    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Variants of concern (VOCs) such as Delta and Omicron have developed, which continue to spread the pandemic. It has been reported that these VOCs reduce vaccine efficacy and evade many neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) that target the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the glycosylated spike (S) protein, which consists of the S1 and S2 subunits. Therefore, identification of optimal target regions is required to obtain neutralizing antibodies that can counter VOCs. Such regions have not been identified to date. We obtained 2 mAbs, NIBIC-71 and 7G7, using peripheral blood mononuclear cells derived from volunteers who recovered from COVID-19. Both mAbs had neutralizing activity against wild-type SARS-CoV-2 and Delta, but not Omicron. NIBIC-71 binds to the RBD, whereas 7G7 recognizes the N-terminal domain of the S1. In particular, 7G7 inhibited S1/S2 cleavage but not the interaction between the S protein and angiotensin-converting enzyme 2; it suppressed viral entry. Thus, the efficacy of a neutralizing mAb targeting inhibition of S1/2 cleavage was demonstrated. These results suggest that neutralizing mAbs targeting blockade of S1/S2 cleavage are likely to be cross-reactive against various VOCs.

    Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 240, 108233, 108233, 108233, 2022, [Peer-reviewed], [International Magazine]
    English, Scientific journal, Antibody therapy is effective for treating infectious diseases. Due to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the rise of drug-resistant bacteria, rapid development of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) to treat infectious diseases is urgently needed. Using a therapeutic human mAb with the lowest immunogenicity is recommended, because chimera and humanized mAbs are occasionally immunogenic. In order to directly obtain naïve human mAbs, there are three methods: phage display, B cell receptor (BCR) cDNA sequencing of a single cell, and antibody-encoding gene and amino acid sequencing of immortalized cells using memory B cells, which are isolated from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy, vaccinated, infected, or recovered individuals. After screening against the antigen and performing neutralization assays, a human neutralizing mAb is constructed from the antibody-encoding DNA sequences of these memory B cells. This review describes examples of obtaining human neutralizing mAbs against various infectious diseases using these methods. However, a few of these mAbs have been approved for therapy. Therefore, antigen characterization and evaluation of neutralization activity in vitro and in vivo are indispensable for the development of therapeutic mAbs. These results will accelerate the development of antibody drug as therapeutic agents.

    English, Scientific journal, Abstract

    ADAMTS13 (a disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type-1 motif 13)-related bleeding disorder has been frequently observed as a life-threatening clinical complication in patients carrying a circulatory assist device. Currently, treatment modalities for the bleeding disorder are very limited and not always successful. To address the unmet medical need, we constructed humanized antibodies of mouse anti-ADAMTS13 antibody A10 (mA10) by using complementarity-determining region (CDR) grafting techniques with human antibody frameworks, 8A7 and 16E8. The characteristics of the two humanized A10 antibodies, namely A10/8A7 and A10/16E8, were assessed in vitro and in silico. Among the two humanized A10 antibodies, the binding affinity of A10/16E8 to ADAMTS13 was comparable to that of mA10 and human-mouse chimeric A10. In addition, A10/16E8 largely inhibited the ADAMTS13 activity in vitro. The results indicated that A10/16E8 retained the binding affinity and inhibitory activity of mA10. To compare the antibody structures, we performed antibody structure modeling and structural similarity analysis in silico. As a result, A10/16E8 showed higher structural similarity to mA10, compared with A10/8A7, suggesting that A10/16E8 retains a native structure of mA10 as well as its antigen binding affinity and activity. A10/16E8 has great potential as a therapeutic agent for ADAMTS13-related bleeding disorder.

    English, Scientific journal, Tetanus is a fatal disease caused by tetanus neurotoxin (TeNT). TeNT is composed of a light chain (Lc) and a heavy chain, the latter of which is classified into two domains, N-terminus Hn and C-terminus Hc. Several TeNT-neutralizing antibodies have been reported, but it remains unclear which TeNT domains are involved in neutralization. To further understand the mechanism of these antibodies, we isolated TeNT-reactive human antibody clones from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. We then analyzed the reactivity of the isolated antibody clones to each protein domain and their inhibition of Hc-ganglioside GT1b binding, which is critical for TeNT toxicity. We also investigated the TeNT-neutralizing ability of isolated antibody clones and showed that an Hn-reactive clone protected strongly against TeNT toxicity in mice. Furthermore, combination treatment of Hn-reactive antibody clones with both Hc-reactive and TeNT mix (the mixture of Hc, Hn, and Lc proteins)-reactive antibody clones enhanced the neutralizing effect. These results indicated that antibody clones targeting Hn effectively neutralized TeNT. In addition, the use of a cocktail composed of Hc-, Hn-, and TeNT mix-reactive antibodies provided enhanced protection compared to the use of each antibody alone.

    English, Scientific journal, ABSTRACT
    Viral cell-to-cell spread, a method employed by several viral families for entrance via cell junctions, is highly relevant to the pathogenesis of various viral infections. Cell-to-cell spread of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) is known to depend greatly on envelope glycoprotein E (gE). However, the molecular mechanism by which gE acts in HSV-1 cell-to-cell spread and the mechanisms of cell-to-cell spread by other herpesviruses remain poorly understood. Here, we describe our identification of prohibitin-1 as a novel gE-interacting host cell protein. Ectopic expression of prohibitin-1 increased gE-dependent HSV-1 cell-to-cell spread. As observed with the gE-null mutation, decreased expression or pharmacological inhibition of prohibitin-1 reduced HSV-1 cell-to-cell spread without affecting the yield of virus progeny. Similar effects were produced by pharmacological inhibition of the mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (MAPK/ERK) pathway, wherein prohibitin-1 acts as a protein scaffold and is required for induction of this pathway. Furthermore, artificial activation of the MAPK/ERK pathway restored HSV-1 cell-to-cell spread impaired by the gE-null mutation. Notably, pharmacological inhibition of prohibitins or the MAPK/ERK pathway reduced viral cell-to-cell spread of representative members in all herpesvirus subfamilies. Our results suggest that prohibitin-1 contributes to gE-dependent HSV-1 cell-to-cell spread via the MAPK/ERK pathway and that this mechanism is conserved throughout the Herpesviridae, whereas gE is conserved only in the Alphaherpesvirinae subfamily.


    IMPORTANCE Herpesviruses are ubiquitous pathogens of various animals, including humans. These viruses primarily pass through cell junctions to spread to uninfected cells. This method of cell-to-cell spread is an important pathogenic characteristic of these viruses. Here, we show that the host cell protein prohibitin-1 contributes to HSV-1 cell-to-cell spread via a downstream intracellular signaling cascade, the MAPK/ERK pathway. We also demonstrate that the role of the prohibitin-1-mediated MAPK/ERK pathway in viral cell-to-cell spread is conserved in representative members of every herpesvirus subfamily. This study has revealed a common molecular mechanism of the cell-to-cell spread of herpesviruses.

    English, Scientific journal, The Kg-antigen was first discovered in an investigation of a mother whose infant had haemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN). The antibody against the Kg-antigen is believed to be responsible for HDN. The Kg-antigen is provisionally registered under the number 700045, according to the Red Cell Immunogenetics and Blood Group Terminology. However, the molecular nature of the Kg-antigen has remained a mystery for over 30 years. In this study, a monoclonal antibody against the Kg-antigen and the recombinant protein were developed that allowed for the immunoprecipitation analysis. Immunoprecipitants from the propositus' red blood cell ghosts were subjected to mass spectrometry analysis, and DNA sequence analysis of the genes was also performed. A candidate for the Kg-antigen was molecularly isolated and confirmed to be a determinant of the Kg-antigen by cell transfection and flow cytometry analyses. The Kg-antigen and the genetic mutation were then screened for in a Japanese population. The molecular nature of the Kg-antigen was shown to be RhAG with a Lys164Gln mutation. Kg phenotyping further clarified that 0.22% of the Japanese population studied was positive for the Kg-antigen. These findings provide important information on the Kg-antigen, which has been clinically presumed to give rise to HDN.

    English, Scientific journal,
    Background and Purpose—
    Bone marrow mononuclear cells (BM-MNCs) are a rich source of hematopoietic stem cells and have been widely used in experimental therapies for patients with ischemic diseases. Activation of angiogenesis is believed to be one of major BM-MNC mode of actions, but the essential mechanism by which BM-MNCs activate angiogenesis have hitherto been elusive. The objective of this study is to reveal the mechanism how BM-MNCs activate angiogenesis.




    Methods—
    We have evaluated the effect of direct cell-cell interaction between BM-MNC and endothelial cell on uptake of VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) into endothelial cells in vitro. Cerebral ischemia model was used to evaluate the effects of direct cell-cell interaction with transplanted BM-MNC on endothelial cell at ischemic tissue.




    Results—
    The uptake of VEGF into endothelial cells was increased by BM-MNC, while being inhibited by blockading the gap junction. Low-molecular-weight substance was transferred from BM-MNC into endothelial cells via gap junctions in vivo, followed by increased expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α and suppression of autophagy in endothelial cells. The concentration of glucose in BM-MNC cytoplasm was significantly higher than in endothelial cells, and transfer of glucose homologue from BM-MNC to endothelial cells was observed.




    Conclusions—
    Our findings demonstrated cell-cell interaction via gap junction is the prominent pathway for activation of angiogenesis at endothelial cells after ischemia and provided novel paradigm that energy source supply by stem cell to injured cell is one of the therapeutic mechanisms of cell-based therapy.

    Scientific journal, Abstract
    Immune responses against certain viruses are accompanied by auto-antibody production although the origin of these infection-associated auto-antibodies is unclear. Here, we report that murine γ-herpesvirus 68 (MHV68)-induced auto-antibodies are derived from polyreactive B cells in the germinal center (GC) through the activity of short-lived plasmablasts. The analysis of recombinant antibodies from MHV68-infected mice revealed that about 40% of IgG+ GC B cells were self-reactive, with about half of them being polyreactive. On the other hand, virion-reactive clones accounted for only a minor proportion of IgG+ GC B cells, half of which also reacted with self-antigens. The self-reactivity of most polyreactive clones was dependent on somatic hypermutation (SHM), but this was dispensable for the reactivity of virus mono-specific clones. Furthermore, both virus-mono-specific and polyreactive clones were selected to differentiate to B220lo CD138+ plasma cells (PCs). However, the representation of GC-derived polyreactive clones was reduced and that of virus-mono-specific clones was markedly increased in terminally differentiated PCs as compared to transient plasmablasts. Collectively, our findings demonstrate that, during acute MHV68 infection, self-reactive B cells are generated through SHM and selected for further differentiation to short-lived plasmablasts but not terminally differentiated PCs.

    EBウイルスはB細胞に感染,潜伏し,細胞の形質転換及び腫瘍化を引き起こす.特にEBウイルス遺伝子にコードされる膜タンパク質LMP1は必須の形質転換因子であり,ヒトB細胞においては増殖,分化を誘導する.近年,LMP1の細胞内領域に宿主細胞由来のTRAFが会合することが明らかとなったことより,LMP1がB細胞上に発現する免疫系機能分子CD40の細胞内シグナル伝達経路を利用していることが示唆されてきた.更にLMP1はCD40のシグナルを利用し,巧みにB細胞分化方向を調節することにより,EBウイルスの感染成立に重要な役割を果たしていることが明らかとなってきた, (株)中山書店, Japanese

    科学研究費助成事業
    01 Apr. 2022 - 31 Mar. 2025
    井上 豪; 安居 輝人
    本申請では、還元型(不活性型)の破傷風毒素(TeNT)をクライオ電顕で用いるグリッドに固定化し、低pH下で酸化剤を添加して酸化型(活性型)へと構造変化させた場合の変化の過程を低温トラップ法で解析し、中枢神経系のみで膜侵入が起こる分子機構について考察することを目的としている。
    本目的を達成するためには、令和3年度に導入したクライオ電顕を稼働させる必要があったが、原因不明のトラブルが続き、その解決に3年を費やしている。最終的にカメラとそれを制御するボードの総入れ替えによって漸く稼働しはじめ、24時間のテスト撮影が続いている。この間、本研究課題の標的であるTeNTの大量精製も進み、酸化体のTeNTの粒子像を撮影するための凍結条件の検討も進んでいる。
    一方、他の測定装置を用い、クライオ電顕グラフェンの酸化修飾によってエポキシ基を導入した初代のクライオ電顕用の新規グリッド(Epoxidized Graphene Grid; EG-grid, Scientific Reports, 2023)を改良して、Hisタグを認識したり、マルトース結合蛋白質を認識したりする次世代型のEG-gridの開発にも成功している(未発表)。グラフェン膜上にタンパク質を効率よく固定化する技術の開発も進んでおり、EG-Grid上で破傷風毒素(TeNT)を固定化することについても計画通り実験を実施できる目途が立っている。還元剤の入った反応溶液と混合することで、構造変化を起こさせ、その直後に凍結することで、低温トラップによる構造変化をクライオ電子顕微鏡で捉える実験を進める予定である。

    1.In vitro 経細胞間移動(bacterial transcytosis; BT)アッセイ
    ヒト血管内皮細胞(HUEhT-2)、ヒト鼻腔上皮細胞(HNEpC)、脳微小血管内皮細胞(TY09細胞)を使用し、各上皮細胞をトランスウェルチャンバーのインサート(3μmポア)上で一晩培養し、上層に血清型の異なる肺炎球菌を接種し、300xg, 5分遠心後に、1時間静置し(上層にはgentamicin 20 μg/ml添加)、上層から下層に移動した菌数をカウントし、BT(%)を算定した。アッセイに使用する肺炎球菌株として、侵襲性肺炎球菌感染症の原因菌の中から、高侵襲性と想定された12F, 10A, 23A,低侵襲性と想定された3, 19Aの5つ血清型を選択した。複数回のアッセイ実施の結果、HUEhT-2> HNEpC> TY09の順にBT%が高かった。この結果から、細胞の種類、血清型によって、BT(%)が異なる可能性が示唆された。また、TY09ではBT(%)が最も低かった所見はBlood-brain CSF barrierの透過率が低いことを示唆している可能性が考えられた。また、血清型 3 のBT%は、他の血清型12F, 10A, 23A, 19Aと比較して低かった。


    2.RNA seq(トランスクリプトーム)解析
    ヒト血管内皮細胞(HUEhT-2)を肺炎球菌生菌で1時間共培養し、細胞を洗浄後にRNA seq解析を行った。RNA発現量変化のクラスタリング解析により、血清型3と23A間での細胞応答に差は認められなかった。さらに、パスウェイ解析では菌処理した細胞において、未処理細胞と比較して、アポトーシスを含め細胞死関連パスウェイや血管形成や血管新生関連パスウェイ、細胞構成タンパクに関わるパスウェイの変化が認められた。

    Human acquired immune responses includes B cell differentiation in which immunoglobulin (Ig) genes undergo somatic mutations against pathogen infection. However, it has not been understood how fast and ordered Ig gene got mutations in response to the infections. To elucidate molecular mechanisms in which the human immune responses regulates Ig affinity, pathogen-induced Ig gene mutation was analyzed with molecular biological approach. As a result, we were able to identify the numbers and hot spots in the Ig gene mutations induced by vaccine components, and viral proteins derived from persistent infections. Collectively, the findings in this project indicate persistently viral infection always maintains the humoral immune responses through the continuous stimulation by viral proteins that the reactivation provides in human.

    Mice expressing membrane proteins LMP1 and LMP2A derived from EV virus were prepared and their effects were investigated. It was found that LMP2A promotes the differentiation of germinal center B cells into antibody producing cells and contributes to infection of EBV by surviving low affinity B cells. In addition, systemic lupus erythematosus-like symptoms were induced and firstly proved to be associated with autoimmune diseases.In addition, T / NK cells were reduced by using its antibody, and the pathological condition of the mouse was analyzed in the state of immunosuppression. It was found that LMP1 and LMP2A cooperate with each other in germinal center B cells and induce proliferative diseases such as Hodgkin's lymphoma.
    The crystallization of the C-terminus region of CTAR1 involved in signal transduction in LMP1 was performed. The complex crystals between CTAR1 and its antibody of 11A1 up to 1.9 A resolution were obtained and the structural analysis is now in progress.

    Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infects into the 90 % of human being in the world-wide and is thought to a causative agent for some malignancies. Of the EBV-coding genes, Latent membrane protein (LMP) has been known to be involved in the tumorigenesis. Here this study demonstrates that molecular pathogenesis by which both LMP1 and LMP2a expression in B cells gives rise to lymphomagenesis. Depletion of T cells resulted in the development of splenomegaly induced by aberrant B cell growth. In conclusion, this study clearly indicates that T cells is responsible for the regulation of EBV-induced cell growth transformation in vivo.

    This study has been carried out to determine roles of semaphorins and their receptors in immune regulation. We showed that Sema4A and Sema3A play roles in negative regulation in allergic immune responses and in trafficking of dendritic cells from the periphery to lymph nodes, respectively. Tim-4 was also shown to play a regulatory role in T-cell mediated immunity. Furthermore, PKN1, a serine-threonine kinase, whose functions had been unknown, turned out to be necessary not only for regulation of B cell antigen receptor signals and but also for selection of high affinity antibody producing B cells.

    Epstein-Barr virus is an oncogenic herpesvirus that infects into over 90% of worldwide human beings. To elucidate the molecular pathogenesis in which EB virus induce cell growth transformation, recombinant EB virus was produced to visualize the viral infection and then utilized for identification of host factor that is responsible for the viral entry. Furthermore, the novel cloning strategy for identifying host molecules associated with latent membrane proteins was established to clarify the contribution of the interacting host factor in EB virus infection.

    Borna disease virus (BDV) belongs to the Bornaviridae family, within the nonsegmented negative-strand RNA virus, Mononegavirales, which is characterized by highly neurotropic, noncytopathic replication, and persistent infection. Although previous studies using rodent models indicated that modulation of the immune response could contribute to the induction of persistence in the brain, the mechanisms by which CNS viruses efficiently control immune response have not been yet fully elucidated. Furthermore, little is known about the glial reactions contributing to the viral persistence and immune modulation in the CNS. In this study, we investigated the role of a pattern recognition receptor, RAGE (receptor for advanced glycation end products), which is involved in the immune system's response pathways, as well as an astrocyte-derived factor, S100B, in the brains of Lewis rats persistently infected with BDV. A prominent role of S100B appears to be the promotion of vascular inflammatory responses through interaction with the RAGE. We demonstrated that the expression of S100B is significantly reduced in BDV-infected brains despite severe astrocytosis with increased glial fibrillary acidic protein immunoreactivity. Interestingly, no upregulation of the expression of S100B, or RAGE, was observed in the persistently infected brains even on incitation with several inflammatory stimuli, including lipopolysaccharide. In addition, the expression of the vascular cell adhesion molecule, VCAM-1, as well as the infiltration of encephalitogenic T-cells, was significantly reduced in persistently infected brains in which an experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis was induced by immunization with myelin-basic protein. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the continuous activation of S1008 in the brain may be necessary for the progression of vascular immune responses in neonatally infected rat brains. Our results suggested that BDV infection may impair astrocyte functions via a downregulation of S100B expression, leading to the maintenance of a persistent infection.

    Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has tropism for the human B lymphocytes and epithelial cells and widely infects into 95% of human being in the world-wide. It is also known that EBV is a causative reagent to be associated with Burkitt's lymphomas, Hodgkin's lymphomas, AIDS-associated lymphomas. EBV escapes immunosurveillance when it infects and induces its tumorigenicity in B lymphocytes but little is known about the molecular mechanisms by which EBV invades well in human. lb clarify the mechanism, here we tried to show how EBV latent gene products contribute to EBV-induce B cell growth transformation and activation in viva First of all, we generated transgenic mice (tg) with B cell-specific expression of EBV nuclear antigen (EBNA1) which is involved in the EBV genome maintenance in cells and the growth transformation by stabilizing p53 tumor suppressor protein. They carry EBV EBNA1 gene under the control of Ig enhancer/polyoma immediate early gene promoter to give EBNA1 expressed in B cells specifically. EBNA1tg showed hyperplasia in the spleen and lymph nodes where B cells express large amount of EBNA1 protein. There is no difference in the incidence of tumorigenicity between EBNA1tg and the control suggesting that tumorigenicity of EBV would be dependent on the other EBV latent gene such as LMP1 and EBNA1 and that it could be on the diversity of genetic background in human which is susceptibility for EBV. The second aspect was that how in vivo system could be established for searching the pathogenesis of EBV on B cell growth transformation induced by latent membrane proteins (LMP). The data have been shown that the expression of LMP including LMP1 and LMP2a inhibit and modify B cell development at the late stage, especially, the transition of follicular B cells to germinal center B cells in secondary lymphoid organs. In this context, it is difficult to determine the involvement of LMP in lymphomagenesis to develop Burkitt's lymphomas, Hodgkin's lymphomas which are thought to be derived from germinal center B cells. lb overcome the difficulties, we developed more sophisticated drug-inducible LMP expression system in mouse where early B cell development was defective in inducing LMP1 expression suggesting that LMP1 is responsible for escaping host immunosurveillance in the EBV infection.

    セマフォリンファミリーは、神経回路形成過程において機能するガイダンス因子として同定された分子群であるが、申請者らの研究から、種々のセマフォリン分子が免疫反応の成立や調節において重要な役割を果たしていることが明らかになってきた。本研究は、これら分子のin vitro、in vivoにおける免疫学的活性、それらの受容体の同定やシグナル伝達経路の解析を行い、本年度は以下の研究成果を得た。
    (1)昨年度までに、Sema4A欠損マウスを作成とその解析から、樹状細胞上のSema4AがT細胞のプライミングにおいてT細胞上のSema4AがTh1分化において必要であることを示した。本年度は、遺伝的背景がBALB/cのSema4A欠損マウスを解析し、Sema4A非存在下ではTh2反応が亢進し、アレルギー様の皮膚炎が自然発症することが明らかになった。また、ヒトの多発性硬化症により近い自己免疫性脳脊髄炎(EAE)を発症するSJLマウスを用いて、抗Sema4A抗体による発症阻止実験を行った。その結果、抗Sema4A抗体がSJLマウスにおける再発性の脳脊髄炎の発症を阻止できることを示した。
    (2)昨年度作成したPlexin-A1欠損マウスを更に詳細に解析した。その結果、Plexin-A1欠損マウスにおいては樹状細胞の機能や抗原特異的なT細胞分化が著しく低下しているのに加え、破骨細胞の分化不全から大理石病を発症することが明らかになった。また、Plexin-A1欠損樹状細胞はSema6Dに対する結合性や、Sema6Dによるサイトカイン産生が著明に減弱しており、樹状細胞の活性化においてSema6D-Plexin-A1相互作用が重要な働きを果たしていると考えられる。

    1) CD40 was found to play a role in LPS responses in a ligand-independent manner because macrophages and B cells from CD40-deficient mice but not from CD40 ligand-deficient mice displayed impaired responses to LPS.Biochemical studies revealed that CD40 was associated with TLR4 upon stimulation with LPS, suggesting that CD40 is involved in LPS signaling as one of LPS receptor components.
    2) CD100 was found to induce dephosphorylation of its lymphocyte receptor, CD72, and dissociation of a tyrosine phosphatase, SHP1 from CD72. This finding indicates that CD100 turns off negative signaling of CD72, resulting in augmentation of B cell activation.
    3) CD100-deficient mice showed not only poor B cell responses but also impaired T cell priming. Furthermore, it was found that impaired T cell priming was due to a defect of activation of antigen presenting cells such as dendritic cells in the absence of CD100.
    4) We demonstrated that CD100 was proteolytically cleaved and released from T and B cells as functional soluble CD100 upon activation of cells. Serum levels of soluble CD100 increased after immunization of normal mice or after the onset of autoimmune diseases of MRL/lpr mice. Furthermore, serum levels of soluble CD100 were found to well correlate with titers of specific antibodies or titers of auto-antibodies in these mice.

    1.細胞質内領域に種々の欠失やアミノ酸置換を持つ変異CD40のみを発現する変異マウスを作製し、それらの免疫能の解析から、CD40からは膜近位部と膜遠位部の少なくとも二種のシグナルが伝達され、B細胞の活性化、分化とクラススイッチには膜近位部からのシグナル、胚中心形成には膜遠位部からのシグナルが必要であることを示した。
    2.CD40欠損マウスには、腫瘍ワクチンで抗腫瘍CD4T細胞を誘導できないが、腫瘍ワクチンと同時にCD40刺激した樹状細胞を接種すると、CD40欠損マウスにおいても抗腫瘍免疫が誘導された。すなわち、腫瘍ワクチンによる抗腫瘍T細胞の誘導にはCD40シグナルによって樹状細胞が活生化されることが必須である事を示した。
    3.EBウイルスの形質転換因子LMP1をB細胞特異的に発現するトランスジェニックマウスのB細胞機能や免疫能を解析し、LMP1がCD40シグナルと同様にクラススイッチを含むリンパ濾胞外でのB細胞活性化と分化を誘導するが、一方でCD40とは異なり胚中心B細胞分化を抑制することを示した。
    4.CD40シグナルの標的遺伝子の一つとしてCD100遺伝子を単離し、CD100刺激はCD40で誘導される増殖や免疫グロブリンのクラススイッチを増強すると共に、in vivoでも抗体産生を増強する事を示した。さらに、CD100の受容体としてplexin-B1に加え、リンパ球上ではCD72が低親和性受容体として機能している事を明らかにした。
    5.CD100欠損マウスやCD100トランスジェニックマウスを作製し、CD100が、CD5陽性のB1細胞が分化、CD40やLPSに対するB細胞の反応性、T細胞依存性抗原に対する抗体産生反応に必要である事を示した。

  • Mechanisms of regulation of immune responses by CD40-CD40L interactions.

    A critical role of CD40-CD154 (CD40 ligand) interactions in humoral immune responses has been previously demonstrated by the deficiency of CD40, or CD154 in the mouse or human. To further dissect CD40 signals in antigen-driven B cell differentiation, we have attempted to reconstitute CD40-CD154 interactions in CD40-deficient mice by expressing various mutant CD40 transgenes under the control of Ig promtor/enhancer. The expression of the deletion mutant carrying only the membrane proximal region could rescue B cell differentiation in the extra-follicular area (PALS) including Ig class switching but not germinal center (GC) formation. GC formation was dependent on signals from the membrane distal region including TRAF2, 3 and 5 binding site of CD40.
    The latent membrane protein 1 (LMP1), which is a transforming gene product of Epstein Barr virus (EBV), is known to bind TRAF proteins. The transgenic mice expressing LMP1 in a B cell-specific manner were crossed with CD40-deficient mice. The transgenic expression of LMPl could rescue Ig class switch but not germinal center formation of CD40-deficient mice. The affinity of antibodies produced in these mice was considerably low. It thus appears that LMP1 partly share signals with CD40.
    The development of autoimmunity is often observed in patients with X-linked hyper IgM syndrome caused by defects in the CD154 gene, however, this phenomenon can not be simply explained by known functions of CD40 or CD154. To explore the mechanism how autoirnmunity develops in the absence of CD4O-CD154 interactions, we transferred T cells of CD40 (-/-) BALB/c mice into BALBc nu/nu mice, so that CD40-CD 154 interactions can be reconstituted in recipient mice. The recipients that received T cells from CD40 (-/-) but not from normal BALB/c produced various autoantibodies and developed autoimmune gastritis and sialoadenitis. Autoimmunity could be transferred by CD4^+ T cells but not CD8^+ T cells. CD40 (-/-) mice have reduced numbers of CD45RB^ CD4^+T cells that are known to consist of memory/effector T cells and regulatory T cells. Co-transfers of CD4^+ T cells from normal BALB/c could prevent development of autoiminunity induced by T cells of CD40 (-/-) mice. It thus appears that CD40-CD 154 interactions are also required for generation of regulatory T cells that suppress autoreactive T cells.

    The CD40-CD40 ligand (CD40L) interaction is known to be essential for humoral immune responses. It has also been recently suggested that CD40 on antigen presenting cells play an important role in T cell activation. To elucidate a role of CD40 in T cell activation/differentiation, we studied immune responses of CD40-deficient mice against Leishmania major, a resolution of which is known to be dependent on a Th1 T cell response. Our results demonstrated that CD40-deficient mice were susceptible to L.major infection.
    Furthermore, it turned out that the mutant mice mounted a Th2 response to the parasites instead of a Th1 response because of an absence of CD40-dependent IL-12 production by antigen-presenting cells. The role of CD40 in generation of effector T cells could be demonstrated in vitro. T cells from OVA-specific TCR transgenic mice were stimulated with OVA peptides in the presence of CD40-positive or negative APC.Certain concentrations of peptides could induce generation of IFN-g producing Th1 cells in the presence of CD40-positive APC but not in the presence of CD40-negative APC while IL-4 producing Th2 cells could be induced by both CD40-positive and CD40-negative APC with appropriate concentrations of peptides. Moreover, addition of IL12 could rescue the generation of Th1 cells in the presence of CD40-negative APC.These results suggest that CD40-dependent IL-12 production by APC may be critical in generation of Th1 effector cells.
