The mechanisms by which vesicles of syncytiotrophoblast plasma membranes (STPM) prepared from full-term human placentas inhibit lymphocyte proliferation have been investigated. In the presence of STPM, IL-2 secretion and the expression of protein P55 (IL-2R P55) from its receptor were examined in two models of PBMC proliferation: induced by PHA in 3-day-old cultures, and induced by IL-2 in 6-day-old cultures. In the case of PHA stimulation, STPM strongly inhibited IL-2 (but not IL-1) secretion and IL-2R P55 expression at a concentration where lymphocyte proliferation was also blocked. In these conditions, the addition of excess recombinant IL-2 (rIL-2) only partially restored proliferation and IL-2R P55 expression. In addition, STPM inhibited proliferation and IL-2R P55 expression when resting PBMC were stimulated by a high concentration of rIL-2. These results suggest that STPM inhibit lymphocyte proliferation by affecting one or several events occurring in the synthesis and/or expression of IL-2R P55 by a mechanism which is at least partially independent of its inhibitory effect on IL-2 secretion. The significance of these results is discussed in the context of the survival of the fetal allograft.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007375 Interleukin-1 A soluble factor produced by MONOCYTES; MACROPHAGES, and other cells which activates T-lymphocytes and potentiates their response to mitogens or antigens. Interleukin-1 is a general term refers to either of the two distinct proteins, INTERLEUKIN-1ALPHA and INTERLEUKIN-1BETA. The biological effects of IL-1 include the ability to replace macrophage requirements for T-cell activation.

D008213 Lymphocyte Activation Morphologic alteration of small B LYMPHOCYTES or T LYMPHOCYTES in culture into large blast-like cells able to synthesize DNA and RNA and to divide mitotically. It is induced by INTERLEUKINS; MITOGENS such as PHYTOHEMAGGLUTININS, and by specific ANTIGENS. It may also occur in vivo as in GRAFT REJECTION.
