Abstract

Asthma is a heterogeneous disease, and abnormal activation of T cells is the driving link of asthma's pathophysiological changes. Dual-positive Th2-Th17 cells, as newly discovered T-helper cells, have the functions of Th2 and Th17 cells and can coproduce Th2 and Th17 cytokines. Previous studies have shown that dual-positive Th2-Th17 cells increase the chances of asthma and correlate with asthma severity. However, the exact role of dual-positive Th2-Th17 cells in asthma is not known. Since there is no mature differentiation method for dual-positive Th2-Th17 cells, the present study aimed to clarify the strict differentiation conditions and reveal how dual-positive Th2-Th17 cells regulate asthma phenotypes. In this study, we confirmed that IL-1, IL-6, anti-IFN-, and IL-21 promoted biphenotypic cell differentiation. Moreover, more proportion of dual-positive Th2-Th17 cells can be obtained by conditioned differentiation of mouse CD4 T cells after classical allergic asthma modeling. Before asthma modeling, adoptive dual-positive Th2-Th17 cells promoted T cells to differentiate into the same biphenotype cells and exacerbated the severity of asthma. Together, our results clarify the differentiation conditions of dual-positive Th2-Th17 cells and further confirm that it stimulates asthma T cells to differentiate into the same biphenotype cells, leading to exacerbation of asthma.

摘要

哮喘是一种异质性疾病,T 细胞的异常激活是哮喘病理生理变化的驱动环节。双阳性 Th2-Th17 细胞作为新发现的辅助性 T 细胞,具有 Th2 和 Th17 细胞的功能,可共同产生 Th2 和 Th17 细胞因子。既往研究表明,双阳性 Th2-Th17 细胞增加了哮喘的发病几率,并与哮喘严重程度相关。然而,双阳性 Th2-Th17 细胞在哮喘中的确切作用尚不清楚。由于双阳性 Th2-Th17 细胞没有成熟的分化方法,本研究旨在阐明严格的分化条件,并揭示双阳性 Th2-Th17 细胞如何调节哮喘表型。在本研究中,我们证实了 IL-1、IL-6、抗 IFN-γ 和 IL-21 可促进双表型细胞分化。此外,在经典变应性哮喘模型建立后,通过对小鼠 CD4 T 细胞进行条件性分化,可获得更多比例的双阳性 Th2-Th17 细胞。在哮喘建模之前,过继转移的双阳性 Th2-Th17 细胞可促进 T 细胞向相同的双表型细胞分化,并加重哮喘的严重程度。总之,我们的结果阐明了双阳性 Th2-Th17 细胞的分化条件,并进一步证实其可刺激哮喘 T 细胞分化为相同的双表型细胞,导致哮喘加重。
