Abstract: | AIM:To confirm that CD4+CD25+ regulato ry T cells don't have an instinctive defection in IL-2 secretion,and to have an insight into the maturation state of CD4+CD25+ T cells in cord blood.METHODS:CD4+CD25+ and CD4+CD25- T cells were purified f rom cord blood of term infants (CB) and adult peripheral blood (PB) by autoMACS,and stimulated with PDB plus ionomycin.After 45 hours of culture,cells were d etected for expression of CD69 and CD25 by flow cytometry,and the supernatants were measured for 7 kinds of cytokines by Luminex.RESULTS:CD4+CD25+ T cells from both CB and PB proliferated comparably with CD4+CD25- T cells when stimulated with PDB plus ionomycin.A fter 45 hours of culture,however,the CD4+CD25+ T cells underwent a tendenc y of cell death.Expression of CD25 was further upregulated when CD25+ cells w ere activated.Under stimulation of PDB plus ionomycin,both CD4+CD25+ and C D4+CD25- T cells in PB secreted high levels of IFN-γ,IL-2 and TNF-α,with CD25+ cells secreted much higher level of IL-5,IL-4 and IL-10 than those in CD25- cells;CD4+CD25+ and CD4+CD25- T cells in CB also secreted high level of IL-2 and TNF-α but much lower level of IFN-γ than those in PB,and no secretion of IL-5,IL-4 and IL-10 was observed.CONCLUSION:CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells don't have an i nstinctive defection in IL-2 secretion,otherwise there may be a different TCR signaling pattern in CD4+CD25+ T cells from traditional T cells.The CD4+C D25+ T cells in cord blood have not fully matured in function. |
