Detection of microbial antigenic components of circulating immune complexes in HIV patients:Involvement in CD4^+ T lymphocyte count depletion

Objective:To investigate the prevalence of microbial antigenic components of circulating immune complexes amongst grades of CD4 T lymphocyte counts in HIV sero positive and seronegative participants.Methods:Polyethelene glycol(PEG-600) and buffering methods of precipitation and dissociation of immune complexes was used to generate immune solution from sera of 100 HIV sero-positive and 100 HIV sero-negative participants.These were categorized into 3 grades based on CD4 count:】 500 cell/mm,200-499 cell/mm3 and 【200 cell/mm3.The immune solutions were assayed using membrane based immunoassay and antibody titration, along side its unprocessed serum for detection of various microbial antigens and or antibodies. CD4 T cell counts were estimated using Patec Cyflow SL-3 Germany.Results:Antigenic component of immune complexes of various infectious agents was detected in 99 and 70 HIV seropositive and HIV sero-negative participants,respectively.In group A,there were 10 HIV positive participants,including 4(40.0%) had circulating immune complexes(CICs) due to Salmonella species only:1(10.0%) due to Salmonella-Plasmodium falciparum(P.falciparum),SalmonellaP. falciparum-HCV and P.falciparum antigens,respectively.In group B,45(45.4%) HIV seropositive participants with CICs had CD4 T lymphocyte count between 200-499 cells/mm^3.Out of these,20(44.4%) had CICs due to Salmonella species only:9(20%) due to Salmonella-P. falciparum.In group C,there were 44(44.4%) HIV sero-positive participants,including 3(6.8%) due to Salmonella species only:24(54.4%) due to Salmonella-P.falciparum:2(4.5%) due to P. falciparum only.Conclusions:In HIV sero-positive participants,presence of heterogeneity of Salmonella species-P.falciparum antigens was highly incriminated in CD4 count depletion but not homogeneity of malaria parasites antigens.Malaria parasites antigens only were incriminated in CD4^+ count depletion amongst HIV sero-negative participants.Before taking any decision on the management of HIV-1-positive individuals,their malaria and Salmonella paratyphi status should be assessed,but not malaria status alone.

Rejection of Experimental Hodgkins Lymphoma by T-Cells Engineered with a CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor

T cells engineered to express chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) combining an external antibody binding domain with the CD3ζ T cell receptor (TCR) signaling domain for triggering cell activation are being used for immunotherapeutic targeting of tumor cells in a non-HLA restricted manner. In this study we transduced T cells with a CD19-CAR construct containing a truncated CD34 gene (tCD34) marker and used these to target the B cell antigen CD19 on the surface of a Hodgkin’s lymphoma (HL) cell line (L591) both in vitro and in vivo. Levels of tCD34 expression in transduced peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) ranged from 6% - 20% and this was increased to 82% after selection for transduced tCD34+ cells. In vitro cytotoxicity testing on a CD19+ HL cell line (L591) showed specific cell lysis initiated by the CD19-CAR transduced PBMCs. Importantly, CD19-CAR T cells prevented the growth of L591 HL tumor cells when co-injected subcutaneously (sc) in 6/6 severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice. There was no evidence of anti-tumor activity when CD19-CAR T cells were infused intravenously (iv) at the same time as L591 HL tumor cells were injected sc. However, 3/6 SCID mice showed tumor rejection within 83 days after iv infusion of CD19-CAR T cells 3 - 9 days after establishment of L591 HL tumors, while all control animals succumbed to tumors within 60 days. Interestingly, immuno-histochemical analysis of L591 HL tumors demonstrated that CD19-CAR T cells were detected not earlier than 11 days after infusion within the tumor mass. These results suggest that CD19 is a potentially attractive target for the immunotherapy of HL.

Regulatory T cells suppress autoreactive CD4^+ T cell response to bladder epithelial antigen

AIM: To investigate the role of regulatory T(Treg) cells in CD4+ T cell-mediated bladder autoimmune inflammation.METHODS: Urothelium-ovalbumin(URO-OVA)/OTII mice, a double transgenic line that expresses the membrane form of the model antigen(Ag) OVA as a self-Ag on the urothelium and the OVA-specific CD4+ T cell receptor specific for the I-Ab/OVA323-339 epitope in the periphery, were developed to provide an autoimmune environment for investigation of the role of Treg cells in bladder autoimmune inflammation. To facilitate Treg cell analysis, we further developed URO-OVAGFP-Foxp3/OT-II mice, a derived line of URO-OVA/OT-II mice that express the green fluorescent protein(GFP)-forkhead box protein P3(Foxp3) fusion protein. RESULTS: URO-OVA/OT-II mice failed to develop bladder inflammation despite the presence of autoreactive CD4+ T cells. By monitoring GFP-positive cells, bladder infiltration of CD4+ Treg cells was observed in URO-OVAGFP-Foxp3/OTII mice. The infiltrating Treg cells were functionally active and expressed Treg cell effector molecule as well as marker m RNAs including transforming growth factor-b, interleukin(IL)-10, fibrinogen-like protein 2, and glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor(GITR). Studies further revealed that Treg cells from URO-OVAGFP-Foxp3/OT-II mice were suppressive and inhibited autoreactive CD4+ T cell proliferationand interferon(IFN)-g production in response to OVA Ag stimulation. Depletion of GITR-positive cells led to spontaneous development of bladder inflammation and expression of inflammatory factor m RNAs for IFN-g, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-a and nerve growth factor in URO-OVAGFP-Foxp3/OT-II mice. CONCLUSION: Treg cells specific for bladder epithelial Ag play an important role in immunological homeostasis and the control of CD4+ T cell-mediated bladder autoimmune inflammation.

B－CELL APOPTOSIS INDUCED BY ANTIGEN RECEPTOR CROSSLINKING IS BLOCKED BY A T－CELL SIGNAL THROUGH CD40

in mice transgenic for an autoantibody,self-reactive B cells have been shown to be eliminated upon interaction with membranebound self-antigens in the periphery as well as in the bone marrow, suggesting that both immature and mature B cells are eliminated by multimerization of surface immunoglobulins(0Ig).Activation B cells by antigens may thus require a second signal that inhibits sIg-mediated apoptosis.Such a second signal is likely to be provided by T helper cells,because B-cell tolerance is more easily induced in the absence of T helper cells.To assess the molecular nature of the signal that inhibits sIg-mediated apoptosis,we used anti-IgM--induced apoptotic death of WEHI-231B lymphoma cells as a model system.Here we report that the signal for abrogating sIg-mediated apoptosis is generated by association of the CD401 molecule on T-cells with the CD40molecule on WEHI-231 cells.T-cells help through CD50 may thus determine whether B cells are eliminated or activated upon interaction with antigens.

Functional expression of CD95/Fas Antigen and Bcl-2 on Cord bloodHematopoietic Progenitor Cell

The cell surface expression and functional status of the CD95/Fas antigen on primitive hematopoietic progenitors isolated from human cord blood (CB) were studied. The CD34 + cells freshly isolated from CB displayed low CD95 expression. The combinations of cytokines such as SCF+FL could up regulate the expression of CD95 in vitro culture and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF α) and interon γ (IFN γ) further increased the CD95 expression induced by positive cytokines. The functional status of CD95 mediated apoptosis were analyzed by incubation of CD34 +CB cells in the presence of anti CD95 monoclonal antibodies (McAbs). The effects of anti CD95 McAbs were measured by viable cell counting, flow cytometry, LTIC and CFU C assays. A decrease of viable cells, CFU C and LTIC numbers were observed in the presence of anti CD95 McAbs and TNF α or IFN γ. However, growth factor deprivation or the early acting cytokine such as SCF and FL cross linking to CD95 caused low apoptosis of CD34 + cells. The correlation of increased intracytoplasmic levels of bcl 2 and the presence of CD95 on fresh CB CD34 + cells suggested that bcl 2 might be involved in protecting against CD95 mediated apoptosis of CB CD34 + cells.

Expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen and CD44 variant exon 6 in primary tumors and corresponding lymph node metastases of colorectal carcinoma with Dukes'stage C or D

AIM: To study changes in characteristics of colorectal carcinoma during the metastatic process and to investigate the correlation between cell proliferation activity and metastatic ability of patients with Dukes′ stage C or D.METHODS: Formalin fixed and paraffin embedded materials of primary tumors and corresponding lymph node metastases resected from 56 patients with Dukes′ stage C or D of colorectal carcinoma were stained immunohistochemically with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and CD44variant exon 6 (CD44v6).RESULTS: Thirty-one of 56 patients (55.4 %) expressed PCNA in the primary sites and 36 of 56 patients (64.3 %)expressed PCNA in the metastatic lymph nodes. A significant relation in PCNA expression was observed between the primary site and the metastatic lymph node (0.010＜P＜0.025).Forty-one of 56 patients (73.2 %) expressed CD44v6 in the primary site and 39 of 56 patients (69.6 %) expressed CD44v6 in the metastatic lymph node. There was also an significant relationship of CD44v6 between the primary site and the metastatic lymph node (0.005＜P＜0.010). No difference was observed between expression of CD44v6 and PCNA in the primary site (0.250＜P＜0.500).CONCLUSION: This study partially demonstrates that tumor cells in metastatic lymph node of colorectal carcinoma still possess cell proliferation activity and metastatic ability of tumor cells in primary site. There may be no association between cell proliferation activity and metastatic ability in colorectal carcinoma.

Human CD4- CD8- Invariant Natural Killer T Cells Promote IgG Secretion from B Cells Stimulated by Cross-Linking of Their Antigen Receptors

Immunoglobulin (Ig) M production can be induced by the interaction of thymus-independent type-2 (TI-2) antigen (Ag) with B cell Ag receptors (BCRs) without the involvement of conventional T cells;for IgG production through the same process, however, a second signal is required. Previous studies have reported that invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells may be responsible for the second signal involved in IgG production. In the present study, we addressed whether human iNKT cells could participate in the production of Ig against TI-2 Ag in vitro. Two major distinct subsets of human iNKT cells, CD4+ CD8β- (CD4) and CD4- CD8β- [double negative (DN)] cells, were generated from peripheral blood monocytes from a healthy volunteer. BCR engagement, triggered by anti-IgM antibody stimulation, examined here as a model of BCR engagement triggered by TI-2 Ag, induced abundant IgM production by B cells. Both CD4 and DN iNKT cells reduced IgM production and conversely enhanced IgG production in a dose-dependent manner. In addition, IgG production by CD19+CD27- (naïve) and CD19+CD27+ (memory) B cells was predominantly promoted by DNiNKT cells rather than CD4 iNKT cells;nevertheless, IgM production by both B cell subsets was similarly reduced by either subset of iNKT cells. These results suggest that the DN iNKT subsets may preferentially promote Ig class switching by B cells upon stimulation with TI-2 Ag.

Separation of CD34 Positive Cells and Determination of Surface Homing Antigen

To study the differences in homing potential between bone marrow cells and umbilical blood cells, CD34 positive cells were obtained from bone marrow (BM) and umbilical blood (UB) by the direct cell separation with domestic immunomagnetic beads. The expression of the two adhesion molecules CD11a/CD18 and CD44 were examined. After separation, CD34 positive cells accounted for 51 %-82 % of the harvested cells and dye-resistance rate was 82 %-88 %. The expression of CD11a/CD18 and CD44 on the surfaces of UB cells was 49. 6 % 1 10. 2 % and 37. 7 % ± 10. 3 % respectively. On BM cells they were 50. 2 % ± 6. 2 % and 34 % ± 13. 3 % respectively. There were no significant differences in the expression of these two molecules. It was concluded .that the cell separation method with domestic immunomagnetic beads was effective and the stem cells from UB could serve as an alternative source for transplantation.

The Level of CD4⁺T Cell Count among Reproductive Age Women Coinfected with Human Immune Virus, Hepatitis Surface Antigen and Herpes Simplex Virus in Kogi State, Nigeria

Background: There are pockets of evidence to show the existence of co-infections of viral particles in humans. Aim: The study aimed at evaluating the CD4+ T cell count among women of reproductive age co-infected with human immune virus, hepatitis surface antigen and herpes simplex virusin Kogi state, Nigeria. Methodology: 342 females of reproductive age within the ages of 15 - 49 years participated in this study. They were recruited from various local government areas of three Senatorial districts of Kogi state. Blood samples were collected from participants and analyzed for HSV1/HSV2, HIV, HBsAg and CD4 using different scientific methods and procedures. Results: There was no significant differences in mean CD4+ T cell counts between subjects who tested positive and those who tested negative for only HSV1 (p = 0.61), HSV2 (p = 0.95), HIV (p = 0.48) and co-infection for HSV1, HSV2, HIV (0.68). In contrast, mean CD4+ T cell count was significantly higher in those who tested positive compared with those who tested negative for HBsAg alone (p = 0.03) and those co-infected with HSV1, HSV2, HBsAg (p = 0.01). Analysis of variance (ANOVA) indicated no significant differences in CD4+ T cell counts among the different classes of infections. Conclusion: This study shows no decline in the count of CD4+ T cell on the co-infections of HSV1, HSV2 and HIV, but higher significant difference in those co-infected with HSV1, HSV2 and HBsAg was recorded among the women of child bearing age in Kogi state.
