The presence of membrane bound CD99 ligands on leukocyte surface.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:CD99, a leukocyte surface molecule, reportedly plays an important role in several cellular processes. However, the role of CD99 in T cell regulation remains unclear, as the CD99 ligand associated with T-cell regulation has not yet been identified. Our previous study showed that recombinant CD99 bound to CD99 ligands was expressed on monocytes, NK cells and dendritic cells. This interaction regulates the expression of IL-6 and TNF-? in CD3?+?T cells following T cell activation. In the present study, we confirmed the presence of CD99 ligands in immune cells. RESULTS:A recombinant CD99-human IgG fusion protein, CD99HIgG, was produced and used to search for CD99 ligand expression in various hematopoietic cell lines. Among several cell lines, THP-1 monocytic cell line showed strong positive reaction for CD99HIgG, and CD99 and CD99 ligand complexes were pulled-down using a DTSSP cross-linker. The study demonstrated the presence of the membrane bound CD99 ligand, and CD99 ligand candidates were identified via LC-MS/MS. These results may be useful to further identify the CD99 ligands, and to fully comprehend the role of CD99 in immunoregulation.

Project description:IntroductionThe interleukin-1 (IL-1) family and the NLR family pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome contribute to atherogenesis but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Unlike IL-1β, IL-1α is not dependent on the NLRP3 inflammasome to exert its pro-inflammatory effects. Here, a non-genetic model was applied to characterize the role of IL-1α, IL-1β, and NLRP3 for the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.MethodsAtherogenesis was induced by gain-of-function PCSK9-AAV8 mutant viruses and feeding of a high-fat western diet (WTD) for 12 weeks in C57Bl6/J wildtype mice (WT) and in Il1a-/-, Nlrp3-/-, and Il1b-/- mice.ResultsPCSK9-Il1a-/- mice showed reduced atherosclerotic plaque area in the aortic root with lower lipid accumulation, while no difference was observed between PCSK9-WT, PCSK9-Nlrp3-/- and PCSK9-Il1b-/- mice. Serum proteomic analysis showed a reduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines (e.g., IL-1β, IL-6) in PCSK9-Il1a-/- as well as in PCSK9-Nlrp3-/- and PCSK9-Il1b-/- mice. Bone marrow dendritic cells (BMDC) of PCSK9-WT, PCSK9-Nlrp3-/-, and PCSK9-Il1b-/- mice and primary human monocytes showed translocation of IL-1α to the plasma membrane (csIL-1α) upon stimulation with LPS. The translocation of IL-1α to the cell surface was regulated by myristoylation and increased in mice with hypercholesterolemia. CsIL-1α and IL1R1 protein-protein interaction on endothelial cells induced VCAM1 expression and monocyte adhesion, which was abrogated by the administration of neutralizing antibodies against IL-1α and IL1R1.ConclusionThe results highlight the importance of IL-1α on the cell surface of circulating leucocytes for the development of atherosclerosis. PCSK9-Il1a-/- mice, but not PCSK9-Nlrp3-/- or PCSK9-Il1b-/- mice, are protected from atherosclerosis after induction of hypercholesterolemia independent of circulating cytokines. Myristoylation and translocation of IL-1α to the cell surface in myeloid cells facilitates leukocyte adhesion and contributes to the development of atherosclerosis.
