The threshold for autoimmune T cell killing is influenced by B7-1

Abstract

The concept that naive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells require co-stimulatory signals for activation and proliferation is well documented. Less clear is the need for co-stimulation during the effector phase of the T cell response. Here we examined the influence of B7-1 (CD80) during the effector phase of an autoimmune response to pancreatic islets using transgenic mouse lines which expressed B7-1 in either all or only some of their beta cells ("confluent" or "patchy" RIP-B7-1 mice). Transgenic expression of B7-1 in normal mouse islets that co-expressed the pro-inflammatory cytokine, IL-2, resulted in early spontaneous autoimmunity. Islets with IL-2 and "confluent" B7-1 expression were destroyed whereas islets with IL-2 and "patchy" B7-1 expression showed selective killing of the B7-1+ beta cells. Islet-reactive T cells, circulating in the RIP-B7-1/IL-2 mice, rejected syngeneic islet grafts, but only if these expressed B7-1. Introduction of the B7-1 transgene into the nonobese diabetic (NOD) genetic background likewise resulted in early spontaneous autoimmunity, but splenocytes from the diabetic animals could only transfer diabetes to NOD scid recipients that expressed B7-1 on their beta cells. In both these transgenic models, therefore, ...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.
