CD40 ligand trimer enhances the response of CD8+ T cells to Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Abstract
We investigated the effect of recombinant CD40 ligand trimer (CD40LT) on the functional capacity of peripheral blood CD8(+) T cells from healthy tuberculin reactors that were cultured with Mycobacterium tuberculosis-infected autologous monocytes. CD40LT enhanced the capacity of M. tuberculosis-responsive CD8(+) T cells to produce IFN-gamma by increasing the number of IFN-gamma-producing CD8(+) T cells and the amount of IFN-gamma produced per cell. CD40LT-induced IFN-gamma production was dependent on production of IL-12 and IL-18, but did not require IL-15. CD40LT up-regulated expression of the transcription factors phosphorylated CREB and c-Jun, both of which have been previously shown to stimulate IFN-gamma mRNA transcription by binding to the IFN-gamma promoter. CD40LT also enhanced the capacity of CD8(+) T cells to lyse M. tuberculosis-infected monocytes, and increased CTL activity was associated with higher expression of perforin and granulysin, but not of Fas ligand. We conclude that CD40LT can enhance CD8(+) T cell effector function in response to M. tuberculosis.
