Our research thus far has concerned the impact of external electromagnetic fields (50 Hz) and low (0.01-10 mT) induction on adherence capabilities of T lymphocytes obtained from the blood of patients with head and neck tumors. We know that the in vitro adherence capability of T lymphocytes towards surfaces in cancer patients is less than that of control. Previously, we have found that exposure to electromagnetic fields (50 Hz/0.01-10 mT) increases the capability of T lymphocytes, in larynx/pharynx cancer patients, to adhere in vitro to surfaces, achieving almost physiological values, in not only pre-treatment patients but also those receiving treatment in the course of follow-up. The capability of T lymphocytes in controls (voluntary blood donors) to adhere to surfaces was also increased (50 Hz/0.01-0.5 mT). The present study concentrates on the significance of the level of electromagnetic field induction in order to determine whether low induction values can restore T lymphocytes adherence capabilities. Testing a subset of 20 patients showed a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) in the in vitro adherence capacity of T lymphocytes between both 0.01 and 0.05, and 0.1 mT induction levels. In the control group (patients diagnosed with chronic sensorineural hearing loss) there was even a statistically significant difference between induction values of 0.05 and 0.01 mT. A statistically significant difference (p<0.05) was also achieved with induction levels of 1 and 10 mT compared to 0.5, 0.1, and 0.05 mT, respectively. Therefore, we concluded that lower induction values resulted in a more biologically significant response.  相似文献

Exposure of T lymphocytes to an external 50 Hz and 0.5 mT magnetic field was investigated in vitro using leukocyte adherence inhibition (LAI) assay which is a measure of cell-mediated immunity. Adherence of T lymphocytes taken from healthy humans and from cancer patients before and after medical treatment is enhanced after 1 h exposure to the magnetic field. The experimental findings for the magnetic field 0.5 mT are compared with published data for 1 and 10 mT. The results are consistent with suggestions of magnetic field effects on immune function in humans.  相似文献

Immunity to tumors as well as to viral and bacterial pathogens is often mediated by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs). Thus, the ability to induce a strong cell-mediated immune response is an important requirement of novel immunotherapies. Antigen-presenting cells (APCs), including dendritic cells (DCs), are specialized in initiating T-cell immunity. Harnessing this innate ability of these cells to acquire and present antigens, we sought to improve antigen presentation by targeting antigens directly to DCs in vivo through apoptosis. We engineered Fas-mediated apoptotic death of antigen-bearing cells in vivo by co-expressing the immunogen and Fas in the same cell. We then observed that the death of antigen-bearing cells results in increased antigen acquisition by APCs including DCs. This in vivo strategy led to enhanced antigen-specific CTLs, and the elaboration of T helper-1 (Th1) type cytokines and chemokines. This adjuvant approach has important implications for viral and nonviral delivery strategies for vaccines or gene therapies.  相似文献

The accumulation of mononuclear cells at sites of chronic inflammation is dependent on a number of factors including localized adherence of lymphocytes to vascular endothelial cells (EC), cytokine-mediated increased adhesiveness of endothelium, chemotactic factors and endothelial permeability. The present study investigates two of the above attributes of lymphocyte-EC interaction: namely, the ability of maturationally distinct subpopulations of human T lymphocytes to adhere to vascular EC and to increase vascular endothelial permeability to macromolecules in an in vitro model. Thus, human T lymphocytes were separated into CD4+ CD8-helper/inducer, CD4- CD8+ cytotoxic/suppressor, CD29+ CD45RA- CD45RO+ memory, and CD29- CD45RA+ CD45RO- naive/virgin T subpopulations, were activated with PHA and PMA, and then examined for their adherence to EC and also for their effect on endothelial permeability. Upon activation, cells within each of the above four subpopulations exhibited increased adherence to EC. In contrast, resting CD29+ CD45RA- CD45RO+ memory T lymphocytes exhibited two to three times greater ability to adhere to EC than their CD29- CD45RA+ CD45RO- naive/virgin counterparts. Consistent with their increased adherence to EC, CD29+ CD45RO+ memory T lymphocytes, when activated, significantly increased endothelial permeability to albumin. Although activated CD45RA+ naive T lymphocytes exhibited increased adherence to EC, these cells failed to increase significantly endothelial permeability. Similar to their polyclonal counterparts, Ag-specific CD4+ CD29+ CD45RO+ T cell clones, but not their actively released mediators, also increased endothelial permeability via a noncytolytic mechanism(s). This ability of CD29+ CD45RO+ memory T lymphocytes to augment endothelial permeability may facilitate their transendothelial migration into extravascular space. These observations may provide additional insights into molecular mechanism(s) underlying pathophysiology of localized chronic inflammatory responses in general and more specifically selective accumulation of CD29+/CD45RO+ memory T lymphocytes at sites of chronic inflammation such as rheumatoid synovium.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate zeta chain and Zap 70 expression in T lymphocytes of patients with laryngeal cancer in relation to surgical treatment. STUDY DESIGN: This study investigated, by dual-color flow cytometry, zeta chain and Zap 70 expression in the circulating T lymphocytes of 13 patients with laryngeal cancer patients before and after surgical treatment. RESULTS: Patients exhibited a significant lower expression of both zeta chain and Zap 70 compared to healthy normal controls; no statistical differences were observed after surgical treatment. CONCLUSION: The results of this investigation seem to indicate that both the zeta chain and the Zap 70 expression in circulating T lymphocytes are down-regulated in patients with laryngeal cancer and that these changes do not immediately return to normal after surgery. Flow cytometry analysis may represent an easy-to-use procedure for monitoring the immune status of patients with laryngeal cancer.  相似文献

ObjectivesHIV viral load is recommended for monitoring antiretroviral treatment and identifying treatment failure. We assessed the durability of viral suppression after viral load-triggered adherence counseling among patients with HIV viremia 6 months after ART initiation.DesignObservational cohort enrolled in an antiretroviral treatment program in rural Uganda.MethodsParticipants who underwent routine viral load determination every 24 weeks and had at least 48 weeks of follow-up were included in this analysis. Patients with viral loads >400 copies/ml at 24 weeks of treatment were given additional adherence counseling, and all patients were followed to assess the duration of viral suppression and development of virologic failure.Results1,841 participants initiating antiretroviral therapy were enrolled in the Rakai Health Sciences Program between June 2005 and June 2011 and were followed with viral load monitoring every 24 weeks. 148 (8%) of patients did not achieve viral suppression at 24 weeks and were given additional adherence counseling. 85 (60%) of these patients had undetectable viral loads at 48 weeks, with a median duration of viral suppression of 240 weeks (IQR 193-288 weeks). Failure to achieve an undetectable viral load at 48 weeks was associated with age <30 years and 24 week viral load >2,000 copies/ml in multivariate logistic regression analysis.ConclusionsThe majority of patients with persistent viremia who were provided adherence counseling achieved robust viral suppression for a median 4.6 years. Access to virologic monitoring and adherence counseling is a priority in resource-limited settings.  相似文献

The ability of B cells, B blasts, and macrophages to present Epstein-Barr virion antigens to autologous T cells and trigger their capacity to inhibit Epstein-Barr virus-induced B-cell transformation was tested. Macrophages were as efficient as B cells and B blasts in presenting the virus to T lymphocytes. This function required antigen processing, because it was inhibited by chloroquine treatment and by fixation of the antigen-presenting cells immediately after viral exposure but not 18 h later. T cells exposed to the purified Epstein-Barr virus envelope antigen gp350 coupled to immunostimulating complexes also showed inhibitory function. These results suggest that recognition of processed virion antigens elicits the generation of T-cell-mediated inhibition of Epstein-Barr virus-induced B-cell transformation.  相似文献

Streptococcal mitogen (SM), an extracellular product of group A streptococci, is non specifically mitogenic for both B and T lymphocytes. The mitogenic activity of SM is resistant to digestion with trypsin, to heating at 100 °C for 5 min, and to treatment with dithiothreitol. The proliferative response of lymphocytes from patients with a history of rheumatic fever is similar to that of lymphocytes from healthy donors when stimulated with optimal concentrations of SM, but is significantly reduced when low doses of SM are used. T lymphocytes stimulated with SM acquire Ia antigens and the ability to stimulate allogeneic and autologous lymphocytes in mixed lymphocyte reactions. An involvement of Ia antigens in these reactions is indicated by the specific block by monoclonal antibodies to human Ia antigens.  相似文献

One of the most important challenges in contemporary oncology is to find objective biomarkers of tumor aggressiveness, which help to identify more invasive phenotypes of the carcinoma. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between the early and the late activation markers expression on T CD4(+) and CD8(+) cells subpopulations and certain clinicopathological characteristics of the neoplastic infiltration in order to determine their role as biomarkers for tumor behavior in squamous cell laryngeal carcinoma. Analysis of the early (CD69(+), CD71(+)) and the late activation antigens (CD25(+) (high), CD26(+), HLA/DR(+)) expression on T CD4+ and CD8(+) lymphocytes by cytofluorymetry in 55 patients treated for squamous cell laryngeal carcinoma was performed. Clinicomorphological analysis on the basis of TNM criteria and tumor front grading, which included tumor-related features and adjacent stroma-related characteristics of the peripheral edge of infiltration was carried out. The relationships between the activation markers expression and parameters of tumor aggressiveness were investigated. Our work revealed statistically significant differences in the expression of the studied activation markers on T cells with regard to certain clinicomorphological features. The expressions of CD69(+) and CD71(+) antigens on T CD3(+)CD4(+) and CD3(+)CD8(+) cells as well as CD4(+)HLA/DR(+) markers were higher for pT3 and pT4 tumors, in comparison with pT2 carcinomas. Moreover, tumors with the smallest number of TFG points were characterized by significantly lower values of the average expression of CD3(+)CD69(+) and CD3(+)CD71(+) as well as CD4(+)HLA/DR(+) markers on T lymphocytes. In addition, more aggressive and deeply infiltrating laryngeal carcinomas were most often characterized by significantly higher values of the average expression of CD69(+) and CD71(+) antigens on CD8(+) as well as HLA/DR(+) markers on CD4(+). Our study confirmed the implication of the early and the late activation antigens expression on CD4(+) and CD8(+) T lymphocytes in clinicomorphological parameters of the tumor, especially TFG total score and depth of invasion, and their importance as indicators of the invasive phenotype of laryngeal carcinoma.  相似文献

Monomeric IgG (mIgG) has been previously shown to inhibit human natural killer (NK) cell activity when effector cells were treated prior to the cytotoxic assay. In the present study the interaction between negative regulation by mIgG and positive regulation by interleukin-2 (IL-2) was examined. Although a dose-dependent boosting of NK activity was found upon incubation of nonadherent lymphocytes (NAL) with recombinant or natural IL-2 for 2 h at 37 degrees C, the NK effector cells remained responsive to down-regulation to mIgG. However, when NAL were treated with IL-2 under supraoptimal conditions (higher doses and longer periods of incubation than required for optimal boosting of NK activity) the subsequent addition of mIgG had a significantly reduced inhibitory effect. This partial resistance to suppression by inhibitory IgG was observed only when the second treatment was performed without washing the IL-2-pretreated effector cells. Moreover, addition of antihuman interferon gamma antibodies during the incubation of NAL with IL-2 almost abolished the loss of responsiveness of the IL-2-activated killer cells to mIgG-induced inhibition. These data provide additional evidence for the ability of interferon gamma to reverse or block the down-regulation of NK activity by mIgG.  相似文献

It has been found that beta-endorphin (beta-END) and a synthetic beta-END-like decapeptide Ser-Leu-Thr-Cys-Leu-Val-Lys-Gly-Phe-Tyr (termed immunorphin, IMN) corresponding to the sequence 364-373 of human IgG heavy chain stimulate Con A-induced proliferation of T lymphocytes from the blood of healthy donors. [Met(5)]enkephalin ([Met(5)]ENK) and an antagonist of opioid receptors naloxone (NAL) tested in parallel were not active. The stimulating effect of beta-END and IMN on T lymphocyte proliferation was not inhibited by NAL. Studies on receptor binding of (125)I-labeled IMN to T lymphocytes revealed that it binds with high affinity to NAL-insensitive binding sites (K(d) = 7.0 +/- 0.3 nM). Unlabeled beta-END completely inhibited the specific binding of (125)I-labeled IMN to NAL-insensitive binding sites on T lymphocytes (K(i) = 1.1 +/- 0.2 nM). Thus, beta-END and IMN bind to common NAL-insensitive binding sites on T lymphocytes and enhance Con A-induced proliferation of these cells.  相似文献

The lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme pattern has been determined in different murine lymphocytic cell populations. In each cell population, the LDH activity was predominantly found in the LDH-4 and LDH-5 fractions. The percentage LDH-5 activity was significantly higher in B cells than in T cells. The same is true for lymphocytes from the spleen versus lymph node lymphocytes. The percentage LDH-5 activity is significantly higher in peripheral T lymphocytes than in thymocytes. Enrichment of the more mature thymocytes of the thymocyte cell pool by either cortisone treatment in vivo or gradient centrifugation on bovine serum albumin (BSA) results in a decrease of LDH-1 and LDH-2 fractions. In the cortisone-treated group, the shift in the LDH pattern is accompanied by a significant increase of LDH-5 and LDH-4 fractions, whereas in the BSA group only the LDH-4 fraction increases.  相似文献
