多巴胺D1样受体拮抗剂能抑制Th17介导的免疫反应和卵清蛋白抗原诱导的中性粒细胞性气道炎症

过敏性气道炎症一般认为是Th2型免疫反应。近期研究显示,Th17型免疫反应也在过敏性气道炎症,特别是在中性粒细胞气道炎症(严重哮喘的标志)的致病中起到重要作用。我们前期的研究发现,树突状细胞针对幼稚CD4(+) T 细胞,通过抗原特异性细胞间相互作用释放多巴胺,后者与多巴胺D1样受体结合后诱导Th17细胞分化。D1样受体拮抗剂能缓解Th17介导的疾病,如实验性自身免疫性脑脊髓炎和自身免疫性糖尿病。然而,抑制D1样受体对Th17介导的气道炎症的影响尚未深入研究。本试验旨在研究D1样受体拮抗剂是否能抑制卵清蛋白(OVA)TCR转基因小鼠(DO11.10小鼠)中OVA诱导的中性粒细胞气道炎症,并阐述该作用的机制。DO11.10小鼠雾化吸入OVA或PBS,一部分小鼠在OVA雾化吸入之前口服D1样受体拮抗剂。D1样受体拮抗剂能显著抑制DO11.10小鼠OVA诱导的中性粒细胞气道炎症,同样能抑制IL-17的产生和肺部IL-17细胞的浸润。此外,D1样受体拮抗剂能抑制肺部CD11c(+)APC产生IL-23。相反,D1样受体拮抗剂不能增加肺内Foxp3(+)调节性T细胞含量。D1样受体拮抗剂既不能抑制非特异性LPS诱导的中性粒细胞气道炎症,也不能抑制OVA诱导的嗜酸性粒细胞气道炎症。这些结果显示,D1样受体拮抗剂能抑制Th17介导的中性粒细胞气道炎症。因此,抑制D1样受体有可能成为治疗中性粒细胞依赖性严重哮喘的一个新策略。

Abstract
Allergic airway inflammation is generally considered a Th2-type immune response. Recent studies, however, demonstrated that Th17-type immune responses also play important roles in this process, especially in the pathogenesis of neutrophilic airway inflammation, a hallmark of severe asthma. We previously reported that dendritic cells release dopamine to naive CD4(+) T cells in Ag-specific cell-cell interaction, in turn inducing Th17 differentiation through dopamine D1-like receptor (D1-like-R). D1-like-R antagonist attenuates Th17-mediated diseases such as experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and autoimmune diabetes. However, the effect of antagonizing D1-like-R on Th17-mediated airway inflammation has yet to be studied. In this study, we examined whether D1-like-R antagonist suppresses OVA-induced neutrophilic airway inflammation in OVA TCR-transgenic DO11.10 mice and then elucidated the mechanism of action. DO11.10 mice were nebulized with OVA or PBS, and some mice received D1-like-R antagonist orally before OVA nebulization. D1-like-R antagonist significantly suppressed OVA-induced neutrophilic airway inflammation in DO11.10 mice. It also inhibited the production of IL-17 and infiltration of Th17 cells in the lung. Further, D1-like-R antagonist suppressed the production of IL-23 by lung CD11c(+) APCs. In contrast, D1-like-R antagonist did not increase Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells in the lung. D1-like-R antagonist neither suppressed nonspecific LPS-induced neutrophilic airway inflammation nor OVA-induced eosinophilic airway inflammation. These results indicate that D1-like-R antagonist could suppress Th17-mediated neutrophilic airway inflammation, raising the possibility that antagonizing D1-like-R serves as a promising new strategy for treating neutrophil-dominant severe asthma.
