The liver is a site where activated CD8(+) T cells are trapped and destroyed at the end of an immune response. The intrahepatic accumulation of activated murine TCR transgenic CD8(+) T cells was significantly reduced when either ICAM-1 or VCAM-1 was blocked by specific Ab. These two adhesion mechanisms account for essentially all the trapping of activated CD8(+) T cells in the mouse liver. Although the ICAM-1-mediated trapping depends on the capacity of the vasculature and/or the parenchymal cells to present Ag, the accumulation of cells through VCAM-1 does not require Ag recognition. Thus, Ags expressed by the non-bone marrow-derived cells in the liver actively cause CD8(+) T cell accumulation through TCR-activated ICAM-1 adhesion, but the liver can also passively sequester activated CD8(+) T cells that do not recognize intrahepatic Ag, through VCAM-1 adhesion. 相似文献

At the end of an immune response, activated lymphocyte populations contract, leaving only a small memory population. The deletion of CD8(+) T cells from the periphery is associated with an accumulation of CD8(+) T cells in the liver, resulting in both CD8(+) T cell apoptosis and liver damage. After adoptive transfer and in vivo activation of TCR transgenic CD8(+) T cells, an increased number of activated CD8(+) T cells was observed in the lymph nodes, spleen, and liver of mice treated with anti-TNF-alpha. However, caspase activity was decreased only in CD8(+) T cells in the liver, not in those in the lymphoid organs. These results indicate that TNF-alpha is responsible for inducing apoptosis in the liver and suggest that CD8(+) T cells escaping this mechanism of deletion can recirculate into the periphery. 相似文献

Blocking intrahepatic deletion of activated CD8+ T cells by an altered peptide ligand 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
BACKGROUND: Activated CD8(+) T cells are retained by the healthy liver where the majority undergo apoptosis. The intrahepatic apoptosis of activated CD8(+) T cells is enhanced by the presence of SIINFEKL peptide. It is of great interest to identify strategies for maintaining intrahepatic T cell number and function in the presence of SIINFEKL peptides. AIM: Our aim was to test if low affinity peptides can block SIINFEKL peptide induced T cell deletion. METHODS: We used an in vivo model of intrahepatic CD8(+) T cell deletion with peptides of different affinities. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: We show that the intrahepatic deletion of CD8(+) T cells by SIINFEKL peptide results in loss of in vivo cytotoxic T lymphocyte function. In contrast we show that a low affinity peptide (G4) does not result in intrahepatic deletion of CD8(+) T cells. High concentrations G4 peptide can however block intrahepatic deletion of activated CD8(+) T cells, and prevent loss of in vivo cytotoxicity due to SIINFEKL peptide. This is the first demonstration of blocking of SIINFEKL peptide induced CD8(+) T cell deletion in the liver, with enhancement of in vivo cytotoxicity. 相似文献

The response of T cells to liver Ags sometimes results in immune tolerance. This has been proposed to result from local, intrahepatic priming, while the expression of the same Ag in liver-draining lymph nodes is believed to result in effective immunity. We tested this model, using an exogenous model Ag expressed only in hepatocytes, due to infection with an adeno-associated virus vector. T cell activation was exclusively intrahepatic, yet in contrast to the predictions of the current model, this resulted in clonal expansion, IFN-gamma synthesis, and cytotoxic effector function. Local activation of naive CD8(+) T cells can therefore cause full CD8(+) T cell activation, and hepatocellular presentation cannot be used to explain the failure of CTL effector function against some liver pathogens such as hepatitis C. 相似文献

During peripheral T cell deletion, lymphocytes accumulate in nonlymphoid organs including the liver, a tissue that expresses the nonclassical, MHC-like molecule, CD1. Injection of anti-CD3 Ab results in T cell activation, which in normal mice is followed by peripheral T cell deletion. However, in CD1-deficient mice, the deletion of the activated T cells from the lymph nodes was impaired. This defect in peripheral T cell deletion was accompanied by attenuated accumulation of CD8(+) T cells in the liver. In tetra-parental bone marrow chimeras, expression of CD1 on the T cells themselves was not required for T cell deletion, suggesting a role for CD1 on other cells with which the T cells interact. We tested whether this role was dependent on the Ag receptor-invariant, CD1-reactive subset of NK T cells using two other mutant mouse lines that lack most NK T cells, due to deletion of the genes encoding either beta(2)-microglobulin or the TCR element J alpha 281. However, these mice had no abnormality of peripheral T cell deletion. These findings indicate a novel role for CD1 in T cell deletion, and show that CD1 functions in this process through mechanisms that does not involve the major, TCR-invariant set of NK T cells. 相似文献

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

CD4(+) T cells are known to provide support for the activation and expansion of primary CD8(+) T cells, their subsequent differentiation, and ultimately their survival as memory cells. However, the importance of cognate memory CD4(+) T cells in the expansion of memory CD8(+) T cells after re-exposure to Ag has been not been examined in detail. Using bone marrow-derived dendritic cells pulsed with cognate or noncognate MHC class I- and class II-restricted peptides, we examined whether the presence of memory CD4(+) T cells with the same Ag specificity as memory CD8(+) T cells influenced the quantity and quality of the secondary CD8(+) T cell response. After recombinant vaccinia virus-mediated challenge, we demonstrate that, although cognate memory CD4(+) T cells are not required for activation of secondary CD8(+) T cells, their presence enhances the expansion of cognate memory CD8(+) T cells. Cognate CD4(+) T cell help results in an approximate 2-fold increase in the frequency of secondary CD8(+) T cells in secondary lymphoid tissues, and can be accounted for by enhanced proliferation in the secondary CD8(+) T cell population. In addition, cognate memory CD4(+) T cells further selectively enhance secondary CD8(+) T cell infiltration of tumor-associated peripheral tissue, and this is accompanied by increased differentiation into effector phenotype within the secondary CD8(+) T cell population. The consequence of these improvements to the magnitude and phenotype of the secondary CD8(+) T cell response is substantial increase in control of tumor outgrowth. 相似文献

Although obstructive jaundice has been associated with a predisposition toward infections, the effects of bile duct ligation (BDL) on bulk intrahepatic T cells have not been clearly defined. The aim of this study was to determine the consequences of BDL on liver T cell phenotype and function. After BDL in mice, we found that bulk liver T cells were less responsive to allogeneic or syngeneic Ag-loaded dendritic cells. Spleen T cell function was not affected, and the viability of liver T cells was preserved. BDL expanded the number of CD4(+)CD25(+)Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Treg), which were anergic to direct CD3 stimulation and mediated T cell suppression in vitro. Adoptively transferred CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells were converted into Treg within the liver after BDL. In vivo depletion of Treg after BDL restored bulk liver T cell function but exacerbated the degrees of inflammatory cytokine production, cholestasis, and hepatic fibrosis. Thus, BDL expands liver Treg, which reduce the function of bulk intrahepatic T cells yet limit liver injury. 相似文献

Selective retention of activated CD8+ T cells by the normal liver. 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14

Activation-induced cell death resulting in peripheral deletion of CD8+ T cells is associated with the accumulation of large numbers of apoptotic T cells in the liver. The hypothesis that this accumulation results from the intrahepatic trapping of T cells from the circulating pool predicts that the liver should retain T cells, which subsequently undergo apoptosis. Here we test this prediction. Perfusion of the liver with lymphocyte mixtures showed retention of activated, but neither resting nor apoptosing, T cells. This trapping was selective for CD8+ cells and was mediated primarily by ICAM-1 constitutively expressed on sinusoidal endothelial cells and Kupffer cells. T cells trapped in the liver became apoptotic. The normal liver is therefore a "sink" for activated T cells. 相似文献

In response to Ag stimulation, Ag-specific T cells proliferate and accumulate in the peripheral lymphoid tissues. To avoid excessive T cell accumulation, the immune system has developed mechanisms to delete clonally expanded T cells. Fas/FasL-mediated apoptosis plays a critical role in the deletion of activated peripheral T cells, which is clearly demonstrated by superantigen (staphylococcal enterotoxin B)-induced deletion of Vbeta8(+) T cells. Using transgenic mice expressing a stabilized beta-catenin (beta-cat(Tg)), we show here that beta-catenin was able to enhance apoptosis of activated T cells by up-regulating Fas. In response to staphylococcal enterotoxin B stimulation, beta-cat(Tg) mice exhibited accelerated deletion of CD4(+)Vbeta8(+) T cells compared with wild type mice. Surface Fas levels were significantly higher on activated T cells obtained from beta-cat(Tg) mice than that from wild type mice. Additionally, T cells from beta-cat(Tg) mice were more sensitive to apoptosis induced by crosslinking Fas, activation-induced cell death, and to apoptosis induced by cytokine withdrawal. Lastly, beta-catenin bound to and stimulated the Fas promoter. Therefore, our data demonstrated that the beta-catenin pathway was able to promote the apoptosis of activated T cells in part via up-regulation of Fas. 相似文献

Following immunization with Plasmodium yoelii sporozoites, the CD8(+) T cell population specific for the SYVPSAEQI epitope expressed in sporozoite and liver stages of this malaria parasite revealed the existence of a short term Ag presentation process that translated into a single clonal burst. Further expansion of this CD8(+) T cell population in conditions of sustained Ag exposure and additional supply of naive cells was inhibited by regulatory mechanisms that were developed as early as 24-48 h after priming. Studies using mouse models for Plasmodium or influenza virus infections revealed that this mechanism is Ag specific and is mediated by activated CD8(+) T cells that inhibit the priming of naive cells. This interference of the priming of naive cells appeared to result from limited access to Ag-presenting dendritic cells, which become disabled or are eliminated after contact with activated cells. Thus, concomitantly with the development of their effector antimicrobial capacity, CD8(+) T cells also acquire a self-regulatory role that is likely to represent one of the earliest mechanisms induced in the course of an immune response and that limits the magnitude of the early expansion of CD8(+) T lymphocytes reactive to microorganisms. 相似文献

Cooperation between CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells is required for the proper development of primary effector and memory CD8(+) T cells following immunization with noninflammatory immunogens. In this study, we characterized murine CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell responses to male-specific minor histocompatibility (HY) Ags following injection of live male cells into females of the same strain. Male cells are rejected 10-12 days after transfer, coinciding with the expansion and effector function of CD8(+) CTLs to two H-2D(b)-restricted epitopes. Although anti-HY CD4(+) T cell responses are readily detectable day 5 posttransfer, CD8(+) responses are undetectable until day 10. The early CD4(+) response is not dependent on direct presentation of Ag by donor male cells, but depends on presentation of the male cells by recipient APC. The CD4(+) T cell response is required for the priming of CD8(+) T cell effector responses and rejection of HY-incompatible cells. Unexpectedly, HY-specific CD4(+) T cells are also capable of efficiently lysing target cells in vivo. The delay in the CD8(+) T cell response can be largely abrogated by depleting T cells from the male inoculum, and donor male CD8(+) T cells in particular suppress host anti-HY CD8(+) responses. These data demonstrate dramatic differences in host T cell responses to noninflammatory Ags compared with responses to pathogens. We explain the delayed CD8(+) response by proposing that there is a balance between cross-presentation of Ag by helper cell-licensed dendritic cells, on the one hand, and veto suppression by live male lymphocytes on the other. 相似文献

CD8(+) effector T cells recognize malignant cells by monitoring their surface for the presence of tumor-derived peptides bound to MHC class I molecules. In addition, tumor-derived Ags can be cross-presented to CD8(+) effector T cells by APCs. IFN-gamma production by CD8(+) T cells is often critical for tumor rejection. However, it remained unclear whether 1) CD8(+) T cells secrete IFN-gamma in response to Ag recognition on tumor cells or APCs and 2) whether IFN-gamma mediates its antitumor effect by acting on host or tumor cells. We show in this study that CD8(+) effector T cells can reject tumors in bone marrow-chimeric mice incapable of cross-presenting Ag by bone marrow-derived APCs and that tumor rejection required host cells to express IFN-gammaR. Together, CD8(+) effector T cells recognize Ag directly on tumor cells, and this recognition is sufficient to reject tumors by IFN-gamma acting on host cells. 相似文献

We previously demonstrated that protection induced by radiation-attenuated (gamma) Plasmodium berghei sporozoites is linked to MHC class I-restricted CD8(+) T cells specific for exoerythrocytic-stage Ags, and that activated intrahepatic memory CD8(+) T cells are associated with protracted protection. In this study, we further investigated intrahepatic memory CD8(+) T cells to elucidate mechanisms required for their maintenance. Using phenotypic markers indicative of activation (CD44, CD45RB), migration (CD62L), and IFN-gamma production, we identified two subsets of intrahepatic memory CD8(+) T cells: the CD44(high)CD45RB(low)CD62L(low)CD122(low) phenotype, representing the dominant effector memory set, and the CD44(high)CD45RB(high)CD62L(low/high)CD122(high) phenotype, representing the central memory set. Only the effector memory CD8(+) T cells responded swiftly to sporozoite challenge by producing sustained IFN-gamma; the central memory T cells responded with delay, and the IFN-gamma reactivity was short-lived. In addition, the subsets of liver memory CD8(+) T cells segregated according to the expression of CD122 (IL-15R) in that only the central memory CD8(+) T cells were CD122(high), whereas the effector memory CD8(+) T cells were CD122(low). Moreover, the effector memory CD8(+) T cells declined as protection waned in mice treated with primaquine, a drug that interferes with the formation of liver-stage Ags. We propose that protracted protection induced by P. berghei radiation-attenuated sporozoites depends in part on a network of interactive liver memory CD8(+) T cell subsets, each representing a different phase of activation or differentiation, and the balance of which is profoundly affected by the repository of liver-stage Ag and IL-15. 相似文献

Chronic innocuous aeroallergen exposure attenuates CD4(+) T cell-mediated airways hyperresponsiveness in mice; however, the mechanism(s) remain unclear. We examined the role of airway mucosal dendritic cell (AMDC) subsets in this process using a multi-OVA aerosol-induced tolerance model in sensitized BALB/c mice. Aeroallergen capture by both CD11b(lo) and CD11b(hi) AMDC and the delivery of OVA to airway draining lymph nodes by CD8α(-) migratory dendritic cells (DC) were decreased in vivo (but not in vitro) when compared with sensitized but nontolerant mice. This was functionally significant, because in vivo proliferation of OVA-specific CD4(+) T cells was suppressed in airway draining lymph nodes of tolerized mice and could be restored by intranasal transfer of OVA-pulsed and activated exogenous DC, indicating a deficiency in Ag presentation by endogenous DC arriving from the airway mucosa. Bone marrow-derived DC Ag-presenting function was suppressed in multi-OVA tolerized mice, and allergen availability to airway APC populations was limited after multi-OVA exposure, as indicated by reduced OVA and dextran uptake by airway interstitial macrophages, with diffusion rather than localization of OVA across the airway mucosal surface. These data indicate that inhalation tolerance limits aeroallergen capture by AMDC subsets through a mechanism of bone marrow suppression of DC precursor function coupled with reduced Ag availability in vivo at the airway mucosa, resulting in limited Ag delivery to lymph nodes and hypoproliferation of allergen-specific CD4(+) T cells. 相似文献

Various mechanisms of peripheral T cell tolerization have evolved to avoid responses mediated by autoreactive T cells that have not been eliminated in the thymus. In this study, we investigated the peripheral conditions of Ag presentation required to induce T cell tolerance when the predominant APCs are B cells. We show that transient Ag presentation, in absence of inflammation and in a self-context, induces CD4(+) T cell activation and memory formation. In contrast, chronic Ag presentation leads to CD4(+) T cell tolerance. The importance of long-lasting Ag presentation in inducing tolerance was also confirmed in the herpes stromal keratitis autoimmune disease model. Keratogenic T cells could be activated or tolerized depending on the APC short or long persistence. Thus, when APCs are B cells, the persistence of the Ag presentation itself is one of the main conditions to have peripheral T cell tolerance. 相似文献

Naive B lymphocytes are generally thought to be poor APCs, and there is limited knowledge of their role in activation of CD8(+) T cells. In this article, we demonstrate that class I MHC Ag presentation by human naive B cells is enhanced by TLR9 agonists. Purified naive B cells were cultured with or without a TLR9 agonist (CpG oligodeoxynucleotide [ODN] 2006) for 2 d and then assessed for phenotype, endocytic activity, and their ability to induce CD8(+) T cell responses to soluble Ags. CpG ODN enhanced expression of class I MHC and the costimulatory molecule CD86 and increased endocytic activity as determined by uptake of dextran beads. Pretreatment of naive B cells with CpG ODN also enabled presentation of tetanus toxoid to CD8(+) T cells, resulting in CD8(+) T cell cytokine production and granzyme B secretion and proliferation. Likewise, CpG-activated naive B cells showed enhanced ability to cross-present CMV Ag to autologous CD8(+) T cells, resulting in proliferation of CMV-specific CD8(+) T cells. Although resting naive B cells are poor APCs, they can be activated by TLR9 agonists to serve as potent APCs for class I MHC-restricted T cell responses. This novel activity of naive B cells could be exploited for vaccine design. 相似文献

Ag presentation in the absence of danger signals and Ag persistence are the inductive processes of peripheral T cell tolerization proposed so far. Nevertheless, it has never been definitively shown that chronic Ag presentation per se can induce T cell tolerance independent of the state of activation of APCs. In the present work, we investigated whether chronic Ag presentation by either resting or activated B cells can induce tolerance of peripheral Ag-specific T cells. We show that CD4(+) T cells that re-encounter the Ag for a prolonged period, presented either by resting or activated Ag-presenting B cells, become nonfunctional and lose any autoimmune reactivity. Thus, when the main APCs are B cells, the major mechanism responsible for peripheral T cell tolerization is persistent Ag exposure, independent of the B cell activation state. 相似文献

Costimulatory ligands CD80 and CD86 have different binding preferences and affinities to their receptors, CD28 and CTLA-4. Earlier, we demonstrated that CD80 binds to CTLA-4 with higher affinity and has a role in suppressing T cell response. The current study demonstrates that not only did blockade of CD86 upon Ag presentation by bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DC) to OVA-specific T cells result in induction of hyporesponsive T cells but also that these T cells could suppress the proliferative response of effector T cells. These T cells showed TGF-beta1 on their surface and secreted TGF-beta1 and IL-10 upon restimulation. Although blockade of CTLA-4 and neutralization of IL-10 profoundly inhibited the induction of these TGF-beta1(+) T cells, their ability to suppress the effector T cell proliferation was abrogated by neutralization of TGF-beta1 alone. Induction of TGF-beta1(+) and IL-10(+) T cells was found to be independent of natural CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells, demonstrating that preferential ligation of CTLA-4 by CD80 induced IL-10 production by effector T cells, which in turn promoted the secretion of TGF-beta1. Treatment of prediabetic NOD mice with islet beta cell Ag-pulsed CD86(-/-) DCs, but not CD80(-/-) DCs, resulted in the induction of TGF-beta1- and IL-10-producing cells, significant suppression of insulitis, and delay of the onset of hyperglycemia. These observations demonstrate not only that CD80 preferentially binds to CTLA-4 but also that interaction during Ag presentation can result in IL-10-dependent TGF-beta1(+) regulatory T cell induction, reinstating the potential of approaches to preferentially engage CTLA-4 through CD80 during self-Ag presentation in suppressing autoimmunity. 相似文献
