The causal agent, PRRS-virus(PRRSV), is able to evade the host immune response and survive in the organism causing transient infections. Despite all scientific efforts, there are still some gaps in the knowledge of the pathogenesis of this disease. Antigen presenting cells(APCs), as initiators of the immune response, are located in the first line of defense against microorganisms, and are responsible for antigen recognition, processing and presentation. Dendritic cells(DCs) are the main type of APC involved in antigen presentation and they are susceptible to PRRSV infection. Thus, PRRSV replication in DCs may trigger off different mechanisms to impair the onset of a host effective immune response against the virus. On the one side, PRRSV may impair the basic functions of DCs by regulating the expression of major histocompatibility complex class Ⅱ and CD80/86. Other strategy followed by the virus is the induction of cell death of APCs by apoptosis, necrosis or both of them. The impairment and/or cell death ofAPCs could lead to a failure in the onset of an efficient immune response, as long as cells could not properly activate T cells. Future aspects to take into account are also discussed in this review.展开更多

Among them human leukocyte antigen(HLA) locus plays a key role at different levels. In fact, genes of the HLA locus have shown the peculiar capability to modulate both innate and adaptive immune responses. In particular, HLA class Ⅰmolecules are recognized by CD8+ T-cells and natural killers(NK) cells towards the interaction with T cell receptor(TCR) and Killer Immunoglobulin Receptor(KIR) 3DL1 respectively. Polymorphisms within the different HLA alleles generate structural changes in HLA classⅠpeptide-binding pockets. Amino acid changes in the peptide-binding pocket lead to the presentation of a different set of peptides to T and NK cells. This review summarizes the role of HLA in HIV progression toward acquired immunodeficiency disease syndrome and its receptors. Recently, many studies have been focused on determining the HLA binding-peptides. The novel use of immune-informatics tools, from the prediction of the HLA-bound peptides to the modification of the HLAreceptor complexes, is considered. A better knowledge of HLA peptide presentation and recognition are allowing new strategies for immune response manipulation to be applied against HIV virus.展开更多

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.展开更多

The expression library allowed recombinant proteins made in bacteria to be captured by macrophages for presentation to T cells restricted to major histompatibility complex class n. A conserved 36-kilodalton member of the tryptophanaspartic acid repeat family of proteins was identified that was expressed in both stages of the parasite life cycle. A 24-kilodalton portion of this antigen protected susceptible mice when administered as a vaccine with interleukin-12before injection.展开更多

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.展开更多

METHODS: Urothelium-ovalbumin (URO-OVA)/OT-II 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 specifc 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 infammation. To facilitate Treg cell analysis, we further developed URO-OVA^GFP-Foxp3/OT-II mice, a derived line of URO-OVA/OT-II mice that express the green fuorescent protein (GFP)-forkhead box protein P3 (Foxp3) fusion protein. RESULTS: URO-OVA/OT-II mice failed to develop bladder infammation despite the presence of autoreactive CD4^+ T cells. By monitoring GFP-positive cells, bladder infltration of CD4^+ Treg cells was observed in URO-OVA^GFP-Foxp3/OT-II mice. The infiltrating Treg cells were functionally active and expressed Treg cell effector molecule as well as marker mRNAs including transforming growth factor-β, interleukin (IL)-10, fibrinogen-like protein 2, and glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor (GITR). Studies further revealed that Treg cells from URO-OVA^GFP-Foxp3/OT-II mice were suppressive and inhibited autoreactive CD4^+ T cell proliferation and interferon (IFN)-g production in response to OVA Ag stimulation. Depletion of GITR-positive cells led to spontaneous development of bladder infammation and expression of inflammatory factor mRNAs for IFN-γ, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α and nerve growth factor in URO-OVA^GFP-Foxp3/OT-II mice. CONCLUSION: Treg cells specifc for bladder epithelial Ag play an important role in immunological homeostasis and the control of CD4^+ T cell-mediated bladder autoimmune infammation.展开更多

This shar...Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell(CAR T) therapy is a kind of effective cancer immunotherapy. However,designing CARs remains a challenge because many targetable antigens are shared by T cells and tumor cells. This shared expression of antigens can cause CAR T cell fratricide. CD38-targeting approaches(e.g.,daratumumab) have been used in clinical therapy and have shown promising results. CD38 is a kind of surface glycoprotein present in a variety of cells, such as T lymphocytes and tumor cells. It was previously reported that CD38-based CAR T cells may undergo apoptosis or T cell-mediated killing(fratricide) during cell manufacturing. In this study, a CAR containing a sequence targeting human CD38 was designed to be functional. To avoid fratricide driven by CD38 and ensure the production of CAR T cells, two distinct strategies based on antibodies(clone MM12 T or clone MM27) or proteins(H02 H or H08 H) were used to block CD38 or the CAR single-chain variable fragment(scFv) domain, respectively, on the T cell surface.The results indicated that the antibodies or proteins, especially the antibody MM27, could affect CAR T cells by inhibiting fratricide while promoting expansion and enrichment. Anti-CD38 CAR T cells exhibited robust and specific cytotoxicity to CD38+ cell lines and tumor cells. Furthermore, the levels of the proinflammatory factors TNF-a, IFN-g and IL-2 were significantly upregulated in the supernatants of A549CD38+ cells. Finally, significant control of disease progression was demonstrated in xenograft mouse models. In conclusion, these findings will help to further enhance the expansion, persistence and function of anti-CD38 CAR T cells in subsequent clinical trials.展开更多

However, it is known that high immune activation leads to more rapid progression to AIDS. We hypothesize that CD4^+ T cell-mediated viral antigen presentation contributes to this pathologic immune activation in HIV-infected individuals. Methods HIV-specific T cells, responding to noninfectious HIV-1 virions as antigen, were measured by flow cytometric assays. These experimental conditions reflect the in vivo condition where noninfectious HIV-1 represents more than 99% of the antigens. Results CD4^+ T cells purified from HIV-infected individuals were capable of cross presenting exogenous noninfectious HIV-1 virions to HIV-1-specific CD8^+ T cells. Cross presentation required the entry of HIV-1 to CD4^+ T cells and antigen translocation from endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex. Blocking CD4^+ mediated activation of HIV-specific CD8^+ T cells and redirecting the viral antigens to antigen presenting cells improved HIV-specific T cell responses. Contusions One possible cause of chronic immune activation and impairment of HIV-1 specific T cell responses is represented by HIV-1 harboring CD4^+ T cells cross presenting HIV-1 antigen to activate CD8^+ T cells. This new mechanism provides the first evidence that cross presentation of noninfectious HIV-1 virions play a role in the immunopathogenesis of HIV-1 infection.展开更多

Atorvastatin has anti-atherosclerosis as well as lowering blood lipid. Thus, we investigate the effect of atorvastatin on expression of CD36 and uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL) during the formation of macrophage-derived foam cells human U937 cell line. Methods U937 cells were incubated with ox-LDL 80 mg / L to induce their transformation into foam cells. The medium was pretreated with atorvastatin 10 nmol / L. The contents of total cholesterol(TC) and cholesterol ester(CE) in cells were measured by the enzymatic fluorometric method. CD36 protein and mRNA expression levels were measured by flow cytometry and reverse transcription PCR. Results After incubated with ox-LDL, the contents of TC and CE in U937 cells increased from 302 mg / g cell protein and87 mg / g cell protein to 469 mg / g cell protein and 226 mg / g cell protein respectively. CD36 protein and mRNA expression appeared. Incubated together with atorvastatin and ox-LDL, the contents of TC and CE decreased from 469 mg / g cell protein and 226 mg / g cell protein to 378 mg / g cell protein and 119 mg / g cell protein, the levels of CD36 protein and mRNA also decreased respectively from 25.8% and 1.27 to 17.2% and0.95 compared with being incubated only with ox-LDL. Conclusion Atorvastatin could inhibit the expression of CD36 protein and mRNA in U937 cells and decrease lipid deposition, which is the important mechanism of anti-atherosclerosis as well as lowering blood lipid.展开更多

文摘AIM:To investigate the anti-inflammatory effects of cinnamon extract and elucidate its mechanisms for targeting the function of antigen presenting cells.METHODS:Cinnamon extract was used to treat murine macrophage cell line(Raw 264.7),mouse primary antigen-presenting cells(APCs,MHCII+) and CD11c+dendritic cells to analyze the effects of cinnamon extract on APC function.The mechanisms of action of cinnamon extract on APCs were investigated by analyzing cytokine production,and expression of MHC antigens and co-stimulatory molecules by quantitative real-time PCR and flow cytometry.In addition,the effect of cinnamon extract on antigen presentation capacity and APC-dependent T-cell differentiation were analyzed by [H3]-thymidine incorporation and cytokine analysis,respectively.To confirm the anti-inflammatory effects of cinnamon extract in vivo,cinnamon or PBS was orally administered to mice for 20 d followed by induction of experimental colitis with 2,4,6 trinitrobenzenesulfonic acid.The protective effects of cinnamon extract against experimental colitis were measured by checking clinical symptoms,histological analysis and cytokine expression prof iles in inflamed tissue.RESULTS:Treatment with cinnamon extract inhibited maturation of MHCII+ APCs or CD11c+ dendritic cells(DCs) by suppressing expression of co-stimulatory molecules(B7.1,B7.2,ICOS-L),MHCII and cyclooxygenase(COX)-2.Cinnamon extract induced regulatory DCs(rDCs) that produce low levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines [interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6,IL-12,interferon(IFN)-γ and tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-α] while expressing high levels of immunoregulatory cytokines(IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β).In addition,rDCs generated by cinnamon extract inhibited APC-dependent T-cell proliferation,and converted CD4+ T cells into IL-10high CD4+ T cells.Furthermore,oral administration of cinnamon extract inhibited development and progression of intestinal colitis by inhibiting expression of COX-2 and pro-inflammatory cytokines(IL-1β,IFN-γ and TNF-α),while enhancing IL-10 levels.CONCLUSION:Our study suggests the potential of cinnamon extract as an anti-inflammatory agent by targeting the generation of regulatory APCs and IL-10+ regulatory T cells.

文摘Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) and circular dichroism(CD) were used to investigate the conformational changes of heated whey protein(WP) and the corresponding changes in the hydrolysates immunoreactivity were determined by competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results showed that the contents of α-helix and β-sheet of WP did not decrease much under mild heating conditions and the antigenicity was relatively high;when the heating intensity increased(70 ℃ for 25 min or 75 ℃ for 20 min),the content of α-helix and β-sheet decreased to the minimum,so was the antigenicity;However,when the WP was heated at even higher temperature and for a longer time,the β-sheet associated with protein aggregation begun to increase and the antigenicity increased correspondingly.It was concluded that the conformations of heated WP and the antigenicity of its hydrolysates are related and the optimum structure for decreasing the hydrolysates antigeniity is the least content of α-helix and β-sheet.Establishing the relationship between the WP secondary structure and WP hydrolysates antigenicity is significant to supply the reference for antigenicity reduction by enzymolysis.
文摘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.
文摘Parasite-specific CD8+ T cells have been shown to transfer protection against nLeishmania major in susceptible BALB/c mice.An epitope-tagged expression library was used to identify the antigen recognized by a protective CD8+ T cells clone. The expression library allowed recombinant proteins made in bacteria to be captured by macrophages for presentation to T cells restricted to major histompatibility complex class n. A conserved 36-kilodalton member of the tryptophanaspartic acid repeat family of proteins was identified that was expressed in both stages of the parasite life cycle. A 24-kilodalton portion of this antigen protected susceptible mice when administered as a vaccine with interleukin-12before injection.
文摘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.

文摘AIM: To investigate the role of regulatory T (Treg) cells in CD4^+ T cell-mediated bladder autoimmune infammation. METHODS: Urothelium-ovalbumin (URO-OVA)/OT-II 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 specifc 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 infammation. To facilitate Treg cell analysis, we further developed URO-OVA^GFP-Foxp3/OT-II mice, a derived line of URO-OVA/OT-II mice that express the green fuorescent protein (GFP)-forkhead box protein P3 (Foxp3) fusion protein. RESULTS: URO-OVA/OT-II mice failed to develop bladder infammation despite the presence of autoreactive CD4^+ T cells. By monitoring GFP-positive cells, bladder infltration of CD4^+ Treg cells was observed in URO-OVA^GFP-Foxp3/OT-II mice. The infiltrating Treg cells were functionally active and expressed Treg cell effector molecule as well as marker mRNAs including transforming growth factor-β, interleukin (IL)-10, fibrinogen-like protein 2, and glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor (GITR). Studies further revealed that Treg cells from URO-OVA^GFP-Foxp3/OT-II mice were suppressive and inhibited autoreactive CD4^+ T cell proliferation and interferon (IFN)-g production in response to OVA Ag stimulation. Depletion of GITR-positive cells led to spontaneous development of bladder infammation and expression of inflammatory factor mRNAs for IFN-γ, IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α and nerve growth factor in URO-OVA^GFP-Foxp3/OT-II mice. CONCLUSION: Treg cells specifc for bladder epithelial Ag play an important role in immunological homeostasis and the control of CD4^+ T cell-mediated bladder autoimmune infammation.

文摘Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell(CAR T) therapy is a kind of effective cancer immunotherapy. However,designing CARs remains a challenge because many targetable antigens are shared by T cells and tumor cells. This shared expression of antigens can cause CAR T cell fratricide. CD38-targeting approaches(e.g.,daratumumab) have been used in clinical therapy and have shown promising results. CD38 is a kind of surface glycoprotein present in a variety of cells, such as T lymphocytes and tumor cells. It was previously reported that CD38-based CAR T cells may undergo apoptosis or T cell-mediated killing(fratricide) during cell manufacturing. In this study, a CAR containing a sequence targeting human CD38 was designed to be functional. To avoid fratricide driven by CD38 and ensure the production of CAR T cells, two distinct strategies based on antibodies(clone MM12 T or clone MM27) or proteins(H02 H or H08 H) were used to block CD38 or the CAR single-chain variable fragment(scFv) domain, respectively, on the T cell surface.The results indicated that the antibodies or proteins, especially the antibody MM27, could affect CAR T cells by inhibiting fratricide while promoting expansion and enrichment. Anti-CD38 CAR T cells exhibited robust and specific cytotoxicity to CD38+ cell lines and tumor cells. Furthermore, the levels of the proinflammatory factors TNF-a, IFN-g and IL-2 were significantly upregulated in the supernatants of A549CD38+ cells. Finally, significant control of disease progression was demonstrated in xenograft mouse models. In conclusion, these findings will help to further enhance the expansion, persistence and function of anti-CD38 CAR T cells in subsequent clinical trials.

文摘Background The mechanism of chronic immune activation and impairment of HIV-specific immune responses during chronic infection is not fully understood. However, it is known that high immune activation leads to more rapid progression to AIDS. We hypothesize that CD4^+ T cell-mediated viral antigen presentation contributes to this pathologic immune activation in HIV-infected individuals. Methods HIV-specific T cells, responding to noninfectious HIV-1 virions as antigen, were measured by flow cytometric assays. These experimental conditions reflect the in vivo condition where noninfectious HIV-1 represents more than 99% of the antigens. Results CD4^+ T cells purified from HIV-infected individuals were capable of cross presenting exogenous noninfectious HIV-1 virions to HIV-1-specific CD8^+ T cells. Cross presentation required the entry of HIV-1 to CD4^+ T cells and antigen translocation from endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi complex. Blocking CD4^+ mediated activation of HIV-specific CD8^+ T cells and redirecting the viral antigens to antigen presenting cells improved HIV-specific T cell responses. Contusions One possible cause of chronic immune activation and impairment of HIV-1 specific T cell responses is represented by HIV-1 harboring CD4^+ T cells cross presenting HIV-1 antigen to activate CD8^+ T cells. This new mechanism provides the first evidence that cross presentation of noninfectious HIV-1 virions play a role in the immunopathogenesis of HIV-1 infection.
文摘Aim:Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody is a cornerstone therapy for follicular lymphoma.Following anti-CD20 therapy,a potential decrease in CD20 antigen,and therefore a loss of the tumor target might be expected.However,the incidence and clinical significance of CD20 loss on tumor cells in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma are unknown.This study aims to investigate the incidence and outcome of patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma patients harboring the loss of the tumor target,CD20.Methods:All consecutive adult patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma referred to the Early Drug Department at Gustave Roussy were included.The main objectives were to assess the incidence and prognosis of the loss in expression of CD20 antigen on the surface of tumor cells on patient outcome.Results:Over the study period 2013-2018,131 patients were screened for clinical trials with B-cell malignancies in the early drug department of Gustave Roussy in France.Forty-four patients presented with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma and 32 had tumor biopsies at the time of relapse that were retained for analysis.The median(range)age was 67.5 years(55.3-75.3)and the median number of prior anti-cancer systemic therapies was 3(2-4).At the time of relapse,CD20 expression was positive in 84%of tumors(n=27)and negative in 16%of tumors(n=5).At a median follow-up of 18.3(0.6-83.3)months,CD20 negativity was associated with a poorer prognosis with a median overall survival of 8.9 months(95%CI:2.4-19.1)in comparison to CD20 positive patients(28.3 months,95%CI:25.1-75.3 months,P=0.019).Conclusion:The loss of the tumor target antigen,CD20,occurred in 16%of patients with relapse or refractory follicular lymphoma.Due to confounding factors in patients who received anti-CD20 immunotherapy,it was not possible to formally establish the prognostic significance of CD20 negativity.However,we suggest that a check for CD20 antigen positivity nevertheless be performed to adapt subsequent therapies for patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma.

文摘It has been reported that the ratio of CD41 to CD81 T cells has no bias in a few class I major histocompatibility complex(MHC-I)-restricted T-cell receptor(TCR)-transgenic mice specific for alloantigens or autoantigens,in which most CD41 T cells express an MHC-I-restricted TCR.In this study,we further showed that more than 50%of CD41 T cells in MHC-I-restricted P1A tumor antigen-specific TCR(P1ATCR)-transgenic mice could specifically bind to MHC-I/P1A peptide complex.P1A peptide could stimulate the transgenic CD41 T cells to proliferate and secrete both type 1 helper T cell and type 2 helper T cell cytokines.The activated CD41 T cells also showed cytotoxicity against P1A-expressing tumor cells.The analysis of TCR a-chains showed that these CD41 T cells were selected by co-expressing endogenous TCRs.Our results show that CD41 T cells from P1ATCR transgenic mice co-expressed an MHC-I-restricted transgenic TCR and another rearranged endogenous TCRs,both of which were functional.

文摘Background The expression degree of CD36 in monocytes-macrophages is one of the important factors affecting lipid accumulation and foam cell transformation. Atorvastatin has anti-atherosclerosis as well as lowering blood lipid. Thus, we investigate the effect of atorvastatin on expression of CD36 and uptake of oxidized low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL) during the formation of macrophage-derived foam cells human U937 cell line. Methods U937 cells were incubated with ox-LDL 80 mg / L to induce their transformation into foam cells. The medium was pretreated with atorvastatin 10 nmol / L. The contents of total cholesterol(TC) and cholesterol ester(CE) in cells were measured by the enzymatic fluorometric method. CD36 protein and mRNA expression levels were measured by flow cytometry and reverse transcription PCR. Results After incubated with ox-LDL, the contents of TC and CE in U937 cells increased from 302 mg / g cell protein and87 mg / g cell protein to 469 mg / g cell protein and 226 mg / g cell protein respectively. CD36 protein and mRNA expression appeared. Incubated together with atorvastatin and ox-LDL, the contents of TC and CE decreased from 469 mg / g cell protein and 226 mg / g cell protein to 378 mg / g cell protein and 119 mg / g cell protein, the levels of CD36 protein and mRNA also decreased respectively from 25.8% and 1.27 to 17.2% and0.95 compared with being incubated only with ox-LDL. Conclusion Atorvastatin could inhibit the expression of CD36 protein and mRNA in U937 cells and decrease lipid deposition, which is the important mechanism of anti-atherosclerosis as well as lowering blood lipid.
