BACKGROUND: The pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS) is mediated primarily by T cells, but most studies of MS and its animal model, experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE), have focused on CD4 T cells. The aims of the current study were to determine the pathological interrelationship between CD4 and CD8 autoreactive T cells in MS/EAE. METHODS: Female C57BL/6 mice (n = 20) were induced by myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)35-55 peptide. At 14 days after immunization, T cells were isolated from the spleen and purified as CD4 and CD8 T cells by using CD4 and CD8 isolation kits, and then the purity was determined by flow cytometric analysis. These cells were stimulated by MOG35-55 peptide and applied to proliferation assays. The interferon-gamma (IFN-γ) and interleukin (IL)-4 secretion of supernatant of cultured CD4 and CD8 T cells were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA). For adoptive transfer, recipient mice were injected with MOG35-55-specific CD8 or CD4 T cells. EAE clinical course was measured by EAE score at 0-5 scale and spinal cord was examined by staining with hematoxylin and eosin and Luxol fast blue staining. RESULTS: CD8CD3 and CD4CD3 cells were 86% and 94% pure of total CD3 cells after CD8/CD4 bead enrichment, respectively. These cells were stimulated by MOG35-55 peptide and applied to proliferation assays. Although the CD8 T cells had a generally lower response to MOG35-55 than CD4 T cells, the response of CD8 T cells was not always dependent on CD4. CD8 T cell secreted less IFN-γ and IL-4 compared with CD4 T cells. EAE was induced in wildtype B6 naïve mice by adoptive transfer of MOG35-55-specific T cells from B6 active-induced EAE (aEAE) mice. A similar EAE score and slight inflammation and demyelination were found in naive B6 mice after transferring of CD8 T cells from immunized B6 mice compared with transfer of CD4 T cells. CONCLUSION: Our data suggest that CD8 autoreactive T cells in EAE have a lower encephalitogenic function but are unique and independent on pathogenic of EAE rather than their CD4 counterparts.
背景:多发性硬化症(MS)的发病机制主要由 T 细胞介导,但对 MS 及其动物模型实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎(EAE)的大多数研究都集中在 CD4 T 细胞上。本研究的目的是确定 MS/EAE 中 CD4 和 CD8 自身反应性 T 细胞之间的病理相互关系。
方法:雌性 C57BL/6 小鼠(n=20)用髓鞘少突胶质细胞糖蛋白(MOG)35-55 肽诱导。免疫后 14 天,从脾脏中分离 T 细胞,并通过 CD4 和 CD8 分离试剂盒将其纯化为 CD4 和 CD8 T 细胞,然后通过流式细胞术分析确定纯度。用 MOG35-55 肽刺激这些细胞,并进行增殖实验。通过酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)测量培养的 CD4 和 CD8 T 细胞上清液中干扰素-γ(IFN-γ)和白细胞介素(IL)-4 的分泌。用于过继转移,受者小鼠注射 MOG35-55 特异性 CD8 或 CD4 T 细胞。EAE 临床病程通过 0-5 刻度的 EAE 评分测量,并用苏木精和伊红染色以及卢索快速蓝染色检查脊髓。
结果:用 CD8/CD4 珠富集后,CD8CD3 和 CD4CD3 细胞分别为总 CD3 细胞的 86%和 94%纯。这些细胞用 MOG35-55 肽刺激并进行增殖实验。尽管 CD8 T 细胞对 MOG35-55 的反应通常低于 CD4 T 细胞,但 CD8 T 细胞的反应并不总是依赖于 CD4。与 CD4 T 细胞相比,CD8 T 细胞分泌的 IFN-γ 和 IL-4 较少。通过从免疫 B6 小鼠中过继转移 MOG35-55 特异性 T 细胞,在野生型 B6 小鼠中诱导 EAE。与转移 CD4 T 细胞相比,从免疫 B6 小鼠中转移 CD8 T 细胞后,幼稚 B6 小鼠中发现了类似的 EAE 评分以及轻微的炎症和脱髓鞘。
结论:我们的数据表明,EAE 中的 CD8 自身反应性 T 细胞具有较低的脑炎发病功能,但与 CD4 对应物不同,它们具有独特性和独立性,而不是其致病性。
