摘 要:摘 要:树突状细胞(dendritic cells, DC)是体内最重要的专职抗原递呈细胞,具有刺激初始型T细胞增殖,启动机体免疫反应并决定免疫应答方向的功能。人白细胞抗原-G(human leukocyte antigen -G, HLA-G)属于非经典的HLA-I类分子,能够调控DC的细胞表型和细胞因子表达谱,诱导DC获得致免疫耐受功能。耐受型DC呈现未成熟或半成熟样,释放IL-10等抑制性细胞因子和表达免疫球蛋白样转录受体4(immunoglobulin-like transcript 4, ILT4)等HLA-G受体,继而诱导产生调节性T细胞(regulatory T cells, Treg)。对HLA-G诱导产生耐受型DC细胞及其免疫学功能作一综述。

Abstract: Abstract: Dendritic cells (DC) are the most important professional antigen presenting cells (APCs), which have the functions of stimulating the proliferation of naïve T cells, initiating immune response, and inducing immunity or immunologic tolerance. Human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-G, a non-classical HLA class I molecule, is involved in the generation of tolerogenic DCs, which express high levels of immunoglobulin-like transcript (ILT)-4, secrete high amounts of IL-10, and induce allospecific regulatory T cells (Treg) in vivo and in vitro. In the present review, we discuss current findings on the functional plasticity of tolerogenic DC induced by HLA-G.
