Mixed Lymphocyte Reactions

Abstract The T-cell-accessory-cell interaction in mixed lymphocyte cultures was investigated in 25 patients following autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) using autologous bone marrow treated in vitro with the cyclophosphamide derivative ASTA Z 7557. In a previous study using the same group of patients, T cells failed to synthesize interleukin-2 (IL-2) and proliferate in response to CD3- and CD2- mediated stimuli even in the presence of exogenous IL-2. To investigate whether this defect in IL-2 synthesis and proliferation was caused by defective cell-to-cell interactions, we analyzed mixed lymphocyte reactions (MLR) using T cells and irradiated non-T cells. When normal T cells from 10 different healthy subjects were challenged with allogeneic normal non-T cells, IL-2 production and proliferation were observed. In contrast, when normal T cells were cultured with non-T cells derived from patients found between 20 and 330 days after ABMT, no IL-2 secretion and no proliferative responses could be seen. The addition of lymphokines such as interleukin-1 (IL-1), interleukin-3 (IL- 3), tumor necrosis factor (TNF), granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF), and interferon-gamma (IFN-y) did not improve the reactions. Furthermore, when patients' T cells were incubated with normal, irradiated non-T cells, defective IL-2 synthesis or proliferative response was obtained. However, when IL-2 was added to these cultures, an improvement in proliferative reactions was observed. Taken together, these new data provide additional evidence that T cells early in ontogeny possessed an intrinsic defect in IL-2 synthesis and that physical cell-to-cell contact between patients' T cells and allogeneic accessory cells induced functional responsiveness to exogeneous IL-2.

Abstract T cells generated during a second round of ontogeny after autologous bone marrow transplantation (ABMT) represent a unique model of early T- cell ontogeny in an autologous situation. Since grafted bone marrows were pretreated in vitro with the cyclophosphamide derivative ASTA Z 7557, circulating T cells had to be regenerated from reinfused hematopoietic progenitor cells. The T-cell population derived from 25 patients post-ABMT was phenotypically characterized: an increase in CD8+ cells, a low percentage of CD4+ cells, and a median of 12% CD56+ (NKH1+) cells were found. When the T cells were stimulated with phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA), defective interleukin-2 (IL-2) secretion was observed. In addition, proliferative responses of the T cells after activation through the antigen-receptor- dependent CD3 pathway, through the CD2 dependent alternative T-cell pathway, and by the lectin PHA were investigated. Despite the presence of CD2, CD3, alpha/beta chains of the T-cell receptor, and CD25+ IL-2 surface receptors, abnormal proliferative responses were obtained even in the presence of exogeneous IL-2. In experiments where the T-cell population was separated into CD4+ cells and CD8+ cells, both the CD4- and CD8+ subsets were unable to respond to activating and proliferating signals. Thus, T cells at early stages of ontogeny not only possess an intrinsic defect in IL-2 synthesis but, in addition, were unable to express functional IL-2 receptors in response to mitogenic stimuli.

Abstract In 22 patients with malignancies, treated with high-dose chemoradiotherapy and autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT), peripheral blood T cell subsets and functions were studied. In ten cytomegalovirus (CMV)-negative patients, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells (representing T cells of the helper/inducer phenotype and T cells of the suppressor/cytotoxic phenotype, respectively), recovered slowly and simultaneously. In 12 CMV-positive patients, however, CD8+ T cells recovered more rapidly than CD4+ T cells and rose to increased counts. No T cells with an immature phenotype (CD1+, OKT6+) were observed. Lymphocyte stimulation by herpes simplex virus infected fibroblasts (and by CMV-infected fibroblasts in CMV-positive patients) in contrast remained high and even increased after BMT in both groups. These data indicate that T cell recovery after autologous BMT is mainly due to proliferation of mature T cells present in the BM graft and not to generation of new T cells from T cell precursors.

T cells from allogeneic bone marrow grafts are responsible for a graft versus leukemia effect. Use of recombinant Interleukin-2 (rIL-2) after autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT) may enhance immune function and hopefully reproduce the allogeneic reaction. We report here the hematologic and immunologic changes observed in the first 10 patients of a phase 1 trial studying the infusion of IL-2 after autologous BMT. All patients had high-risk malignancies and received 6 days of a constant infusion of IL-2 (Eurocetus, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) at dose of 3 x 10(6) Cetus Units/m2/d, 79 +/- 12 days after autologous BMT. Clinical toxicities involving cutaneous, cholestatic, gastrointestinal, and hemodynamic effects occurred during IL-2 treatment but reversed in all cases. Completion of treatment was 91% of the scheduled dose of IL-2. Hematologic toxicity was moderate and transient with no graft failure. Increases in eosinophil and lymphocyte counts were significant (P less than .05). Stimulation of the immune system was intense and prolonged, manifested by increase numbers of CD3+, CD3+DR+, CD3+ CD25+ lymphocytes, and natural killer (NK) cells (all P less than .01), and increase of Lymphokine-activated killers (LAK) and NK activities (P less than .01 and P less than .05). This study establishes the feasibility of a 6-day administration of rIL- 2 after autologous BMT leading to a major immune activation 2.5 months after BMT.
