Alloantigens, unlike recall antigens, activate both CD45RA+ (naive) and CD45R0+ (memory) CD4+ cells to the same extent. These T cell subsets may therefore interact with each other in response to alloantigens on transplanted grafts. We have investigated if the ability of activated CD4+CD45RA+ and CD4+CD45R0+ T cells to produce and respond to interleukin 2 (IL2) and IL4 may be involved in this interaction. After activation, both subsets up-regulate their IL2 receptor (IL2R) and IL4R expression, yet IL4 substantially enhanced the proliferation of the CD4+CD45RA+ but not of the CD4+CD45R0+ T cell subset, while IL2 increased the proliferation of CD4+CD45R0+ but not of the CD4+CD45RA+ T cells. Significantly, the CD4+CD45RA+ T cells synthesized two- to threefold more mRNA for IL2 than the CD4+CD45R0+ subset, while the CD4+CD45R0+ T cells synthesized mRNA for IL4 and interferon-gamma exclusively. The addition of IL2 to alloactivated CD4+CD45R0+ T cells further up-regulated their production of all three lymphokine mRNA; in contrast, IL4 induced an increase in mRNA for IL2 in only the alloactivated CD4+CD45RA+ subset. The reciprocity in the ability of both these CD4+ T cells to synthesize and respond to IL2 and IL4 may provide a rationale for the regulation of lymphokine interactions in vivo. Furthermore, the synergy between these subsets in response to alloantigens, which was directly quantitated by co-culturing CD4+CD45RA+ and CD4+CD45R0+ cells together prior to activation, may potentiate the alloreactivity against transplanted grafts in vivo. 相似文献

Interleukin 2 (IL2) responsiveness was specifically induced by Dermatophagoides farinae (Df) antigen in Df-sensitized lymphocytes from asthmatic children, but not in normal lymphocytes. Df-induced IL2 responsiveness was also observed in normal lymphocytes pretreated (Day 0) with anti-CD45R antibody, which recognize suppressor inducer subset among CD4+ T cells. However anti-CD45R antibody was no longer effective when the lymphocytes were cultured for more than one day with the antigen, suggesting its effect in the initial phase of the reaction. The intensity of the response induced in normal lymphocytes by the anti-CD45R was comparable to that of the patients sensitized to the nominal antigen. The response of the patients was no longer augmented by the anti-CD45R antibody. Taken together, these data suggest that even normal lymphocytes have potentiality to elicit Df-induced IL2 responsiveness and it is probably derepressed by inhibiting suppressor inducer subset with the anti-CD45R antibody. Also suggested is a defective suppressor inducer activity in the lymphocytes which may lead to hyperreactivity to allergens in asthmatic children. 相似文献

Deficiency of suppressor-inducer (CD4+CD45RA+) T cells in autism 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

CD4+ cells are a heterogenous population of lymphocytes including at least two distinct subpopulations: CD45RA+ cells, inducers of suppressor T cells and CDw29+ cells, inducers of helper function for antibody production. To investigate the possibility that immune abnormalities in autism may involve abnormal distribution of these helper subpopulations, monoclonal antibodies were used in flow cytometric analysis to characterize peripheral blood lymphocytes of 36 subjects with autism. The autistic subjects as compared to a group of 35 healthy age-matched subjects had a significantly reduced number of lymphocytes, a decreased number of CD2+ T cells and reduced numbers of CD4+ and CD4+CD45RA+ lymphocytes. The numbers of B (CD20+) cells, suppressor T (CD8+) cells, inducers of helper function (CD4+CDw29+) and natural killer (CD56+) cells were not altered in the autistic subjects. Our results suggest that an alteration in the suppressor-inducer T-cell subset is associated with autism. 相似文献

The role of functionally distinct helper T lymphocyte subpopulations in the induction of human B cell differentiation 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Human helper T lymphocytes can be dissected into two functionally distinct subpopulations based on expression of the CD45RA (2H4) or CD45R0 (UCHL-1) surface antigens. While both subpopulations are able to induce equivalent levels of B cell activation and proliferation, only the CD4+CD45RA- subpopulation is capable of inducing B cell differentiation in pokeweed mitogen (PWM)-stimulated cultures. To define the mechanism responsible for the dichotomy between induction of proliferation and differentiation by the two CD4+ subpopulations, we examined the abilities of the purified T cell subpopulations to produce lymphokine mRNA following T cell activation. Northern analysis revealed that both subpopulations produced interleukin (IL) 2 and interferon (IFN)-gamma mRNA following PWM activation. The CD4+CD45RA- subpopulation, however, produced higher levels of IFN-gamma mRNA and the CD4+CD45RA+ cells produced higher levels of IL 2 mRNA. Neither subpopulation elaborated detectable mRNA for IL 4, IL 5 or IL 6. Of greatest significance was that the addition of recombinant or T cell-derived lymphokines could not compensate for the inability of the CD4+CD45RA+ subpopulation to induce B cell differentiation in PWM assays. Direct T-B cell contact was required for the optimal induction B cell differentiation in these assays, suggesting that CD4+CD45RA+ T cells were deficient in their ability to directly deliver the T cell-B cell signals required for B cell differentiation. These results suggest that the differential ability of the two subpopulations of CD4+ T cells to induce B cell differentiation does not result from differences in lymphokines elaborated, but may result from differences in their abilities to interact directly with B cells to initiate differentiation. 相似文献

We tested the effect of Tranilast [N-(3′,4′-dimethoxycinnamoyl anthranilic acid)], one of the anti-allergic agents, on the induction of interleukin 2 (IL2) responsiveness of lymphocytes from patients with bronchial asthma or hen-egg allergy following stimulation with Dermatophagoides farinae (Df) or ovalbumin (OVA), respectively. Mononuclear cells pretreated with Tranilast for 12 h failed to respond to IL2 following incubation with Df or OVA. Also Tranilast inhibited purified protein derivative (PPD)-induced IL2 responsiveness of normal lymphocytes but not the Con A-induced IL2 responsiveness of normal or allergen-sensitized lymphocytes. These results suggested that Tranilast has some immunosuppressive effect in that it inhibits antigen-induced IL2 responsiveness. Separation of potential target cells of Tranilast disclosed that antigen-presenting adherent cells were more susceptible to Tranilast than IL2-responding T-cell rich populations. Expression of HLA-DR and -DQ antigens but not DP antigens on macrophages, was significantly suppressed by treatment with Tranilast, although Tranilast scarcely decreased HLA class II antigens expression on B-cells. The suppression was overcome by interferon-γ, which was known as an inducer for class II antigen expression. Taken together, Tranilast may suppress antigen-induced IL2 responsiveness by inhibiting HLA-DR and HLA-DQ antigens on macrophages. 相似文献

In response to antigenic stimulation, naive MHC-class I restricted and antigen-specific CD8+ CD45RA+ CD28+ T cells undergo clonal expansion, differentiate into CD8+ CD45RO+ memory T cells and convert to CD8+ CD45RA+ CD28- T cells displaying potent immune effector functions upon re-encounter with the nominal antigen. We show that the effector CD8+ CD45RA+ CD28- T cell subset is expanded in peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBL) from patients with human papilloma virus (HPV)+ cervical lesions as well as in PBL from patients with pulmonary tuberculosis. Flow-cytometric cell sorted CD8+ CD45RA+ CD28- and CD8+ CD45RA+ CD28- T cells were tested for recognition of HLA-A2 restricted peptides derived either from the human papillomavirus (HPV)16-E7 gene product, or from M. tuberculosis antigens. Mostly CD8+ CD45+ CD28- T cells define antigen/peptide-specific and MHC-restricted responses. These data were confirmed in PBL from patients with tuberculosis using HLA-A2 tetramer-complexes loaded with a peptide from the M. tuberculosis Ag85b antigen by flow cytometry. The sorting of this T cell subset enables to determine the fine specificity of CD8+ effector T cells without the need for in vitro manipulation. 相似文献

In vitro studies have suggested that the presence of CD45RA on subsets of CD4 and CD8 cells defines naive T cells and that, in response to antigen, CD45RA+ cells become CD45RA- along a differentiation pathway. To test the hypothesis that CD45RA+ cells are naive cells which have just left the thymus, young mice were thymectomized. This would be predicted to lead to a fall in the size of the peripheral pool of CD45RA+ T cells. However, the changes in the size of this pool would also be dependent on the life-span and self renewal capacity of the CD45RA+ T cells in the periphery. Therefore, to test the contribution of the thymus to the peripheral CD45RA+ pool, the percentage of CD45RA+ cells among spleen lymphocyte subsets was studied from 10 days up to 2 years of age in thymectomized and control mice. We also studied the expression of the memory marker CD44 on the CD45RA subsets of CD4 and CD8 cells, as well as the effect of in vitro activation on expression of CD45RA. Our results show that CD8+ CD45RA+ cells are mainly CD44- and their maintenance is dependent on the presence of the thymus. In contrast, the majority of CD4+ CD45RA+ are CD44+ and are not affected by thymectomy. This indicates that the maturation stage of CD8+ CD45RA+ cells is different from that of CD4+ CD45RA+ cells. 相似文献

This study shows that the two major subpopulations of CD4+ T lymphocytes defined on the basis of differential expression of the CD29 and CD45RA antigens, show significant differences in reactivity with a monoclonal antibody against the GD3 ganglioside. Double staining studies showed that the GD3 ganglioside is predominantly expressed on cells from the CD4+29+/45RA subsets. The preferential interaction of the CD4+29+/45RA cell subset with the anti-GD3 MoAb was further confirmed by the proliferative and calcium-flux studies. Accordingly, the reciprocal, CD4+(29-)/45RA+ subset was unable to proliferate in response to the anti-GD3 MoAb alone. Although it did show a significant mobilization of calcium ions and proliferation to IL-2 when stimulated with the anti-GD3 MoAb, these response were much less pronounced than the responses of the CD4+29+/45RA- subset. Finally, when two T-cell stimulating monokines, IL-1 and IL-6, were tested for the ability to modulate the anti-GD3 mediated proliferation, only the former, but not the latter was able to enhance the proliferation. Although the natural ligand for the GD3 ganglioside remains unknown, the data presented here provide further evidence in support of the notion that the T-cell surface molecules different from the T-cell receptor MHC-antigen complex may contribute to the preferential activation of one of the CD4+ T lymphocyte subsets. 相似文献

Highly purified CD4+ CD45RA+ cells from cord blood and peripheral blood from healthy adults were studied. The levels of expression of the CD2, CD3, CD4 and CD28 antigens were similar; however, CD45 and CD45RA antigen expression were slightly lower in cord cells. The reduced expression of the CD45RA antigen on cord CD4+ T cells was confirmed in whole blood. Functional assessment revealed deficiencies in cord CD4+ CD45RA+ T cells. Interleukin-2 (IL-2) production in response to specific triggering via CD2 monoclonal antibody (mAb) alone, or CD2 mAb in combination with CD28 mAb showed marked underproduction (about 10% of adult production). When CD25 expression was examined, it was observed that the proportion of activated CD4+ CD45RA+ T cells in cord blood was lower than in adult (about 20% of adult expression). Proliferation to CD2 mAbs or CD2 + 28 mAbs of cord blood native cells was similarly depressed. Investigation of IL-2 mRNA expression under these stimulatory conditions paralleled the results observed for CD25 expression, IL-2 production and proliferation. When phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) was added to the cells triggered with CD2 + 28mAbs, the responses examined were enhanced in both cord and adult blood with no significant differences between the groups. These findings suggest that under identical conditions of stimulation, purified cord blood CD4+ CD45RA+ T cells do not acquire similar activation status as their adult counterparts. These findings may help in understanding the reduced graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) observed in cord blood stem cell transplantation. 相似文献

Chronic sinopulmonary infections that are associated with immunodeficiency are one of the leading causes of death in the multi-systemic disease ataxia telangiectasia (AT). Immunological investigations of AT patients revealed a broad spectrum of defects in the humoral and the cellular immune system. Based on their important role in host defence the aim of our study was an extensive analysis of cell distribution and function of CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes and NK cells. We found that naive (CD45RA+) CD4+ lymphocytes, as well as CD8+/CD45RA+ lymphocytes, are decreased, whereas NK cells (CD3-/CD16+CD56+) are significantly elevated in AT patients. In our culture system proliferation and cytokine production was normal in purified memory (CD45RO+) lymphocytes after stimulation with phorbol-12,13-dibutyrate (PBu2) and after PHA activation, indicating that differences in proliferation and cytokine production are due solely to reduced numbers of CD45RA+ lymphocytes. However, activation, and especially intracellular interferon production of AT lymphocytes, seem to follow different kinetics compared to controls. In contrast to polyclonal activation, stimulation via the T cell receptor results consistently in a reduced immune response. Taken together, our results suggest that deficiency of immunocompetent cells and an intrinsic immune activation defect are responsible for the immunodeficiency in AT. 相似文献

Expression of different isoforms of CD45, the leucocyte common antigen (LCA), on T-cell subsets has permitted distinctions between the functional activities of subpopulations within the major CD4+ T-cell subset. With respect to cytokine production, the expression on CD4+ cells of CD45RA, a high molecular weight isoform, defines a population which produces only interleukin-2 (IL-2) and tumour necrosis factor-beta (TNF-beta) in quantity, with peak production of IL-2 occurring after 24-48 hr stimulation, while the CD4+ population bearing high levels of CD45RO, a low molecular weight isoform, can produce a wide range of cytokines within 24 hr of activation. The literature is conflicting on the capacities for cytokine production of CD8+ subsets divided on the basis of either CD45RA or CD45RO expression. The aim of this study was to attempt to clarify this area by determining the amount and kinetics of production of IL-2, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and TNF-beta in CD8+ cells separated on the basis of both CD45RA and CD45RO isoform expression. The results showed that CD8+ CD45RA- and CD8+ CD45RO+ T lymphocytes produce significantly more of all three cytokines than do CD8+ CD45RA+ or CD8+ CD45RO- T cells. The kinetics for IFN-gamma and TNF-beta production were similar for both subsets, while IL-2 production was delayed by approximately 3 hr in the CD8+ CD45RO- population as compared to the CD8+ CD45RO+ subset. It is suggested that some of the confusion over cytokine production by these CD8+ subsets may be attributable to different conditions for isolation causing pre-activation of positively selected populations. It is also suggested that while CD8+ CD45RA+ cells are shown to acquire CD45RO upon activation, as do CD4+ CD45RA+ cells, the results of the present study argue for a different relationship between CD8+ subsets separated on the basis of CD45 isoform expression than between the corresponding CD4+ subsets. 相似文献

An important aspect of peripheral T cell development is the differentiation
from naive into memory cells. To distinguish naive from memory cells,
CD45RA and CD11a are commonly used: CD45RA+ or CD11a(dim) T cells are
regarded as naive, while CD45RA- or CD11a(bright) T cells are thought to be
of memory type. There is, however, a CD8+ T cell subset which is CD45RA+
and at the same time CD11a(bright). It increases with age and in patients
with systemic viral infections, though its functional role in the immune
response is unknown. In the present study, we give evidence that this
subset is related to memory- like T cells as it produces IFN-gamma and
tumor necrosis factor-alpha, contains high levels of perforin, and
expresses CD95 in the same way as memory-type CD45RA-/CD11a(bright) CD8+ T
cells. Since it contains a high percentage of CD28- and CD57+ cells, is
increased in size and granularity, and is transiently expressed following
in vitro stimulation of naive CD8+ T cells, we speculate that this subset
mainly represents recently activated effector T cells that are able to
interact with CD80 and CD86 (B7-1 and B7-2 respectively) negative tissue
cells.

We describe conditions where the addition of stimulated CD8+ lymphocytes from healthy donors to autologous antibody-secreting B cells significantly enhanced IgG production by these cells. In two-step experiments, purified CD8+ lymphocytes were first cocultured with irradiated allogeneic monocytes. These cells developed interleukin 2 receptors, but proliferated only minimally in the absence of CD4+ cells. When added to antibody-secreting B cells, these CD8+ lymphocytes augmented IgG production in a dose-dependent manner in comparison with control CD8+ cells. Studies with T killer cell precursors revealed an inverse correlation between augmentation of antibody synthesis and the generation of MHC class I-restricted cytotoxic activity against lymphocytes from the allogeneic donor. Evidence is presented that CD8+ CD45RA+ CD45RO- can provide B cell help, whereas the generation of CD8+ CD45RA+ CD45RO+ cells inhibits this helper activity. Our studies support the hypothesis that in chronic diseases characterized by CD4+ cell hypofunction, CD8+ cells not only fail to down-regulate antibody production, but can provide B cell help. 相似文献

The monoclonal antibodies 2H4 and 4B4 allow CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes to be subdivided into CD45R+ and CDW29+ functional subpopulations. The CD4+ CD45R+ lymphocytes are designated as suppressor/inducer and CD4+ CDW29+ as helper/inducer subsets. Peripheral blood lymphocytes from 19 patients with Down's syndrome and 19 age- and sex-matched normal controls were analysed for the CD45R+ and CDW29+ subsets from the CD4+ and CD8+ T lymphocytes. The percentage of CD4+ CD45R+ cells (suppressor inducer) was markedly increased and of CD4+ CDW29+ cells (helper/inducer) decreased in all patients with Down's syndrome. In contract, the percentage of CD8+ CD45R+ and CD8+ CDW29+ subsets showed no major differences between patients with Down's syndrome and normal controls. Moreover, an alteration in the CD4+ and CD45R+ and CD4+ CDW29+ T cell subsets was accompanied by a markedly reduced proliferative response to phytohaemagglutinin and concanavalin A stimulation of the CD4+ T lymphocytes. Thus, a deficiency exists in patients with Down's syndrome in the CD4+ CDW29+ helper/inducer T cell subset which may contribute to their impaired cell-mediated immunity. 相似文献

This study addresses the question of whether human peripheral CD4+ CD45RA+ T cells possess antigen-specific immune memory. CD4+ CD45RA+ T cells were isolated by a combination of positive and negative selection. Putative CD4+ CD45RA+ cells expressed CD45RA (98.9%) and contained < 0.1% CD4+ CD45RO+ and < 0.5% CD4+ CD45RA+ CD45RO+ cells. Putative CD45RO+ cells expressed CD45RO (90%) and contained 9% CD45RA+ CD45RO+ and < 0.1% CD4+ CD45RA+ cells. The responder frequency of Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus-stimulated CD4+ CD45RA+ and CD4+ CD45RO+ T cells was determined in two atopic donors and found to be 1:11,314 and 1:8031 for CD4+ CD45RA+ and 1:1463 and 1:1408 for CD4+ CD45RO+ T cells. The responder frequencies of CD4+ CD45RA+ and CD4+ CD45RO+ T cells from two non-atopic, but exposed, donors were 1:78031 and 1:176,903 for CD4+ CD45RA+ and 1:9136 and 1:13,136 for CD4+ CD45RO+ T cells. T cells specific for D. pteronyssinus were cloned at limiting dilution following 10 days of bulk culture with D. pteronyssinus antigen. Sixty-eight clones were obtained from CD4+ CD45RO+ and 24 from CD4+ CD45RA+ T cells. All clones were CD3+ CD4+ CD45RO+ and proliferated in response to D. pteronyssinus antigens. Of 40 clones tested, none responded to Tubercule bacillus purified protein derivative (PPD). No difference was seen in the pattern of interleukin-4 (IL-4) or interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) producing clones derived from CD4+ CD45RA+ and CD4+ CD45RO+ precursors, although freshly isolated and polyclonally activated CD4+ CD45RA+ T cells produced 20-30-fold lower levels of IL-4 and IFN-gamma than their CD4+ CD45RO+ counterparts. Sixty per cent of the clones used the same pool of V beta genes. These data support the hypothesis that immune memory resides in CD4+ CD45RA+ as well as CD4+ CD45RO+ T cells during the chronic immune response to inhaled antigen. 相似文献

Flow cytometric detection of degranulation reveals phenotypic heterogeneity of degranulating CMV-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes in rhesus macaques 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Flow-cytometric conditions for detection of lysosomal-associated membrane proteins (LAMPs) on the surface of recently degranulated cells were optimized for rhesus macaques and used to investigate the functional properties of rhesus cytomegalovirus (rhCMV)-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes with regards to cytotoxicity and interferon (IFN)-gamma secretion in six asymptomatic CMV-seropositive rhesus macaques. Unlike humans, the rhesus macaque LAMP-1 protein CD107a underwent little or no endocytosis over a six to 18 h stimulation period. Following in vitro stimulation, rhCMV-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes were heterogeneous with regards to the composition of cells positive for CD107a and/or IFN-gamma, time to reach peak degranulation, and kinetics of IFN-gamma secretion relative to degranulation. Responder CD8+ T lymphocytes that underwent degranulation without IFN-gamma production (CD107a+IFN-gamma-) were predominantly composed of terminally differentiated effectors (CD28-CD45RA+). Moreover, they had significantly lower frequencies of effector memory (CD28-CD45RA-) cells compared to the IFN-gamma-secreting cells that did or did not undergo degranulation (CD107a+IFN-gamma+ or CD107a-IFN-gamma+). The perforin content of effector CD8+ T lymphocytes was significantly greater than that of effector memory CD8+ T lymphocytes in rhesus macaques, suggesting that they were more cytolytic. Our findings suggest that the composition of rhCMV-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes with regards to CD107a+IFN-gamma- responders may be an important determinant of their ability to control CMV replication. 相似文献

Interleukin 2 (IL2) responsiveness of ovalbumin (OVA)-stimulated lymphocytes from patients with hen-egg allergy was studied. The number of viable cells of 5-day cultured lymphocytes stimulated with OVA was increased by an additional three days incubation with recombinant IL2. This phenomenon was not observed when the lymphocytes of patients allergic to OVA but not to Dermatophagoides farinae extract antigen (Df) were stimulated with Df. Normal lymphocytes stimulated with OVA expressed Tac antigen (low affinity IL2 receptor) but, in contrast to those from the allergic patients, did not absorb nor respond to IL2. The induction of OVA-specific IL2 responsiveness in patient lymphocytes was markedly suppressed on the addition of culture supernatant from OVA-stimulated normal T cells, but Df-specific IL2 responsiveness of the lymphocytes from Df-sensitized patients with bronchial asthma was not suppressed by the same supernatant. The supernatant of lymphocytes from allergic patients did not show such suppressive effect. The patient lymphocytes whose IL2 responsiveness was suppressed with the supernatant from normal lymphocytes still expressed Tac antigen. These observations suggest that the culture supernatant of normal T lymphocytes stimulated with OVA contained an antigen-specific factor suppressing the induction of IL2 responsiveness of OVA-stimulated patient lymphocytes. The production of such a suppressive factor was impaired in the patient, and further, the factor may have inhibited the triggering signal of IL2 receptors having absorbed IL2. The existence of some allogeneic barrier between the factor(s) and patient lymphocytes was suggested, since the supernatant from OVA-stimulated normal T cells did not necessarily suppress the response of all patients tested. 相似文献

High levels of soluble CD30 (sCD30) were detected in the serum and synovial fluid of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), indicating the involvement of CD30+ T cells in the pathogenesis. We investigated the induction of CD30 and its functions in CD4+T cells from patients with established RA (disease duration >_2 years). CD4+ T cells from both the peripheral blood (PB) and synovial tissue (ST) of RA patients expressed surface CD30 when stimulated with anti-CD3 antibody (Ab) and anti-CD28 Ab, but their CD30 induction was slower and weaker compared with PB CD4+ T cells of healthy controls (HC). Immunohistochemical analysis showed that only a small proportion of lymphocytes expressed CD30 in the ST (-1%). RA PB CD4+ T cells, after recovery from 6-day stimulation with anti-CD3 Ab and anti-CD28 Ab, showed in intracellular cytokine staining that CD30+ T cells could produce more interleukin-4 (IL-4) but less interferon-gamma. In the culture of RA PB CD4+ T Cells with anti-CD3 Ab and anti-CD28 Ab, blocking anti-CD30 Ab similarly inhibited the cell proliferation and activation of nuclear factor-kappaB on day 4 in RA and HC, but inhibited the apoptotic cell death on day 6 only in RA. These results indicate that despite high-level expression of sCD30, the anti-inflammatory activity of IL-4-producing CD30+ CD4+ T cells may be limited in the ST due to a poor induction of surface CD30 and a susceptibility to CD30-mediated cell death. 相似文献
