Toxoplasma gondii Induces B7-2 Expression through Activation of JNK Signal Transduction

Abstract: Toxoplasma gondii is a globally distributed parasite pathogen that infects virtually all warm-blooded animals. A hallmark of immunity to acute infection is the production of gamma interferon (IFN-␥) and interleukin-12 (IL-12), followed by a protective T cell response that is critical for parasite control. Naïve T cell activation requires both T-cell receptor (TCR) stimulation and the engagement of costimulatory receptors. Because of their important function in activating T cells, the expression of costimulator… Show more

“…CPS -invasion of tumor-associated myeloid cells activated these cell types in the TME, and could represent the predominant source of co-stimulation and IL12 production within the pancreatic tumor microenvironment. Our results in pancreatic tumor-bearing mice parallels recent results observed in naïve mice and ovarian cancer-bearing mice highlighting the critical importance of myeloid cell invasion by Toxoplasma in stimulating up-regulation of co-stimulatory molecules (20, 23, 50), and activation of T-cell immunity (20). …”

“…Additionally, neither Wh3-Mφ nor Wh6-Mφ could up-regulate CD80 or CD86 expression, which differs from the reports stating that both molecules, or only CD80/CD86 expression, were up-regulated in Toxoplasma -infected cells [19,23]. This discrepancy might be the result of different cell types and parasite genotypes used in the studies.…”

“…To isolate and differentiate BMDM, cells were treated with ACK lysis buffer (Invitrogen), centrifuged, and resuspended in D-10 media, which consists of Dulbecco’s modified Eagle medium (DMEM) supplemented with 2mM L-glutamine, 100 units /mL penicillin-streptomycin, 10% heat-inactivated FBS, and 10% media collected from the supernatant of CMG 12–14 cells ectopically expressing recombinant mouse macrophage colony stimulating factor (M-CSF). 30 BMDM were cultured at 37°C in a humidified incubator with 5% CO 2 . BMDM were dissociated using cell dissociation buffer (Invitrogen) on day 7, and seeded on the tissue culture plates (Olympus Plastics) in fresh D-10 culture media.…”
