Frequency and phenotypic analysis of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells and their phenotypic expression in peripheral blood of children with active and non-active juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and healthy controls, to determine if their frequency or phenotypic expression is involved in the immunoregulation of this disease. METHODS: From October 2004 to October 2005, 55 JIA patients and 55 age- and gender-matched healthy controls were enrolled in the study at National Taiwan University Hospital. Flow cytometry was used to determine the frequency of CD4(+)CD25(+) and CD4(+)CD25(hi) in CD4(+) T cells and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) expression on CD4(+)CD25(+) by tricolor staining. Basic profiles, medication history, clinical symptoms and laboratory data were obtained by chart review and outpatient department interviews. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in expression of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells between patients with inactive JIA and normal controls (13.74+/-3.25% vs 12.85+/-3.68%, p>0.05). The expression of CD4(+)CD25(hi) T cells was significantly lower in inactive JIA patients than in normal controls (1.89+/-1.01% vs 2.76+/-1.28%, p<0.01). The expression of CTLA-4 on CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells was also significantly lower in inactive JIA patients compared with controls (4.37+/-2.02% vs 6.33+/-2.57%, p<0.001). CONCLUSION: We speculate that a decreased frequency of CD4(+)CD25(hi) regulatory T cells and lower level of CTLA-4 expression on CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells might play a role in the immunoregulation of JIA.     

CD4+CD25high调节性T细胞在类风湿性关节炎病程中的消长及其意义

目的研究类风湿性关节炎(RA)患者病情发展不同阶段外周血及滑液中CD4 CD25high调节性T细胞数量的差别,及其与类风湿性关节炎活动程度的相关性,探讨CD4 CD25highT细胞在RA发生发展中所发挥的免疫抑制和调节作用。方法分别选取未经过缓解病情抗风湿药(DMARDs)治疗的活动性RA患者11例,经DMARDs治疗病情缓解的RA患者12例,和DMARDs治疗后效果不佳的RA患者9例,以及正常对照8例,检测他们的外周血淋巴细胞,以流式细胞术检测CD4 CD25high调节性T细胞的百分率,并研究CD4 CD25highT细胞百分率与抗环瓜氨酸(CCP)抗体,C反应蛋白(CRP),血沉(ESR)及类风湿因子(RF)的相关性。对其中部分患者的血液和关节滑液同时进行分析。结果RA未经治疗组和治疗效果不佳组CD4 CD25highT细胞的百分率(分别是5.24%和6.43%)明显低于正常对照组和治疗后病情缓解组(分别是17.17%和11.79%,P<0.01)。RA患者CD4 CD25highT细胞的百分率与抗CCP抗体(58.0Ru/mL),ESR(38.8mm/h)及CRP(2.73μg/L)呈明显负相关(P<0.05),与类风湿因子(RF=14.4Iu/mL)无明显的相关性(P=0.054)。正常对照组的CD4 CD25highT细胞百分率与抗CCP抗体(均<5.0Ru/mL),ESR(4.67mm/h),CRP(0.15μg/L)及RF(1.37)无明显相关性(P>0.1)。RA患者关节滑液中CD4 CD25highT百分率明显低于强直性脊柱炎(ankilosing spondylitis,AS)关节积液患者(P<0.05)。结论试验结果表明未经缓解病情治疗和治疗后效果不佳者的外周血中,CD4 CD25high调节性T细胞相对减少,且与病情活动程度负相关,这可能是RA发生和发展的一个重要因素。     

Regulatory CD4+CD25hi T cells conserve their function and phenotype after granulocyte colony-stimulating factor treatment in human hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD), mediated by CD4(+) and CD8(+) effector T cells, is a life-threatening complication in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. CD4(+)CD25(hi) regulatory T cells (T(reg)) have been shown to modulate tolerance to aGVHD in murine models. Based on these observations, we examined their role in the prevention of aGVHD in patients who underwent transplantation with peripheral blood-mobilized hematopoietic stem cells after administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. The effects of the G-CSF on the phenotype, frequency, and function of CD4(+)CD25(hi) T cells were analyzed in grafts and after transplantation to determine whether these cells were regulatory T cells. CD4(+)CD25(hi) T cells could be detected at the same frequency before and after granulocyte colony-stimulating factor administration in the donors' peripheral blood. The isolation of these cells from the grafts or from the recipients' peripheral blood after transplantation revealed that they were suppressive to the same extent as T(reg) isolated from healthy volunteers. Their number and frequency were estimated in the grafts and the results indicated that protection against aGVHD was not dependent on the T(reg) amount transferred to the recipients. Similarly there was no correlation between the number of circulating CD4(+)CD25(hi) T cells in the recipients' peripheral blood during the early period after transplantation and the outcome of aGVHD.     

Circulating lymphocyte subsets in different clinical situations after renal transplantation

Phenotypic characterization of T and B lymphocytes allows the discrimination of functionally different subsets. Here, we questioned whether changes in peripheral lymphocyte subset distribution reflect specific clinical and histopathological entities after renal transplantation. Sixty-five renal transplant recipients with either histologically proven (sub)clinical acute rejection or chronic allograft dysfunction, or without abnormalities were studied for their peripheral lymphocyte subset composition and compared with 15 healthy control individuals. Naive, memory and effector CD8(+) T-cell counts were measured by staining for CD27, CD28 and CD45RO/RA. In addition, we studied the CD25(+) CD4(+) T-cell population for its composition regarding regulatory Foxp3(+) CD45RO(+) CD127(-) cells and activated CD45RO(+) CD127(+) cells. Naive, non-switched and switched memory B cells were defined by staining for IgD and CD27. We found a severe decrease in circulating effector-type CD8(+) T cells in recipients with chronic allograft dysfunction at 5 years after transplantation. Percentages of circulating CD25(+) CD127(low) CD4(+) regulatory T cells after transplantation were reduced, but we could not detect any change in the percentage of CD127(+) CD45RO(+) CD4(+) activated T cells in patients at any time or condition after renal transplantation. Regardless of clinical events, all renal transplant recipients showed decreased total B-cell counts and a more differentiated circulating B-cell pool than healthy individuals. The changes in lymphocyte subset distribution probably reflect the chronic antigenic stimulation that occurs in these transplant recipients. To determine the usefulness of lymphocyte subset-typing in clinical practice, large cohort studies are necessary.     

Generation of recombinant guinea pig antibody fragments to the human GABAC receptor

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are of crucial importance to suppress graft versus host disease (GvHD) post allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT), but are also known to impair antitumor immunity. However, Treg longitudinal studies are rare and in this respect advanced flowcytometric approaches for Treg characterization are necessary. To investigate the relation of both the percentage and the absolute numbers of Tregs on GvHD or relapse we measured CD4(+)CD25(+/hi)CD127(lo/-) Tregs in 239 peripheral blood (PB) samples of 16 patients during the first two years post-SCT. A 10-color flowcytometric panel was established to evaluate Treg subpopulations and has been tested in ten healthy individuals. In patients we demonstrated a decrease in CD127 expression on T cells early post-SCT which increases during the first year. Moreover, Tregs reached higher absolute numbers in patients with GvHD≤grade I compared to those with GvHD grades II-IV. In contrast, the percentage of Tregs was significantly higher in patients with GvHD grades II-IV or disease relapse compared to those without GvHD. These patients fit into the range of healthy individuals where a median value of 7.5% and 6.4% of T helper cells were characterized as CD4(+)CD25(+/hi)CD127(lo/-) and CD4(+)CD25(+/hi) Tregs, respectively. Furthermore, Tregs could be further subdivided into 40% na?ve, 51% central memory and 9% effector memory Tregs. Our results showed for the first time a downregulation of CD127 expression on T cells including Tregs in patients early post-SCT. Additionally, new insights into the recovery of Tregs regarding GvHD and relapse were provided.
