A large body of evidence points to a pivotal relationship between Th-1 cells and mucosal inflammation in Crohn's disease (CD). The aim of the present study was to assess whether CD is associated with specific functional activity of lamina propria T lymphocytes (LPT), particularly purified CD4, such as cytotoxic activity and specific cytokine-secreted profile. The results showed that CD4 LPT in patients displayed a chronically activated memory-like surface phenotype and, when compared to controls, had a significantly enhanced antibody-redirected cytotoxicity. Interestingly, the ratio of perforin expression in CD4 LPT was higher compared to controls, and a redirected lysis of human RBC mediated by a CD4 subset of intestinal lamina propria was evident, suggesting a cytolytic pore-forming mechanism. Moreover, a unique Th-1 cytokine profile pattern in the CD4 cells from CD was defined. These effector cells produced 12 times more IFN-gamma, two times more TNF-alpha, and three times less IL-4 than controls. In contrast, no increase in IL-2 was detected, while IL-5 was undetectable. Our studies suggest that these preexisting in vivo activated CD4 LPT may play an important role in the inflammatory process in CD, thus directly contributing to the intestinal lesions.

D002477 Cells The fundamental, structural, and functional units or subunits of living organisms. They are composed of CYTOPLASM containing various ORGANELLES and a CELL MEMBRANE boundary. Cell
D003424 Crohn Disease A chronic transmural inflammation that may involve any part of the DIGESTIVE TRACT from MOUTH to ANUS, mostly found in the ILEUM, the CECUM, and the COLON. In Crohn disease, the inflammation, extending through the intestinal wall from the MUCOSA to the serosa, is characteristically asymmetric and segmental. Epithelioid GRANULOMAS may be seen in some patients.

D000920 Antibody-Dependent Cell Cytotoxicity The phenomenon of antibody-mediated target cell destruction by non-sensitized effector cells. The identity of the target cell varies, but it must possess surface IMMUNOGLOBULIN G whose Fc portion is intact. The effector cell is a "killer" cell possessing Fc receptors. It may be a lymphocyte lacking conventional B- or T-cell markers, or a monocyte, macrophage, or polynuclear leukocyte, depending on the identity of the target cell. The reaction is complement-independent.

D015496 CD4-Positive T-Lymphocytes A critical subpopulation of T-lymphocytes involved in the induction of most immunological functions. The HIV virus has selective tropism for the T4 cell which expresses the CD4 phenotypic marker, a receptor for HIV. In fact, the key element in the profound immunosuppression seen in HIV infection is the depletion of this subset of T-lymphocytes.

D016207 Cytokines Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner. Cytokine
D018414 CD8-Positive T-Lymphocytes A critical subpopulation of regulatory T-lymphocytes involved in MHC Class I-restricted interactions.

D018417 Th1 Cells A subset of helper-inducer T-lymphocytes which synthesize and secrete INTERLEUKIN-2; INTERFERON-GAMMA; and INTERLEUKIN-12. Due to their ability to kill antigen-presenting cells and their lymphokine-mediated effector activity, Th1 cells are associated with vigorous delayed-type hypersensitivity reactions.
