Stimulation via the CD3 and CD28 molecules induces responsiveness to IL-4 in CD4+CD29+CD45R- memory T lymphocytes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Although both IL-2 and IL-4 can promote the growth of activated T cells, IL-4 appears to selectively promote the growth of those helper/inducer and cytolytic T cells which have been activated via their CD3/TCR complex. The present study examines the participation of CD28 and certain other T cell-surface molecules in inducing T cell responsiveness to IL-4. Purified small high density T cells were cultured in the absence of accessory cells with various soluble anti-human T cell mAb with or without soluble anti-CD3 mAb and their responsiveness to IL-4 was studied. None of the soluble anti-T cell mAb alone was able to induce T cell proliferation in response to IL-4. A combination of soluble anti-CD3 with anti-CD28 mAb but not with mAb directed at the CD2, CD5, CD7, CD11a/CD18, or class I MHC molecules induced T cell proliferation in response to IL-4. Anti-CD2 and anti-CD5 mAb enhanced and anti-CD18 mAb inhibited this anti-CD3 + anti-CD28 mAb-induced T cell response to IL-4. In addition, anti-CD2 in combination with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 mAb induced modest levels of T cell proliferation even in the absence of exogenous cytokines. IL-1, IL-6, and TNF were each unable to replace either anti-CD3 or anti-CD28 mAb in the induction of T cell responsiveness to IL-4, but both IL-1 and TNF enhanced this response. The anti-CD3 + anti-CD28 mAb-induced response to IL-4 was exhibited only by cells within the CD4+CD29+CD45R- memory T subpopulation, and not by CD8+ or CD4+CD45R+ naive T cells. When individually cross-linked with goat anti-mouse IgG antibody immobilized on plastic surface, only anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 mAb were able to induce T cell proliferation. These results indicate that the CD3 and CD28 molecules play a crucial role in inducing T cell responsiveness to IL-4 and that the CD2, CD5, and CD11a/CD18 molecules influence this process. 相似文献

To investigate whether CD4+ T cells are predetermined to produce a given pattern of lymphokines, we have used a culture system that allows the controlled induction of either IL-2- or IL-4-producing CD4+ T cells. Single, freshly isolated murine CD4+ T cells were activated with Con A, rIL-2, and APC; the developing clones were split and then cultured for an additional 14 days with either rIL-2 alone or with rIL-2 and anti-CD3 stimulation. Subclones expanded in the presence of rIL-2 alone produced predominantly IL-2, although subclones derived from the same precursor and expanded in the presence of rIL-2 and a mitogenic antibody to CD3 released predominantly IL-4. Subclones expanded for 2 wk in the presence of rIL-2 plus a mitogenic mAb to CD3 released up to 60 times more IL-4 but only 1/90 the amount of IL-2 released by subclones derived from the same precursor cell and expanded with rIL-2. Both phenotypes can be derived from IL-2-producing precursor cells. These results demonstrate that IL-2-producing clones can be derived from the same cells as IL-4-producing clones and are most consistent with the view that the IL-2-producing Th1 or the IL-4-producing Th2 phenotype of a T cell clone is acquired during T cell differentiation and is not secondary to the expansion of distinct subpopulations that are predetermined to produce a specific cytokine pattern. 相似文献

Previous work has shown that CD4 engagement can promote the development of interleukin-4-producing cells from naive CD4+ T cells activated with anti-CD3 antibody and interleukin-2 in the absence of other exogenous signals, including interleukin-4 itself. When CD44low CD4+ T cells were activated with immobilized anti-CD3 antibody and interleukin-2, they proliferated and produced interferon-gamma but not interleukin-4. Co-immobilization of antibodies to CD3 and CD4 enhanced cell recoveries and induced interleukin-4 as well as interferon-gamma synthesis. Here we show that these effects of CD4 ligation were not observed when anti-CD4 antibody was replaced with another CD4 ligand, interleukin-16, or when the anti-CD3 and anti-CD4 antibodies were spatially separated by immobilization on different beads. Removal of the anti-CD4 antibodies within the first three days of stimulation also prevented the development of detectable interleukin-4-producing cells. The data suggest that interleukin-4-independent priming of interleukin-4-producing cells in this system requires sustained stimulation via both the T cell receptor and CD4 with close physical association between the ligands for these two receptors. 相似文献

IFN-gamma production by Th1 cells generated from naive CD4+ T cells exposed to norepinephrine 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
During activation in vivo, naive CD4(+) T cells are exposed to various endogenous ligands, such as cytokines and the neurotransmitter norepinephrine (NE). To determine whether NE affects naive T cell differentiation, we used naive CD4(+) T cells sort-purified from either BALB/c or DO11.10 TCR-transgenic mouse spleens and activated these cells with either anti-CD3/anti-CD28 mAbs or APC and OVA(323-329) peptide, respectively, under Th1-promoting conditions. RT-PCR and functional assays using selective adrenergic receptor (AR) subtype antagonists showed that naive CD4(+) T cells expressed only the beta 2AR subtype to bind NE and that stimulation of this receptor generated Th1 cells that produced 2- to 4-fold more IFN-gamma. This increase was due to more IFN-gamma produced per cell upon restimulation instead of more IFN-gamma-secreting cells, as determined by IFN-gamma-specific immunofluorescence and enzyme-linked immunospot. In contrast, Th1 cell differentiation was unaffected when naive T cells were exposed to NE and activated either in the presence of a neutralizing anti-IL-12 mAb or by APC from IL-12-deficient mice. Moreover, the addition of IL-12 to the IL-12-deficient APC cultures restored the ability of NE to increase Th1 differentiation. Taken together, these results indicate that a possible link may exist between the signaling pathways used by NE and IL-12 to increase naive CD4(+) T cell differentiation to a Th1 cell. 相似文献

CD4(+) T regulatory type 1 (Tr1) cells suppress Ag-specific immune responses in vitro and in vivo. Although IL-10 is critical for the differentiation of Tr1 cells, the effects of other cytokines on differentiation of naive T cells into Tr1 cells have not been investigated. Here we demonstrate that endogenous or exogenous IL-10 in combination with IFN-alpha, but not TGF-beta, induces naive CD4(+) T cells derived from cord blood to differentiate into Tr1 cells: IL-10(+)IFN-gamma(+)IL-2(-/low)IL-4(-). Naive CD4(+) T cells derived from peripheral blood require both exogenous IL-10 and IFN-alpha for Tr1 cell differentiation. The proliferative responses of the Tr1-containing lymphocyte populations, following activation with anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 mAbs, were reduced. Similarly, cultures containing Tr1 cells displayed reduced responses to alloantigens via a mechanism that was partially mediated by IL-10 and TGF-beta. More importantly, Tr1-containing populations strongly suppressed responses of naive T cells to alloantigens. Collectively, these results show that IFN-alpha strongly enhances IL-10-induced differentiation of functional Tr1 cells, which represents a first major step in establishing specific culture conditions to generate T regulatory cells for biological and biochemical analysis, and for cellular therapy to induce peripheral tolerance in humans. 相似文献

The primary effector cells of contact hypersensitivity (CHS) responses to dintrofluorobenzene (DNFB) are IFN-gamma-producing CD8(+) T cells, whereas CD4(+) T cells regulate the magnitude and duration of the response. The requirement for CD40-CD154 engagement during CD8(+) and CD4(+) T cell priming by hapten-presenting Langerhans cells (hpLC) is undefined and was tested in the current study. Similar CHS responses to DNFB were elicited in wild-type and CD154(-/-) animals. DNFB sensitization of CD154(-/-) mice primed IFN-gamma-producing CD8(+) T cells and IL-4-producing CD4(+) T cells. However, anti-CD154 mAb MR1 given during hapten sensitization inhibited hapten-specific CD8(+), but not CD4(+), T cell development and the CHS response to challenge. F(ab')(2) of MR1 failed to inhibit CD8(+) T cell development and the CHS response suggesting that the mechanism of inhibition is distinct from that of CD40-CD154 blockade. Furthermore, anti-CD154 mAb did not inhibit CD8(+) T cell development and CHS responses in mice depleted of CD4(+) T cells or in CD4(-/-) mice. During in vitro proliferation assays, hpLC from mice treated with anti-CD154 mAb during DNFB sensitization were less stimulatory for hapten-primed T cells than hpLC from either control mice or mice depleted of CD4(+) T cells before anti-CD154 mAb administration. These results demonstrate that development of IFN-gamma-producing CD8(+) T cells and the CHS response are not dependent on CD40-CD154 interactions. This study proposes a novel mechanism of anti-CD154 mAb-mediated inhibition of CD8(+) T cell development where anti-CD154 mAb acts indirectly through CD4(+) T cells to impair the ability of hpLC to prime CD8(+) T cells. 相似文献

Regulatory roles of IL-2 and IL-4 in H4/inducible costimulator expression on activated CD4+ T cells during Th cell development 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We found a tight correlation among the levels of H4/inducible costimulator (ICOS) expression, IL-4 production, and GATA-3 induction, using activated CD4(+) T cells obtained from six different murine strains. BALB/c-activated CD4(+) T cells expressed approximately 10-fold more H4/ICOS on their surfaces and produced approximately 10-fold more IL-4 upon restimulation than C57BL/6-activated CD4(+) T cells. BALB/c naive CD4(+) T cells were shown to produce much higher amounts of IL-2 and IL-4 upon primary stimulation than C57BL/6 naive CD4(+) T cells. Neutralization of IL-4 with mAbs in culture of BALB/c naive CD4(+) T cells strongly down-regulated both H4/ICOS expression on activated CD4(+) T cells and IL-4 production upon subsequent restimulation. Conversely, exogenous IL-4 added to the culture of BALB/c or C57BL/6 naive CD4(+) T cells up-regulated H4/ICOS expression and IL-4 production upon restimulation. In addition, retroviral expression of GATA-3 during the stimulation of naive CD4(+) T cells from C57BL/6 or IL-4(-/-) mice increased H4/ICOS expression on activated CD4(+) T cells. A similar effect of IL-2 in the primary culture of BALB/c naive CD4(+) T cells appeared to be mediated by IL-4, the production of which was regulated by IL-2. These data suggest that IL-4 induced by IL-2 is critical to the maintenance of high H4/ICOS expression on BALB/c-activated CD4(+) T cells. 相似文献

CD8+ T cells can be primed in vitro to produce IL-4. 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19

IL-4 production by T lymphocytes from naive mice in response to stimulation by plate-bound anti-CD3 is concentrated among CD4+ T cells. In vitro stimulation of lymph node T cells with anti-CD3 plus IL-2 and IL-4 strikingly increases the frequency of cells that produce IL-4 in response to subsequent stimulation with anti-CD3 plus IL-2. Separation of these primed cell populations into CD4+ and CD8+ T cell by cell sorting reveals that the frequency of IL-4-producing cells in both population is similar. Verification that CD8+ T cells produce IL-4 is provided by the capacity of anti-IL-4 mAb to inhibit the response of the indicator cell line to the growth factor produced by the primed cells and by detection of IL-4 by an IL-4-specific ELISA. The in vitro "priming" of CD8+ T cells to produce IL-4 is not dependent on the presence of CD4+ T cells because highly purified CD8+ T cells can be stimulated to develop into cells capable of producing IL-4 by culture with plate-bound anti-CD3 plus IL-2 and IL-4. 相似文献

During sensitization with dinitrofluorobenzene for contact hypersensitivity (CHS) responses, hapten-specific CD8(+) T cells develop into IFN-gamma-producing cells, and CD4(+) T cells develop into IL-4/IL-5-producing cells. Administration of IL-12 during sensitization skews CD4(+) T cell development to IFN-gamma-producing cells, resulting in exaggerated CHS responses. In the current report we tested the role of IL-12 on CD8(+) T cell development during sensitization and elicitation of CHS to dinitrofluorobenzene. Administration of IL-12 during hapten sensitization induced the expression of IL-12Rbeta2 on both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, augmented IFN-gamma production by these T cell populations, and increased the magnitude and duration of the CHS response to hapten challenge. CHS responses were virtually identical in wild-type and IL-12 p40(-/-) mice. Since engagement of CD40 on APC may stimulate IL-12 production, we also tested the role of CD40-CD154 interactions on the development of IFN-gamma-producing CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells following hapten sensitization. Development of IFN-gamma-producing CD4(+) T cells during hapten sensitization was absent in wild-type mice treated with anti-CD154 mAb or in CD154(-/-) mice. In contrast, the absence of CD40-CD154 signaling had little or no impact on the development of IFN-gamma-producing CD8(+) T cells. These results demonstrate that the development of hapten-specific Th1 effector CD4(+) T cells in CHS requires both CD40-CD154 interactions and IL-12, whereas the development of IFN-gamma-producing effector CD8(+) T cells can occur independently of these pathways. 相似文献

BALB/c IL-4Ralpha(-/-) mice, despite the absence of IL-4/IL-13 signaling and potent Th2 responses, remain highly susceptible to Leishmania major substain LV39 due exclusively to residual levels of IL-10. To address the contribution of CD4(+)CD25(+) T regulatory (Treg) cells to IL-10-mediated susceptibility, we depleted CD4(+)CD25(+) cells in vivo and reconstituted IL-4Ralpha x RAG2 recipients with purified CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells. Although anti-CD25 mAb treatment significantly decreased parasite numbers in IL-4Ralpha(-/-) mice, treatment with anti-IL-10R mAb virtually eliminated L. major parasites in both footpad and dermal infection sites. In addition, IL-4Ralpha x RAG2 mice reconstituted with CD4(+) cells depleted of CD25(+) Treg cells remained highly susceptible to infection. Analysis of L. major-infected BALB/c and IL-4Ralpha(-/-) inflammatory sites revealed that the majority of IL-10 was secreted by the CD4(+)Foxp3(-) population, with a fraction of IL-10 coming from CD4(+)Foxp3(+) Treg cells. All T cell IFN-gamma production was also derived from the CD4(+)Foxp3(-) population. Nevertheless, the IL-4Ralpha(-/-)-infected ear dermis, but not draining lymph nodes, consistently displayed 1.5- to 2-fold greater percentages of CD4(+)CD25(+) and CD4(+)Foxp3(+) Treg cells compared with the BALB/c-infected dermis. Thus, CD4(+)Foxp3(-) T cells are a major source of IL-10 that disrupts IFN-gamma activity in L. major-susceptible BALB/c mice. However, the increase in CD4(+)Foxp3(+) T cells within the IL-4Ralpha(-/-) dermis implies a possible IL-10-independent role for Treg cells within the infection site, and may indicate a novel immune escape mechanism used by L. major parasites in the absence of IL-4/IL-13 signaling. 相似文献

Murine CD4(+)CD25(+) T regulatory (Treg) cells were cocultured with CD4(+)CD25(-) Th cells and APCs or purified B cells and stimulated by anti-CD3 mAb. Replacement of APCs by B cells did not significantly affect the suppression of CD4(+)CD25(-) Th cells. When IL-4 was added to separate cell populations, this cytokine promoted CD4(+)CD25(-) Th and CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cell proliferation, whereas the suppressive competence of CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cells was preserved. Conversely, IL-4 added to coculture of APCs, CD4(+)CD25(-) Th cells, and CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cells inhibited the suppression of CD4(+)CD25(-) Th cells by favoring their survival through the induction of Bcl-2 expression. At variance, suppression was not affected by addition of IL-13, although this cytokine shares with IL-4 a receptor chain. When naive CD4(+)CD25(-) Th cells were replaced by Th1 and Th2 cells, cell proliferation of both subsets was equally suppressed, but suppression was less pronounced compared with that of CD4(+)CD25(-) Th cells. IL-4 production by Th2 cells was also inhibited. These results indicate that although CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cells inhibit IL-4 production, the addition of IL-4 counteracts CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg cell-mediated suppression by promoting CD4(+)CD25(-) Th cell survival and proliferation. 相似文献

Activated CD4+ T cells can be classified into distinct subsets; the most divergent among them may be considered to be the IL-2 and IFN-gamma-producing Th1 clones and the IL-4 and IL-5-producing Th2 clones. Because Th1 and Th2 clones can usually be detected only after several months of culture, we used conditions that modulate the IL-2 and IL-4 production in short term culture. Here we show that freshly isolated and subsequently in vitro-activated CD4+ T cells that were cultured for 11 days with rIL-2 and restimulated showed a IFN-gamma+ IL-2+ IL-3+ IL-4- IL-5- pattern. Because these cells were not capable of providing B cell help for IgG1, IgG2a, or IgE in an APC- and TCR-dependent T-B cell assay, they expressed a phenotype typical for most Th1 clones. In contrast, activated T cells that were cultured for 11 days with IL-2 plus a mAb to CD3 and then restimulated produced a IFN-gamma- IL-2- IL-3+ IL-4+ IL-5+ pattern. These cells were capable of providing B cell help for IgG1, IgG2a, and IgE synthesis and thus presented a phenotype typical for Th2 clones. Similar results were observed when mitogenic mAb to Thy-1.2 or to framework determinants of the alpha beta TCR were used. The induction of Th1- and Th2-like cells did not depend on the relative expression of CD44 or CD45 by the T cells before activation in vitro. Because the incubation of activated T cells with anti-CD3/TCR mAb induced high unrestricted lymphokine production, the latter might be responsible for the Th2-like lymphokine pattern observed after restimulation. To address this point, TCR V beta 8+ and V beta 8- T cell blasts were co-cultured in the presence of mAb to V beta 8. After restimulation, V beta 8+ cells had a IL-4high IL-2low phenotype and V beta 8- cells had a IL-4low IL-2high phenotype. This demonstrates that TCR ligation but not lymphokines alone are capable of inducing Th2-like cells, and this points out a central role for the TCR in the generation of T cell subsets. 相似文献

The functional capabilities of human peripheral blood CD3+CD4-CD8- and CD3+CD4+CD8+ T cell clones were examined. The clones were generated by culturing purified populations of CD3+CD4-CD8- and CD3+CD4+CD8+ T cells at limiting dilution (0.3 cell/well) in the presence of PHA, rIL-2, and irradiated PBMC as feeders. Twelve CD3+CD4-CD8- and 5 CD3+CD4+CD8+ clones were generated. Clonality was documented by analyzing TCR gamma- and beta-chain rearrangement patterns. All CD3+CD4-CD8- clones were stained by the TCR-delta 1 mAb that identifies a framework epitope of the TCR delta-chain, but not by mAb WT31 that identifies the TCR-alpha beta on mature T cells. In contrast, the CD3+CD4+CD8+ clones were all stained by WT31 and not by TCR-delta 1. All 17 clones were screened for various functional activities. Each secreted IL-2, IFN-gamma, and lymphotoxin/TNF-like factors when stimulated with immobilized mAb to CD3 (64.1), albeit in varying quantities. These clones secreted far less IL-2 and IFN-gamma than CD3+CD4+CD8- or CD3+CD4-CD8+ alpha beta expressing clones, but comparable amounts of lymphotoxin/TNF. All clones also functioned as MHC-unrestricted cytotoxic cells. This activity was comparable to that mediated by the CD3+CD4+CD8- or CD3+CD4-CD8+ alpha beta clones. Nine of 12 CD3+CD4-CD8- and 4 of 5 CD3+CD4+CD8+ clones were able to support B cell differentiation when activated by immobilized anti-CD3, but usually not as effectively as the CD3+CD4+CD8- or CD3+CD4-CD8+ alpha beta clones. The differences in the functional capabilities of the various clones could not be accounted for by alterations in the signaling capacity of the CD3 molecular complex as mAb to CD3 induced comparable increases in intracellular free calcium in each clone examined. When clones were stimulated with PWM, each suppressed B cell differentiation supported by mitomycin C-treated fresh CD4+ T lymphocytes. Suppression was dependent on the number of clone cells added to culture, but could be observed with as few as 12,500 cells per microtiter well. Phenotypic analysis of the clones revealed that all expressed CD29, CD11b, and the NKH1 surface Ag. These results demonstrate that the CD3+CD4-CD8- and CD3+CD4+CD8+ T cell clones exhibit many of the functional characteristics of mature T cells, although they produce IL-2 and IFN-gamma and provide help for B cell differentiation less effectively than CD3+CD4+CD8- and CD3+CD4-CD8+ alpha beta T cell clones. 相似文献

CD40 engagement enhances antigen-presenting langerhans cell priming of IFN-gamma-producing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells independently of IL-12 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
The delivery of CD40 signaling to APCs during T cell priming enhances many T cell-mediated immune responses. Although CD40 signaling up-regulates APC production of IL-12, the impact of this increased production on T cell priming is unclear. In this study an IL-12-independent T cell-mediated immune response, contact hypersensitivity (CHS), was used to further investigate the effect of CD40 ligation on the phenotypic development of Ag-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells. Normally, sensitization for CHS responses induces hapten-specific CD4(+) T cells producing type 2 cytokines and CD8(+) T cells producing IFN-gamma. Treatment of mice with agonist anti-CD40 mAb during sensitization with the hapten 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene resulted in CHS responses of increased magnitude and duration. These augmented responses in anti-CD40 Ab-treated mice correlated with increased numbers of hapten-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells producing IFN-gamma in the skin draining lymph nodes. Identical results were observed using IL-12(-/-) mice, indicating that CD40 ligation promotes CHS responses and development of IFN-gamma-producing CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells in the absence of IL-12. Engagement of CD40 on hapten-presenting Langerhans cells (hpLC) up-regulated the expression of both class I and class II MHC and promoted hpLC migration into the T cell priming site. These results indicate that hpLC stimulated by CD40 ligation use a mechanism distinct from increased IL-12 production to promote Ag-specific T cell development to IFN-gamma-producing cells. 相似文献

Both wild-type (WT) and IFN-gamma-deficient (IFN-gamma(-/-)) C57BL/6 mice can rapidly reject BALB/c cardiac allografts. When depleted of CD8(+) cells, both WT and IFN-gamma(-/-) mice rejected their allografts, indicating that these mice share a common CD4-mediated, CD8-independent mechanism of rejection. However, when depleted of CD4(+) cells, WT mice accepted their allografts, while IFN-gamma(-/-) recipients rapidly rejected them. Hence, IFN-gamma(-/-), but not WT mice developed an unusual CD8-mediated, CD4-independent, mechanism of allograft rejection. Allograft rejection in IFN-gamma(-/-) mice was associated with intragraft accumulation of IL-4-producing cells, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, and eosinophils. Furthermore, this form of rejection was resistant to treatment with anti-CD40 ligand (CD40L) mAb, which markedly prolonged graft survival in WT mice. T cell depletion studies verified that anti-CD40L treatment failed to prevent CD8-mediated allograft rejection in IFN-gamma(-/-) mice. However, anti-CD40L treatment did prevent CD4-mediated rejection in IFN-gamma(-/-) mice, although grafts were eventually rejected when CD8(+) T cells repopulated the periphery. The IL-4 production and eosinophil influx into the graft that occurred during CD8-mediated rejection were apparently epiphenomenal, since treatment with anti-IL-4 mAb blocked intragraft accumulation of eosinophils, but did not interfere with allograft rejection. These studies demonstrate that a novel, CD8-mediated mechanism of allograft rejection, which is resistant to experimental immunosuppression, can develop when IFN-gamma is limiting. An understanding of this mechanism is confounded by its association with Th2-like immune events, which contribute unique histopathologic features to the graft but are apparently unnecessary for the process of allograft rejection. 相似文献

Administration of anti-CD25 mAb before an aggressive murine breast tumor inoculation provoked effective antitumor immunity. Compared with CD4(+) T cells purified from anti-CD25 mAb-pretreated mice that did not reject tumor, CD4(+) T cells purified from anti-CD25 mAb-pretreated mice that rejected tumor stimulated by dendritic cells (DCs) produced more IFN-gamma and IL-2, and less IL-17 in vitro, and ignited protective antitumor immunity in vivo in an adoptive transfer model. Tumor Ag-loaded DCs activated naive CD8(+) T cells in the presence of these CD4(+) T cells in vitro. Tumor Ag and adoptively transferred CD4(+) T cells were both required for inducing a long-term tumor-specific IFN-gamma-producing cellular response and potent protective antitumor activity. Although adoptively transferred CD4(+) T cells ignited effective tumor-specific antitumor immunity in wild-type mice, they failed to do so in endogenous NK cell-depleted, Gr-1(+) cell-depleted, CD40(-/-), CD11c(+) DC-depleted, B cell(-/-), CD8(+) T cell-depleted, or IFN-gamma(-/-) mice. Collectively, the data suggest that adoptively transferred CD4(+) T cells orchestrate both endogenous innate and adaptive immunity to generate effective tumor-specific long-term protective antitumor immunity. The data also demonstrate the pivotal role of endogenous DCs in the tumor-specific protection ignited by adoptively transferred CD4(+) T cells. Thus, these findings highlight the importance of adoptively transferred CD4(+) T cells, as well as host immune components, in generating effective tumor-specific long-term antitumor activity. 相似文献

TL1A synergizes with IL-12 and IL-18 to enhance IFN-gamma production in human T cells and NK cells 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

TL1A, a recently described TNF-like cytokine that interacts with DR3, costimulates T cells and augments anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 IFN-gamma production. In the current study we show that TL1A or an agonistic anti-DR3 mAb synergize with IL-12/IL-18 to augment IFN-gamma production in human peripheral blood T cells and NK cells. TL1A also enhanced IFN-gamma production by IL-12/IL-18 stimulated CD56(+) T cells. When expressed as fold change, the synergistic effect of TL1A on cytokine-induced IFN-gamma production was more pronounced on CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells than on CD56(+) T cells or NK cells. Intracellular cytokine staining showed that TL1A significantly enhanced both the percentage and the mean fluorescence intensity of IFN-gamma-producing T cells in response to IL-12/IL-18. The combination of IL-12 and IL-18 markedly up-regulated DR3 expression in NK cells, whereas it had minimal effect in T cells. Our data suggest that TL1A/DR3 pathway plays an important role in the augmentation of cytokine-induced IFN-gamma production in T cells and that DR3 expression is differentially regulated by IL-12/IL-18 in T cells and NK 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

The TNF-like cytokine TL1A augments IFN-gamma production by anti-CD3 plus anti-CD28 and IL-12/IL-18-stimulated peripheral blood (PB) T cells. However, only a small subset of PB T cells respond to TL1A stimulation with IFN-gamma production. PB CCR9+ T cells represent a small subset of circulating T cells with mucosal T cell characteristics and a Th1/Tr1 cytokine profile. In the current study, we show that TL1A enhanced IFN-gamma production by TCR- or CD2/CD28-stimulated CCR9(+)CD4+ PB T cells. However, TL1A had the most pronounced effect on augmenting IFN-gamma production by IL-12/IL-18-primed CCR9(+)CD4+ PB T cells. TL1A enhanced both the percentage and the mean fluorescence intensity of IFN-gamma in CCR9(+)CD4+ T cells as assessed by intracellular cytokine staining. IL-12 plus IL-18 up-regulated DR3 expression in CCR9(+)CD4+ T cells but had negligible effect on CCR9(-)CD4+ T cells. CCR9(+)CD4+ T cells isolated from the small intestine showed a 37- to 105-fold enhancement of IFN-gamma production when TL1A was added to the IL-12/IL18 cytokine combination. Cell membrane-expressed TL1A was preferentially expressed in CCR9(+)CD4+ PB T cells, and a blocking anti-TL1A mAb inhibited IFN-gamma production by cytokine-primed CCR9(+)CD4+ T cells by approximately 50%. Our data show that the TL1A/DR3 pathway plays a dominant role in the ultimate level of cytokine-induced IFN-gamma production by CCR9+ mucosal and gut-homing PB T cells and could play an important role in Th1-mediated intestinal diseases, such as Crohn's disease, where increased expression of IL-12, IL-18, TL1A, and DR3 converge in the inflamed intestinal mucosa. 相似文献
