获得性免疫缺陷综合征(AIDS)是一种由人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)引起的,以全身免疫系统受到严重损害为特征的传染性疾病。从目前HIV-1的流行趋势来看,HIV-1 C亚型已经成为全球最主要的流行株之一,因此,针对HIV-1 C亚型的疫苗设计颇为重要。gp120作为HIV-1的包膜糖蛋白,能够诱导广泛的中和抗体反应,中和进入机体的病毒粒子,阻止病毒早期感染,所以本实验选取HIV-1 C亚型密码子优化的gp120作为免疫原进行研究。目前的疫苗研究中,腺病毒载体是较理想的病毒载体之一,具有安全性好、外源基因容纳量大、感染效率高、操作简便等优点。我们以复制缺陷型腺病毒为载体,构建了表达HIV-1 C亚型密码子优化的gp120的重组腺病毒vAd-gp120,经Western Blot方法检测到了gp120蛋白的表达。树突状细胞(DC)是已知最强的抗原呈递细胞(APC),也是目前发现的唯一能够刺激初始型T细胞增殖的细胞。经抗原致敏的DC可通过MHC-Ⅰ、MHC-Ⅱ途径递呈抗原,并激活T细胞,从而激发体内的体液免疫和特异性细胞免疫反应。我们利用Amaxa系统将HIV-1 C亚型gp120基因转入人外周血单核细胞来源的DC,构建了以DC为载体的治疗性疫苗,并对其功能进行初步研究,发现负载gp120的DC能够显著刺激淋巴细胞的增殖、增强CD8T细胞表面活化分子CD25的表达以及促进CD8T细胞分泌++IFN-γ,为下一步DC治疗性疫苗的体内研究奠定了基础。

本论文主要由3 个相对独立的部分组成:中国恒河猴单核细胞来源的树突 状细胞的表型及功能研究;外周血DC 亚群在SIVmac239 感染的中国恒河猴中 数量及细胞因子的变化以及急性感染期SIVmac239 对中国恒河猴外周血DC 亚 群的凋亡和免疫表型的影响。 非人灵长类动物是人类的近亲,由于在组织结构、免疫、生理和代谢等诸 多方面与人类高度近似,科学界较普遍地利用非人灵长类作为动物模型来进行 艾滋病(AIDS)的发病机制和疫苗研究。中国恒河猴发病缓慢,更适合于HIV 感染的相关研究。在本研究中,我们在体外成功培养了中国恒河猴单核细胞来 源的树突状细胞(monocyte derived dendritic cells,MDDC),并测定其表型和免 疫刺激功能。通过GM-CSF 和IL-4 共同刺激培养单核细胞6 天以后便获得了未 成熟MDDC,随后加入IL-1β、PGE2、LPS 和TNF-α 联合刺激MDDC 成熟。 成熟的MDDC 上调了共刺激分子和CD83 的表达,具有很强的刺激T 淋巴细胞 增殖的能力并分泌大量的IL-12。本研究为后续的DC 疫苗研究奠定了基础。 我们实验室建立了SIVmac239 感染的中国恒河猴动物模型。以该模型为依 托,我们研究了外周血中DC 亚群在急性感染期以及慢性感染期的数量、表型 及功能变化。DC 作为最重要的连接先天免疫与获得性免疫的抗原递呈细胞, 在AIDS 发病进程中扮演着重要的角色。研究发现AIDS 患者血液和淋巴结中 髓样DC(myeloid DC,mDC)和浆细胞样DC(plasmacytoid DC,pDC)会随 着感染的进程而减少,并且伴随着功能损伤。本论文通过研究发现,中国恒河 猴的DC 亚群数量在感染后尽管波动十分剧烈,但并没有显著性地增加或减少, 中文摘要 2 在后期DC 数量能够回升到正常的范围之类,这种回升不同于印度恒河猴,很 可能是中国恒河猴缓慢发病的原因之一。进一步通过研究体外刺激DC 亚群分 泌的细胞因子,我们发现在急性感染期,pDC 分泌的IFN-α 显著提高,并很可 能刺激mDC 成熟并促进了IL-12 的分泌。早期大量细胞因子的分泌有助于控制 病毒复制,但同时也激起了整个免疫系统的活化,促进了疾病进程。而在整个 感染阶段,IFN-α 与CD4+ T 细胞呈正相关,而与病毒载量呈负相关,表明了 IFN-α 对于延缓疾病进程具有重要的意义。 我们测定了急性感染期DC 亚群受病毒影响而发生的表型变化,发现pDC 更容易受到病毒影响而发生凋亡,这可能与pDC 高表达SIV 受体CD4 和CCR5 有关。在感染过程中,尽管mDC 和pDC 都显著地下调了CD4 表达,而上调了 CCR5 的表达,不过仅发现pDC CD4 的表达与病毒载量呈负相关,而CCR5 的 表达与病毒载量呈正相关。在此过程中DC 亚群都会因为病毒的影响而活化, 继而提高CCR7 的表达。同时无论mDC 还是pDC,其表达的CD80 和CD86 都与病毒载量呈正相关。在早期感染中,DC 的活化促使整个免疫系统针对病 毒发挥免疫反应,对于控制疾病发展具有重要意义。

CD83 is a transmembrane glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily and a surface marker for fully matured dendritic cells (DCs) in humans and mice. In teleosts, DC-like cells and their molecular markers are largely unknown. In this report, we described the identification and expressional analysis of a CD83 homologue, SmCD83, from turbot Scophthalmus maximus. The open reading frame of SmCD83 is 639 bp, which is preceded by a S'-untranslated region (UTR) of 87 bp and followed by a 3'-UTR of 1111 bp. The SmCD83 gene is 4716 bp in length, which contains five exons and four introns. The deduced amino acid sequence of SmCD83 shares 40-50% overall identities with the CD83 of several fish species. Like typical CD83, SmCD83 possesses an Ig-like extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic domain. The conserved disulfide bond-forming cysteine residues and the N-linked glycosylation sites that are preserved in CD83 are also found in SmCD83. Expressional analysis showed that constitutive expression of SmCD83 was high in gill, blood, spleen, muscle, and kidney and low in heart and liver. Bacterial infection and poly(I:C) treatment enhanced SmCD83 expression in kidney in time-dependent manners. Likewise, bacterial challenge caused significant induction of SmCD83 expression in cultured macrophages. Vaccination of turbot with a bacterin and a purified recombinant subunit vaccine-induced significant SmCD83 expression during the first week following vaccination. These results demonstrate that SmCD83 expression correlates with microbial challenge and antigen stimulation, which suggests the possibility that there may exist in turbot DC-like antigen-presenting cells that express SmCD83 upon activation by antigen uptake. In addition, these results also suggest that SmCD83 may serve as a marker for activated macrophages in turbot. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

therapeutic drugs, vaccines and mechanisms of human diseases. Little is known about the normal levels of leukocyte subpopulations of Chinese rhesus macaques. To obtain these data, 100 blood samples from Chinese rhesus macaques were collected. The normal range of major leukocyte subpopulations, such as T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, monocytes, myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) and plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), were quantitatively analyzed by flow cytometry through BD trucount tubes. The influence of age and sex on the cell counts of leukocyte subpopulations was analyzed. The counts of CD3+ T cells, CD3+CD4+ T cells, CD3+CD8+ T cells and B cells decreased with age, but those of monocytes, mDCs and pDCs had no significant correlation with age. Significant differences existed in the cell counts of most leukocyte subpopulations between the male and female groups except pDCs. Furthermore the values of the females were higher than those of the males. The study provided basic information about the leukocyte subpopulations of Chinese rhesus macaques, and it may be valuable for immunobiological study of Chinese rhesus macaques.
