TGF-beta 2 decreases migration of lymphocytes in vitro and homing of cells into the central nervous system in vivo

Z Fabry et al. J Immunol. 1995.

Abstract

Migration of leukocytes through an in vitro, cell culture model of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) composed of murine brain microvessel endothelial (En) cells and astrocytes, and in vivo in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE), was investigated. We have recently shown that the adhesiveness of cultured murine brain microvascular endothelial cells for lymphocytes can be increased significantly by pretreatment with IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, IFN-gamma, and LPS. In the present study, we investigated the role of TGF-beta 2 on the migration of leukocytes through the BBB. In vitro migration was assessed by measuring the percentage of 51Cr-labeled leukocytes migrating through the En/astrocyte monolayers. The basal level of migration was up-regulated significantly by treating the En/astrocyte monolayers with IL-1 alpha, IFN-gamma, TNF-alpha, and LPS. The ability of these cytokines to modulate migration was dose-dependent. Treatment of En cell/astrocyte monolayers with TGF-beta 2 down-regulated the level of leukocyte migration up-regulated by IL-1 alpha, IFN-gamma, and TNF-alpha in vitro in a dose-dependent manner. TGF-beta 2 also inhibited the migration of lymphocytes into the central nervous system (CNS) in vivo in a dose-dependent fashion. Taken together, these findings strongly suggest that TGF-beta plays an important role in the reduction of lymphocyte infiltration into the CNS in inflammatory demyelinating diseases such as EAE.
