Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is considered as the most common cause of female infertility that affects 4-10% of women in the reproductive age. Previous studies have shown the role of a balanced immune response in a successful pregnancy and fertility. Objective: To investigate the T helper cells type 1 (Th1) /Th2/Th17/Treg paradigms in peripheral blood of infertile PCOS compared with normal fertile women. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated at the late follicular phase from 10 PCOS and 10 fertile women. PBMCs were stimulated with PMA and ionomycin in the presence of Berefeldin A as Golgi stop agent to detect intracellular cytokine production (IFN-γ, IL-17, and IL-4) from CD3+CD4+T cells population indicating T helper (Th) cells subsets by flowcytometry. Moreover, regulatory T cells were enumerated using CD25 and Foxp3 markers. Results: In this study, we report that the frequency of Th1 cells was increased compared to Th2 cells in infertile PCOS when considering Th1/Th2 ratio (P=0.05). Analysis of Th17/Th2 ratio showed a significant difference with a bias toward Th17 dominancy in PCOS (P=0.02). The proportion of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells was significantly lower in PCOS patients than that of healthy fertile women (P=0.02). Conclusion: In summary, Th1 and Th17 bias and reduction of Treg and Th2 cells as regulators of immune responses might be involved in the pathogenesis of PCOS. These results are suggestive of an altered immune response to inflammatory status in PCOS patients, likely causing some complications such as infertility in these patients. 相似文献

Emerging evidence indicates that NADPH oxidase (NOX) and its reactive oxygen species (ROS) products modulate a variety of cellular events, including proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. In this study, we investigated the functions of NOX2 and ROS in immune modulation using NOX2 knockout (KO) mice. Interestingly, NOX2 KO mice spontaneously developed arthritis with onset at 6-7 wk of age and high incidence (60%) at 15-18 wk of age. Arthritis severity in NOX2 KO mice was proportionally increased with age and higher in females than in males. Bone destruction was confirmed by microcomputed tomography scanning and histological analyses of joints. Inflammatory factors, including TNF-α, IL-1β, and RANKL, and serum level of anti-type II collagen IgG were significantly increased in NOX2 KO mice. In addition, NOX2 deficiency perturbed the immune system upon aging. NOX2 KO mice demonstrated preferred development of CD11b+Gr-1+ myeloid cells with profound production of proinflammatory cytokines and augmented expression of IL-17 through the activation of STAT3 and RORγt in vivo. NOX2 deficiency increased differentiation of effector Th cells in vitro and decreased CD25+FoxP3+ Treg cells both in vitro and in vivo. Furthermore, adoptive transfer of NOX2-deficient CD4(+) T cells into RAG KO mice increased arthritic inflammation compared with WT cells. These results demonstrated that NOX2 deficiency affected the development of CD11b+ myeloid cells and Th17/Treg cells, and thus promoted inflammatory cytokine production and inflammatory arthritis development, strongly supporting a crucial role for ROS generation in the modulation of Th17/Treg cell development and its related inflammatory immune response upon aging. 相似文献

Background and Aims
Daikenchuto, a traditional Japanese herbal medicine, suppresses bacterial translocation by improvement of gastrointestinal motility and blood flow. As Daikenchuto reportedly reduces gastrointestinal inflammatory activity by these mechanisms, we analyzed whether Daikenchuto suppresses experimental colitis and reduces inflammatory cytokine expression in a mouse model.Methods
Colitis was induced by transfer of naive CD4+ T cells of BALB/c mice into SCID mice, and mice were given either control or 2.7?% Daikenchuto-containing feed. We investigated body weight, clinical symptoms, histological changes, and Th1- and Th17-cytokine expression. Cytokine mRNA expression was analyzed using real-time RT-PCR. The ratio of IL-17+ and IFN-γ+ CD4+ T cells were analyzed by flow cytometry.Results
Daikenchuto delayed the development of colitis and significantly reduced the histological inflammation scores. Analyses of cytokine mRNA revealed that Th17 cytokines were significantly decreased in colons of mice that received Daikenchuto. Absolute numbers of IL-17+ or IFN-γ+ CD4+ T cells per colon were less in mice receiving Daikenchuto than in mice that received control feed, as both groups received naive CD4+ T cells to induce colitis.Conclusions
We demonstrated that feeding administration of Daikenchuto suppresses colitis induced by naive CD4+ T cell transfer into SCID mice. Daikenchuto may show clinical benefit in the treatment of human inflammatory bowel disease and further studies are warranted. 相似文献7.
背景: 多项证据提示感染后肠易激综合征(PI-IBS)患者的肠道黏膜中存在T细胞介导的低度炎症。树突细胞(DC)是肠道黏膜免疫系统中最重要的抗原呈递细胞,目前关于DC在PI-IBS中作用的报道尚少。目的: 研究肠道黏膜固有层DC在急性肠道感染的不同阶段对CD4~+ T细胞的影响,探讨DC在肠道感染消退后维持肠道黏膜免疫系统持续激活中的作用。方法: 建立旋毛虫感染后内脏高敏感小鼠模型以模拟人类PI-IBS。肠道黏膜固有层DC与脾脏CD4~+T细胞于体外共培养120h,ELISA法检测细胞培养上清液中Th17、Th2、Th1相关细胞因子IL-17、IL-4、IFN-γ水平。结果: 与单独培养相比,CD4~+T细胞与DC共培养后,感染后8周组IL-17水平增加值明显高于对照组(P=0.001)和感染后2周组(P=0.279):感染后2周组IL-4水平增加值明显高于对照组(P=0.041)和感染后8周组(P=0.204);三组间IFN-γ水平增加值差异均无统计学意义。结论: 感染后内脏高敏感小鼠肠道黏膜固有层DC诱导CD4~+T细胞分化为Th17细胞并使之活化可能是肠道感染消退后维持肠道黏膜免疫系统持续激活的主要机制。 相似文献

AIM To investigate the role of regulatory T cell(Treg) subsets in the balance between Treg and T helper 17(Th17) cells in various tissues from mice with dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis.METHODS T r e g c e l l s, T r e g c e l l s u b s e t s, T h 1 7 c e l l s, a n d CD4+CD25+FoxP 3+IL-17+ cells from the lamina propria of colon(LPC) and other ulcerative colitis(UC) mouse tissues were evaluated by flow cytometry. Forkhead box protein 3(FoxP 3), interleukin 17A(IL-17A), and RORC m RNA levels were assessed by real-time PCR, while interleukin-10(IL-10) and IL-17 A levels were detected with a Cytometric Beads Array.RESULTS In peripheral blood monocytes(PBMC), mesenteric lymphnode(MLN), lamina propria of jejunum(LPJ) and LPC from UC mice, Treg cell numbers were increased(P 0.05), and FoxP 3 and IL-10 mR NA levels were decreased. Th17 cell numbers were also increased in PBMC and LPC, as were IL-17 A levels in PBMC, LPJ, and serum. The number of FrI subset cells(CD4+CD45RA+FoxP 3low) was increased in the spleen, MLN, LPJ, and LPC. FrI I subset cells(CD4+CD45RA-Fox P3high) were decreased among PBMC, MLN, LPJ, and LPC, but the number of Fr III cells(CD4+CD45RA-FoxP 3low) and CD4+CD25+FoxP 3+IL-17A+ cells was increased. Fox P3 m RNA levels in CD4+CD45RA-Fox P3 low cells decreased in PBMC, MLN, LPJ, and LPC in UC mice, while IL-17 A and RORC mR NA increased. In UC mice the distribution of Treg, Th17 cells, CD4+CD45RA-FoxP 3high, and CD4+CD45RA-FoxP 3low cells was higher in LPC relative to other tissues.CONCLUSION Increased numbers of CD4+CD45RA-FoxP 3low cells may cause an imbalance between Treg and Th17 cells that is mainly localized to the LPC rather than secondary lymphoid tissues. 相似文献

Background
Both interleukin (IL)-17-secreting CD4+ T (Th17) and CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T regulatory (Treg) cells have been shown to be associated with disease progression or liver damage in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. However, the relationship between Treg cells and IL-17-secreting T cells in hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections is unclear.Methods
The frequencies of Treg cells and IL-17-secreting T cells in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-positive CHB patients and healthy subjects were measured by flow cytometric analysis. The role of Treg cells on the differentiation of Ag-specific IL-17-secreting T cells was determined by removing the Treg cells from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) in HBeAg-positive CHB patients.Results
The frequencies of both Th17 (1.71 ± 0.58 vs. 1.08 ± 0.36 %; P < 0.01) and Treg cells (8.92 ± 4.11 vs. 6.45 ± 1.56 %; P < 0.01) were increased in the peripheral blood of HBeAg-positive CHB patients compared with healthy controls, but in not the IL-17-secreting CD8+ T (Tc17) cells. The frequency of Treg cells was significantly associated with that of Th17 cells (r = 0.625, P = 0.001) in CHB patients. Spearman analysis showed a positive correlation between the frequency of Treg cells and HBV DNA load (r = 0.508, P = 0.008), as well as between the frequency of Th17 cells and serum alanine aminotransferase level (r = 0.516, P = 0.007). The deletion of Treg cells significantly enhanced both Th17 and Tc17 cell development in PBMCs following recombinant HBV core antigen stimulation.Conclusions
Our data indicate a clear inverse relationship between Th17 cells and Treg cells and that Treg cells can inhibit Th17 cell development in CHB patients. 相似文献11.

Objective: In allergic asthma, regulatory T cell (Treg) number and function are decreased. Antigen-primed CD8+ T cells play an indispensable role in the full development of airway inflammation and airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) occurring in asthma. In this study, we investigated the relationship between subpopulations of CD8+ T cells and CD39+ Tregs. Methods: Female C57BL/6 mice were used to develop the model of allergic asthma. Experimental mice were immunized with ovalbumin (OVA) by intra-peritoneal (i.p) injection and then challenged with OVA by intra-tracheal administration. Control mice were immunized with vehicle by i.p injection and challenged with OVA. Airway inflammation was determined by histology and AHR was measured by an invasive method. Levels of interferon (IFN)-γ, IL-4, and IL-17 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The frequencies of CD8+IFN-γ+ cells (Tc1), CD8+IL-4+ cells (Tc2), CD8+IL-17+cells (Tc17), and CD39+Tregs were measured by flow cytometry. The correlation between CD39+Tregs and Tc subsets was analyzed by Pearson’s test. Results: Experimental mice displayed phenotypes of allergic asthma, including inflammatory cell infiltration into the lungs, goblet cell hyperplasia, increased airway resistance, and increased IL-4 and IL-17 in BALF. Compared to control mice, experimental mice displayed lower CD39+Tregs and Tc1 but higher Tc2 and Tc17. There was a negative correlation between CD39+Tregs and Tc2 or Tc17. Conclusion: In allergic asthma, increased Tc2 and Tc17 are possibly related to insufficient CD39+Tregs. 相似文献

Immune-mediated liver injury is widely seen during hepatitis B virus(HBV) infection. Unsuccessful immune clearance of HBV results in chronic hepatitis and increases the risk of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. HBV-related liver fibrosis(HBVLF),occurring as a result of HBV-induced chronic hepatitis,is a reversible,intermediate stage of chronic hepatitis B(CHB) and liver cirrhosis. Therefore,defining the pathogenesis of HBVLF is of practical significance for achieving better clinical outcomes. Recently,the homeostasis of CD4+ T cells was considered to be pivotal in the process of HBVLF. To better uncover the underlying mechanisms,in this review,we systematically retrospect the impacts of different CD4+T-cell subsets on CHB and HBVLF. We emphasize CD4+ T-cell homeostasis and the important balance between regulatory T(Treg) and T helper 17(Th17) cells. We discuss some cytokines associated with Treg and Th17 cells such as interleukin(IL)-17,IL-22,IL-21,IL-23,IL-10,IL-35 and IL-33,as well as surface molecules such as programmed cell death protein 1,cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4,T cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain-containing molecule 3 and cannabinoid receptor 2 that have potential therapeutic implications for the homeostasis of CD4+ T cells in CHB and HBVLF. 相似文献

Objective: To determine how cell–cell contact with synovial fibroblasts (SF) influence on the proliferation and cytokine production of CD4+?T cells.Methods: Naïve CD4+?T cells were cultured with SF from rheumatoid arthritis patients, stimulated by anti-CD3/28 antibody, and CD4+?T cell proliferation and IFN-γ/IL-17 production were analyzed. To study the role of adhesion molecules, cell contact was blocked by transwell plate or anti-intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1)/vascular cell adhesion molecule-1(VCAM-1) antibody. To study the direct role of adhesion molecules for CD4+?T cells, CD161+?or CD161- naïve CD4+?T cells were stimulated on plastic plates coated by recombinant ICAM-1 or VCAM-1, and the source of IFN-γ/IL-17 were analyzed.Results: SF enhanced naïve CD4+?T cell proliferation and IFN-γ/IL-17 production in cell-contact and in part ICAM-1-/VCAM-1-dependent manner. Plate-coated ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 enhanced naïve CD4+?T cell proliferation and IFN-γ production, while VCAM-1 efficiently promoting IL-17 production. CD161+?naïve T cells upregulating LFA-1 and VLA-4 were the major source of IFN-γ/IL-17 upon interaction with ICAM-1/VCAM-1.Conclusion: CD4+?T cells rapidly expand and secrete IFN-γ/IL-17 upon cell-contact with SF via adhesion molecules. Interfering with ICAM-1-/VCAM-1 may be beneficial for inhibiting RA synovitis. 相似文献

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMMSCs) exert immunosuppressive activities in transplantation.This study aimed to determine whether BMMSCs reduce acute rejection and improve outcomes of liver transplantation in rats.METHODS:Orthotopic liver transplantation from Lewis to Brown Norway rats was performed,which was followed by the infusion of BMMSCs through the penile superficial dorsal vein.Normal saline infusion was used as a control.Animals were sacrificed at 0,24,72,or 168 hours after BMMSCs infusion.Liver grafts,and recipient serum and spleen tissues were obtained.Histopathology,apoptosis,serum liver enzymes,serum cytokines,and circulating regulatory T(Treg),Th1,Th2 and Th17 cells were assessed at each time point.RESULTS:BMMSCs significantly attenuated acute rejection and improved the survival rate of allogeneic liver transplantation recipients.Liver enzymes and liver apoptosis were significantly alleviated.The levels of the Th1/Th2 ratio-associated cytokines such as IL-2 and IFN-γ were significantly reduced and IL-10 was significantly increased.The levels of the Th17/Tregs axis-associated cytokines such as IL-6,IL-17,IL-23,and TNF-α were significantly reduced,whereas TGF-β concentration was significantly increased.Moreover,flow cytometry analysis showed that the infusion of BMMSCs significantly increased Th2 and Treg cells and decreased Th1 and Th17 cells.CONCLUSION:BMMSCs had immunomodulatory effects,attenuated acute rejection and improved outcomes of allogeneic liver transplantation in rats by regulating the levels of cytokines associated with Th1/Th2 and Th17/Treg ratios. 相似文献

Th17 cells have been associated with immune-mediated diseases in humans but it has still not been determined whether they play a role in immune thrombocytopenia. We evaluated representative cytokines of the Th17, Th1, Th2 and Treg cell commitment in the serum of patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia, as well as the cell source of IL-17A. Higher levels of IL-17A and Th17-related cytokines, and an increased percentage of IL-17A producing CD4+ and neutrophils were observed in patients. The levels of cytokines involved in Th1 cell commitment IFN-γ, IL-2, IL12-p70 and the percentages of Th1 cells were also increased, but IL-4 was not detected. Although the concentrations of IL-10 were higher, the levels of TGF-β were similar in both groups. In conclusion, our results point to a putative role for Th-17 cells/IL-17A cytokine in the pathogenesis of chronic immune thrombocytopenia. 相似文献

RORγt(+) T(H)17 cells are a proinflammatory CD4(+) T-cell population associated with autoimmune tissue injury. In mice, priming of T(H)17 requires TGF-β, which alone directs the priming of FOXP3(+) regulatory T cells (Treg), in association with inflammatory cytokines. Priming of human T(H)17 cells from conventional naive CD4(+) T cells under similar conditions, however, has proved difficult to achieve. Here, we report that differentiation of human T(H)17 cells preferentially occurs from FOXP3(+) naive Treg (NTreg) in the presence of IL-2 and IL-1β and is increased by IL-23 and TGF-β. IL-1β-mediated differentiation correlated with IL-1RI expression in stimulated NTreg and was accompanied by induction of RORγt along with down-regulation of FOXP3. IL-17-secreting cells in NTreg cultures cosecreted TNF-α and IL-2 and contained distinct subpopulations cosecreting or not cosecreting IFN-γ and other T(H)17-associated cytokines. Polarized NTreg contained significant subpopulations of CCR6-expressing cells that were highly enriched in IL-17-secreting cells. Finally, analysis of CCR6 expression with respect to that of IL-1RI identified distinct IL-17-secreting subpopulations that had maintained or lost their suppressive functions. Together our results support the concept that priming of human T(H)17 from naive CD4(+) T cells preferentially takes place from FOXP3(+) Treg precursors in the presence of lineage-specific polarizing factors. 相似文献
