CD4+CD45RA+T cells from adults respond to recall antigens after CD28 ligation

The leukocyte common antigen isoforms CD45RA and CD45RO havelong been used to discriminate human naive and memory T cellsrespectively. This model was largely based on the observationthat CD45RO⁺ T cells respond preferentially to and show a higherfrequency of precursors specific for recall antigens. However,CD45RA⁺ T cells have more stringent requirements for stimulationand standard in vitro assays may favour CD45RO⁺ cells in thisrespect. We tested the hypothesis that CD45RAf T cells respondpoorly to in vitro stimulation with recall antigens becauseof inadequate stimulation rather than a lack of precursors.Limiting dilution analyses (LDA) for tetanus toxoid (lT)-specificT cells were performed in the presence or absence of exogenousantLCD28 antibody. Addition of antLCD28 yielded no proliferationin the absence of specific antigen. The precursor frequencyfor lT in the CD4⁺ CD45RO⁺ population was –1:4000, whilethe frequency of CD4⁺ CD45RA⁺ T cells specific for lT was 4-to >>20-fold lower. Addition of anti-CD28 antibody didnot significantly alter the apparent precursor frequency forCD45RA⁺ cells but yielded an enhancement of the value for CD45RA⁺cells by 3- to >>5-fold. No enhancement of antigen-specificproliferation by antLCD28 was observed with CD45RA⁺ T cellsderived from cord blood, although phytohemagglutinin responsesof these cells were amplified by CD28 antibody. These resultsindicate that conventional LDA underestimate the true precursorfrequency of antigen-specific cells within the adult CD45RA⁺population and support the possibility that a small number ofcells revert from a primed (CD45RO⁺) to an unprimed (CD45RA⁺)state. The majority of memory T cells, however, appear to residein the CD45RO⁺ population     

CD28 ligands CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2) induce long-term autocrine growth of CD4+ T cells and induce similar patterns of cytokine secretion in vitro

The interaction of CD28 and its ligands is critical for antigen-inducedT cell activation. Recent studies have demonstrated the existenceof at least two members of the B7 receptor family. In this report,the co-stimulatory signals provided by CD80 (B7-1) or CD86 (B7-2)were compared to CD28 ligation by mAb. We demonstrate that thekinetics of induction of T cell proliferation after anti-CD3stimulation was similar regardless of the form of co-stimulation.Similarly, B7-1 and B7-2 could both maintain long-term expansionof CD4 cells. The co-stimulatory effects of both B7-1 and B7-2were dependent on CD28 cross-linking, based on complete inhibitionof proliferation by CD28 antibody Fab fragments. Co-stimulationwith B7-1 and B7-2 induced high levels of cytokine secretionby resting T cells, and the effects of B7-1 and B7-2 could notbe distinguished. This conclusion is based on analysis of theinitial activation of CD28⁺ T cells. as well as T cell subpopulationsconsisting of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells. Both B7-1 and B7-2 couldelicit IL-4 secretion from CD4⁺ T cells while anti-CD28 antibodyinduced substantially less IL-4 secretion. Furthermore, bothB7-1 and B7-2 could stimulate high levels of IFN- and IL-4 fromCD4⁺CD45RO⁺ cells, while neither B7 receptor could co-stimulateIFN- and IL-4 secretion from CD4⁺CD45RA⁺ T cells. B7-1 and B7-2could, however, co-stimulate CD4⁺CD45RA⁺ T cells to secreteIL-2. By contrast, when previously activated T cells were tested,re-stimulation of CD4⁺ T cell blasts with B7-1 or B7-2 resultedin higher secretion of IL-4 and IL-5 than anti-CD28, while re-stimulationwith anti-CD28 antibody maintained a higher level of secretionof IL-2 and IFN- than B7-1 or B7-2. These observations may haveimportant implications because they suggest that the mannerof CD28 ligation can be a critical determinant in the developmentof cytokine secretion that corresponds to T_h1- and T_h2-likepatterns of differentiation. Together these observations suggestthat there are no Intrinsic differences between B7-1 and B7-2in their ability to co-stimulate the populations of cells thatwe have tested.     

Role of CD4+CD45RA+ T cells in the development of autoimmune diabetes in the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse

The non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse spontaneously develops aT cell-mediated autoimmune disease, sharing many features withhuman insulin-dependent diabetes mellltus (IDDM), leading toinsulin-secreting ß cell destruction. The role ofCD4⁺ T cells has been evidenced at two levels. First, CD4⁺ Tcells from diabetic animals are required to transfer diabetesto non-diabetic recipients in conjunction with CD8⁺ effectorT cells. Second, suppressive CD4⁺ T cells have been characterizedin non-diabetic NOD mice. T cells with different functions canthus share the CD4⁺ phenotype. Since CD4⁺ T cells can be dividedinto at least two subgroups on the basis of CD45 isoform expression,we evaluated the distribution of CD4⁺ T cells expressing theCD45RA isoform on NOD mouse thymocytes and peripheral T cells.The percentage of CD45RA⁺ cells was dramatically increased amongthe most mature CD3^bright thymocytes and among CD4⁺ T cellsin lymph nodes of the NOD mouse as compared with control strains.This increase was related to the development of insulitls. Interestingly,the CD45RA isoform was expressed on most CD4⁺ T cells invadingthe islets. In vivo treatment with an antl-CD45RA mAb preventedthe development of insulitls and spontaneous diabetes in femaleanimals but not the transfer of diabetes by T cells collectedfrom diabetic NOD donors. These results indicate that anti-CD45RAmAb is only effective if given before the full commitment ofeffector T cells to the destruction of islet ß cells.ThusCD4⁺CD45RA⁺ T cells play a key role in early activation stepsof anti-islet immunity.     

Anti-CD2 (OX34) MoAb treatment of adjuvant arthritic rats: attenuation of established arthritis, selective depletion of CD4+ T cells, and CD2 down-modulation

Anti-CD2 MoAbs have previously been shown to induce tolerance and to block B cell differentiation, T cell and monocyte activation. Since these immune functions are important in joint inflammation, we asked whether administration of the anti-CD2 MoAb OX34 has a beneficial effect on established rat adjuvant arthritis, a model of human rheumatoid arthritis, and how it affects CD2-bearing leucocyte subsets. Female Lewis rats with established adjuvant arthritis received a total of 5 mg OX34 or isotype-matched control MoAb starting on day 15 after adjuvant injection. Weight and arthritis score (AS) were measured in a blinded fashion. Peripheral blood cells were analysed for numbers of leucocyte subsets at various time points. Animals were killed on day 30 and lymphatic organs were processed for immunohistology. Clinically, OX34 treatment led to increased body weight and reduced AS. Although OX34 binds to CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells in a comparable fashion, OX34 treatment reduced CD4⁺ T cells, but not CD8⁺ T cells. Among CD4⁺ T cells CD45RC⁺ (‘naive’) T cells virtually disappeared; CD45RC⁻ (‘recently activated’) T cells were slightly reduced. A reduction of CD4⁺ T cells was also found in the lung, liver, bone marrow, spleen and lymph nodes. Down-modulation of the CD2 molecule by OX34, again, affected CD4⁺ T cells, suggesting a specific signal for CD4⁺ but not CD8⁺ T cells. In conclusion, the anti-CD2 MoAb OX34 attenuates established rat adjuvant arthritis. In spite of similar binding to CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells, OX34 depletes only CD4⁺ T cells and down-modulates the CD2 molecule on these cells. These results suggest a therapeutic benefit from CD2-directed therapy for chronic types of arthritis.     

Antigen-independent adhesion of CD4 CD45RA T cells from cord blood

Antigen-independent adhesion of resting adult CD4⁺ CD45RO⁺ T cells to B lymphocytes has been shown to be transient and can be down-regulated by CD4 major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecule interactions. Conversely, adhesion of adult CD4+ CD45RA+ subpopulation to B cells is not regulated by ligands of CD4. We have investigated the regulation of adhesion of cord blood CD45RA⁺ CD4⁺ T lymphocytes. In contrast to adult CD45RA⁺ CD4⁺ T cells, cord blood CD45RA⁺ CD4⁺ T cells were strongly sensitive to the down-regulation of adhesion mediated by the CD4-HLA class II interaction, since adhesion to MHC class II(⁺) B cells was transient and inhibited by an anti-CD4 antibody. In addition, human immunodeficiency virus gpl60, synthetic gpl06-derived peptides encompassing a CD4 binding site inhibited conjugate formation between cord blood CD45RA⁺ CD4+ T cells and B cells. Following activation of the cord blood CD4 T cells by an anti-CD3 antibody, a conversion from a transient to a stable adhesion pattern of cord blood CD4 T cells to B cells occurred in 2 days. The reversal to a transient adhesion occurred at day 8 following anti-CD3 activation in correlation with a complete shift to a CD45RO phenotype of the cord blood CD4 T cells. These data suggest that CD4 T cell adhesion can be developmentally regulated.     

Mel14+CD4+ T cells from aged mice display functional and phenotypic characteristics of memory cells

Aging is accompanied by an increased fraction of memory CD4⁺T cells. Despite the fact that human memory cells have beenreported to produce high levels of IL-2, studies in mice andman indicate an age-related decline in IL-2 production. In thepresent study, we examined whether these conflicting resultsdepend on the activation pathway employed in a comparison ofphenotypically distinct CD4⁺ T cells from young and aged mice.Our data indicate an age-related decline in IL-2 productionby CD4⁺ T cells when the cells were stimulated with concanavalinA in the presence of accessory cells or the combination of immobilizedanti-CD3 and soluble anti-CD28. However, when CD4⁺ T cells wereonly stimulated with Immobilized anti-CD3, an age-related increasein IL-2 production was observed. This age-related increase inIL-2 could be attributed to the ability of CD4⁺ T cells fromaged mice to produce IL-4 on this stimulation, since anti-IL-4inhibited the IL-2 production In these cultures to levels foundwith cells from young mice. The addition of exogenous IL-4 greatlyenhanced the IL-2 production of CD4⁺ T cells from young miceto levels far beyond that of the aged counterparts, emphasizingthe dominant role of IL-4 In the induction of IL-2 stimulatedwith immobilized anti-CD3. No differences were observed in theactivation requirements of Mel14^– CD4⁺ T cells from youngand aged mice. However, Mel14⁺ CD4⁺T cells from aged mice werefunctionally and phenotypically more mature than their youngcounterparts, since they were capable of IL-2 and IL-4 productionin response to antl-CD3 without the need of CD28 triggeringand expressed Pgp-1 and ICAM-1 in a higher density. Our dataindicate therefore that Mel14 is not a stable marker for naiveCD4⁺ T cells and might not be appropriate to distinguish thesecells from memory cells.
