Phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-derived T lymphoblasts or T cell clones from patients genetically deficient in IL-12R beta 1 (IL-12R beta 1(-/-)) or IFN-gamma R1 (IFN-gamma R1(-/-)) produced two- to threefold reduced IFN-gamma levels compared to the corresponding cells from healthy individuals after anti-CD3 and PMA stimulation. Moderate IFN-gamma production was observed in PHA-derived T lymphoblasts or T cell clones derived from healthy subjects in the presence of anti-IFN-gamma R1 or anti-IL-12 mAb, whereas it was negligible in the presence of both mAb. However, when anti-IFN-gamma R1 and/or anti-IL-12 mAb were added during restimulation, the cells produced normal levels of IFN-gamma, indicating that both IFN-gamma and IL-12 had an effect on the priming phase. Moderate production of IFN-gamma was partially enhanced only in IFN-gamma R1(-/-) T cell clones generated in the presence of IL-12, but was almost completely abolished when IL-12R beta 1(-/-) and IFN-gamma R1(-/-) T cell clones were generated in the presence of anti-IFN-gamma R1 or anti-IL-12 mAb, respectively. IL-4 production was enhanced in T cell clones from IL-12R beta 1(-/-),but not from IFN-gamma R1(-/-) patients, whereas IL-10 and IL-2 production did not differ significantly in polyclonal T cells or clones from healthy and deficient individuals. These results indicate that IL-12R beta 1- and IFN-gamma R1-dependent signals co-ordinately regulate IFN-gamma, but not IL-2 and IL-10 production, whereas only IL-12 negatively controls IL-4 production by in vitro-generated T cell clones. Thus, although IL-12 and IFN-gamma signals are each sufficient for moderate production of IFN-gamma by human T cells, both are needed for optimal IFN-gamma production, and in the absence of both IFN-gamma production is completely abrogated. 相似文献

The effects of an immunopotentiating drug, isoprinosine, on the splenocytes of BALB/c mice to produce cytokines were investigated. Isoprinosine enhanced IL-2 production, upregulating the expression of IL-2 receptor in vitro. It also significantly increased the IFN-gamma secretion and decreased the IL-4 production in vivo. The significance of these findings in terms of immune regulation is discussed. 相似文献

The generation of TCR transgenic (Tg) mice expressing a BV8S2 (Vbeta8 subfamily 2) chain specific for the encephalitogenic NAc1-11 region of MBP provides a unique system for evaluating the mechanisms involved in anti-TCR immunoregulation of EAE. In a previous study, we showed that vaccination with BV8S2 protein induced specific T cells that inhibited proliferation responses and encephalitogenic activity of MBP-reactive T cells in vitro, and resulted in a skewed production of Th2 cytokines by the MBP-reactive T cells. These data suggested that regulation of the encephalitogenic T cells was mediated by inhibitory cytokines rather than through a deletional mechanism. In the current study, we have employed the BV8S2 Tg mouse model to address the issue of which cytokines produced by anti-TCR-reactive T cells can regulate the function of encephalitogenic Th1 cells. Utilizing neutralizing anti-cytokine antibodies to reverse inhibitory effects of supernatants from BV8S2-specific T cells, we found that IL-4, IL-10, and to a lesser extent, IFN-gamma and TGF-beta, were the major regulatory cytokines responsible for inhibiting encephalitogenic activity, proliferation, and IFN-gamma secretion of MBP-NAc1-11-reactive Th1 cells. These results indicate that cytokine regulation is the major mechanism through which TCR specific CD4+ T cells regulate encephalitogenic and potentially other bystander Th1 cells. 相似文献

Two cytokines IL-4 and IL-12 are known to determine the balance between T(h)1 and T(h)2 development. In addition to IL-4 production of V(alpha)14(+) NKT cells, they have recently been demonstrated to have the capacity to stimulate IL-12 production by antigen-presenting cells (APC). This study demonstrates that IFN-gamma is absolutely required for the NKT cell-stimulated IL-12 production. Culture of B cell-depleted spleen cells from C57BL/6 mice with alpha-galactosylceramide (alpha-GalCer) capable of selectively stimulating V(alpha)14/J(alpha)281(+) NKT cells resulted in the production of IL-12 together with IL-4. Whereas IL-4 production occurred in culture of IFN-gamma(-/-) C57BL/6 splenocytes, the same culture failed to generate IL-12 production. While IL-12 production induced during culture of V(alpha)14(+) NKT cells and APC depended on the interaction between CD40 ligand on NKT cells and CD40 on APC, the expression levels of these key molecules were comparable in cells from wild-type and IFN-gamma(-/-) mice. Addition of rIFN-gamma to alpha-GalCer stimulated IFN-gamma(-/-) splenocyte culture, and administration of rIFN-gamma to alpha-GalCer-injected IFN-gamma(-/-) mice resulted in the restoration of IL-12 production in vitro and in vivo. These results illustrate a mandatory role for IFN-gamma in V(alpha)14(+) NKT cell-stimulated IL-12 production by APC. 相似文献

HCV infection is associated with immune dysregulation and B cell Non-Hodgkins lymphoma (HCV-NHL). We have previously shown in vitro that HCV core protein differentially regulates T and B cell functions through two negative signaling pathways, programmed death-1 (PD-1) and suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1). In this report, we performed a detailed immunologic analysis of T and B cell functions in the setting of HCV-NHL. We observed that T cells isolated from patients with HCV-NHL exhibited an exhausted phenotype including decreased expression of viral-specific and non-specific activation markers; whereas B cells exhibited an activated phenotype including over-expression of cell activation markers and immunoglobulins compared to healthy subjects. Individuals with HCV alone or NHL alone exhibited abnormal T and B cell phenotypes, but to a lesser extent compared to HCV-NHL. This differential activation of T and B lymphocytes was inversely associated with the expression of PD-1 and SOCS-1. Interestingly, blocking PD-1 during TCR activation inhibited SOCS-1 gene expression, suggesting that these regulatory pathways are linked in T cells. Importantly, blocking PD-1 also restored the impaired T cell functions observed in the setting of HCV-NHL. These results support a coordinated mechanism by which HCV might cause immune dysregulation that is associated to HCV-NHL. 相似文献

Intracellular IL-4, IL-10, and IFN-gamma levels of leukemic cells and bone marrow T cells in acute leukemia 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The quantitative levels of intracellular cytokines IL-4, IL-10, and IFN-gamma (ie, the number of bound PE-conjugated antibody molecules/cell) of leukemic cells and bone marrow T cells (bmT cells) of acute leukemia patients were analyzed by flow cytometry. One hundred, thirty-one (95 AML, 25 ALL, 11 ABL) patients were studied. The leukemic cell IL-4 level was highest in the monocytic AML group (1735 +/- 1056) and lowest in the dysplastic AML group (960 +/- 545). The IFN-gamma level was highest in the acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) group (495 +/- 159), and lowest in the ALL group (252 +/- 119). The IL-10 level was not significantly different among the diagnosis groups. In bmT cells, the IL-10 level was highest in the dysplastic AML group (972 +/- 1049) and lowest in the APL group (397 +/- 352). The leukemic cell cytokine levels were lowest and bmT cell cytokine levels were highest in the dysplastic AML group. There were no significant correlations of these cytokine levels with 2-yr survival rate, complete remission (CR) rate, or relapse rate. The cytokine levels of bmT cells at the time of CR became normal and were not different among the diagnosis groups. In summary, leukemic cell and bmT cell cytoplasmic expression profiles of IL-4, IL-10, and IFN-gamma are characteristic for each diagnostic group of acute leukemia patients and the profiles of bmT cells are normal at the time of CR. 相似文献

A member of the IL-1 receptor (IL-1R)-associated kinase (IRAK) family, IRAK4, has been shown to play an essential role in Toll-like receptor (TLR)-mediated signaling. IRAK4 kinase-inactive knockin mice have been shown to be completely resistant to LPS- and CpG-induced shock, due to impaired TLR-mediated induction of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. A reduction of LPS-, R848- and IL-1-mediated mRNA stability contributes to the reduced cytokine and chemokine production in bone marrow (BM)-derived macrophages from IRAK4 kinase-inactive knockin mice: however, not all of the TLR/IL-1R signaling events are ablated in IRAK4 kinase-inactive knockin mice. A paper in this issue of the European Journal of Immunology shows that, while JNK activation is significantly impaired, NF-kappaB and IRF3 activation are retained in the absence of IRAK4 kinase activity. These residual TLR/IL-1R-induced signaling events allow the production of some cytokines and chemokines (including TNFalpha and CXCL1); at early times after the stimulation and induction of a group of TLR-mediated MyD88/IRAK4-independent genes in IRAK4 kinase-inactive knockin cells. Therefore, pharmacological blocking of IRAK4 kinase activity will retain some levels of host defence, while reducing the levels and duration of inflammatory responses, which should provide beneficial therapies for sepsis and chronic inflammatory diseases. 相似文献

Coimmunization with IFN-gamma or IL-2, but not IL-13 or IL-4 cDNA can enhance Th1-type DNA vaccine-induced immune responses in vivo. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

As we explore the potential improvements to the current DNA vaccine strategies, it may be desirable to investigate methods to improve the level of resulting immune responses. One strategy is the use of cytokine cDNA as molecular adjuvants for DNA-based vaccines. Codelivery of these molecular adjuvants consisting of expression plasmid encoding for cytokines with DNA vaccine constructs is an effective method to modulate the magnitude and direction (humoral or cellular) of the immune responses. We have previously reported on the immunomodulatory effects of codelivering cDNA for interleukin-2 (IL-2) and IL-4 as molecular adjuvants for DNA-based vaccines. In this report, we extend these finding and compare the immunomodulatory effects of IL-2 and IL-4 with those of cDNA for prototypical Thl-type cytokine interferon-y (IFN-gamma) and Th2-type cytokine IL-13. We observed that distinct antigen-specific immune modulation can be achieved by the coinjection of IFN-gamma or IL-13 genes with DNA immunogen cassettes. We observed that IFN-gamma is a strong driver of Thl immune responses. Furthermore, in contrast to previous reports on their similarities in biologic activities, IL-13 and IL-4 cDNA coimmunizations modulated vaccine-induced immune responses differently in this model. Overall, these results further support the potential utility of this strategy as an important tool for the development of vaccines and immune therapies. 相似文献

NK cells secrete high levels of IFN-gamma in response to in vivo administration of IL-2. 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Interleukin-2 is an immunotherapeutic agent for the treatment of metastatic tumors. Administration of recombinant human IL-2 (rhIL-2) in vivo activates lymphocytes and cell-mediated immune responses. In mice, we have recently observed a dramatic increase of serum IFN-gamma levels in response to in vivo administration of rhIL-2, which was necessary for the observed protective effects of IL-2 against the development of collagen-induced arthritis. To explore further the basis of this phenomenon, the kinetics and source of IFN-gamma in response to IL-2 was investigated. Highest serum levels of IFN-gamma were observed within 3 h of IL-2 administration, with levels decreasing over time. Anti-IL-2 receptor beta antibody blocked this IFN-gamma induction. Multiple doses of rhIL-2 resulted in corresponding increases in circulating IFN-gamma. IFN-gamma induction was dose-dependent between doses of 240 to 30,000 U of rhIL-2. Analysis of the cellular source of IFN-gamma secretion using NK- and T cell-deficient mice demonstrated that NK cells are the likely source of IFN-gamma. Furthermore, IFN-gamma secretion in response to IL-2 administration was not affected by the absence of IL-12, the pivotal cytokine for determination of Th1 responses. These results suggest that effects of IL-2 on immune responses in vivo may be mediated by IFN-gamma. 相似文献

Polymorphisms of IL-1B, IL-1RN, IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, and IFN-gamma genes in the Korean population 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Cytokines play a crucial role in regulating the immune and inflammatory responses. The collective influence of several cytokines can regulate immune responses as complex as those underlying allograft rejections or autoimmune diseases. Polymorphisms in the regulatory regions of the cytokine genes may influence their expression. Therefore, the polymorphisms of cytokine genes are potentially important as genetic predictors of the disease susceptibility or clinical outcome. In 311 unrelated healthy Korean individuals, we investigated the polymorphisms of cytokine genes (interleukin-1 [IL-1], IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, and interferon-gamma [IFN-gamma]), which had been previously reported to be associated with a number of immune diseases, transplant complications, and direct or indirect influences on the level of expression and production. And we also compared the results to those published for other populations. The genotype distributions were consistent with the assumption of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, with the exceptions of IL-1B +3954 and IL-6-174 polymorphisms. The polymorphisms examined in this study were almost similar to that observed in Asian populations. There were significant differences of the polymorphisms, except for IL-4 receptor alpha +1902, between Korean and other populations. Comparing the alleles associated with higher level of expression and production, IL-1B +3954*T, IL-2-330*G, and IL-4-590*T alleles were significantly higher, and IL-1RN*A2, IL-10-1082*G, and IFN-gamma*2 alleles were lower in Koreans than other populations. Especially in IL-6 promoter -174 polymorphism, we found only the G allele associated with higher plasma IL-6 levels. In haplotype analysis of IL-10 promoter polymorphisms, the GCC haplotype, associated with higher expression of IL-10, was significantly lower in Koreans. These results may be helpful for understanding transplant-related complications, immune or autoimmune diseases, and malignant diseases in the Korean population. 相似文献

Regulation of LPS induced IL-12 production by IFN-gamma and IL-4 through intracellular glutathione status in human alveolar macrophages. 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9

Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is secreted from monocytes and macrophages; it exerts pleiotropic effects on T cells and natural killer (NK) cells, and stimulates interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) secretion. Glutathione tripeptide regulates the intracellular redox status and other aspects of cell physiology. We examined whether IFN-gamma and IL-4 affect the balance between intracellular reduced glutathione (GSH) and oxidized (GSSG) glutathione, as this may affect IL-12 production in human alveolar macrophages (AM). We used both AM from healthy non-smokers obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage and the monocytic THP-1 cell line in this study. Incubation of AM for 2 h with the GSH precursor N-acetylcysteine (NAC) increased the intracellular GSH/GSSG ratio, and enhanced lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced IL-12 secretion by AM. In THP-1 cells, NAC increased the GSH/GSSG ratio and the expression of LPS-induced IL-12 mRNA, whereas L-buthionine-[S,R]-sulphoximine (BSO) decreased these. NAC and BSO offset their own effects on the intracellular GSH/GSSG ratio and the expression of LPS-induced IL-12 mRNA. Furthermore, exposure of AM to the helper T cell type 1 (Th1) cytokine IFN-gamma or the helper T cell type 2 (Th2) cytokine IL-4 for 72 h increased and decreased the GSH/GSSG ratio, respectively. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced secretion of IL-12 in AM was enhanced by IFN-gamma but inhibited by IL-4. These results suggest that IFN-gamma and IL-4 oppositely affect the GSH/GSSG balance, which may regulate IL-12 secretion from AM in response to LPS. 相似文献

NKT cells belong to a conserved T lymphocyte subgroup that has been implicated in the regulation of various immune responses, including responses to viruses, bacteria, and parasites. They express a semi-invariant TCR that recognizes glycolipids presented by the nonpolymorphic MHC class I-like molecule CD1d, and upon activation, they produce various pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Recent studies have shed light on the nature of glycolipids and the environmental signals that may influence the production of cytokines by NKT cells and thus, modulate the immune response. To better understand the regulation mechanisms of NKT cells, we explored their behavior following activation by IL-2 and investigated the signaling pathways and biological responses triggered. We demonstrated that IL-2 activates not only STAT3 and -5 and the PI-3K and ERK-2 pathways as in all IL-2 responder cells but also STAT4 as in NK cells and the p38 MAPK pathway as in alphabeta T cells. We also showed that STAT6 is activated by IL-2 in NKT cells. Moreover, IL-2 induces the production of IFN-gamma and IL-4. The ability of IL-2 to induce pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokine production, in addition to proliferation, could open new therapeutic approaches for use in combination with molecules that activate NKT cells through TCR activation. 相似文献

Approximately one-third of the world population is infected with gastrointestinal helminths. Studies in mouse models have demonstrated that the cytokines interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 are essential for worm expulsion, but the critical cellular source of these cytokines is poorly defined. Here, we compared the immune response to Nippostrongylus brasiliensis in wild-type, T cell-specific IL-4/IL-13-deficient and general IL-4/IL-13-deficient mice. We show that T cell-derived IL-4/IL-13 promoted T helper 2 (Th2) polarization in a paracrine manner, differentiation of alternatively activated macrophages, and tissue recruitment of innate effector cells. However, innate IL-4/IL-13 played the critical role for induction of goblet cell hyperplasia and secretion of effector molecules like Mucin5ac and RELMβ in the small intestine. Surprisingly, T cell-specific IL-4/IL-13-deficient and wild-type mice cleared the parasite with comparable efficiency, whereas IL-4/IL-13-deficient mice showed impaired expulsion. These findings demonstrate that IL-4/IL-13 produced by cells of the innate immune system is required and sufficient to initiate effective type 2 immune responses resulting in protective immunity against N. brasiliensis. 相似文献
