medicine | lysate from a gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase Ggt mutant strain shows a decrease of the capacity to inhibit Jurkat T cell proliferation. Incubation of Jurkat T cells with recombinantly expressed Ggt results in an impaired proliferation, and cell death is involved. A similar but more pronounced inhibitory effect is also seen on primary murine CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, and CD19+ B cells. Supplementation with glutamine restores normal proliferation of the cells, whereas supplementation with reduced glutathione strengthens the enzyme-mediated inhibition of proliferation. Ggt treatment abolishes secretion of IL-4 and IL-17 by CD4+ T cells, without affecting secretion of IFN-gamma. Helicobacter suis outer membrane vesicles are a possible delivery route of Ggt to lymphocytes residing in the deeper mucosal layers | Helicobacter suis |
