Resumen:
To evaluate the ability of interleukin (IL)-15 to control T cell functions through its influence on CD30 and OX40 expressing cells in Celiac Disease (CD). In peripheral blood (PB), by examining the expression of OX40 in conventional effectors cells and T cells with a phenotypic specialization of regulatory cells [CD4(+)CD25(high) forkhead box protein 3 (Foxp3)(+)], and the co stimulation of IFN-γ and IL-4 production within CD30 and OX40 positive subsets of T cells. At the duodenal mucosa, by assessing the expression of CD30 and OX40 in intraepithelial (IE) and lamina propria (LP) lymphocytes (IEL, LPL). PATIENTS AND METHODS: PB and duodenal mucosal biopsies were obtained from 38 patients with classic CD (Cel) and 38 healthy controls (HC). Analysis of cell surface and/or intracellular antigens was performed in anti-CD3-treated PB mononuclear cells (PBMC) before and after treatment with recombinant IL-15 (rIL-15), and in IE and LP cellular suspensions prepared from duodenal biopsies pre-treated with/without rIL-15. RESULTS: A subpopulation of CD3(+)OX40(+) T blasts was induced in Cel and HC by a 3days treatment of PBMC with anti-CD3 and decreased its size thereafter, regardless of the presence of rIL-15. However, the addition of rIL-15 to T blasts distinctively induced the survival of T cells with a regulatory phenotype that expresses OX40 antigen in Cel (p
