CD8 T cells lacking effector activity have been recovered from lymphoid organs of mice and patients with progressing tumors. We explored the basis for lack of effector activity in tumor-bearing mice by evaluating Ag presentation and CD8 T cell function in lymphoid organs over the course of tumor outgrowth. Early after tumor injection, cross-presentation by bone marrow-derived APC was necessary for T cell activation, inducing proliferation and differentiation into IFN-gamma-producing, cytolytic effectors. At later stages of outgrowth, tumor metastasized to draining lymph nodes. Both cross- and direct presentation occurred, but T cell differentiation induced by either modality was incomplete (proliferation without cytokine production). T cells within tumor-infiltrated nodes differentiated appropriately if Ag was presented by activated, exogenous dendritic cells. Thus, activated T cells lacking effector function develop through incomplete differentiation in the lymph nodes of late-stage tumor-bearing mice, rather than through suppression of previously differentiated cells. 相似文献

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) specific for autologous human melanoma have been successfully generated in vitro from tumor bearing lymph nodes without any stimulation by the autologous tumor. Tumor-involved lymph node cells (LNC) were cultured in serum free medium (AIM-V) containing 1,000 U/ml of recombinant interleukin-2. The best expansion and specific cytotoxicity of CTL were achieved in 4 to 6 weeks of culture. The predominant populations in cultured LNC-derived CTL were CD2+, CD3+, CD4-, CD8+, CD56-, and HLA-DR+ T cells. These data suggested that tumor-involved LNC may provide an alternative source for the generation of tumor-specific CTL in adoptive immunotherapy. 相似文献

Activation of cytotoxic function in T lymphocytes. 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

The requirements for activation of cytotoxic function in mouse T lymphocytes were investigated. Initial generation of cytotoxicity in normal lymphocytes was equal in magnitude with either Con A or specific alloantigen, and in either case required DNA synthesis. Cytotoxic function in MLC-primed cells could also be regenerated by Con A, the magnitude and target specificity of the cytotoxicity thus generated being indistinguishable from that recalled by specific alloantigen. Cytotoxicity could also be regenerated by third party-stimulating cells; however, the cytotoxicity evoked by third party cells was always specific only for target cells of the original stimulating cell H-2 genotype. The data presented suggest that there are a number of ways to activate cytotoxicity in effector T cells, and are most consistent with a model for T cell triggering that minimizes a strict informational function of antigen-receptor interactions. 相似文献

Activation requirements for antigen- and mitogen-induced interferon-gamma release from cytotoxic T lymphocytes 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
J R Klein M S Pasternack M J Bevan 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1985,134(4):2456-2461
We have studied the activation signals that regulate interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) secretion from murine cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) upon binding mitogen or antigen. CTL clones were found to require at least 1 hr of stimulation with concanavalin A (Con A) in order to produce detectable levels of IFN-gamma. Full activation of IFN-gamma synthesis in CTL clones occurred after stimulation for 2 hr or more, and in those cultures CTL continued to produce high levels of IFN-gamma even after the effects of Con A had been neutralized. Splenic T cells and uncloned long-term CTL lines required a longer period of stimulation than cloned CTL for Con A-induced IFN-gamma secretion. The relationship between IFN-gamma secretion and cytotoxic activity was studied in an antigen-specific system. These studies reveal marked differences in the types of effector responses generated by CTL upon contact with antigen, demonstrating that some antigen-bearing cells promote high levels of IFN-gamma secretion and are poorly lysed by CTL, whereas other cell lines are lysed with high efficiency by CTL but induce low levels of IFN-gamma secretion. 相似文献

The number and nature of the "signals" required for lymphocyte activation have been so repetitively and academically discussed over the last 15 years that both the readers and the authors appear exhausted by such exercises. Yet, what may be considered to be the essential question, the basis for self-nonself discrimination, remains to be clarified. Since it has been established that clonal expansion and maturation to effector functions are brought about by polyclonally ("immunologically nonspecific") active factors, it is obvious that the crucial "step" in this context is the initial interaction of antigen with specific receptors of immunocompetent lymphocytes. This initial discriminatory event appears to proceed differently on the various cell subsets. We first deal with the mechanism of induction and growth of cytotoxic-T-lymphocyte precursors, and then discuss the inductive requirements leading to proliferation of T helper cells. 相似文献

Despite the combined use of surgery and chemoradiotherapy, the poor prognosis of advanced non-smallcell lung cancer (NSCLC) requires the definition of new therapeutic approaches. The presence of T lymphocytes, with peculiar phenotypic, functional and molecular characteristics within the tumour, suggested the possible use of these cells, expanded in vitro, in protocols of adoptive immunotherapy. We have described how a population of oligoclonal T lymphocytes, derived from advanced NSCLC, can be expanded in vitro and has the capability of lysing autologous cancer cells. What is more important, we observed that patients with advanced NSCLC, treated with TIL expanded in vitro and recombinant interleukin-2, seemed to have a disease-free period longer than that of patients treated with conventional chemoradiotherapy. in an attempt to find new sources of specific lymphocytes for immunotherapy, we describe the analysis of the phenotypic, functional and molecular characteristics of T lymphocytes, derived from lymph nodes draining advanced NSCLC. In this paper we show that these cells, have restriction patterns of T cell receptor chain similar to those detectable in the population of infiltrating T lymphocytes. This finding suggests that T cells derived from draining lymph nodes of advanced NSCLC have peculiar characteristics and can be a suitable source of effector cells for protocols of adoptive immunotherapy in lung cancer treatment. 相似文献

Adaptive immune responses are initiated when T cells encounter antigen on dendritic cells (DC) in T zones of secondary lymphoid organs. T zones contain a 3-dimensional scaffold of fibroblastic reticular cells (FRC) but currently it is unclear how FRC influence T cell activation. Here we report that FRC lines and ex vivo FRC inhibit T cell proliferation but not differentiation. FRC share this feature with fibroblasts from non-lymphoid tissues as well as mesenchymal stromal cells. We identified FRC as strong source of nitric oxide (NO) thereby directly dampening T cell expansion as well as reducing the T cell priming capacity of DC. The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) was up-regulated in a subset of FRC by both DC-signals as well as interferon-γ produced by primed CD8+ T cells. Importantly, iNOS expression was induced during viral infection in vivo in both LN FRC and DC. As a consequence, the primary T cell response was found to be exaggerated in Inos(-/-) mice. Our findings highlight that in addition to their established positive roles in T cell responses FRC and DC cooperate in a negative feedback loop to attenuate T cell expansion during acute inflammation. 相似文献

Tumor-induced CD11b+Gr-1+ myeloid cells suppress T cell sensitization in tumor-draining lymph nodes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Suppression of tumor-specific T cell sensitization is a predominant mechanism of tumor escape. To identify tumor-induced suppressor cells, we transferred spleen cells from mice bearing progressive MCA205 sarcoma into sublethally irradiated mice. These mice were then inoculated subdermally with tumor cells to stimulate T cell response in the tumor-draining lymph-node (TDLN). Tumor progression induced splenomegaly with a dramatic increase (22.1%) in CD11b(+)Gr-1(+) myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) compared with 2.6% of that in normal mice. Analyses of therapeutic effects by the adoptive immunotherapy revealed that the transfer of spleen cells from tumor-bearing mice severely inhibited the generation of tumor-immune T cells in the TDLN. We further identified MDSC to be the dominant suppressor cells. However, cells of identical phenotype from normal spleens lacked the suppressive effects. The suppression was independent of CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells. Intracellular IFN-gamma staining revealed that the transfer of MDSC resulted in a decrease in numbers of tumor-specific CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells. Transfer of MDSC from MCA207 tumor-bearing mice also suppressed the MCA205 immune response indicating a lack of immunologic specificity. Further analyses demonstrated that MDSC inhibited T cell activation that was triggered either by anti-CD3 mAb or by tumor cells. However, MDSC did not suppress the function of immune T cells in vivo at the effector phase. Our data provide the first evidence that the systemic transfer of MDSC inhibited and interfered with the sensitization of tumor-specific T cell responses in the TDLN. 相似文献

The output of both small T and B lymphocytes from individual stimulated lymph nodes decreases during the early stage of immune responses. Subsequently, the output of recirculating T and B lymphocytes increases above levels from unstimulated lymph nodes. The increased output of T cells appears earlier than the increased output of B cells indicating that B cells might require more time to migrate through an antigenically stimulated lymph node than T cells. 相似文献

Activation by anti-CD3 of tumor-draining lymph node cells for specific adoptive immunotherapy. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Lymph nodes draining progressive tumors contain tumor-sensitized but not functional preeffector T lymphocytes. These cells can acquire antitumor reactivity after stimulation with tumor cells and interleukin-2 (IL-2). We demonstrated here that, in the absence of tumor cells, preeffector cells could be stimulated and expanded by sequential culture with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody and IL-2. The adoptive transfer of such activated cells mediated immunologically specific reductions of established pulmonary metastases. The therapeutic effects could be enhanced by the administration of IL-2. This activation represents a secondary immune response because effector cells could be generated only from tumor-draining but not from normal or adjuvant-stimulated lymph nodes. Furthermore, treatment of advanced metastases with these cells resulted in prolongation of survival and cure of the disease. Thus, anti-CD3 may serve as a universal reagent for activating tumor-sensitized T lymphocytes for cancer therapy. 相似文献

Summary We report the development of cytotoxic T lymphocytes specific for an allogeneic brain tumor in a rat model. DA strain cytotoxic T cell precursors stimulated by an allogeneic tumor (9L gliosarcoma) from the Fischer rat could generate a population of cytotoxic T lymphocytes that lysed the allogeneic 9L tumor but failed to lyse other targets, including Fischer concanavalin-A(ConA)-stimulated lymphoid blast targets. DA T cells depleted of reactivity to the Fischer haplotype (DA-f) retained reactivity to the 9L tumor, demonstrating that T cell precursors with specificity for normal Fischer alloantigens were not required for the generation of a response to the 9L Fischer tumor. The preferential lysis of the tumor target did not simply reflect a higher density of Fischer target antigens on the tumor than that found on normal Fischer ConA blast targets. First, the relative densities of class I antigen on the 9L tumor and normal Fischer ConA blasts were comparable. Second, cytotoxic T cells could not be generated from DA-f precursors when Fischer ConA blasts were used as stimulators. If DA-f T cells were simply responding to the higher density of Fischer antigen found on 9L tumor, it would have been expected that the ConA blasts expressing comparable levels of antigen to that found on the tumor would have generated cytotoxicity for both the 9L and ConA targets. We conclude that the cytotoxic T cells are specific for a determinant expressed only by the tumor. Such tumor-specific cytotoxic T cells could be useful in vivo for adoptive immunotherapy of brain tumors. 相似文献

The entry of radiolabeled blood-borne T and B lymphocytes into resting popliteal lymph nodes and popliteal lymph nodes stimulated with semiallogeneic lymphocytes was investigated in rats. Thoracic duct lymphocytes separated into T- and B-lymphocyte populations on nylon-wool columns were radiolabeled with 51chromium and equal numbers of T or B lymphocytes were injected intravenously. While the ratio of T and B lymphocytes in the blood is approximately 3:1 it was found that the ratio of T to B lymphocytes migrating into lymph nodes was approximately 9 T to 1 B lymphocyte in both resting and antigenically stimulated lymph nodes. Since the ratio of T to B lymphocytes in thoracic duct lymph is similar to that of blood, there is a disparity between the number of T cells entering and leaving lymph nodes. These results suggest that some T lymphocytes may return to the blood directly and/or there is increased T lymphocyte death in lymph nodes. 相似文献

CTL specific for HIV have been described in lungs of infected patients at early stages of HIV disease. In order to characterize the evolution over time of HIV-specific CTL, we have analyzed the cytotoxic function and the cell surface phenotype of the alveolar lymphocytes from 41 patients at various stages of HIV disease. We demonstrated a progressive decline of alveolar anti-HIV CTL activity and detected Ts cells from the lungs of patients with advanced HIV disease. These alveolar T cells strongly suppressed the effector phase of anti-HIV CTL lysis. They lacked a marked specificity of function because they also block anti-HLA CTL response and were not restricted by the HLA-class-I transplantation Ag. They displayed the CD3, CD8, and HNK1 markers, were CD4 and CD16 negative, and lacked NK activity. The presence of Ts cells at late stages of HIV disease could thus partly explain the inefficiency of host defenses against HIV. 相似文献

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 13 patients with acute leukaemia were used to establish long-term interleukin-2-dependent cytotoxic T lymphocytes. Cells were grown in RPMI medium containing interleukin-2 (IL-2, 100 U/ml) and 2.5% conditioned medium prepared by activating normal lymphocytes with phytohaemagglutinin. Proliferation of IL-2-dependent CD3-positive lymphocytes was seen in 1 of 2 acute lymphocytic leukaemia cases (ALL), 1 of 4 acute myelogeneous leukaemia cases (AML) (M1) and 8 of 8 more differentiated AML. In 2 cases with detectable leukaemic cell markers (1 ALL and 1 AML) passageable cells were developed, that expressed normal T cell phenotypes (namely CD3, CD4, and CD8) at the expense of leukaemic cells. In 1 of 2 cases, long-term IL-2-cultured cells showed specific cytotoxic activity against autologous leukemic cells. The percentage killing against autologous and two allogeneic target cell lines at a 50/1 effector/target (E/T) ratio was 42%, 9% and 19% respectively. Similarly the cytotoxic activity of IL-2 activated from 4 different individuals against conventional tumour targets K562 and Daudi at a ratio of 50/1 was 29%–68% (median=55%) and 34%–78% (median=61%) respectively. It was also found that this killing potential of the activated cells was maintained for as long as culture was continued (median 23 days, range 17–75 days). The mechanism(s) of T cell proliferation at the expense of leukaemic blast cells in the case of a minority of leukaemic patients and the possible clinical therapeutic potential of these cells following in vitro IL-2 activation deserve further investigation. 相似文献

After total-body exposure to various doses of ionizing radiation, the ability of lymphocytes to interact specifically with high endothelial venules of rat cervical and mesenteric lymph nodes was analyzed in frozen sections. Following a radiation dose of 1.5 Gy, high endothelial venules remained intact and the binding of unirradiated lymphocytes to the venules was enhanced relative to unirradiated controls. At radiation doses above 5.0 Gy, damage to high endothelial venules was observed histologically as well as assessed functionally. There was a significant decrease in specific lymphocyte-venule binding and a significant increase in nonspecific binding. These findings suggest that radiation-induced damage to high endothelial venules might play a role in radiation-induced immunosuppression by interfering with the normal passage of lymphocytes from the blood into lymph nodes via a specific interaction between lymphocytes and high endothelial venules. 相似文献

Antigen receptor-triggered secretion of a trypsin-type esterase from cytotoxic T lymphocytes 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Exocytosis of cytolysin-containing granules from cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) was studied with the use of granule enzyme (BLT esterase) as a convenient biochemical marker. Using cloned CTL, we demonstrate here that BLT esterase secretion into the supernatant is specifically triggered by antigen-bearing target cells and that this secretion is inhibited by soluble monoclonal antibodies against the antigen-specific T cell receptor (TcR). Immobilized anti-receptor antibodies induced efficient enzyme secretion in the absence of target cells, thus implying a direct involvement of TcR complex in triggering exocytosis of granules. These results support the role of the granule exocytosis in CTL functions and provide a quantitative and direct assay of a rapid CTL functional response to antigenic stimulation. 相似文献
