CD8(+) T cells are an in vivo reservoir for human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I 总被引:10,自引:1,他引:10
It is thought that human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) preferentially infects CD4(+) T cells in vivo. However, observations of high HTLV-I proviral load in patients with HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis suggest that HTLV-I may infect other cell types in addition to CD4(+) T cells. To identify in vivo T-cell tropisms of HTLV-I, real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and intracellular protein staining were used. A high amount of HTLV-I proviral DNA was detected from purified CD8(+) T cells by quantitative PCR (between 1.64 and 62.83 copies of HTLV-I provirus per 100 isolated CD8(+) T cells). CD8(+) T cells expressed HTLV-I-related antigens (HTLV-I Tax and p19 protein) after a short time in cultivation. These results demonstrate that CD8(+) T cells are also infected with HTLV-I and express HTLV-I antigens at levels that are comparable to HTLV-I-infected CD4(+) cells. Therefore, CD8(+) cells are an additional viral reservoir in vivo for HTLV-I and may contribute to the pathogenesis of HTLV-I-mediated disorders. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the ability of human T cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) to infect endothelial cells and induce cytokine production by these cells. METHODS: Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) were cocultured with HTLV-I infected T cell line (MT-2 cells) or uninfected T cell line (CEM cells). RESULTS: Following coculture with MT-2 cells, endothelial cells expressed HTLV-I specific core antigens. Endothelial cells cocultured with MT-2 cells produced significant amounts of several cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1 alpha, IL-6, granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), and granulocyte/macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), compared with endothelial cells cocultured with CEM cells. Coculturing of endothelial cells with MT-2 and CEM cells failed to produce detectable amounts of IL-1 beta and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha). The production of cytokines by endothelial cells cocultured with MT-2 cells was more persistent than that by endothelial cells cocultured with CEM cells after several passages. Furthermore, the production was blocked by cocultivation of endothelial cells and MT-2 cells using the Millicell system. Finally, after cocultivation of endothelial cells and MT-2 cells, endothelial cells positive for HTLV-I antigen were stained by anti-GM-CSF antibody. CONCLUSIONS: HTLV-I can infect endothelial cells, resulting in their active production of several cytokines, such as IL-1 alpha, IL-6, G-CSF, and GM-CSF. These findings strongly suggest that the excess production of these cytokines by HTLV-I infected endothelial cells may be involved in the pathogenesis of HTLV-I associated inflammatory diseases. 相似文献

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I)-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP) proliferate spontaneously in vitro. This spontaneous lymphoproliferation (SP) is one of the immunologic hallmarks of HAM/TSP and is considered to be an important factor related to the pathogenesis of HAM/TSP. However, the cell populations involved in this phenomenon have not yet been definitively identified. To address this issue, the study directly evaluated proliferating cell subsets in SP with a flow cytometric method using bromodeoxyuridine and Ki-67. Although both CD4+ and CD8+ T cells proliferated spontaneously, the percentage of proliferating CD8+ T cells was 2 to 5 times higher than that of CD4+ T cells. In addition, more than 40% of HTLV-I Tax11-19-specific CD8+ T cells as detected by an HLA-A*0201/Tax11-19 tetramer proliferated in culture. In spite of this expansion of HTLV-I-specific CD8+ T cells, HTLV-I proviral load did not decrease. This finding will help elucidate the dynamics of in vivo virus-host immunologic interactions that permit the coexistence of high HTLV-I-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T-lymphocyte responses and high HTLV-I proviral load in HAM/TSP. 相似文献

Serum specimens from Puerto Rican residents were tested for antibodies to human T lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) using an enzyme immunoassay, Western immunoblot, and radioimmunoprecipitation assays. Of 1,279 specimens obtained during a dengue virus surveillance program in 1986 and 1987, 3 (0.2%) tested positive; an additional 11 were indeterminate. Of 602 specimens obtained from blood donors in Ponce in 1987, 1 (0.2%) was positive; an additional specimen was indeterminate. Of 21 persons hospitalized for problems related to intravenous drug use in 1986 and 1987, 1 (5%) tested positive for HTLV-I antibodies. 相似文献

We used two-color flow cytometric analysis to investigate CD26+ (Ta1+) cells in peripheral blood T lymphocytes from patients with human T-lymphotropic virus type-I (HTLV-I)-associated myelopathy (HAM). The percentage of CD26+ cells among CD3+ cells was markedly increased in patients with HAM, compared with anti-HTLV-I seropositive carriers (p < 0.001) and seronegative controls (p < 0.01). Within the subpopulation of T cells, a significantly high percentage of CD26+ cells was detected in both CD4+ and CD8+ cell populations. Furthermore, analysis of HLA-DR+ T cells revealed similar results. In contrast CD4+CD45RA+ cells were significantly decreased in comparison with controls. These results suggest that immunologically activated or memory T cells found in peripheral blood may be etiologically relevant to HAM. 相似文献

The isolation and characterization of a human T-cell lymphotropic retrovirus related to human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) from cerebrospinal fluid of a Jamaican patient with tropical spastic paraparesis is described. The virus isolate is a typical type C retrovirus as seen by electron microscopy and is related to prototype HTLV-I isolated from patients with adult T-cell leukemia but is not identical to this prototype HTLV-I as seen by restriction enzyme mapping. 相似文献

Resting human T cells can be activated and induced to proliferate by cross-linking the T-cell receptor complex (Ti/CD3) with anti-CD3 (T3) antibodies, such as OKT3, together with interleukin 2. Here we describe functional properties of another monoclonal anti-CD3 antibody (BMA 030) that, cross-linked in various ways, only weakly stimulates accessory-cell-depleted T-cell cultures. However, when cross-linked to anti-CD4 or anti-CD8 antibodies a markedly enhanced proliferation of the corresponding subpopulation is observed. We have concentrated on the analysis of CD8 cells and have found that BMA 030, when cross-linked together with anti-CD8 (T811), induced proliferation more than 100-fold greater than BMA 030 alone, whereas cross-linking with antibodies to other T-cell membrane antigens (HLA-A, B, or CD5) provided no or marginal synergistic signals. There was no synergistic effect when only one of the two antibodies, BMA 030 or T811, was cross-linked and the other was applied in soluble form. In contrast, each of the two antibodies alone, when applied in soluble form, inhibited activation induced by the cross-linked antibodies. The T-cell differentiation antigen CD8 has been implicated in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I restricted specificity of CD8 T cells. In previous work from other laboratories only the negative influences of soluble anti-CD8 antibodies have been noted. In contrast, our results suggest that cross-linking between Ti/CD3 and CD8 may be a critical event in the activation of mature CD8 cells. We hypothesize that, in antigen-induced T-cell activation, CD8 and Ti/CD3 become cross-linked by their simultaneous binding to class I-associated structures. Such a mechanism, if required for proliferation in early T-cell ontogeny, could generate a selective pressure for CD8 cells to recognize class I-associated antigens. 相似文献

Leukemias associated with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I in a non-endemic region 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Human T lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-I) is a retrovirus which is prevalent in southern Japan, the Caribbean Basin, and Africa. Recent seroprevalence studies in the United States suggest that there are about 50,000 infected individuals. The identification of 5 individuals with HTLV-I-associated leukemia/lymphoma referred to our center with relatively limited screening methods suggests that these disorders are more common than currently appreciated. Though 99% of infected individuals remain asymptomatic, this virus may cause immunosuppression, lymphomas, or myelopathy. The lymphomas have been classified as acute or chronic forms of adult T cell leukemia-lymphoma (ATLL). Acute ATLL is a T cell form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in an HTLV-I-infected individual with leukemia, skin infiltration, or hypercalcemia. This disorder is poorly responsive to chemotherapy and all patients should be referred for experimental protocols. Chronic ATLL is an insidious disease characterized by lymphadenopathy, skin infiltration of less than 10% of the body surface, and/or atypical lymphocytes with highly convoluted nuclei which include 1 to 10% of the nucleated cells in the peripheral blood, but no visceral involvement or hypercalcemia. The prognosis of these patients is not clearly defined. All individuals with mature T lymphocytic malignancies should be evaluated with HTLV-I-specific assays. The most sensitive and specific assays available include the enzyme linked immunoadsorbent antibody assay (ELISA) and the polymerase chain DNA amplification reaction assay. With improved laboratory techniques and greater awareness of the characteristics of this disease by clinicians, it is likely that the natural history of HTLV-I infection will be better defined, and improvements in therapeutic management will be developed. 相似文献

The effects of the human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) on cultured human endothelial cells were evaluated. Coculture of endothelial monolayers with either irradiated HTLV-producing lymphocytes or cell-free virus resulted in the production of multinucleated syncytia. The development of syncytia was inhibited by sera from patients with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL). HTLV antigens were present on endothelial syncytia passaged in culture for greater than 3 months as detected by an anti-p19 monoclonal antibody, which detects a core protein of HTLV-I, and by ATLL sera. Moreover, these HTLV-infected endothelial cells were then able to infect and transform normal cord blood T lymphocytes with HTLV. These studies demonstrate that human endothelial cells are susceptible to productive HTLV-I infection in vitro and may have relevance for the spectrum of human disease associated with this family of retroviruses. 相似文献

Absence of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I coinfection in human immunodeficiency virus-infected hemophilic men 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Concern for transmission of human T-cell lymphotropic virus, type 1 (HTLV-1) infection to recipients of infected cellular blood products has prompted development of tests to eliminate blood units with HTLV-I antibodies. Most hemophilic men from the United States became infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) before HIV donor screening and before blood products were processed to inactivate the virus. To assess whether these men might also be infected with HTLV-I, we examined the HTLV-I antibody status of 127 factor VIII (hemophilia A) recipients and 71 factor IX (hemophilia B) recipients. One HIV-seronegative and four HIV-seropositive persons were HTLV-I reactive by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Four of five ELISA-reactive serum samples were negative by HTLV-I immunoblot assay (IB); 1 reactive and 1 borderline reactive serum were indeterminate on IB (p19 reactivity), but negative by radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from one patient with indeterminate HTLV-I IB were negative for HTLV-I genomic sequences by polymerase chain reaction. The other indeterminate patient's serum antibody pattern was stable over a 2-year period, suggesting this was not an instance of early HTLV-I seroconversion. These results reaffirm the safety of factor components in the United States with regard to HTLV-I but emphasize the importance and need for further testing of reactive HTLV-I ELISA results with a second more specific technique. 相似文献

The case is described of a 57 year old woman with polyarthritis fulfilling the 1987 revised criteria of the American Rheumatism Association for rheumatoid arthritis, accompanied by clinical carrier state infection of HTLV-I. Anti-HTLV-I IgM antibodies were detected by western blot analysis in her synovial fluid and serum. Atypical lymphocytes with nuclear convolutions were found in synovial fluid and synovial tissue obtained from the affected knee joint, suggesting in situ activation of HTLV-I infected lymphocytes in the affected synovial compartment. The HTLV-I antigens were detected (1.2%) in short term cultured synovial fluid lymphocytes, by indirect immunofluorescence. These findings supported the possibility that HTLV-I has a role in triggering or modifying inflammation in the synovial compartment. 相似文献

A 63-year-old asymptomatic carrier of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-1) infection was admitted because of chest
oppression, a high-grade fever, polyarthralgia, and erythematous rashes. Laboratory examination revealed lymphocytopenia,
proteinuria, and high titers of antinuclear antibodies and antidouble-stranded DNA antibody; thus, she was diagnosed as having
systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). This case indicates that HTLV-1 infection might be related with the pathogenesis of SLE. 相似文献

To determine the susceptibility of rabbits to experimental infection with human T-cell lymphotropic virus type-II (HTLV-II), four separate groups of four weanling rabbits each were inoculated intravenously with lethally irradiated HTLV-II-infected human cell lines Mo-T (HTLV-IIMo-infected T cells), WIL-NRA (an Epstein-Barr virus [EBV]-transformed B-lymphoblastoid cell line infected with HTLV-IINRA), 729pH6neo (an EBV-transformed lymphoblastoid cell line transfected with a molecular clone of HTLV-IIMo), or G12.1 (HTLV-II-infected T cells from a Panamanian Guaymi Indian). Two additional groups of four rabbits each were similarly inoculated with control uninfected 729 or HuT 78 cells. Early and persistent seroconversion to HTLV-II core antigen p24, as determined by Western immunoblot, occurred in all HTLV-II-inoculated rabbits and was most intense in rabbits inoculated with G12.1 cells; seroreactivity to other HTLV-II gag or env antigens occurred later, with less intensity, or not in all inoculated rabbits. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) and other lymphoid cells from HTLV-II-inoculated rabbits produced minimal p24 in vitro, as determined by enzyme immunosorbent capture assay. Virus was more readily detected by polymerase chain reaction amplification of HTLV-II pol sequences; this occurred most frequently in rabbits inoculated with Mo-T cells, and most frequently in PBMC as compared with other tissues tested (bone marrow, brain, and liver). No evidence of disease occurred in HTLV-II-inoculated rabbits observed for as long as 24 weeks. All control rabbits remained negative for evidence of HTLV-II infection, as determined by the same procedures. These results provide the first evidence of HTLV-II infection in a species other than humans, and demonstrate the usefulness of the rabbit as an animal model to study the biologic response to different isolates of this human retrovirus. 相似文献

A unique feature of both human T-cell leukemia virus type I (HTLV-I) carriers and subjects with HTLV-I-associated myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis (HAM/TSP), a chronic inflammatory disease of the nervous system, is the presence of large numbers of activated T cells that spontaneously proliferate in vitro. We have investigated the mechanisms of T-cell activation by HTLV-I in freshly isolated blood T cells and in naturally infected T-cell clones obtained by direct single-cell cloning from patients with HAM/TSP. Both CD4+ and CD8+ HTLV-I-infected T-cell clones showed the unusual ability to proliferate in the absence of exogenous interleukin 2 (IL-2). Nevertheless, HTLV-I-infected clones were not transformed, as they required periodic restimulation with phytohemagglutinin and feeder cells for long-term growth. Irradiated or fixed HTLV-I-infected clones were found to induce the proliferation of blood T cells when cocultured, which we refer to as THTLV-1-T cell activation. This THTLV-1-T cell-mediated activation was blocked by monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against CD2/lymphocyte function-associated molecule 3 (LFA-3), LFA-1/intercellular cell-adhesion molecule (ICAM), and the IL-2 receptor but not by mAbs against class I or class II major histocompatibility complex molecules, HTLV-I gp46, or a high-titer HAM/TSP serum. Spontaneous proliferation of blood T cells from HAM/TSP patients could also be inhibited by mAbs to CD2/LFA-3, LFA-1/ICAM and to the IL-2 receptor (CD25). These results show at the clonal level that HTLV-I infection induces T-cell activation and that such activated T cells can in turn stimulate noninfected T cells by cognate THTLV-1-T cell interactions involving the CD2 pathway. 相似文献

A 1972 historic sera collection from two health districts in Barbados, British West Indies, was evaluated for risk factors and epidemiologic patterns of HTLV-I (human T cell leukemia virus type I) during a time prior to the first report of its discovery in 1980. HTLV-I seroprevalence is 4.2% (43 of 1,012) and is consistent with current estimates in endemic areas in the Caribbean. Age-dependent rise (P less than .01) and higher seroprevalence rates for females (P less than .01) are indistinguishable from the pattern in contemporary Caribbean and Japanese populations. HTLV-I seropositivity was 4 times higher in women (P less than .003) and 2.6 times higher in men (P = .32) with treponemal antibodies, supporting a role for sexual transmission. Children who were positive in a household were more likely to have a seropositive mother than a seropositive father. This pattern is consistent with transmission of the virus from mother to child. Our results document that rates of infection and modes of transmission of HTLV-I are persistent. 相似文献
