CD4+CD25+ cells in multiple myeloma related renal impairment.

ABSTRACT: CD4(+)CD25(+) cells are critical regulators in almost all of the animal models of human organ-specific autoimmune diseases, transplant rejection and allergic diseases. We aimed to explore the role of CD4(+)CD25(+) cells in the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma (MM) related renal impairment (RI). Thirty patients with MM related RI and 30 healthy volunteers were studied. The number of CD4(+)CD25(+) cells was examined by flow cytometry. Clinical and laboratory data were collected from each subject. Glomerular injury was assessed by histopathology. Serum IL-2, IL-4 and IL-6 were analyzed by ELISA. CD4(+)CD25(+) cells significantly decreased in MM related RI patients compared to the controls (P<0.05). CD4(+)CD25(+) cell number was negatively associated with blood urea nitrogen (BUN), supernatant IL-4, serum IL-6, monoclonal immunoglobulin and β2-microglobulin, as well as bone marrow plasma cell percentage and proteinuria; whereas positively associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (all P < 0.05). CD4(+)CD25(+) cells gradually decreased as the Clinic Stage increased. The number of CD4(+)CD25(+) cells reduced in MM related RI patients, and was correlated with disease severity. CD4(+)CD25(+) cells may play an important role in the pathogenesis of MM related RI.

Carfilzomib in multiple myeloma patients with renal impairment: pharmacokinetics and safety.

Project description:This phase 2 study assessed the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and efficacy of carfilzomib, a selective proteasome inhibitor, in patients with multiple myeloma and varying degrees of renal impairment, including patients on chronic hemodialysis. Patients were grouped by creatinine clearance: >80 ml/min, 50-80 ml/min, 30-49 ml/min, <30 ml/min and chronic hemodialysis. Carfilzomib was administered on days 1, 2, 8, 9, 15 and 16 in 28-day cycles: 15 mg/m(2) (Cycle 1), 20 mg/m(2) (Cycle 2) and 27 mg/m(2) (Cycles 3+). There were no differences in carfilzomib clearance or exposure among patients with normal renal function and any group with renal impairment. Grade 3/4 adverse events (AEs) included anemia (28.0%), thrombocytopenia (20.0%), lymphopenia (18.0%) and fatigue (14.0%). AEs were similar among groups. At 15 mg/m(2), proteasome inhibition up to 85% was observed and did not differ among groups. Although nearly 50% of patients were refractory to both bortezomib and lenalidomide, end of study partial response or better (overall response rate) was 25.5% with 7.9 months median duration of response. In conclusion, the pharmacokinetics and safety of carfilzomib were not influenced by the degree of baseline renal impairment, including in patients on dialysis, and carfilzomib was well tolerated and demonstrated promising efficacy.

CD4(+)CD25(+) T Cells in primary malignant hypertension related kidney injury.

Project description:CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells are critical for maintenance of immunologic self-tolerance. We measured the number of CD4(+)CD25(+) cells in the patients with primary malignant hypertension related kidney injury, to explore the molecular pathogenesis of this disease. We selected 30 patients with primary malignant hypertension related kidney injury and 30 healthy volunteers. Information on clinical characteristics and laboratory tests was obtained from each subject. The number of CD4(+)CD25(+) cells and glomerular injury were assessed by flow cytometry and histopathology, respectively. Both serum IL-2, IL-4, and IL-6 and endothelial cell markers were analyzed by ELISA. ADAMTS13 antibody was detected by Western blotting. CD4(+)CD25(+) cells were significantly reduced in patients with primary malignant hypertension related kidney injury compared to controls (P < 0.05). The number of CD4(+)CD25(+) cells was negatively related to blood urea nitrogen, serum uric acid, proteinuria, and supernatant IL-4; whereas positively associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate in patients. Gradually decreasing CD4(+)CD25(+) cells were also found as increasing renal injury. Additionally, patients exhibited increasing supernatant IL-4, serum IL-2 and IL-6, endothelial cell markers, and anti-ADAMTS13 antibody compared with controls (all P < 0.05). CD4(+)CD25(+) cells may play a key role in the pathogenesis of primary malignant hypertension related kidney injury.

HSP70 enhances immunosuppressive function of CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) T regulatory cells and cytotoxicity in CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells.

Project description:Human CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) T regulatory cells (Tregs) control effector T cells and play a central role in peripheral tolerance and immune homeostasis. Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a major immunomodulatory molecule, but its effect on the functions of Tregs is not well understood. To investigate target-dependent and -independent Treg functions, we studied cytokine expression, regulation of proliferation and cytotoxicity after exposure of Tregs to HSP70. HSP70-treated Tregs significantly inhibited proliferation of CD4(+)CD25(-) target cells and downregulated the secretion of the proinflammatory cytokines IFN-? and TNF-?. By contrast, HSP70 increased the secretion of Treg suppressor cytokines IL-10 and TGF-?. Treatment with HSP70 enhanced the cytotoxic properties of Tregs only to a minor extent (4-fold), but led to stronger responses in CD4(+)CD25(-) cells (42-fold). HSP70-induced modulation of T-cell responses was further enhanced by combined treatment with HSP70 plus IL-2. Treatment of Tregs with HSP70 led to phosphorylation of PI3K/AKT and the MAPKs JNK and p38, but not that of ERK1/2. Exposure of Tregs to specific inhibitors of PI3K/AKT and the MAPKs JNK and p38 reduced the immunosuppressive function of HSP70-treated Tregs as indicated by the modified secretion of specific target cell (IFN-?, TNF-?) and suppressor cytokines (IL-10, TGF-?). Taken together, the data show that HSP70 enhances the suppressive capacity of Tregs to neutralize target immune cells. Thus HSP70-enhanced suppression of Tregs may prevent exaggerated immune responses and may play a major role in maintaining immune homeostasis.

Regulation of CD4+CD8-CD25+ and CD4+CD8+CD25+ T cells by gut microbiota in chicken.

Project description:The gut microbiota in chicken has long been studied, mostly from the perspective of growth performance. However, there are some immunological studies regarding gut homeostasis in chicken. Although CD4+CD25+ T cells are reported to act as regulatory T cells (Tregs) in chicken, there have been no studies showing the relationship between gut microbiota and Tregs. Therefore, we established a model for 'antibiotics (ABX)-treated chickens' through administration of an antibiotic cocktail consisting of ampicillin, gentamycin, neomycin, metronidazole, and vancomycin in water for 7 days. CD4+CD8-CD25+ and CD4+CD8+CD25+ T cells in cecal tonsils were significantly decreased in this model. Gram-positive bacteria, especially Clostridia, was responsible for the changes in CD4+CD8-CD25+ or CD4+CD8+CD25+ T cells in cecal tonsils. Feeding ABX-treated chickens with acetate recovered CD4+CD8-CD25+ and CD4+CD8+CD25+ T cells in cecal tonsils. GPR43, a receptor for acetate, was highly expressed in CD4+CD8-CD25+ T cells. In conclusion, our study demonstrated that the gut microbiota can regulate the population of CD4+CD8-CD25+ and CD4+CD8+CD25+ T cells, and that acetate is responsible for the induction of CD4+CD8-CD25+ T cells in cecal tonsils via GPR43.

miR-142-3p restricts cAMP production in CD4+CD25- T cells and CD4+CD25+ TREG cells by targeting AC9 mRNA.

Project description:Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is a ubiquitous second messenger that regulates diverse cellular functions. It has been found that CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T (T(REG)) cells exert their suppressor function by transferring cAMP to responder T cells. Here, we show that miR-142-3p regulates the production of cAMP by targeting adenylyl cyclase (AC) 9 messenger RNA in CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells and CD4(+)CD25(+) T(REG) cells. miR-142-3p limits the level of cAMP in CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells by inhibiting AC9 production, whereas forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) downregulates miR-142-3p to keep the AC9/cAMP pathway active in CD4(+)CD25(+) T(REG) cells. These findings reveal a new molecular mechanism through which CD4(+)CD25(+) T(REG) cells contain a high level of cAMP for their suppressor function, and also suggest that the microRNA controlling AC expression might restrict the final level of cAMP in various types of cells.

Nitric oxide induces CD4+CD25+ Foxp3 regulatory T cells from CD4+CD25 T cells via p53, IL-2, and OX40.

Project description:The principal aim of the immune system is to establish a balance between defense against pathogens and avoidance of autoimmune disease. This balance is achieved partly through regulatory T cells (Tregs). CD4(+)CD25(+) Tregs are either naturally occurring or induced by antigens and are characterized by the expression of the X-linked forkhead/winged helix transcription factor, Foxp3. Here we report a previously unrecognized subset of CD4(+)CD25(+) Tregs derived from CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells induced by nitric oxide (NO). The induction of Tregs (NO-Tregs) is independent of cGMP but depends on p53, IL-2, and OX40. NO-Tregs produced IL-4 and IL-10, but not IL-2, IFNgamma, or TGFbeta. The cells were GITR(+), CD27(+), T-bet(low), GATA3(high), and Foxp3(-). NO-Tregs suppressed the proliferation of CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells in vitro and attenuated colitis- and collagen-induced arthritis in vivo in an IL-10-dependent manner. NO-Tregs also were induced in vivo in SCID mice adoptively transferred with CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells in the presence of LPS and IFNgamma, and the induction was completely inhibited by N(G)-monomethyl-L-arginine, a pan NO synthase inhibitor. Therefore, our findings uncovered a previously unrecognized function of NO via the NO-p53-IL-2-OX40-survivin signaling pathway for T cell differentiation and development.

Leptin increase in multiple sclerosis associates with reduced number of CD4(+)CD25+ regulatory T cells.

Project description:We analyzed the serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leptin secretion and the interaction between serum leptin and CD4(+)CD25+ regulatory T cells (T(Regs)) in naive-to-therapy relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS) patients. Leptin production was significantly increased in both serum and CSF of RRMS patients and correlated with IFN-gamma secretion in the CSF. T cell lines against human myelin basic protein (hMBP) produced immunoreactive leptin and up-regulated the expression of the leptin receptor (ObR) after activation with hMBP. Treatment with either anti-leptin or anti-leptin-receptor neutralizing antibodies inhibited in vitro proliferation in response to hMBP. Interestingly, in the RRMS patients, an inverse correlation between serum leptin and percentage of circulating T(Regs) was also observed. To better analyze the finding, we enumerated T(Regs) in leptin-deficient (ob/ob) and leptin-receptor-deficient (db/db) mice and observed the significant increase in T(Regs). Moreover, treatment of WT mice with soluble ObR fusion protein (ObR:Fc) increased the percentage of T(Regs) and ameliorated the clinical course and progression of disease in proteolipid protein peptide (PLP(139-151))-induced relapsing-experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (R-EAE), an animal model of RRMS. These findings show an inverse relationship between leptin secretion and the frequency of T(Regs) in RRMS and may have implications for the pathogenesis of and therapy for multiple sclerosis.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells from tumor-bearing mice impair TGF-?-induced differentiation of CD4+CD25+FoxP3+ Tregs from CD4+CD25-FoxP3- T cells.

Project description:MDSCs and Tregs play an essential role in the immunosuppressive networks that contribute to tumor-immune evasion. The mechanisms by which tumors promote the expansion and/or function of these suppressive cells and the cross-talk between MDSC and Treg remain incompletely defined. Previous reports have suggested that MDSC may contribute to Treg induction in cancer. Herein, we provide evidence that tumor-induced gr-MDSCs, endowed with the potential of suppressing conventional T Lc, surprisingly impair TGF-?1-mediated generation of CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) iTregs. Furthermore, gr-MDSCs impede the proliferation of nTregs without, however, affecting FoxP3 expression. Suppression of iTreg differentiation from naïve CD4(+) cells by gr-MDSC occurs early in the polarization process, requires inhibition of early T cell activation, and depends on ROS and IDO but does not require arginase 1, iNOS, NO, cystine/cysteine depletion, PD-1 and PD-L1 signaling, or COX-2. These findings thus indicate that gr-MDSCs from TB hosts have the unanticipated ability to restrict immunosuppressive Tregs.

Hematopoietic progenitor cell regulation by CD4+CD25+ T cells.

Project description:CD4(+)CD25(+)FoxP3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) possess the capacity to modulate both adaptive and innate immune responses. We hypothesized that Tregs could regulate hematopoiesis based on cytokine effector molecules they can produce. The studies here demonstrate that Tregs can affect the differentiation of myeloid progenitor cells. In vitro findings demonstrated the ability of Tregs to inhibit the differentiation of interleukin-3 (IL-3)/stem cell factor (colony-forming unit [CFU]-IL3)-driven progenitor cells. Inhibitory effects were mediated by a pathway requiring cell-cell contact, major histocompatibility complex class II expression on marrow cells, and transforming growth factor-beta. Importantly, depletion of Tregs in situ resulted in enhanced CFU-IL3 levels after bone marrow transplantation. Cotransplantation of CD4(+)FoxP3(+)(gfp) Tregs together with bone marrow was found to diminish CFU-IL3 responses after transplantation. To address the consequence of transplanted Tregs on differentiated progeny from these CFU 2 weeks after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, peripheral blood complete blood counts were performed and examined for polymorphonuclear leukocyte content. Recipients of cotransplanted Tregs exhibited diminished neutrophil counts. Together, these findings illustrate that both recipient and donor Tregs can influence hematopoietic progenitor cell activity after transplantation and that these cells can alter responses outside the adaptive and innate immune systems.

Project description:ObjectivesCD4+CD25+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells (Treg) inhibit the anti-tumour immune response and reduce the effect of cancer immunotherapy. Although studies have demonstrated that the number and suppressive activity of Treg increase with age, it is not clear whether these changes correlate with a higher incidence of tumours in the elderly. This study was designed to explore the relationship between increase in CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ Treg and the higher risk of lung cancer in the elderly.MethodsSeventy lung cancer patients and 60 sex- and age-matched controls were recruited. Both groups were divided into three subgroups based on their age (young, middle-aged, or elderly). The proportion of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ /CD4+ T cells was detected using flow cytometry, and the level of FOXP3 mRNA in the peripheral blood was examined with real-time RT-PCR.ResultsThe levels of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+/CD4+ T cells and FOXP3 mRNA were significantly higher in lung cancer patients than in healthy controls (t = 7.16, P < 0.01 and t = 3.65, P < 0.01, respectively). Within the healthy groups, the elderly group had larger proportion of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ Treg (F = 32.54, P < 0.01) and higher FOXP3 mRNA expression (F = 4.76, P < 0.01) than their younger counterparts. Among the six subgroups, the elderly lung cancer patients exhibited the highest levels of both CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ Treg (11.81 ± 2.40%) and FOXP3 mRNA (3.14 ± 1.30).ConclusionsThe accumulation of CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ Treg with age correlates well with the increasing incidence of lung cancer in the elderly.
