ABSTRACT
Inflammation leads to induction of tissue stress conditions that might contribute to the generation of mechanisms limiting ongoing immune responses. We have shown previously that peptides derived from brain tissue of mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) complexed with the chaperone heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70-pc) induce an NK-cell-dependent tolerance for subsequent EAE sensitization. We now present data that showed that the MHC class I-related glycoprotein H60 determines Hsp70-pc-induced EAE inhibition. Hsp70-pc led to significant and selective up-regulation of H60 expression in SJL/J mice, and Ab-blocking of H60 expression led to loss of EAE tolerance. Similarly, blocking of the NK cell receptor for H60, NKG2D, also reversed the Hsp70-pc-induced EAE inhibition. In contrast, in C57BL/6 mice H60 was not expressed, and Hsp70-pc-induced tolerance was not detected. The NK cell mediated Hsp70-pc-induced tolerance to EAE was dependent on modulation of dendritic cells function leading to diminished T cell reactivity to PLP. As, no increase of H60 expression on T cells from EAE mice immunized with PLP was detected, and no enhanced loss of CD3+ H60+ over CD3+ H60- cells in Hsp70-pc-induced EAE tolerance was found direct killing of H60+ PLP-reactive cells seems not to be involved in the Hsp70-pc-induced tolerance induction. We have provided evidence that Hsp70-pc-induced tolerance for EAE, mediated by NK cells, involves induction of H60 ligand and its interaction with NKG2D receptor. NK cells tolerization of EAE depends on altered dendritic cells activity leading to enhanced death of Ag reactive cells.
