Abstract

CD4+ T cells lacking the costimulatory molecule CD28 have been described both in elderly individuals and in chronic inflammatory disorders, one being rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We, in this study, provide a comprehensive characterization of cell surface markers on and function of such CD28nullCD4+ T cells, as well as correlations with clinical parameters. We conclude that of all surface markers associated with these cells, only CD57 and CD11b are expressed on the majority of them. This CD28null population occurred in one-third of patients with RA and was independent of clinical characteristics. The population was persistent and expanded in peripheral blood, but was excluded from the joint in most patients. Functionally, CD28nullCD4+ T cells were potent effector memory cells with regard to their proliferation and cytokine-secretion profiles. This capacity correlated with a hitherto unpublished surface phenotype, the cells being uniformly CCR7- and CD43high. Moreover, a new terminally differentiated CD45RA+CCR7- population of CD4+ T cells was identified. We would like to suggest that in the unbalanced immune system of patients with autoimmune disease and chronic infection an expanded CD28nullCD4+ T-cell population able to secrete ...Continue Reading

Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune diseases occur as a result of an attack by the immune system on the body’s own tissues resulting in damage and dysfunction. There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.

Autoimmune Disease Therapy

In autoimmune diseases, the immune system responds and attacks self-antigens and damages or impairs the function of the tissues. The treatment for autoimmune diseases often involves immunosuppressive agents, but newer treatments are being investigated. Discover the latest research on autoimmune disease therapy here.
