The inhibitory receptor killer cell lectin‐like receptor G1 (KLRG1) and the integrin αE (CD103) are expressed by CD8+ T cells and both are specific for E‐cadherin. However, KLRG1 ligation by E‐cadherin inhibits effector T‐cell function, whereas binding of CD103 to E‐cadherin enhances cell–cell interaction and promotes target cell lysis. Here, we demonstrate that KLRG1 and CD103 expression in CD8+ T cells from untreated and virus‐infected mice are mutually exclusive. Inverse correlation of KLRG1 and CD103 expression was also found in human CD8+ T cells‐infiltrating hepatocellular carcinomas. As TGF‐β is known to induce CD103 expression in CD8+ T cells, we examined whether this cytokine also regulates KLRG1 expression. Indeed, our data further reveal that TGF‐β signaling in mouse as well as in human CD8+ T cells downregulates KLRG1 expression. This finding provides a rationale for the reciprocal expression of KLRG1 and CD103 in different CD8+ T‐cell subsets. In addition, it points to the limitation of KLRG1 as a marker for terminally differentiated CD8+ T cells if lymphocytes from tissues expressing high levels of TGF‐β are analyzed. 相似文献

The initial requirement for the emergence of CMV‐specific CD8+ T cells is poorly understood. Mice deficient in the cosignaling TNF superfamily member, 4‐1BB, surprisingly developed exaggerated early CD8+ T‐cell responses to mouse CMV (MCMV). CD8+ T cells directed against acute MCMV epitopes were enhanced, demonstrating that 4‐1BB naturally antagonizes these primary populations. Paradoxically, 4‐1BB‐deficient mice displayed reduced accumulation of memory CD8+ T cells that expand during chronic/latent infection. Importantly, the canonical TNF‐related ligand, 4‐1BBL, promoted the accumulation of these memory CD8+ T cells, whereas suppression of acute CD8+ T cells was independent of 4‐1BBL. These data highlight the dual nature of the 4‐1BB/4‐1BBL system in mediating both stimulatory and inhibitory cosignaling activities during the generation of anti‐MCMV immunity. 相似文献

Immune senescence as well as disturbed CD8+ T cell differentiation are a hallmark of chronic HIV infection. Here, we investigated to what extent immune senescence is reversible after initiation of anti‐retroviral treatment (ART). Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from a cohort of HIV patients with different disease courses, including untreated viral controllers (n = 10), viral non‐controllers (n = 16) and patients on ART (n = 20), were analysed and compared to uninfected controls (n = 25) by flow cytometry on bulk and HIV‐specific major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I tetramer+ CD8+ T cells for expression of the memory markers CCR7 and CD45RO, as well as the senescence marker CD57 and the differentiation and survival marker CD127. Furthermore, a subset of patients was analysed longitudinally before and after initiation of ART. Frequencies of CD57+CD8+ T cells decreased after initiation of ART in central memory (Tcm) but not in effector memory T cell populations (TemRO and TemRA). The frequency of CD127+CD8+ cells increased in Tcm and TemRO. We observed a reduction of CD127– T cells in Tcm, TemRO and partially in TemRA subsets after initiation of ART. Importantly, HIV‐specific CD8+ TemRO cells predominantly displayed a CD127–CD57+ phenotype in untreated HIV‐patients, whereas the CD127+CD57– phenotype was under‐represented in these patients. The frequency of the CD127+CD57–CD8+ T cell subpopulation correlated strongly with absolute CD4+ counts in HIV‐infected patients before and after initiation of ART. These findings can be interpreted as a phenotypical correlate of CD8+ memory T cell differentiation and the premature ‘ageing’ of the immune system, which was even observed in successfully virally suppressed HIV patients. 相似文献

The specificity of the αβ T cell receptor for class I or class II major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules determines whether a mature T cell will be of the CD4?CD8+ or CD4+CD8? phenotype, respectively. We show here that a human CD4 transgene can rescue a significant fraction of CD4?CD8+ T cells in β2-microglobulin-deficient mice. Cells with this phenotype could be induced to become potent killers of targets expressing allogeneic MHC antigens, indicating that lineage commitment can precede the rescue of developing cells by the T cell receptor for antigen and the CD4 coreceptor. 相似文献

Glucocorticoids (GCs) are released from the adrenal gland during inflammation and help to keep immune responses at bay. Owing to their potent anti‐inflammatory activity, GCs also play a key role in controlling acute graft‐versus‐host disease (aGvHD). Here we demonstrate that mice lacking the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in T cells develop fulminant disease after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation. In a fully MHC‐mismatched model, transfer of GR‐deficient T cells resulted in severe aGvHD symptoms and strongly decreased survival times. Histopathological features were aggravated and infiltration of CD8+ T cells into the jejunum was increased when the GR was not expressed. Furthermore, serum levels of IL‐2, IFNγ, and IL‐17 were elevated and the cytotoxicity of CD8+ T cells was enhanced after transfer of GR‐deficient T cells. Short‐term treatment with dexamethasone reduced cytokine secretion but neither impacted disease severity nor the CTLs' cytolytic capacity. Importantly, in an aGvHD model in which disease development exclusively depends on the presence of CD8+ T cells in the transplant, transfer of GR‐deficient T cells aggravated clinical symptoms and reduced survival times as well. Taken together, our findings highlight that suppression of CD8+ T‐cell function is a crucial mechanism in the control of aGvHD by endogenous GCs.

Although CD8+ Treg‐mediated suppression has been described, CD8+ Treg remain poorly characterized. Here we identify a novel subset of CD8+ Treg that express latency‐associated peptide (LAP) on their cell surface (CD8+LAP+ cells) and exhibit regulatory activity in vitro and in vivo. Only a small fraction of CD8+LAP+ cells express Foxp3 or CD25, although the expression levels of Foxp3 for these cells are higher than their LAP? counterparts. In addition to TGF‐β, CD8+LAP+ cells produce IFN‐γ, and these cells suppress EAE that is dependent on both TGF‐β and IFN‐γ. In an adoptive co‐transfer model, CD8+LAP+ cells suppress myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)‐specific immune responses by inducing or expanding Foxp3+ cells and by inhibiting proliferation and IFN‐γ production in vivo. Furthermore, in vivo neutralization of IFN‐γ and studies with IFN‐γ‐deficient mice demonstrate an important role for IFN‐γ production in the function of CD8+LAP+ cells. Our findings identify the underlying mechanisms that account for the immunoregulatory activity of CD8+ T cells and suggest that induction or amplification of CD8+LAP+ cells may be a therapeutic strategy to help control autoimmune processes. 相似文献

Infection with Listeria monocytogenes triggers the activation and expansion of nonconventional CD8+ T cells restricted by the MHC class Ib molecule, H2‐M3. H2‐M3‐restricted CD8+ T cells exhibit a memory phenotype, rapidly produce cytokines, and reach peak frequencies sooner than conventional MHC class Ia‐restricted CD8+ T cells. In this study, we found that simultaneous in vivo priming of H2‐M3‐restricted T cells and adoptively transferred OT‐II CD4+ T cells on the same DC enhances the survival of OT‐II cells. Stimulation of H2‐M3‐restricted T cells were found to induce DC maturation resulting in costimulatory molecule upregulation and production of TH1‐type cytokines, which was dependent on both cell‐to‐cell contact and soluble factors, particularly TNF‐α, produced by activated H2‐M3‐restricted T cells. Interestingly, H2‐M3‐restricted T cells were more efficient than activated NK cells in inducing DC maturation. Furthermore, we found that OVA323–339‐coated DC matured by coculturing with peptide‐stimulated H2‐M3‐restricted T cells were more efficient in stimulating the proliferation of Ag‐activated OT‐II cells. This study indicates that H2‐M3‐restricted T cells promote immune responses by CD4+ T cells by inducing DC maturation and suggests novel mechanisms for vaccine development. 相似文献

CD4+ T cells are important for CD8+ T‐cell priming by providing cognate signals for DC maturation. We analyzed the capacity of CD4+ T cells to influence CD8+ T‐cell responses induced by activated DC. Surprisingly, mice depleted for CD4+ cells were able to generate stronger antigen‐specific CD8+ T‐cell responses after DC vaccination than non‐depleted mice. The same observation was made when mice were vaccinated with MHC class II?/? DC, indicating the presence of a MHC class II‐dependent CD4+ T‐cell population inhibiting CD8+ T‐cell responses. Recently we described the expansion of DX5+CD4+ T cells, a T‐cell population displaying immune regulatory properties, upon vaccination with DC. Intriguingly, we now observe an inverse correlation between CD8+ T‐cell induction and expansion of DX5+CD4+ T cells as the latter cells did not expand after vaccination with MHC class II?/? DC. In vitro, DX5+CD4+ T cells were able to limit proliferation, modulate cytokine production and induce Foxp3+ expression in OVA‐specific CD8+ T cells. Together, our data show an inhibitory role of CD4+ T cells on the induction of CD8+ T‐cell responses by activated DC and indicate the involvement of DX5+CD4+, but not CD4+CD25+, T cells in this process. 相似文献

The molecular definition of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I‐presented CD8+ T‐cell epitopes from clinically relevant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) target proteins will aid in the rational design of T‐cell‐based diagnostics of tuberculosis (TB) and the measurement of TB vaccine‐take. We used an epitope discovery system, based on recombinant MHC class I molecules that cover the most frequent Caucasian alleles [human leucocyte antigen (HLA)‐A*0101, A*0201, A*0301, A*1101, A*2402, B*0702, B*0801 and B*1501], to identify MHC class I‐binding peptides from overlapping 9‐mer peptides representing the Mtb protein TB10.4. A total of 33 MHC class I‐binding epitopes were identified, spread across the entire amino acid sequence, with some clustering at the N‐ and C‐termini of the protein. Binding of individual peptides or closely related peptide species to different MHC class I alleles was frequently observed. For instance, the common motif of xIMYNYPAMx bound to six of eight alleles. Affinity (50% effective dose) and off‐rate (half life) analysis of candidate Mtb peptides will help to define the conditions for CD8+ T‐cell interaction with their nominal MHC class I‐peptide ligands. Subsequent construction of tetramers allowed us to confirm the recognition of some of the epitopes by CD8+ T cells from patients with active pulmonary TB. HLA‐B alleles served as the dominant MHC class I restricting molecules for anti‐Mtb TB10.4‐specific CD8+ T‐cell responses measured in CD8+ T cells from patients with pulmonary TB. 相似文献

In contrast to thymic epithelial cells, which induce the positive selection of conventional CD8+ T cells, hematopoietic cells (HCs) select innate CD8+ T cells whose Ag specificity is not fully understood. Here we show that CD8+ T cells expressing an H‐Y Ag‐specific Tg TCR were able to develop in mice in which only HCs expressed MHC class I, when HCs also expressed the H‐Y Ag. These HC‐selected self‐specific CD8+ T cells resemble innate CD8+ T cells in WT mice in terms of the expression of memory markers and effector functions, but are phenotypically distinct from the thymus‐independent CD8+ T‐cell population. The peripheral maintenance of H‐Y‐specific CD8+ T cells required presentation of the self‐Ag and IL‐15 on HCs. HC‐selected CD8+ T cells in mice lacking the Tg TCR also showed these features. Furthermore, by using MHC class I tetramers with a male Ag peptide, we found that self‐Ag‐specific CD8+ T cells in TCR non‐Tg mice could develop via HC‐induced positive selection, supporting results obtained from H‐Y TCR Tg mice. These findings indicate the presence of self‐specific CD8+ T cells that are positively selected by HCs in the peripheral T‐cell repertoire. 相似文献

Recognition of viral antigenic peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex class I molecules (MHCI) by TCR is critical for initiating the responses of CD8+ T cells that ultimately lead to elimination of virus‐infected cells. This antigen recognition is enhanced by the CD8 coreceptor through its interaction with the peptide‐MHCI complexes (pMHCI). Mouse CD8αβ can form two different complexes with pMHCI via either the CD8α‐ or CD8β‐dominated interaction. To understand the functional significance of these complexes in vivo, we generated Tg mice carrying a variant CD8αβ (CD8αm3β) capable of forming only the CD8β‐dominated CD8αβ/pMHCI complex. These mice show sub‐optimal thymic differentiation with reduced populations of CD8+ single‐positive thymocytes. Tg CD8+ T cells exhibit a compromised developmental capacity when competing with CD8+ T cells from B6 mice in mixed bone marrow chimera experiments. However, once these CD8+ T cells have emigrated to the peripheral lymphoid organs, they exhibit normal effector function against viral infection. Our observations indicate that, in addition to the CD8 activity conferred by CD8β‐dominated CD8αβ/pMHCI complexes, full thymocyte differentiation requires additional coreceptor activities conferred by CD8αα and/or CD8αβ with CD8α‐dominated CD8/pMHCI complexes. 相似文献

Immune responses to protein antigens involve CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, which follow distinct programs of differentiation. Naïve CD8 T cells rapidly develop cytotoxic T‐cell (CTL) activity after T‐cell receptor stimulation, and we have previously shown that this is accompanied by suppressive activity in the presence of specific cytokines, i.e. IL‐12 and IL‐4. Cytokine‐induced CD8+ regulatory T (Treg) cells are one of several Treg‐cell phenotypes and are Foxp3? IL‐10+ with contact‐dependent suppressive capacity. Here, we show they also express high level CD39, an ecto‐nucleotidase that degrades extracellular ATP, and this contributes to their suppressive activity. CD39 expression was found to be upregulated on CD8+ T cells during peripheral tolerance induction in vivo, accompanied by release of IL‐12 and IL‐10. CD39 was also upregulated during respiratory tolerance induction to inhaled allergen and on tumor‐infiltrating CD8+ T cells. Production of IL‐10 and expression of CD39 by CD8+ T cells was independently regulated, being respectively blocked by extracellular ATP and enhanced by an A2A adenosine receptor agonist. Our results suggest that any CTL can develop suppressive activity when exposed to specific cytokines in the absence of alarmins. Thus negative feedback controls CTL expansion under regulation from both nucleotide and cytokine environment within tissues. 相似文献

Regulatory B (Breg) cells have been shown to play a critical role in immune homeostasis and in autoimmunity models. We have recently demonstrated that combined anti‐T cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain‐1 and anti‐CD45RB antibody treatment results in tolerance to full MHC‐mismatched islet allografts in mice by generating Breg cells that are necessary for tolerance. Breg cells are antigen‐specific and are capable of transferring tolerance to untreated, transplanted animals. Here, we demonstrate that adoptively transferred Breg cells require the presence of regulatory T (Treg) cells to establish tolerance, and that adoptive transfer of Breg cells increases the number of Treg cells. Interaction with Breg cells in vivo induces significantly more Foxp3 expression in CD4+CD25? T cells than with naive B cells. We also show that Breg cells express the TGF‐β associated latency‐associated peptide and that Breg‐cell mediated graft prolongation post‐adoptive transfer is abrogated by neutralization of TGF‐β activity. Breg cells, like Treg cells, demonstrate preferential expression of both C‐C chemokine receptor 6 and CXCR3. Collectively, these findings suggest that in this model of antibody‐induced transplantation tolerance, Breg cells promote graft survival by promoting Treg‐cell development, possibly via TGF‐β production. 相似文献

Interleukin‐15 (IL‐15) is an inflammatory cytokine whose role in autoimmune diseases has not been fully elucidated. Th17 cells have been shown to play critical roles in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) models. In this study, we demonstrate that blockade of IL‐15 signaling by TMβ‐1 mAb treatment aggravated EAE severity. The key mechanism was not NK‐cell depletion but depletion of CD8+CD122+ T cells. Adoptive transfer of exogenous CD8+CD122+ T cells to TMβ‐1‐treated mice rescued animals from severe disease. Moreover, transfer of preactivated CD8+CD122+ T cells prevented EAE development and significantly reduced IL‐17 secretion. Naïve effector CD4+CD25? T cells cultured with either CD8+CD122+ T cells from wild‐type mice or IL‐15 transgenic mice displayed lower frequencies of IL‐17A production with lower amounts of IL‐17 in the supernatants when compared with production by effector CD4+CD25? T cells cultured alone. Addition of a neutralizing antibody to IL‐10 led to recovery of IL‐17A production in Th17 cultures. Furthermore, coculture of CD8+CD122+ T cells with effector CD4+ T cells inhibited their proliferation significantly, suggesting a regulatory function for IL‐15 dependent CD8+CD122+ T cells. Taken together, these observations suggest that IL‐15, acting through CD8+CD122+ T cells, has a negative regulatory role in reducing IL‐17 production and Th17‐mediated EAE inflammation. 相似文献

Anti‐CD137 mAb are capable of inducing tumor rejection in several syngeneic murine tumor models and are undergoing clinical trials for cancer. The anti‐tumor effect involves co‐stimulation of tumor‐specific CD8+ T cells. Whether antigen cross‐presenting DC are required for the efficacy of anti‐CD137 mAb treatment has never been examined. Here we show that the administration of anti‐CD137 mAb eradicates EG7‐OVA tumors by a strictly CD8β+ T‐cell‐dependent mechanism that correlates with increased CTL activity. Ex vivo analyses to determine the identity of the draining lymph node cell type responsible for tumor antigen cross‐presentation revealed that CD11c+ cells, most likely DC, are the main players in this tumor model. A minute number of tumor cells, revealed by the presence of OVA cDNA, reach tumor‐draining lymph nodes. Direct antigen presentation by tumor cells themselves also participates in anti‐OVA CTL induction. Using CD11c diphtheria toxin receptor‐green fluorescent protein→C57BL/6 BM chimeric mice, which allow for sustained ablation of DC with diphtheria toxin, we confirmed the involvement of DC in tumor antigen cross‐presentation in CTL induction against OVA257–264 epitope and in the antitumor efficacy induced by anti‐CD137 mAb. 相似文献

Interleukin‐10 (IL‐10) plays a key role in regulating proinflammatory immune responses to infection but can interfere with pathogen clearance. Although IL‐10 is upregulated throughout HIV‐1 infection in multiple cell subsets, whether this is a viral immune evasion strategy or an appropriate response to immune activation is unresolved. Analysis of IL‐10 production at the single cell level in 51 chronically infected subjects (31 antiretroviral (ART) naïve and 20 ART treated) showed that a subset of CD8+ T cells with a CD25neg FoxP3neg phenotype contributes substantially to IL‐10 production in response to HIV‐1 gag stimulation. The frequencies of gag‐specific IL‐10‐ and IFN‐γ‐producing T cells in ART‐naïve subjects were strongly correlated and the majority of these IL‐10+ CD8+ T cells co‐produced IFN‐γ; however, patients with a predominant IL‐10+/IFN‐γneg profile showed better control of viraemia. Depletion of HIV‐specific CD8+ IL‐10+ cells from PBMCs led to upregulation of CD38 on CD14+ monocytes together with increased IL‐6 production, in response to gag stimulation. Increased CD38 expression was positively correlated with the frequency of the IL‐10+ population and was also induced by exposure of monocytes to HIV‐1 in vitro. Production of IL‐10 by HIV‐specific CD8+ T cells may represent an adaptive regulatory response to monocyte activation during chronic infection. 相似文献

Previous studies on the MHC class‐specific differentiation of CD4+CD8+ thymocytes into CD4+ and CD8+ T cells have focused on the role of coreceptor molecules. However, CD4 and CD8 T cells develop according to their MHC class specificities even in these mice lacking coreceptors. This study investigated the possibility that lineage is determined not only by coreceptors, but is also guided by the way how MHC molecules are presented. MHC class II molecules possess a highly conserved Cys in their transmembrane domain, which is palmitoylated and thereby associates with lipid rafts, whereas neither palmitoylation nor raft association was observed with MHC class I molecules. The generation of CD4 T cells was impaired and that of CD8 T cells was augmented when the rafts on the thymic epithelial cells were disrupted. This was due to the conversion of MHC class II‐specific thymocytes from the CD4 lineage to CD8. The ability of I‐Ad molecule to associate with rafts was lost when its transmembrane Cys was replaced. The development of DO11.10 thymocytes recognizing this mutant I‐Adm was converted from CD4 to CD8. These results suggest that the CD4 lineage commitment is directed by the raft‐associated presentation of MHC class II molecules. 相似文献

Although Treg‐cell‐mediated suppression during infection or autoimmunity has been described, functions of Treg cells during highly pathogenic avian influenza virus infection remain poorly characterized. Here we found that in Foxp3‐GFP transgenic mice, CD8+ Foxp3+ Treg cells, but not CD4+ Foxp3+ Treg cells, were remarkably induced during H5N1 infection. In addition to expressing CD25, the CD8+ Foxp3+ Treg cells showed a high level of GITR and produced IL‐10. In an adoptive transfer model, CD8+ Treg cells suppressed CD8+ T‐cell responses and promoted H5N1 virus infection, resulting in enhanced mortality and increased virus load in the lung. Furthermore, in vitro neutralization of IL‐10 and studies with IL‐10R‐deficient mice in vitro and in vivo demonstrated an important role for IL‐10 production in the capacity of CD8+ Treg cells to inhibit CD8+ T‐cell responses. Our findings identify a previously unrecognized role of CD8+ Treg cells in the negative regulation of CD8+ T‐cell responses and suggest that modulation of CD8+ Treg cells may be a therapeutic strategy to control H5N1 viral infection. 相似文献
