| Popis: | The present study examines the effects of IL-4 and TNF-alpha on the CD3-dependent (Ag/MHC-initiated or anti-CD3 mAb-initiated) and CD3-independent (IL-2-initiated) pathways of the initiation of human T-cell activation. Both IL-4 and TNF-alpha significantly augmented the CD3-dependent T-cell proliferation induced by either irradiated OKT3 hybridoma cells or allogeneic B cells. In contrast, the CD3-independent IL-2-initiated T-cell proliferation was enhanced by TNF-alpha and significantly inhibited by IL-4. Although the growth-enhancing effects of both IL-4 and TNF-alpha on the CD3-dependent T-cell proliferation were noticeable regardless of when these cytokines were introduced in culture, the inhibitory effect of IL-4 on the CD3-independent IL-2-initiated T-cell activation was observed only if IL-4 was added at the initiation but not later than 24 hr of "T cells + IL-2" cultures. The growth-enhancing effects of both IL-4 and TNF-alpha on the CD3-dependent T-cell activation were not confined to any one subset of T cells. On the other hand, IL-4 inhibited the IL-2-induced proliferation of CD4+ (helper/inducer) T cells and CD45R+ (virgin) T cells but not that of CD8+ (cytotoxic/suppressor) T cells and CD45R (memory) T cells. When examined for their effects on cytokine production, CD3-dependent production of IL-2 and IFN-gamma was affected by neither cytokine, whereas IL-4 strongly inhibited the production of IFN-gamma by IL-2-stimulated T cells. Consistent with their enhancing and inhibitory effects, respectively, on IL-2-induced T-cell proliferation, TNF-alpha augmented and IL-4 inhibited the development of IL-2-stimulated MHC-unrestricted cytolytic (MUC) T-cell activity directed against tumor cells. When deprived of IL-2, MUC T cells rapidly lose their cytolytic activity, and despite its inhibitory effect on the development of MUC T cells, exposure of IL-2-deprived MUC T cells with decaying cytolytic activity to IL-4 retards the decay in their cytolytic activity. These results suggest the differential regulatory effects of IL-4 and TNF-alpha during human T-cell activation. |
