Dendritic cells (DC) are potent antigen-presenting cells (APC) specialized in T-cell mediated immune responses, and also play critical roles in the homeostasis of T cells for controlling immune responses. In the present study, we demonstrated that during mouse bone-marrow-derived DC activation of ovalbumin (OVA)-specific Ia-k(b) -restricted T hybridoma cells, MF2.2D9 and OVA(257-264) -specific H-2k(b) -restricted RF33.70 T cells, respectively, both hybridomas undergo cell death, partially mediated via apoptotic ligand-tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL). Lipopolysaccharide enhanced the cytotoxic effect on the two activated T hybridoma cells, which was correlated with up-regulation of TRAIL-expression on DC to some extent. The activation of caspase-3 in activated T hybridoma cells cocultured with DC contributed to the programmed cell death pathway T cells underwent. Therefore, our results show that activation-induced cell death of T hybridoma cells can be influenced by DC, suggesting that DC may be involved in elimination of activated T cells at the end of primary immune responses.
