中文摘要
描述(由申请人提供):肿瘤为T细胞激活提供了不良的共刺激环境,使得T细胞对肿瘤的能量、无知和“耗竭”现象有据可查。以前,不可能准确评估tcr依赖性激活诱导的T细胞死亡(AICD)在确定T细胞对肿瘤是否耐受或免疫方面的具体作用。这是因为目前还没有一种专门阻断来自TCR的死亡信号的方法。我们在转基因小鼠的TCR β链恒定区(bTM-g)中产生了一个突变,该突变使野生型T细胞增殖,但对抗原刺激的T细胞具有AICD抗性。bTM-g T细胞对tcr依赖性AICD的特异性耐药将非常有助于确定该途径在决定肿瘤外周免疫应答中通常发挥的作用。具体目的:(1)确定被bTM-g突变直接抑制的死亡信号通路。(2)确定tcr依赖性AICD在肿瘤免疫发展中的作用。我们相信bTM-g模型将立即有助于阐明tcr依赖性AICD在最大化免疫和逃避肿瘤耐受中的作用。我们假设特异性抑制tcr依赖性AICD的能力将揭示该过程通常在下调抗肿瘤免疫反应中起作用。我们进一步提出,bTM-g突变可能会突出一个重要的基序,这可能是药理学上的目标。
英文摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Tumors are known for providing T cells with poor costimulatory environments for T cell activation, making T cell anergy, ignorance, and "exhaustion" to tumors well-documented phenomena. Previously, it has not been possible to accurately assess the specific role of TCR-dependent activation-induced T cell death (AICD) in determining whether T cell tolerance or immunity to tumors prevails. This is because a means of specifically blocking the death signal from the TCR has not been available. We have generated a mutation in the TCR beta-chain constant region (bTM-g) which imparts wild-type T cell proliferation but resistance to AICD to antigen-stimulated T cells in transgenic mice. The specific resistance of bTM-g T cells to TCR-dependent AICD will be very useful in determining the role this pathway normally plays in determining peripheral immune responses to tumors. Specific Aims: (1) Identify the death-signaling pathway(s) that is(are) directly inhibited by the bTM-g mutation. (2) Determine the role of TCR-dependent AICD in the development of tumor immunity. We believe the bTM-g model will be immediately useful in clarifying the role of TCR-dependent AICD in maximizing immunity and escape from tolerance to tumors. We hypothesize that the ability to specifically inhibit TCR-dependent AICD will reveal that this process normally plays a role in downregulating anti-tumor immune responses. We further propose that the bTM-g mutation may spotlight an important motif which could be targeted pharmacologically.
