T cell receptor alpha/beta expressing double-negative (CD4-/CD8-) and CD4+ T helper cells in humans augment the production of pathogenic anti- DNA autoantibodies associated with lupus nephritis

It is generally accepted that human Th cells express the surface glycoproteins CD4 and alpha/beta-chain heterodimer of the TCR whereas cytotoxic/suppressor cells are usually CD8+ and alpha/beta TCR+. Another minor set of T cells found in the periphery are CD4-/CD8- (double negative) and express the gamma/delta TCR; these cells can manifest MHC-restricted or nonrestricted cytotoxicity but no helper function. Herein we describe the existence of an unusual Th population in the peripheral blood of humans that are CD4-/CD8- and alpha/beta TCR+. These double-negative Th were markedly expanded in patients with the autoimmune disease SLE and along with CD4+ Th, they induced production of the pathogenic variety of anti-DNA autoantibodies that are IgG in class and cationic in charge. The cationic anti-DNA antibodies induced by the Th were markedly restricted in spectrotype indicating that an oligoclonal population of B cells were committed to produce the pathogenic autoantibodies in active lupus. IL-2-dependent T cell lines were also derived from the patients with active lupus nephritis but the majority of those T cell lines lacked pathogenic autoantibody-inducing capability. Only 4 out of 42 T cell lines from a lupus patient could induce the production of cationic IgG class anti- DNA autoantibodies. The phenotypes of the pathogenic autoantibody- inducing Th lines were similar to the Th subsets: CD4+, alpha/beta TCR+ or CD4-/CD8-, alpha/beta TCR+. These studies suggest that production of pathogenic autoantibodies in human lupus is mediated by mechanisms that are distinct from the generalized, nonspecific polyclonal B cell hyperactivity that leads to excessive production of natural autoantibodies.
