dc.description.abstract면역학적 기억(immunological memory)은 신체에서 같은 항원에 대해 두 번 이상 노출되었을 때 더욱 빠르고 강한 반응을 일으킨다는 것이다. 기억(memory) CD8+ T 임파구 역시 원시(naïve) CD8+ T 임파구에 비해 같은 항원에 대해 더 빠르고 강한 반응을 이끌어 내며 이것은 vaccination의 중요한 목적이 된다. 기억 T 임파구는 세포의 활성이후 면역반응의 항상성을 유지하기 위해 일어나는 세포의 사멸에 저항적이다. 또한, 기억 T 임파구는 오랜 기간 동안 안정하게 유지되며 이것은 세포 생존, 사멸, 증식 간의 균형을 통해 이루어진다. 이러한 기억 CD8+ T 임파구의 생성과 유지에 대한 기작에 대한 연구가 최근에 활발히 연구되고 있지만 아직은 미비한 단계이다. 발생에서 세포의 증식과 사멸을 조절하여 운명을 결정하는 Wnt 신호는 조혈모 세포의 분열과 증식, T 임파구 전구체의 사멸을 조절하여 T 임파구 발생에 중요하다. 우리는 기억 T 임파구 전구체의 사멸과 항상성 유지에서 Wnt 신호가 작용하는지 알아 보았다. IL-15을 주어 기억 T 임파구로 분화시키는 모델에서 Wnt 신호의 주요 구성 요소인 β-catenin의 증가를 관찰하였고 RT-PCR을 통해 Wnt-1, Wnt-3A, Wnt-10B의 발현 증가를 관찰하였다. Wnt 신호의 억제자를 사용하여 작동(Effector) T 임파구의 증식과 사멸을 조절하여 기억 T 임파구 생성을 조절함을 알게 되었다. 이러한 결과를 통해 조혈모 세포의 증식에 관여하는 Wnt 신호가 기억 T 세포의 생성에 관여한다는 사실을 알 수 있다.;Immunological memory can be defined as the faster and stronger response of an animal that follows re-exposure to same antigen. The pool of memory T cells can remain stable and the homeostasis of memory T cells is mediated by balancing a low level of T cell proliferation with survival and death. This is in contrast to naïve T cells, which do not divide and have a limited lifespan. How and when memory T cells form during an immune response are long-standing questions. The turnover and survival of memory CD8 T cells does not require antigen or expression of MHC molecules. However, cytokines like IL-15 and IL-7 play certain roles in memory T cell maintenance. Wnt proteins decide cell fate by regulating cell death and proliferation. Wnt proteins involve in thymocyte development by regulating cell death. Moreover, Wnt proteins act as a regulator of heamatopoietic stem cell self-renewal. Since CD8 memory T cells generated from activated T cells are thought to acquire self-renewal property, I was interested in the possibility whether Wnt signaling is involved in the generation of memory T cells. Here, I have shown that protein and RNA levels of β-catenin, an essential component of Wnt signaling, are increased in CD8+ memory T cells generated in vitro. Consistent with this, the levels of Wnt-1, 3A and 10b were upregulated in CD8+ memory T cells suggesting that Wnt signaling is involved in the generation of CD8+ memory T cells. Subsequently, to prove the involvement of Wnt in the generation of CD8+ memory T cells, CRD-IgG, an inhibitor of Wnt signaling, was included in in vitro CD8+ memory T cell generation system. Inhibition of Wnt signaling by CRD-IgG resulted in the almost complete inhibition of CD8+ memory T cell generation. These findings show that, during CD8+ memory T cell generation, Wnt expression is upregulated and the increased Wnt is required for the generation of CD8+ memory T cells.-
