Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are severe chronic lung diseases characterized by an increased deposition of extracellular matrix in the lung interstitial space, leading to a thickening of the alveolar walls and impairment of the gas exchange. One of the most common entities in this category is idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) with a mean survival time of 2 to 3 years from diagnosis. Until now, there is no curative therapy available and the symptomatic anti- inflammatory treatment and oxygen supplementation cannot prevent the development of the end stage pulmonary fibrosis. The chemokine receptor CCR2 is important for leukocyte recruitment to inflamed tissues through interaction with CCL2 (MCP-1). The blockade of the CCR2/CCL2 pathway attenuated the development of pulmonary fibrosis in mouse models. However, CCR2+ T-lymphocytes acquired regulatory functions in experimental arthritis during the course of disease. Therefore, it is unknown whether CCR2+ T cells are involved in the pathogenesis of IPF or, on the contrary, represent an unsuccessful effort of the immune system to limit the disease. Observations in paediatric patients with different forms of ILDs suggested a role for CCR2+ T cells in pulmonary fibrosis. To characterize these T cells, flow cytometric studies were performed using the bleomycin mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis. The kinetic of CCR2+ T cells in BALF, lung tissue, and spleen following intratracheal administration of bleomycin (BLM) was assessed at time points between day 3 and day 21. To determine, if the constellation of naïve, central memory and effector memory T cells changes after BLM treatment, and to which of these subtypes CCR2+ T cells belong to, the cells were additionally stained for CD62L and CD44. For further characterization of CCR2+ T cells, chemokine receptor co-expression with CCR2 was investigated at the time point of the maximal presence of CCR2+ T cells. Total T cell numbers increased in BAL and lung tissue but not in spleen. Percentages of CD62LlowCD44hi effector memory T cells increased in lung tissue in the early phase of BLM induced fibrosis, while the CD62LhiCD44low naïve T cell population decreased. The percentage of CCR2+ T cells increased following BLM treatment with a maximum on day 12. The majority of CCR2+CD4+ T cells showed a Tem phenotype. CCR3, CCR4, CCR6, CXCR4, and CXCR5 expressing cells increased within the pulmonary CD4+ T cell population following bleomycin treatment. Among CD8+ T cells from treated mice, CCR5, CCR6, and CXCR5 positive cells were increased. CCR7 was highly co-expressed with CCR2 in saline and bleomycin treated mice, whereas co-expression of CCR3, CCR4, CCR6 and CXCR5 increased significantly in treated mice. The results indicate an activation of pulmonary T cell populations following bleomycin treatment. CCR2+CD4+ T cells probably take part on this T cell response as they exhibit an effector memory phenotype and increase following BLM treatment. In contrast, the stable percentages of the different T cell subtypes in spleens gave no hint for a systemic T cell reaction. The pattern of chemokine receptor expression argues against a Th1 polarization and towards a Th2, Th17 or TFH polarization of CCR2+ T cells.

Background: The fetal immune system is characterized by a Th2 bias but it is unclear how the Th2 predominance is established. Natural killer T (NKT) cells are a rare subset of T cells with immune regulatory functions and are already activated in utero. To test the hypothesis that NKT cells are part of the regulatory network that sets the fetal Th2 predominance, percentages of Vα24(+)Vβ11(+) NKT cells expressing Th1/Th2-related chemokine receptors (CKR) were assessed in cord blood. Furthermore, IL-4 and IFN-γ secreting NKT cells were quantified within the single CKR(+) subsets. Results: Cord blood NKT cells expressed the Th2-related CCR4 and CCR8 at significantly higher frequencies compared to peripheral blood NKT cells from adults, while CXCR3+ and CCR5+ cord blood NKT cells (Th1-related) were present at lower percentages. Within CD4negCD8neg (DN) NKT cells, the frequency of IL-4 producing NKT cells was significantly higher in cord blood, while frequencies of IFN-γ secreting DN NKT cells tended to be lower. A further subanalysis showed that the higher percentage of IL-4 secreting DN NKT cells was restricted to CCR3+, CCR4+, CCR5+, CCR6+, CCR7+, CCR8+ and CXCR4+ DN subsets in cord blood. This resulted in significantly decreased IFN-γ /IL-4 ratios of CCR3+, CCR6+ and CCR8+ cord blood DN NKT cells. Sequencing of VA24AJ18 T cell receptor (TCR) transcripts in sorted cord blood Vα24Vβ11 cells confirmed the invariant TCR alpha-chain ruling out the possibility that these cells represent an unusual subset of conventional T cells. Conclusions: Despite the heterogeneity of cord blood NKT cells, we observed a clear Th2-bias at the phenotypic and functional level which was mainly found in the DN subset. Therefore, we speculate that NKT cells are important for the initiation and control of the fetal Th2 environment which is needed to maintain tolerance towards self-antigens as well as non-inherited maternal antigens.

Die direkte Rekrutierung von Effektor-Leukozyten aus dem peripheren Blut in interstitielle Gewebe wird in Teilen von chemotaktischen Zytokinen (Chemokinen) und ihren Rezeptoren kontrolliert. Diesen Schritt zu blockieren stellt ein wichtiges Instrument der Kontrolle einer Entzündungsreaktion dar. Das proinflammatorische Chemokin CCL5/RANTES ist ein chemotaktisches Agens das über die CCR1-, CCR3- und CCR5-Rezeptoren von „Gedächtnis“-CD4+ T-Zellen, Monozyten und Eosinophile wirkt. Es wird von vielen Gewebetypen im Laufe einer Entzündungsreaktion produziert. Die CCR1- und CCR5-Aktivierung konnte als wichtiger Faktor für die Entstehung von akuten Abstoßungsreaktionen mittels in-vitro und in-vivo Experimenten identifiziert werden. Durch metRANTES, dem um ein Methionin verlängerten CCL5-Protein welches einen potenten CCR1 und CCR5 Rezeptor-Antagonisten darstellt, konnte eine Abstoßungsreaktion effektiv reduziert und in Kombination mit anderen Substanzen fast völlig unterdrückt werden. Weitere Modifizierungen am metRANTES-Protein verändern die für CCL5 charakteristische Multimerisierung und seine GAG-Bindungskapazität. Das „protein engineering“ genannte Verbinden eines Proteins mit einem GPI-Anker bietet die Möglichkeit, durch Reintegration in die Oberflächenmembranen unterschiedlicher Gewebe, Proteine an definierte Lokalisationen zu bringen. Dort können sie, dank der Fähigkeit, sich in die Membranen anderer Zellen wieder einzufügen und die ursprüngliche Funktion wieder anzunehmen (Premkumar, Fukuoka et al. 2001; Djafarzadeh, Mojaat et al. 2004), längere Zeit als soluble Chemokine verbleiben. In dieser Arbeit wurden unterschiedliche CCL5-Analoga, sowie ein virales Chemokin-Analogon, um eine GPI-kodierende Sequenz erweitert und in einen Expressionsvektor subkloniert. Mittels Transformation wurden sie in Chinese Hamster Ovarial-Zellen (CHO-Zellen) exprimiert. Ihre Expression an der Zelloberfläche konnte dank der FACS-Analyse ermittelt werden und in einem gleichen Schritt wurde die Fähigkeit verschiedener anti-RANTES Antikörper, an die N-terminal veränderten Proteine zu binden, analysiert. Diese membranverankerten Proteine wurden in höchstmöglicher Konzentration aus der Einheitsmembran extrahiert und in einem weiteren Schritt durch unterschiedliche Chromatographieverfahren isoliert. Dabei wurde die Heparin-Chromatographie gefolgt von einer Size-exclusion Chromatographie als Methode mit der besten Reinheit und Ausbeute identifiziert. Zuletzt wurden die gereinigten, GPI-verbundenen CCL5-Analoga mit „einfachen“ CHO-Zellen, sowie humanen mikrovaskulären Endothelzellen inkubiert und ihre Reintegration an der Zelloberfläche bewiesen. Die in dieser Arbeit hergestellten GPI-gebundenen RANTES-Antagonisten eröffnen die Möglichkeit, in weiteren in-vitro, sowie in-vivo Versuchen, die biologische Aktivität dieses Chemokins gezielt zu blockieren oder (in einem analogen Verfahren) zu verstärken. Dadurch kann die Bedeutung des RANTES-Proteins in der Transplantatabstoßung, sowie in weiteren Entzündungsreaktionen herausgearbeitet werden. Durch Perfusion des Organs vor der Transplantation mit dem GPI-verbudenen Chemokin-basierenden Antagonisten, erhofft man sich die Integration des GPI-Ankers in die mikrovaskuläre Endothelialzellmembran und somit die Präsentation des Antagonisten für die zirkulierenden Leukozyten. Ein solches Vorgehen könnte dem Gefäßsystem während der kritischen ersten Tage nach der Transplantation Schutz bieten und somit signifikant die akute vaskuläre Verletzung, die mit einer Verschlechterung der Überlebensprognose verbunden ist, vermindern (Notohamiprodjo, Djafarzadeh et al. 2005).

Background: Interstitial lung diseases (ILD) are chronic inflammatory disorders leading to pulmonary fibrosis. Monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1) promotes collagen synthesis and deletion of the MCP-1 receptor CCR2 protects from pulmonary fibrosis in ILD mouse models. We hypothesized that pulmonary MCP-1 and CCR2(+) T cells accumulate in pediatric ILD and are related to disease severity. Methods: Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid was obtained from 25 children with ILD and 10 healthy children. Levels of pulmonary MCP-1 and Th1/Th2-associated cytokines were quantified at the protein and the mRNA levels. Pulmonary CCR2(+), CCR4(+), CCR3(+), CCR5(+) and CXCR3(+) T cells were quantified by flow-cytometry. Results: CCR2(+) T cells and MCP-1 levels were significantly elevated in children with ILD and correlated with forced vital capacity, total lung capacity and ILD disease severity scores. Children with lung fibrosis had significantly higher MCP-1 levels and CCR2(+) T cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid compared to non-fibrotic children. Conclusion: The results indicate that pulmonary CCR2(+) T cells and MCP-1 contribute to the pathogenesis of pediatric ILD and might provide a novel target for therapeutic strategies.

Hintergrund und Fragestellung: Die Konfrontation des Immunsystems mit einem definierten Antigen löst eine spezifische Immunantwort aus. Die daran beteiligten TH-Zellen können anhand der von ihnen sezernierten Zytokine in TH1- und TH2-Zellen sowie in weitere Subtypen differenziert werden. Dabei sind TH1-Zellen durch die Synthese von IFN-g charakterisiert, während TH2-Zellen vorwiegend Interleukin-4 produzieren. Die gezielte Auswanderung von TH-Zellen in inflammatorische Gewebe wird unter anderem durch Chemokinrezeptoren, welche chemotaktische Zytokine (sog. Chemokine) binden, gesteuert. TH1-Zellen exprimieren bevorzugt CXCR3 und CCR5, TH2-Zellen dagegen CCR3 und CCR4. TH-Zellen sind an der Pathogenese von Typ I Allergien entscheidend beteiligt. Für die Entwicklung der hinsichtlich der Ausbildung von Typ I Allergien protektiven TH1-Zellen scheint die Auseinandersetzung des Immunsystems mit mikrobiellen Antigenen in der allerfrühesten Kindheit notwendig zu sein. Ziel der vorliegenden Arbeit war es, in einem Pilotprojekt an einem Normalkollektiv zweijähriger Kinder das Expressionsmuster oben genannter Chemokinrezeptoren auf peripheren TH-Zellen zu analysieren. In einem zweiten Schritt sollte untersucht werden, ob ein positiver Zusammenhang zwischen TH2-assoziierten Chemokinrezeptoren und der Familienanamnese hinsichtlich atopischer Erkrankungen, der klinischen Diagnose einer atopischen Dermatitis und anderen in der Allergiediagnostik eingesetzten Parametern besteht, oder sich ein negativer Zusammenhang zwischen den TH1-assoziierten Chemokinrezeptoren und oben genannten Parametern zeigen lässt. Darüber hinaus sollte überprüft werden, ob zwischen der Endotoxinexposition, als Proxy für die mikrobielle Exposition in den ersten Lebensmonaten, und dem Expressionsmuster der Chemokinrezeptoren ein Zusammenhang nachgewiesen werden kann. Ergebnisse:Die Chemokinrezeptoren CCR4, CCR5 sowie CXCR3 waren bei allen Probanden nachweisbar. CCR3 konnte bei acht von 37, IFN-g bei 33 von 42 untersuchten Probanden nachgewiesen werden. IL-4 war nicht nachweisbar. Es bestand ein positiver Trend in der Korrelation zwischen der mRNA-Expression von IFN-g und den Chemokinrezeptoren CCR5 (r=0,571) sowie CXCR3 (r=0,386). Ebenso zeigte sich ein positiver Trend in der Korrelation zwischen CCR5 und CXCR3 (r=0,273). Diese Zusammenhänge waren nicht statistisch signifikant. Dagegen korrelierte die CCR5 mRNA-Expression hochsignifikant (p=0,001) sowie die CCR4 mRNA-Expression grenzwertig signifikant (p=0,046) mit dem Endotoxingehalt in der Muttermatratze der Probanden. Schlussfolgerungen: ·In unstimulierten peripheren T-Helferzellen zweijähriger Kinder ist die Quantifizierung der Chemokinzeptoren CCR4, CCR5 sowie CXCR3 mit Hilfe der real-time RT-PCR möglich. IFN-g ist in der überwiegenden Anzahl der untersuchten Probanden nachweisbar, CCR3 nur bei wenigen, IL-4 bei keinem der Probanden. ·Die mRNA-Expression TH1-/TH2-assoziierter Chemokinrezeptoren in unstimulierten, peripheren T-Helferzellen ist für die Differenzierung von Kindern mit von Kindern ohne atopische Dermatitis nicht hilfreich. ·Dagegen scheint die mRNA-Expression von CCR5 als möglichem Marker einer TH1-Antwort mit dem Symptomenkomplex wheezing zu korrelieren. Dieser Befund muss in Studien mit großen Fallzahlen überprüft werden. Wheezing ist am häufigsten mit viralen Infektionen vergesellschaftet. Die weitere Nachuntersuchung der Kinder im Schulalter wird zeigen, bei welchen Kindern sich dennoch Asthma manifestiert. ·Die perinatale Endotoxin-Exposition ist mit einer erhöhten CCR5 mRNA-Expression peripherer TH-Zellen assoziiert. ·Damit deuten die Befunde auf eine Verwertbarkeit der CCR5 mRNA-Expression als TH1-Marker in unstimulierten peripheren TH-Zellen hin.

Memory T cells display phenotypic heterogeneity. Surface antigens previously regarded as exclusive markers of naive T cells, such as L-selectin ( CD62L), can also be detected on some memory T cells. Moreover, a fraction of CD45RO(+) ( positive for the short human isoform of CD45) memory T cells reverts to the CD45RA(+) ( positive for the long human isoform of CD45) phenotype. We analyzed patients with biopsy-proven localized Wegener's granulomatosis (WG) (n = 5), generalized WG (n = 16) and age- and sex-matched healthy controls ( n = 13) to further characterize memory T cells in WG. The cell-surface expression of CD45RO, CD45RA, CD62L, CCR3, CCR5 and CXCR3 was determined on blood-derived T cells by four-color flow cytometric analysis. The fractions of CCR5(+) and CCR3(+) cells within the CD4(+) CD45RO(+) and CD8(+) CD45RO(+) memory T cell populations were significantly expanded in localized and generalized WG. The mean percentage of Th1-type CCR5 expression was higher in localized WG. Upregulated CCR5 and CCR3 expression could also be detected on a fraction of CD45RA(+) T cells. CD62L expression was seen on approximately half of the memory T cell populations expressing chemokine receptors. This study demonstrates for the first time that expression of the inducible inflammatory chemokine receptors CCR5 and CCR3 on CD45RO(+) memory T cells, as well as on CD45RA(+) T cells ('revertants'), contributes to phenotypic heterogeneity in an autoimmune disease, namely WG. Upregulated CCR5 and CCR3 expression suggests that the cells belong to the effector memory T cell population. CCR5 and CCR3 expression on CD4(+) and CD8(+) memory T cells indicates a potential to respond to chemotactic gradients and might be important in T cell migration contributing to granuloma formation and vasculitis in WG.
