PROJECT SUMMARY – ABSTRACT This application seeks to understand how the brain, through signals delivered via sympathetic neurons, controls immune function. The sympathetic nervous system controls a variety of cellular and metabolic functions and plays a critical role in the flight or fight response. The adrenergic class of neurotransmitter receptors binds to nor-epinephrine secreted by sympathetic neurons and is a target of various pharmacological agonists and antagonists used in humans. Very little is known about how this pathway interfaces with the immune system. We recently found selective expression of the β2-adrenergic receptor (ADRB2) on human CD8+ memory T cells, and it is also expressed in murine CD8+ T cells. Signaling through this receptor significantly suppressed various effector T cell functions including cytokine secretion and lytic activity. Further, CD8+ CTLs lacking the ADRB fail to generate memory cells following infection with vesicular stomatitis virus. Given the importance of this pathway in regulating multiple physiological processes, we wished to determine the role of the ADRB2 in regulating the major functions of adaptive cytolytic T cells of the immune system. Aim 1 will determine how intrinsic ADRB2 signaling regulates the development and function of both effector and memory CD8+ CTLs in response to intracellular infections. Aim 2 will identify the molecular pathway that drives ADRB2-mediated memory development. Finally, Aim 3 will determine how long-acting β-agonist drugs alter the course of a primary and secondary immune response to flu infection. These studies will inform us on the role of the sympathetic nervous system in regulating cytolytic T cell function and how pharmacological agonists alter those responses.

项目摘要-摘要 这个应用程序试图了解大脑如何通过交感神经元传递的信号， 控制免疫功能。交感神经系统控制各种细胞和新陈代谢 在飞行或战斗反应中发挥作用并发挥关键作用。肾上腺素能类神经递质 受体与交感神经元分泌的去甲肾上腺素结合，是多种药理作用的靶点。 用于人类的激动剂和拮抗剂。关于这条通路是如何与 免疫系统。我们最近发现β2-肾上腺素能受体(ADRB2)在人体内选择性表达 CD8+记忆T细胞，在小鼠CD8+T细胞中也有表达。通过该受体传递信号 显著抑制各种效应T细胞功能，包括细胞因子的分泌和裂解活性。此外， 缺乏ADRB的CD8+CTL在感染水泡性口炎病毒后不能产生记忆细胞。 鉴于这一途径在调节多种生理过程中的重要性，我们希望确定 ADRB2在调节免疫系统适应性溶细胞T细胞主要功能中的作用目标 1将决定内在ADRB2信号如何调节效应器和功能的发育和功能 记忆性CD8+CTL对细胞内感染的反应。目标2将确定驱动 ADRB2介导的记忆发育。最后，目标3将决定长效β激动剂药物如何改变 对流感感染的初级和次级免疫反应的过程。这些研究将使我们了解 交感神经系统在调节细胞溶解T细胞功能中的作用及药物激动剂的作用 改变这些反应。
