目的探讨吲哚胺2,3双加氧酶(IDO)抑制T细胞增殖的机制。方法通过低色氨酸(10μmol/L)培养基(LTM)和/或添加不同浓度(50、100、200和400μmlol/L)色氨酸代谢产物(TC),观察小鼠树突细胞(DC)与异系CD4+T细胞培养体系中后者的增殖。Annexin-V及碘化丙锭(PI)双染法测定CD4+T细胞凋亡。结果LTM中CD4+T细胞增殖指数(2.718±0.010)及抑制CD4+T细胞增殖的TC浓度(200μmol/LKYN或50μmol/L3-HAA)较正常色氨酸培养基(NTM)(3.385+0.013,400μmoL/LKYN或100μmol/L3-HAA)显著降低,差异有统计学意义(P〈0.01)。LTM中CD4+T细胞早期凋亡率(33.163±0.556)%显著高于NTM(8.867+0.565)%(P〈0.01)。NTM中CD4+T细胞凋亡率随3-HAA浓度升高而增加[3-HAA浓度50、100、200和400μmol/L组中分别为(14.433±0.640)%、(22.273±0.629)%、(37.363±0.953)%和(46.643±0.633)%]。结论LTM及TC均可通过诱导凋亡来抑制CD4+T细胞增殖,两者具有叠加效应。
Objective To reveal the mechanism of inhibitory effect on CD4+T lymphocytes proliferation by indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase (IDOl. Methods Low-Tryptophan medium ( 10μmol/L) and/ or Tryptophan catabolites (50, 100,200 and 400μmol/L) were used to observe CD4 ± T lymphocytes pro liferation in a mixed culturing system with murine dentritic cells (DC) and allogeneic CD4+ lymphocytes in vitro. Annexin-V and PI double staining method was used to determine CD4+ lymphocytes apoptosis. Results Stimulation index in low-Tryptophan medium group (2. 718 ± 0. 010) was decreased significantly (P 〈 0. 01 ) as compared with that in normal Tryptophan medium group (3. 385 ± 0.013). The inhibitory concentrations of Tryptophan eatabolites in low-Trptophan medium group (200 μmol/L KYN or 50 μmol/L 3-HAA) were lower significantly than those in nomal Trptophan medimn group (400 μmol/L KYN or 100 p, mol/L 3-HAA). Apoptosis rate of CD4 ~T cells in low-tryptophan medium goup (33. 163 ± 0. 556)% was significantly higher (P 〈 0. 01 ) than that in the control group ( 8. 867 ± 0. 565 ) %. The apoptosis rate was increased with the increase in concentrations of Tryptophan catabolites [ ( 14. 433 ± 0. 640 ) % , (22. 273 ±0. 629)%, (37. 363 ±0. 953)% and (46. 643 ±0. 633)% in the medium of 50, 100, 200 and 400 μmol/L of 3-HAA ]. Conclusion Low-tryptophan medium and tryptophan eatabolites both can inhibit the proliferation of CD4 ± T lymphocytes by inducing apoptosis.
