Fas-mediated inhibition of CD4+ T cell priming results in dominance of type 1 CD8+ T cells in the immune response to the contact sensitizer trinitrophenyl.

چکیده
One of the unusual properties of chemically reactive haptens is their capacity to simultaneously generate immunogenic determinants for hapten-specific CD8(+) and CD4(+) T cells. Surprisingly, however, a clear dominance of CD8(+) effector T cells is observed in murine contact hypersensitivity to various haptens and upon T cell priming with hapten-modified APCs in vitro. In this study we show that trinitrophenyl-specific CD8(+) T cells actively prevent CD4(+) T cell priming in vitro. This process requires cell-cell contact and is dependent on the expression of Fas on the CD4(+) T cells. Our results reveal an important Fas-dependent mechanism for the regulation of hapten-specific CD4(+) T cell responses by CD8(+) T cells, which causes the dominance of CD8(+) effector T cells and the active suppression of a CD4(+) T cell response. Moreover, our demonstration of reduced contact hypersensitivity to trinitrophenyl in the absence of Fas, but not of perforin and/or granzymes A and B, underlines the important role of Fas as a pathogenetic factor for contact hypersensitivity.

CD4+ T cells regulate CD8+ T cell-mediated cutaneous immune responses by restricting effector T cell development through a Fas ligand-dependent mechanism.
The magnitude and duration of CD8(+) T cell-mediated responses in the skin to hapten sensitization and challenge, contact hypersensitivity (CHS), is negatively regulated by CD4(+) T cells through an unknown mechanism. In this study we show that CD4(+) T cells restrict the development and expansion of hapten-specific CD8(+) T cells mediating CHS responses to 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene. In the abse...

Background: CD4+ and CD8+ T cells are the main types of lymphocytes in cell-mediated immunity and play a central role in the induction of efficient immune responses against tumors. The frequencies of T cell subtypes in the peripheral blood and tumor tissues, and draining lymph nodes (dLN) can be considered as useful markers for evaluation of the immune system in cancers. Methods: In this study,...
