霉酚酸酯对未成熟树突状细胞抗原递呈功能的影响

目的研究霉酚酸酯(MMF)在体外对小鼠未成熟树突状细胞抗原递呈功能的影响。方法在骨髓来源未成熟树突状细胞的培养过程中加入MMF，表型鉴定之后，做抗原递呈功能分析，观察抗原特异性增殖反应、混合淋巴细胞反应以及T淋巴细胞抗原特异性低反应性。结果以MMF处理的未成熟树突状细胞向T淋巴细胞递呈可溶性抗原的能力减弱，在同基因型的树突状细胞和T淋巴细胞接触条件下不能刺激致敏T淋巴细胞的有效增殖；MMF处理的树突状细胞在体外的同种混合淋巴细胞培养反应中能够维持树突状细胞于未成熟状态，不能充分活化CD4^ T淋巴细胞和诱发TH1反应，诱导了T淋巴细胞对同种抗原的低反应性；MMF处理的树突状细胞诱导的T淋巴细胞低反应性具有同种抗原特异性。结论在体外培养过程中给予MMF干预能够降低未成熟树突状细胞的抗原递呈能力，增强同种未成熟树突状细胞的免疫耐受诱导作用。

Influences of MMF on the presentation functions of in vitro cultured dendritic cells

Objective To explore the influence of MMF on the presentation functions of in vitro cultured dendritic cells.Methods Bone marrow-derived dendritic cell progenitors from BalB/c mice were treated with MMF or without. The antigen-presenting capacities, antigen specific proliferation reaction, mixed lymphocyte reaction and antigen-specific hyporesponsiveness of T-cells were analyzed to investigate the influences of MMF on the presentation functions of dendritic cells.Results Treatment with MMF reduced the soluble antigen presenting capacities of DCs to T cells. The proliferation of syngeneic T cells co-cultured with MMF-DC was significantly depressed, and displayed a comparatively low level of MLR-sti- mulatory activity. The levels of T helper cells derived cytokines were depressed, too.Conclusion MMF has a suppressive influences on the antigen-presenting functions of in vitro cultured dendritic cells and promotes the tolerance-induction effect of DCp.
