چکیده

A growing number of diseases in humans, including trauma, certain cancers, and infection, are known to be associated with l-arginine deficiency. In addition, l-arginine must be supplemented by diet during pregnancy to aid fetal development. In conditions of l-arginine depletion, T cell proliferation is impaired. We have previously shown that neonatal blood has lower l-arginine levels than adult blood, which is associated with poor neonatal lymphocyte proliferation, and that l-arginine enhances neonatal lymphocyte proliferation through an interleukin (IL)-2-independent pathway. In this study, we have further investigated how exogenous l-arginine enhances neonatal regulatory T-cells (Tregs) function in relation to IL-10 production under epigenetic regulation. Results showed that cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMCs) produced higher levels of IL-10 than adult peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) by phytohemagglutinin stimulation but not by anti-CD3/anti-CD28 stimulation. Addition of exogenous l-arginine had no effect on transforming growth factor-β production by PBMCs or CBMCs, but enhanced IL-10 production by neonatal CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Tregs. Further studies showed that IL-10 promoter DNA hypomethylation, rather than histone modification, corresponded to the l-arginine-induced increase in IL-10 production by neonatal CD4+ T cells. These results suggest that l-arginine modulates neonatal Tregs through the regulation of IL-10 promoter DNA methylation. l-arginine supplementation may correct the Treg function in newborns with l-arginine deficiency.

Maternal Serum Levels of Transforming Growth Factor ß1 (TGF-ß1) in Normal and Preeclamptic Pregnancies

Background: Successful pregnancy in allopregnant women depends upon the control of graft rejection mechanisms. It has been suggested that some immunosuppressive cytokines contribute to successful pregnancy and transplantation. Transforming growth factor beta (TGF-   β) exhibits potent immunoregulatory and anti-inflammatory properties which might prolong graft survival. Recent studies suggest a ...

Effect of Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) on proliferation of gastric epithelial cells in culture

Objective: Helicobacter pylori has a well-established role in the development of gastric cancer. In vitro studies reveal increased proliferation of the gastric mucosa in the presence of H. pylori infection. It has been also shown that production of some cytokines, such as interleukin-1 beta (IL-1b) is in...

Retinoic acid generates regulatory T cells in experimental transplantation.

Regulatory T cells play a key role to inhibit effector lymphocytes, avoid, autoimmunity, and restrain allogeneic immunity. Retinoic acid is an important cofactor that stimulates the generation and expansion of regulatory T cells. Naive T cells, coincubated with allogeneic antigen-presenting cells and retinoic acid, in conjunction with transforming growth factor (TGF) β and interleukin (IL) 2, g...

Low levels of transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) and reduced suppression of Th2-mediated inflammation in hyperreactive human onchocerciasis

Th2-biased inflammation with eosinophilia and IgE production is a hallmark of helminth infections. It is pronounced in hyperreactive onchocerciasis patients ('sowda' or 'local form'), who efficiently kill microfilariae resulting in severe dermatitis and lymphadenitis. In contrast, hyporeactive patients ('generalised form') tolerate high microfilarial loads. This is thought to be mediated by reg...

Alteration in Toll-like Receptors Activation During Trichinella spiralis Infection

The chronic nature of T. spiralis infection in the muscles indicates that this parasite could subvert the host immune system through different mechanisms including induction of regulatory T and B cells and alternatively activated macrophages and production of anti-inflammatory cytokines e.g. interleukin [IL]10 and transforming growth factor [TGF]β [2]. One more important mechanism is by interfe...
