Blockade of CD86 and CD40 induces alloantigen-specific
immunoregulatory T cells that remain anergic even after reversal of
hyporesponsiveness

The generation of immunoregulatory T cells that block the
B7(CD86/CD80)-CD28 and/or CD40-CD154 costimulatory pathways has great
potential for the induction of long-term transplantation tolerance. In
a human polyclonal in vitro model, combined monoclonal antibody (mAb)
blocking of the costimulatory ligands CD40 and CD86 lead to
allospecific T-cell anergy that cannot be reversed by antigenic
rechallenge in the presence of IL-2. Although antigenic restimulation
with IL-2 restored the proliferative response, subsequent antigenic
restimulation of the restored anergic cells in a tertiary mixed
lymphocyte culture still resulted in nonresponsiveness. Importantly, these anergic T cells suppress the response of naive alloreactive T cells in an antigen-specific way via linked recognition. Suppression may partially depend on local IL-10 production, while transforming growth factor- (TGF- ) did not play a role.
Irrespective of the monoclonal antibody combination used, blast
formation occurred in a subset of CD4+ cells. These cells
were characterized by a sustained CD45RA expression, an increased
T-cell receptor density, and a lower level of CD4 expression. A reduced
number of CD45RO+/CD8+ T cells was observed
whenever anti-CD86 was combined with anti-CD40, which was reflected by
an even more attenuated cytotoxic T-cell function. This indicates the
importance of CD40-CD154 in the generation of cytotoxic T cells in this
transplantation model. We hypothesize that in our model, anergy is
induced in the CD4+ T-cell subset, whereby
CD8+ cytotoxic effector function is impaired by the lack
of both CD40-CD154 signaling and cytokine-mediated help. This
costimulatory ligand-directed mAb approach might well be used for the
ex vivo generation of antigen-specific immunoregulatory T cells
applicable in adoptive immunotherapy.
