Several lines of evidences have shown that Nocardia rubra cell wall skeleton (Nr-CWS) has immunoregulatory and anti-tumor activities. However, there is no information about the effect of Nr-CWS on CD4 T cells. The aim of this study was to explore the effect of Nr-CWS on the phenotype and function of CD4 T cells. Our results of in vitro experiments showed that Nr-CWS could significantly up-regulate the expression of CD69 and CD25 on CD4 T cells, promote the proliferation of CD4 T cells, increase the production of IFN-γ, TNF-α and IL-2 in the supernatants, but has no significant effect on the apoptosis and death of CD4 T cells. Results of in vivo experiments showed that Nr-CWS could promote the proliferation of CD4 T cells, and increase the production of IL-2, IFN-γ and TNF-α (Th1 type cytokines). These data suggest that Nr-CWS can enhance the activation of CD4 T cells, promote the proliferation of CD4 T cells and the differentiation of CD4 T cells to Th1 cells.
多项证据表明,红色诺卡氏菌细胞壁骨架(Nr-CWS)具有免疫调节和抗肿瘤活性。然而,关于Nr-CWS对CD4 T细胞影响的信息却未见报道。本研究的目的是探讨Nr-CWS对CD4 T细胞表型和功能的影响。我们的体外实验结果表明,Nr-CWS可显著上调CD4 T细胞上CD69和CD25的表达,促进CD4 T细胞的增殖,增加上清液中IFN-γ、TNF-α和IL-2的产生,但对CD4 T细胞的凋亡和死亡无显著影响。体内实验结果表明,Nr-CWS可促进CD4 T细胞的增殖,并增加IL-2、IFN-γ和TNF-α(Th1型细胞因子)的产生。这些数据表明,Nr-CWS可增强CD4 T细胞的活化,促进CD4 T细胞的增殖以及CD4 T细胞向Th1细胞的分化。
