白细胞介素2亲和性配体的筛选

白细胞介素2(IL-2)及其受体拮抗剂的研究对免疫抑制药物的研制具有重要作用.抗白细胞介素2受体α链中和性单克隆抗体5G1(抗Tac型抗体)能够特异性地阻断IL-2与其受体的结合.因此,5G1可作为目标分子被用来在噬菌体展示肽库中筛选白细胞介素2的亲和性配体.经过4轮亲和性筛选以及5G1亲和活性的测定,6个具有明显5G1亲和活性的噬菌体克隆被发现.DNA序列分析结果显示出,所得到的肽序列具有明显的保守性,即SSFT(L/P)I.该序列与IL-2受体α链没有同源性.因此,SSFT(L/P)I可能模拟了IL-2受体α链上的一个不连续表位(mimotope),为白细胞介素2亲和性配体片段.

创伤后抑制性T细胞对活化T细胞内白介素2及白介素2受体α基因表达的影响

研究了创伤小鼠抑制性T细胞(Ts)对白介素2(IL-2)及IL-2受体(IL-2R)α基因表达的抑制作用。结果表明,创伤后Ts细胞对正常活化T细胞内IL-2 mRNA及IL-2 RαmRNA水平的抑制作用增强,以伤后4天最为明显,伤后10天仍未恢复正常。创伤后Ts细胞还可升高正常活化T细胞内cAMP含量,降低cGMP含量,增加cAMP/cGMP比值。且可降低三磷酸肌醇(IP_3)含量、游离钙(Ca~(2 ))浓度、钙调素(CaM)、钙调素依赖性蛋白激酶(CaM-PK)及蛋白激酶C(PKC)的活性。去除创伤小鼠活化T细胞中的Ts细胞,则可使其IL-2mRNA及IL-2RαmRNA水平明显升高。并可使cAMP、cGMP、IP_3含量、Ca~(2 )浓度、CaM、CaM-PK及PKC活性的变化发生逆转。表明创伤后Ts细胞可通过影响T细胞内环核苷酸含量及磷脂酰肌醇代谢途径,进而抑制IL-2及IL-2 Rα的基因表达。     

创伤后巨噬细胞对T细胞白介素2及白介素2受体α基因表达的直接接触抑制作用

人白细胞介素－2的两个部分拮抗剂

通过定点诱变技术得到6个生物活性剧烈下降的人白细胞介素-2(IL-2)突变体,其中两个突变体即15Val-IL-2和126Asp-IL-2可以在一定浓度范围内使IL-2的生物效应降低.在对高亲和力IL-2受体(IL-2R)的竞争抑制实验中,15Val-IL-2和126Asp-IL-2又表现了一定的竞争能力.这些结果表明15Val-IL-2和126Asp-IL-2的部分拮抗天然IL-2的作用.结合IL-2二级结构分析及对IL-2与IL-2R相互作用的已有认识,可认为15Val-IL-2和126Asp-IL-2的部分拮抗作用产生的原因在于替换残基在空间上对IL-2与IL-2R βγ亚基结合微环境的轻微扰动,干扰了IL-2有关残基与IL-2R βγ亚基的结合,但尚不能完全阻止其与IL-2R βγ亚基的结合.     

A secreted form of the human interleukin 2 receptor encoded by an "anchor minus" cDNA

The DNA sequence encoding all of the putative intracytoplasmic domain and most of the trans-membrane domain of the human IL 2 receptor was deleted from a full length receptor cDNA. After expression in mouse L cells, the resultant "anchor minus" cDNA was found to direct the synthesis of a secreted rather than membrane-associated form of the IL 2 receptor. The secreted receptor protein (44,000 to 46,000 Mr) retained the capacity to bind both IL 2 and the monoclonal anti-Tac antibody, as evidenced by retention on IL 2 and anti-Tac affinity columns, inhibition of [3H]-anti-Tac binding to HUT 102B2 cells, and partial inhibition of IL 2-induced CTLL proliferation. Removal of these domains from the IL 2 receptor did not alter the posttranslational processing or rate of export of the truncated receptor protein. These data confirm the proposed membrane orientation of the IL 2 receptor (NH2 terminus out, COOH terminus in) and underscore the anchoring function of this carboxy terminal receptor segment. The availability of such anchor minus receptor cDNA constructs may facilitate purification of large quantities of receptor protein for further analysis of receptor structure, valency, and localization of the IL 2 binding site(s).     

Improvement in the antibody productivity of human-human hybridomas by transfection with Tac gene

The presence of a highly purified recombinant interleukin-2 (rIL-2) increased the production of immunoglobulin (IgM or IgG) by human-human hybridomas to 1.5–2.0 times the production by untreated cells. However, these cells did not react with anti-Tac (IL-2 receptor ) antibody. To enhance the response of the hybridoma cells to rIL-2, Tac gene was introduced by co-transfection with Tac gene expression plasmid pTB459 and G418 resistant gene expression plasmid pRSVneo. Tac cDNA transfected hybridoma (HBW-4.16.459-6-126) was induced to produce 6 times as much IgG by rIL-2 as was the control. This antibody production promoting phenomenon mediated by rIL-2 was depressed by anti-Tac antibody.     

A novel strategy for the negative selection in mouse embryonic stem cells operated with immunotoxin-mediated cell targeting.

Immunotoxoin-mediated cell targeting (IMCT) is a technique for conditionally ablating specific cell types based on the cytotoxic activity of a recombinant immunotoxin anti-Tac (Fv)-PE40. To examine the feasibility of this technique for the negative selection in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells, we investigated the responsiveness of cells expressing human interleukin-2 receptor alpha subunit to anti-Tac(Fv)-PE40. The immunotoxin treatment efficiently eliminated only ES cells bearing the receptor as a consequence of the target specificity of anti-Tac(Fv)-PE40, indicating that IMCT can be used as a novel strategy for positive and negative selection to enrich ES cell clones with a targeted mutation.     

Identification of a human SCARB2 region that is important for enterovirus 71 binding and infection

We previously identified human scavenger receptor class B, member 2 (SCARB2), as a cellular receptor for enterovirus 71 (EV71). Expression of human SCARB2 (hSCARB2) permitted mouse L929 cells to efficiently bind to virions and to produce both viral proteins and progeny viruses upon EV71 infection. Mouse Scarb2 (mScarb2) exhibited 85.8% amino acid identity and 99.9% similarity to hSCARB2. The expression of mScarb2 in L929 cells conferred partial susceptibility. Very few virions bound to mScarb2-expressing cells. The viral titer in L929 cells expressing mScarb2 was approximately 40- to 100-fold lower than that in L929 cells expressing hSCARB2. Using hSCARB2-mScarb2 chimeric mutants, we attempted to map the region that was important for efficient EV71 infection. L929 cells expressing chimeras that carried amino acids 142 to 204 from the human sequence were susceptible to EV71, while chimeras that carried the mouse sequence in this region were not. Moreover, this region was also critical for binding to virions. The determination of this region in hSCARB2 that is important for EV71 binding and infection greatly contributes to the understanding of virus-receptor interactions. Further studies will clarify the early steps of EV71 infection.     

Structural analysis of high- versus low-affinity interleukin-2 receptors by means of selective expression of distinct receptor classes.

Activated T cells express at least two distinct affinity classes of interleukin-2 (IL-2) receptors. The number of low-affinity receptors per cell is normally 10-30 times greater than that of the high-affinity receptors, and the difference in the dissociation constant between the two classes of receptors is in the order of 1,000-fold. In this report normal human T cells are used in a cellular system in which the number of low-affinity receptors can be manipulated. It is demonstrated that a cell population could be achieved with such low levels of low-affinity IL-2 receptors that almost half of the surface pool of anti-IL-2 receptor antibody (anti-Tac) binding sites represented high-affinity receptors. By using this cellular system it was possible to show that anti-Tac recognizes both receptor classes with similar affinity and that IL-2 inhibits Tac binding to both receptor classes in a competitive fashion. Tac antigens were purified from surface 125I-labeled cells expressing high levels of high-affinity IL-2 receptors, but low levels of the low-affinity receptor class, and this preparation was compared with another pool of Tac antigens obtained from cells expressing the normal 10- to 20-fold excess of low-affinity IL-2 binding sites over high-affinity IL-2 receptors. Biochemical characterization by peptide mapping by limited proteolysis and two-dimensional gel analysis revealed that these distinct preparations of Tac antigens were indistinguishable.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Reversal of TNF-alpha resistance by hyperthermia: role of mitochondria

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of hyperthermia on tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) resistance in L929-11E cells. L929-11E is a TNF-alpha resistant variant derived from L929 cells, a commonly used model for TNF-alpha study. Based on the results from flow cytometry and Western blotting, hyperthermia (43 degrees C, 3 h) was found to induce apoptosis, mitochondrial potential (delta psi(m)) depolarization and release of cytochrome c in L929-11E cells. Similar responses were found in L929 cells when treated with TNF-alpha. Heating at 43 degrees C for 1 h did not significantly damage the mitochondria of L929-11E cells but partially reversed their resistance to TNF-alpha. When L929-11E cells were sequentially treated with heating (43 degrees C, 1 h) and TNF-alpha, a more severe damage in mitochondria was observed. Taken together, our results indicate (1) hyperthermia induced apoptosis in L929-11E cells via mitochondrial damages in a way very similar to the action of TNF-alpha in L929 cells, (2) hyperthermia could be used to overcome TNF-alpha resistance by altering mitochondrial activities and (3) L929-11E and its parental cells provide a useful model in elucidating the signalling linkage between TNF-alpha receptor and mitochondria.     

A new monoclonal antibody recognizing an antigen of human lymphocytes similar or identical to Tac antigen

A new mouse monoclonal antibody (HIEI, IgG1 type) that reacts with a cell surface glycoprotein of human lymphocytes was isolated. Membrane immunofluorescence assay showed that HIEI, like the anti-Tac monoclonal antibody, reacted preferentially with activated normal human T-cells and adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) virus (ATLV)-carrying human T- and B-cell lines. However, an interesting difference between HIEI and anti-Tac antibody was that HIEI did not react with ATLV-transformed simian cell lines or those cultured with interleukin-2 (IL-2), whereas the anti-Tac antibody did. The immunoprecipitation assay showed that both HIEI and anti-Tac antibody precipitated a glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 60,000 daltons (gp60) from activated normal T-cells and ATLV-positive T- and B-cells, and also gp53 from MT-2 and MT-2-related T-cell lines transformed with ATLV in vitro by the MT-2 cocultivation method. HIEI inhibited the IL-2-dependent proliferation of normal T-cells, but its inhibitory effect was much weaker than that of the anti-Tac antibody. The anti-Tac antibody interfered with the binding of HIEI to target cells, but HIEI did not block binding of the anti-Tac antibody to the cells. These observations indicate that HIEI antibody recognizes a new antigenic determinant of the human Tac antigen.     

Characterization of an apoptosis inhibitory domain at the C-termini of FE65-like protein

TR2(L) is a 56-amino-acid polypeptide that has been shown to block TNF cytotoxicity. FE65-like (FE65L) proteins possess this conserved TR2(L) sequence at their C-termini, whereas variations in the sequences are found in the FE65 proteins. To further analyze the antiapoptotic function of TR2(L), here we utilized an isolated murine partial FE65L cDNA that encodes an N-terminal phosphotyrosine-binding domain (PTB) and the conserved C-terminal TR2(L) sequence. When L929 cells were stably transfected with the FE65L cDNA or its 3' end TR2(L) DNA sequence, these cells became resistant to TNF killing. Replacement of the N-terminal PTB domain with GFP failed to abolish the FE65L-mediated TNF resistance. Ablation of the C-terminal TR2(L) sequence through frame-shift mutation resulted in a complete loss of the FE65L function against TNF. Various protein kinase inhibitors, including lavendustin A, tyrphostin, H7, and staurosporine, which may affect the PTB domain function, could not abolish the FE65L-mediated TNF resistance. A prolonged exposure of L929 cells to these inhibitors for 24 h resulted in cell death, whereas FE65L significantly blocked the cell death. Polyclonal antibodies were generated against a synthetic peptide and shown to interact with a 38-kDa FE65L in L929 cells. Hyaluronidase downregulates the expression of FE65L gene and protein in L929 cells, and this correlates with its enhancement of TNF killing of these cells. Together, our data indicate that the TR2(L) amino acid sequence is an apoptosis-inhibitory domain commonly present in the FE65 and FE65-like family proteins.
