Giardia duodenalisis a noninvasive luminal pathogen that impairs digestive function in its host in part by reducing intestinal disaccharidase activity. This enzyme deficiency has been shown in mice to require CD8+T cells. We recently showed that both host immune responses and parasite strain affected disaccharidase levels during murine giardiasis. However, high doses of antibiotics were used to facilitate infections in that study, and we therefore decided to systematically examine the effects of antibiotic use on pathogenesis and immune responses in the mouse model of giardiasis. We found that antibiotic treatment did not overtly increase the parasite burden but significantly limited the disaccharidase deficiency observed in infected mice. Moreover, while infected mice had more activated CD8+αβ T cells in the small intestinal lamina propria, this increase was absent in antibiotic-treated mice. Infection also led to increased numbers of CD4+αβ T cells in the lamina propria and activation of T cell receptor γδ-expressing intraepithelial lymphocytes (IEL), but these changes were not affected by antibiotics. Finally, we show that activated CD8+T cells express gamma interferon (IFN-γ) and granzymes but that granzymes are not required for sucrase deficiency. We conclude that CD8+T cells become activated in giardiasis through an antibiotic-sensitive process and contribute to reduced sucrase activity. These are the first data directly demonstrating activation of CD8+T cells and γδ T cells duringGiardiainfections. These data also demonstrate that disruption of the intestinal microbiota by antibiotic treatment prevents pathological CD8+T cell activation in giardiasis.

It has been recently demonstrated that NKG2D is an activating costimulatory receptor on natural killer (NK) cells, natural killer T (NKT) cells, activated CD8+ T cells, and γδ T cells, which respond to cellular stress, such as inflammation, transformation, and infection. Here we show that intestinal inflammation in colitic SCID mice induced by adoptive transfer of CD4+CD45RBhigh T cells is characterized by significant increase of CD4+NKG2D+ T cells and constitutive expression of NKG2D ligands, such as H60, Mult-1, and Rae-1, by lamina propria CD11c+ dendritic cells. Furthermore, treatment with nondepleting and neutralizing anti-NKG2D MAb after transfer of CD4+CD45RBhigh T cells into SCID mice significantly suppressed wasting disease with colitis, abrogated leukocyte infiltration, and reduced production of IFN-γ by lamina propria CD4+ T cells. These findings demonstrate that NKG2D signaling pathway is critically involved in CD4+ T cell-mediated disease progression and suggest a new therapeutic target for inflammatory bowel diseases.

Hypercholesterolemia is associated with phenotypic changes in endothelial cell function that lead to a proinflammatory and prothrombogenic state in different segments of the microvasculature. CD40 ligand (CD40L) and its receptor CD40 are ubiquitously expressed and mediate inflammatory responses and platelet activation. The objective of this study was to determine whether CD40/CD40L, in particular T-cell CD40L, contributes to microvascular dysfunction induced by hypercholesterolemia. Intravital microscopy was used to quantify blood cell adhesion in cremasteric postcapillary venules, endothelium-dependent vasodilation responses in arterioles, and microvascular oxidative stress in wild-type (WT) C57BL/6, CD40-deficient (−/−), CD40L−/−, or severe combined immune deficient (SCID) mice placed on a normal (ND) or high-cholesterol (HC) diet for 2 wk. WT-HC mice exhibited an exaggerated leukocyte and platelet recruitment in venules and impaired vasodilation responses in arterioles compared with ND counterparts. A deficiency of CD40, CD40L, or lymphocytes attenuated these responses to HC. The HC phenotype was rescued in CD40L−/− and SCID mice by a transfer of WT T cells. Bone marrow chimeras revealed roles for both vascular- and blood cell-derived CD40 and CD40L in the HC-induced vascular responses. Hypercholesterolemia induced an oxidative stress in both arterioles and venules of WT mice, which was abrogated by either CD40 or CD40L deficiency. The transfer of WT T cells into CD40L−/− mice restored the oxidative stress. These results implicate CD40/CD40L interactions between circulating cells and the vascular wall in both the arteriolar and venular dysfunction elicited by hypercholesterolemia and identify T-cell-associated CD40L as a key mediator of these responses.
