Specific MDR1 P-glycoprotein blockade inhibits human alloimmune T cell activation in vitro.
MDR1 P-glycoprotein (P-gp), the multidrug resistance-associated transmembrane transporter, is physiologically expressed by human peripheral immune cells, but its role in cell-mediated immunity remains poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate a novel role for P-gp in alloantigen-dependent human T cell activation. The pharmacologic P-gp inhibitor tamoxifen (1-10 microM) and the MDR1 P-gp-specific ...
متن کاملHistidine-rich glycoprotein blocks T cell rosette formation and modulates both T cell activation and immunoregulation.
Histidine-rich glycoprotein (HRGP) is a plasma and platelet protein with undefined function in vivo. It has been reported to inhibit rosette formation between murine T cells and erythrocytes. We have shown that HRGP binds specifically to human T lymphocytes but not sheep erythrocytes and have demonstrated a 56-kDa HRGP-binding protein on the T cell surface which is distinct from the CD2 sheep e...
متن کاملBim regulates alloimmune-mediated vascular injury through effects on T-cell activation and death.
OBJECTIVE Bim is a proapoptotic Bcl-2 protein known to downregulate immune responses and to also be required for antigen-induced T-cell activation. However, it is not known how the effect of Bim on these offsetting processes determines the outcome of allogeneic immune responses. We have defined the role of Bim in regulating alloantigen-driven T-cell responses in a model of vascular rejection. ...
متن کاملExpression of P-glycoprotein in adult T-cell leukemia cells.
We have examined the expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) in adult T-cell leukemia (ATL) samples from 25 patients. Based on immunoblotting with a monoclonal antibody against P-gp, C219, 8 of 20 ATL patients were P-gp positive at the initial presentation. All 6 patients at the relapsed stage were P-gp positive, and refractory to chemotherapy. The expression of MDR1 mRNA in P-gp-positive ATL cells...
متن کاملDifferential activation of T cells by natural antigen peptide analogues: influence on autoimmune and alloimmune in vivo T cell responses.
Recent studies using synthetic altered peptide ligands (Analogues) have led to the fine dissection of TCR-mediated T cell functions elicited by Ag recognition. Certain Analogues behave as full agonists of the antigenic peptide while others are partial agonists in that they only trigger selected T cell functions. Additionally, peptide Analogues can behave as antagonists by inhibiting functions o...
