Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Department of Biology Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research Ploegh, Hidde July 15, 2010 Although it has long been known that human CD4+ T cells can express functional class II MHC molecules, the role of lysosomal proteases in the T cell class II MHC processing and presentation pathway is unknown. Using CD4+ T cell clones that constitutively express class II MHC, we determined that cathepsin S is necessary for invariant chain proteolysis in T cells. CD4+HLA-DR+ T cells down-regulated cathepsin S expression and activity 18 h after activation, thereby ceasing nascent class II MHC product formation. This blockade resulted in the loss of the invariant chain fragment CLIP from the cell surface, suggesting that—like professional APC—CD4+ HLA-DR+ cells modulate self-Ag presentation as a consequence of activation. Furthermore, cathepsin S expression and activity, and concordantly cell surface CLIP expression, was reduced in HLA-DR+ CD4+ T cells as compared with B cells both in vitro and ex vivo. 2012-10-25T20:12:30Z 2012-10-25T20:12:30Z 2009-06 2009-03 Article http://purl.org/eprint/type/JournalArticle 0022-1767 1550-6606 http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/74262 Costantino, C.
