Abstract

CD28 is the quintessential costimulatory molecule expressed on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. During chronic infections and the normal aging process, CD28 expression is lost, compromising the functional activity of T cells. CD28 loss is promoted by replicative stress, particularly in the presence of tumor necrosis factor–α, owing to an inoperative CD28 initiator element. It is currently unknown whether CD28 loss is irreversible. The present study examined cytokines for their ability to reinduce CD28 expression. CD4+CD28null T cells constitutively expressed interleukin-12 (IL-12) α and β receptors, which were functional and allowed for the up-regulation of the signal transducer and activator of transcription–4 (STAT-4)–dependent gene CD161. Costimulation of the T-cell and IL-12 receptors induced the transcription of CD28 in approximately 50% of CD4+CD28null T-cell clones and lines. IL-12 by itself did not restore CD28 expression. Up-regulation of CD28 after IL-12 exposure correlated with the reassembly of the CD28–initiator protein complex. The re-expressed CD28 was functional and restored the ability of CD4+CD28null T cells to express CD25 and CD40 ligand. Our data suggest that IL-12 may, in part, functionally rescue senescent CD4+ T cells.
