Dendritic cells (DCs) are key antigen-presenting cells central to the induction of primary immune responses. Despite the prevalence of respiratory disease in sheep and the increasing use of the ovine lung as a model for human disease, ovine respiratory tract DCs (RTDCs) have not yet been characterized. Using single and double immunocytochemical staining, expression of a number of potential DC markers (MHC class II, CD1b, SIRPalpha, and CD205) by ovine RTDC populations has been determined. MHC class II staining revealed widespread populations of DCs either adjacent to respiratory airway epithelium or within the lung parenchyma. CD1b was expressed by a small subpopulation of both airway and parenchymal RTDCs. Expression of SIRPalpha was limited to a small subpopulation of airway RTDCs but was absent from the lung parenchyma. CD205 was widely expressed by airway RTDCs but expressed only by a small subpopulation of parenchymal RTDCs. In addition, the majority (87%) of parenchymal CD205+ cells exhibited a non-DC-like morphology and did not express MHC class II, suggesting that these single CD205+ cells were not DCs. Phenotypic differences between airway and parenchymal RTDCs may be related to functional differences between the two populations. 相似文献

Mycophenolate mofetil impairs the maturation and function of murine dendritic cells 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24

The immunosuppressive drug, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), has been successfully introduced in allogeneic transplantation medicine and, more recently, in the treatment of autoimmune skin disorders. MMF inhibits lymphocyte proliferation via a blockade of the enzyme inosine 5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase, an enzyme on which lymphocytes solely depend to generate the purines necessary for DNA/RNA synthesis. To investigate the effects of MMF on cutaneous immune responses, a murine model of contact hypersensitivity (CHS) was used, with oxazolone or trinitrochlorobenzene as a contact allergen. Compared with the respective vehicle, i.p. applied MMF significantly inhibited the elicitation and, surprisingly, the induction of CHS responses. This prompted further studies into the effects of MMF on Ag presentation. Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DC) were cultured with GM-CSF and IL-4 in the presence of MMF and were tested for their Ag-presenting capacity. Sensitization and elicitation of CHS and delayed-type hypersensitivity responses by s. c. injected haptenated DC were reduced upon preincubation of DC with MMF. CHS responses were not impaired upon resensitization, indicating that MMF does not induce hapten-specific immunotolerance. In addition, MMF decreased the ability of DC to stimulate allogeneic T cells in MLR assays. Accordingly, flow cytometric analyses revealed a dose-dependent reduction of the expression of CD40, CD80, CD86, I-A, and ICAM-1 on DC with a concurrent reduction of IL-12 production. These data suggest that MMF, in addition to affecting T lymphocytes, directly affects APC, resulting in an impairment of immune responses. They furthermore point to a possible role of inosine 5'-monophosphate dehydrogenase in the maturation of DC. 相似文献

Basic FGF and TGF-beta differentially modulate integrin expression of human microvascular endothelial cells. 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) are known to alter the migratory and proliferative capacity of endothelial cells in vitro and to stimulate angiogenesis in vivo. One mechanism by which these cytokines induce their effects may be through the regulation of integrin adhesion receptor expression and activity. We examined the ability of these growth factors to modulate the expression of specific integrins in human microvascular endothelial cells (MEC). Immunoprecipitation of metabolically labeled MEC showed that bFGF upregulated the biosynthesis of alpha 2, alpha 5, beta 1, and beta 3. bFGF induced an increase in the levels of mRNA for alpha 2 and beta 1. TGF-beta increased synthesis of alpha 2, alpha 5, and beta 1. These results suggest that bFGF and TGF-beta selectively alter integrin profiles and influence interactions of MEC with the extracellular matrix during neovascularization. In particular, the upregulation of the collagen/laminin receptor, alpha 2 beta 1, by bFGF may provide activated endothelial cells with an enhanced capacity to migrate through both their underlying basement membrane and the interstitial matrix. 相似文献

Survival, maturation, and function of CD11c- and CD11c+ peripheral blood dendritic cells are differentially regulated by cytokines. 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
N Kohrgruber N Halanek M Gr?ger D Winter K Rappersberger M Schmitt-Egenolf G Stingl D Maurer 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》1999,163(6):3250-3259
Two types of dendritic cells (DC) are circulating in human blood and can be identified by their differential expression of the myeloid Ag CD11c. In this study, we show that CD11c- peripheral blood (PB)-DC correspond to plasmacytoid DC of lymphoid tissue not only by their surface Ag expression profile but, more impressively, by their peculiar ultramorphology. We also demonstrate that CD11c- and CD11c+ DC differ in the quality of their response to and in their requirement for certain cytokines. Freshly isolated CD11c- cells depend on IL-3 for survival and use autocrine or exogenous TNF-alpha as maturation signal, leading to the appearance of a highly dendritic phenotype, the up-regulation and redistribution of MHC class II from lysosomal compartments to the plasma membrane, the increased expression of costimulatory molecules, and the switch from a high Ag-processing to a low Ag-processing/potent accessory cell mode. Surprisingly, IL-4 efficiently killed freshly isolated CD11c- PB-DC, but did not impair the viability of CD11c+ PB-DC and, together with GM-CSF, induced maturation of these cells. A direct functional comparison revealed that neo-Ag-modified and subsequently matured CD11c- but to a lesser extent CD11c+ DC were able to prime naive Ag-specific CD4+ T cells. Our findings show that two diverse DC types respond to certain T cell-derived cytokines in a differential manner and, thus, suggest that suppression or activation of functionally diverse DC types may be a novel mechanism for the regulation of the quantity and quality of immune responses. 相似文献

Lycium barbarum polysaccharides regulate phenotypic and functional maturation of murine dendritic cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Lycium barbarum polysaccharides (LBPs) have been known to have a variety of immunomodulatory functions including activation of T cells, B cells and NK cells. Dendritic cells (DC) are potent antigen-presenting cells that play pivotal roles in the initiation of the primary immune response. However, little is known about the immunomodulatory effects of LBPs on murine bone marrow derived dendritic cells (BMDC). In the present study, the effects of LBPs on the phenotypic and functional maturation of murine BMDC were investigated in vitro. Compared to the BMDC that were only subjected to treatment with RPMI1640, the co-expression of I-A/I-E, CD11c and secretion of IL-12 p40 by BMDC stimulated with LBPs (100 microg/ml) were increased. In addition, the endocytosis of FITC-dextran by LBPs-treated BMDC (100 microg/ml) was impaired, whereas the activation of proliferation of allogenic lymphocytes by BMDC was enhanced. Our results strongly suggest that LBPs are capable of promoting both the phenotypic and functional maturation of murine BMDC in vitro. 相似文献

The differential expression of surface molecules on dendritic cells (DC) reflects their functional differences as immature and mature subsets. It is difficult, however, to characterize differences in surface expression by standard proteomic approaches, due mainly to the hydrophobic nature and low abundance of the individual proteins in question. We have established a method for obtaining high-yield plasmalemma preparations which contain surface molecules enriched more than 200-fold by coating cells with beads conjugated with antibody against a cell type-specific cell-surface molecule, followed by nitrogen cavitated disruption, magnetic separation, and density gradient ultracentrifugation. We identified and quantified 339 human monocyte-derived DC transmembrane proteins, including 33 previously uncharacterized molecules. Whereas 106 proteins were selectively expressed in immature cells or down-regulated after maturation, 191 proteins were selectively expressed in mature cells or up-regulated after maturation. 相似文献

Normal proportion and expression of maturation markers in migratory dendritic cells in the absence of germs or Toll-like receptor signaling 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Dendritic cells (DCs) play major roles in immunosurveillance. In peripheral tissues, 'immature' DCs are dedicated to capturing antigens. Detection of pathogens through Toll-like receptors (TLRs) triggers DC migration to the lymph nodes (LNs), where they acquire a 'mature' phenotype specialized at presenting antigens. However, DCs migrate from tissues and mature even in the absence of overt infections. This has been attributed to detection of commensal flora in the skin, the gut or other peripheral tissues in the steady state. To test this assumption, we have analyzed the DCs contained in the lymphoid organs of germ-free mice and of mice lacking the TLR adapter molecules, MyD88 and TRIF. We show that the proportion and expression of maturation markers in DC immigrants in the LNs of these mice are similar to those in normal mice. These results suggest that DC migration from tissues, followed by their phenotypic maturation, is regulated in the steady state by an inherent program of DC differentiation or by the release of low levels of inflammatory signals from normal tissues. 相似文献

Activation of Notch by Jagged-1 may plays a pivotal role in maturation of dendritic cells (DCs), but the mechanism has not been completely defined. In the present study, Hes-1 (Hairy/enhancer-of-split)-targeting siRNA was used to confirm a role of Jagged-1-Notch signaling pathway activation in maturation of murine bone marrow-derived DCs and to search for a target that plays a critical role. The results showed that compared with the control, lipopolysaccharide or Zymosan A groups, Jagged-1 (a soluble Jagged 1/Fc chimera protein) effectively increased expression of Hes-1 and Deltex-1 mRNA, which could be reversed by DAPT (2, 4-diamino-5-phenylthiazole), a specific inhibitor of the Notch signaling pathway. Hes-1-targeting siRNA could successfully down-regulate the endogenous Hes-1 expression in the DCs. Concurrently, a significant down-regulation of CD40, CD80, CD86 and MHC-II expressions on the surface of the DCs was found with the reduction of IL-12 yielded by the DCs. Our results demonstrate that Hes-1-targeting siRNA can inhibit the maturation of the DCs induced by Jagged-1, indicating Hes-1 may be an important target of Notch signaling mediating the maturation of DCs. 相似文献

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess immunosuppressive properties. But also fully differentiated human renal tubular epithelial cells (RTECs) are able to modulate T-cell proliferation in vitro. In this study we compared two MSC populations, human adipose derived stem cells (ASCs) and human amniotic mesenchymal stromal cells (hAMSCs), and RTECs regarding their potential to inhibit monocyte-derived dendritic cell (DC) differentiation and maturation in indirect co-culture.In the presence of hAMSCs and RTECs, monocytes stimulated to undergo DC differentiation were inhibited to acquire surface phenotype of immature and mature DCs. In contrast, ASCs showed only limited suppressive capacity. Secretion of IL-12p70 was suppressed in hAMSC co-cultures and high IL-10 levels were detected in all co-cultures. Prostaglandin E2 was found in ASC and hAMSC co-cultures, whereas soluble human leukocyte antigen-G was highly elevated only in RTEC co-cultures. Thus, inhibition of DC generation by MSCs and RTECs might be mediated by different soluble factors. 相似文献

Aspirin inhibits in vitro maturation and in vivo immunostimulatory function of murine myeloid dendritic cells 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
Hackstein H Morelli AE Larregina AT Ganster RW Papworth GD Logar AJ Watkins SC Falo LD Thomson AW 《Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950)》2001,166(12):7053-7062
Aspirin is the most commonly used analgesic and antiinflammatory agent. In this study, at physiological concentrations, it profoundly inhibited CD40, CD80, CD86, and MHC class II expression on murine, GM-CSF + IL-4 stimulated, bone marrow-derived myeloid dendritic cells (DC). CD11c and MHC class I expression were unaffected. The inhibitory action was dose dependent and was evident at concentrations higher than those necessary to inhibit PG synthesis. Experiments with indomethacin revealed that the effects of aspirin on DC maturation were cyclooxygenase independent. Nuclear extracts of purified, aspirin-treated DC revealed a decreased NF-kappaB DNA-binding activity, whereas Ab supershift analysis indicated that aspirin targeted primarily NF-kappaB p50. Unexpectedly, aspirin promoted the generation of CD11c+ DC, due to apparent suppression of granulocyte development. The morphological and ultrastructural appearance of aspirin-treated cells was consistent with immaturity. Aspirin-treated DC were highly efficient at Ag capture, via both mannose receptor-mediated endocytosis and macropinocytosis. By contrast, they were poor stimulators of naive allogeneic T cell proliferation and induced lower levels of IL-2 in responding T cells. They also exhibited impaired IL-12 expression and did not produce IL-10 after LPS stimulation. Assessment of the in vivo function of aspirin-treated DC, pulsed with the hapten trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid, revealed an inability to induce normal cell-mediated contact hypersensitivity, despite the ability of the cells to migrate to T cell areas of draining lymphoid tissue. These data provide new insight into the immunopharmacology of aspirin and suggest a novel approach to the manipulation of DC for therapeutic application. 相似文献

The role of intracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+i) on hematopoiesis was investigated in long term bone marrow cultures using cytokines and agonists of P2 receptors. Cytokines interleukin 3 and granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulator factor promoted a modest increase in Ca2+i concentration ([Ca2+]i) with activation of phospholipase Cgamma, MEK1/2, and Ca2+/calmodulin kinase II. Involvement of protein kinase C was restricted to stimulation with interleukin 3. In addition, these cytokines promoted proliferation (20 times) and an increase in the Gr-1(-)Mac-1+ population with participation of gap junctions (GJ). Nevertheless ATP, ADP, and UTP promoted a large increase in [Ca2+]i, moderate proliferation (6 times), a reduction in the primitive Gr-1(-)Mac-1(-)c-Kit+ population, and differentiation into macrophages without participation of GJ. It is likely that Ca2+i participates as a regulator of hematopoietic signaling: moderate increases in [Ca2+]i would be related to cytokine-dependent proliferation with participation of GJ, whereas high increases in [Ca2+]i would be related to macrophage differentiation without maintenance of the primitive population. 相似文献

Progesterone (Prog), a female sex steroid hormone, not only plays an important role in the female mammary pregnancy but also influences the immune response. In the present study, murine spleen CD11c-positive dendritic cells (SDCs) were treated with various concentrations of Prog for 24 h, and their viability, phenotype, nuclear factor kappa B P65 (NF-kappaB P65), endocytosis, stimulatory capacity, and cytokine expression were analyzed. The results showed that Prog increased the expressions of MHC-II and CD40, stimulatory capacity and intracellular levels of IL-6 and IL-10, while decreased the expressions of CD54 and IL-12, endocytosis and nuclear level of NF-kappaB P65 of SDCs. These data suggested that Prog may promote the maturation of SDCs and enhance their ability to interact with T cells so as to change the course of autoimmune diseases. 相似文献

The Lyn tyrosine kinase differentially regulates dendritic cell generation and maturation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The Src family kinase Lyn plays both stimulatory and inhibitory roles in hemopoietic cells. In this report we provide evidence that Lyn is involved in dendritic cell (DC) generation and maturation. Loss of Lyn promoted DC expansion in vitro from bone marrow precursors due to enhanced generation and accelerated differentiation of Lyn-deficient DC progenitors. Differentiated Lyn-deficient DCs also had a higher survival rate. Similarly, the CD11c-positive cell number was increased in aged Lyn-deficient mice in vivo. In contrast to their enhanced generation, lyn-/- DCs failed to mature appropriately in response to innate stimuli, resulting in DCs with lower levels of MHC class II and costimulatory molecules. In addition, IL-12 production and Ag-specific T cell activation were reduced in lyn-/- DCs after maturation, resulting in impaired Th1 responses. This is the first study to characterize Lyn-deficient DCs. Our results suggest that Lyn kinase plays uniquely negative and positive regulatory roles in DC generation and maturation, respectively. 相似文献

Cell-surface proteoglycans have been known to be involved in many functions including interactions with components of the extracellular microenvironment, and act as co-receptors which bind and modify the action of various growth factors and cytokines. The purpose of this study was to determine the regulation by growth factors and cytokines on cell-surface proteoglycan gene expression in cultured human periodontal ligament (PDL) cells. Subconfluent, quiescent PDL cells were treated with various concentrations of serum, bFGF, PDGF-BB, TGF-beta1, IL-beta1, and IFN-gamma. RT-PCR technique was used, complemented with Northern blot for syndecan-1, to examine the effects of these agents on the mRNA expression of five cell-surface proteoglycans (syndecan-1, syndecan-2, syndecan-4, glypican and betaglycan). Syndecan-1 mRNA levels increased in response to serum, bFGF and PDGF-BB, but decreased in response to TGF-beta1, IL-1beta and IFN-gamma. In contrast, syndecan-2 mRNA levels were upregulated by TGF-beta1 and IL-1beta stimulation, but remained unchanged with the other agents. Betaglycan gene expression decreased in response to serum, but was upregulated by TGF-beta1 and unchanged by the other stimulants. Additionally, syndecan-4 and glypican were not significantly altered in response to the regulator molecules studied, with the exception that glypican is decreased in response to IFN-gamma. These data demonstrate that the gene expression of the five cell-surface proteoglycans studied is differentially regulated in PDL cells lending support to the notion of distinct functions for these cell-surface proteoglycans. 相似文献

Acidic polysaccharides isolated from Phellinus linteus induce phenotypic and functional maturation of murine dendritic cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Acidic polysaccharides (PL) isolated from Phellinus linteus are known to stimulate the proliferation of T lymphocytes and humoral immune functions to act as a polyclonal activator of B cells, and to inhibit tumor growth and metastasis. However, little is known about their immunomodulating effects or the effects of its mechanisms on murine bone marrow (BM)-derived dendritic cells (DC). In this study, it profoundly increased CD80, CD86, MHC I, and MHC II expression in murine, GM-CSF and IL-4 stimulated, BM-derived myeloid DC. The ability of unstimulated DC to uptake dextran was higher than that of PL- or LPS-stimulated DC. We analyzed the concentration of IL-12 secreted by DC using flow cytometry and ELISA. Untreated DC secreted a low concentration of IL-12, while PL- or LPS-stimulated DC secreted higher levels of IL-12 than untreated DC. There were no remarkable differences in the concentrations of IL-12 produced by PL- or LPS-stimulated DC. However, polymyxin B (PB; an LPS inhibitor) effectively inhibited the surface molecules and IL-12 production induced by LPS, but had no effect on the PL in DC. PL-treated DC were much more potent antigen-presenting cells in allogeneic immune response than untreated DC. PL treatment not only formed morphologically mature DC but also induced predominant migration to lymphoid tissues. Moreover, the inhibitors of protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) or protein kinase C (PKC) significantly blocked the expression of surface molecules and IL-12 production in PL-stimulated DC. Treatment of DC with PL directly induced PKC activity and phosphorylated PTK. Furthermore, CD11b and/or CD18 partially mediated PL-induced DC maturation. 相似文献

Pro-inflammatory cytokines play a vital role in the pathogenesis of alcoholic steatohepatitis. The present study was to determine the role of alcohol-induced oxidative stress in modulating cytokine production. A rat model of alcohol consumption was used to determine alcohol-induced hepatic cytokine expression. Chronic alcohol exposure caused lipid accumulation, oxidative stress, and inflammation in the livers of Wistar rats. The role of oxidative stress in regulating cell type-specific cytokine production was further dissected in vitro. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) dose-dependently upregulated TNF-α, MIP-1α, MCP-1, and CINC-1 in Kupffer cells-SV40, whereas TNF-α dose-dependently induced CINC-1, IP-10, and MIP-2 expression in H4IIEC3 hepatoma cells. An additive effect on cytokine production was observed in both Kupffer cells-SV40 and hepatocytes when combined hydrogen peroxide with LPS or TNF-α, respectively, which was associated with NF-κB activation and histone H3 hyper-acetylation. Unexpectedly, an inhibitory effect of 4-hydroxynonenal on cytokine production was revealed in LPS-treated Kupffer cells-SV40. Mechanistic study showed that 4-hydroxynonenal significantly enhanced mRNA degradation of TNF-α, MCP-1, and MIP-1α, and decreased the protein levels of MCP-1 in LPS-stimulated Kupffer cells-SV40 through reducing the phosphorylation of mRNA binding proteins. This study suggests that Kupffer cells and hepatocytes express distinct pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines in response to alcohol intoxication, and oxidative products (4-hydroxynonenal) differentially modulate pro-inflammatory cytokine/chemokine production via NF-κB signaling, histone acetylation, and mRNA stability. 相似文献
