We investigated whether interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) and glucocorticoids affected the adhesion of T cells to human umbilical endothelial cells or human synovial cells. About 30% of peripheral blood T cells could bind to unstimulated endothelial cells, but only a few T cells could bind to unstimulated synovial cells. When both endothelial cells and synovial cells were cultured with recombinant IFN-gamma (rIFN-gamma), the percentage of T cell binding to both types of cells increased in a dose-dependent manner. rIFN-alpha and dexamethasone blocked the T cell binding to unstimulated endothelial cells. Furthermore, rIFN-alpha and dexamethasone suppressed T cell binding to both endothelial cells and synovial cells stimulated by IFN-gamma, and also inhibited intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) expression on both endothelial cells and synovial cells stimulated by IFN-gamma. These results suggest that IFN-alpha and glucocorticoids may inhibit T cell binding to endothelial cells or synovial cells by modulating adhesion molecule expression on these cells.
我们研究了γ干扰素(IFN-γ)、α干扰素(IFN-α)和糖皮质激素是否会影响T细胞与人脐静脉内皮细胞或人滑膜细胞的黏附。约30%的外周血T细胞可与未受刺激的内皮细胞结合,但只有少数T细胞能与未受刺激的滑膜细胞结合。当内皮细胞和滑膜细胞均用重组γ干扰素(rIFN-γ)培养时,T细胞与这两种细胞结合的百分比呈剂量依赖性增加。rIFN-α和地塞米松可阻断T细胞与未受刺激的内皮细胞的结合。此外,rIFN-α和地塞米松可抑制T细胞与IFN-γ刺激的内皮细胞和滑膜细胞的结合,还可抑制IFN-γ刺激的内皮细胞和滑膜细胞上细胞间黏附分子-1(ICAM-1)的表达。这些结果表明,IFN-α和糖皮质激素可能通过调节这些细胞上黏附分子的表达来抑制T细胞与内皮细胞或滑膜细胞的结合。
