To investigate whether CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T (Treg) cells play a role in the development of anterior chamber-associated immune deviation (ACAID).
The dynamic changes in the frequency of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells, CD4(+)CD25(+) FoxP3(+) T cells and CD4(+)CD25(+) PD-1(+) T cells from spleens of mice with ACAID were analyzed by flow cytometry. Foxp3 mRNA expression in purified CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells was analyzed using real-time PCR. The suppressive effect of purified CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells on the proliferation of CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells was evaluated by [(3)H] thymidine incorporation. A blocking experiment was performed to further address the role of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells in ACAID. The expression of IL-10 in purified CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells was evaluated by ELISA.
Increased frequencies of CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells, CD4(+)CD25(+) FoxP3(+) T cells and CD4(+)CD25(+) PD-1(+) T cells were observed in ACAID. The CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells from mice with ACAID showed enhanced suppressive effect on the proliferation of CD4(+)CD25(-) T cells. Treatment of BALB/c mice with anti-CD25 antibody after injection of OVA into the anterior chamber significantly inhibited the induction of ACAID. Furthermore, purified CD4(+)CD25(+) T cells from ACAID mice secreted IL-10.
Our results demonstrate that Treg cells are induced in the mice undergoing ACAID. These Treg cells may play a role in the development of ACAID.
研究CD4(+)CD25(+)调节性T(Treg)细胞在前房相关免疫偏离(ACAID)的发生发展中是否发挥作用。
采用流式细胞术分析ACAID小鼠脾脏中CD4(+)CD25(+) T细胞、CD4(+)CD25(+) FoxP3(+) T细胞和CD4(+)CD25(+) PD-1(+) T细胞频率的动态变化。利用实时PCR分析纯化的CD4(+)CD25(+) T细胞中Foxp3 mRNA的表达。通过[3H]胸苷掺入法评估纯化的CD4(+)CD25(+) T细胞对CD4(+)CD25(-) T细胞增殖的抑制作用。进行阻断实验以进一步探讨CD4(+)CD25(+) T细胞在ACAID中的作用。采用ELISA法评估纯化的CD4(+)CD25(+) T细胞中IL-10的表达。
在ACAID中观察到CD4(+)CD25(+) T细胞、CD4(+)CD25(+) FoxP3(+) T细胞和CD4(+)CD25(+) PD-1(+) T细胞频率增加。来自ACAID小鼠的CD4(+)CD25(+) T细胞对CD4(+)CD25(-) T细胞的增殖显示出增强的抑制作用。在前房注射OVA后用抗CD25抗体处理BALB/c小鼠可显著抑制ACAID的诱导。此外,来自ACAID小鼠的纯化CD4(+)CD25(+) T细胞分泌IL-10。
我们的结果表明,在经历ACAID的小鼠中诱导产生了Treg细胞。这些Treg细胞可能在ACAID的发生发展中发挥作用。
