The immune system responds vigorously to invading pathogens (non-self, foreign), while remaining unresponsive (tolerant) to the body's own components and circulating constituents (self). This indifference to self components is a result of finely orchestrated events of thymic negative selection (central tolerance) of developing T cells that are autoaggressive combined with those operative in the periphery (peripheral tolerance) to control the activity of potentially autoreactive T cells that escaped thymic tolerance. Recently, autoimmune regulator expressed in the thymus has been identified as a critical mediator of central tolerance towards tissue-specific antigens. In the periphery, a variety of regulatory T cells are involved in effecting tolerance. There is immense interest and excitement about the newly identified subset of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells. This is a unique subset of CD4(+) T cells that bear CD25 (IL-2Ralpha chain) on the cell surface in the na?ve state and express FoxP3 as a unique marker. These cells suppress the activity of autoreactive effector T cells primarily via cell-cell contact. The deficiency and/or altered function of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells is associated with autoimmunity. Mice deficient in FoxP3 (scurfy mice) bear an autoimmune phenotype, and human males with mutations in the corresponding gene express the phenotype of wide-spread autoimmunity, the immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy and enteropathy, and X-linked syndrome. In vitro expansion of antigen-specific CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells and their adoptive transfer into patients suffering from autoimmunity is emerging as a promising new therapeutic approach for these debilitating disorders. 相似文献

The fields of regulatory T (Treg) cells and chemokines/chemokine receptors have progressed rapidly in the last few years. Treg cells, especially CD4+CD25+ Treg cells, play a critical role in maintaining self-tolerance and immune homeostasis. Chemokines and chemokine receptors are crucial for lymphoid development, homing and immunological regulation. This review will discuss the biological effects of chemokines and chemokine receptors on regulating the migration and development of CD4+CD25+ Treg cells, and the potential clinical implications of these findings when considering chemokine receptors as therapeutic targets. 相似文献

Regulatory CD4(+) CD25(+) T (Treg) cells with the ability to suppress host immune responses against self- or non-self antigens play important roles in the processes of autoimmunity, transplant rejection, infectious diseases and cancers. The proper regulation of CD4(+) CD25(+) Treg cells is thus critical for optimal immune responses. Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated recognition of specific structures of invading pathogens initiates innate as well as adaptive immune responses via antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Interestingly, new evidence suggests that TLR signalling may directly or indirectly regulate the immunosuppressive function of CD4(+) CD25(+) Treg cells in immune responses. TLR signalling may shift the balance between CD4(+) T-helper cells and Treg cells, and subsequently influence the outcome of the immune response. This immunomodulation pathway may therefore have potential applications in the treatment of graft rejection, autoimmune diseases, infection diseases and cancers. 相似文献

A subset of CD4(+) T cells, the CD4(+) CD25(+) regulatory T (T(reg)) cells in the lymphoid organs and peripheral blood are known to possess suppressive function. Previous in vitro and in vivo studies have indicated that T cell receptor (TCR) signal is required for development of such 'natural regulatory (T(reg)) cells' and for activation of the effector function of CD4(+) CD25(+) regulatory T cells. CD5 is a cell surface molecule present on all T cells and a subtype of B lymphocytes, the B-1 cells, primarily localized to coelomic cavities, Peyer's patches, tonsils and spleen. CD5 acts as a negative regulator of T cell and B cell signaling via recruitment of SHP-1. Here, we demonstrate that T(reg) cells obtained from CD5(-/-) mice are more potent than those from wild type mice in suppressing the in vitro cell proliferation of anti-CD3 stimulated CD4(+) CD25(-) responder T cells. This phenomenon was cell contact and GITR dependent. Lack of CD5 expression on T(reg) cells (from spleen, lymph node and thymus) did not affect the intracellular levels of Foxp3. However, CD5(-/-) T(reg) thymocytes were able to elicit a higher Ca(2+) response to TCR + co-stimulatory signals than the wild type cells. CD5(-/-) mice expressed more Foxp3 mRNA in the colon than wild type mice, and additionally, the severity of the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis in CD5(-/-) mice was less than the wild type strain. We suggest that manipulation of CD5 expression or the downstream signaling components of CD4(+) CD25(+) T(reg) cells as a potential strategy for therapeutic intervention in cases of auto-immune disorders. 相似文献

CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) are critical for sustaining immunological homeostasis. CD4+CD25− conventional T cells (Tcons) are the progenitors of populations including Th1, Th2, Th17, Tfh, and Treg cells. Suppression of Tcons proliferation by Tregs requires cell–cell contact and/or is mediated by immunosuppressive soluble factors. However, upon receiving suppressive signals from Tregs, the exact molecular responses in Tcons remain elusive. Here, by using microRNA (miRNA) microarray preliminary screening and quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) validation, we showed that paralleled with the suppression of the Tcons proliferation, miR-146a was induced but miR-106b and miR-21 were reduced in Tcons upon receiving suppressive signals from Tregs. Moreover, our results showed that either increase of miR-146a or decrease of miR-106b and miR-21 by using miRNA mimics or inhibitors in Tcons significantly enhanced the suppression triggered by Tregs. However, decrease of miR-146a or increase of miR-106b and miR-21 in Tcons impaired the suppression triggered by Tregs. Collectively, our findings demonstrate the roles of miR-146a, miR-106b and miR-21 in Tcons in regulating Treg-triggered immune-suppression. 相似文献

Increase of circulating CD4+CD25+ T cells in myasthenia gravis patients with stability and thymectomy 总被引:11,自引:0,他引:11
BACKGROUND: CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells are key controllers of peripheral immunological self-tolerance and suppress various autoimmune diseases in animal models, but few studies have been done to define their roles in myasthenia gravis (MG) so far. OBJECTIVE: To investigate frequencies and dynamic changes of blood CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells from MG patients. METHODS: The peripheral blood CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells of 29 MG patients and 23 healthy controls were detected by three-color flow cytometry. RESULTS: Myasthenic patients with symptomatically uncontrollable disease showed slightly lower percentages of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells (mean = 3.79 +/- 1.40%; P = 0.12), whereas MG patients with clinically stable disease had significantly increased CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells (mean = 8.45 +/- 1.96%, P = 0.0001), as compared with healthy controls (mean = 4.53 +/- 0.96%). In addition, thymectomized MG patients had significantly higher percentages of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells (mean = 8.44 +/- 2.39%), as compared with both non-thymectomized MG patients (mean = 5.88 +/- 2.89%, P = 0.038) and healthy controls (P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: Our observations indicate that increased percentages of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells in MG patients may be related to disease stability and that thymectomy in patients with MG resulted in augmented CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells. 相似文献

Natural CD4 CD25(+) regulatory T cells control the burst of superantigen-induced cytokine production: the role of IL-10. 总被引:19,自引:0,他引:19
In normal mice a subpopulation of CD4 T cells constitutively expresses the IL-2 receptor alpha chain (CD25). This natural CD4 CD25(+) subset is thymus-born, constitutively expresses IL-10 mRNA,does not produce IL-2 and is resistant to apoptosis. These cells behave as regulatory T cells in the control of self-tolerance, inflammatory reactions and T cell homeostasis. The mechanisms by which natural CD4 CD25(+) cells control the immune response is unclear. We examined CD25-deficient mice, which over-express various cytokines, including proinflammatory molecules, after bacterial superantigen stimulation in vivo. We observed that this abnormal cytokine production could be controlled by the injection of natural CD4 CD25(+) T cells and that IL-10 production is needed, as CD4 CD25(+) T cells from IL-10 knockout mice do not correct cytokine over-production in vivo. As the circulating IL-10 produced by CD25-deficient mice was ineffective, we deduced that the key source of IL-10 was the regulatory T cell population. IL-10 is also involved in the control of cytokine production by normal T cells. However, the target of IL-10 in this control is undefined. Whether it acts directly on the effector T cells or on the regulatory CD4 CD25(+) T cells themselves to induce their functional maturation has to be clarified. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to quantify and evaluate the forkhead box P3 (FoxP3) expression regulatory T cells in new-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients before and after treatment. Forty-four newly diagnosed and untreated SLE patients, including 24 with active disease (SLEDAI > or = 10) and 20 with inactive disease (SLEDAI < 5), were enrolled in this study. Twenty-one age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers were also included as controls. Peripheral blood samples were collected and mononuclear cells isolated. The expression of CD25 and FoxP3 in CD4(+) T cells were analysed with flow cytometry. CD4(+)CD25(+) (3.95-13.04%) and CD4(+)CD25(high) (0.04-1.34%) T cells in peripheral blood in untreated patients with new-onset active lupus were significantly lower than that in the patients with inactive lupus (7.27-24.48%, P < 0.05 and 0.14-3.07% P < 0.01 respectively) and that in healthy controls (5.84-14.84%, P < 0.05). Interestingly, the decrease in CD4(+)CD25(high) T cells was restored significantly in patients with active lupus after corticosteroid treatment. There was, however, a significantly higher percentage of CD4(+)FoxP3(+) T cells in patients with active (5.30-23.00%) and inactive (7.46-17.38%) new-onset lupus patients compared with healthy control subjects (2.51-12.94%) (P < 0.01). Intriguingly, CD25 expression in CD4(+)FoxP3(+) T cells in patients with active lupus (25.24-62.47%) was significantly lower than that in those patients with inactive lupus (30.35-75.25%, P < 0.05) and healthy controls (54.83-86.38%, P < 0.01). Most strikingly, the levels of FoxP3 expression determined by mean fluorescence intensity in CD4(+)CD25(high) cells in patients with active SLE were significantly down-regulated compared with healthy subjects (130 +/- 22 versus 162 +/- 21, P = 0.012). CD4(+)CD25(high) T cells are low in new-onset patients with active SLE and restored after treatment. Despite that the percentage of CD4(+)FoxP3(+) T cells appear high, the levels of FoxP3 expression in CD4(+)CD25(high) T cells are down-regulated in untreated lupus patients. There is a disproportional expression between CD25(high) and FoxP3(+) in new-onset patients with active SLE. 相似文献

CD4+CD25+ T regulatory cells inhibit cytotoxic activity of CTL and NK cells in humans-impact of immunosenescence 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

We hypothesized that advanced age and medical conditions had an impact on the accumulation of CD4+CD25+ T regulatory cells (Treg), which in turn could deteriorate cytotoxic activity of CD8+ T and NK cells. Volunteers were divided according to the Senieur Protocol into healthy young and elderly and non-healthy young and elderly subjects. The numbers of Treg cells in peripheral blood, their influence on CD8+ T and NK cells and production of IL2 as well as apoptosis intensity of Treg cells were measured. The number of Treg cells was higher in both elderly groups than in respective young ones. Compared to healthy subjects, those with medical conditions were revealed to have higher numbers of Treg cells. In addition, the highest accumulation of Treg cells in non-healthy elderly could be a result of their resistance to undergo apoptosis. The frequency of Treg cells correlated inversely with the activity of autologous cytotoxic cells in PBMC and production of IL2 by autologous CD4+CD25- Th cells. Thus, these parameters were the most highly decreased in non-healthy subjects, notably in the elderly. However, these parameters improved in the cultures of pure sorted cells. The only subset capable of decreasing them to the levels noted in PBMC when added back was Treg cells, which proved the link between the number of Treg cells, cytotoxic activity and production of IL2. Concluding, we found that Treg accumulated as a result of ageing and/or medical conditions were capable of decreasing cytotoxic activity of CD8+ T and NK cells and production of IL2. 相似文献

CD4+CD25+ T regulatory cells inhibit cytotoxic activity of T CD8+ and NK lymphocytes in the direct cell-to-cell interaction 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

There are reports suggesting an influence of CD4(+)CD25(+) T regulatory cells (Treg) on cytotoxic lymphocytes. The aim of the study was to evaluate such an influence. Cytotoxic activity was examined in the cultures of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) as well as in the cultures of separate T CD8(+) or NK cells mixed with Treg and other subpopulations of PBMC. We found that the production of IFNgamma, perforin and cytotoxic activity of T CD8(+) or NK cells were decreased in the presence of Treg, however, the percentage of conjugates formed by cytotoxic cells with target cells during cytotoxic reaction was decreased only in the cultures of T CD8(+) cells. Inhibition of the cytotoxic reactions in the presence of Treg cells was found to be associated with the generation of conglomerates formed by CD4(+)CD25(+) and the cytotoxic cells, as observed under the fluorescence microscope. Treg produced IL10 when mixed with the cytotoxic lymphocytes, however, an addition of anti-IL10 mAb into the cultures did not affect the results. It is concluded that Treg were able to inhibit both T CD8+ and NK lymphocyte cytotoxic activities in a direct cell-to-cell interaction. Treg decreased the number of T CD8+ cells attached to the target cells, while the mechanism underlying a decrease in NK cytotoxicity remained unclear. 相似文献

The factors that influence the functionality of human CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells are not well understood. We sought to characterize the effects of dendritic cells (DCs) on the in vitro regulatory activity of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells obtained from peripheral blood of healthy human donors. Flow cytometry showed that a higher proportion of CD4(+)CD25(+(High)) T cells expressed surface glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor family-related protein (GITR) and CTL-associated antigen 4 than CD4(+)CD25(-) or CD4(+)CD25(+(Med-low)) T cells. Intracellular Foxp3 was equivalently expressed on CD4(+)CD25(+(All)), CD4(+)CD25(+(High)), CD4(+)CD25(+(Med-low)) and CD4(+)CD25(-) T cell populations, irrespective of GITR and CTL-associated antigen 4 expression. CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells were isolated and then cultured in vitro with CD4(+)CD25(-) responder T cells and stimulated with anti-CD3 antibodies, and immature dendritic cells (iDCs), mature dendritic cells (mDCs), PBMCs or PBMCs plus anti-CD28 antibodies to provide co-stimulation. In addition, secretion of the T(h)1 cytokine IFN-gamma, IL-2 and the immunoregulatory cytokines, IL-10 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta, were also assessed in these cultures. We found that iDCs and mDCs were capable of reversing the suppression of proliferation mediated by CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells. However, the reversal of suppression by DCs was not dependent upon the increase of IFN-gamma and IL-2 production or inhibition of IL-10 and/or TGF-beta production. Therefore, DCs are able to reverse the suppressive effect of regulatory T cells independent of cytokine production. These results suggest for the first time that human DCs possess unique abilities which allow them to influence the functions of regulatory T cells in order to provide fine-tuning in the regulation of T cell responses. 相似文献

CD25 has become widely used as a marker for a subset of regulatory CD4(+) T cells present in the thymus and periphery of mice, rats and humans. However, CD25 is also expressed on conventionally activated T cells that are not regulatory and not all peripheral regulatory T cells express CD25. The identification of a stable and unique marker for regulatory T cells would therefore be valuable. This study provides a detailed account of the phenotype of CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells in rats. In the thymus, CD4(+)CD8(-)CD25(+) cells were found to have a more mature phenotype than the corresponding CD4(+)CD8(-)CD25(-) cells with respect to expression of Thy1 (CD90), CD53 and CD44, suggesting that CD25 expression, and perhaps commitment to regulatory function, might be a late event in thymocyte development. CD4(+)CD25(+) cells in both the thymus and periphery were found to have enriched and heterogeneous expression of activation markers such as OX40 (CD134) and OX48 (an antibody determined in this study to be specific for CD86). CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells were also found to have enriched expression of CD80, at both the mRNA and protein level. However, functional studies in vitro and in vivo showed that neither OX40 or CD86 were useful markers for the further subdivision of regulatory T cells. Our studies indicate that, at present, CD25 remains the most useful marker to enrich for regulatory CD4(+) T cells in rats and no further subdivision of the regulatory component of CD4(+)CD25(-)CD45RC(low) T cells has yet been achieved. 相似文献

Total glucosides of paeony (TGP), an active compound extracted from Paeony root, has been used in therapy for autoimmune diseases. However the molecular mechanism of TGP in the prevention of autoimmune response remains unclear. In this study, we found that TGP treatment significantly increased the percentage and number of Treg cells in lupus CD4(+) T cells. Further investigation revealed that treatment with TGP increased the expression of Foxp3 in lupus CD4(+) T cells by down-regulating Foxp3 promoter methylation levels. However, we couldn't observe similar results in healthy control CD4(+) T cells treated by TGP. Moreover, our results also showed that IFN-γ and IL-2 expression was enhanced in TGP-treated lupus CD4(+) T cells. These findings indicate that TGP inhibits autoimmunity in SLE patients possibly by inducing Treg cell differentiation, which may in turn be due to its ability to regulate the methylation status of the Foxp3 promoter and activate IFN-γ and IL-2 signaling. 相似文献

A number of epidemiological and clinical studies have suggested an inverse association between allergy and helminth infection, such as Schistosomiasis. Therefore, we hypothesize that Schistosoma japonicum egg antigens, a type of native antigen, can induce production of CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells with regulatory activity, modulating airway inflammation and inhibiting asthma development. The frequency of CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells was determined by flow cytometry for mice treated with ovalbumin (OVA), CD25(+) depletion/OVA, schistosome egg antigens, schistosome egg antigens/OVA and for control mice. The ability of CD25(+) T cells from these mice to suppress T-cell proliferation and cytokine production was investigated both in vivo and in vitro. Results showed that the CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells of OVA-treated mice exhibited impaired control of dysregulated mucosal T helper 2 responses compared to the controls (P < 0.05). Depletion of CD25(+) cells accelerated OVA-induced airway inflammation and increased the expression of interleukin (IL)-5 and IL-4. Treatment with schistosome egg antigens increased the number and suppressive activity of CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells, which made IL-10, but little IL-4. In a murine model of asthma, S. japonicum egg antigens decreased the expression of Th2 cytokines, relieved antigen-induced airway inflammation, and inhibited asthma development. Thus, we provided evidence that S. japonicum egg antigens induced the production of CD4(+) CD25(+) T cells, resulting in constitutive immunosuppressive activity and inhibition of asthma development. These results reveal a novel form of protection against asthma and suggest a mechanistic explanation for the protective effect of helminth infection on the development of allergy. 相似文献

Ocular herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection results in an immune-mediated inflammation of the corneal stroma known as herpetic stromal keratitis (HSK). Recurrent HSK is a common cause of virus-induced corneal blindness in humans. The role of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell subsets in the disease pathogenesis is ill defined and varies with the virus strain and host genetic background. To examine the contribution of T cell subsets to corneal disease, we studied the development of recurrent HSK in CD4 or CD8 gene knockout (KO) mice ocularly infected with HSV-1 McKrae strain. Following UV-B induced viral reactivation, corneal opacity in latently infected BALB/c (HSV sensitive) CD4 and CD8 KO mice was reduced compared to infected BALB/c mice with normal genotype. In contrast, opacity in C57BL/6 (HSV resistant) CD4 and CD8 KO latent mice did not differ from genetically normal latent mice. Virus-induced corneal opacity was not demonstrable in C57BL/6 CD4/CD8 double KO mice. Increased viral shedding, measured by reactivation rate, days shedding or viral titers, occurred in CD4 KO mice of both strains. Our findings indicate that both CD4(+) and CD8(+) cells play a role in the immunopathogenesis of recurrent HSK, and their role is dependent upon the host genetic profile. 相似文献

As a tumour necrosis factor receptor superfamily member, 4-1BB (CD137) is preferentially expressed in CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) and has been suggested to play an important role in regulating the generation or function of Tregs. Recent studies of human Tregs have shown that blood CD4+CD25(high) T cells were much closer to Tregs in terms of their functionality. Furthermore, CD4+CD25(high) Tregs have been found to have a decreased effector function in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). In this study, we examined the expression of 4-1BB and soluble 4-1BB (s4-1BB) protein levels in the peripheral blood of MS patients. Compared with healthy controls, MS patients had decreased 4-1BB expression in their CD4+C25(high) Tregs and increased plasma s4-1BB protein levels. Moreover, the plasma s4-1BB levels of MS patients were shown to be inversely correlated with the 4-1BB surface expression of CD4+CD25(high) Tregs. The down-regulated 4-1BB expression on CD4+CD25(high) Tregs of MS patients may be involved in the impaired immunoactivity of these Tregs. The elevated s4-1BB levels may, at least in part, function as a self-regulatory attempt to inhibit antigen-driven proliferation of Tregs or their immunosuppressive activity. 相似文献
