目的研究颗粒化日本血吸虫Mr22600抗原对小鼠树突状细胞(DCs)功能的影响及诱导CD4^+CD25^+调节性T细胞的作用。方法体外实验:分别用Sepharose 4B偶联rSj22.6/26GST抗原与可溶性rSj22.6/26GST抗原负载DCs,流式检测DCs表型变化,混合淋巴细胞增殖实验检测DCs功能。将不同抗原负载的DCs,与CD4^+T细胞共培养,流式检测观察对CD4^+CD25^+Foxp3+T细胞数量的影响。体内试验:将42只BALB/c小鼠随机分6组(每组6~8只),A组免疫Sepharose4B偶联rSj22.6/26GST抗原,B组免疫福氏佐剂乳化rSj22.6/26GST抗原,C组免疫rSj22.6/26GST抗原,同时设Sepharose4B对照组(D组),福氏佐剂对照组(E组)和PBS对照组(F组),各组均为皮下多点免疫50μg抗原,隔2周加强免疫,共免疫2次。末次免疫后2周处死,无菌取腹股沟淋巴结,制备细胞悬液,流式检测DCs占淋巴结细胞的比例;同时取脾脏,制备成脾脏单个核细胞,流式检测各免疫组CD4^+CD25^+Foxp3+T细胞占脾细胞的比例。用免疫磁珠分选各免疫组CD4^+CD25^+T细胞,与CD4^+CD25-T细胞共培养,氚标记胸腺嘧啶核苷(3H-TdR)掺入法检测细胞增殖情况。结果体外实验结果显示,DCs经可溶性抗原刺激后表面分子CD40、CD80、CD86表达率分别为(43.5±6.2)%、(37.7±0.1)%和(71.4±1.4)%,经Sepharose4B偶联抗原刺激后表达率分别为(31.2±5.4)%、(32.0±1.6)%和(63.8±1.0)%,与可溶性抗原相比,Sepharose4B偶联rSj22.6/26GST抗原不能有效刺激DCs成熟。Sepharose4B偶联rSj22.6/26GST抗原负载DCs可诱导CD4^+CD25^+调节性T细胞扩增。体内实验结果显示,Sepharose4B偶联rSj22.6/26GST抗原免疫小鼠可诱导CD4^+CD25^+调节性T细胞数量增加,且与可溶性抗原组(cpm值为3558±147)相比,Sepharose4B偶联rSj22.6/26GST抗原组(cpm值为1420±335)来源的CD4^+CD25^+调节性T细胞的抑制能力更强。结论 Sepharose4B偶联rSj22.6/26GST抗原与可溶?
Objective To study the role of Schistosoma japonicum Mr 22 600 particulated-antigen on dendritic cells (DCs) and CD4^+CD25^+ regulatory T cells. Methods In in vitro experiments, DCs were pulsed with Sepharose 4B coupling rSj22.6/26GST and soluble rSj22.6/26GST, respectively. The surface molecules of DCs were detected by flow cytometry and the function of DCs was detected by mixed lymphocyte reaction. For the reduction of CD4^+CD25^+ T cells, DCs pulsed with Sepharose 4B coupling rSj22.6/26GST and soluble rSj22.6/26GST, respectively, were co-cultured with CD4^+ T cells isolated from the spleen cells. The percentage of CD4^+CD25^+ Foxp3+ T cells in CD4^+ T cells was detected by flow cytometry. In in vivo experiments, BALB/c mice were immunized with Sepharose 4B coupling rSj22.6/26GST, Freund′s adjuvant emulsified rSj22.6/26GST, rSj22.6/26GST, Sepharose 4B, Freund′s adjuvant and PBS, respectively. The percentage of DCs in draining lymph nodes and the percentage of CD4^+CD25^+Foxp3+ T cells in spleen cells were detected by flow cytometry. To analyze the inhibitory roles of CD4^+CD25^+ T cells on CD4^+CD25-T cells, CD4^+CD25^+ T cells were separated from mice immunized with Sepharose 4B coupling rSj22.6/26GST and Freund′s adjuvant emulsified rSj22.6/26GST, respectively, and co-cultured with CD4^+CD25-T cells. The proliferation of cells was assessed by [3H] thymidine incorporation method.Results In vitro, the expression rate of the surface molecules of CD40, CD80 and CD86 on the soluble antigen pulsed DCs were (43.5±6.2)%, (37.7±0.1)%, and (71.4±1.4)%, respectively. But on the Sepharose 4B coupling antigen pulsed DCs, they were (31.2±5.4)%, (32.0±1.6)%, and (63.8±1.0)%, respectively, which suggested that the Sepharose 4B coupling rSj22.6/26GST had less stimulating roles on DCs maturation. Furthermore, addition of DCs pulsed with Sepharose 4B coupling rSj22.6/26GST caused the expanding of CD4^+CD25^+ T cells. In vivo, immunization of Sepharo
