|
Stable MHC class I cell surface expression requires delivery of cytosolic peptides into the endoplasmic reticulum by the peptide transporter molecules TAP1 and TAP2, with peptides subsequently transported to the cell surface in complexes containing MHC class I heavy chain and beta2-microglobulin.
|

|
We have evaluated a series of mechanisms resulting in MHC class I down-regulation in a human melanoma cell line, Mz18, typed as HLA-A2(+), A3(+), B7(+), B57(+), Cw1(+), and Cw6(+) by genomic PCR analysis.
|

9816214
|
The melanoma cell line Mz18 exhibits a global down-regulation of MHC class I heavy chain transcripts; beta2-microglobulin; the proteasome subunits LMP2/7, involved in generating cytosolic peptide fragments; and the peptide transporter molecules TAP1 and TAP2, involved in peptide transport from the cytosol into the endoplasmic reticulum.
|
5 |
9816214
|
IFN-gamma treatment of Mz18 melanoma cells leads to up-regulation of LMP2/7 and TAP1/2, as well as to up-regulation of HLA-B and HLA-C MHC loci alleles, but not HLA-A2 or HLA-A3.
|
6 |
9816214
|
Melanoma peptides could only be presented and recognized by CTLs if the HLA-A2-transfected Mz18 cell line was first treated with IFN-gamma, thereby restoring LMP2/7 and TAP1/2 expression and function.
|

9816214
|
Because several melanoma antigens recognized by T cells have been reported to be presented by HLA-A2 (MART-1/Melan-A, tyrosinase, gp100, and MAGE-3), the loss of HLA-A2 molecules may represent an important mechanism by which many melanomas evade immune recognition.
|

9816214
|
These findings suggest that patients entering clinical trials for immunotherapy with melanoma vaccines should be carefully examined for tumor cell allelic MHC class I loss and whether such MHC class I antigen down-regulation can be restored by cytokines.

We investigated the composition of proteasomes of DC derived from human peripheral blood monocytes before and after stimulation by CD40L, LPS, or proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha + IL-6 + IL-1beta).
|
26 |
10602014
|
Immunoprecipitation of proteasomes and analysis on two-dimensional gels revealed that during maturation the inducible proteasome subunits LMP2, LMP7, and MECL-1 are up-regulated and that the neosynthesis of proteasomes is switched exclusively to the production of immunoproteasomes containing these subunits.

Like infectious viruses, conditioned medium from RSV-infected cells (RSV-CM) induces naive cells to coordinately express a gene cluster encoding the transporter associated with antigen presentation 1 (TAP1) and low molecular mass protein (LMP) 2 and LMP7.
|
28 |
11159003
|
Neutralization of RSV-CM with antibodies to interferon (IFN)-beta largely blocked TAP1/LMP2/LMP7 expression, whereas anti-interleukin-1 antibodies were without effect, and recombinant IFN-beta increased TAP1/LMP2/LMP7 expression to levels produced by RSV-CM.
|
29 |
11159003
|
LMP2, LMP7, and TAP1 expression were required for MHC class I upregulation because the irreversible proteasome inhibitor lactacystin or transfection with a competitive TAP1 inhibitor blocked inducible class I expression.
|
30 |
11159003
|
We conclude that RSV infection coordinately increases MHC class I expression and proteasome activity through the paracrine action of IFN-beta to induce expression of the TAP1/LMP2/LMP7 locus, an event that may be important in the initiation of CTL-mediated lung injury.

Using the reverse transcription PCR, we evaluated expression levels of various antigen presentation-related genes, including LMP2, LMP7, MECL-1, PA28alpha, PA28beta, TAP1, TAP2, and tapasin, in two oral squamous cell carcinoma cell lines, HSC5 and HSC7.
|
40 |
11162627
|
Expression levels of LMP2, MECL-1, TAP1, and TAP2 transcripts are reduced in both cell lines in comparison with a normal epithelial cell line.
|
41 |
11162627
|
Further, HSC5 and HSC7 show diminished expression of LMP7/tapasin, and PA28alpha/beta, respectively.
|
42 |
11162627
|
Surface expression of HLA-B alleles is down-regulated in both lines presumably due to low expression of TAP1/2.

EBV-encoded latent membrane proteins, LMP1 and LMP2, are the only target antigens available for therapeutic augmentation of CTL responses in patients with HD and NPC.
|
48 |
12559790
|
When the expression of some components of the antigen-processing machinery (APM; LMP-2, TAP-1, and TAP-2) was tested, a reduced TAP-1 production was detected in cell lines with downregulated MHC class I expression.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma, a high-incidence tumor in southern China, expresses a limited set of EBV proteins, including the nuclear antigen EBNA1, an abundant source of HLA class II-restricted CD4(+) T-cell epitopes, and the latent membrane protein LMP2, a source of subdominant CD8(+) T-cell epitopes presented by HLA class I alleles common in the Chinese population.
|
50 |
14694109
|
We used appropriately modified gene sequences from a Chinese EBV strain to generate a modified vaccinia virus Ankara recombinant, MVA-EL, expressing the CD4 epitope-rich C-terminal domain of EBNA1 fused to full-length LMP2.
|
51 |
14694109
|
The endogenously expressed fusion protein EL is efficiently processed via the HLA class I pathway, and MVA-EL-infected dendritic cells selectively reactivate LMP2-specific CD8(+) memory T-cell responses from immune donors in vitro.
|
52 |
14694109
|
Given its immunogenicity to both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells, MVA-EL has potential as a therapeutic vaccine in the context of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

The EBV-encoded latent membrane proteins (LMP1 and LMP2), which are expressed in various EBV-associated malignancies have been proposed as a potential target for CTL-based therapy.
|
58 |
14973049
|
Here we have developed a replication- incompetent adenoviral vaccine that encodes multiple HLA class I-restricted CTL epitopes from LMP1 and LMP2 as a polyepitope.
|

In vitro stimulation of immature murine DC with MALP-2 resulted in the induction of maturation with up-regulated expression of MHC class II, costimulatory (CD80, CD86) and adhesion (CD40, CD54) molecules.
|
67 |
14991620
|
MALP-2 also enhances the secretion of cytokines (IL-1alpha, IL-6 and IL-12), and increases DC stimulatory activity on naive and antigen-specific T cells.
|
68 |
14991620
|
Further studies demonstrated that MALP-2 treatment of DC results in a dose-dependent shift from the protein pattern of proteasomes to immunoproteasomes (up-regulation of LMP2, LMP7 and MECL1), which correlates with an increased proteolytic activity.

Immunizing transgenic PDAPP mice, which overexpress mutant APP and develop beta-amyloid deposition resembling plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD), results in a decrease of amyloid burden when compared with non-treated transgenic animals.
|
70 |
14997933
|
Neuropathological examination in that patient showed meningoencephalitis, and focal atypically low numbers of diffuse and neuritic plaques but not of vascular amyloid, nor regression of tau pathology in neurofibrillary tangles and neuropil threads.
|
71 |
14997933
|
The present neuropathological study reports the second case of meningoencephalitis following immunization with amyloid-beta peptide in AD, and has been directed toward exploring mechanisms underlying decreased tau pathology in relation with amyloid deposit regression, and possible molecular bases involved in the inflammatory response following immunization.
|
72 |
14997933
|
Inflammatory infiltrates were composed of CD8+, CD4+, CD3+, CD5+ and, rarely, CD7+ lymphocytes, whereas B lymphocytes and T cytotoxic cells CD16, CD57, TIA and graenzyme were negative.
|
73 |
14997933
|
Reduced amyloid burden was accompanied by low amyloid-associated oxidative stress responses (reduced superoxide dismutase-1: SOD-1 expression) and by local inhibition of the stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAPK/JNK) and p38 kinase which are involved in tau phosphorylation.
|
74 |
14997933
|
These results support the amyloid cascade of tau phosphorylation in AD regarding phosphorylation of tau dependent on beta-amyloid deposition in neuritic plaques, but not of tau in neurofibrillary tangles and threads.
|
75 |
14997933
|
Furthermore, amyloid reduction was accompanied by increased expression of the PA28a/beta inductor, and of LMP7, LMP2 and MECL1 subunits of the immunoproteasome in microglial and inflammatory cells surrounding collapsed plaques, and in multinucleated giant cells.

In this study we investigated the CD8(+) T cell responses to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus infection and DNA immunization in wild-type mice and in mice lacking the immunoproteasome subunits LMP2 or LMP7.
|
77 |
16002717
|
DNA vaccination of LMP2- and LMP7-deficient mice induced CD8(+) T cell responses that were slightly lower than, although not significantly different from, those induced in wild-type mice.

Augmentation of epitope presentation by MHC I is thought to be effected by the immunoproteasome, induced in response to IFN-gamma (interferon-gamma) in some cells, and constitutively expressed in others.
|
81 |
16703666
|
The authors show that Tat deregulates the balance of the three proteins, LMP2 (low-molecular-mass polypeptide 2), LMP7 and MECL1 (multicatalytic endopeptidase complex-like 1), which distinguish the immunoproteasome from the proteasome, and they provide a molecular explanation.
|
82 |
16703666
|
Intracellular Tat sequesters IRF-1 (interferon-regulatory factor-1) from its cognate promoter element, where normally it associates with STAT1 (signal transducer and activator of transcription 1) to activate basal transcription of the LMP2 gene.

Our results showed that LMP2 gene transfer did not alter the typical morphology of mature DC, and the representative phenotypes of mature DC (CD80, CD83, and CD86) were highly expressed in rAd-LMP2-DCs.
|
87 |
16842756

In addition, phenotypic analysis demonstrated that the LMP2-specific CTLs consisted of both CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells.

|
Elements of the antigen-processing machinery (MB1, LMP2, LMP7, LMP10, TAP1, TAP2, calnexin, calreticulin, tapasin, ERp57, zeta, delta) were determined by real-time PCR technique.
|
91 |
17285277
|
The expression of important costimulatory and adhesion molecules considered as DC markers (CD40, CD54, CD80, CD83, CD86) were determined at the mRNA (PCR) and protein (flow cytometry) levels.

Here, to develop a vaccine strategy taking advantage of activated CD8(+)T cells, we constructed a DNA vaccine, designated pGFP-TSA1, encoding a fusion protein linking GFP to a single CTL epitope of TSA1, a leading candidate for vaccine against T. cruzi.
|
93 |
18321749
|
Vaccination with pGFP-TSA1 enhanced epitope-specific cytotoxicity and IFN-gamma secretion by CD8(+)T cells.
|
94 |
18321749
|
When mice deficient in the proteasome activator PA28alpha/beta or the immunoproteasome subunits LMP2 and LMP7 were used, the protective immunity against infection was profoundly attenuated.
|
95 |
18321749
|
Our findings clearly demonstrate that vaccination with pGFP-TSA1 successfully induces protection dependent on CD8(+)T cell activation, in which immunoproteasomes play a crucial role.
