In the present study, we showed that activation of human CD4 T cells can be induced by anti-CD3 and collagen in a serum-free system. This activation was inhibited by the addition of peptides containing the RGD or Gly-Pro-X sequences. Significantly, we demonstrated that both the 1F7 (CD26) structure and the VLA integrin family, particularly the VLA-3 complex, contribute to the functional interaction between collagen and CD4 cells since anti-1F7 and anti-VLA-3 specifically inhibited this collagen-induced CD4 cell activation. Biochemical studies showed that the 1F7 structure is not a member of the VLA integrin family. These results thus indicated that two different families of antigens serve as functional collagen receptors for CD4 T cell activation.
在本研究中,我们发现,在无血清体系中,抗CD3和胶原蛋白可诱导人CD4 T细胞活化。添加含有RGD或Gly-Pro-X序列的肽可抑制这种活化。重要的是,我们证明1F7(CD26)结构和VLA整合素家族,特别是VLA-3复合物,参与了胶原蛋白与CD4细胞之间的功能相互作用,因为抗1F7和抗VLA-3特异性抑制了这种胶原蛋白诱导的CD4细胞活化。生化研究表明,1F7结构不是VLA整合素家族的成员。因此,这些结果表明,两类不同的抗原家族作为CD4 T细胞活化的功能性胶原蛋白受体。
