Abstract

Follicular helper T (Tfh) cells promote B cell differentiation and antibody production in the B cell follicles of secondary lymphoid organs. Tfh cells express their signature transcription factor BCL6, interleukin (IL)-21, and surface molecules including inducible T cell costimulator, programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), and the chemokine receptor CXCR5. Migration of Tfh cells to B cell follicles largely depends on the CXCR5 expression induced by interactions with antigen-presenting dendritic cells in the T cell area. How Tfh cells acquire sufficient levels of CXCR5 expression, however, has remained unclear. Using our in vitro culture system to generate CXCR5low Tfh-like cells from naïve CD4+ T cells with IL-6 in the absence of other cell types, we found that the active form of vitamin D, calcitriol, markedly enhanced CXCR5 expression after the release from persistent T cell receptor (TCR) stimulation. CH-223191, an aryl hydrocarbon receptor antagonist, further enhanced CXCR5 expression. IL-12 but not IL-4, in place of IL-6, also supported calcitriol to enhance CXCR5 expression even before the release from TCR stimulation, whereas the cell viability sharply decreased after the release. The Tfh-like cells generated with IL-6 and calcitriol exhibited chemotaxis towards CXCL13, expressed IL-21, and helped B cells to produce IgG antibodies in vitro more efficiently than Tfh-like cells generated without added calcitriol. Calcitriol injections into antigen-primed mice increased the proportion of CXCR5+PD-1+CD4+ cells in their lymphoid organs, and enhanced T cell entry into B-cell follicles. These results suggest that calcitriol promotes CXCR5 expression in developing Tfh cells and regulates their functional differentiation.

维生素 D 的活性形式(钙三醇)可在滤泡辅助性 T 细胞分化过程中促进 CXCR5 的表达。
滤泡辅助 T(Tfh)细胞能促进次级淋巴器官 B 细胞滤泡中的 B 细胞分化和抗体生成。Tfh细胞表达其特征性转录因子BCL6、白细胞介素(IL)-21和表面分子,包括诱导性T细胞成本刺激因子、程序性细胞死亡-1(PD-1)和趋化因子受体CXCR5。Tfh 细胞向 B 细胞滤泡的迁移在很大程度上取决于与 T 细胞区的抗原递呈树突状细胞相互作用所诱导的 CXCR5 表达。然而,Tfh 细胞如何获得足够水平的 CXCR5 表达仍不清楚。利用我们的体外培养系统,在没有其他细胞类型的情况下,用 IL-6 从幼稚的 CD4+ T 细胞中生成 CXCR5 低的 Tfh 样细胞,我们发现维生素 D 的活性形式--钙三醇--在持续的 T 细胞受体(TCR)刺激释放后明显增强了 CXCR5 的表达。芳基烃受体拮抗剂 CH-223191 进一步增强了 CXCR5 的表达。IL-12 而不是 IL-4(代替 IL-6)也支持钙三醇增强 CXCR5 的表达,甚至在 TCR 刺激释放之前也是如此,而释放后细胞活力急剧下降。与不添加钙三醇的Tfh样细胞相比,用IL-6和钙三醇生成的Tfh样细胞表现出对CXCL13的趋化性,表达IL-21,并能更有效地帮助B细胞在体外产生IgG抗体。向抗原诱导的小鼠注射钙三醇可增加其淋巴器官中CXCR5+PD-1+CD4+细胞的比例,并促进T细胞进入B细胞滤泡。这些结果表明,钙三醇能促进发育中的Tfh细胞中CXCR5的表达,并调节其功能分化。
