Expression on LPS-Stimulated Monocytes and the Effect of CD 80 and CD 86 Blockade on IL-4 and IFN-γ Production in Nonatopic Bronchial Asthma
semanticscholar(2004)
摘要
CD80 and CD86 seem to play an important role in the allergen-induced secretion of interleukin (IL)-5 and IL-13. Up to now, the expressions of CD80 (B7.1) and CD86 (B7.2) on monocytes and the kinetics of the expression of these molecules on lipopolysaccharide-stimulated monocytes in nonatopic asthma have not been defined. Using monoclonal antibodies, we have compared the expressions of CD80 (B7.1) and CD86 (B7.2) on the monocytes of healthy persons and nonatopic asthmatic patients. We have also assessed the effect of CD80 and CD86 inactivation on IL-4 and interferon (IFN)-γ production in nonatopic asthmatics and healthy subjects. We found that a low expression of CD80 (1.64+0.65 vs. 3.53+1.43%) and a moderate expression of CD86 (41.25+ 13.4 vs. 49.46+11.49%) on the studied monocytes were characteristic for asthma. In nonatopic asthma patients inactivation of CD80 or CD86 blockade significantly reduced IFN-γ production by T lymphocytes (p<0.02; p<0.03). In both the studied groups, anti-CD80 antibodies did not diminish T lymphocyte production of IL-4. However, anti-CD86 antibodies significantly (p<0.04) reduced the IL-4 concentration in culture supernatants. Our results confirm that both the CD80 and CD86 molecules play an important role in the maintenance and amplification of the inflammatory process. It suggests that in the inflammatory process that occurs in nonatopic bronchial asthma, Th1 as well as Th2 lymphocytes are equally important.
