It has been recognized only in the past 15 years that the major pathological mechanism of asthma is inflammation, which has a hallmark of focal leukocyte extravasation. The different recruitment behaviors of inflammatory cells depend on the expression of specific adhesive molecules on both leukocytes and endothelial cells(EC). Intercellular cellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) plays a major role. In the previous detailed in-vivo study of asthmatic models, we have proved the significant pathological increase of both the leukocyte-endothelium adhesion phenomenon and the ICAM-1 expression in the tissues of asthmatic lung. It may be due to an ICAM-1 accumulation on the microvascular endothelial cells and thus an enhancement of adhesion force during the course of disease. In this study, endothelial cells were obtained from rats by mechanical isolation of lung tissues and in vitro culture on glass. Confluent endothelial cells were incubated with serum collected from rat blood of normal and asthmatic models and were used for in vitro study of endothelial cell adhesion. The effect of pathological serum stimulation was examined on the expression of ICAM-1 of the pulmonary microvascular endothelial cells (PMEC). The expression of ICAM-1 on PMEC was measured by indirect immuno-fluorescence with flow cytometry. We found that the surface expression of ICAM-1 was obviously increased on serum-incubated EC as compared with that on the culture solution-incubated one, and that asthmatic serum increased the expression of ICAM-1 on EC to a peak in 4 hours and then decreased it rapidly,the expression level remained the same in the whole course when EC was treated with culture solution or normal serum.

Objective To investigate the phenotype and the immunoregulatory function of CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells in peripheral blood samples from mice.Methods The distribution profile and the phenotype of CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells in C57BL/6 mice were detected by flow cytometry.The cytokines released by CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells upon the stimulation with anti-CD3 antibody were analyzed by cytometric bead array.The in vitro immunosuppressive activity of CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells on activated CD4+T cells was analyzed by using flow cytometry and carboxyfluorescein succinimidyl ester ( CFSE ) .An adoptive cell transfer assay was set up to evaluate the immunoprotective effects of CD8αα+TCRαβ+ regulatory T cells in a mouse model of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis ( EAE) .Results CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells were detected in liver, spleen and peripheral blood samples collected from na?ve C57BL/6 mice.Compared with CD8αβ+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells, CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells showed a memory-activated phenotype of CD25+CD122high CD44high CD62Llow CD69high NK1.1+DX5+.CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells could produce IL-2 after 24 hours stimulation with anti-CD3 antibody, followed by producing IFN-γ, TNF-α, IL-4, IL-17A and traces of IL-6 and IL-10. In vitro, CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells specifically suppressed the proliferation of activated CD4+T cells ( P<0.01 ).Moreover, they could delay the onset of EAE in mice and reduce clinical score (P<0.01).Conclusion CD8αα+TCRαβ+regulatory T cells were a unique population with immunoregula-tory function, which could be used as a potential therapeutic target in the treatment of autoimmune disease.

Objective To observe the influence of different doses of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) on function of T cells in cord blood of premature infants and to explore the immunomodulating mechanism of IVIG.Methods Cord blood mononuclear cells (CBMC) were isolated by density gradient centrifugation method from 15 preterm infants born between June 1,2011 to December 31,2011 at 32 34 gestational weeks.Three groups were formed according to the concentrations of IVIG used for CMBC culturing in vitro (Group A,6 mg/ml; Group B,9 mg/ml; Group C,12 mg/ml).After 72 hours in sterile conditions,the levels of IFN 7,IL 4,IL-10 and TGF β1 in the supernatant were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The expression of CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+ Treg cells was examined by fluorescent activated cell sorter.Differences among groups were compared by one way analysis of variance.For comparison between two groups,LSD test was used.Results (1) The level of IFN γ secreted by CBMC in Group C was 0.03 ± 0.02,which was much lower than that in Group A(0.18±0.08) and Group B(0.13±0.05) (F=5.72,both P<0.01).The level of IFN-γ in Group B and Group A did not show statistical difference (P>0.05).Compared with Group A(0.03±0.01),the level of IL4 was much lower in Group B (0.02±0.01) and Group C(0.01±0.01) (F=20.38,both P<0.01),while no significant difference was shown between Group B and Group C (P>0.05).(2) No significant difference was found in the expression of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg cells among different groups (F 0.67,P>0.05).(3) The level of IL 10 in Group C was 3.02 ± 3.79,which was significantly lower than that in Group A (10.78±5.44) and Group B (6.90±4.64)(F=4.68,P<0.01 and 0.05).The level of IL-10 inGroup B was still lower than that in Group A (P<0.05).The levels of TGF-β1 in Group C(8.44± 13.71) and Group B(16.15 ±13.94) were significantly lower than that in Group A(30.23 ± 16.32) (F=5.22,P<0.01,P<0.05),but there was no significant difference between Group B and Group C (P>0.05).Conclusions IVIG might inhibit the function of Th cells in CBMC of preterm infants in a dose dependent manner.IVIG could inhibit the function of natural Treg cells by regulating the secretion of cytokines IL-10 and TGF-β1 in a dose dependent effect.
