Tag7 (PGLYRP1) Can Induce an Emergence of the CD3+CD4+CD25+CD127+ Cells with Antitumor Activity.

ABSTRACT: We have shown that in the human peripheral blood cells, the innate immunity protein Tag7 can activate a subpopulation of CD3+CD4+CD25+ cells, which have antitumor activity. These cells can induce lysis of HLA-negative tumor cell lines. The Hsp70 stress molecule on the surface of the tumor cells is used as a recognition target, while the Tag7 protein on the lymphocyte membrane acts as a receptor for Hsp70. We have also demonstrated that this subpopulation of the CD4+CD25+ cells is CD127 positive and hence is not the Treg cells. Our data suggest that this subpopulation of cells is identical to the CD4+CD25+ lymphocytes, which are activated in the leukocyte pool by the IL-2 cytokine.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Despite the high frequency of CD4+ T cells with a regulatory phenotype (CD25+CD127(low) FoxP3+) in the joints of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), inflammation persists. One possible explanation is that human Treg cells are converted into proinflammatory interleukin-17 (IL-17)-producing cells by inflammatory mediators and thereby lose their suppressive function. The aim of this study was to investigate whether activated monocytes, which are potent producers of inflammatory cytokines and are abundantly present in the rheumatic joint, induce proinflammatory cytokine expression in human Treg cells and impair their regulatory function. METHODS:The presence and phenotype of CD4+CD45RO+CD25+CD127(low) T cells (memory Treg cells) and CD14+ monocytes in the peripheral blood (PB) and synovial fluid (SF) of patients with RA were investigated by flow cytometry. Memory Treg cells obtained from healthy control subjects underwent fluorescence-activated cell sorting and then were cocultured with autologous activated monocytes and stimulated with anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies. Intracellular cytokine expression, phenotype, and function of cells were determined by flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and proliferation assays. RESULTS:In patients with RA, the frequencies of CD4+CD45RO+CD25+CD127(low) Treg cells and activated CD14+ monocytes were higher in SF compared with PB. In vitro-activated monocytes induced an increase in the percentage of IL-17-positive, interferon-? (IFN?)-positive, and tumor necrosis factor ? (TNF?)-positive Treg cells as well as IL-10-positive Treg cells. The observed increase in IL-17-positive and IFN?-positive Treg cells was driven by monocyte-derived IL-1?, IL-6, and TNF? and was mediated by both CD14+CD16- and CD14+CD16+ monocyte subsets. Despite enhanced cytokine expression, cells maintained their CD25+FoxP3+CD39+ Treg cell phenotype and showed an enhanced capacity to suppress T cell proliferation and IL-17 production. CONCLUSION:Treg cells exposed to a proinflammatory environment show increased cytokine expression as well as enhanced suppressive activity.

Project description:Although immunoregulation of alloreactive human CTLs has been described, the direct influence of CD4(+) Tregs on CD8(+) cytotoxicity and the interactive mechanisms have not been well clarified. Therefore, human CD4(+)CD127(-)CD25(+)FOXP3(+) Tregs were generated in MLR, immunoselected and their allospecific regulatory functions and associated mechanisms were then tested using modified (51)Chromium release assays (Micro-CML), MLRs and CFSE-based multi-fluorochrome flow cytometry proliferation assays. It was observed that increased numbers of CD4(+)CD127(-)CD25(+)FOXP3(+) cells were generated after a 7 day MLR. After immunoselection for CD4(+)CD127(-)CD25(+) cells, they were designated as MLR-Tregs. When added as third component modulators, MLR-Tregs inhibited the alloreactive proliferation of autologous PBMC in a concentration dependent manner. The inhibition was quasi-antigen specific, in that the inhibition was non-specific at higher MLR-Treg modulator doses, but non-specificity disappeared with lower numbers at which specific inhibition was still significant. When tested in micro-CML assays CTL inhibition occurred with PBMC and purified CD8(+) responders. However, antigen specificity of CTL inhibition was observed only with unpurified PBMC responders and not with purified CD8(+) responders or even with CD8(+) responders plus Non-T "APC". However, allospecificity of CTL regulation was restored when autologous purified CD4(+) T cells were added to the CD8(+) responders. Proliferation of CD8(+) cells was suppressed by MLR-Tregs in the presence or absence of IL-2. Inhibition by MLR-Tregs was mediated through down-regulation of intracellular perforin, granzyme B and membrane-bound CD25 molecules on the responding CD8(+) cells. Therefore, it was concluded that human CD4(+)CD127(-)CD25(+)FOXP3(+) MLR-Tregs down-regulate alloreactive cytotoxic responses. Regulatory allospecificity, however, requires the presence of cognate responding CD4(+) T cells. CD8(+) CTL regulatory mechanisms include impaired proliferation, reduced expression of cytolytic molecules and CD25(+) activation epitopes.
