Type 2 inflammation is a defining feature of infection with parasitic worms (helminths), as well as being responsible for widespread suffering in allergies. However, the precise mechanisms involved in T helper (Th) 2 polarization by dendritic cells (DCs) are currently unclear. We have identified a previously unrecognized role for type I IFN (IFN‐I) in enabling this process. An IFN‐I signature was evident in DCs responding to the helminth Schistosoma mansoni or the allergen house dust mite (HDM). Further, IFN‐I signaling was required for optimal DC phenotypic activation in response to helminth antigen (Ag), and efficient migration to, and localization with, T cells in the draining lymph node (dLN). Importantly, DCs generated from Ifnar1?/? mice were incapable of initiating Th2 responses in vivo. These data demonstrate for the first time that the influence of IFN‐I is not limited to antiviral or bacterial settings but also has a central role to play in DC initiation of Th2 responses. 相似文献

The zebrafish gene, mind bomb (mib), encodes a protein that positively regulates of the Delta-mediated Notch signaling. It interacts with the intracellular domain of Delta to promote its ubiquitination and endocytosis. In our search for the mouse homologue of zebrafish mind bomb, we cloned two homologues in the mouse genome: a mouse orthologue (mouse mib1) and a paralogue, named mind bomb-2 (mib2), which is evolutionarily conserved from Drosophila to human. Both Mib1 and Mib2 have an E3 ubiquitin ligase activity in their C-terminal RING domain and interact with Xenopus Delta (XD) via their N-terminal region. Mib2 is also able to ligate ubiquitin to XD and shift the membrane localization of Delta to intracellular vesicles. Importantly, Mib2 rescues both the neuronal and vascular defects in the zebrafish mib(ta52b) mutants. In contrast to the functional similarities between Mib1 and Mib2, mib2 is highly expressed in adult tissues, but almost not at all in embryos, whereas mib1 is abundantly expressed in both embryos and adult tissues. These data suggest that Mib2 has functional similarities to Mib1, but might have distinct roles in Notch signaling as an E3 ubiquitin ligase. 相似文献

Class II MHC-restricted T cells recently have been characterized as being either type 1 (Th1) or type 2 (Th2) based on their ability to both secrete different lymphokines and perform different functions. Characterization of these subtypes to date have indicated that Th1 cells secrete IL-2, IFN-gamma, lymphotoxin, and IL-3, whereas Th2 cells secrete IL-4, IL-5, and IL-3. Functionally, Th1 cells mediated cytotoxicity and delayed-type hypersensitivity, and have been termed "inflammatory cells," whereas Th2 cells mediate helper function for Ig secretion and have been termed, "regulatory cells." We now present evidence that not all Th1 clones are inflammatory and capable of mediating cutaneous delayed-type hypersensitivity. We have generated a number of myelin basic protein-specific Th1 clones that do not mediate swelling when injected together with myelin basic protein directly into the footpads of syngeneic mice. These results suggest that Th1 cells can be further subdivided based on their ability to mediate delayed-type hypersensitivity, and that the Th1/Th2 characterization of Th cells may be insufficient to adequately characterize all functional subtypes of class II MHC-restricted T cells. 相似文献

Studies on dendritic cells (DC) of the respiratory and gastric mucosae have identified an extensive network of cells that represent the predominant antigen-presenting cell type at these sites. Under steady-state conditions, respiratory tract DC (RTDC) are specialized for antigen uptake and spontaneously migrate to local lymph nodes, although in vivo transfer studies have shown that the T-cell priming activity of these cells is restricted to low-level, Th2-skewed responses. Following exposure to inflammatory stimuli, the migration of RTDC to lymph nodes is accelerated and is associated with a rapid and dramatic increase in the ability of these cells to induce both Th1- and Th2-dependent immunity. Under normal circumstances, however, responsiveness of epithelial RTDC to maturation stimuli is regulated by locally produced micro-environmental factors, including pro-inflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species and prostanoids. These studies have led to a greater understanding of airway DC function and their role in T helper cell differentiation and provide the basis for future studies to determine the role of the cells in the aetiology and pathogenesis of respiratory immunoinflammatory disorders. 相似文献

Dendritic cells (DCs) are integral to the differentiation of T helper cells into T helper type 1 T(H)1, T(H)2 and T(H)17 subsets. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) plays an important part in regulating these three arms of the immune response by limiting the T(H)1 response and promoting the T(H)2 and T(H)17 responses. In this study, we investigated pathways in DCs that promote IL-6 production. We show that the allergen house dust mite (HDM) or the mucosal adjuvant cholera toxin promotes cell surface expression of c-Kit and its ligand, stem cell factor (SCF), on DCs. This dual upregulation of c-Kit and SCF results in sustained signaling downstream of c-Kit, promoting IL-6 secretion. Intranasal administration of antigen into c-Kit-mutant mice or neutralization of IL-6 in cultures established from the lung-draining lymph nodes of immunized wild-type mice blunted the T(H)2 and T(H)17 responses. DCs lacking functional c-Kit or those unable to express membrane-bound SCF secreted lower amounts of IL-6 in response to HDM or cholera toxin. DCs expressing nonfunctional c-Kit were unable to induce a robust T(H)2 or T(H)17 response and elicited diminished allergic airway inflammation when adoptively transferred into mice. Expression of the Notch ligand Jagged-2, which has been associated with T(H)2 differentiation, was blunted in DCs from c-Kit-mutant mice. c-Kit upregulation was specifically induced by T(H)2- and T(H)17-skewing stimuli, as the T(H)1-inducing adjuvant, CpG oligodeoxynucleotide, did not promote either c-Kit or Jagged-2 expression. DCs generated from mice expressing a catalytically inactive form of the p110delta subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3 (PI3) kinase (p110(D910A)) secreted lower amounts of IL-6 upon stimulation with cholera toxin. Collectively, these results highlight the importance of the c-Kit-PI3 kinase-IL-6 signaling axis in DCs in regulating T cell responses. 相似文献

Intraembryonic hematopoiesis occurs at two different sites, the floor of the aorta and subaortic patches (SAPs) of the para-aortic splanchnopleura (P-Sp)/aorta-gonad-mesonephros (AGM) region. Notch1 and RBP-jκ are critical for the specification of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) in Notch signal-receiving cells. However, the mechanism by which Notch signaling is triggered from the Notch signal-sending cells to support embryonic hematopoiesis remains to be determined. We previously reported that Mind bomb-1 (Mib1) regulates Notch ligands in the Notch signal-sending cells (B. K. Koo, M. J. Yoon, K. J. Yoon, S. K. Im, Y. Y. Kim, C. H. Kim, P. G. Suh, Y. N. Jan, and Y. Y. Kong, PLoS ONE 2:e1221, 2007). Here, we show that intraembryonic hematopoietic progenitors were absent in the P-Sp of Mib1−/− embryos, whereas they were partly preserved in the Tie2-cre; Mib1f/f P-Sps, suggesting that Mib1 plays a role in the endothelium and the SAPs. Interestingly, dll1 and dll4/Jag1 are expressed in the SAPs and the endothelium of the AGM, respectively, where mib1 is detected. Indeed, Notch signaling was activated in the nascent HSCs at both sites. In the P-Sp explant culture, the overexpression of Dll1 in OP9 stromal cells rescued the failed production of hematopoietic progenitors in the Mib1−/− P-Sp, while its activity was abolished by Mib1 knockdown. These results suggest that Mib1 is important for intraembryonic hematopoiesis not only in the aortic endothelium but also in the SAPs. 相似文献

Mutations in Drosophila neuralized (Dneur) result in a variety of developmental defects that closely resemble those of Notch mutants and other Notch pathway mutants. However, mice with disrupted neur1 do not show any aberrant cell fate specifications in neurogenesis and somitogenesis. Thus, we speculated that other vertebrate neur homolog(s) might compensate for loss of the neur gene. Here, we report the paralog of mouse Neur1, named Neuralized-2 (Neur2), which is a ubiquitin-protein isopeptide ligase (E3) that interacts with and ubiquitinates Delta. Both murine Neur1 and Neur2 have similar degrees of homology to DNeur, and neur2 is expressed in patterns similar to those of neur1 in embryos, suggesting potential functional redundancy. Interestingly, two distinct classes of E3 ligases, Mind bomb-1 (Mib1) and Neur2, have cooperative but distinct roles in Delta endocytosis to Hrs-positive vesicles, i.e. Mib1 functions in the initial step of Delta endocytosis, and Neur2 is required for targeting endocytosed Delta to Hrs-positive vesicles. Thus, our study provides a new insight into how distinct E3 ligases work together in the endocytic pathways for Notch signaling. 相似文献

Background
The development and activation of CD4+ helper T cell (Th) subsets with distinct patterns of unbalanced production of cytokines play an important part in infectious, allergic and autoimmune diseases. Human neonatal cord blood CD4+ Th cells can be polarized into type 1 or type 2-like effector cells in vitro by culturing them in the presence of interleukin (IL)-12 or IL-4, respectively. We have exploited this experimental system to identify marker genes that are differentially expressed by polarized Th1 and Th2 cells. An oligonucleotide microarray specifically designed to screen for inflammation-related candidate genes was used and the differential expression was further validated with a quantitative real-time RT-PCR method.Results
In addition to the previously described marker genes of Th cells, we report subtle changes in the expression of several other genes that represent growth factors, receptors and other signaling molecules in polarized Th1 and Th2 cell subsets. Additionally, we describe a novel set of genes as Th1/Th2 differentiation markers for cells activated by anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 antibodies.Conclusions
This study demonstrates the power of the targeted use of microarrays in combination with quantitative real-time RT-PCR in identifying and validating new marker genes for gene expression studies. 相似文献12.
The generation of Th1 responses is important for resistance to intracellular pathogens, including the parasite, Leishmania major. Although IFN-gammaR/STAT1 signaling promotes a Th1 response via the up-regulation of T-bet, the requirement for STAT1 in Th1 cell differentiation remains controversial. Although in some cases Th1 cells develop independently of STAT1, STAT1(-/-) mice fail to develop a Th1 response during L. major infection. However, the interpretation of this result is complicated by the role STAT1 plays in Ag presentation and, more importantly, in elimination of parasites by macrophages, because both defective Ag presentation and increased parasite burden can influence Th cell development. To resolve this issue, we assessed the ability of STAT1(-/-) T cells to become Th1 cells and protect mice against L. major following adoptive transfer into STAT1-sufficient mice. We found that whereas T-bet is critical for the differentiation of protective Th1 cells during L. major infection, IFN-gammaR and STAT1 are dispensable. Given that a STAT1-independent Th1 cell response was generated by STAT1-sufficient APCs, but not by STAT1(-/-) cells, we next addressed whether dendritic cells (DCs) require STAT1 signaling to effectively present Ag. We found that STAT1(-/-) DCs had impaired up-regulation of MHC and costimulatory molecules, and, as a consequence, the absence of STAT1 resulted in reduced Th1 cell priming. Taken together, these results demonstrate that T cell expression of STAT1 is not required for the development of Th1 cells protective against L. major and instead stress the importance of STAT1 signaling in DCs for the optimal induction of Th1 responses. 相似文献

We have used MLR to assess the cell interactions that enable human PBL stimulated with irradiated, allogeneic PBL to give rise to allospecific, IFN-gamma-producing CD4 T cells. We were able to generate alloantigen-specific, IFN-gamma-producing T cells from peripheral blood. The responder and stimulator cell numbers required for the optimal generation of such cells, enumerated using an enzyme-linked immunospot assay, were separately determined for various combinations of responders and stimulators. The number of antigen-specific, IFN-gamma-producing cells generated per 10(6) responder cells, seeded at the initiation of culture, is critically dependent on the density of the responder cells, with minimal generation of IFN-gamma-producing T cells at low responder densities. These and further observations with fractionated responding PBL show that CD4 T-cell/CD4 T-cell interactions, which are completely independent of CD8() T cells, are necessary for the in vitro generation of alloantigen-specific, IFN-gamma-producing CD4 T cells. 相似文献

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated disease with a clear sex-bias that may be attributed to sex hormones, sex' linked genes or both. Here we sought to determine the evolution pattern of cortisol and sex hormones at MS relapse and 2-months later in 7 male patients with relapsing remitting MS, and whether there was a correlation with a specific Th1 and Th2 cytokine pattern. Our findings indicate the activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and the concomitant upregulation of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines during relapse. The further increase of sex hormones, in particular estradiol in our male MS patients suggest their possible implication in the physiopathology of the illness and a putative anti-inflammatory and neuroreparatory effect. 相似文献

Insufficient folate status may be related to the increasing prevalence of immune- or inflammation-related chronic diseases. To investigate the effects of folate on immune regulation, we examined the impact of folate deficiency (FD) on dendritic cell (DC) maturation and function and, thus, T helper (Th) cells differentiation. First, bone marrow-derived DCs (BMDCs) were generated from BALB/c mice bone marrow cells cultured in folate-containing (F-BMDCs) or folate-deficient (FD-BMDCs) medium. FD-BMDC displayed more immature phenotype including reduced levels of major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC II), co-stimulatory molecules and characteristic of higher endocytic activity. FD-BMDC produced less IL-12p70 and proinflammatory cytokines in response to lipopolysaccharide. This aberrant DC maturation due to FD resulted in reduced BMDC-induced Th cell activity and lower IL-2, IFNγ, IL-13 and IL-10 productions. Further in vivo study confirmed significantly lower IFNγ and IL-10 productions by T cells and showed higher splenic naïve Th and lower memory T, effector T and regulatory T cell (Treg) percentages in mice fed with the FD diet for 13 weeks. To investigate the role of DCs on T cell activity, splenic DCs (spDC) from FD mice were cocultured with Th cells. The FD spDC had lower MHC II and CD80 expressions and subsequently impaired DC-induced Th differentiation, shown as decreased cytokine productions. This study demonstrated that folate deficiency impaired DC functions and, thus, Th differentiation and responses, suggesting that folate plays a crucial role in maintaining Th cells homeostasis. 相似文献

AIMP1/p43 protein induces the maturation of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells with T helper type 1-polarizing ability 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

AIMP1 (ARS-interacting multifunctional protein 1), previously known as p43, was initially identified as a factor associated with a macromolecular tRNA synthetase complex. Recently, we demonstrated that AIMP1 is also secreted and acts as a novel pleiotropic cytokine. In this study, we investigated whether AIMP1 induces the activation and maturation of murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs). AIMP1-treated DCs exhibited up-regulated expression of cell-surface molecules, including CD40, CD86, and MHC class II. Additionally, microarray analysis and RT-PCR determinations indicated that the expression of known DC maturation genes also increased significantly following treatment with AIMP1. Treatment of DCs with AIMP1 resulted in a significant increase in IL-12 production and Ag-presenting capability, and it also stimulated the proliferation of allogeneic T cells. Importantly, AIMP1-treated DCs induced activation of Ag-specific Th type 1 (Th1) cells in vitro and in vivo. AIMP1-stimulated DCs significantly enhanced the IFN-gamma production of cocultured CD4+ T cells. Immunization of mice with keyhole limpet hemocyanin-pulsed AIMP1 DCs efficiently led to Ag-specific Th1 cell responses, as determined by flow cytometry and ELISA. The addition of a neutralizing anti-IL-12 mAb to the cell cultures that had been treated with AIMP1 resulted in the decreased production of IFN-gamma, thereby indicating that AIMP1-stimulated DCs may enhance the Th1 response through increased production of IL-12 by APCs. Taken together, these results indicate that AIMP1 protein induces the maturation and activation of DCs, which skew the immune response toward a Th1 response. 相似文献

We demonstrate the expression of S1P(1,3,4,5) the receptors for sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P), and LPA(1,2,3) the receptors for lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) in T helper 1 (Th1) and T helper 2 (Th2) cells. S1P and LPA induce the chemotaxis of Th1 and Th2 cells, an activity that is resistant to pertussis toxin (PTX) pretreatment in Th1, but is sensitive in Th2 cells. Also, I-TAC-induced Th1 and eotaxin-induced Th2 cell chemotaxis are blocked by PTX pretreatment. LPA but not S1P induces calcium flux response in Th1 and Th2 cells, which is due to the influx of extracellular calcium and is mediated by receptor activation, since EGTA and suramin (SUR) completely abrogate LPA-induced the release of calcium. No cross-desensitization is observed between thapsigargin (TG) and LPA in both cell types. PTX and SUR but not EGTA inhibit I-TAC- or eotaxin-induced [Ca(2+)](i) release in Th1 and Th2 cells. Our results indicate that lysophospholipids and chemokines stimulate different signal transduction pathways. 相似文献

Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is a potent mediator generated in immune tissues by cyclooxygenation of arachidonic acid. PGE2 affects T cell functions through four homologous G protein-coupled receptors termed EP1R, EP2R, EP3R, and EP4R that differ in tissue distribution and signaling. Antigen-evoked secretion of interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) by sperm whale myoglobin-specific Th1 cells of DBA/2 mouse I-Ed-restricted clones, that express EP3Rs and EP4Rs, was enhanced a maximum of 3-fold by 10(-10) to 10(-8) M PGE2 and 2.5-fold each for the EP1R/EP3R-directed agonist sulprostone (10(-8) and 10(-7) M) and for the EP4R/EP3R/EP2R agonist misoprostol (10(-9) M). Neither PGE2 nor the synthetic analogs affected secretion of IFN-gamma by PMA plus ionomycin-stimulated clones of Th1 cells. Antigen-evoked secretion of IFN-gamma by influenza hemagglutinin-specific mouse lymph node Th1 cells, that also express EP3Rs and EP4Rs, was increased a maximum of 12-fold by 10(-9) to 10(-8) M PGE2, 14-fold by 10(-9) M sulprostone, and 10-fold by 10(-9) M misoprostol. Production of IFN-gamma by either type of Th1 cell was not affected significantly by 10(-6) M PGE2 alone. The generation of IFN-gamma by antigen-stimulated Th1 cells thus is significantly enhanced by physiologically relevant concentrations of PGE2. 相似文献
