Abstract

The molecular mechanisms involved in the full activation of innate immunity achieved through Toll-like receptors (TLRs) remain to be fully elucidated. In addition to their classical antigen-presenting function, major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules might mediate reverse signaling. Here we report that deficiency in MHC class II attenuated the TLR-triggered production of proinflammatory cytokines and type I interferon in macrophages and dendritic cells, which protected mice from endotoxin shock. Intracellular MHC class II molecules interacted with the tyrosine kinase Btk via the costimulatory molecule CD40 and maintained Btk activation, but cell surface MHC class II molecules did not. Then, Btk interacted with the adaptor molecules MyD88 and TRIF and thereby promoted TLR signaling. Therefore, intracellular MHC class II molecules can act as adaptors, promoting full activation of TLR-triggered innate immune responses.

版主留言叫我写一点点评,我觉得文章的内容就不用说了,大家可以自己去看,我想说的是,在满天都是microRNA、Th17、Treg、Tfh、干细胞,唯恐自己落伍的今天,能把目光放在MHC这种古老分子上的人是有眼光的,有见解的,值得尊敬的,也必定是大师级的。从中我们能体会到作者免疫学研究的境界所在。
说的不对的大家指正。
