Blocking CD40 Alleviates Th1 and Th17 Cell Responses in Elastin Peptide-Induced Murine Emphysema
PURPOSE: To investigate the role of the CD40-CD40 ligand (CD40L) pathway in the regulation of Th1, Th17, and regulatory T (Treg)-cell responses in an elastin peptide (EP)-induced autoimmune emphysema mouse model. METHODS: BALB/c mice were transnasally treated with EP on day 0, injected intravenously...

description | PURPOSE: To investigate the role of the CD40-CD40 ligand (CD40L) pathway in the regulation of Th1, Th17, and regulatory T (Treg)-cell responses in an elastin peptide (EP)-induced autoimmune emphysema mouse model. METHODS: BALB/c mice were transnasally treated with EP on day 0, injected intravenously with anti-CD40 antibody via the tail vein on day 33, and sacrificed on day 40. The severity of emphysema was evaluated by determining the mean linear intercept (MLI) and destructive index (DI) from lung sections. The proportions of myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) and Th1, Th17, and Treg cells in the blood, spleen, and lungs were determined via flow cytometry. The levels of the cytokines interleukin (IL)-6, IL-17, interferon (IFN)-γ, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β were detected via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Ifnγ, IL17a, Rorγt and Foxp3 transcription levels were detected via polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS: CD40(+) mDCs accumulated in the lungs of EP-stimulated mice. Blocking the CD40-CD40L pathway with an anti-CD40 antibody alleviated Th1 and Th17 responses; increased the proportion of Treg cells; decreased MLI and DI; reduced the levels of cytokines IL-6, IL-17, and IFN-γ as well as the transcription levels of Ifnγ, IL17a, and Rorγt; and upregulated the expression of TGF-β and Foxp3. CONCLUSION: The CD40-CD40L pathway could play a critical role in Th1, Th17 and Treg cell dysregulation in EP-mediated emphysema and could be a potential therapeutic target. |
