RESUMO
The ability to activate macrophages in vitro for nitric oxide production and killing of Leishmania major parasites is dependent on tumor necrosis factor, although L. major-infected mice lacking the TNF receptor p55 (TNFRp55−/− mice) or both the TNFRp55 and TNFRp75 (TNFRp55p75−/− mice) are able to produce NO in vivo and eliminate the parasites. Here we report that activated T cells cocultured with macrophages results in TNFR-independent activation sufficient to control parasites and that both CD40/CD40L and LFA-1 contribute to T-cell-mediated macrophage activation. Thus, anti-CD3-stimulated T cells activated TNFR-deficient macrophages, while T cells from CD40L−/− mice were partially defective in triggering NO production by TNFRp55p75−/− macrophages. Moreover, in the presence of gamma interferon, anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody (MAb) activated TNFR-deficient macrophages. Finally, MAb blockade of LFA-1 completely inhibited macrophage NO production. Our data indicate that T cells can activate macrophages in the absence of TNF, thus providing a mechanism for how TNFR-deficient mice can control intracellular pathogens.
