Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an inflammatory disease of the CNS mediated by CD4(+) T cells directed against myelin antigens. Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is induced by immunization with myelin antigens like myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG). We have explored the transfer of EAE using MOG(35-55)-specific TCR transgenic (2D2) T cells. Unsorted 2D2 Th1 cells reliably transferred EAE. Further, we found that CD44(hi)CD62L(lo) effector/memory CD4(+) T cells are likely responsible for the disease transfer due to the up-regulation of CD44. Given the importance of MOG in MS pathogenesis, mechanistic insights into adoptively transferred EAE by MOG-specific Th1 cells could prove valuable in MS research.
多发性硬化症(MS)是一种由中枢神经系统炎症引起的疾病,其介导物是针对髓鞘抗原的 CD4(+)T 细胞。实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎(EAE)是通过用髓鞘抗原如髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白(MOG)免疫诱导产生的。我们使用髓鞘寡糖蛋白(MOG)(35-55)特异性 TCR 转基因(2D2)T 细胞探索了 EAE 的转移。未分选的 2D2Th1 细胞可靠地转移了 EAE。此外,我们发现由于 CD44 的上调,CD44(hi)CD62L(lo)效应/记忆 CD4(+)T 细胞可能是导致疾病转移的原因。鉴于 MOG 在 MS 发病机制中的重要性,通过 MOG 特异性 Th1 细胞进行的过继转移 EAE 的机制见解可能对 MS 研究具有重要价值。
