Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from the autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells and is partly caused by deficiencies in the Foxp3+ regulatory T‐cell (Treg) compartment. Conversely, therapies that increase Treg function can prevent autoimmune diabetes in animal models. The majority of Tregs develop in the thymus (tTregs), but a proportion of Foxp3+ Tregs is generated in the periphery (pTregs) from Foxp3?CD4+ T‐cell precursors. Whether pTregs play a distinct role in T1D has not yet been explored. We report here that pTregs are a key modifier of disease in the nonobese diabetic (NOD) mouse model for T1D. We generated NOD mice deficient for the Foxp3 enhancer CNS1 involved in pTreg induction. We show that CNS1 knockout decreased the frequency of pTregs and increased the risk of diabetes. Our results show that pTregs fulfill an important non‐redundant function in the prevention of beta cell autoimmunity that causes T1D. 相似文献

Almost all mice lacking specific molecules associated with regulatory T cells or barrier function develop intestinal inflammation in the colon, but not in the small intestine (SI). Therefore, intestinal homeostasis of the SI may be tightly controlled by other mechanisms. To determine the role of CCR9(+) plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in intestinal homeostasis of the SI we transferred CD4(+)CD45RB(high) T cells into ccr9(-/-)×rag-2(-/-) mice. We showed that CCL25, a counterpart chemokine for CCR9, is constitutively expressed in the SI but not the colon and spleen of rag-2(-/-) or ccr9(-/-)×rag-2(-/-) mice before or after transfer of CD4(+)CD45RB(high) T cells. The ccr9(-/-)×rag-2(-/-) mice did not develop spontaneous intestinal inflammation in the SI and colon. Mice of both genotype where CD4(+)CD45RB(high) T cells were transferred developed colitis. However, the ccr9(-/-)×rag-2(-/-) mice also developed ileitis with marked infiltration of Th1 cells. These results suggest that CCR9(+) pDCs are possibly small, regulatory, antigen-presenting cells of the intestine that suppress intestinal inflammation. 相似文献

The intestinal lumen harbors nearly 100 trillion commensal bacteria that exert crucial function for health. An elaborate balance between immune responses and tolerance to intestinal microbiota is required to maintain intestinal homeostasis. This process depends on diverse regulatory mechanisms, including both innate and adaptive immunity. Dysregulation of the homeostasis between intestinal immune systems and microbiota has been shown to be associated with the development of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in genetically susceptible populations. In this review, we discuss the recent progress reported in studies of distinct types of regulatory immune cells in the gut, including intestinal intraepithelial lymphocytes, Foxp3+ regulatory T cells, regulatory B cells, alternatively activated macrophages, dendritic cells, and innate lymphoid cells, and how dysfunction of this immune regulatory system contributes to intestinal diseases such as IBD. Moreover, we discuss the manipulation of these regulatory immune cells as a potential therapeutic method for management of intestinal inflammatory disorders. 相似文献

Steady-state dendritic cells (DCs) migrating in the lymph from the intestine induce tolerance to harmless intestinal antigens, preventing inflammatory responses. To determine if such DCs are inherently tolerogenic we collected intestinal lymph DCs (L-DCs) by cannulation of the thoracic duct of rats after mesenteric lymphadenectomy, and examined their capacity to activate naive CD4+ lymphocytes in an allogeneic mixed leucocyte reaction. L-DCs stimulated strong proliferative responses, induced secretion of inflammatory cytokines including interferon-γ, and induced FoxP3-positive lymphocytes to divide. To determine if the activated CD4+ T cells had been tolerized, they were rested and restimulated with irradiated splenocytes. The restimulated CD4+ T cells again proliferated and secreted inflammatory cytokines. These data demonstrate that the DCs, which migrate from the intestine in the steady state, are paradoxically able to induce strong inflammatory responses from naive T cells, despite their role in the maintenance of oral tolerance. 相似文献

During the resolution phase of inflammation, the 'corpses' of apoptotic leukocytes are gradually cleared by macrophages. Here we report that during the resolution of peritonitis, the CCR5 chemokine receptor ligands CCL3 and CCL5 persisted in CCR5-deficient mice. CCR5 expression on apoptotic neutrophils and activated apoptotic T cells sequestered and effectively cleared CCL3 and CCL5 from sites of inflammation. CCR5 expression on late apoptotic human polymorphonuclear cells was downregulated by proinflammatory stimuli, including tumor necrosis factor, and was upregulated by 'proresolution' lipid mediators, including lipoxin A4, resolvin E1 and protectin D1. Our results suggest that CCR5+ apoptotic leukocytes act as 'terminators' of chemokine signaling during the resolution of inflammation. 相似文献

CCR2+ and CCR5+ CD8+ T cells increase during viral infection and migrate to sites of infection 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
Chemokines and their receptors play a critical role in the selective recruitment of various leukocyte subsets. In this study, we correlated the expression of multiple chemokine and CC chemokine receptor (CCR) genes during the course of intracerebral (i.c.) infection with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) and vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV), which are prototypic of a noncytopathic and a cytopathic virus, respectively. Infection of mice with either virus resulted in rapid activation and overlapping cerebral expression of a number of chemokine genes. Infection with VSV i.c. causes a rapidly lethal, T cell-independent encephalitis, and infection resulted in a dramatic early up-regulation of chemokine gene expression. Similar marked up-regulation of chemokine expression was not seen until late after LCMV infection and required the presence of activated T cells. Cerebral CCR gene expression was dominated by CCR1, CCR2 and CCR5. However, despite a stronger initial chemokine signal in VSV-infected mice, only LCMV-induced T cell-dependent inflammation was found to be associated with substantially increased expression of CCR genes. Virus-activated CD8+ T cells were found to express CCR2 and CCR5, whereas activated monocytes/macrophages expressed CCR1 in addition to CCR2 and CCR5. Together, these CCR profiles readily account for the CCR profile prominent during CD8+-dependent CNS inflammation. 相似文献

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder eliciting occurrence of colorectal cancer, the third most common human malignancy. The diagnosis of UC is based on clinical symptoms combined with typical findings on endoscopy, radiology, and ultimately pathology. We investigated the variation trend of CD4+CD29+T cells together with MPO, VCAM-1 in different periods of rat UC model and UC patients. We also evaluated the relationship between CD4+CD29+T cells and disease severity. UC model was induced by administering DNCB liquid and acetate solution. We found upregulated expression of CD4+CD29+T cells in both peripheral blood and colon from rats, and a similar trend for MPO and VCAM-1 in colon (P < 0.05); the expression was especially enhanced in UC rats at two weeks after the model was established (P < 0.01). Such upregulation was also indicated in active and remission UC patients as compared to the healthy and enteritis groups (P < 0.05), with the highest expression level detected in the active UC patients (P < 0.01). Pearson correlation analysis showed a positive correlation of CD4+CD29+T cells in rat and human peripheral blood with DAI score (rrat = 0.712, rhuman = 0.677, P < 0.01), and MPO in colon (rrat = 0.514, rhuman = 0.682, P < 0.05). These results suggest that CD4+CD29+T cells may act as major effector cell subsets in persistent inflammatory responses for UC and that infiltration into colon inflammation may be induced by the combination of VCAM-1 and CD29. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Allergic skin inflammation such as atopic dermatitis (AD), which is characterized by pruritus and inflammation, is regulated partly through the activity of regulatory T cells (Tregs). Tregs play key roles in the immune response by preventing or suppressing the differentiation, proliferation and function of various immune cells, including CD4+ T cells. Recent studies report that fermentation has a tremendous capacity to transform chemical structures or create new substances, and the omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) in fish oil can reduce inflammation in allergic patients. The beneficial effects of natural fish oil (NFO) have been described in many diseases, but the mechanism by which fermented fish oil (FFO) modulates the immune system and the allergic response is poorly understood. In this study, we produced FFO and tested its ability to suppress the allergic inflammatory response and to activate CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs. RESULTS: The ability of FFO and NFO to modulate the immune system was investigated using a mouse model of AD. Administration of FFO or NFO in the drinking water alleviated the allergic inflammation in the skin, and FFO was more effective than NFO. FFO treatment did increase the expression of the immune-suppressive cytokines TGF-beta and IL-10. In addition, ingestion of FFO increased Foxp3 expression and the number of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ Tregs compared with NFO. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that the anti-allergic effect of FFO is associated with enrichment of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cells at the inflamed sites and that FFO may be effective in treating the allergic symptoms of AD. 相似文献

The immune response to influenza A virus is characterized by an influx of both macrophages and T lymphocytes into the lungs of the infected host, accompanied by induced expression of a number of CC chemokines. CC chemokine receptors CCR5 and CCR2 are both expressed on activated macrophages and T cells. We examined how the absence of these chemokine receptors would affect pulmonary chemokine expression and induced leukocyte recruitment by infecting CCR5-deficient mice and CCR2-deficient mice with a mouse-adapted strain of influenza A virus. CCR5(-/-) mice displayed increased mortality rates associated with acute, severe pneumonitis, whereas CCR2(-/-) mice were protected from the early pathological manifestations of influenza because of defective macrophage recruitment. This delay in macrophage accumulation in CCR2(-/-) mice caused a subsequent delay in T cell migration, which correlated with high pulmonary viral titers at early time points. Infected CCR5(-/-) mice and CCR2(-/-) mice both exhibited increased expression of the gene for MCP-1, the major ligand for CCR2(-/-) and a key regulator of induced macrophage migration. These studies illustrate the very different roles that CCR5 and CCR2 play in the macrophage response to influenza infection and demonstrate how defects in macrophage recruitment affect the normal development of the cell-mediated immune response. 相似文献

The inflamed synovial tissue (ST) of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is characterized by the selective accumulation of interferon gamma-producing Th1-type CD4+ T cells. In this study, we investigated whether the predominance of Th1-type CD4+ cells in the ST lesion is mediated by their selective recruitment through Th1 cell-associated chemokine receptors CXCR3 and CCR5. The lymphocyte aggregates in the ST of RA contained a large number of CD4+ T cells, which mostly expressed both CXCR3 and CCR5, but not CCR4. In contrast, the frequencies of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells expressing CXCR3 and CCR5 in the blood were significantly decreased in RA patients, compared with healthy controls (HC), although there was no difference in the frequencies of CCR4-expressing CD4+ and CD8+ T cells between RA and HC. CXCR3, CCR5, and CCR4 expression in blood CD4 + T cells and CXCR3 expression in CD8+ T cells were increased after interleukin-15 (IL-15) stimulation. Therefore, the distribution of Th1-type CD4+ T cells into the ST from the blood in RA may be associated with the local expression of chemokines, both CXCR3 and CCR5 ligands, and IL-15 may play a role in enhancing these chemokine receptors on CD4+ T cell infiltrates. 相似文献

Plasmodium falciparum stimulates peripheral blood gamma delta + T cells from unexposed donors. The responding cells bear V gamma 9+ chains of the T cell receptor, the majority of which, but not all, are associated with V delta 2 chains. We have analyzed whether the precursor frequency of these V gamma 9+ cells approaches that expected of superantigens or mitogens and whether, like a superantigen, the response is major histocompatibility complex (MHC) unrestricted. Limiting dilution analyses of the response of enriched gamma delta + T cells to P.falciparum using autologous and heterologous antigen-presenting cells suggest that the response is more characteristic of an antigen-specific MHC-restricted response. The frequencies are lower than would be expected if all V gamma 9+ cells respond, and there is a dramatically reduced response when allogeneic antigen-presenting cells are used. 相似文献

Colon lamina propria dendritic cells induce a proinflammatory cytokine response in lamina propria T cells in the SCID mouse model of colitis 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Intestinal immune responses are normally regulated to maintain a state of immune balance. Dendritic cells (DC) are antigen-presenting cells, which induce immune responses against microbes and other stimuli and are key players in the regulation of tolerance in the gut. These cells influence the differentiation of cytokine responses in T cells, and in the gut, in particular, such interactions may be critical to the course of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Using the CD45RBhi CD4+ T cell-reconstituted severe combined immunodeficient mouse model of colitis, we investigated the ability of isolated colon DC to stimulate immune responses in syngeneic and allogeneic spleen CD4+ T cells, as well as in colon T cells isolated from the same tissue as DC in IBD mice. We found that the frequency of DC in IBD mice colons and spleens was elevated in comparison with control mice, but colon and spleen DC exhibited different phenotypic and functional properties. Colon DC stimulated significantly higher levels of interferon-gamma and interleukin-6 when cocultured with autologous colon T cells than in cocultures with syngeneic or allogeneic spleen T cells. These data suggest that in the IBD colon, DC-T cell interactions may create conditions with an abundance of proinflammatory cytokines, which favor the inflammatory state. 相似文献

The chemokine receptor CCR9 and its only known ligand CCL25 play an important role in gut inflammation and autoimmune colitis. The function of CCR9-CCL25 in the migration of immune cells is well characterized. However, its role in the immune cell differentiation is mostly not known. Using dextran sodium sulfate (DSS)-induced gut inflammation model, we showed that CCR9+ dendritic cells (DCs) specifically CD11b−CD103+ DCs were significantly increased in the gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT) compared to control mice. These CCR9+ DCs express lower MHC II and CD86 molecules and had regulatory surface markers (FasL and latency-associated peptide, LAP) in the GALT. In the presence of CCL25, CCR9+ DCs promoted in vitro differentiation of Foxp3+ regulatory CD4+ T cells (Tregs). CCL25-induced differentiation of Tregs was due to intrinsic signaling in the DCs but not through CD4+ T cells, which was driven by the production of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and not IL-10. Furthermore, adoptive transfer of CCR9+ DCs in C57BL/6 mice promoted Tregs but reduced the Th17 cells in the GALT, and also suppressed the OVA-specific gut-allergic response. Our results suggest CCR9+ DCs have a regulatory function and may provide a new cellular therapeutic strategy to control gut inflammation and allergic immune reaction. 相似文献

Summary: The aim of our research is to determine the biological function of gd T lymphocytes and in particular the role they play in microbial immunity. Although evidence of gd T‐cell activation and expansion has been obtained from numerous infectious diseases, how they contribute to pathogen-induced immune responses is still not clear. Based upon extensive studies of gd T‐cell involvement in the immune response to viral and bacterial pathogens in both mice and humans, we have uncovered evidence of their direct involvement in terminating host immune responses to infection and preventing chronic disease. We have identified an interaction between peripheral gd T cells and a population of activated, pro-inflammatory macrophages elicited by infection that occurs late in the course of infection during or after pathogen clearance. As a result of this interaction, activated gd T cells acquire cytotoxic activity and kill the stimulatory macrophages, leading us to propose a model for gd T‐cell–macrophage interactions that contributes to macrophage homeostasis, the resolution of inflammatory immune responses, and prevention of chronic inflammatory disease. 相似文献
