چکیده

Interleukin 10 (IL-10) and regulatory T cells (Tregs) maintain tolerance to intestinal microorganisms. However, Il10(-/-)Rag2(-/-) mice, which lack IL-10 and Tregs, remain healthy, suggesting the existence of other mechanisms of tolerance. Here, we identify suppressor of cytokine signalling 1 (SOCS1) as an essential mediator of immune tolerance in the intestine. Socs1(-/-)Rag2(-/-) mice develop severe colitis, which can be prevented by the reduction of microbiota and the transfer of IL-10-sufficient Tregs. Additionally, we find an essential role for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) in the maintenance of tolerance within the intestine in the absence of Tregs. Socs1(-/-) dendritic cells are resistant to PGE2-mediated immunosuppression because of dysregulated cytokine signalling. Thus, we propose that SOCS1 and PGE2, potentially interacting together, act as an alternative intestinal tolerance mechanism distinct from IL-10 and Tregs.

Prostaglandin E2 in Soluble Factor-Mediated Immune Suppression by First Trimester Decidual Cells

Several studies have shown that decidual tissue produces soluble factors which can mediate a variety of immunosuppressive activities. In order to assess whether prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) was present in supernatants produced by explant culture of 10 human specimens of first trimester decidua. The effect of the supernatants from the two different series (with and without indomethacin treatment) ...

SOCS1 silencing can break high-dose dendritic cell immunotherapy-induced immune tolerance.

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a pivotal role in T cell-mediated immunity and have been shown to induce strong anti-tumor immune responses. As of yet, only a limited number of objective tumor regressions have been observed in clinical studies using a DC vaccine. Suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS1) is a key negative regulator of the JAK/STAT signal pathway and plays an essential role in suppr...

Oral tolerance for delayed type hypersensitivity contribution of local and peripheral mechanisms

Oral tolerance is a physiological immune mechanism, which controls the outcome of deleterious hypersensitivity reactions to environmental antigens absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract, and maintains homeostasis. Using a mouse model of oral tolerance of delayed type hypersensitivity to contact allergens, i.e. haptens, we have examined the mechanisms involved in the induction of oral toler...

Immunological tolerance in a mouse model of immune-mediated liver injury induced by 16,16 dimethyl PGE2 and PGE2-containing nanoscale hydrogels.

Although immunosuppressive agents play a pivotal role in the success of organ transplantation, chronic toxicity has been a major issue for long-term treatment. The development of therapies that induce donor-specific immunological tolerance remains an important clinical challenge. In the present study, we investigated the underlying mechanisms and applications of prostaglandin (PG) E2 for the in...

Spontaneous and continuous cyclooxygenase-2-dependent prostaglandin E2 production by stromal cells in the murine small intestine lamina propria: directing the tone of the intestinal immune response.

The mechanisms allowing the gastrointestinal immune system to avoid an inappropriate inflammatory response to nonpathogenic luminal Ags are poorly understood. We have previously described a role for cyclooxygenase (COX)-2-dependent arachidonic acid metabolites produced by the murine small intestine lamina propria in controlling the immune response to a dietary Ag. To better understand the role ...
