Intravenous (i.v.) injection of a soluble myelin antigen can induce tolerance, which effectively ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). We have previously shown that i.v. myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) induces tolerance in EAE and expands a subpopulation of tolerogenic CD11c+CD11b+ dendritic cells (DCs) with an immature phenotype having low expression of IA and co‐stimulatory molecules CD40, CD86, and CD80. Here, we further investigate the role of tolerogenic DCs in i.v. tolerance by injecting clodronate‐loaded liposomes, which selectively deplete CD11c+CD11b+ and immature DCs, but not CD11c+CD8+ DCs and mature DCs. I.v. MOG‐induced suppression of EAE was partially, yet significantly, blocked by CD11c+CD11b+ DC depletion. While i.v. MOG inhibited IA, CD40, CD80, CD86 expression and induced TGF‐β, IL‐27, IL‐10 production in CD11c+CD11b+ DCs, these effects were abrogated after injection of clodronate‐loaded liposomes. Depletion of CD11c+CD11b+ DCs also precluded i.v. autoantigen‐induced T‐cell tolerance, such as decreased production of IL‐2, IFN‐γ, IL‐17 and numbers of IL‐2+, IFN‐γ+, and IL‐17+ CD4+ T cells, as well as an increased proportion of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ regulatory T cells and CD4+IL‐10+Foxp3? Tr1 cells. CD11c+CD11b+ DCs, through low expression of IA and costimulatory molecules as well as high expression of TGF‐β, IL‐27, and IL‐10, play an important role in i.v. tolerance‐induced EAE suppression. 相似文献

The ability of different CD4+ T cell subsets to help CD8+ T‐cell response is not fully understood. Here, we found using the murine system that Th17 cells induced by IL‐1β, unlike Th1, were not effective helpers for antiviral CD8 responses as measured by IFNγ‐producing cells or protection against virus infection. However, they skewed CD8 responses to a Tc17 phenotype. Thus, the apparent lack of help was actually immune deviation. This skewing depended on both IL‐21 and IL‐23. To overcome this effect, we inhibited Th17 induction by blocking TGF‐β. Anti‐TGF‐β allowed the IL‐1β adjuvant to enhance CD8+ T‐cell responses without skewing the phenotype to Tc17, thereby providing an approach to harness the benefit of common IL‐1‐inducing adjuvants like alum without immune deviation. 相似文献

IL‐18 has been implicated in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), however its role in the regulation of intestinal CD4+ T‐cell function remains unclear. Here we show that murine intestinal CD4+ T cells express high levels of IL‐18Rα and provide evidence that IL‐18Rα expression is induced on these cells subsequent to their entry into the intestinal mucosa. Using the CD45RBhi T‐cell transfer colitis model, we show that IL‐18Rα is expressed on IFN‐γ+, IL‐17+, and IL‐17+IFN‐γ+ effector CD4+ T cells in the inflamed colonic lamina propria (cLP) and mesenteric lymph node (MLN) and is required for the optimal generation and/or maintenance of IFN‐γ‐producing cells in the cLP. In the steady state and during colitis, TCR‐independent cytokine‐induced IFN‐γ and IL‐17 production by intestinal CD4+ T cells was largely IL‐18Rα?dependent. Despite these findings however, IL‐18Rα?deficient CD4+ T cells induced comparable intestinal pathology to WT CD4+ T cells. These findings suggest that IL‐18‐dependent cytokine induced activation of CD4+ T cells is not critical for the development of T‐cell‐mediated colitis. 相似文献

IFN‐β currently serves as one of the major treatments for MS. Its anti‐inflammatory mechanism has been reported as involving a shift in cytokine balance from Th1 to Th2 in the T‐cell response against elements of the myelin sheath. In addition to the Th1 and Th2 groups, two other important pro‐inflammatory cytokines, IL‐17 and osteopontin (OPN), are believed to play important roles in CNS inflammation in the pathogenesis of MS. In this study, we examined the potential effects of IFN‐β on the regulation of OPN and IL‐17 in MS patients. We found that IFN‐β used in vitro at 0.5–3 ng/mL significantly inhibited the production of OPN in primary T cells derived from PBMC. The inhibition of OPN was determined to occur at the CD4+ T‐cell level. In addition, IFN‐β inhibited the production of IL‐17 and IL‐21 in CD4+ T cells. It has been described that IFN‐β suppresses IL‐17 production through the inhibition of a monocytic cytokine, the intracellular translational isoform of OPN. Our further investigation demonstrated that IFN‐β also acted directly on the CD4+ T cells to regulate OPN and IL‐17 expression through the type I IFN receptor‐mediated activation of STAT1 and suppression of STAT3 activity. Administration of IFN‐β to EAE mice ameliorated the disease severity. Furthermore, spinal cord infiltration of OPN+ and IL‐17+ cells decreased in IFN‐β‐treated EAE mice along with decreases in serum levels of OPN and IL‐21. Importantly, decreased OPN production by IFN‐β treatment contributes to the reduced migratory activity of T cells. Taken together, the results from both in vitro and in vivo experiments indicate that IFN‐β treatment can down‐regulate the OPN and IL‐17 production in MS. This study provides new insights into the mechanism of action of IFN‐β in the treatment of MS. 相似文献

The transfer of alloreactive regulatory T (aTreg) cells into transplant recipients represents an attractive treatment option to improve long‐term graft acceptance. We recently described a protocol for the generation of aTreg cells in mice using a nondepleting anti‐CD4 antibody (aCD4). Here, we investigated whether adding TGF‐β and retinoic acid (RA) or rapamycin (Rapa) can further improve aTreg‐cell generation and function. Murine CD4+ T cells were cultured with allogeneic B cells in the presence of aCD4 alone, aCD4+TGF‐β+RA or aCD4+Rapa. Addition of TGF‐β+RA or Rapa resulted in an increase of CD25+Foxp3+‐expressing T cells. Expression of CD40L and production of IFN‐γ and IL‐17 was abolished in aCD4+TGF‐β+RA aTreg cells. Additionally, aCD4+TGF‐β+RA aTreg cells showed the highest level of Helios and Neuropilin‐1 co‐expression. Although CD25+Foxp3+ cells from all culture conditions displayed complete demethylation of the Treg‐specific demethylated region, aCD4+TGF‐β+RA Treg cells showed the most stable Foxp3 expression upon restimulation. Consequently, aCD4+TGF‐β+RA aTreg cells suppressed effector T‐cell differentiation more effectively in comparison to aTreg cells harvested from all other cultures, and furthermore inhibited acute graft versus host disease and especially skin transplant rejection. Thus, addition of TGF‐β+RA seems to be superior over Rapa in stabilising the phenotype and functional capacity of aTreg cells. 相似文献

The Ex Vivo Induction of Human CD103+ CD25hi Foxp3+ CD4+ and CD8+ Tregs is IL‐2 and TGF‐β1 Dependent

The expression of the integrin αE (CD103), may enhance the retention of regulatory T cells to peripheral inflammatory sites and possibly contribute to their suppressive potential. The aim of this study was to define the regulatory role of IL‐2 and TGF‐β1 on the CD103 expression and the optimal in vitro conditions for the induction/expansion of human CD4+ and CD8+ Tregs. Cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMC) were stimulated under various culture conditions, including anti‐CD3, anti‐CD28, IL‐2 and TGF‐β1. TGF‐β1 and IL‐2 were both required for optimal expression of CD103. In addition, TGF‐β1 and IL‐2 synergistically induced CD103 expression on CD8+ T cells, whereas, only additive induced expression was noted on CD4+ T cells. Surprisingly, CD103 expression was not dependent upon CD28 costimulation. IL‐2 also played a central role in CD103 expression by CD25hi Foxp3+ Tregs. IL‐2, TGF‐β1 and anti‐CD3 defined the optimal stimulatory conditions favouring the induction/expansion of both CD4+ and CD8+ human Tregs from naive CBMC. Thus, this study provides new insights into the regulatory role of IL‐2 upon CD103 expression by human cord blood CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Furthermore, it identifies the in vitro culture conditions driving the differentiation of the novel phenotype CD4+ and CD8+ CD103+ CD25hi Foxp3+ Tregs from human CBMC. 相似文献

Although CD8+ Treg‐mediated suppression has been described, CD8+ Treg remain poorly characterized. Here we identify a novel subset of CD8+ Treg that express latency‐associated peptide (LAP) on their cell surface (CD8+LAP+ cells) and exhibit regulatory activity in vitro and in vivo. Only a small fraction of CD8+LAP+ cells express Foxp3 or CD25, although the expression levels of Foxp3 for these cells are higher than their LAP? counterparts. In addition to TGF‐β, CD8+LAP+ cells produce IFN‐γ, and these cells suppress EAE that is dependent on both TGF‐β and IFN‐γ. In an adoptive co‐transfer model, CD8+LAP+ cells suppress myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)‐specific immune responses by inducing or expanding Foxp3+ cells and by inhibiting proliferation and IFN‐γ production in vivo. Furthermore, in vivo neutralization of IFN‐γ and studies with IFN‐γ‐deficient mice demonstrate an important role for IFN‐γ production in the function of CD8+LAP+ cells. Our findings identify the underlying mechanisms that account for the immunoregulatory activity of CD8+ T cells and suggest that induction or amplification of CD8+LAP+ cells may be a therapeutic strategy to help control autoimmune processes. 相似文献

Human type I interferons (IFNs) include IFN‐β and 12 subtypes of IFN‐α. During viral infection, infiltrating memory CD4 + T cells are exposed to IFNs, but their impact on memory T‐cell function is poorly understood. To address this, we pretreated PBMCs with different IFNs for 16 h before stimulation with Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B and measured cytokine expression by flow cytometry. IFN‐α8 and ‐α10 most potently enhanced expression of IFN‐γ, IL‐2, and IL‐4. Potency among the subtypes differed most at doses between 10 and 100 U/mL. While enhancement of IL‐2 and IL‐4 correlated with the time of preincubation with type I IFN, IFN‐γ production was enhanced best when IFN‐α was added immediately preceding or simultaneously with T‐cell stimulation. Comparison of T‐cell responses to multiple doses of Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin B and to peptide libraries from RSV or CMV demonstrated that IFN‐α best enhanced cytokine expression when CD4 + T cells were suboptimally stimulated. We conclude that type I IFNs enhance Th1 and Th2 function with dose dependency and subtype specificity, and best when T‐cell stimulation is suboptimal. While type I IFNs may beneficially enhance CD4 + T‐cell memory responses to vaccines or viral pathogens, they may also enhance the function of resident Th2 cells and exacerbate allergic inflammation. 相似文献

Anergic T cells can survive for long time periods passively in a hyporesponsive state without obvious active functions. Thus, the immunological reason for their maintenance is unclear. Here, we induced peptide‐specific anergy in T cells from mice by coculturing these cells with immature murine dendritic cells (DCs). We found that these anergic, nonsuppressive IL‐10?Foxp3?CTLA‐4+CD25lowEgr2+ T cells could be converted into suppressive IL‐10+Foxp3?CTLA‐4+CD25highEgr2+ cells resembling type‐1 Treg cells (Tr1) when stimulated a second time by immature DCs in vitro. Addition of TGF‐β during anergy induction favored Foxp3+ Treg‐cell induction, while TGF‐β had little effect when added to the second stimulation. Expression of both CD28 and CTLA‐4 molecules on anergic T cells was required to allow their conversion into Tr1‐like cells. Suppressor activity was enabled via CD28‐mediated CD25 upregulation, acting as an IL‐2 sink, together with a CTLA‐4‐mediated inhibition of NFATc1/α activation to shut down IL‐2‐mediated proliferation. Together, these data provide evidence and mechanistical insights into how persistent anergic T cells may serve as a resting memory pool for Tr1‐like cells. 相似文献

Type I interferons (IFNs) have the dual ability to promote the development of the immune response and exert an anti‐inflammatory activity. We analyzed the integrated effect of IFN‐α, TCR signal strength, and CD28 costimulation on human CD4+ T‐cell differentiation into cell subsets producing the anti‐ and proinflammatory cytokines IL‐10 and IFN‐γ. We show that IFN‐α boosted TCR‐induced IL‐10 expression in activated peripheral CD45RA+CD4+ T cells and in whole blood cultures. The functional cooperation between TCR and IFN‐α efficiently occurred at low engagement of receptors. Moreover, IFN‐α rapidly cooperated with anti‐CD3 stimulation alone. IFN‐α, but not IL‐10, drove the early development of type I regulatory T cells that were mostly IL‐10+ Foxp3? IFN‐γ? and favored IL‐10 expression in a fraction of Foxp3+ T cells. Our data support a model in which IFN‐α costimulates TCR toward the production of IL‐10 whose level can be amplified via an autocrine feedback loop. 相似文献

Expression of the adhesion molecule, CD146/MCAM/MelCAM, on T cells has been associated with recent activation, memory subsets and T helper type 17 (Th17) effector function, and is elevated in inflammatory arthritis. Th17 cells have been implicated in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritides (SpA). Here, we compared the expression of CD146 on CD4+ T cells between healthy donors (HD) and patients with RA and SpA [ankylosing spondylitis (AS) or psoriatic arthritis (PsA)] and examined correlations with surface markers and cytokine secretion. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) were obtained from patients and controls, and synovial fluid mononuclear cells (SFMC) from patients. Cytokine production [elicited by phorbol myristate acetate (PMA)/ionomycin] and surface phenotypes were evaluated by flow cytometry. CD146+CD4+ and interleukin (IL)‐17+CD4+ T cell frequencies were increased in PBMC of PsA patients, compared with HD, and in SFMC compared with PBMC. CD146+CD4+ T cells were enriched for secretion of IL‐17 [alone or with IL‐22 or interferon (IFN)‐γ] and for some putative Th17‐associated surface markers (CD161 and CCR6), but not others (CD26 and IL‐23 receptor). CD4+ T cells producing IL‐22 or IFN‐γ without IL‐17 were also present in the CD146+ subset, although their enrichment was less marked. Moreover, a majority of cells secreting these cytokines lacked CD146. Thus, CD146 is not a sensitive or specific marker of Th17 cells, but rather correlates with heterogeneous cytokine secretion by subsets of CD4+ helper T cells. 相似文献

Beta2‐adrenergic receptor (B2AR) signaling is known to impair Th1‐cell differentiation and function in a cAMP‐dependent way, leading to inhibition of cell proliferation and decreased production of IL‐2 and IFN‐γ. CD4+ Foxp3+ Treg cells play a key role in the regulation of immune responses and are essential for maintenance of self‐tolerance. Nevertheless, very little is known about adrenergic receptor expression in Treg cells or the influence of noradrenaline on their function. Here we show that Foxp3+ Treg cells express functional B2AR. B2AR activation in Treg cells leads to increased intracellular cAMP levels and to protein kinase A (PKA)‐dependent CREB phosphorylation. We also found that signaling via B2AR enhances the in vitro suppressive activity of Treg cells. B2AR‐mediated increase in Treg‐cell suppressive function was associated with decreased IL‐2 mRNA levels in responder CD4+ T cells and improved Treg‐cell‐induced conversion of CD4+ Foxp3? cells into Foxp3+ induced Treg cells. Moreover, B2AR signaling increased CTLA‐4 expression in Treg cells in a PKA‐dependent way. Finally, we found that PKA inhibition totally prevented the B2AR‐mediated increase in Treg‐cell suppressive function. Our data suggest that sympathetic fibers are able to regulate Treg‐cell suppressive activity in a positive manner through B2AR signaling. 相似文献

CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T (Treg) cells expressing Foxp3+ play a critical role in maintaining immune homoeostasis and controlling excessive immune responses. However, controversy about the immunoregulatory role of Treg cells exists in malaria studies. Given the role of maintenance of Foxp3 expression in Treg cells’ activities, we investigated whether anti‐CD25 mAb (7D4 clone) treatment affects Foxp3 expression in CD4+ T cells in DBA/2 mice infected with Plasmodium chabaudi chabaudi AS (P. c. chabaudi AS). We found that DBA/2 mice succumbed to P. c. chabaudi AS infection, which was accompanied by increased expression of Foxp3 in CD4+ T cells at the peak parasitemia. In contrast, Foxp3 expression was impaired in CD25‐depleted mice with 7D4 mAb treatment, leading to delayed parasitemia and extended survival of infected mice. Production of IFN‐γ, TNF‐α and IL‐6, as well as NO was significantly enhanced in CD25‐depleted mice. The majority of CD4+ CTLA‐4+ cells expressed high levels of Foxp3 (Foxp3hi cells) in control mice with P. c. chabaudi AS infection. However, the number of CD4+ Foxp3hiCTLA‐4+ cells was reduced in CD25‐depleted mice. Together, these data suggest that CD4+ Foxp3hiCTLA‐4+ cells may be involved in regulating the intensity of pro‐inflammatory responses via CTLA‐4. 相似文献
