TCR-transgenic mouse. Peptide-induced cells were FoxP3(-) and responded to Ag by secreting IL-10, whereas CD25(+) cells failed to secrete this cytokine. Both cell types were able to suppress the proliferation of naive lymphocytes in vitro although with distinct activation sensitivities. Depletion of CD25(+) cells did not affect the suppressive properties of peptide-induced regulators. Furthermore, peptide-induced regulatory/suppressor T cells could be generated in RAG(-/-), TCR-transgenic mice that do not spontaneously generate CD25(+) regulatory cells. These results demonstrate that these natural and induced regulatory cells fall into distinct subsets. 相似文献

Distinct effects of STAT5 activation on CD4+ and CD8+ T cell homeostasis: development of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells versus CD8+ memory T cells 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Burchill MA Goetz CA Prlic M O'Neil JJ Harmon IR Bensinger SJ Turka LA Brennan P Jameson SC Farrar MA 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2003,171(11):5853-5864
Using transgenic mice that express a constitutively active version of STAT5b, we demonstrate that STAT5 plays a key role in governing B cell development and T cell homeostasis. STAT5 activation leads to a 10-fold increase in pro-B, but not pro-T, cells. Conversely, STAT5 signaling promotes the expansion of mature alphabeta T cells (6-fold increase) and gammadelta and NK T cells (3- to 4-fold increase), but not of mature B cells. In addition, STAT5 activation has dramatically divergent effects on CD8(+) vs CD4(+) T cells, leading to the selective expansion of CD8(+) memory-like T cells and CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells. These results establish that activation of STAT5 is the primary mechanism underlying both IL-7/IL-15-dependent homeostatic proliferation of naive and memory CD8(+) T cells and IL-2-dependent development of CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells. 相似文献

Cutting edge: IL-4-induced protection of CD4+CD25- Th cells from CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cell-mediated suppression 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

CD4(+)CD25(+) T regulatory (Treg) cells are a CD4(+) T cell subset involved in the control of the immune response. In vitro, murine CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cells inhibit CD4(+)CD25(-) Th cell proliferation induced by anti-CD3 mAb in the presence of APCs. The addition of IL-4 to cocultured cells inhibits CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cell-mediated suppression. Since all cell types used in the coculture express the IL-4Ralpha chain, we used different combinations of CD4(+)CD25(-) Th cells, CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cells, and APCs from wild-type IL-4Ralpha(+/+) or knockout IL-4Ralpha(-/-) mice. Results show that the engagement of the IL-4Ralpha chain on CD4(+)CD25(-) Th cells renders these cells resistant to suppression. Moreover, the addition of IL-4 promotes proliferation of IL-4Ralpha(+/+)CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cells, which preserve full suppressive competence. These findings support an essential role of IL-4 signaling for CD4(+)CD25(-) Th cell activation and indicate that IL-4-induced proliferation of CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cells is compatible with their suppressive activity. 相似文献

Repeated exposures to both microbial and innocuous Ags in vivo have been reported to both eliminate and tolerize T cells after their initial activation and expansion. The remaining tolerant T cells have been shown to suppress the response of naive T cells in vitro. This feature is reminiscent of natural CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells. However, it is not known whether the regulatory function of in vivo-tolerized T cells is similar to the function of natural CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells. In this study, we demonstrate that CD4(+)CD25(+) as well as CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells isolated from mice treated with superantigen three consecutive times to induce tolerance were functionally comparable to natural CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells, albeit more potent. The different subpopulations of in vivo-tolerized CD4(+) T cells efficiently down-modulated costimulatory molecules on dendritic cells, and their suppressive functions were strictly cell contact dependent. Importantly, we demonstrate that conventional CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells could also be induced to acquire regulatory functions by the same regimen in the absence of natural regulatory T cells in vivo, but that such regulatory cells were functionally different. 相似文献

CD4+CD25+ and CD4+CD25- T cells act respectively as inducer and effector T suppressor cells in superantigen-induced tolerance 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The repeated injection of low doses of bacterial superantigens (SAg) is known to induce specific T cell unresponsiveness. We show in this study that the spleen of BALB/c mice receiving chronically, staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB) contains SEB-specific CD4(+) TCRBV8(+) T cells exerting an immune regulatory function on SEB-specific primary T cell responses. Suppression affects IL-2 and IFN-gamma secretion as well as proliferation of T cells. However, the suppressor cells differ from the natural CD4(+) T regulatory cells, described recently in human and mouse, because they do not express cell surface CD25. They are CD152 (CTLA-4)-negative and their regulatory activity is not associated with expression of the NF Foxp3. By contrast, after repeated SEB injection, CD4(+)CD25(+) splenocytes were heterogenous and contained both effector as well as regulatory cells. In vivo, CD4(+)CD25(-) T regulatory cells prevented SEB-induced death independently of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells. Nevertheless, SEB-induced tolerance could not be achieved in thymectomized CD25(+) cell-depleted mice because repeated injection of SEB did not avert lethal toxic shock in these animals. Collectively, these data demonstrate that, whereas CD4(+)CD25(+) T regulatory cells are required for the induction of SAg-induced tolerance, CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells exert their regulatory activity at the maintenance stage of SAg-specific unresponsiveness. 相似文献

Chicken CD4(+)CD25(+) cells were characterized for mammalian regulatory T cells' suppressive and cytokine production properties. Anti-chicken CD25 mAb was produced in mice and conjugated with a fluorescent tag. The specificity of the Ab against chicken CD25 was confirmed by evaluating Con A-induced CD25 upregulation in thymocytes and by quantifying the CD25 mRNA content of positive and negative cells identified by anti-chicken CD25 Ab. The percentage of CD4(+)CD25(+) cells, expressed as a percentage of CD4(+) cells, in thymus and blood was ~3-7%, in spleen was 10%, and in cecal tonsil, lung, and bone marrow was ~15%. Bursa had no detectable CD4(+)CD25(+) cells. CD25(+) cells were mostly CD4(+) in the thymus, whereas in every other organ studied, CD25(+) cells were distributed between CD4(+) and CD4(-) cells. Chicken thymic CD4(+)CD25(+) cells did not proliferate in vitro in the absence of recombinant chicken IL-2 (rCIL-2). In the presence of rCIL-2, PMA plus ionomycin or Con A stimulated CD4(+)CD25(+) cell proliferation, whereas anti-CD3 plus CD28 did not stimulate CD4(+)CD25(+) cell proliferation. Naive CD4(+)CD25(+) cells had 29-fold more IL-10 mRNA and 15-fold more TGF-β mRNA than the naive CD4(+)CD25(-) cells. Naive CD4(+)CD25(+) had no detectable IL-2 mRNA. Both naive and PMA plus ionomycin-stimulated thymic CD4(+)CD25(+) cells suppressed naive T cell proliferation. The suppressive properties were partially contact dependent. Supplementing CD4(+)CD25(+) cell coculture with rCIL-2 reversed the suppressive properties of CD4(+)CD25(+) cells. Chicken CD4(+)CD25(+) cells have suppressive properties similar to that of mammalian regulatory T cells. 相似文献

CD8+ T cell immunity against a tumor/self-antigen is augmented by CD4+ T helper cells and hindered by naturally occurring T regulatory cells 总被引:20,自引:0,他引:20

CD4(+) T cells control the effector function, memory, and maintenance of CD8(+) T cells. Paradoxically, we found that absence of CD4(+) T cells enhanced adoptive immunotherapy of cancer when using CD8(+) T cells directed against a persisting tumor/self-Ag. However, adoptive transfer of CD4(+)CD25(-) Th cells (Th cells) with tumor/self-reactive CD8(+) T cells and vaccination into CD4(+) T cell-deficient hosts induced autoimmunity and regression of established melanoma. Transfer of CD4(+) T cells that contained a mixture of Th and CD4(+)CD25(+) T regulatory cells (T(reg) cells) or T(reg) cells alone prevented effective adoptive immunotherapy. Maintenance of CD8(+) T cell numbers and function was dependent on Th cells that were capable of IL-2 production because therapy failed when Th cells were derived from IL-2(-/-) mice. These findings reveal that Th cells can help break tolerance to a persisting self-Ag and treat established tumors through an IL-2-dependent mechanism, but requires simultaneous absence of naturally occurring T(reg) cells to be effective. 相似文献

CD25(+) regulatory T (T reg) cells suppress the activation/proliferation of other CD4(+) or CD8(+) T cells in vitro. Also, down-regulation of CD25(+) T reg cells enhance antitumor immune responses. In this study, we show that depletion of CD25(+) T reg cells allows the host to induce both CD4(+) and CD8(+) antitumoral responses following tumor challenge. Simultaneous depletion of CD25(+) and CD8(+) cells, as well as adoptive transfer experiments, revealed that tumor-specific CD4(+) T cells, which emerged in the absence of CD25(+) T reg cells, were able to reject CT26 colon cancer cells, a MHC class II-negative tumor. The antitumoral effect mediated by CD4(+) T cells was dependent on IFN-gamma production, which exerted a potent antiangiogenic activity. The capacity of the host to mount this antitumor response is lost once the number of CD25(+) T reg cells is restored over time. However, CD25(+) T reg cell depletion before immunization with AH1 (a cytotoxic T cell determinant from CT26 tumor cells) permits the induction of a long-lasting antitumoral immune response, not observed if immunization is conducted in the presence of regulatory cells. A study of the effect of different levels of depletion of CD25(+) T reg cells before immunization with the peptide AH1 alone, or in combination with a Th determinant, unraveled that Th cells play an important role in overcoming the suppressive effect of CD25(+) T reg on the induction of long-lasting cellular immune responses. 相似文献

Naturally occurring CD4(+) regulatory T cells are generally identified through their expression of CD25. However, in several experimental systems considerable T(reg) activity has been observed in the CD4(+)CD25(-) fraction. Upon adoptive transfer, the expression of CD25 in donor-derived cells is not stable, with CD4(+)CD25(+) cells appearing in CD4(+)CD25(-) T cell-injected animals and vice versa. We show in this study that CD25(+) cells arising from donor CD25(-) cells upon homeostatic proliferation in recipient mice express markers of freshly isolated T(reg) cells, display an anergic state, and suppress the proliferation of other cells in vitro. The maintenance of CD25 expression by CD4(+)CD25(+) cells depends on IL-2 secreted by cotransferred CD4(+)CD25(-) or by Ag-stimulated T cells in peripheral lymphoid organs. 相似文献

Intestinal lamina propria retaining CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells is a suppressive site of intestinal inflammation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Makita S Kanai T Nemoto Y Totsuka T Okamoto R Tsuchiya K Yamamoto M Kiyono H Watanabe M 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2007,178(8):4937-4946
It is well known that immune responses in the intestine remain in a state of controlled inflammation, suggesting that not only does active suppression by regulatory T (T(REG)) cells play an important role in the normal intestinal homeostasis, but also that its dysregulation of immune response leads to the development of inflammatory bowel disease. In this study, we demonstrate that murine CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells residing in the intestinal lamina propria (LP) constitutively express CTLA-4, glucocorticoid-induced TNFR, and Foxp3 and suppress proliferation of responder CD4(+) T cells in vitro. Furthermore, cotransfer of intestinal LP CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells prevents the development of chronic colitis induced by adoptive transfer of CD4(+)CD45RB(high) T cells into SCID mice. When lymphotoxin (LT)alpha-deficient intercrossed Rag2 double knockout mice (LTalpha(-/-) x Rag2(-/-)), which lack mesenteric lymph nodes and Peyer's patches, are transferred with CD4(+)CD45RB(high) T cells, they develop severe wasting disease and chronic colitis despite the delayed kinetics as compared with the control LTalpha(+/+) x Rag2(-/-) mice transferred with CD4(+)CD45RB(high) T cells. Of note, when a mixture of splenic CD4(+)CD25(+) T(REG) cells and CD4(+)CD45RB(high) T cells are transferred into LTalpha(-/-) x Rag2(-/-) recipients, CD4(+)CD25(+) T(REG) cells migrate into the colon and prevent the development of colitis in LTalpha(-/-) x Rag2(-/-) recipients as well as in the control LTalpha(+/+) x Rag2(-/-) recipients. These results suggest that the intestinal LP harboring CD4(+)CD25(+) T(REG) cells contributes to the intestinal immune suppression. 相似文献

Our earlier study showed that GM-CSF has the potential not only to prevent, but also to suppress, experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT). GM-CSF-induced EAT suppression in mice was accompanied by an increase in the frequency of CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells that could suppress mouse thyroglobulin (mTg)-specific T cell responses in vitro, but the underlying mechanism of this suppression was not elucidated. In this study we show that GM-CSF can induce dendritic cells (DCs) with a semimature phenotype, an important characteristic of DCs, which are known to play a critical role in the induction and maintenance of regulatory T cells. Adoptive transfer of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells from GM-CSF-treated and mTg-primed donors into untreated, but mTg-primed, recipients resulted in decreased mTg-specific T cell responses. Furthermore, lymphocytes obtained from these donors and recipients after adoptive transfer produced significantly higher levels of IL-10 compared with mTg-primed, untreated, control mice. Administration of anti-IL-10R Ab into GM-CSF-treated mice abrogated GM-CSF-induced suppression of EAT, as indicated by increased mTg-specific T cell responses, thyroid lymphocyte infiltration, and follicular destruction. Interestingly, in vivo blockade of IL-10R did not affect GM-CSF-induced expansion of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells. However, IL-10-induced immunosuppression was due to its direct effects on mTg-specific effector T cells. Taken together, these results indicated that IL-10, produced by CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells that were probably induced by semimature DCs, is essential for disease suppression in GM-CSF-treated mice. 相似文献

Tolerogenic semimature dendritic cells suppress experimental autoimmune thyroiditis by activation of thyroglobulin-specific CD4+CD25+ T cells 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11

Ex vivo treatment of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) with TNF-alpha has been previously shown to induce partial maturation of DCs that are able to suppress autoimmunity. In this study, we demonstrate that i.v. administration of TNF-alpha-treated, semimature DCs pulsed with thyrogloblin (Tg), but not with OVA Ag, inhibits the subsequent development of Tg-induced experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) in CBA/J mice. This protocol activates CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells in vivo, which secrete IL-10 upon specific recognition of Tg in vitro and express regulatory T cell (Treg)-associated markers such as glucocorticoid-induced TNFR, CTLA-4, and Foxp3. These CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cells suppressed the proliferation and cytokine release of Tg-specific, CD4(+)CD25(-) effector cells in vitro, in an IL-10-independent, cell contact-dependent manner. Prior adoptive transfer of the same CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cells into CBA/J hosts suppressed Tg-induced EAT. These results demonstrate that the tolerogenic potential of Tg-pulsed, semimature DCs in EAT is likely to be mediated through the selective activation of Tg-specific CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cells and provide new insights for the study of Ag-specific immunoregulation of autoimmune diseases. 相似文献

Uncoupling of IL-2 signaling from cell cycle progression in naive CD4+ T cells by regulatory CD4+CD25+ T lymphocytes 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Duthoit CT Mekala DJ Alli RS Geiger TL 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2005,174(1):155-163
Prior reports have shown that CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells suppress naive T cell responses by inhibiting IL-2 production. In this report, using an Ag-specific TCR transgenic system, we show that naive T cells stimulated with cognate Ag in the presence of preactivated CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells also become refractory to the mitogenic effects of IL-2. T cells stimulated in the presence of regulatory T cells up-regulated high affinity IL-2R, but failed to produce IL-2, express cyclins or c-Myc, or exit G(0)-G(1). Exogenous IL-2 failed to break the mitotic block, demonstrating that the IL-2 production failure was not wholly responsible for the proliferation defect. This IL-2 unresponsiveness did not require the continuous presence of CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells. The majority of responder T cells reisolated after coculture with regulatory cells failed to proliferate in response to IL-2, but were not anergic and proliferated in response to Ag. The mitotic block was also dissociated from the antiapoptotic effects of IL-2, because IL-2 still promoted the survival of T cells that had been cocultured with CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells. IL-2-induced STAT5 phosphorylation in the cocultured responder cells was intact, implying that the effects of the regulatory cells were downstream of receptor activation. Our results therefore show that T cell activation in the presence of CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells can induce an alternative stimulation program characterized by up-regulation of high affinity IL-2R, but a failure to produce IL-2, and uncoupling of the mitogenic and antiapoptotic effects of IL-2. 相似文献

We show in this study that long-term tolerance to allogeneic skin grafts can be established in the absence of immunosuppression by the combination of the following elements: 1) augmenting the frequency of regulatory CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells (Treg) and 2) presentation of the allogeneic stimuli through linked recognition of allo- and self-epitopes on semiallogeneic F(1) APCs. BALB/c spleen cells enriched for CD4(+)CD25(+) T lymphocytes were transferred either to BALB/c nu/nu mice or to BALB/c nu/nu previously injected with F(1)(BALB/c x B6.Ba) spleen cells, or else grafted with F(1)(BALB/c x B6.Ba) skin (chimeric BALB/c nu/nu-F(1)). Chimeric BALB/c nu/nu-F(1) reconstituted with syngeneic CD25(+)-enriched spleen cells were unable to reject the previously transferred F(1)(BALB/c x B6.Ba) spleen cells or F(1)(BALB/c x B6.Ba) skin grafts, and a specific tolerance to a secondary B6 graft was obtained, with rejection of third-party CBA grafts. BALB/c nu/nu mice reconstituted only with syngeneic CD25(+)-enriched spleen cells rejected both B6 and CBA skin grafts. In contrast, when chimeric BALB/c nu/nu-F(1) were reconstituted with spleen populations comprising normal frequencies of Treg cells, the linked recognition of allo and self resulted in breaking of self tolerance and rejection of syngeneic grafts, strongly suggesting that linked recognition works in both directions, either to establish tolerance to allo, or to break tolerance to self, the critical parameter being the relative number of Treg cells. 相似文献

CD25+ CD4+ T cells regulate the expansion of peripheral CD4 T cells through the production of IL-10 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21

The mechanisms by which the immune system achieves constant T cell numbers throughout life, thereby controlling autoaggressive cell expansions, are to date not completely understood. Here, we show that the CD25(+) subpopulation of naturally activated (CD45RB(low)) CD4 T cells, but not CD25(-) CD45RB(low) CD4 T cells, inhibits the accumulation of cotransferred CD45RB(high) CD4 T cells in lymphocyte-deficient mice. However, both CD25(+) and CD25(-) CD45RB(low) CD4 T cell subpopulations contain regulatory cells, since they can prevent naive CD4 T cell-induced wasting disease. In the absence of a correlation between disease and the number of recovered CD4(+) cells, we conclude that expansion control and disease prevention are largely independent processes. CD25(+) CD45RB(low) CD4 T cells from IL-10-deficient mice do not protect from disease. They accumulate to a higher cell number and cannot prevent the expansion of CD45RB(high) CD4 T cells upon transfer compared with their wild-type counterparts. Although CD25(+) CD45RB(low) CD4 T cells are capable of expanding when transferred in vivo, they reach a homeostatic equilibrium at lower cell numbers than CD25(-) CD45RB(low) or CD45RB(high) CD4 T cells. We conclude that CD25(+) CD45RB(low) CD4 T cells from nonmanipulated mice control the number of peripheral CD4 T cells through a mechanism involving the production of IL-10 by regulatory T cells. 相似文献
