Abstract
本发明涉及人同源盒转录因子VentX及其对人树突状细胞的分化和成熟的调控,并且涉及相关的治疗和诊断组合物及其使用方法。
Description
优先权及相关申请
本申请要求2013年4月10日提交的美国临时申请号61/810,610的权益,其全部内容通过引用明确地并入本文。
技术领域
本发明大体上涉及人类生物学发现,以及基于此的治疗和诊断组合物。更具体地,本发明涉及人同源盒(homeobox)转录因子VentX及其对人树突状细胞的分化和成熟的调控,并且涉及相关的治疗和诊断组合物及其使用方法。
背景技术
树突状细胞(DC)是最有效力的专职抗原呈递细胞,其在启动免疫应答和维持免疫内稳态中起到关键作用。源自骨髓造血干/多能祖细胞的DC在外周非淋巴组织中以未成熟状态存在。(Geissmann等,2010Science 327(5966):p.656-61;Liu等,2010 Immunol Rev234(1):p.45-54.)这些未成熟的DC能够有效地摄入并处理各种抗原。在被诸如细菌脂多糖(LPS)的炎性细胞因子或微生物组分刺激时,未成熟的DC经历成熟过程并且开始迁移至局部淋巴结,在局部淋巴结中与通过CD40与抗原特异性T细胞上的CD40配体相互作用,并且成熟为有效力的免疫刺激性或免疫耐受性细胞(移除(remove))。(Geissmann等,2010Science 327(5966):p.656-61;Randolph等.2005 Nat Rev Immunol 5(8):p.617-28;Mellman等.2005 Adv Exp Med Biol 560:p.63-7.)DC的成熟与MHC II类和共刺激分子的上调表达、免疫刺激性细胞因子的生产、以及刺激幼稚型和抗原特异性T细胞能力的取得相关联。
肠粘膜富含DC,DC存在于粘膜固有层中并调控对于病原体入侵的免疫应答。肠DC的成熟和功能受宿主因子和微生物组分两者的调控。肠DC通过模式识别受体检测病原体的存在,模式识别受体诸如Toll样受体(TLR)家族的成员。已经假定肠DC的异常成熟和激活在诸如炎症性肠病(IBD)的自体免疫性/炎症性病症中起致病作用。已经发现TLR2、TLR4、CD40的表达在从IBD患者的发炎粘膜分离的DC中增强。另外,已经发现异常的TLR信号转导使患者倾向于克罗恩氏病(Crohn’s disease)。随着证据的累积,暗示了在自体免疫-炎症性病症中靶向DC的潜在作用。然而,目前对于能够操控以调节DC成熟和功能的固有DC因子所知甚少。
在炎症的发病机制中已经涉及了循环单核细胞衍生的DC,并且体外人单核细胞衍生的树突状细胞已经广泛用作探索DC分化的分子机制的模式系统。在炎症的发病机制中已经涉及了循环单核细胞衍生的DC。先前的研究表明粒细胞-巨噬细胞集落-刺激因子(GM-CSF)和IL4驱动外周血CD14+单核细胞向CD14-CD1a+DC的分化。已经表明诸如IL6、IL10和(-IFN的几个细胞因子负向调控单核细胞向DC的分化,然而其他细胞因子被报道促进DC的分化。(Chomarat等,2000 Nat Immunol 1(6):p.510-4;Mitani等,2000 Br J Haematol 109(2):p.288-95;Allavena等,1998 Eur J Immunol 28(1):p.359-69;Delneste等,2003Blood 101(1):p.143-50;Chomarat等,2003 J Immunol 171(5):p.2262-9;Iwamoto等,2007 J Immunol 179(3):p.1449-57;Gabriele等,2004 Blood 103(3):p.980-7.)最近的基因图谱分析揭示了在诱导人CD14+单核细胞向DC的分化期间大量差异表达的基因。(LeNaour等,2001 J Biol Chem 276(21):p.17920-31.)尽管如此,人单核细胞向DC的分化的潜在关键转录调控机制仍然知之甚少。
发明概述
本发明部分基于VentX是DC成熟和功能的关键调控子、并且VentX能够作为炎症性疾病和免疫疗法的干预目标的发现。
VentX是BMP4信号通路的非洲爪蟾蜍(Xenopus)同源盒基因Vent/Xom的人类同源物,并且最近被定义为控制造血和免疫细胞的增殖和分化的新型造血转录因子。起初在非洲爪蟾蜍胚胎形成中通过反向遗传建模鉴别为经典Wnt信号转导的新型LEF/TCF相关拮抗剂的VentX,被发现为p53/p21和p16ink4a/Rb肿瘤抑制通路的转录激活子。VentX在造血细胞发育中的关键作用,进一步表现为其在控制HSC/MPPs和单核细胞两者向巨噬细胞终末分化的增殖和分化中的作用。
如本文中所公开的,已经示出VentX在从外周血液以及肠粘膜两者分离的人原代DC中表达。利用功能缺失和功能获得两种方法,展示出VentX通过IL6介导机制调控DC的分化和成熟。在从IBD患者的发炎粘膜分离的DC中VentX表达升高,并且VentX的敲低减少了DC的成熟应答。而且,VentX是皮质类固醇的下游靶标和效应子。本文中公开的数据展示了VentX是DC成熟和功能的关键调控子,并且VentX能够作为炎症性疾病和免疫疗法的干预目标。
在一个方面,本发明大体上涉及一种调控树突状细胞的方法。该方法包括向需要给药的对象给药治疗上有效量的组合物,该组合物包含发挥人同源盒基因VentX的调节作用的生物或化学药剂。
在另一个方面,本发明大体上涉及一种筛选用于树突状细胞的调控功能的化合物的方法。该方法包括:(a)提供包含多核苷酸的细胞,该多核苷酸包含VentX启动子;(b)使细胞与候选化合物接触;以及(c)检测VentX表达的活性。
在又一个方面,本发明大体上涉及一种药物组合物,该药物组合物包含通过人同源盒基因VentX的调节作用在树突状细胞上发挥调控作用的生物或化学药剂。
在又一个方面,本发明大体上涉及一种诊断对象的与树突状细胞的成熟相关联的炎症性病症的方法,包括人同源盒基因VentX的表达谱的测定。在某些实施方式中,炎症性病症是自体免疫疾病。
在又一个方面,本发明大体上涉及一种抑制肿瘤的方法。该方法包括向需要给药的对象给药治疗上有效量的组合物,该组合物包含在树突状细胞功能上发挥调节作用的生物或化学药剂。

如本文中所使用,术语“抗体”指代能够结合表位或抗原决定簇的分子。该术语意欲包括整个抗体及其抗原结合片段,包括单链抗体。抗体可以来自任意的动物来源。优选的是,抗体是哺乳动物类的,如人、鼠、兔、羊、豚鼠、骆驼和马等,或者其他合适的动物。抗体可以识别多肽或多核苷酸抗原。该术语包括活性片段,例如包括免疫球蛋白的抗原结合片段、重链的可变和/或恒定区、轻链的可变和/或恒定区、互补性决定区(cdr)和构架区。该术语包括多克隆和单克隆抗体制剂,以及包括下列的制剂:混合抗体、改造抗体、嵌合抗体、混合抗体分子、F(ab)2和F(ab)片段;Fv分子(例如非共价异质二聚体)、二聚和三聚的抗体片段构建;微抗体、人源化抗体分子、以及从这些分子获得的任何功能性片段,其中这些片段保留特异性结合。
在组合物或剂型中明显存在多于一个抗体时,单数术语“一(a)”或“一(an)”或“所述(the)”抗体的使用无意限制其为单一抗体。另外,除非另有说明,“抗体”的单数术语可以包括在其结构或特异性上不一定为异源的抗体的集合。
如本文中所使用,术语“人源化”抗体指代具有抗原接合位点的分子,所述抗原接合位点大致衍生自来自非人类物种的免疫球蛋白,并且分子的剩余免疫球蛋白结构基于人免疫球蛋白的结构和/或序列。抗原接合位点可以包含融合于恒定域的全长可变域,或者只包含接枝至可变域中合适的框架区的互补性决定区(CDR)。抗原接合位点可以是野生型或被一个以上氨基酸取代修饰,如修饰为更加接近地类似人免疫球蛋白。人源化抗体的一些形式保留了全部CDR序列(如含有源自鼠抗体的全部6个CDR的人源化鼠抗体)。人源化抗体的其他形式具有相对原始抗体改造的一个以上CDR(一个、两个、三个、四个、五个、六个)。
在抗体结合的语境下术语“特异性结合”指代抗体向特异性表位的高亲和力(avidity)和/或高亲和性(affinity)结合。因此,特异性结合于一个表位(“第一表位”)并且不结合于另一个表位(“第二表位”)的抗体是“特异性抗体”。如果两个表位共有同源性或其他相似性,特异于第一表位的抗体可以与第二表位交叉反应并结合至第二表位。在多核苷酸的语境下术语“特异性结合”指代严格条件下的杂交。增加DNA/DNA杂交反应和DNA/RNA杂交反应两者的严格性的条件广泛已知,并且在本领域中发表(Curr.Prot.Molec.Biol.,John Wiley&Sons(2001))。

具体实施方式
本发明部分基于VentX在调控DC的成熟和功能中起重要作用的发现。VentX通过IL6介导机制调控DC分化和成熟。在从IBD患者的发炎粘膜分离的DC中VentX表达升高,并且VentX的敲低减少了DC的成熟应答。本文中公开的数据展示了VentX能够作为炎症性疾病和免疫疗法的干预目标。
本文中的公开表明,单核细胞中VentX表达的去除显著损害了它们向DC的分化。相反地,VentX在单核细胞THP1中的过度表达加速了它们向DC的分化。增加的IL6表达部分地导致在VentX敲低的单核细胞中DC分化缺陷。临床重要的是在来自炎症性肠病患者的发炎粘膜的肠粘膜固有层DC(LPDC)中VentX表达增加的发现。敲低实验示出VentX对于LPDC的成熟至关重要。除此之外,类固醇治疗明显降低VentX在LPDC中的表达,并且VentX的强制表达抵消了类固醇的效果。总而言之,本文中公开的数据展示了VentX是DC分化和成熟的关键转录调控子,并且是免疫调控和疗法的潜在干预目标。
DC分化和成熟的机制由于其在免疫调控和疗法中的潜在应用,成为重大兴趣的焦点。因为已经了解了影响单核细胞分化成DC的细胞因子的丰富信息,DC分化潜在的关键转录调控事件仍未完全明确。(Gabriele等,2004 Blood 103(3):p.980-7;Hart等,2005Gastroenterology 129(1):p.50-65;Dillon等,2010 J Immunol 184(12):p.6612-21;Bell等,2001 J Immunol 166(8):p.4958-67.)在本研究中示出人同源盒蛋白VentX是DC分化和成熟的关键调控子。提供了示出在从IBD患者的发炎粘膜分离的DC中VentX表达升高的证据。发现了VentX是通常用于治疗自体免疫炎症性病症的皮质类固醇的下游靶标。
近来的研究表明,VentX是关键造血转录因子,其表达在所有谱系的造血细胞的个体发育期间受到限制并被高度调控。发现了VentX在早期造血及终末分化和成熟两者期间支配造血细胞的增殖和分化。机制上来说,VentX被发现拮抗经典Wnt信号转导以及激活p53/p21和pRb/p16衰老途径,从而在细胞增殖上发挥其效果。同时,VentX在造血细胞的谱系分化期间,激活各种细胞分化信号转导。VentX敲低在早期和终末期两者期间阻断造血细胞的分化,表明VentX对于造血细胞的分化是通用容许因子。VentX是否在谱系发育中起作用仍然需要进一步明确。结果显示VentX在U937细胞中的异位表达促进巨噬细胞发育,而VentX在THP1细胞中的异位表达促进DC发育,表明VentX在造血细胞分化上的效果是细胞类型特异性的。
对VentX调控DC分化的潜在机制的探索导向IL6,其是DC分化中涉及的关键信号。(Chomarat等,2000 Nat Immunol 1(6):p.510-4;Mitani等,2000 Br J Haematol 109(2):p.288-95;Park等,2004 J Immunol 173(6):p.3844-54.)先前的研究显示出通过(-IFN、Wnt5a、HLA-G和转录因子ESE-3对DC分化的抑制导致增加的IL6分泌或信号转导[9,35-38]。(Delneste等,2003Blood 101(1):p.143-50;Liang等,2008 Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A105(24):p.8357-62;Appel等,2006 Blood 107(8):p.3265-70;Valencia等,2011 JImmunol 187(8):p.4129-39;Bharadwaj等,2007 Cancer Res 67(11):p.5479-88.)结果显示IL6表达在VentX敲低的DC中增加(图3A和C),而VentX的过度表达抑制IL6表达(图3B和C)。重要的是,发现在VentX敲低时受损的DC分化能够部分地通过用IL6抗体减少IL6信号转导来挽救。机制上的探索表明,VentX通过其在THP1细胞中NF(B结合至IL6启动子域的效果,部分调控IL6表达。与VentX在分化上的细胞类型特异性效果一致,先前的研究显示VentX促进IL在巨噬细胞U937细胞中的表达。对VentX调控的IL6表达的细胞类型特异性效果的潜在机制有着重大兴趣,并且是本调查研究的目标。
近来在DC生物学上的发展表明,循环单核细胞的异常成熟和激活涉及肠粘膜炎症的发病机制。VentX表达在从IBD患者的发炎粘膜中分离的DC细胞中异常升高的发现表明确定VentX作为DC分化和成熟的新颖关键调控子的临床相关性。在调节DC活性和自体免疫/炎症性病症中靶向VentX的潜在应用已经由VentX是皮质类固醇的下游靶标以及VentX介导类固醇在DC成熟和激活上的抑制效果指明。需要进一步的研究,以明确VentX调控的DC分化和激活如何通过宿主和微生物因子调节。这样的信息对于理解IBD中肠粘膜的区域性损伤将非常关键。皮质类固醇和其他现有可用的免疫抑制剂的难治性(refractory)是管理自体免疫和炎症性疾病的中心问题。

随着近期发现VentX在人原代单核细胞中表达,在通过GM-CSF和IL-4处理诱导的原代单核细胞向树突状细胞分化期间检查了VentX表达。(Grassl等,1999 J Am SocNephrol 10(7):p.1466-77.)发现了在诱导的DC分化期间,VentX表达在mRNA和蛋白质水平两者都经历了显著的增加(图S1)。为了探索VentX在DC分化中的潜在作用,检查了VentX敲低在体外DC分化上的效果。在转染5天后,VentX siRNA在单核细胞中产生了最低限度的VentX敲低效能(未公布数据),而DC从单核细胞中的体外分化需要与GM-CSF和IL4温育5~7天。(Iwamoto等,2007 J Immunol 179(3):p.1449-57;Gabriele等,2004 Blood 103(3):p.980-7.)为了在单核细胞中获得持久的VentX敲低效果,开发了吗啉代(MO)介导的VentX敲低策略。设计了两个不同的吗啉代反义寡核苷酸(VentX MO和VentX MO-2),并且测试了对于VentX的敲低效能。如图S2所示,在转染后5天时,两个吗啉代序列与对照序列相比都抑制VentX在DC中的表达。新鲜分离的CD14+CD1a-单核细胞在用GM-CSF和IL-4培养时,在体外分化为未成熟的CD14-CD1a+DC。(Bell等,2001 J Immunol 166(8):p.4958-67.)在分别用对照MO或VentX MO转染的单核细胞中,检查了CD1a抗原的表面表达。如图1所示,与对照MO相比,VentX MO MO的转染导致了CD14-CD1a+细胞百分比的实质性减少(图1A-B)。被认为是单核细胞衍生的DC的附加分化标志物的CD1b、CD1c和CD11c的表面表达在VentX MO转染的细胞中被类似地下调(图1C-D,图S3)。(Osugi等,2002 Blood 100(8):p.2858-66.)VentX MO的转染不在DC中造成过度的细胞死亡(数据未示出),其排除了分化下降是由于细胞活性受到危害的可能性。诸如CD16、CD36和CD64的其他表面抗原的表达,甘露糖受体(MR)和Toll样受体4(TLR4)在VentX MO转染的DC中删除剩余的未变化物(图S3),进一步支持了VentX MO转染在DC分化上发挥了特异性效果。为了确证VentX在调控DC分化中的作用,在原代单核细胞中异位表达VentX,并且在细胞因子处理3天后确定CD14-CD1a+细胞。VentX在单核细胞中的过度表达极大地加速了DC分化(图1E-F)。总的来说,数据展示出VentX是原代单核细胞向DC分化的关键调控子。
VentX促进树突状细胞分化
人单核细胞系THP1在适当的分化条件下能够被诱导而分化为具有表型和功能性质类似于原代DC的未成熟的和成熟的DC。(Ogasawara等,2009 Biochem Biophys ResCommun 389(3):p.543-9;Menetrier-Caux等,1998 Blood 92(12):p.4778-91.)为了进一步探索VentX在树突状细胞分化上的效果及其潜在机制,在强力霉素可诱导启动子控制下,生成了表达GFP或GFP.VentX的稳定THP1细胞系。已经报道了VentX起抗增殖和促分化转录因子的作用。(Wu等,2011 J Clin Invest 121(7):p.2599-613;Kamada等,2008 J ClinInvest 118(6):p.2269-80;Berges等,2005 Biochem Biophys Res Commun 333(3):p.896-907;Grassl等,1999 J Am Soc Nephrol 10(7):p.1466-77.)因此,首先检查了VentX的过度表达是否能够在THP1细胞的增殖上发挥抑制作用。与先前的研究一致,VentX在THP1细胞中的表达引起了明显的生长抑制(图2A)和G1细胞周期停滞(图2B),其与通过VentX的c-myc表达的下调和p21表达的上调相关联(图2C-D)。为了判定VentX表达在THP1细胞的DC分化上的效果,开发了次优的诱导条件,在该条件下可以观察到GFP转导的THP1细胞的温和分化(图2E,上栏)。在此条件下,VentX的过度表达显著加速了THP1细胞的DC分化。如图2E所示,VentX转导的THP1细胞显示了CD1a、CD11c、CD40、CD86和HLA-DR的表面表达的明显增加,表明在这些细胞中的增强的DC分化。在VentX转导的THP1细胞中,CD36、CD64和CD80的表达维持基本不变(图S4)。突出的是,VentX转导的THP1细胞变得与大量的树突形成粘附并且扁平化(图2F,右栏),类似于从原代单核细胞衍生的DC的形态。相对而言,在GFP转导的细胞中没有观察到这样的形态变化(图2F,左栏)。总之,这些结果表明VentX可以在DC分化中起普遍的作用。
IL-6介导DC分化的VentX调控
为了阐明VentX调控DC分化和成熟的潜在机制,通过反转录PCR和细胞间染色分析了已知对于DC发育重要的细胞因子的表达水平。而IL1(、TNF(和IL10表达未检测出明显变化(数据未示出),IL6表达在用VentX MO转染的细胞中一致地增加。已经示出IL6抑制从CD14+单核细胞和CD34+祖细胞两者中的DC分化和成熟。(Gabriele等,2004 Blood 103(3):p.980-7;Dendorfer等,1994 Mol Cell Biol 14(7):p.4443-54;Isshiki等,1990 MolCell Biol 10(6):p.2757-64;Libermann等,1990 Mol Cell Biol 10(5):p.2327-34.)为了确证敲低实验的结果,检查了VentX的异位表达在IL6表达水平上的效果。与功能缺失型途径一致,VentX的过度表达在原代单核细胞中减少了IL6mRNA水平(图3C)并且抑制了IL6的生成(图3B)。为了判定VentX是否在转录水平抑制IL6表达,进行了具有IL6启动子的荧光素酶报告基因分析。评价了VentX对592bp IL6启动子荧光素酶报告基因和几个缺失突变体结构体活性的影响。(de Jong等,1999 J Leukoc Biol 66(2):p.201-4.)如图3D所示,VentX在原代单核细胞中显著抑制了-592bp IL6启动子活性。先前的研究已经描述了几个人IL-6启动子中的功能性顺式调控元件,包括AP1(-283至-277bp)、C/EBP(-158至-145bp以及-87至-76bp)和NF(B(-75至-63bp)33-36的结合位点。有趣的是,仅包含NF(B结合位点33的-80bp IL6启动子的活性被VentX抑制在与-592bp IL6启动子的活性类似的程度(图3E),说明VentX可以靶向NF(B结合位点从而调控IL6表达。为了检验这一假设,进行了IL6启动子的突变分析,并且发现-80bp IL6启动子上的NF(B结合位点的突变废除了VentX抑制启动子报告基因活性的能力(图3F)。为了判定NF(B是否涉及VentX调控的IL6表达,检查了VentX对NF(B表达上的效果及其与IL6启动子的相互作用的影响。发现了VentX不影响NF(B的表达(数据未示出)。然而,使用染色质免疫沉淀分析发现,VentX的异位表达导致NF(B向IL6启动子的结合减少(图3G),表明VentX通过抑制NF(B与IL6启动子的相互作用,在转录水平上抑制IL6表达。进一步调查在VentX MO转染的单核细胞中受损的DC分化是否能够归因于这些细胞中的IL6分泌增加。为了解决这个问题,将抗IL6的中和抗体添加至VentX MO转染的单核细胞的培养基中,并且通过CD1a表面表达的流式细胞术分析评价了DC的分化。如图4所示,用特异性抗体中和IL6活性显著地改善了VentX MO转染的单核细胞中的DC分化缺陷,指明VentX至少部分地通过调节IL6自分泌生产而调控DC分化。
VentX调控树突状细胞成熟
在用诸如LPS的细菌组分刺激时,DC经历成熟过程。为了探索VentX是否在DC成熟中起作用,使用PCR分析方法在LPS诱导的成熟过程中检查了VentX对DC基因表达谱的变化上的影响。PCR分析包括对于DC成熟重要的抗原摄取和呈递中涉及的基因、细胞因子/趋化因子和它们的受体。炎症中涉及的细胞表面受体和信号转导因子也包括在此分析中。如图5A-E所示,VentX的过度表达诱导很多种基因的上调,诸如CD1抗原、协同刺激因子CD80和CD86、HLA分子、促炎细胞因子IL12和TNF(、趋化因子CCL2(MCP-1)、CCL3(MIP-1()和CCL5(RANTES)、趋化因子受体CCR5和CXCR4以及Toll样受体(TLR)。除此之外,CSF1R(M-SCF受体)和CDKN1A(p21)的表达也如先前所展示的增加。(Wu等,2011 J Biol Chem 286(14):p.12693-701;Wu等,2011 J Clin Invest 121(7):p.2599-613.)通过独立PRC反应,使用不同的引物集进一步证实了PCR分析的结果。如图5F所示,独立的定量PCR实验产生了与PCR分析一致的结果;因此表明了VentX在DC成熟过程期间的潜在作用。
VentX在肠粘膜炎症期间调控DC成熟
在炎症性肠病的发病机制中,在粘膜炎症中已经涉及了DC的异常激活。为了解决这个问题,从患有溃疡性结肠炎和克罗恩氏病的患者发炎粘膜以及正常粘膜中分离了粘膜固有层DC(LPDC)。通过RT-PCR方法判定了这些DC中的VentX表达水平。如图6A所示,与来自非炎症区域的LPDC相比,VentX表达水平在来自炎症区域的LPDC中显著升高(图6A)。为了判定VentX的升高表达是否与DC的异常激活相关,检验了VentX敲低对LPDC的成熟和激活上的影响。如图6B-C所示,在检查的细胞表面标志物中间,在LPDC中的VentX敲低显著地下调了协同刺激因子CD40、CD80和CD86、趋化因子受体CCR7以及模式识别受体TLR2和TLR4的表达,先前已经示出其在来自IBD患者的发炎粘膜的DC中被上调。CD83的表达不被VentX敲低影响。细胞间染色展示出VentX敲低的LPDC产生较少的炎症性细胞因子IL12、TNF(和趋化因子CCL3、CCL5。一致地,与对照LPDC细胞相比,反转录PCR揭示了VentX敲低的LPDC细胞中的CCL2、CCL3、CCL5、CXCL12、IL12、TNF(和TLR的mRNA水平的显著下降(图6D)。除表型特征之外,功能性分析示出LPDC细胞中的VentX敲低显著地损害了DC刺激原代T细胞增殖的能力(图6E)。诸如皮质类固醇的免疫抑制剂在中度到重度IBD患者的粘膜炎症的管理中仍然作为主要治疗模式,并且已经报道了其调节DC成熟和功能。(de Jong等,1999 J Leukoc Biol66(2):p.201-4 Piemonti等,1999 J Immunol 162(11):p.6473-81.)为了判定VentX是否可能是IBD中类固醇治疗的下游靶标,检查了用强的松体外处理的LPDC中的VentX表达水平。如图6F所示,类固醇治疗显著地降低了LPDC中的VentX表达以及诸如IL2、TNF、CCL5的促炎性细胞因子的表达(图6G)。当VentX在DC中异位表达时,皮质类固醇在促炎性细胞因子的表达上的抑制效果显著地减少,表明类固醇通过在DC中下调VentX表达部分地发挥其抗炎性。
