Etapas de diferenciación de los linfocitos T

Estadios de diferenciación de los linfocitos T:
Desde la médula ósea, las células progenitoras pasan al timo para su posterior maduración. Las células DN (sin expresión de CD4/CD8 o CD4-/CD8-) no han desarrollado el receptor de linfocitos T. Las células DN experimentan un reordenamiento del gen del receptor de linfocitos T y se convierten en prolinfocitos T y luego en prelinfocitos T. A través del proceso, se expresan CD4 y CD8, y el receptor de linfocitos T se ensambla a través de reordenamientos genéticos (células DP). El timo presenta entonces moléculas CMH a los linfocitos T en desarrollo. Algunas células experimentan selección positiva (se produce una interacción intermedia entre el CMH y el receptor de linfocitos T) y producen células funcionales. Algunas células experimentan selección negativa (fuerte interacción entre el CMH y el receptor de linfocitos T), lo que provoca la muerte celular. Se evita la liberación de linfocitos T disfuncionales, que pueden activar la autoinmunidad. Algunos linfocitos T no logran interactuar, lo que conduce a la apoptosis. Los linfocitos T maduros expresan CD4 (linfocitos T colaboradores) o CD8 (linfocitos T citotóxicos), pero no ambos.

Recuerde la “regla del 8”:

  • Restricción del CMH: el linfocito T está “restringido” a unirse a un antígeno solo cuando se presenta por la clase apropiada de proteína CMH.
  • Los LOS Neisseria linfocitos T CD4 positivos reconocen el antígeno asociado a las proteínas CMH de clase II (4 × 2 = 8).
  • Los LOS Neisseria linfocitos T CD8 positivos reconocen el antígeno asociado a las proteínas CMH de clase I (8 × 1 = 8).

Activación y Diferenciación de Linfocitos T

Liberación del timo

  • Antes de que los LOS Neisseria linfocitos T salgan del timo, han interactuado con antígenos propios, se han sometido a la restricción del CMH y expresan CD4 o CD8.
  • Los LOS Neisseria linfocitos T liberados que expresan el complejo receptor Receptor Receptors are proteins located either on the surface of or within a cell that can bind to signaling molecules known as ligands (e.g., hormones) and cause some type of response within the cell. Receptors de linfocitos T-CD3 α-β de superficie con correceptores CD4 o CD8 se consideran linfocitos T maduros vírgenes:
    • No es suficiente para la proliferación y activación, ya que los LOS Neisseria linfocitos T liberados no han interactuado con un antígeno extraño
    • Estos linfocitos T circulan por la sangre y se dirigen a los LOS Neisseria tejidos linfoides secundarios.
    • Estos órganos linfoides secundarios (e.g., ganglios linfáticos) filtran el material antigénico, permitiendo que los LOS Neisseria linfocitos T maduros vírgenes:
      • Interactúen con células presentadoras de antígeno, como macrófagos o células dendríticas
      • Muestreen los LOS Neisseria antígenos para activarse
    • Si no se produce la activación, los LOS Neisseria linfocitos T recirculan.

Activación

  • La activación completa de linfocitos T listos para organizar una respuesta inmune requiere 2 señales:
    1.

Receptors de linfocitos T reconoce su antígeno afín, tal TAL Renal Sodium and Water Regulation y como lo presenta la célula presentadora de antígeno (e.g., célula dendrítica).
    2. Coestimulación:
      • Provista por una molécula coestimuladora (e.g., CD28 CD28 Costimulatory t-lymphocyte receptors that have specificity for CD80 antigen and CD86 antigen. Activation of this receptor results in increased t-cell proliferation, cytokine production and promotion of t-cell survival. T cells: Types and Functions)
      • Se caracteriza por la proteína B7 en EN Erythema nodosum is an immune-mediated panniculitis (inflammation of the subcutaneous fat) caused by a type IV (delayed-type) hypersensitivity reaction.

      • Necesaria para la supervivencia y proliferación
      • Requerida para inducir diferenciación (estado efector o de memoria)
      • Permite la cooperación entre células
  • Sin la señal coestimuladora, el linfocito T puede adoptar un estado de anergia (la célula está viva pero con falta de respuesta parcial o total debido a una activación parcial).
  • Efectos:
    • La coestimulación ayuda a evitar la activación de linfocitos T por antígenos benignos.
    • Además, los linfocitos T CD8+, que son citotóxicos, requieren una “señal” adicional dada por las citoquinas de los LOS Neisseria linfocitos T CD4+ (lo que evita una activación inadvertida).

Modelo de 2 señales - Dependencia de las linfocitos T de la coestimulación

Modelo de 2 señales de la dependencia de los linfocitos T de la coestimulación:
Cuando están presentes tanto la señal 1 (unión del receptor de linfocitos T con el antígeno afín presentado por la molécula del CMH en la célula presentadora del antígeno) como la señal 2 (interacción de la molécula coestimuladora entre la célula presentadora del antígeno y el linfocito T), el linfocito T maduro está totalmente activado.
El punto naranja en el panel de la izquierda indica la unión adecuada entre el antígeno y el receptor de linfocitos T. Sin embargo, cuando falta la señal 1 (la imagen del medio muestra la ausencia de la unión entre el antígeno y el receptor de linfocitos T) o la señal 2 (la imagen de la derecha muestra la ausencia de coestimulación), el linfocito T no se activará completamente.
Los resultados serían anergia (falta de respuesta), apoptosis (muerte celular) o ignorancia (el linfocito T no se da cuenta o no se ve afectado por el antígeno).
