Human IL-9 is a T cell-derived lymphokine that is abundantly expressed upon activation with mitogens. The observation that IL-9 induction peaks as late as 28 h after stimulation suggested the involvement of secondary signals in this process. The finding reported here that IL-9 expression is blocked by cycloheximide strongly supports this hypothesis. Moreover, we identify IL-2 as the critical element controlling IL-9 expression in T cells. We show (i) that anti-IL-2R antibodies block IL-9 expression in T cells stimulated with PMA and anti-CD3 and (ii) that IL-2, of a panel of cytokines, is the only molecule that synergizes with PMA for IL-9 induction. The latter finding is confirmed in a T cell leukemia line. Finally, we demonstrate that IL-2 plays a regulatory role in the induction of other cytokines, such as IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, and granulocyte/macrophage-CSF, in fresh peripheral T cells. 相似文献

The regulation of human T cell proliferation by rIL-7 was investigated. Purified peripheral blood T cells were stimulated to proliferate in a short-term assay by IL-7 in the presence of CD3 mAb or lectin. This stimulation was accompanied by a significant increase in the expression of IL-2R on both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells over that seen with mitogen alone. The proliferation of these cells in the presence of exogenous IL-7 involved both IL-2-dependent and - independent mechanisms as shown by the ability of neutralizing IL-2 antibody to partially inhibit the response. Anti-IL-4 and anti-IL-6 antibodies had no effect on IL-7-induced T cell growth. These results suggest that the costimulatory effect of IL-7 on human T cells is primarily direct, not involving other intermediate T cell growth factors. IL-7 was also found to be mitogenic in a long-term assay in the absence of any costimulus, with the onset of proliferation occurring later than that seen in the presence of mitogen. These results demonstrate that IL-7 provides a potent T cell stimulus either alone or in the presence of co-mitogen and, although this stimulus is accompanied by an increase in the level of IL-2R expression, it is not dependent on the action of IL-2 for its effect. 相似文献

Interleukin-10 (IL-10) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) regulate CD4+ T cell interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) secretion in schistosome granulomas. The role of IL-12 was determined using C57BL/6 and CBA mice. C57BL/6 IL-4-/- granuloma cells were stimulated to produce IFN-gamma when cultured with IL-10 or TGF-beta neutralizing monoclonal antibody. In comparison, C57BL/6 wild-type (WT) control granuloma cells produced less IFN-gamma. IL-12, IL-18, and soluble egg antigen stimulated IFN-gamma release from C57BL/6 IL-4-/- and WT mice. IFN-gamma production in C57 IL-4-/- and WT granulomas was IL-12 dependent, because IL-12 blockade partly abrogated IFN-gamma secretion after stimulation. All granuloma cells released IL-12 (p70 and p40), and IL-12 production remained constant after anti-TGF-beta, anti-IL-10, recombinant IL-18, or antigen stimulation. C57 WT and IL-4-/- mouse granuloma cells expressed IL-12 receptor (IL-12R) beta1-subunit mRNA but little beta2 mRNA. TGF-beta or IL-10 blockade did not influence beta1 or beta2 mRNA expression. CBA mouse dispersed granuloma cells released no measurable IFN-gamma, produced IL-12 p70 and little p40, and expressed IL-12R beta2 and little beta1 mRNA. In T helper 2 (Th2) granulomas of C57BL/6 WT and IL-4-/- mice, cells produce IL-12 (for IFN-gamma production) and IL-10 and TGF-beta modulate IFN-gamma secretion via mechanisms independent of IL-12 and IL-12R mRNA regulation. We found substantial differences in control of granuloma IFN-gamma production and IL-12 circuitry in C57BL/6 and CBA mice. 相似文献

Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) exhibits diverse regulatory roles in the immune system and has been described as a potent inhibitor of lymphocyte and hemopoietic progenitor cell growth. The present studies investigated the effects of TGF-beta 1 on murine T cell proliferation triggered through the T cell receptor/CD3 complex. In contrast to previously reported T cell growth inhibition, TGF-beta 1 costimulated splenic T cell proliferation in the presence of immobilized anti-CD3 antibody 2C11, with maximal effect at anti-CD3 concentration of 50 micrograms/ml. Although TGF-beta 1 induced a modest increase in IL-2R display, TGF-beta 1 co-stimulated proliferation was largely independent of IL-2 and/or IL-4. Anti-IL-2 and/or anti-IL-4 antibody did not significantly block the TGF-beta 1 co-stimulated T cell growth, and no IL-2 or IL-4 bioactivity was detected in TGF-beta 1 co-stimulated cultures. TGF-beta 1 did not enhance IL-2 mRNA expression beyond control levels. However, TGF-beta 1 co-stimulation caused an accelerated evolution of a memory or mature T cell population phenotype. Both CD4+ and CD8+ T cell subsets were significantly enriched for cells of the mature CD45RBloPgp-1hi phenotype, in comparison with T cells stimulated by anti-CD3 alone or with PMA, and CD8+ T cells predominated. These results thus provide initial evidence that TGF-beta 1 is capable of bifunctional T cell growth regulation, which occurs largely via an IL-2- and IL-4-independent pathway. 相似文献

This study examined mRNA levels and cell surface expression of IL-4 receptor (IL-4R) in murine T and B cells after incubation with IL-4. Northern blot analysis of mRNA levels of T cells isolated from mesenteric lymph nodes and spleen revealed that IL-4 induced a transient augmentation of IL-4R mRNA in a dose-dependent manner. Maximal levels of mRNA were detected as early as 5 h after initiation of culture. These data were complemented by studies examining the cell surface expression of IL-4R using an anti-IL-4R mAb. Resting T and B lymphocytes express IL-4R (T greater than B) and incubation of these cells with exogenous IL-4 increased IL-4R expression to a maximum after 24 h. This effect was abolished after addition of anti-IL-4 antibody. Continuous incubation of T cells in the presence of high concentrations of IL-4 resulted in a down-regulation of IL-4R expression. Addition of the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide blocked the induced increases in IL-4R expression, indicating the requirement for de novo protein synthesis. Both the levels of mRNA and cell surface expression of IL-4R were not affected by addition of exogenous IL-2, and IL-4 regulation of IL-4R expression was not influenced by the immunosuppressive drug cyclosporin A. These data demonstrate that in T and B cells, IL-4 induces a transient up-regulation of IL-4 mRNA levels that is subsequently reflected in increased numbers of IL-4R displayed on the cell surface. This regulation of IL-4R expression by IL-4 provides an important mechanism for amplification of IL-4-dependent activation pathways. 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

Distinct mechanisms of suppression of murine T cell activation by the related macrolides FK-506 and rapamycin. 总被引:40,自引:0,他引:40

FK-506 and the structurally related macrolide rapamycin (RAP) were investigated in comparison with cyclosporin A (CsA) for their immunosuppressive effects on murine T cells. All three agents suppressed the proliferation of splenic T cells triggered by lectins or antibodies to CD3 and Ly-6C. FK-506 or CsA also inhibited proliferation, IL-2 production, and IL-2R expression in splenic T cells activated with ionomycin + PMA. However, RAP minimally affected IL-2 production and IL-2R expression in these cells, although it reduced proliferation. Similarly, FK-506 and CsA, but not RAP, suppressed IL-2 production by activated DO.11.10 T hybridoma cells. In such a system, as well as in normal T cells stimulated with high ionomycin concentrations, FK-506 and CsA enhanced proliferation, indicating that they both abrogate negative signals associated with T cell activation. On the contrary, RAP diminished the autonomous proliferation of hybridoma cells, whereas FK-506 and CsA had little effect. The proliferative response induced in D10.G4 cells by IL-1 + ionomycin but not that induced by IL-1 + PMA was sensitive to inhibition by FK-506 and CsA. In contrast, RAP inhibited equally well both types of stimulation. Finally, T cell proliferation driven by IL-2 or IL-4 was found to be relatively resistant to FK-506 or CsA but sensitive to RAP. Altogether, these data demonstrate that FK-506 and CsA alter similar calcium-associated events of T cell activation and block T cell proliferation primarily by suppressing lymphokine production. RAP interferes with a different set of events and inhibits T cells by impairing their response to growth-promoting lymphokines. 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

Cooperation between an anti-T cell (anti-CD28) monoclonal antibody and monocyte-produced IL-6 in the induction of T cell responsiveness to IL-2 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4

CD28 is an Ag of 44-kDa Mr that is expressed on the membrane of the majority of human T cells and that is recognized by mAb 9.3. The functional effects of mAb 9.3 on peripheral blood T cells were studied. mAb 9.3 was not mitogenic, unless it was combined with PMA. When CD28 was cross-linked after binding of mAb 9.3 to the T cell by immobilized or soluble anti-mouse IgG, T cells proliferated in response to rIL-2, provided that monocytes were also present. The additional signal required for IL-2 responsiveness after cross-linking of CD28 could also be delivered in cultures of purified T cells by a cellfree monocyte culture supernatant. Expression of IL-2R on about 10% of the T cells was demonstrated by staining with an anti-IL-2R mAb, and was found to be largely restricted to CD4+ cells. The active compound responsible for the helper signal in the monocyte culture supernatant was identified as IL-6 because purified IL-6 (but not IL-1 beta) had similar activity and because an antiserum to IL-6 (but not an antiserum to IL-1 beta) neutralized the activity of the monocyte supernatant and blocked T cell proliferation. An anti-IL-2R antibody also completely inhibited T cell proliferation induced by the combination of mAb 9.3, IL-2, and IL-6. Our results provide evidence that cross-linking of CD28 induces functional IL-2R and that this activity is dependent on a helper signal provided by monocytes, more specifically IL-6. Moreover, our results indicate that IL-6 (previously called B cell stimulatory factor-2) is active on T cells. If a natural ligand for CD28 can be identified, the mechanism of induction of IL-2 responsiveness described here might explain how T cells become nonspecifically involved in an ongoing cellular immune reaction. 相似文献

Double-negative (CD4-/CD8-) thymocytes from young adult mice can be separated into two distinct subpopulations on the basis of the binding of mAb 7D4 directed against the receptor for IL-2. The 7D4+ cells have predominantly nonrearranged TCR beta-chain genes and express incomplete 1.0-kb beta-messages, whereas the 7D4- cells have rearranged beta-genes and express complete 1.3-kb as well as incomplete 1.0-kb beta-messages. These two populations of double-negative thymocytes also differ in their responses to IL-2 and IL-4. The 7D4+ cells are nonresponsive to IL-2 alone or IL-2 plus PMA but they are stimulated to proliferate by the combination of IL-4 and PMA. In contrast, the 7D4- cells vigorously proliferate in response to IL-2 alone or IL-2 plus PMA but they respond poorly to IL-4 alone or IL-4 plus PMA. These results suggest that IL-2 and IL-4 may be involved in the stimulation of immature thymocytes at distinct steps of their differentiation. IL-4 together with PMA stimulate immature thymocytes which seem to express the IL-2R but do not respond to IL-2. 相似文献

The present study investigates the role of thymic stroma-derived T cell growth factor (TSTGF) in promoting the growth of L3T4- Lyt2- (double-negative) thymocytes. Partially purified TSTGF samples were prepared from the culture supernatant of a newly established thymic stromal cell line, MRL104.8a. The TSTGF alone induced only marginal proliferation of double-negative thymocytes, whereas this factor exerted a potent growth-promoting effect on these cells in combination with PMA. Because such an enhanced proliferation was not inhibited by anti-IL-4 or anti-IL-2R antibody, this was not due to the stimulation of an autocrine mechanism involving the production and utilization of IL-4 or IL-2. In scrutinizing PMA-equivalent physiologic substance(s), IL-1 was revealed to be capable of replacing the role of PMA in the above co-stimulation cultures and including enhanced proliferation of double-negative thymocytes in combination with TSTGF. Although TSTGF plus IL-2 or IL-4 also exhibited an appreciable or moderate synergistic effect on the growth of double-negative thymocytes, its magnitude was weaker compared with that obtained by TSTGF plus IL-1. More important, the strikingly enhanced proliferation was induced in the combinations of TSTGF, IL-1, and IL-2 or IL-4 under conditions in which the proliferation induced by IL-1 plus IL-4 or IL-1 plus IL-2 was marginal or slight. Furthermore, such strongly enhanced proliferation was also observed in the double-negative thymocyte population which was additionally depleted of T3+ cells (namely, the L3T4- Lyt-2- T3- or dull population). These results indicate the crucial role of TSTGF in the proliferation of immature thymocytes by synergy with various cytokines. 相似文献

IL-4 (B cell stimulatory factor 1) exhibits thymocyte growth factor activity in the presence of IL-2 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The proliferative activity of thymocytes cultured with IL-2 and submitogenic concentrations of PHA is increased by 3- to 10-fold in the presence of IL-4. In contrast, IL-4 alone is unable to induce proliferative activity in thymocyte cultures and its synergistic activity is only apparent to concentrations of IL-2 above 1 U/ml. The costimulatory activity of IL-4 is abrogated by the monoclonal anti-IL-4 antibody 11B11. Furthermore, potentiation of the IL-2-mediated thymocyte proliferation is not seen with IL-1, IL-3, IFN-gamma, and granulocyte-macrophage CSF. Thymocytes are at least as responsive to IL-4 as B cells and the IL-4 costimulatory activity in fractionated thymocytes appears to be restricted mainly to the Lyt-2+/L3T4- population. In contrast, purified resting mature T cells do not respond to IL-4 plus IL-2, although they did proliferate in response to IL-4 in combination with PMA. These findings indicate that thymocytes and mature T cells are responsive to the costimulatory activity of IL-4 under quite different conditions, and that IL-4 may play an important role in thymocyte maturation in the thymus. 相似文献

B cell response to fresh and effector T helper cells. Role of cognate T-B interaction and the cytokines IL-2, IL-4, and IL-6 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The helper activity of resting T cells and in vitro generated effector T cells and the relative roles of cognate interaction, diffusible cytokines, and non-cognate T-B contact in B cell antibody responses were evaluated in a model in which normal murine CD4+ T cells (Th), activated with alloantigen-bearing APC, were used to support the growth and differentiation of unstimulated allogeneic B cells. Both "fresh" T cells, consisting of memory and naive cells, stimulated for 24 h, and "effector" T cells, derived from naive cells after 4 days of in vitro stimulation, induced the secretion of IgM, IgG3, IgG1, IgG2a, and IgA. Effector T cells were significantly better helpers of the response of small dense B cells, inducing Ig at lower numbers and inducing at optimal numbers 2- to 3-fold more Ig production than fresh T cells. The predominant isotype secreted was IgM. Supernatants derived from fresh T cell cultures contained moderate levels of IL-2, whereas those from effector cultures contained significant levels of IL-6 and IFN-gamma in addition to IL-2. The involvement of soluble factors in the B cell response was demonstrated by the ability of antibodies to the cytokines IL-2, IL-4, and IL-6 to each block Ig secretion. Antibodies to IL-5 and IFN-gamma had no effect on the T cell-induced response. Kinetic studies suggested that IL-4 acted during the initial stages of the response, whereas the inability of anti-IL-6 to block B cell proliferation suggested that IL-6 was involved in part in promoting differentiation of the B cells. The relative contributions of cognate (MHC-restricted) and bystander (MHC-unrestricted) T-B cell contact vs cytokine (non-contact)-mediated responses were assessed in a transwell culture system. The majority of the IgM, IgG3, IgG1, and IgG2a response induced by both fresh and effector T cells was dependent on cognate interaction with small, high density B cells. In contrast, a small proportion of these isotypes and most of the IgA secreted resulted from the action of IL-6 on large, presumably preactivated, B cells. The IgA response did not require cell contact or vary when fresh and effector cells were the helpers. The contribution of bystander contact in the overall antibody response to both T cell populations was minimal.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

The development of Ag-specific IL-4-producing T cells in short term cultures was examined. Freshly harvested lymph node cells from B10.A mice immunized with the cytochrome c fragment 81-104 did not produce detectable amounts of IL-4 upon Ag stimulation. However, after one cycle of bulk in vitro restimulation, the same cells could be stimulated to secrete IL-4. The development of Ag-specific IL-4-producing cells during the in vitro culture could be influenced by different culture conditions. When IL-4 and IL-1, in the presence of anti-IL-2R antibodies, were added to the bulk culture, secondary stimulation of the cells revealed increased levels of IL-4 production and constant or decreased levels of IL-2 production. The addition of IFN-gamma during the bulk culture led to a decrease in IL-4 production, yet had no effect on IL-2 production. When anti-IL-4 antibodies were present during the restimulation culture, no IL-4 was produced in the final stimulation assay. In addition, T cells cultured at high cell density produced more IL-4 in a secondary stimulation than did T cells cultured at low cell density. These results demonstrate that culture conditions during a short term culture of freshly harvested primed T cells may profoundly influence the development of IL-4-producing cells. This may be caused either by selective expansion or inhibition of preexisting IL-4-producing T cells, or by the differentiation of precursors of IL-4-producing cells. 相似文献

CD28 is an inducible T cell surface antigen that transduces a proliferative signal in CD3+ mature thymocytes 总被引:21,自引:0,他引:21
L A Turka J A Ledbetter K Lee C H June C B Thompson 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1990,144(5):1646-1653
The rearrangement of TCR genes during thymic ontogeny creates a repertoire of T cell specificities that is refined to ensure the deletion of autoreactive clones and the MHC restriction of T cell responses. Signals delivered via the accessory molecules CD2, CD4, and CD8 have a crucial role in this phase of T cell differentiation. Recently, CD28 has been identified as a signal transducing molecule on the surface of most mature T cells. Perturbation of the CD28 molecule stimulates a novel pathway of T cell activation regulating the production of a variety of lymphokines including IL-2. We have studied the expression and function of CD28 during thymic ontogeny, and in resting and activated PBL. A variable percentage of resting thymocytes were CD28+ (3 to 25%, n = 8), but it was found in high density only on mature CD3+(bright) CD4/CD8 cells. Both unseparated thymocytes and isolated CD3-CD28-/dull cells proliferated when stimulated with PMA plus IL-2 or PMA plus ionomycin. PMA treatment also rapidly up-regulated CD28 expression in the CD3- subset as these cells became CD3-CD28+(bright). Despite the ability of PMA to induce high density CD28 expression in CD3- cells, CD3- thymocytes did not proliferate in response to PMA plus anti-CD28 mAb, in contrast to unseparated cells. CD3+ thymocytes stimulated with immobilized anti-CD3 mAb also failed to proliferate in culture. However, the addition of either IL-2 or anti-CD28 mAb supported proliferation, suggesting that only CD3+ cells could respond to CD28 signaling. The comitogenic effect of anti-CD3 and anti-CD28 mAb was IL-2 dependent as it was abrogated by an anti-IL-2R mAb. Interestingly, the expression of CD28 on the cell surface of CD3+ cells was also inducible, as flow cytometric analysis demonstrated a 10-fold increase in cell surface CD28 by 24 to 48 h after anti-CD3 stimulation of both CD3+ thymocytes and peripheral blood T cells. This increase was accounted for by a commensurate increase in CD28 mRNA levels. Together, these results suggest that CD28 is an inducible T cell antigen in both CD3- and CD3+ cells. In addition, stimulation of the CD28 pathway can provide a second signal to support the growth of CD3+ thymocytes stimulated through the TCR/CD3 complex, and may therefore represent a mechanism for positive selection during thymic ontogeny. 相似文献

Antigen specific and MHC nonrestricted cytotoxicity of T cell receptor alpha beta+ and gamma delta+ human T cell clones isolated in IL-4 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

IL-4 has been shown to act as a growth factor for human T cells. In addition, IL-4 can enhance CTL activity in MLC, but blocks IL-2 induced lymphokine activated killer cell activity in PBL. In our study, the cloning efficiencies, Ag-specific CTL activity and non-MHC-restricted cytotoxicity of CTL clones generated in IL-2 were compared to those generated in IL-4. In a first experiment, T cells were stimulated with the EBV-transformed B cell line JY and cloned 7 days later with feeder cells and either IL-2 or IL-4. In a second experiment, stimulation of the T cells was carried out in the presence of IL-2 plus anti-IL-4 antibodies or IL-4 plus anti-IL-2 antibodies in order to block the effects of IL-4 and IL-2, respectively, produced by the feeder cells. Although the cloning efficiencies in the second experiment were lower than those obtained in the first experiment, the cloning efficiencies obtained with IL-2 or IL-4 were similar in both experiments. The overall proportion of TCR alpha beta+ T cell clones cytotoxic for the stimulator cell JY established in IL-2 or IL-4 were comparable. A striking difference between the clones obtained in IL-2 or IL-4 was that a large proportion of the clones obtained in IL-4 expressed CD4 and CD8 simultaneously, whereas none of the clones isolated in IL-2 were double positive. Also gamma delta+ T cell clones could be established with IL-4 as a growth factor. TCR gamma delta+ T cell clones isolated in either IL-2 or IL-4 were CD4-CD8- or CD4-CD8+, but the proportion of CD4-CD8+ clones isolated in IL-4 was higher. Interestingly, one TCR gamma delta+ clone isolated in IL-2 was CD4+CD8-. Most of the TCR alpha beta+ and TCR gamma delta+ CTL-clones isolated in IL-2 lysed the NK cell sensitive target cell K562. In contrast, only a small proportion of the TCR alpha beta+ or TCR gamma delta+ CTL clones isolated in IL-4, lysed K562. One TCR gamma delta+ T cell clone (CD-124) isolated in IL-4 and subsequently incubated in IL-2 acquired lytic activity against K562.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

IL-2 can enhance the cyclosporin A-mediated inhibition of Theileria parva-infected T cell proliferation 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The effect of cyclosporin A on the continuous proliferation of Theileria parva-infected T cells was tested and compared with its effect on the Con A-induced proliferation of bovine lymph node cells. The effect of rIL-2 on cyclosporin A-treated cells was also tested. Whereas the Con A-induced proliferation of bovine lymph node cells was completely inhibited by cyclosporin A, the continuous growth of T. parva-infected cells was only partly inhibited. In both cases the inhibition was accompanied by a reduction in the level of IL-2R/Tac mRNA and surface IL-2R expression. The cyclosporin A-mediated inhibition of Con-A stimulated lymphoblasts was, over a period of 5 days, largely abrogated by human rIL-2. In the short term, rIL-2 could also alleviate the growth inhibition of T. parva-infected cells caused by treatment with cyclosporin A. In the long term, however, rIL-2 enhanced the cyclosporin A-mediated inhibition of T. parva-infected cells, gradually leading to their complete growth arrest. This enhanced inhibition was accompanied by a further reduction in surface IL-2R expression, but not by a further decrease in the levels of steady state IL-2R/Tac mRNA. The fact that IL-2 can enhance the inhibition caused by cyclosporin A could be of relevance for the immunosuppressive activity of cyclosporin A. 相似文献
