The IL-1 receptor 1 is critical for Th2 cell type airway immune responses in a mild but not in a more severe asthma model 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
IL-1 alpha and IL-1 beta are potent pro-inflammatory cytokines that regulate many physiological systems by binding and signaling to the same receptor termed IL-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1R1). We have investigated the role of IL-1 for pulmonary immune responses in models of allergic asthma using IL-1R1-deficient (IL-1R1(-/-)) mice. In a model of mild asthma, based on repeated sensitization of mice with low doses of ovalbumin in the absence of any adjuvant and multiple intranasal challenges, the pulmonary eosinophilic inflammation and goblet cell hyperplasia were strongly reduced in IL-1R1(-/-) as compared to control BALB/c mice. Moreover, priming of CD4(+) T cells in bronchial lymph nodes and their recruitment to the lung was affected in IL-1R1(-/-) mice associated with impaired antibody responses including IgG, IgE, and IgA. In contrast, sensitization of mice in the presence of alum adjuvant, a more severe asthma model, rendered the IL-1 pathway dispensable for the development of pulmonary allergic Th2 responses, as eosinophilic inflammation, antibody responses, and CD4(+) T cell priming in lymph nodes were comparable between IL-1R1(-/-) and wild-type mice. These results suggest a critical role of IL-1/IL-1R1 for development of allergic Th2 responses, but its requirement can be overcome by using alum as adjuvant for sensitization. 相似文献

Astragaloside IV is the chief ingredient of Radix Astragali, which has been used in the Traditional Chinese Medicine as a major component of many polyherbal formulations for the repair and regeneration of injured organ and tissues. We tested the anti-asthmatic effects of AST IV and the possible mechanisms. BALB/c mice that were sensitized and challenged to ovalbumin (OVA) were treated with AST IV (40 mg/kg and 20 mg/kg) 1 h before they were challenged with OVA. Our study demonstrated that AST IV inhibited OVA-induced increases in eosinophil count; interleukin (IL)-4 level were recovered in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid increased IFN-γ and IL-10 levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Histological studies demonstrated that AST IV substantially inhibited OVA-induced eosinophilia in lung tissue. Flow cytometry studies demonstrated that AST IV substantially increased CD4+CD25+Foxp3 T cells (Treg). Furthermore quantitative real-time (qPCR) studies demonstrated that AST IV substantially enhanced Foxp3 mRNA expression in lung tissue. These findings suggest that AST IV may effectively ameliorate the progression of airway inflammation and could be used as a therapy for patients with allergic inflammation. 相似文献

CD44 is a cell adhesion molecule involved in lymphocyte infiltration of inflamed tissues. We previously demonstrated that CD44 plays an important role in the development of airway inflammation in a murine model of allergic asthma. In this study, we investigated the role of CD44 expressed on CD4(+) T cells in the accumulation of T-helper type 2 (Th2) cells in the airway using CD44-deficient mice and anti-CD44 monoclonal antibodies. Antigen-induced Th2-mediated airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in sensitized mice were reduced by CD44-deficiency. These asthmatic responses induced by the transfer of antigen-sensitized splenic CD4(+) T cells from CD44-deficient mice were weaker than those from WT mice. Lack of CD44 failed to induce AHR by antigen challenge. Expression level and hyaluronic acid receptor activity of CD44, as well as Neu1 sialidase expression on antigen-specific Th2 cells, were higher than those on antigen-specific Th1 cells. Anti-CD44 antibody preferentially suppressed the accumulation of those Th2 cells in the airway induced by antigen challenge. Our findings indicate that CD44 expressed on CD4(+) T cells plays a critical role in the accumulation of antigen-specific Th2 cells, but not Th1 cells, in the airway and in the development of AHR induced by antigen challenge. 相似文献

We showed in a previous study that hot-water extracts of Agaricus blazei (Agaricus extracts) had anti-tumor activity to Meth A fibrosarcoma, but it remains unclear whether the Agaricus extracts ameliorate the skewed balance of type-1 T helper (Th1) and type-2 T helper (Th2) cells. We examined whether Agaricus extracts effect the skewed Th1/Th2 balance in tumor-bearing and asthma-induced mice. When Meth A-bearing mice were given orally either Agaricus extracts or water once a day starting 5 days after tumor implantation, spleen T cells, prepared from tumor-bearing mice treated with Agaricus extracts, in response to anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody produced significantly higher levels of interferon γ (IFN-γ) than that of controls. The mRNA expression of IFN-γ-inducing protein 10 and the frequency of CD69+ or CD49d+ cells, among activated T cells infiltrated into tumors, significantly increased in Agaricus-treated mice, compared with those of tumor-controls. In asthma-induced mice, treatment with the Agaricus extracts caused significant downregulation of OVA-specific antibody responses of IgG1 and IgE but not of IgG2a, and significantly decreased total cell numbers, levels of interleukin 5, and eosinophil numbers in bronchial alveolar lavage fluids. IFN-γ production by anti-CD3-stimulated spleen cells, obtained from Agaricus-treated mice, significantly increased. Our results strongly suggest that oral administration of Agaricus extracts ameliorates the Th1/Th2 balance from the Th2-skewed conditions. 相似文献

Although stress is known to exacerbate asthma, the underlying mechanisms are unclear. Using a murine model of allergic asthma, Th1 (interleukin [IL]-2 and gamma-interferon [IFN-γ]) and Th2 (IL-4 and IL-5) airway cytokine responses and Th1:Th2 cytokine ratios to acute and repeated stress were examined in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF). Asthmatic mice showed significantly higher IL-4 level and Th2 predominance, compared with healthy mice. To acute stress, asthmatic mice significantly increased IL-4 but decreased IFN-γ levels favoring Th2 predominance, whereas healthy mice significantly decreased IL-4 level favoring Th1 predominance in BALF. To repeated stress, asthmatic mice significantly decreased IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-5 levels overall favoring Th1 predominance, whereas healthy mice basically maintained the same response profile shown to acute stress. These findings suggest that a significant shift toward Th2 predominance in asthmatic mice under acute stress may be a mechanism underlying exacerbation of asthma. 相似文献

T cells that produce both IL‐17 and IFN‐γ, and co‐express ROR‐γt and T‐bet, are often found at sites of autoimmune inflammation. However, it is unknown whether this co‐expression of T‐bet with ROR‐γt is a prerequisite for immunopathology. We show here that T‐bet is not required for the development of Th17‐driven experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). The disease was not impaired in T‐bet?/? mice and was associated with low IFN‐γ production and elevated IL‐17 production among central nervous system (CNS) infiltrating CD4+ T cells. T‐bet?/? Th17 cells generated in the presence of IL‐6/TGF‐β/IL‐1 and IL‐23 produced GM‐CSF and high levels of IL‐17 and induced disease upon transfer to naïve mice. Unlike their WT counterparts, these T‐bet?/– Th17 cells did not exhibit an IL‐17→IFN‐γ switch upon reencounter with antigen in the CNS, indicating that this functional change is not critical to disease development. In contrast, T‐bet was absolutely required for the pathogenicity of myelin‐responsive Th1 cells. T‐bet‐deficient Th1 cells failed to accumulate in the CNS upon transfer, despite being able to produce GM‐CSF. Therefore, T‐bet is essential for establishing Th1‐mediated inflammation but is not required to drive IL‐23‐induced GM‐CSF production, or Th17‐mediated autoimmune inflammation. 相似文献

Objective: To determine a change in airway smooth muscle contractility in a murine model of allergic asthma, the responsiveness of airway smooth muscles isolated from ovalbumin (OA)-sensitized and -challenged mice was compared with that from control animals.Methods: Actively sensitized mice were repeatedly challenged by ovalbumin (OA) antigen inhalation. Twenty-four h after the last antigen challenge, tracheal and bronchial smooth muscle responsiveness to acetylcholine (ACh) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) were measured. Airway microvascular leakage and histochemistry were also determined as indices of airway inflammation.Results: Both the ACh and ET-1 responsiveness of bronchial, but not tracheal, smooth muscles were significantly augmented in OA-challenged mice, whereas no significant change in the expression levels of M2, M3 and ETB receptors was observed. The Evans blue dye extravasation in the main bronchial, but not tracheal, tissue of OA-challenged mice was significantly increased as compared with that of sensitized control animals. A marked inflammatory cells infiltration was also observed in bronchial but not tracheal tissues of OA-challenged mice.Conclusion: Repeated antigen challenge to sensitized mice caused a hyperresponsiveness of bronchial, but not tracheal, smooth muscle accompanied with bronchial tissue inflammation.Received 22 April 2004; returned for revision 10 June 2004; accepted by M.

Studies examining the role of PD‐1 family members in allergic asthma have yielded conflicting results. Using a mouse model of allergic asthma, we demonstrate that blockade of PD‐1/PD‐L1 has distinct influences on different CD4+ T‐cell subsets. PD‐1/PD‐L1 blockade enhances airway hyperreactivity (AHR), not by altering the magnitude of the underlying Th2‐type immune response, but by allowing the development of a concomitant Th17‐type immune response. Supporting differential CD4+ T‐cell responsiveness to PD‐1‐mediated inhibition, naïve PD‐1?/? mice displayed elevated Th1 and Th17 levels, but diminished Th2 cytokine levels, and ligation of PD‐1 in WT cells limited cytokine production by in vitro polarized Th1 and Th17 cells, but slightly enhanced cytokine production by in vitro polarized Th2 cells. Furthermore, PD‐1 ligation enhanced Th2 cytokine production by naïve T cells cultured under nonpolarizing conditions. These data demonstrate that different CD4+ T‐cell subsets respond differentially to PD‐1 ligation and may explain some of the variable results observed in control of allergic asthma by the PD‐1 family members. As the PD‐1/PD‐L1 axis limits asthma severity by constraining Th17 cell activity, this suggests that severe allergic asthma may be associated with a defective PD‐1/PD‐L1 regulatory axis in some individuals. 相似文献

Background and aim: We investigated the effect of zinc oxide (ZnO) on Th1 and Th2 immune responses in mice.Material and methods: Mice were intraperitoneally administered with ovalbumin (OVA) with or without varying doses of ZnO (day 0). On day 21, anti-OVA IgG, IgG2a, IgG1, and IgE antibodies in sera, OVA-specific proliferative responses of spleen cells, and production of Th1 cytokines including IFN-γ as well as Th2 cytokines such as IL-4 and IL-5 were measured.Results: The results showed that administration of OVA with ZnO was followed by greater increases in anti-OVA IgG and the antigen-specific splenocyte proliferation compared to that of OVA alone. The production of anti-OVA IgG1 and IgE and secretion of IL-4 and IL-5 were markedly enhanced by ZnO. The enhancing effect of ZnO on these Th2 responses was as strong as aluminium hydroxide (Alum) that was widely used as an adjuvant. In contrast, treatment with OVA plus ZnO failed to affect production of anti-OVA IgG2a as well as IFN-γ. It was also observed that ZnO had a stimulating effect on the secretion of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-17 from a new lineage of effector Th cells.Conclusion: These results suggest that ZnO appears to have an adjuvant effect on the immune system, especially Th2 but not Th1 immune responses. 相似文献

T-cell immunoglobulin mucin-1 (Tim-1) is a transmembrane protein postulated to be a key regulator of Th2-type immune responses. This hypothesis is based in part upon genetic studies associating Tim-1 polymorphisms in mice with a bias toward airway hyperrespon-siveness (AHR) and the development of Th2-type CD4(+) T cells. Tim-1 expressed by Th2 CD4(+) T cells has been proposed to function as a co-stimulatory molecule. Tim-1 is also expressed by B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells, but its role in responses by these cell types has not been firmly established. Here, we generated Tim-1-deficient mice to determine the role of Tim-1 in a murine model of allergic airway disease that depends on the development and function of Th2 effector cells and results in the generation of AHR. We found antigen-driven recruitment of inflammatory cells into airways is increased in Tim-1-deficient mice relative to WT mice. In addition, we observed increased antigen-specific cytokine production by splenocytes from antigen-sensitized Tim-1-deficient mice relative to those from controls. These data support the conclusion that Tim-1 functions in pathways that suppress recruitment of inflammatory cells into the airways and the generation or activity of CD4(+) T cells. 相似文献
