BACKGROUND: Homeostatic proliferation of T cells has recently been shown to be an important mechanism in the host response to infection. However, its role in the T cell response to burn injury is unknown. In this study, we examine the effect of burn injury on CD4+ and CD8+ T cell homeostatic proliferation after irradiation. METHODS: Wild-type C57BL/6 female mice were irradiated with six grays ionizing radiation and 48 hours later, syngeneic whole splenocytes or purified CD4+ or CD8+ T cells labeled with carboxy-fluorescein diacetate, succinimidyl ester were adoptively transferred. Two days later, mice underwent a 20% burn injury, followed by splenocyte harvest 3 and 10 days after injury. RESULTS: Burn mice demonstrate increased splenic cellularity and CD8+ T cell proliferation after adoptive transfer of either purified CD8+ cells or whole spleen populations compared with unburned (sham) mice. In contrast, CD4+ T cell proliferation after burn injury is unchanged after adoptive transfer of whole spleen cells and drastically decreased after adoptive transfer of a purified CD4+ population compared with sham mice. Ten days after burn injury CD8+ T cells continue to demonstrate greater proliferation than CD4+ T cells. CONCLUSIONS: CD8+ T cells are more robust than CD4+ T cells in their proliferative response after burn injury. In addition, CD8+ T cell proliferation appears less reliant on other immune cells than purified CD4+ T cell proliferation. These data reiterate the importance of CD8+ T cells in the initial immune response to burn injury. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Burn injury is associated with a dynamic T cell response. We have previously reported an enhanced functional T cell response 14 days after burn injury. Toll-like receptors (TLR), primarily expressed on innate immune cells, have recently been identified on certain T cell subsets, including activated and memory T cells. Our hypothesis is that increased TLR4 expression on memory T cells may be a mechanism for enhanced T cell response 14 days after burn injury. METHODS: Splenocytes from wild-type C57Bl/6 mice were harvested 14 days after a 20% total body surface area (TBSA) scald burn or sham injury. Splenocytes ex vivo were surface stained either with monoclonal anti-CD3, anti-CD4, anti-CD8, or anti-CD44 antibodies or a two-step biotin-TLR4 monoclonal antibody-streptavidin-FITC surface stain and results analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS: TLR4 expression is successfully detected on CD4 and CD8 T cells. TLR4 expression is significantly (p < 0.05) increased on CD4 T cells and CD8 T cells 14 days after burn injury. There is a significant (p < 0.05) increase in CD44 (memory) CD4 and CD44 (memory) CD8 T cells 14 days after burn injury and this is associated with a significant (p < 0.05) increase of TLR4 expression in both T cell populations. CONCLUSIONS: This study demonstrates for the first time the potential role of TLR4 expression on memory T cells generated late after burn injury. Although further analysis is required, these data reiterate the importance of adaptive immunity and the complexity of the immune response to burn injury. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury is associated with delayed graft function and decreased long-term allograft function. However, most experimental studies evaluating renal I/R injury have focused on acute events after ischemia. T cells are potential candidates to link preservation injury, alloimmunity, and fibrosis. We hypothesized that severe renal I/R injury would generate long-term kidney damage and immune changes. METHODS: C57BL/6 mice underwent 60 minutes of warm unilateral I/R injury or sham surgery and were studied for 6 weeks. Serum creatinine, renal histology, and albumin excretion were measured. Phagocyte infiltration, CD4+ infiltration, renal cytokine expression, and splenic lymphocyte intracellular cytokine production were also measured in mice at 6 weeks. RESULTS: Serum creatinine levels rose following 60 minutes of unilateral I/R injury compared to sham mice. Histologic analysis of ischemic kidneys at 6 weeks revealed a pronounced loss of tubular architecture and infiltration of inflammatory cells. Phagocyte and CD4+ T-cell infiltration were significantly increased in ischemic kidneys. This was accompanied by a significant increase in interleukin (IL)-1beta and regulated upon activation, normal T-cell expressed and secreted (RANTES) expression. Despite similar splenic CD4 and CD8 numbers, intracellular cytokine staining of T cells revealed a significant increase in interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) in I/R injury mice compared to sham mice. CONCLUSION: Persistent renal and extrarenal immune responses occur after a single episode of severe I/R injury. These immune processes resulting from injury could in turn have long-term consequences on progression of renal disease in transplanted and native kidneys. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Recent findings indicate that severe injury primes the immune system for an enhanced and lethal proinflammatory cytokine response against bacterial-derived superantigens. This study asked whether this response to injury involves the CD95 (Fas) signaling pathway. METHODS: To assess superantigen-mediated mortality, wild-type (WT) C57BL/6 and Fas-deficient C57BL/6 lpr (-/-) (lpr) mice underwent burn or sham injury and were challenged 2 hours later with staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB). Spleen cells from sham and burn WT or lpr mice were stimulated in vitro with SEB to assess injury effects on IL-2, TNF-alpha, and IFN-gamma production. RESULTS: Lpr burn mice survived the SEB challenge (100% survival), while WT burn mice showed a high mortality (17% survival, P < 001, analysis of variance [ANOVA]). Sham lpr or WT mice suffered no mortality to the SEB challenge. In vitro studies demonstrated that burn lpr mice produced significantly less TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, IL-2 than burn WT mice (P <.01, ANOVA). Burn injury markedly enhanced SEB-stimulated IFN-gamma production by WT spleen cells and CD8+ T cells, while this did not occur in SEB-stimulated lpr spleen cells. CONCLUSIONS: These findings support the hypothesis that the CD95 (Fas) signaling pathway plays an integral role in the injury-induced enhanced and lethal T-cell reactivity against bacterial superantigens. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Apoptosis is a stereotypical pathway of cell death that is orchestrated by a family of cysteine endoproteases called caspases. This study examined the effect of apoptosis inhibition with a specific caspase inhibitor on murine intestinal viability after ischemia-reperfusion (IR). METHODS: C57Bl6 X SV129 mice underwent segmental small bowel ischemia by vascular isolation of 10 cm of terminal ileum. In separate experiments, the ischemic time was varied from 30 to 130 minutes with a reperfusion interval of 6 hours. The degree of small bowel injury was quantified from 1 to 5 (increasing severity) by standardized, blinded histologic grading. The degree of apoptosis was assessed with a specific assay (terminal deoxyamcleotydil transferase-mediated deoxyuridine triphosphate nick end labeling [TUNEL]) and quantified by calculating the apoptotic index (apoptotic cells/10 high-power fields). To evaluate for activation of interleukin-1beta converting enzyme we measured tissue mature interleukin-1beta levels using a specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. To evaluate the effect of apoptosis inhibition on intestinal viability after IR, mice received 3.0 mg of the caspase inhibitor ZVAD (N-benzyloxycarbonyl Val-Ala-Asp-Ome-fluoromethylketone) subcutaneously before and after IR in five divided doses (n = 11), the same dose of ZFA (N-benzyloxycarbonyl Phe-Ala fluoromethylketone), a structurally similar molecule with no anticaspase activity (n = 9), or sham operation (n = 6). RESULTS: A linear relationship existed between ischemic interval and histologic grade (r = 0.69, P <.006). Increasing the ischemic interval from 0 to 50 minutes was associated with a fivefold increase in apoptotic index (P =.05). Ischemic bowel was measured to have an average of 57.3 +/- 7.8 pg/mL whereas normal bowel had an average of 1.8 +/- 0.5 pg/mL of mature interleukin-1beta present. Mice tolerated multiple injections of ZVAD and ZFA without signs of toxicity. Animals treated with ZVAD (apoptosis inhibitor) had little injury after 50 minutes of ischemia and 6 hours of reperfusion (injury grade 1.8) compared with sham controls (injury grade 1.2, P =.7) and had significantly less injury than mice treated with ZFA (placebo) (injury grade 3.0, P <.006). CONCLUSIONS: Increasing ischemic interval in a segmental small bowel murine IR model is associated with increased histologic injury and augmented apoptosis as evidenced by increased TUNEL staining and interleukin-1beta converting enzyme activation. Inhibition of apoptosis with a specific caspase inhibitor significantly diminishes the degree of small bowel injury. 相似文献

METHODS: The ability of CD8(+) T-cells to induce prostate inflammation was examined using a prostate ovalbumin expressing transgenic mouse (POET) and/or adoptive transfer of T-cell receptor (TCR) transgenic T-cells (OT-I) that specifically recognize ovalbumin. Localization of inflammatory cells to prostate tissue was examined following T-cell activation via endogenous prostatic antigen, recombinant type 5 adenovirus carrying the gene coding ovalbumin (Ad5-mOVA), or adoptive transfer of in vitro antigen stimulated OT-I cells. RESULTS: Ovalbumin specific OT-I cells were activated by autologous prostate antigen and trafficked to the prostate, but did not induce inflammation unless present in overwhelming numbers ( approximately 65% of CD8(+) T-cells). Activation of antigen specific CD8(+) T-cells in vitro (peptide pulsed antigen presenting cells) or in vivo (Ad5-mOVA) induced transitory prostate inflammation, without induction of prostate pathology, regardless of CD4(+) T-cell availability. Inflammation also was observed in OT-I x POET mice but again, pathological effects were not observed. CONCLUSIONS: T lymphocytes specific for a prostate antigen are capable of inducing inflammatory infiltration of prostatic tissue rapidly following activation, but do not produce pathological prostate injury. 相似文献

Kidney protection against autoreactive CD8(+) T cells distinct from immunoprivilege and sequestration 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

BACKGROUND: The kidney tubulointerstitium has been reported to be protected from T-cell--mediated damage by sequestration from the T-cell compartment. We examined the ability of autoreactive T cells to infiltrate the kidney in a transgenic mouse model. METHODS: RIP-mOVA transgenic mice express the model autoantigen, membrane-bound ovalbumin (mOVA), in kidney proximal tubular cells and pancreatic beta cells. OVA-specific CD8(+) T cells (OT-I cells) were transferred into these recipient mice and their immune response against pancreas and kidney tissue was compared. RESULTS: When OVA-specific CD8(+) T cells (OT-I cells) were injected into RIP-mOVA mice, they were activated in the renal and pancreatic lymph nodes by cross-presentation. These in vivo-activated OT-I cells caused the destruction of pancreatic islets leading to autoimmune diabetes, but did not infiltrate the kidney. Neither CD95--CD95 ligand interactions, which have been proposed to induce apoptosis in T cells infiltrating immunologically privileged sites, nor CD30 signaling was responsible for the lack of kidney infiltration. When OT-I cells were activated in vitro prior to injection, they could infiltrate the kidney and caused acute renal failure when injected in high numbers. CONCLUSIONS: A mechanism distinct from previously described organ-specific protective mechanisms such as sequestration of antigen or CD95-mediated immunoprivilege contributes to the protection of the kidney tubulointerstitium from infiltration by autoreactive CD8(+) T cell. 相似文献

The presence of increased levels of suppressor T cells after thermal injury and their relevance remain controversial. It is unclear whether suppressor T cells are the cause or result of sepsis complicating thermal injury. Spleen cells from a standardized murine burn model and sham burn controls were studied and the relationship between the levels of suppressor cytotoxic T cells (CD8, Lyt-2+), helper T cells (CD4, L3T4+), response to concanavalin A (ConA) and to phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and interleukin-2 (IL-2) production was examined. Mortality following infection via cecal ligation and puncture (CLP) of matched controls was also studied. At day 7 postburn, mean ConA (70 +/- 12% of control) and PHA response (58% +/- 5.2% of controls) and IL-2 production (43% +/- 5.4%) were significantly less than sham burn values (100%; p less than 0.05). However, the mean percentage of cells staining with anti-Lyt-2 and anti-L3T4 (9.1 +/- 0.59 and 13.9 +/- 0.65) was similar to the mean percentage in sham burn animals (9.4 +/- 0.65 and 16.6 +/- 1.1). Furthermore, no significant differences were observed between burned mice and controls in helper (17.3% +/- 1.8% burn vs. 21.2% +/- 1.7% sham) or suppressor cell levels (7.8% +/- 1.2% burn vs. 8.6% +/- 0.7% sham) or helper-suppressor ratios on day 10 postburn. Mortality of 20 litter-matched controls subjected to CLP on day 10 postburn was 90%, which was significantly greater than the sham burn mortality of 20%.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess at serial intervals the production of interleukin-12 (IL-12) by monocytes/macrophages from the peripheral blood of injured patients and control subjects, and using a mouse model to confirm human findings and explore the effectiveness of low-dose IL-12 therapy in restoring resistance to infection after injury. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Serious injury is associated with loss of function of the T helper 1 lymphocyte phenotype, but little is known about IL-12 production in injured patients. The authors previously reported that early, moderate-dose IL-12 therapy in a mouse model of burn injury restored resistance to a later infectious challenge (cecal ligation and puncture, CLP). However, the efficacy of clinically relevant low-dose IL-12 therapy carried out to or beyond the time of septic challenge remains to be tested. METHODS: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and adherent cells were obtained from 27 patients with major burns or traumatic injury and 18 healthy persons and were studied at serial intervals for IL-12 production stimulated by bacterial lipopolysacharide (LPS). PBMCs from 18 of the same patients were studied for IL-10 production as well. IL-12 production by adherent cells from the spleens of burn or sham burn mice was studied at serial intervals after injury to confirm the human findings. Low-dose IL-12 or vehicle was given every other day to groups of burn and sham burn mice, which were then challenged with CLP on day 10, and survival was determined. Finally, spleens were harvested from burn or sham burn animals receiving low-dose IL-12 or vehicle after CLP. After splenic cellularity was determined by hemocytometer, splenocytes were cultured and production of tumor necrosis factor-alpha, interferon-gamma, and IL-10 were assessed by immunoassay. RESULTS: Adherent cells from patients' PBMCs produced significantly less IL-12 than normal PBMCs after injury, reaching a nadir 8 to 14 days after injury. Stimulation of whole PBMCs by LPS indicated that at 8 to 14 days after injury, IL-12 production by PBMCs was significantly lower and IL-10 production was significantly higher than that of PBMCs from healthy persons. Low-dose IL-12 therapy significantly increased survival after CLP. Splenocytes from burn mice treated with IL-12 had significantly increased production of TNF-alpha and IF-beta, both before and after CLP, when compared with vehicle-treated burn animals. IL-10 production by bum splenocytes remained high after IL-12 treatment. Splenic cellularity increased after IL-12 treatment in burn mice. CONCLUSION: The capacity to produce IL-12 by adherent cells of the monocyte/macrophage lineage is significantly reduced after serious injury in humans and in a mouse burn model. In humans, there is a reciprocal relation between diminished IL-12 production and increased IL-10 production at approximately 1 week after injury. Low-dose IL-12 therapy in the mouse burn model markedly increased survival after a septic challenge, even when treatment was carried beyond the onset of sepsis. Low-dose IL-12 treatment in the mouse increased production of proinflammatory mediators important in host defense and at the same time maintained or increased production of IL-10, an important antiinflammatory cytokine. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare the production of interleukin-10 (IL-10) by peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from injured patients and control subjects to determine the responsible cell types and to relate IL-10 production to the occurrence of sepsis. A mouse model of burn injury was used to confirm the human findings and to assess the importance of IL-10 in the lowered resistance to infection after injury. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Severe injury is associated with depressed immune responses. Although IL-10 is known to inhibit several aspects of immune reactivity, the role of IL-10 in postinjury immune suppression remains controversial. METHODS: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from 14 burn and 12 trauma patients and 16 healthy individuals were studied at serial intervals for IL-10 production stimulated by a T-cell mitogen, phytohemagglutinin, and by bacterial lipopolysaccharide. To determine the source of IL-10, CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocyte subsets were obtained by selective depletion of PBMC with antibody-coated magnetic beads and were stimulated by anti-CD3 antibody to induce IL-10 secretion. In addition, IL-10 production by patients' PBMC in the first 10 days after injury was assessed for correlation with subsequent septic events. Anti-CD3-stimulated IL-10 production also was determined for CD4- and CD8-enriched lymphocyte subsets obtained by antibody and complement depletion of splenocytes harvested from groups of burn and sham burn mice at day 10 after injury, the time of maximal susceptibility to a septic challenge, cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Finally, to test the importance of IL-10 in immune suppression in vivo, groups of burn and sham burn mice were treated with anti-IL-10 monoclonal antibody or control immunoglobulin G (IgG) on days 1 and 3 postinjury and were observed for survival after CLP on day 10. RESULTS: Patients' PBMC produced significantly more IL-10 than did controls' PBMC 7 to 14 days after injury. Patients' CD4+ (T-helper) but not CD8+ (T-cytotoxic) lymphocytes also showed increased IL-10 production versus those of control subjects early after injury. Increased PBMC IL-10 production in the first 10 days postinjury correlated significantly (p < 0.05) with subsequent septic events. Burn mouse CD4-enriched but not CD8-enriched splenocytes produced more IL-10 than did sham burn splenocyte subsets on day 10 after injury. Burn mice treated with anti-IL-10 antibody but not with control IgG had significantly increased survival after CLP. CONCLUSION: Serious injury in humans and in a mouse burn model is followed by increased stimulated production of IL-10 by cells of the immune system. The CD4+ T-helper cells appear to be a major source of IL-10 after injury. In injured patients, increased IL-10 production is correlated with subsequent septic events, and in the burn mouse, IL-10 appears to induce decreased resistance to infection. 相似文献

To study the influence of antigen density on the efficiency of negative selection in the thymus, MHC class I (H-2K(b), K(b)) transgenic mice were generated, which expressed a K(b) transgene under the control of its natural promoter at 33% (K(b-lo)) or 150% (K(b-hi)) the surface density of Kb in C57BL/6 (B6, H-2(b)) mice. These mice were crossed to anti-K(b) T-cell receptor (Des-TCR) transgenic mice. In Des-TCRxK(b-hi) double transgenic mice, Des-TCR bearing T cells were completely eliminated during thymocyte maturation. In contrast, in Des-TCRxK(b-lo) double transgenic mice, two populations of Des-TCR T cells were evident, which either expressed the Des-TCR at intermediate density in the absence of CD8 (Des-TCR(int)CD8(-)) or expressed both the Des-TCR and CD8 at low density (Des-TCRloCD8lo). In the thymus of both types of double transgenic mice, no Des-TCR(+)CD4(+)CD8(+) thymocytes were detected, suggesting that deletion of Des-TCR cells occurred before the CD4(+)CD8(+) stage. Because only very few Des-TCR(+) thymocytes were found in Des-TCRxK(b-hi) transgenic mice, deletion of these T cells apparently occurred upon expression of the Des-TCR. By contrast, Des-TCRxK(b-lo) transgenic mice showed distinct populations of Des-TCR(int)CD4-8- and Des-TCR(lo)CD8(lo) thymocytes, suggesting that expression of the CD8 coreceptor was required to allow negative selection to proceed. Functional analyses showed that sublethally irradiated Des-TCRxK(b-lo) double transgenic mice were protected from lethal graft-versus-host disease by injected Des-TCR lymph node cells. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), which initiates subsequent development of burn-associated type 2 T cells, is produced in mice early after thermal injury. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: A predominance of type 2 T-cell responses is commonly observed in animals and patients with severe thermal injuries. Burn-associated type 2 T cells have been identified as the cells responsible for the increased susceptibility of thermally injured mice to infections with herpes simplex virus type 1 and Candida albicans. Recently, the necessity of MCP-1 for the generation of type 2 T cells was shown in MCP-1 knockout mice. MCP-1 may have an important role in the increased susceptibility of thermally injured mice to various intracellular opportunistic pathogens. METHODS: The production of MCP-1 in sera or in cultures of various cells prepared from thermally injured mice was measured. Dual-chamber transwell cultures were performed to determine the influence of MCP-1-producing cells on the generation of burn-associated type 2 T cells. RESULTS: Without any stimulation, splenic macrophages from mice (1/2D-M(phi)) produced MCP-1 into their culture fluids 12 hours after thermal injury. Interleukin-4 was detected in culture fluids of splenic T cells from normal mice cultured with 1/2D-M(phi) in a dual-chamber transwell system; however, this cytokine was not produced by normal T cells cultured with normal macrophages in the transwells. Also, normal T cells cultured with 1/2D-M(phi) did not produce interleukin-4 when transwell cultures were performed in the presence of anti-MCP-1 monoclonal antibody. Further, normal T cells directly stimulated with MCP-1 produced interleukin-4 into their culture fluids. Normal T cells, cultured with 1/2D-M(phi) for 24 hours in the transwells and recultured with fresh medium for an additional 7 days, produced interleukin-10 (but not interferon-gamma) and expressed ST2L mRNA (but not interleukin-12 receptor beta2 chain) when they were stimulated with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody. CONCLUSIONS: Results indicate that MCP-1 is produced in mice within 1 day of thermal injury, and the subsequent development of burn-associated type 2 T-cell responses may be triggered by MCP-1 produced early after thermal injury. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: An adoptive transfer system was used to study the fate of alloreactive CD8+ H-2Kb-specific TCR transgenic (DES+) T cells in vivo after transplantation. METHODS: A trace population of 2.0x10(6) CD8+DES+ T cells were adoptively transferred into syngeneic CBA.Ca (H-2k) mice 24 hr before transplantation of an H-2Kb+ or H-2Kb- cardiac allograft. RESULTS: H-2Kb specific T cells proliferated and produced interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma in response to H-2Kb+, but not H-2Kb- cardiac allografts. CD8+DES+ T cells that infiltrated the H-2Kb+ cardiac allografts developed a distinct cell surface and cytokine phenotype compared with the CD8+DES+ T cells that remained in the periphery. H-2Kb-specific graft infiltrating T cells (a) underwent a larger number of cell divisions (> =3), (b) increased in size, (c) up-regulated CD69, and (d) down-regulated CD62L. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that alloantigen-specific T cells can be monitored in vivo during the immune response to an allograft and that the fate of CD8+ T cells specific for the allogeneic class I molecules expressed by the graft is different between cells in the periphery and those that infiltrate the graft. 相似文献

We recently demonstrated that interleukin-5 and eosinophils mediate rejection of skin allografts when CD8+ T cell-dependent and Th1-type CD4+ T cell-dependent pathways are not functional. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a similar mechanism might be operative during rejection of rat islet xenografts in mice. First, we observed that eosinophils indeed infiltrate rejected islet grafts together with CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. CD8+ T cell depletion significantly enhanced graft survival and a further prolongation of islet function was obtained in combination with interferon-gamma neutralization. However, islet rejection characterized by prominent eosinophil and macrophage infiltration still occurred in this setting. Although eosinophil infiltrates were dramatically reduced in interleukin-5 deficient mice, the ability of these animals to reject islet xenografts under CD8+ T cell depletion and interferon-gamma neutralization was similar to that of wild-type mice. We conclude that in absence of CD8+ T cells and interferon-gamma, macrophages, but not eosinophils, mediate rejection of rat-to-mouse islet xenografts. 相似文献

Characterization of naturally occurring CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells in rhesus monkeys 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
BACKGROUND: Translational research in a relevant preclinical model is recommended before Treg-inducing protocols can be implemented in humans. We have characterized rhesus monkey CD25 cells phenotypically and functionally. METHODS: The phenotype of CD4(+)CD25(high) cells was determined by FACS, focusing on established markers of mouse and human Treg cells. Percentages of cells positive for CD45RA, CD62L, and intracellular CTLA-4 and FOXP3 were compared between CD4(+)CD25(high) and CD4(+)CD25(-) cells. CD25 cells stimulated with anti-CD3, ConA, and/or allogeneic peripheral blood mononuclear cells were mixed with freshly isolated CD25 cells. The suppressive activity of the CD25 cells in vitro was assessed using several experimental conditions. RESULTS: Rhesus monkey CD4(+)CD25(high) cells expressed high intracellular levels of CTLA-4 and FOXP3, whereas expression was negligible in CD4(+)CD25(-) cells. The CD25(high) population was mostly CD45RA(-), indicative of a memory phenotype. The CD25(+) cells were anergic, because they showed low proliferative responses, no interleukin-2 production, and some interferon-gamma and interleukin-10 production. Proliferation of CD4(+)CD25(-) cells stimulated by anti-CD3 or allogeneic cells was decreased when CD4(+)CD25(-) cells were added at a 1:1 ratio. In addition, we found that CD25 cells inhibited the interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma production by anti-CD3-stimulated CD25 cells in a dose-dependent fashion, through a cell-cell contact-dependent mechanism. CONCLUSIONS: Rhesus monkey CD4(+)CD25(+) cells have similar phenotypic and functional characteristics as natural Tregs in humans. These findings allow testing of Treg expansion and induction protocols in a relevant preclinical model, the rhesus monkey. 相似文献
