We recently reported that HLA-G1-transfected antigen-presenting cells (HLA-G1+ APCs) were capable of inhibiting alloproliferative responses. The aim of the present work was to further study the function and the mechanisms of action of HLA-G1+ APCs. We show here that HLA-G1+ APCs are immunoinhibitory cells that (i) inhibit the proliferation of CD4+ T cells, (ii) shed HLA-G1 molecules that might provide extra, non-antigen-specific, inhibitory or proapoptotic signals, (iii) induce CD4+ T cell anergy, or at least long-term unresponsiveness, and (iv) cause the differentiation of CD4+ T cells into suppressive cells. Thus, HLA-G+ APCs might (i) be involved in the direct suppression of immune responses and (ii) contribute to long-term efficient immune escape or tolerance.
我们最近报道,转染了HLA - G1的抗原呈递细胞(HLA - G1 + APCs)能够抑制同种异体增殖反应。本研究的目的是进一步研究HLA - G1 + APCs的功能及作用机制。我们在此表明,HLA - G1 + APCs是免疫抑制细胞,其能够:(i)抑制CD4 + T细胞的增殖;(ii)释放HLA - G1分子,这些分子可能提供额外的、非抗原特异性的抑制或促凋亡信号;(iii)诱导CD4 + T细胞无能,或至少导致长期无反应性;(iv)使CD4 + T细胞分化为抑制性细胞。因此,HLA - G + APCs可能(i)参与免疫反应的直接抑制,并且(ii)有助于长期有效的免疫逃逸或耐受。
