Acquisition of Selectin Binding and Peripheral Homing Properties by CD4+ and CD8+ T Cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Different T cell subsets exhibit distinct capacities to migrate into peripheral sites of inflammation, and this may in part reflect differential expression of homing receptors and chemokine receptors. Using an adoptive transfer approach, we examined the ability of functionally distinct subsets of T cells to home to a peripheral inflammatory site. The data directly demonstrate the inability of naive T cells and the ability of effector cells to home to inflamed peritoneum. Furthermore, interleukin (IL)-12 directs the differentiation of either CD4(+) or CD8(+) T cells into effector populations that expresses functional E- and P-selectin ligand and that are preferentially recruited into the inflamed peritoneum compared with T cells differentiated in the presence of IL-4. Recruitment can be blocked by anti-E- and -P-selectin antibodies. The presence of antigen in the peritoneum promotes local proliferation of recruited T cells, and significantly amplifies the Th1 polarization of the lymphocytic infiltrate. Preferential recruitment of Th1 cells into the peritoneum is also seen when cytokine response gene 2 (CRG-2)/interferon gamma-inducible protein 10 (IP-10) is used as the sole inflammatory stimulus. We have also found that P-selectin binds only to antigen-specific T cells in draining lymph nodes after immunization, implying that both antigen- and cytokine-mediated signals are required for expression of functional selectin-ligand.

Comparative Analysis of CD4+ and CD8+ T Cells in Tumor Tissues, Lymph Nodes and the Peripheral Blood from Patients with Breast Cancer
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,...

Numerical status of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ and CD8+CD28- regulatory T cells in multiple sclerosis
Objective(s): Regulatory T cells, including CD4+CD25+Fox3+ and CD8+CD28- cells play an important role in regulating the balance between immunity and tolerance. Since multiple sclerosis is an inflammatory autoimmune disease, regulatory T cells are considered to be involved in its pathogenesis. In this study, we investigated the circulatory numbers of the two mentioned types of regulatory T cells...
متن کاملInnate immune responses to herpes simplex virus type 2 influence skin homing molecule expression by memory CD4+ lymphocytes.
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) infections of humans are characterized by intermittent, lytic replication in epithelia. Circulating HSV-specific CD4 T cells express lower levels of preformed cutaneous lymphocyte-associated antigen (CLA), a skin-homing receptor, than do circulating HSV-specific CD8 T cells but, paradoxically, move into infected skin earlier than CD8 cells. Memory CD4 T cells develop ...
متن کاملRole of L-selectin in the development of autoimmune diabetes in non-obese diabetic mice.
Autoimmune diabetes is characterized by an early mononuclear infiltration of pancreatic islets and later selective autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing beta cells. Lymphocyte homing receptors have been considered candidate targets to prevent autoimmune diabetes. L-selectin (CD62L) is an adhesion molecule highly expressed in naive T and B cells. It has been reported that blocking L-select...
