2B4: an NK cell activating receptor with unique specificity and signal transduction mechanism 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
2B4 is a cell surface glycoprotein of the Ig-superfamily structurally related to CD2-like molecules such as CD2, CD48, CD58, CD84, Ly-9, and SLAM. Engagement of 2B4 on NK cells with specific antibodies or with its ligand CD48 enhances NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. 2B4 is also expressed on both CD8+ T cells and myeloid cells, but its function in these cells remains unknown. Signal transduction through 2B4 involves recruitment of the SH2-containing adapter molecule SAP to cytoplasmic tyrosines. SAP is deficient in patients affected by X-linked lymphoproliferative disorder (XLP), which is triggered following EBV infection. Thus, an interruption of signaling through 2B4 and related molecules may impair NK cell recognition of virally infected cells and contribute to XLP. 相似文献

X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) is a rare primary immunodeficiency affecting approximately 1–2 per 1 million males. A key feature of XLP is the exquisite sensitivity of affected individuals to disease induced following EBV infection. However, patients can also develop hypogammaglobulinemia and B-cell lymphoma independently of exposure to EBV. XLP is caused by loss-of function mutations in SH2D1A, which encodes the intracellular adaptor molecule SAP. SAP is predominantly expressed in T cells and NK cells, and functions to regulate signal transduction pathways downstream of the SLAM family of surface receptors to control CD4+ T cell (and by extension B cells), CD8+ T cell and NK cell function, as well as the development of NKT cells. The study of XLP had shed substantial light on the requirements for lymphocyte differentiation and immune regulation, which in turn have the potential to be translated into novel treatments for not only XLP patients but individuals affected by EBV-induced disease, impaired humoral immunity and malignancy. 相似文献

SH2D1A, which encodes signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM)-associated protein (SAP), is altered in patients with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP), a primary immunodeficiency. SAP-deficient mice infected with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus had greatly increased numbers of CD8+ and CD4+ interferon-gamma-producing spleen and liver cells compared to wild-type mice. The immune responses of SAP-deficient mice to infection with Leishmania major together with in vitro studies showed that activated SAP-deficient T cells had an impaired ability to differentiate into T helper 2 cells. The aberrant immune responses in SAP-deficient mice show that SAP controls several distinct key T cell signal transduction pathways, which explains in part the complexity of the XLP phenotypes. 相似文献

We have analysed the phenotype of T lymphocytes in two X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) patients with the same SH2D1A mutation differing in initial exposure to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and treatment. While memory T lymphocytes (with low CCR7 and CD62L expression) prevailed in both XLP patients, in patient 9, who developed acute infectious mononucleosis (AIM) and received B cell ablative treatment, the predominant phenotype was that of late effector CD8 T cells (CD27-, CD28-, CCR7-, CD62L-, CD45 RA+, perforin+), while in patient 4 (who did not suffer AIM) the prevalent phenotype of CD8 T lymphocytes was similar to that of normal controls (N) or to that of adult individuals who recovered from AIM: CD27+ , CD28+, CCR7-, CD62L-, CD45 RO+ and perforin-. CD57 expression (related to senescence) was also higher in CD8 T cells from patient 9 than in patient 4, AIM or N. Persistently high EBV viral load was observed in patient 9. The results obtained from this limited number of XLP patients suggest that events related to the initial EBV encounter (antigen load, treatment, cytokine environment) may have more weight than lack of SH2D1A in determining the long-term differentiation pattern of CD8 memory T cells. 相似文献

SAP, the gene that is altered or absent in the X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome (XLP), encodes a small protein that comprises a single SH2 domain and binds to the cell-surface protein SLAM which is present on activated or memory T and B cells. Because defective NK cell activity also has been reported in XLP patients, we studied the SAP gene in NK cells. SAP was induced upon viral infection of SCID mice and shown to be expressed in NK cells by in vitro culturing in the presence of IL-2. Moreover, SAP was expressed in the NK cell lines YT and RNK 16. Because SLAM, the cell-surface protein with which SAP interacts, and 2B4, a membrane protein having sequence homologies with SLAM, also were found to be expressed on the surfaces of activated NK and T cell populations, they may access SAP functions in these populations. Whereas we found that 2B4 also binds SAP, 2B4-SAP interactions occurred only upon tyrosine phosphorylation of 2B4. By contrast, SLAM-SAP interactions were independent of phosphorylation of Y281 and Y327 on SLAM. As CD48, the ligand for 2B4, is expressed on the surface of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-infected B cells, it is likely that SAP regulates signal transduction through this pair of cell-surface molecules. These data support the hypothesis that XLP is a result of both defective NK and T lymphocyte responses to EBV. The altered responses may be due to aberrant control of the signaling cascades which are initiated by the SLAM-SLAM and 2B4-CD48 interactions. 相似文献

The unique manifestation of the inherited immunodeficiency, X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP), is the impaired control of EBV infection. The gene, which carries mutations or is deleted in the patients, has been identified (Xq25). The encoded protein (SAP, 128 aa) contains a single SH2 domain and binds to signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM) and to other related surface molecules that are expressed on activated T, B and NK cells. SAP modifies signal transduction through its association with these molecules. Initially it was assumed that SAP acts passively by interfering and blocking active interactions involving other SH2 carrying molecules. We demonstrated that SAP protein is expressed in activated T and NK, but not in activated B cells. This finding is in line with the fact that in vitro performance of effector cells derived from XLP patients is impaired. However, it is still not known why the severe symptoms (fatal mononucleosis or malignant lymphoproliferation in the survivors of the primary infection) are elicited by EBV. We studied SAP expression in several Burkitt lymphoma (BL) derived lines. In contrast to normal B cells, certain lines expressed SAP. These were all type I cells in the Burkitt line nomenclature: they expressed only one of the EBV encoded proteins (EBNA-1) and their phenotype corresponded to resting B cells. Lymphoblastoid cell lines and type III BLs, whose phenotype resembled activated B cells and expressed all nine EBV encoded proteins, were devoid of SAP. The relationship between cell activation and SAP expression is reciprocal in T and B cells i.e. BL lines, activated T and NK cells express SAP, while BL blasts do not express SAP. This opposite relationship may be exploited for studies about the function of SAP. 相似文献

Summary: X‐linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) is an inherited immune defect caused by mutations in the Src homology 2 domain‐containing gene 1A, which encodes the adapter protein, signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM)‐associated protein (SAP). SAP is expressed in T cells, natural killer (NK) cells, and NKT cells, where it binds to the cytoplasmic domain of the surface receptor SLAM (CD150) and the related receptors, 2B4 (CD244), CD84, Ly9 (CD229), NK‐T‐B‐antigen, and CD2‐like receptor‐activating cytotoxic T cells. SAP also binds to the Src family tyrosine kinase Fyn and recruits it to SLAM, which leads to the generation of downstream phosphotyrosine signals. While the roles of the SLAM family receptors are only beginning to be understood, experiments suggest that these molecules regulate important aspects of lymphocyte function, such as proliferation, cytokine secretion, cytotoxicity, and antibody production. Thus, in XLP patients who lack functional SAP, the SLAM family receptors may not signal properly. This property likely contributes to the phenotypes of XLP, including fulminant infectious mononucleosis, lymphoma, and hypogammaglobulinemia. Further studies of SAP and the SLAM family receptors will provide insights into XLP and elucidate the signaling events regulating lymphocyte ontogeny and function. 相似文献

X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) is an inherited immunodeficiency characterized by extreme vulnerability to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, resulting in fatal infectious mononucleosis, dysgammaglobulinemia and malignant lymphoma. Recently, mutations in the SH2D1A gene, which encodes SLAM-associated protein (SAP), have been found to cause XLP. Although the molecular events behind XLP are largely unknown, there is evidence that affected males exhibited some immunohematological abnormalities, such as hypogammaglobulinemia or lymphoma, even prior to EBV infection. Because of the poor prognosis in XLP, an early diagnosis to patients and families is clinically of great importance. A glutathione-S-transferase-SAP fusion protein was used to immunize rats and generate mAb against human SAP to investigate its pathogenic role in XLP and develop a flow cytometric assay for detection of XLP. By flow cytometric and Western immunoblot analyses using an established anti-SAP mAb, termed KST-3, we determined that SAP was expressed intensely in thymocytes, but at lower levels in peripheral T cells and NK cells. In contrast, expression of SAP was negligible in B cells, monocytes or granulocytes. We found that SAP expression in T cells increased upon in vivo as well as in vitro activation. In two XLP survivors with SH2D1A mutations, a flow cytometric evaluation of activated T cells using KST-3 could demonstrate SAP deficiency as a diagnostic indicator of XLP. Through this approach, we identified three novel XLP families with SH2D1A mutations in Japan. A flow cytometric assessment of SAP expressed in activated T cells would lead to easy detection of XLP patients. 相似文献

Hypogammaglobulinemia is a common symptom in different immunodeficiencies. It is, however, not usually associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections. The X-linked lymphoproliferative disease (XLP) on the other hand shows immunological changes in response to the EBV. Here we report three previously healthy boys, all of which developed persistent hypogammaglobulinemia following severe acute infectious mononucleosis. All three patients revealed T-cell abnormalities including inverted CD4/CD8 and increased CD8(+) T-cell numbers. The number of IFN-gamma-producing T cells were markedly increased in the two patients studied so far. In addition, patient 2 showed mainly T cells, instead of B cells, to be infected with the EBV. Apart from an uncle of patient 3, who died of malignant lymphoma, family history was unremarkable in all cases. All three patients exhibited mutations in the SH2D1A gene, establishing the diagnosis of XLP. Protein expression was found on immunoblot analysis in one patient with a missense mutation. Development of persistent hypogammaglobulinemia after severe primary EBV infection seems to be a specific diagnostic sign for XLP even in males with unremarkable family history. 相似文献

Signaling lymphocytic activation molecule (SLAM) is a CD2-related surface receptor expressed by activated T cells and B cells. SLAM is a self ligand and enhances T cellular proliferation and IFN-gamma production. A defective SLAM associated protein (SAP) causes X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome (XLP), a frequently lethal mononucleosis based on the inability to control EBV. We report that SLAM augments TCR-mediated cytotoxicity. In normal CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, SLAM enhanced TCR-mediated cytotoxicity. In CD4(+) and CD8(+) Herpesvirus saimiri (H.saimiri) infected T cells, SLAM engagement alone triggered cytotoxicity. Using H.saimiri-transformed T cells as a model system we found that SLAM-engagement promotes the release of lytic granules and a CD95-independent killing that requires extracellular Ca(2+), cytoskeletal rearrangements, and signaling mediated by mitogen-activated protein kinase kinases MEK1/2. SLAM-enhanced cytotoxicity implies an immunoregulatory function by facilitating the elimination of APC and a role in overcoming infections with pathogens requiring a cytotoxic immune response. 相似文献

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection has been implicated in accelerated T cell ageing. End‐stage renal disease (ESRD) patients have a severely immunologically aged T cell compartment but also a high prevalence of CMV infection. We investigated whether CMV infection contributes to T cell ageing in ESRD patients. We determined the thymic output by the T cell receptor excision circle (TREC) content and percentage of CD31+ naïve T cells. The proliferative history of the T cell compartment by determination of the relative telomere length (RTL) and the T cell differentiation status was determined by immunophenotyping. It appeared that CMV infection did not affect thymic output but reduced RTL of CD8+ T cells in ESRD patients. Moreover, increased T cell differentiation was observed with higher percentages of CD57+ and CD28null CD4+ and CD8+ memory T cells. These CD28null T cells had significantly shorter telomeres compared to CD28+ T cells. Therefore we concluded that CMV infection does not affect the decreased thymic output but increases T cell differentiation as observed in ESRD‐related premature T cell ageing. 相似文献

The failure of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-specific CD8+ T cells to control chronic HIV-1 infection could be due to the progressive loss of their capacities to undergo normal memory effector differentiation. We characterized and compared the expressions of CD27, CD28, CD57, and CD62L by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-, cytomegalovirus (CMV)-, and HIV-1-specific CD8+ T cells by six-color, eight-parameter flow cytometry. In contrast to the maturation of EBV- and CMV-specific memory CD8+ T cells, we found that HIV-1-specific CD8+ T cells did not display coordinated down-regulation of CD27 and up-regulation of CD57 and accumulated in an atypical CD27(high) CD57(low) subset. Moreover, the accumulation of CD27(high) CD57(low) HIV-1-specific CD8+ T cells was positively correlated with HIV-1 plasma viremia. The differentiation of HIV-1-specific CD8+ T cells to an effector subset is therefore impaired during chronic HIV-1 infection. This lack of normal CD8+ T-cell differentiation could contribute to the failure of cellular immune control of HIV-1 infection. 相似文献

Cycling lymphocytes may express the enzyme telomerase which is involved in maintenance of telomere length and cell proliferation potential. In CD8(+) T cells freshly isolated from peripheral blood, we found that in vivo cycling cells expressed HLA-DR. Furthermore, CD28-positive cells are known to have longer telomeres than CD28-negative T cells. Therefore we used HLA-DR- and CD28-specific antibodies to sort CD8(+) T cells and measure telomerase activity ex vivo. Relatively high levels of telomerase activity were found in HLA-DR/CD28 double-positive cells. In contrast, HLA-DR-negative and CD28-negative cells had almost no telomerase activity. In summary, HLA-DR expression correlates with proliferation, and CD28 expression with proliferative potential. We have previously identified that ex vivo cytolytic CD8(+) T cells are CD56 (NCAM) positive. Here we show that HLA-DR(+) cells were rarely CD56(+) and vice versa. This demonstrates that telomerase-expressing and cytolytic CD8(+) T cells can be separated on the basis of the cell surface markers HLA-DR and CD56. Thus, activated CD8(+) T cells specialize and exert distinct functions correlating with surface molecule expression. 相似文献

Chronic active Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection has been recognized as clonal non-neoplastic lymphoproliferative diseases. However, some reports of cases with a multiphenotypic expansion of EBV-infected lymphocytes give rise to questions of how EBV infects multiphenotypic lymphocytes and whether chronic active EBV infection is a truly monoclonal lymphoproliferative disease. We report two patients with chronic active EBV infection who showed expansion of multiphenotypic EBV-infected lymphocytes. EBV DNA was detected in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and in B cells from pleural fluid of one patient and in T and B cells from a cervical lymph node of the other patient by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Although real-time PCR showed that there were equally high loads of EBV genomes in CD4+ and CD8+ T cells from the pleural fluid, Southern blot hybridization with terminal repeats of the EBV genome showed a single band of the same molecular weight in three tissue samples from the patient. The results indicated biphenotypic expansions of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells infected with the same clone of EBV. Furthermore, bisulfite PCR analysis showed hypermethylated status in the Cp region in the two patients regardless of their cell populations. There has been a discrepancy between clonality and expansion of multiphenotypic EBV-infected lymphocytes. We speculate that lymphoid progenitor cells that have not differentiated into T and B cell progenitors are infected with EBV, resulting in clonal expansion of EBV-infected multiphenotypic cells. 相似文献

To evaluate whether the immune system of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients shows features of premature aging, we compared telomere length and proliferative potential of SLE peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) (N = 90) to those of controls (N = 64). SLE samples showed accelerated loss of telomeric DNA (P = 0.00008) and higher levels of senescent (< or =5 kb) telomeric DNA (P = 0.00003). Viability cell counts and CFSE tracking in 6-week-old cell cultures indicated that SLE PBMC (CD8+ and CD4+ T cells) underwent fewer mitotic cycles and had shorter telomeres than controls (P = 0.04). However, a CD8(+)CD28(lo) T cell subset expanded preferentially in SLE-derived bulk cultures (P = 0.0009), preserved telomeric DNA (P = 0.01 vs entire CD8+), and displayed telomerase activity [2.1 telomerase arbitrary units (TAU) vs 0.5 TAU in CD8+CD28(hi) cells and 0.3 TAU in bulk PBMC; P = 0.05]. These T cell anomalies could be due to chronic in vivo stimulation of the immune system and may contribute to the immune dysregulation found in SLE. 相似文献

Altered CD8+ T cell responses to selected Epstein-Barr virus immunodominant epitopes in patients with multiple sclerosis 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
An increased frequency of antiviral CD8+ T cells is seen in chronic viral infections. During herpes virus infections the expanded CD8+ T cells are thought to control the reactivation of the latent infection. Because multiple sclerosis (MS), a presumed autoimmune disease of the central nervous system, has been associated with a late Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, we wished to examine whether the CD8+ T cell response to EBV epitopes differed between MS patients and healthy controls. Here we report an increased frequency of CD8+ T cells responding to EBV epitopes from nuclear antigen 3 A (HLA-A2/CLG) and latent membrane protein 2 (HLA-B7/RPP) in MS patients. Noticeably, the altered CD8+ T cell response occurred to some but not all EBV epitopes and did not reach the high level seen during acute infection. The responses towards two immunodominant epitopes from human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) were similar in MS patients and normal controls. Together, our data demonstrate the presence of an increased frequency of CD8+ T cells reacting with two epitopes from EBV in patients with MS. The altered response to only two of the tested EBV epitopes would be consistent with the presence of cross-reactive epitopes. 相似文献

We examined the effect of both CD3-CD16(Leul la)+CD56(NKH1,Leu19)+ non-T lineage natural killer (NK) cells and CD3+CD8+CD16-CD56+ T lineage NK cells on B cell proliferation and differentiation. Fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) purified CD16+CD56+ cells suppressed pokeweed mitogen (PWM) induced immunoglobulin synthesis. However, the T lineage NK cells tended to suppress immunoglobulin synthesis only when CD8+ cells were eliminated from the culture, and even then CD16+ NK cells suppressed antibody production more efficiently than did CD3+CD8+ NK cells. CD16+ NK cells did not suppress B cell proliferative responses to several mitogens. CD16+ NK cells from patients with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, who showed the high percentage of CD16+ NK cells, did not inhibit immunoglobulin synthesis. We concluded that non-T NK cells are the major immunoregulatory NK cells for immunoglobulin synthesis in normal immune systems, and that they suppress immunoglobulin synthesis through their action on B cell differentiation. 相似文献

We have studied cellular interactions among thyrocytes, intrathyroidal T cells and peripheral blood T cells from Graves' patients. In the autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction of Graves' patients, CD4+ cells were able to proliferate vigorously against autologous non-T cells, whereas CD8+ cells responded weakly to non-T cell stimulators. Furthermore, the proliferative response of the CD4+ 2H4+ suppressor-inducer T cell subset was increased like that of the CD4+ 2H4- helper T cell subset. In contrast to peripheral blood non-T cell stimulators, thyrocytes and intrathyroidal T cells had the ability to activate the CD4+ 2H4- helper T cell subset but were not able to cause proliferation both of CD4+ 2H4+ suppressor-inducer T cell and CD8+ suppressor/cytotoxic T cell subsets. The marked reduction in proliferative responses of CD4+ 2H4+ cells and CD8+ cells could not be attributed to a difference in kinetics or altered response to variable number of stimulator cells. On the basis of these findings, it is suggested that the concentration of the helper T cell subset may be progressively increased and suppressor circuits may be unable to be activated in thyroid tissues. These abnormalities in cellular interactions may induce the excessive production of autoantibodies. 相似文献

X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome (XLP; Duncan's disease) is a primary immunodeficiency disease that manifests as an inability to regulate the immune response to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection. Here we examine the ability of the product of the gene defective in XLP, SAP (DSHP/SH2D1A), to associate with the cytoplasmic domains of several members of the CD2 subfamily of cell surface receptors, including SLAM, 2B4, and CD84. While recruitment of SAP to SLAM occurred in a phosphorylation-independent manner, SAP was found to bind preferentially to tyrosine-phosphorylated cytoplasmic domains within 2B4 and CD84. Missense or nonsense mutations in the SAP open reading frame were identified in five of seven clinically diagnosed XLP patients from different kindreds. Four of these variants retained the ability to bind to the cytoplasmic tails of SLAM and CD84. While ectopic expression of wild-type SAP was observed to block the binding of SHP-2 to SLAM, mutant SAP derivatives that retained the ability to bind SLAM did not inhibit recruitment of SHP-2 to SLAM. In contrast, SAP binding to CD84 had no effect on the ability of CD84 to recruit SHP-2, but instead displaced SHP-1 from the cytoplasmic tail of CD84. These results suggest that mutations in the gene encoding the XLP protein SAP lead to functional defects in the protein that include receptor binding and SHP-1 and SHP-2 displacement and that SAP utilizes different mechanisms to regulate signaling through the CD2 family of receptors. 相似文献

X‐linked lymphoproliferative disease 1 (XLP1) is an inherited immunodeficiency, caused by mutations in SH2D1A encoding Signaling Lymphocyte Activation Molecule (SLAM)‐associated protein (SAP). In XLP1, 2B4, upon engagement with CD48, has inhibitory instead of activating function. This causes a selective inability of cytotoxic effectors to kill EBV‐infected cells, with dramatic clinical sequelae. Here, we investigated the NK cell education in XLP1, upon characterization of killer Ig‐like receptor (KIR)/KIR‐L genotype and phenotypic repertoire of self‐HLA class I specific inhibitory NK receptors (self‐iNKRs). We also analyzed NK‐cell cytotoxicity against CD48+ or CD48? KIR‐ligand matched or autologous hematopoietic cells in XLP1 patients and healthy controls. XLP1 NK cells may show a defective phenotypic repertoire with substantial proportion of cells lacking self‐iNKR. These NK cells are cytotoxic and the inhibitory 2B4/CD48 pathway plays a major role to prevent killing of CD48+ EBV‐transformed B cells and M1 macrophages. Importantly, self‐iNKR defective NK cells kill CD48? targets, such as mature DCs. Self‐iNKR? NK cells in XLP1 patients are functional even in resting conditions, suggesting a role of the inhibitory 2B4/CD48 pathway in the education process during NK‐cell maturation. Killing of autologous mature DC by self‐iNKR defective XLP1 NK cells may impair adaptive responses, further exacerbating the patients’ immune defect. 相似文献
