We show, for the first time, that the transcription factor T-bet, which is implicated in IFN-gamma production, is required for the induction of vaccine-induced antiviral immune protection.
|

|
This result was associated with an impaired NK cell cytotoxic capacity and NK cell-mediated IFN-gamma production in the T-bet(-/-) mice.
|

|
The impaired acquired immune protection in T-bet(-/-) mice was associated with a significantly decreased HSV-2-specific delayed-type hypersensitivity response and a significantly reduced HSV-2-specific IFN-gamma production from CD4(+) T cells.
|

|
However, T-bet deficiency did not impair either the IFN-gamma production or the cytotoxic capacity of HSV-2-specific CD8(+) T cells.

|
The transcription factor T-bet regulates the differentiation of CD4(+) T-helper type 1 (Th1) cells and represses Th2 lineage commitment.
|
6 |
16188982
|
As expected, a significant Th2 shift was observed in CD4(+) T cells of T-bet(-/-) mice.
|
7 |
16188982
|
Furthermore, absence of T-bet impaired VV-specific CD8(+) cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) function, including cytolytic activity, antiviral cytokine production, and proliferation.
|
8 |
16188982
|
These data reveal that the enhanced susceptibility to VV infection in T-bet(-/-) mice was at least partially due to the Th2 shift of CD4(+) T cells and the diminished function of VV-specific CTLs and NK cells but not due to downregulation of antibody production.

Activated macrophages demonstrated upregulation in synthesis of IL-12 and downregulation in IL-10, along with excess IFN gamma production in splenic cells, as evidenced from mRNA analysis.
|

|
Induction of such type 1 immunity was further confirmed by expression of type 1 specific transcription factor, T-bet and enhancement of intracellular glutathione content.
|
11 |
19285575
|
Dependence of induced type 1 immune response on the NO release and vice versa was studied by in vitro neutralization of IFN gamma/IL-12 and in vivo inhibition of NO production by methylene blue.

|
After in vitro stimulation, spleen cells of immunized mice produce high levels of Th1 cytokines and show a prominent mRNA expression of the Th1 transcription factor T-bet, in detriment of the Th2 transcription factor GATA-3.
|
13 |

|
Following R. equi challenge, a high H2O2, NO, IL-12, and IFN-gamma content is detected in the organs of immunized mice.
|
14 |
20072623
|
On the other hand, TNF-alpha and IL-4 levels are markedly lower in the organs of vaccinated mice, compared with the non-vaccinated ones.
|
15 |
20072623
|
A greater incidence of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and B lymphocytes is verified in vaccinated mice.
|
16 |
20072623
|
However, there is no difference between vaccinated and non-vaccinated mice in terms of the frequency of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ T cells.

IFN-{gamma} produced by CD8 T cells induces T-bet-dependent and -independent class switching in B cells in responses to alum-precipitated protein vaccine.
|
18 |
20855629
|
These findings led us to question whether adoptive transfer of antigen-specific CD8 T cells alters the characteristic CD4 Th2 response to alum proteins and the switching pattern in responding B cells.
|
19 |
20855629
|
To this end, WT mice given transgenic ovalbumin (OVA)-specific CD4 (OTII) or CD8 (OTI) T cells, or both, were immunized with alum-precipitated OVA.
|

|
The transcription factor T-bet is required in B cells for IFN-γ-dependent switching to IgG2a.

Importantly, we demonstrate that correlative to memory responses, perioperative immunotherapy increases the formation of tumor-infiltrating and tumor-reactive CD8(+) T cells expressing low levels of the transcription factor T-bet, defined as memory precursor effector cells.

IL-2 produced by CD8+ immune T cells can augment their IFN-γ production independently from their proliferation in the secondary response to an intracellular pathogen.
|
23 |
23359502
|
In the current study, we examined the role of IL-2 in IFN-γ production by CD8(+) immune T cells in their secondary responses using T. gondii-specific CD8(+) T cell hybridomas and splenic CD8(+) immune T cells from chronically infected mice.
|
24 |
23359502
|
The majority (92%) of CD8(+) T cell hybridomas produced large amounts of IFN-γ only when a low amount (0.5 ng/ml) of exogenous IL-2 was provided in combination with T. gondii Ags.
|
25 |
23359502
|
Inhibition of cell proliferation by mitomycin C did not affect the enhancing effect of IL-2 on the IFN-γ production, and significant increases in transcription factor T-bet expression were associated with the IL-2-mediated IFN-γ amplification.
|
26 |
23359502
|
Splenic CD8(+) immune T cells produced similar low levels of IL-2 in the secondary response to T. gondii, and a blocking of IL-2 signaling by anti-IL-2Rα Ab or inhibitors of JAK1 and JAK3 significantly reduced IFN-γ production of the T cells.
|
27 |
23359502
|
This IL-2-mediated upregulation of IFN-γ production was observed in mitomycin C-treated CD8(+) immune T cells, thus independent from their cell division.
|
28 |
23359502
|
Therefore, endogenous IL-2 produced by CD8(+) immune T cells can play an important autocrine-enhancing role on their IFN-γ production in the secondary responses to T. gondii, suggesting an importance of induction of CD8(+) immune T cells with an appropriate IL-2 production for vaccine development.

CpG and interleukin-15 synergize to enhance IFN-γ production by activated CD8+ T cells.
|
30 |
23509806
|
Interleukin-15 (IL-15) regulates the development and maintenance of memory CD8(+) T cells.
|
31 |
23509806
|
Paradoxically, we previously reported that IL-15 could enhance CD8(+) T-cell responses to IL-12, a proinflammatory cytokine required for optimal priming of effector CD8(+) T cells.
|
32 |
23509806
|
The effect of CpG and IL-15 was also evident with CD8(+) T cells recovered from mice infected with the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi (T. cruzi) and restimulated with antigen.
|
33 |
23509806
|
The observed synergy between CpG and IL-15 occurred in an IL-12-dependent manner, and this effect could even be demonstrated in cocultures of activated CD8(+) T cells and CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells.
|
34 |
23509806
|
Although IFN-γ was not essential for CpG-induced IL-12, the ability of CpG and IL-15 to act on CD8(+) T cells required expression of the IFN-γ-inducible transcription factor T-bet.

Upregulation of the transcription factor T-bet is correlated with the strength of protection against secondary challenge with the live vaccine strain (LVS) of Francisella tularensis.

|
Lungs of LVS-infected T-bet-KO mice contained fewer lymphocytes and more neutrophils and interleukin-17 than WT mice.
|
37 |
24421047
|
LVS-vaccinated WT or KO mice controlled intracellular bacterial replication in an in vitro coculture system, but cultures with T-bet-KO splenocyte supernatants contained less IFN-γ and increased amounts of tumor necrosis factor alpha.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells express CD38 in response to Th1 cell-derived IFN-γ by a T-bet-dependent mechanism.
|

|
The expression of the transcription factor T-bet in peripheral blood CLL cells significantly correlated with CD38 expression, and transient transfection of CLL cells with T-bet resulted in T-bet(hi)CD38(hi) cells.
|
40 |
25505279
|
Finally, chromatin immunoprecipitation experiments revealed that T-bet can bind to regulatory regions of the CD38 gene.
|
41 |
25505279
|
These data suggest that CLL cells attract CLL-specific Th cells and initiate a positive feedback loop with upregulation of T-bet, CD38, and type 1 chemokines allowing further recruitment of Th cells and increased type 1 cytokine secretion.
|

|
This insight provides a cellular and molecular mechanism that links the inflammatory signature observed in CLL pathogenesis with CD38 expression and aggressive disease and suggests that targeting the IFN-γ/IFN-γR/JAK/STAT/T-bet/CD38 pathway could play a role in the therapy of CLL.
