Antigen-Independent Expansion of CD28hi CD8 Cells From Aged Mice: Cytokine Requirements and Signal Transduction Pathways
Copyright policy )Antigen-Independent Expansion of CD28hi CD8 Cells From Aged Mice: Cytokine Requirements and Signal Transduction Pathways
Memory CD8+ T cells from old mice can proliferate in nonirradiated recipients. Transfer of labeled cells from aged donors into young recipients showed that proliferation of aged donor CD8 cells requires host cells that can both respond to interferon-gamma and produce interleukin-15. Reisolation of transferred CD8 cells from host mice showed that LAT (linker for activated T cells) translocation to the immunological synapse, and translocation of NF (nuclear factor)-kappaB to the nucleus were diminished in recovered CD8 T cells from old donors, whether they had divided in vivo or not. Cells able to proliferate in vivo could be isolated based on their unusually high levels of CD28 expression, but were found not to differ from other aged CD8 cells in their low levels of LAT and protein kinase C-theta (PKC-theta) translocation to the immunological synapse. Thus in vivo proliferation of CD28hi CD8 cells from aged mice cannot be attributed to retention of T-cell receptor signaling.
