Cloned murine Th having properties of either Th1 or Th2 cells as well as CD8+ CTL were tested for the capacity to lyse: 1) nucleated target cells bearing Ag or coated with anti-CD3 mAb, or 2) SRBC target cells coated with anti-CD3 mAb in a short term 51Cr-release assay. The lysis of SRBC occurs by a mechanism that does not involve nuclear degradation but presumably does involve membrane damage. Three patterns were observed: CTL and some Th2 cells lysed efficiently nucleated target cells and SRBC coated with anti-CD3 mAb. Th1 and some Th2 T cells lysed nucleated target cells but did not lyse efficiently the SRBC coated with anti-CD3 mAb. Finally, some Th2 cells failed to lyse efficiently either nucleated or SRBC targets. We also examined these clones for their expression of N-alpha-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysin thiobenzyl esterase activity, and for the expression of perforin or CTLA-1 (granzyme B) mRNA. Total N-alpha-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysin thiobenzyl esterase activity expressed by CTL and Th2 clones tended to be higher than that of Th1 cells. Perforin mRNA and CTLA-1 mRNA were readily detectable in CTL and some Th2 clones. Expression of perforin and CLTA-1 mRNA correlated well with the capacity of these clones to lyse SRBC coated with anti-CD3 mAb. Our results show that some but not all Th2 clones have lytic characteristics similar to those of CD8+ CTL. Two mechanisms appear to contribute to their lytic process, one mechanism of lysis involves membrane damage that correlates with the expression of perforin mRNA; a second mechanism involves the induction of DNA degradation in the target cells. In contrast, some CD4+ effector cells appear to lack the capacity to lyse efficiently via the mechanism involving membrane damage and may only have the lytic activity associated with the capacity to induce DNA degradation. 相似文献

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

Antibody reactive with the CD3 complex on the surface of T lymphocytes can either: inhibit CTL lysis of target cells expressing Ag; or redirect CTL to lyse target cells expressing FcR in the absence of Ag expression. To investigate these phenomena we examined the effect of anti-CD3 mAb on two indicators of CTL activation, the release of esterase and target cell lysis. Esterase release by long term allo-reactive human CTL in response to target cells (JY or HLA transfected K562 cells) was found to be Ag specific and correlate with target cell lysis. Addition of anti-CD3 to either JY targets or K562 cells expressing FcR resulted in a high level of esterase release. Triggering of esterase release was found with both soluble intact and Fab fragment of anti-CD3 in the absence of cells expressing measurable FcR. This apparent FcR-independent triggering of esterase release occurred at 37 degrees C but not at 24 degrees C. In contrast esterase activity was released from CTL at both 24 and 37 degrees C in response to intact target cells, JY or K562 cells plus intact anti-CD3 mAb. Addition of anti-CD3 mAb, at a level capable of blocking target cell lysis by greater than 50%, resulted in an initial velocity of esterase release almost twice that found in response to JY target cells. With a low level of anti-CD3 mAb, able to block JY lysis by approximately 10%, the initial rate of esterase release was much slower than that found in response to target cells. In contrast when FcR+ cells, K562, were added along with a low level of anti-CD3 the initial velocity of esterase release was about twofold more than the velocity of esterase release triggered by soluble anti-CD3 alone. These results indicate that soluble antibody can trigger long term active CTL and the velocity of this triggering correlates with anti-CD3-mediated inhibition as well as redirected lysis. 相似文献

Demonstration of a calcium influx in cytolytic T lymphocytes in response to target cell binding 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
By using the Ca2+-sensitive dye indo-1, an antigen-specific increase in intracellular Ca2+ in cloned cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) was measured under conditions that were permissive for T cell-mediated cytolysis. To synchronize lethal hit delivery in a suspension of effector and target cells, a modification of the cation pulse method in which Ca2+ is added to preformed conjugates of CTL and target cells was used. Conjugate formation was unaffected by the absence of extracellular Ca2+ under these conditions. Lytic activity of these cloned CTL was markedly reduced in the absence of extracellular Ca2+ and was restored upon Ca2+ repletion. When indo-1-loaded CTL were preincubated with target cells in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, a marked antigen-specific increase in indo-1 fluorescence, indicative of an increase in intracellular Ca2+, was observed after repletion of extracellular Ca2+. This increase in intracellular Ca2+ was shown to be due solely to changes in the CTL and not the target cell within the time course of the experiment, and results from the influx of extracellular Ca2+. Antibody to the T cell receptor for antigen also evokes a similar increase in intracellular Ca2+ in CTL under these conditions. This method provides a means for the direct examination of the response of CTL to cellular antigen as well as soluble antibody and is a versatile and valuable tool for the study of CTL function. 相似文献

The role of CD3 and CD8 Ag in CD16-mediated CTL triggering was studied in TCR-alpha beta+ and TCR-gamma delta+ granular lymphocytes (GL). In TCR-alpha beta+/CD3+4-8+16+ GL obtained from patients with GL-proliferative disorders, antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity was inhibited by anti-CD3 and anti-CD8 mAb. Anti-CD3 mAb also inhibited antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity activity of TCR-gamma delta+/CD3+4-8-16+ GL from a patient and that of TCR-gamma delta+/CD3+4-8+/-16+ T cell clones established from patients with proliferating TCR-gamma delta+ GL. In TCR-gamma delta+ T cell clones, cytotoxicity against Fc gamma R+ targets was induced by stimulation of CD16 Ag with anti-CD16 mAb, and such cytotoxicity was also inhibited by anti-CD3 mAb. These results indicate that CD3 and CD8 molecules play a regulatory role in CD16-mediated CTL triggering. 相似文献

Previous analyses of the inhibitory effects of anti-Lyt-2 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) on cytolytic activity suggested that Lyt-2/3 antigens expressed on the surface of murine cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) are involved in antigen recognition. In the present study, we investigated the effects of anti-Lyt-2 mAb (in the absence of complement) on the functional activities of H-2K/D-specific Lyt-2+ CTL clones that proliferate to antigenic stimulation in the absence of helper T cells or added interleukin 2 (IL 2) and secrete lymphokines. For those clones that were inhibited in cytolysis by anti-Lyt-2 mAb, a parallel inhibition of antigen-dependent proliferation and lymphokine secretion (interferon, macrophage-activating factor) was observed. Inhibition of proliferation or lymphokine secretion could be overcome by the addition of IL 2 or lectin, respectively. Collectively, these results would strongly suggest that anti-Lyt-2 mAb were inhibiting CTL antigen recognition. Not all CTL clones, however, were inhibited in cytolysis by anti-Lyt-2 mAb, in which case proliferation and lymphokine secretion were similarly unaffected. This heterogeneity of Lyt-2+ CTL clones in their susceptibility to inhibition of cytolytic activity, proliferation, and lymphokine secretion by anti-Lyt-2 mAb is discussed in the context of a model proposing that Lyt-2/3 molecules function to stabilize the interaction between CTL receptors and the corresponding target/stimulating cell antigens. Such a stabilization may be required by CTL possessing few and/or low affinity receptors. 相似文献

CD4 is involved in a post-binding event in the cytolytic reaction mediated by human CD4+ cytotoxic T lymphocyte clones 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

CTL lyse their target cells in discrete phases. First, the CTL bind to the target cell in a Mg2+-dependent manner followed by a Ca2+-dependent cytolytic phase. In the present study, we investigated the role of CD4 in the different phases of the cytolytic reaction mediated by human CD4+ class II MHC-specific CTL clones by using a single cell assay. It was found that the anti-CD4+ mAb OKT4A, which blocks cytotoxic reactions by CD4+ CTL clones as measured with a 51Cr release assay, only marginally affects the formation of conjugates. It appeared that OKT4A more strongly blocked the post-binding phase of the cytolytic reaction. In contrast, anti-leukocyte function-associated mAb strongly blocked the formation of conjugates but not the subsequent lytic phase. As was found previously with CD8+ CTL clones, anti-TCR mAb generally did not affect the formation of conjugates. One exception was noted. The activity of a CD4+ CTL clone, HY-640, could not be blocked by OKT4A, but was affected by an anti-TCR mAb. This anti-TCR mAb could partly reduce the formation of conjugates between HY-640 cells and their specific target cells. These results suggest that this clone has a high affinity TCR, which can contribute to the formation of conjugates. Although preincubation of the CTL clones with OKT4A only marginally affects the number of conjugates upon subsequent mixture with target cells, it was observed that incubation at 37 degrees C of preformed conjugates with OKT4A markedly reduced the number of conjugates. This dissociation of preformed conjugates was optimal only after 2 h of incubation. In contrast, an anti-leukocyte function-associated mAb induced a much more rapid dissociation of preformed conjugates. 相似文献

B cell stimulatory factor 1 (IL-4) enhances the development of cytotoxic T cells from Lyt-2+ resting murine T lymphocytes 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

B cell stimulatory factor 1 (BSF-1) (IL-4) was shown to synergize with phorbol esters or with monoclonal anti-TCR antibody in stimulation of the development of CTL from small resting murine T cells. IL-2 also synergized with PMA in such differentiation but was less effective than BSF-1. The combination of these two lymphokines with PMA had the most potent effect on the development of CTL. BSF-1 plus PMA stimulated a significant increase in the intracellular content of N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine thiobenzylester esterase, a granule-associated biochemical marker, whereas IL-2 plus PMA was only marginally effective. Depletion of L3T4+ cells did not result in the abrogation of these effects. Lyt-2+ T cells that were incubated for 72 h with BSF-1 plus PMA accumulated N-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine thiobenzylester esterase and secreted this intragranular marker after interaction with immobilized anti-T cell receptor mAb. These BSF-1/PMA-stimulated Lyt-2+, L3T4- T cells were also able to kill FcR positive target cells in a retargeting assay with a mAb to murine T3 Ag, providing evidence that BSF-1 plus PMA acted directly on precursors of cytotoxic T cells. 相似文献

The two competitive inhibitors of ADP-ribosylation, nicotinamide and 3-aminobenzamide, have been reported to interfere with TNF-induced cell apoptosis, and there is evidence that they inhibit killer-induced target cell lysis as well. There are very few drugs known to specifically interfere with target apoptosis induced by killer cells. We therefore sought to explore the effects these inhibitors have on CTL-mediated cell lysis. Here we show that TcR-mediated transmembrane signaling in CTL, measured by Ca2+ mobilization and generation of inositol phosphates, is inhibited by nicotinamide. The possibility that all cell functions are suppressed by the drug is excluded by the finding that constitutive secretion of BLT serine esterase is not inhibited, whereas stimulated secretion of this enzyme is suppressed. We also show that nicotinamide does not interfere with CTL target cell binding or reorientation of the Golgi apparatus toward the target binding site. It is concluded that nicotinamide inhibits transmembrane signaling in CTL and thereby interferes with delivery of the lethal hit to targets. 相似文献

TCR-gamma delta+ CTL clones were generated from CD4-CD8- T cells that were stimulated twice with the cell line JY. Either IL-2 or IL-4 was used as growth factor. A number of TCR-gamma delta+ clones were found to lyse the stimulator cell line JY. Two of these clones secreted N alpha-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine thiobenzyl ester serine esterase activity after stimulation with JY cells. The cytotoxic activity of these two clones was blocked by a mAb specific for HLA-A2. Moreover, these two TCR-gamma delta+ clones selectively lysed human fibroblast line M1 and murine P815 cells transfected with DNA fragments encoding HLA-A2 but not those transfected with HLA-B7 encoding DNA, indicating that these clones recognize HLA-A2. Analysis of the recognition of HLA-A2 by using target cells transfected with mutated HLA-A2 encoding genes revealed that the nature of the amino acid at position 152 of the molecule is critical for recognition of the TCR-alpha beta+ as well as the TCR-gamma delta+ CTL clones since replacement of Val for Ala at that position resulted in abrogation of recognition of one TCR-gamma delta+ and one TCR-alpha beta+ clone and substitution of Val for Glu affected recognition of all clones. Substitution of Leu for Trp at position 156 abrogated recognition by one TCR-gamma delta+ and one TCR-alpha beta+ T cell clone, but recognition by the other clones was not changed. All clones were able to secrete IL-2, IFN-gamma, and GM-CSF but not IL-4 after activation. 相似文献

In an attempt to understand the mechanisms of immunodeficiency induced by human T lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I), HSV-specific CD4+ human multifunctional T cell clones were infected with HTLV-I in vitro. Early after HTLV-I infection, when their growth was still IL-2-dependent, clones were found to have almost completely lost their cytotoxic activity. At that time, their HSV-Ag-induced proliferative response and helper function for anti-HSV antibody production by B cells were only partially impaired. After this initial phase, the HTLV-I-infected clone became IL-2-independent, and the helper function was also completely lost. IL-2-dependent HTLV-I-infected clones showed degrees of proliferative response and elevation of intracellular free Ca2+ concentration induced by anti-CD3 mAb equivalent to those of HTLV-I-uninfected clones. On the other hand, during the IL-2-independent stage, expression of CD3-TCR complex on the cell surface was markedly decreased, and no significant elevation of intracellular free Ca2+ concentration was detected in response to anti-CD3 mAb. These data indicated that the loss of cytotoxic activity of HSV-specific T cell clones observed early after HTLV-I infection was not the result of impaired antigen recognition via the CD3-TCR complex, but might be due to dysfunction in the effector phase. On the other hand, the dysfunction of helper activity found late after HTLV-I infection might have mainly occurred in the recognition phase due to the decreased expression of CD3-TCR complex. The present data appear to suggest certain aspects of the pathogenesis of the immunodeficiency occurring in HTLV-I infection. 相似文献

Human CD8+ T lymphocytes can be divided into CD45RA+ and CD45RO+ cells with different requirements for activation and differentiation. 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

The functional distinction between CD45RA+ and CD45RO+ cells within the human CD4+ T cell subset is well established. This study was undertaken to investigate whether a similar division can be made within the CD8+ T cell population. A quantitative comparison was made of the requirements for activation and differentiation of CD8+CD45RA+ and CD8+CD45RO+ cells. Stimulation of T lymphocytes with anti-CD3 mAb immobilized at high-density induced strong proliferation and CTL activity in both CD45RA+ and CD45RO+ cells. Suboptimal TCR/CD3 triggering, in contrast, induced substantially higher levels of proliferation and CTL activity in CD8+CD45RO+ cells compared with their CD45RA+ counterparts. Lymphokine secretion (i.e., Il-2 and TNF-alpha) was under any condition more readily induced in CD8+CD45RO+ cells. Markedly, proliferation of both CD8+CD45RA+ and CD8+CD45RO+ T cells initiated by anti-CD3 mAb immobilized at high densities was not inhibited by addition of anti-CD25 mAb, in contrast to proliferation induced by suboptimal anti-CD3 mAb concentrations. These findings show that a functional division between CD45RA+ and CD45RO+ T cells with distinct requirements for activation and differentiation may also be made in the CD8+ subset. 相似文献

The mechanism of lysis by in vivo-induced cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) was examined with virus-specific CTL from mice infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV). LCMV-induced T cells were shown to have greater than 10 times the serine esterase activity of T cells from normal mice, and high levels of serine esterase were located in the LCMV-induced CD8+ cell population. Serine esterase was also induced in purified T-cell preparations isolated from mice infected with other viruses (mouse hepatitis, Pichinde, and vaccinia). In contrast, the interferon inducer poly(I.C) only marginally enhanced serine esterase in T cells. Serine esterase activity was released from the LCMV-induced T cells upon incubation with syngeneic but not allogeneic LCMV-infected target cells. Both cytotoxicity and the release of serine esterase were calcium dependent. Serine esterase released from disrupted LCMV-induced T cells was in the form of the fast-sedimenting particles, suggesting its inclusion in granules. Competitive substrates for serine esterase blocked killing by LCMV-specific CTL, but serine esterase-containing granules isolated from LCMV-induced CTL, in contrast to granules isolated from a rat natural killer cell tumor line, did not display detectable hemolytic activity. Fragmentation of target cell DNA was observed during the lytic process mediated by LCMV-specific CTL, and the release of the DNA label [125I]iododeoxyuridine from target cells and the accompanying fragmentation of DNA also were calcium dependent. These data support the hypothesis that the mechanism of killing by in vivo-induced T cells involves a calcium-dependent secretion of serine esterase-containing granules and a target cell death by a process involving nuclear degradation and DNA fragmentation. 相似文献

TCR-mediated granule exocytosis, as measured by the release of serine esterase activity, has been implicated in the lytic process of Ag-specific CTL. Exocytosis appears to be the mechanism of release of other lysis-relevant molecules including cytotoxic lymphokines and proteins that have the capacity to induce membrane lesions as measured by the hemolysis of non-nucleated SRBC. In the studies presented here, we assessed the contribution of exocytosis and lymphokine production in CTL lysis of nucleated and non-nucleated target cells by using a panel of murine CTL clones. Ag-mediated activation of cytolysis, lymphokine production, and exocytosis could be mimicked by mAb against the TCR/CD3 complex, or by stimulation with the combination of PMA + calcium ionophore, which appear to bypass the TCR (neither PMA nor calcium ionophore alone induced these functions efficiently in our CD8+ CTL clones). Although lysis, IFN-gamma production and exocytosis of N-alpha-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysin esterase (BLTE) activity were induced by either stimulus, we were able to identify distinct activation requirements for each of these functions. We found that lymphokine production, exocytosis, and cytolysis could be selectively inhibited. Cycloheximide inhibited IFN-gamma production, but did not inhibit exocytosis of BLTE activity or cytolysis. In addition we showed that cyclosporine A (CsA) profoundly inhibited IFN-gamma production as well as exocytosis induced by stimulation through the Ag receptor or by PMA + calcium ionophore. In contrast, CsA had little or no effect on lysis of nucleated target cells that bear the relevant Ag. These findings indicate that our CTL clones can lyse target cells by a mechanism independent of exocytosis or (de novo) lymphokine production. To directly assess the capacity of our CTL clones to lyse target cells without inducing nuclear damage we developed a system of coating non-nucleated SRBC with anti-CD3 mAb for use as stimuli and as targets for lysis. We found that our cloned CTL were indeed activated to produce IFN-gamma by SRBC that were coated with anti-CD3 mAb, and, furthermore, they were able to lyse the SRBC in a short term cytolytic assay. Thus our CD8+ CTL are capable of lysing certain target cells by a mechanism independent of DNA degradation, presumably by inducing a membrane lesion. In addition, CsA did inhibit lysis of the non-nucleated SRBC targets as well as exocytosis of BLTE activity.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

We carried out a detailed analysis of the requirement for Ca2+ in the lysis of target cells by cloned cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). In direct, antigen-specific lysis we always observed an influx of Ca2+ into the CTL concomitant with target cell binding. However, we never observed an increase in CTL Ca2+ content during lectin-mediated lysis, or nonspecific lysis by phorbol myristate acetate-induced CTL. We found that in all three types of lysis (direct, lectin-mediated lysis, C or phorbol myristate acetate-induced) the requirement for Ca2+ in lysis was dictated by the target cell used; the same CTL can kill one target cell in the absence of detectable Ca2+, and absolutely require Ca2+ for the lysis of another target cell. Target cell killing, when it occurred in the absence of Ca2+, was accompanied by microtubule organizing center reorientation in the CTL, showing that this function is not uniformly Ca2+ dependent. These results provide further evidence that Ca2+ is not always required for activation of the lytic pathway in CTL, although Ca2+ may be absolutely required for other CTL functions such as interleukin production or expression of the interleukin 2 receptor. 相似文献

Accessory molecules present on the cell surface of cytolytic T lymphocytes (CTL) play an important role in their activation. Antigen-specific recognition by CTL is inhibited by antibodies against Lyt-2, L3T4, or LFA-1 molecules. Presently it is not known whether these molecules function by binding a ligand such as class I or class II on the target cell or by delivering a signal that down-regulates T cell activation. In the present study we utilized anti-T cell antibodies including anti-T3 and anti-T cell receptor (alpha/beta) as well as an anti-Ly-6.2C monoclonal antibody to activate CTL clones to kill irrelevant targets or secrete BLT esterase. The redirected lysis assay system utilizes the fact that heteroconjugates between anti-T3, and anti-T cell receptor, or anti-Ly-6.2C and anti-trinitrophenyl can trigger CTL lysis of trinitrophenyl-coupled targets that did not express antigen. In this system anti-Lyt-2 antibodies as well as anti-LFA-1 antibodies inhibited triggering via T cell receptor-related molecules but not via the anti-Ly-6.2C heteroconjugate. In addition, the anti-Lyt-2 was shown to inhibit conjugate formation in the heteroaggregate assay system suggesting that the anti-Lyt-2 antibodies acted early in inhibiting CTL activity. Similar results were observed in a system in which the CTL clones were triggered to secrete a BLT-esterase-like activity in the absence of target cells. Anti-T3 coated on plastic was shown to activate BLT-esterase secretion. This secretion was inhibited by anti-Lyt-2 and anti-LFA-1. Thus, it would appear that both the Lyt-2 molecule and the LFA-1 molecule act as signal-transducing elements involved in CTL activation. In particular, the Lyt-2 molecule appears to preferentially function in receptor-mediated T cell activation. 相似文献

B cell stimulatory factor-2 is involved in the differentiation of cytotoxic T lymphocytes 总被引:35,自引:0,他引:35

The induction of cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) from precursor T cells requires both antigen and lymphokine signals. Previous work from our laboratory has indicated that three lymphokines are required for the induction of CTL from murine thymocytes; interleukin 2, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), and a partially characterized factor referred to as cytotoxic differentiation factor (CDF). While attempting to clone CDF from the human T cell line C10-MJ2, we found that a gene encoding CDF-like activity is identical to the gene encoding the factor known variously as B cell stimulatory factor-2 (BSF-2), IFN-beta 2, and 26-kDa protein. We report here that BSF-2 can induce the differentiation of Ly-2+ CTL from murine thymocytes in the presence of interleukin 2 and that the level of cytotoxicity is augmented by the addition of murine IFN-gamma. Serine esterase, a marker for cytotoxic granules in CTL, was induced only in the presence of BSF-2, and the level of serine esterase activity correlated with the level of serine esterase activity correlated with the level of cytotoxicity. These data suggest that BSF-2 is a differentiation factor for CTL and that it functions in part by inducing proteins required for mediating target cell lysis. 相似文献

Biochemical and functional properties of serine esterases in acidic cytoplasmic granules of cytotoxic T lymphocytes 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

Percoll gradient fractions of homogenates of murine cloned cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) were analyzed for the trypsin-like enzyme alpha-N-benzyloxy-carbonyl-L-lysinethiobenzyl ester (BLT) esterase recently described in CTL homogenates. Enzymatic activity was found in three areas of the gradient: the dense cytolysin containing granules; a light granule fraction; and a variable amount in the soluble fraction at the top of the gradient. Gel filtration columns showed a major peak of BLT esterase activity eluted at the position of a 60-kDa protein, and an additional, minor BLT esterase peak eluting at about 27 kDa. The separated enzymes were both significantly inhibited by the serine protease inhibitors diisopropylfluorophosphate and phenylmethyl sulfonyl fluoride (PMSF), indicating they are both serine proteases, but showed different patterns of inhibition by a series of inhibitors, suggesting the larger enzyme is not a simple dimer of the smaller. pH activity profiles of both CTL BLT esterases showed an optimum at about pH 8. PMSF inactivation of BLT esterase in detergent extracts of CTL diminished sharply as the pH was dropped below 7. Agents which raise the pH of acidic intracellular compartments were found to markedly enhance the PMSF inactivation of BLT esterase in intact CTL, showing that the granules have a low internal pH. Similarly, [3H]diisopropylfluorophosphate labeling of intact CTL gave four protein bands on non-reduced gels, of which two were labeled threefold more effectively in the presence of chloroquine. In parallel studies of inactivation of CTL lytic activity, PMSF pretreatment caused a 50% reduction of the lytic activity under conditions where greater than 90% of the BLT esterase activity was inactivated. Addition of agents raising the intragranular pH dramatically enhanced the BLT esterase inactivation but did not concomitantly reduce CTL lytic activity. These results indicate that inactivation of lytic function by PMSF is unlikely to be due to its reaction with protease in acidic granules, and suggest that the activity of these enzymes may not be required for cytotoxicity. 相似文献

Human peripheral blood CD8+ T cells constitutively express a low level of IL-2-R beta chains which were shown in this study to be preferentially carried by the CD45R0+ subset. Such receptors can transduce signals for in vitro IL-2-induced cytolytic function and for the initiation of soluble anti-CD3 and IL-2-induced cell proliferation. Using these stimulation models, a comparison was made between the responsiveness of resting, small CD45R0+ and CD45RA+ subpopulations of CD8+ T cells, both of them being isolated by negative selection and rigorously depleted of monocytes and of IL-2-inducible non-MHC-restricted CTL. Strong proliferation was induced in CD8+/CD45R0+ cells in response to IL-2 and soluble anti-CD3 (each of these stimuli being by itself ineffective), while in contrast, CD8+/CD45RA+ cells manifested, in this system, little reactivity. Accordingly, no conversion to the CD45R0 phenotype occurred in single stained CD45RA+ T cells following their incubation with the stimuli. A similar restriction of reactivity to CD8+/CD45R0+ T cells was observed with respect to IL-2-induced targetable T cell cytotoxicity. The CTL activity induced by IL-2 alone occurred without cell division. In contrast, the additional increase in CTL activity occurring upon the synergistic actions of anti-CD3 mAb and IL-2 coincided with intense cell proliferation, with no generation of LAK activity. The inhibition exerted by anti-IL-2-R beta mAb in the cytolytic and the proliferative activities induced by these stimuli in resting CD8+/CD45R0+ T cells emphasizes the importance of constitutive IL-2-R beta chains in the biology of these cells. 相似文献

The requirements for activation of the lytic machinery through CD2 of TCR gamma delta+/CD3+ cells were examined, by utilizing bispecific heteroconjugates containing anti-CD2 mAb cross-linked to anti-DNP. Contrary to the CD2 activation requirements in TCR alpha beta+/CD3+ cells, cytotoxic activity in TCR gamma delta+/CD3+ clones and TCR-/CD3- NK cell clones can be induced by heteroconjugates containing a single anti-CD2 (OKT11.1) mAb. Activation of TCR gamma delta+/CD3+ cells via CD2 is independent of heteroconjugates binding to CD16 (Fc gamma RIII), because heteroconjugates prepared from Fab fragments induced equal levels of lysis. Moreover, anti-CD16 mAb did not inhibit triggering via CD2 in TCR gamma delta+/CD3+ cells. In TCR-/CD3- NK cells, however, induction of cytotoxicity via CD2 is co-dependent on interplay with CD16. Anti-CD3 mAb blocked the anti-CD2 x anti-DNP heteroconjugate-induced cytotoxicity of TCR gamma delta+/CD3+ cells, indicating a functional linkage between CD2 and CD3 on these cells. We conclude that induction of lysis via CD2 shows qualitatively different activation requirements in TCR gamma delta+/CD3+, TCR alpha beta+/CD3+ CTL and TCR-/CD3- NK cells. 相似文献
