Alloantibodies substantially alter the in vitro nonspecific cytotoxic effect of macrophages on bystanding allogeneic and xenogeneic target cells. Although the specific IgM alloantibody increased significantly the ability to parental macrophages to damage target cells, IgG alloantibody had an opposite effect and suppressed the macrophage cytotoxicity. Macrophages of F1 hybrid mice were less affected by this treatment unless alloantibodies against both parental strains were added together. Parental macrophages exposed in vitro to the concomitant action of both IgM and IgG alloantibodies exhibited a diminished cytotoxicity toward target cells. It is proposed that IgM and IgG alloantibodies induce different conformational changes of the macrophage surface. 相似文献

Peritoneal cells (PEC) from mice injected ip with Corynebacterium parvum (CP) showed greatly enhanced suppressive activity on the growth of syngeneic tumor cells and on the generation of alloreactive cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) in vitro. On the other hand, CP-activated PEC exhibited increased immunostimulatory (accessory or A cell) activity as measured by the restoration of the CTL response of nonadherent spleen cells. After fractionation of the CP-activated PEC according to cell size by velocity sedimentation, the mutually antagonistic A cell and immunosuppressive activities were clearly separated and found to be associated with functionally distinct subpopulations of macrophages. Thus A cell function was detected in fractions rich in small and medium sized macrophages which were probably derived from recently arrived monocytes. Immunosuppressive (and anti-tumor) activity was associated with the largest macrophages which were almost devoid of A cell function and probably represented a highly activated and differentiated macrophage subpopulation. 相似文献

Activated macrophages mediate interferon-independent inhibition of herpes simplex virus 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
Activated macrophages exhibit extrinsic antiviral activity (inhibition of virus replication in other cells) which may involve mechanisms similar to macrophage antitumor activity or macrophage-mediated immunosuppression. Peritoneal macrophages elicited in mice by Corynebacterium parvum vaccine suppressed the growth of herpes simplex virus (HSV) in infected cells by an interferon-independent mechanism. This was demonstrated by expression of activity against HSV-infected xenogeneic (Vero) cells. Culture supernatant fluids also did not mediate antiviral activity, and did not contain detectable levels of interferon (< 3 IU/ml). Moreover, antiviral activity was not affected by the presence of anti-mouse interferon IgG. Antiviral activity was expressed at 12–16 hr after infection, at the end of the first cycle of virus replication. Cell contact was required for optimal activity. No enhanced adsorption or phagocytosis of HSV by C. parvum macrophages could be detected nor was macrophage cytotoxicity responsible for the activity. Cytotoxicity (51Cr release) by macrophages for virus infected cells was low (< 6% specific cytotoxicity), and was not significantly higher with C. parvum macrophages than with resident macrophage controls. Although C. parvum macrophages were not cytotoxic at the macrophage-host cell ratio employed, they did significantly inhibit uptake of [3H]leucine by the host Vero cells. This suggests that inhibition of host cell metabolism by the macrophage, similar to macrophage immunosuppression, may be responsible for the antiviral activity in this system. 相似文献

The effect of cytochalasin A and B, colchicine and vinblastine on tumor cell killing by macrophages activated in vitro with lymphocyte mediators was examined. Both cytochalasins reversibly inhibited the killing of tumor cells by activated macrophages. Kinetic studies with cytochalasin B suggested that this drug exerts its effect on an early step of the cytotoxic process. Additional studies revealed that the drug inhibited the binding of tumor cells by activated macrophages.Colchicine inhibited both the binding and the killing of tumor cells by activated macrophages, whereas its structural analogue, lumicolchicine, had no effect on either macrophage function.Vinblastine also inhibited the binding and killing of tumor cells. However, this drug no longer inhibited tumor cell binding at low concentrations (<10?6M) that still inhibited tumor cell killing. Further, vinblastine inhibited tumor cell killing when added late to an ongoing cytolytic reaction.These results suggest that the cytochalasins, colchicine and vinblastine inhibit macrophage mediated cytotoxicity by preventing intimate contact between the effector macrophages and their targets. In addition, vinblastine also appears to inhibit a later step of the cytolytic process, possibly the secretion of a cytotoxic macrophage product. 相似文献

The effects of various cAMP modifiers on the changes in the intracellular cAMP level and on the coupling of the cAMP system with realization of macrophage cytotoxicity depending on their functional activity were studied. Nonactivated and activated by E. coli polysaccharides peritoneal macrophages of BALB/c mice and macrophage-like cells of J744 mice were incubated in the presence of cAMP modifiers and further assayed for cytolytic and cytostatic activities. Cells of tetraploid strain of Ehrlich carcinoma G10 were used as target cells. Among other modifiers only dibutyryl-cAMP caused a steady increase of the intracellular nucleotide content, whereas methylisobutylxanthine and isoproterenol in combination with methylisobutylxanthine caused only a temporary increase of the cAMP level. Isoproterenol did not induce any appreciable changes in the intracellular cAMP level. All modifiers under study suppressed the cytotoxic activity of macrophages irrespective of the nature of changes in the intracellular cAMP content. It was assumed that cAMP accomplishes a triggering function in the regulation of the cytotoxic activity of macrophages and that the cAMP system is universal in the regulation of cytotoxicity at various functional states of macrophages. 相似文献

Legionella pneumophila Philadelphia-1 (Lp-1) can grow intracellularly in A/J mouse peritoneal macrophages (A/J Mφ). We previously reported that 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2dG), when added in macrophage culture media, inhibited the intracellular multiplication of Lp-1 in A/J Mφ. We found that 1mM of 2dG caused LC3-II-conversion that reflects an induction of autophagy and that 1 and 10mM of 2dG induced apoptosis associated with caspase-4 activation. We therefore investigated whether 2dG-induced autophagy or apoptosis suppresses the replication of Lp-1 in 2dG-treated A/J Mφ. When autophagy-related 5 (Atg5) was knocked down by RNA interference, the Atg5-siRNA-transfected cells revealed an enhanced replication of Lp-1 in A/J Mφ compared with the nontargetting siRNA-transfected cells. However, caspase-4 inhibitor did not affect the 2dG-induced inhibition of intracellular multiplication of Lp-1 in A/J Mφ. These findings suggested that autophagy, not apoptosis, suppressed the intracellular growth of Lp-1 in A/J Mφ when 1 or 10 mM of 2dG were added to the culture media. 相似文献

Suppressor macrophages (Mφ) which can inhibit mitogen-induced lymphocyte proliferation appeared in the spleens of mice bearing transplanted MC-A fibrosarcoma cells. An analysis of the ontogeny of such Mφ revealed additional suppressor activity directed against macrophage stem cells. Treatment of spleen cell suspensions with carbonyl iron followed by centrifugation removed suppressor Mφ but did not deplete Mφ-colony forming cells (M-CFC) which could be demonstrated in soft agar culture in L-cell conditioned medium (LCM). Untreated spleen cells had normal numbers of M-CFC; phagocyte-depleted mononuclear cells showed a threefold increase in M-CFC 14 days after subcutaneous inoculation of 106 MC-A cells per mouse. Further increases in M-CFC were also evident in similar preparations on Days 21 and 28 when the M-CFC concentration reached a maximum of eight times the normal level. The Mφ which developed from the M-CFC grown in the presence of LCM were later shown to have indomethacin-sensitive suppressor activity suggesting the mediation of this phenomenon by prostaglandins. These observations suggest that locally produced phagocytic suppressor Mφ from the spleens of tumorbearing mice play important roles not only as inhibitors of lymphocyte proliferation as reported earlier, but also as regulators of monocyte-Mφ production. 相似文献

Splenic suppressor macrophages induced in mice by injection of Corynebacterium parvum. 总被引:26,自引:0,他引:26
Spleen cells from C57BL/6N mice injected with killed Corynebacterium parvum (CP) had a marked growth inhibitory effect on the in vitro proliferation of RBL-5 murine lymphoma cells. It was most marked 12 to 14 days after injection and was usually no longer detectable later than 21 days. It could be demonstrated at effector cell to target ratios between 20:1 and 5:1 at which normal spleen cells had a growth-promoting effect. Addition of CP to an in vitro mixture of spleen cells and tumor cells augmented the inhibitory effect of spleen cells from CP-injected mice although it conferred no inhibitory potential on normal spleen cells. Growth inhibiton by CP spleen cells was not mediated by T cells and various depletion experiments suggested that the effector cells of the phenomenon were macrophages. Spleen cells of CP-injected mice also showed strongly depressed responses to the T cell mitogens PHA and Con A and suppressed the mitogen responses of syngeneic normal spleen cells. The characteristics of the suppressor cells mediating this effect appeared to be very similar to those inhibiting lymphoma cell growth. The responses to LPS were also strongly suppressed in mice injected with 2.1 mg of CP. However, after injection of one-tenth of the dose a relative sparing of the LPS response was noted, whereas the PHA response was still suppressed. 相似文献

Macrophages treated with 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a potent inflammatory and tumor-promoting agent, can have the diametrically opposed functions of contact-mediated tumor cytotoxicity and release of soluble clonal proliferation factor(s) for tumor cells. In vitro TPA treatment of macrophages at 1.0 ng/ml induced prostaglandin E2 release and morphological changes analogous to cell activation. In addition, conditioned medium from macrophages pulsed with TPA enhanced M109 carcinoma colony formation in vitro. Although macrophages were not rendered tumoricidal by TPA in vitro, cytotoxic macrophages were recovered from mice following ip treatment with TPA at 1–100 μg/kg. This indicated an indirect pathway for the activation of macrophages by TPA. The very weak tumor promoting 4-O-methyl-12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate lacked effects on macrophages at all doses tested. The possibility that macrophage secretions (e.g., prostaglandin E2, angiogenesis-stimulating factor(s), and clonal proliferation factor(s) for carcinogen-triggered cells) may be involved in the tumor promotion process is discussed. 相似文献

Two different mechanisms of murine macrophage (MP) antitumor activity are described in this report. C. parvum-activated peritoneal MPs were tested for cytotoxic and cytostatic activity 4 days after ip immunization. Cytotoxic activity could be distinguished from cytostatic activity using two different assay protocols. When MPs were separated by 1g velocity sedimentation, cytotoxic MPs were confined to high velocity fractions. In contrast, cytostatic MPs were found in cell fractions with velocities as low as 5.2 mm/hr. These two MP activities were also distinguishable by culturing at 37 degrees C for 24 hr. Cytotoxicity was abrogated when MPs were incubated in MEM, or MEM supplemented with lymphokine (LK) or indomethacin. In contrast, cytostasis remained at high levels when the cells were incubated with LK or indomethacin. Cytotoxicity was not retained after overnight culture even if LPS was present, or if various spleen or non-adherent peritoneal exudate cells were cocultured with the cytotoxic effector cells. Assays done to determine the presence of suppressor cells failed to find any inhibitory cell type. The phagocytic index, acid phosphatase activity, and H2O2 secretion were also measured before and after overnight culture. Acid phosphatase and phagocytic activities did not decline whereas H2O2 secretion declined significantly. These data indicate that in response to C. parvum, at least two different effector cell types with distinct antitumor activities are generated. Cytotoxicity, like the ability of cells to secrete H2O2, is found to be a short-lived function of CP stimulated MPs. In contrast, cytostasis is a function retained longer by MPs in culture. 相似文献

Salmonella spp. are cytotoxic for cultured macrophages 总被引:25,自引:2,他引:23
We have shown by a variety of microscopical and biochemical techniques that Salmonella spp. are cytotoxic for cultured J774A.1 and bone marrow-derived murine macrophages. The cytotoxicity is initially manifested by inhibition of membrane ruffling and macropinocytosis in infected macrophages, and is followed by cell death. Macrophages killed by Salmonella spp. exhibited features of apoptosis such as condensation and fragmentation of chromatin, membrane blebbing, and the presence of cytoplasmic nucleosomes and apoptotic bodies. Cytotoxicity does not require bacterial internalization as cytochalasin D, a drug that prevents bacterial uptake, did not prevent Salmonella -induced macrophage cell death. However, the cytotoxic effects are strictly dependent upon the expression of the invasion-associated Type III protein-secretion system encoded at centisome 63 of the Salmonella chromosome. Wild-type Salmonella typhimurium grown under conditions that do not allow optimal expression of this system or strains of Salmonella carrying mutations in genes that encode components of this protein-secretion system were devoid of macrophage cytotoxicity. In addition, mutations in invJ , spaO , sipB , sipC and sipD, which encode proteins that are secreted via this secretion apparatus and are required for bacterial entry into non-phagocytic cells, also abolished the toxicity. In contrast, mutations in sipA and sptP , which encode secreted proteins that are not required for bacterial invasion, had no effect on macrophage cytotoxicity. These results indicate a close correlation between the mechanisms of bacterial internalization into non-phagocytic cells and those that lead to macrophage cytotoxicity. Host-adapted serotypes of Salmonella such as S. typhi , S. gallinarum and S. dublin were also toxic for murine macrophages, indicating that this virulence property is probably present in most Salmonella spp. and is not associated with the mechanisms responsible for host range. 相似文献

Corynebacterium parvum, injected intravenously into C57B1/6 mice (H-2b) previously alloimmunized with P815 (H-2d) mastocytoma cells, generated splenic suppressor cells that inhibited the development of primary cytotoxic lymphocytes in vitro. These suppressor cells differed from those generated by intravenous C. parvum injection of naive C57B1/6 mice. The former suppressor cells were effectively induced by administration of 700 μg of C. parvum whereas the latter suppressor cells were dependent upon higher doses (1400 μg) of adjuvant for their activation. Furthermore, suppressor cells generated in alloimmunized mice could only suppress C57B1/6 anti-P815 in vitro cytotoxic responses whereas suppressor cells generated in naive mice could suppress C57B1/6 anti-CBA (H-2k) responses as well. Suppressor cells were not H-2 restricted in their action. Fractionation of spleens from alloimmunized, C. parvum-treated mice revealed the presence of suppressor T cells and suppressor macrophages. We were unable, however, to determine which cell was responsible for “antigen specificity” of suppression since the fractionation procedures seemed to trigger both suppressor cell types prior to adding them to the primary culture. 相似文献

The effect of macrophages on the induction of the cell-mediated cytotoxicity against a leukemia in a syngeneic system was investigated. The addition of exogenous peritoneal cells from normal C57BL/6 MIce enhanced the in vitro secondary cell-mediated cytotoxic response of both spleen and lymph node cells as responding cells against syngeneic FBL-3 leukemia. Peritoneal phagocytic macrophages seemed to be responsible for the enhancement. No inhibitory effect was demonstrated by the addition of peritoneal macrophages at a concentration as high as 20%, whereas the primary cytotoxic allograft response was significantly suppressed. In the present studies, there was no absolute restriction of macrophage-T cell interaction by an H-2 barrier. Supernatants of peritoneal macrophage cultures also enhanced this cell-mediated cytotoxic response. There was no difference between the effects of syngeneic or allogeneic peritoneal macrophage culture supernatants. 相似文献

Relationship between production and release of lymphocyte-activating factor (interleukin 1) by murine macrophages. 1. Effects of various agents 总被引:17,自引:0,他引:17
The relationship between the production and release of lymphocyte-activating factor (LAF, or interleukin 1) by cultured murine peritoneal macrophages (Mφ) was investigated. Unstimulated Mφ produce high levels of intracellular LAF within a few hours after culturing, but release little of this activity into their culture medium. Addition of various agents was found to increase significantly the production and release of LAF, with three different patterns: (a) Both intracellular and extracellular LAF activities were increased in response to latex beads, (b) A marked increase of intracellular LAF, with just a minimal elevation of extracellular activity, was stimulated by LPS. (c) Sharp increases in LAF release, with small increments of the intracellular activity, were induced by silica and glucocerebroside (GL1). Silica and GL1 damaged the cultured Mφ, as indicated by the increased release of lactate dehydrogenase. It is significant, therefore, that silica and GL1 increased both intracellular and extracellular LAF levels, suggesting that damage of Mφ may stimulate total LAF production. A combination of LPS with silica or GL1 acted synergistically on Mφ to release very high levels of LAF, which far exceeded those released by the individual agents. The agents were also tested on Mφ which were precultured, to deplete their LAF content. Latex, LPS, or silica increased LAF production and release by precultured Mφ, but the levels were lower than those obtained with freshly cultured Mφ. The results of this study thus show that the level of LAF release does not necessarily reflect the level of total LAF production by cultured Mφ and suggest that injurious agents may promote LAF production. 相似文献

Evidence for granulocyte-mediated macrophage activation after C. parvum immunization 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
It has been previously demonstrated that at the peak of the peritoneal response to Corynebacterium parvum (Day 4), cytolytic macrophages can be characterized by the presence of intracellular bacteria. In the present study, the role of neutrophils in the activation of peritoneal macrophages by C. parvum was investigated. Inflammatory neutrophils isolated 5 hr after ip administration of C. parvum were transferred to normal, syngeneic mice and the peritoneal macrophages of recipients harvested 4 days later were tested for cytoxicity against HeLa cells. Neutrophils isolated from mice 5 hr after C. parvum immunization were effective in inducing cytolytic macrophages. Less than 100-fold as much bacteria was needed to induce comparable levels of cytotoxic activity when introduced inside granulocytes. Neutrophils obtained from mice 48 hr after C. parvum injection or mononuclear cells were not good macrophage activators. Viable neutrophils were not required as freeze-thawed cells were able to activate macrophages in recipient mice. The intracellular distribution of C. parvum changed dramatically with time. Initially almost all bacteria were found within neutrophils. By 24 hr, many macrophages contained either bacteria or granulocytes which had ingested C. parvum. Pyridine extracts of C. parvum, which do not activate peritoneal macrophages when injected directly into mice, did not induce neutrophils capable of activating macrophages. The residue of pyridine-extracted C. parvum did induce neutrophils that could activate macrophages when transferred. The results suggest that processing of the bacteria by inflammatory granulocytes may be an obligatory step in macrophage activation by this agent. The peak response occurred earlier than T-cell immunity is usually observed and it is suggested that direct activation of macrophages via ingestion of neutrophils may represent the earliest stage of macrophage activation by C. parvum. 相似文献

To explore the responses of host cell after infection with live Salmonella compared with phagocytosis to dead bacteria, the responses of mouse macrophage after infection with Salmonella enteritidis C50041 and the fixed C50041 (C50041-d) were analyzed. Results indicated that the cytotoxicity induced by C50041 was stronger than C50041-d. Similar changing trends of mitochondrial membrane potential, intracellular concentration of calcium ions, reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide were found between C50041 and C50041-d infection. But the cell responses against C50041 were earlier and stronger than C50041-d. LC3 expression of macrophage induced by C50041 was lower than C50041-d. C50041 significantly inhibited the production of tumor necrosis factor and interleukin (IL)-6. Whereas intracellular caspase-1 activation and IL-1β release induced by C50041 were stronger than C50041-d, caspase-1 activation and IL-1β release are the innate defense responses of macrophage. Therefore, it will be beneficial to explore the use of this pathway in the control of Salmonella infection. 相似文献

Vaccinia virus-induced peritoneal exudate cells (PEC) in the hamster were characterized with regard to cell type(s), target specificity, and expression of the T cell antigen, Thy 1.2 homologue. Hamsters were immunized intraperitoneally with vaccinia virus and cytotoxicity was measured against 51Cr-labeled targets in a 16-hr assay. PEC collected 4 days after immunization were cytotoxic for both baby hamster kidney cells (BHK) and herpes virus-infected BHK (BHKHSV). Both the nonadherent (lymphocyte) and adherent macrophage (MP) fractions of PEC were cytotoxic. Treatment of cells with a monoclonal anti-murine Thy 1.2 antibody (alpha-Thy 1.2) known to detect a Thy 1.2 homologue on hamster T cells, removed all of the cytotoxicity in both PEC fractions, whereas, cytotoxic spleen cells from the same animals were resistant to antibody treatment. Similarly, the cytotoxic cells in PEC induced by bacillus Calmette-Guérin were exclusively of the Thy 1.2 homologue-positive phenotype. Target specificities of Thy 1.2+ PEC and Thy 1.2- spleen cells were similar as evidenced by comparable activity against hamster BHK and BHKHSV targets and murine SV3T3 and YAC-1 targets. Previous studies have attributed the cytotoxicity of the adherent PEC to MP. However, as determined by immunofluorescence and morphological studies, treatments that enriched for MP decreased cytotoxic activity, whereas, procedures that enriched for lymphocytes enhanced cytotoxic activity suggesting that all cytotoxicity in PEC is mediated by a non-specific Thy 1.2 homologue positive lymphocyte (Thy 1.2+ CL). Thus our data support the conclusion that intraperitoneal inoculation of hamsters with vaccinia induces two distinctly compartmentalized phenotypes with similar cytotoxic characteristics--the Thy 1.2+ CL and the Thy 1.2 homologue-negative natural killer cell (NK) or NK-like cell in the peritoneum and in the spleen, respectively. 相似文献

The effect of inhibitors of protein synthesis on the killing of tumor cells by in vitro activated macrophages was determined. Cytotoxicity was inhibited by concentrations of puromycin, pactamycin, and actinomycin D that almost completely inhibited protein synthesis by guinea pig macrophages, but not by concentrations of drug that inhibited protein synthesis by only ± 50%. Cytotoxicity was inhibited when the effector macrophages were pretreated with the metabolic inhibitors, but not when the drugs were added 30 to 60 min after the initiation of the reaction. Pretreatment with puromycin or pactamycin also markedly inhibited the binding of tumor cells by mediator activated macrophages. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that one possible mechanism by which inhibitors of protein synthesis inhibit macrophage mediated cytotoxicity is by inhibiting close contact between effector and target cells. The finding that pretreatment of activated macrophages with trypsin also inhibits tumor cell killing suggests that protein synthesis may be necessary to maintain an adequate number of “recognition structures” on the macrophage membrane, structures that mediate the initial contact between the activated macrophage and the target tumor. 相似文献

Summary DBA/2 mice were immunized i.p. against syngeneic SL2 lymphosarcoma cells. At various days after the last immunization peritoneal and spleen lymphocytes were collected. The lymphocyte suspensions were enriched for T-cells by nylon wool filtration.The peritoneal T-cells from immunized mice (a) expressed direct specific antitumor cytotoxicity in vitro, (b) induced macrophage cytotoxicity in vitro, and (c) exerted tumor neutralization measured in a Winn-type assay. Spleen T-cells from these immunized mice (a) expressed no direct specific antitumor cytotoxicity in vitro, (b) only induced moderate macrophage cytotoxicity in vitro, but (c) exerted tumor neutralization in a Winn assay.For effective tumor neutralization in vivo effector target cell ratios of 1000:1 were required. When the effector/target ratio of 1000:1 was maintained but the absolute numbers of effector and target cells were lowered from 106 to 105 lymphocytes and 103 to 102 target cells respectively, no tumor neutralization was obtained.The major effect of the sensitized-transferred T-lymphocytes seemed to be the induction of cytotoxic macrophages in the (naive) recipient mice, as the peritoneal macrophages collected from the recipient mice 7 days after i.p. injection of a mixture of sensitized T-cells and tumor cells were cytotoxic. Purified peritoneal T-lymphocytes collected from these recipient mice were able to induce macrophage cytotoxicity in vitro but expressed no cytotoxic T-cell activity.In conclusion, our results show that in the tumor system used, tumor neutralization after transfer of sensitized lymphocytes is not dependent on the presence of cytotoxic T-lymphocytes. Lymphocytes with the strongest potency to render macrophages cytotoxic (in vitro and in vivo) also induce the best tumor neutralization in vivo, suggesting an important role for host macrophages as antitumor effector cells. 相似文献
