dc.description.abstractThe T cell immunoglobulin mucin (TIM) proteins regulate T cell activation and tolerance. Individual TIM family members may serve as susceptibility markers for asthma, allergies and autoimmune diseases, as well as potential cell surface markers for T helper type (Th)1 and Th2 T cells. TIM-1 plays an important role in the regulation of immune responses and the development of autoimmune diseases. TIM-4 is a natural ligand of TIM-1, and interaction of TIM-1 and TIM-4 is involved in the regulation of Th cell responses and the modulation of the Th1/Th2 cytokines balance. TIM-4 expression was increased in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It has been also reported that TIM-3 expression was higher in patients with rheumatoid arthritis compared to controls. Further, Galectin-9 (Gal-9) has been identified as a TIM-3 ligand (L) and the TIM-3-TIM-3L interaction serves as a specific down-regulator of the Th1 immune response. Behçet’s disease (BD) is a chronic, multisystemic inflammatory disorder with arthritic, gastrointestinal, mucocutaneous, ocular, vascular, and central nervous system involvement. In herpes simplex virus induced BD mouse model, the expression of Tim-1 and Gal-9 was lower levels compared to asymptomatic BD normal (BDN) mice. The expression of Tim-3 and Tim-4 was higher in BD mice than BDN mice. In addition, Tim-1 vector injected BD mice showed changes of BD-like symptoms and decreased the severity score. Again, treatment with Tim-4 siRNA also improved the BD-like symptoms and decreased the severity score accompanied with up-regulation of regulatory T cells (Treg). Furthermore, administration of Gal-9 improved the BD-like symptoms, decreased the severity score, and increased Treg cells. In addition, Gal-9 induced improvement was associated with down-regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and induction of apoptosis. In the present study, we showed that the regulation of Tim-1 or Tim-4 affected the BD-like symptoms and Tim-3-Tim-3L interaction improved the inflammatory symptoms in BD mice.-
dc.description.abstractT cell immunoglobulin mucin domain (TIM) 단백질은 T 세포의 활성과 tolerance를 조절한다. TIM family는 천식, 알레르기, 자가면역질환에 대한 감수성이 높은 표식자로 알려져 있다. TIM-1은 면역반응 조절과 자가면역질환을 일으키는데 중요한 역할을 하며, TIM-4는 TIM-1의 ligand로 알려져 있다. Tim-1과 Tim-4의 상호작용은 Th 세포 반응의 조절과 Th1/Th2 사이토카인의 균형을 조절한다고 보고되었다. TIM-3와 TIM-3 ligand 인 galectin-9 (Gal-9) 의 상호작용은 Th1 면역반응을 특이적으로 저해한다고 알려져 있다. 베체트병은 만성 염증질환으로 재발성 구강궤양, 외음부궤양, 피부 및 안증상 등이 특징인 질병이다. 베체트병은 여러증상들이 동시에 발병하거나 초기 피부 점막 증상이 호전과 악화를 거듭하다 관절 증상, 안 증상, 신경계 증상까지 발전할 수 있다. 특히 안 증상은 대표적인 베체트병 주 증상으로 실명이라는 심각한 후유증을 초래할 수 있다. 이러한 증상을 조절할 수 있는 방법으로, 본 연구에서는 단순포진 바이러스로 유도한 베체트병 마우스 모델을 이용하여 Tim과의 연관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 우선 Tim-3 ligand인 Gal-9은 베체트병 마우스모델의 증상 군이 무증상 군 (바이러스 접종 후 증상이 나타나지 않은 군) 에 비하여 낮게 발현되었고, 반대로 Tim-3와 Tim-4는 높게 발현되었다. 그 발현의 차이가 증상 변화에 연관이 있는지 알아보기 위해 베체트병 마우스 모델에 Tim-1 vector를 투여한 결과 대조군과 비교하여 증상이 호전되었고 severity score는 감소하였다. Tim-4 siRNA를 투여한 후 증상이 완화되는 것을 관찰하였고 severity score 역시 감소하였으며 조절 T 세포는 증가하였다. Gal-9 투여는 증상호전과 severity score의 감소를 보였으며, pro-inflammatory 사이토카인을 감소시키고 세포자살을 유도하였다. 본 연구에서는, Tim-1과 Tim-4 발현 수준을 조절하여 베체트병 마우스 모델의 증상을 호전시키고, Tim-3L 증가에 의한 Tim-3-Tim-3L 상호작용이 베체트병 마우스모델의 염증 증상의 호전에도 영향을 주는 것을 확인하였다.-
