Ex vivostimulation of cord blood mononuclear cells by dexamethasone and interleukin-7 results in the maturation of interferon-γ-secreting effector memory T cells

Abstract: SummaryThe effects of dexamethasone phosphate and interleukin-7 upon the proliferation of T-cells and the production of interferon-g g g g in the newborn's cord blood mononuclear cell cultures were studied. The capability of dexamethasone to enhance T-cell proliferation induced by anti-CD3 with interleukin-7 in some newborn cord blood mononuclear cell cultures was identified. Dexamethasone suppressed production of interferon-g g g g in 68-h cell cultures stimulated with anti-CD3 both in the presence of interle… Show more

“…However, 72 h of incubation resulted in elevated background IFN-␥ production such that naïve T cells could have been primed (29). IL-7 and dexamethasone treatment of cord blood cells causes maturation of T cells into effector memory cells (46). IL-7 also promotes transition of T effectors to T memory cells, at least in the mouse (27).…”

“…Then, the cells were stained with fluorescent conjugates of antibodies to the molecules of CD4 (Sorbent, Russia), CD45RO, CD196 (CCR6) (BioLegend), and CD197 (CCR7) (eBioscience, USA) and fixated with 4% paraformaldehyde. The membranes were permeabilized with 0.1% saponin followed by cell staining for cytokines using conjugates of antibodies to IFN-g and IL-17A (eBioscience), as described previously [ 21 ]. The samples were analyzed using a flow cytometer FacsCanto II (BD Biosciences, USA), aiming at evaluating the number of IFN-g and IL-17A producers in CD4 + , CD4 + CD45RO + , and CD4 + CD45RO + CSR6 + CCR7 – cells.…”

“…In addition to playing a critical role in peripheral immune homeostasis [9] , [14] , [15] , [16] , [17] , [18] and the development and maintenance of T-cell memory, [19] , [20] IL-7 also plays an important role in the activation of CD8 T-cells in response to foreign antigen. IL-7 independently stimulates CD8 T-cell proliferation, [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] and potentiates cytolytic activity [25] , [26] , [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] by enhancing production of IFN-γ following TCR stimulation [32] , [33] and by inducing accumulation of intracellular perforin. [34] , [35] Given the important role IL-7 plays in CD8 T-cell responses, decreased IL-7 signaling would be expected to result in impaired cell mediated immunity and inefficient control of viral pathogens including HIV.…”
