Scanty information is available about the mechanisms underlying HLA class I Ag abnormalities in malignant cells exposed to strong T cell-mediated selective pressure. In this study, we have characterized the molecular defects underlying HLA class I Ag loss in five melanoma cell lines derived from recurrent metastases following initial clinical responses to T cell-based immunotherapy. Point mutations in the translation initiation codon (ATG-->ATA) and in codon 31 (TCA-->TGA) of the beta(2)-microglobulin (beta(2)m) gene were identified in the melanoma cell lines 1074MEL and 1174MEL, respectively. A hot-spot CT dinucleotide deletion within codon 13-15 was found in the melanoma cell lines 1106MEL, 1180MEL, and 1259MEL. Reconstitution of beta(2)m expression restored HLA class I Ag expression in the five melanoma cell lines; however, the HLA-A and HLA-B,-C gene products were differentially expressed by 1074MEL, 1106MEL, and 1259MEL cells. In addition, in 1259MEL cells, the Ag-processing machinery components calnexin, calreticulin, and low m.w. polypeptide 10 are down-regulated, and HLA-A2 Ags are selectively lost because of a single cytosine deletion in the HLA-A2 gene exon 4. Our results in conjunction with those in the literature suggest the emergence of a preferential beta(2)m gene mutation in melanoma cells following strong T cell-mediated immune selection. Furthermore, the presence of multiple HLA class I Ag defects within a tumor cell population may reflect the accumulation of multiple escape mechanisms developed by melanoma cells to avoid distinct sequential T cell-mediated selective events. 相似文献

Utilizing phage display peptide libraries, we have identified and mapped the antigenic determinants recognized by mouse monoclonal antibodies (mAb) on two sets of immunologically important molecules, HLA class I and class II antigens. Anti-HLA class I mAb TP25.99 recognizes a conformational and a linear determinant on distinct regions of the HLA class I 3 domain. Anti-HLA class I mAb HO-4 recognizes a conformational determinant on the 2 domain of HLA-A2 and A28 allospecificities. Anti-HLA-DR1, -DR4, -DR6, -DR8, -DR9 mAb SM/549 recognizes a conformational determinant on the chain of HLA class II antigens. These results indicate the versatility of phage display peptide libraries to characterize antigenic determinants recognized by anti-HLA mAb. 相似文献

Major histocompatibility complex class I (MHCI) and class II (MHCII) molecules display peptides on antigen-presenting cell surfaces for subsequent T-cell recognition. Within the human population, allelic variation among the classical MHCI and II gene products is the basis for differential peptide binding, thymic repertoire bias and allograft rejection. While available 3D structural analysis suggests that polymorphisms are found primarily within the peptide-binding site, a broader informatic approach pinpointing functional polymorphisms relevant for immune recognition is currently lacking. To this end, we have now analyzed known human class I (774) and class II (485) alleles at each amino acid position using a variability metric (V). Polymorphisms (V>1) have been identified in residues that contact the peptide and/or T-cell receptor (TCR). Using sequence logos to investigate TCR contact sites on HLA molecules, we have identified conserved MHCI residues distinct from those of conserved MHCII residues. In addition, specific class II (HLA-DP, -DQ, -DR) and class I (HLA-A, -B, -C) contacts for TCR binding are revealed. We discuss these findings in the context of TCR restriction and alloreactivity. 相似文献

Three new kinds of recombinant DNA constructs were used to transfer cloned human class I HLA genes (A2 and B8) into unique HLA mutant lymphoblastoid cells: pHeBo(x): a class I gene, "x," in plasmid vector pHeBo, which contains a hygromycin resistance gene and Epstein-Barr virus oriP element that sustains extrachromosomal replication; pHPT(x): gene x in a vector with a hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) gene; pHPTe(x): gene x in a vector with the HPRT gene and oriP element. Cell surface class I antigen expression was strong in transferents made with class I-deficient lymphoblastoid cell line mutants .144 (A-null), .53 (B-null), and .184 (A-null, B-null). Transferents expressing HLA-A2 were recognized specifically by HLA-A2-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes. When introduced on either of the vectors with the Epstein-Barr virus oriP element, the class I gene replicated extrachromosomally and was lost at rates of 0.2 to 0.3 per cell division. When introduced with vector pHPT (lacking Epstein-Barr virus oriP), the B8 gene was inserted at different chromosomal locations. Introduction of the HLA-B8 gene failed to restore antigen expression by HLA-B-null mutant .174, providing evidence that, unlike mutants exemplified by .53, .144, and .184, some HLA antigen loss mutants are deficient in a trans-acting function needed for class I antigen expression. Of more general interest, the results obtained with HLA class I genes in vectors that replicate extrachromosomally suggest ways of relating genic expression to chromatin structure and function and of attempting to clone functional human centromeres. 相似文献

HLA class I and H ferritin gene polymorphisms in normal subjects and patients with haemochromatosis 总被引:4,自引:4,他引:0
Summary The gene for idiopathic haemochromatosis is located on the short arm of chromosome 6 within 1 cM of the HLA-A locus. In this region there are many HLA class I genes, and there may also be a gene for the H subunit of ferritin. Both HLA class I and H ferritin genes are therefore candidates for the abnormal gene in idiopathic haemochromatosis. In 15 unrelated patients the frequency of HLA-A3 was 80% compared with 24% for 600 unrelated individuals from South Wales. The most common haplotype involved is probably HLA-A3, B7. DNA was prepared from leucocytes from 12 of these patients and from 85 normal subjects. After digestion with Taq1, electrophoresis, and Southern blotting, class I sequences were detected by hybridisation to an HLA class I probe (pHLA-A). Of the 34 restriction fragments detected, 22 were polymorphic. Particular fragments correlated with the presence of HLA-A antigens A1, 2, 3, 10, 11, w19, and 28, but there was little correlation with B antigens. Restriction fragment patterns specific for haemochromatosis were not found with TaqI or during less extensive studies with other restriction enzymes. No differences in restriction fragment patterns were found between four patients and four normal subjects apparently homozygous for HLA-A3 and B7. Examination of Southern blotting patterns for genomic DNA from patients and normal subjects with a panel of 12 restriction enzymes and a probe for the H ferritin gene (pDBR-2) revealed no polymorphisms associated with either idiopathic haemochromatosis or particular HLA phenotypes. These studies provide no support for either HLA class I genes or the H ferritin gene as candidates for the haemochromatosis gene. 相似文献

The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) is a critical genetic system for different outcomes after solid organ and hematopoietic cell transplantation. Its polymorphism is usually determined by molecular technologies at the DNA level. A potential role of HLA allelic expression remains under investigation in the context of the allogenic immune response between donors and recipients. In this study, we quantified the allelic expression of all three HLA class I loci (HLA-A, B and C) by RNA sequencing and conducted an analysis of expression quantitative traits loci (eQTL) to investigate whether HLA expression regulation could be associated with non-coding gene variations. HLA-B alleles exhibited the highest expression levels followed by HLA-C and HLA-A alleles. The max fold expression variation was observed for HLA-C alleles. The expression of HLA class I loci of distinct individuals demonstrated a coordinated and paired expression of both alleles of the same locus. Expression of conserved HLA-A~B~C haplotypes differed in distinct PBMC’s suggesting an individual regulated expression of both HLA class I alleles and haplotypes. Cytokines TNFα /IFNβ, which induced a very similar upregulation of HLA class I RNA and cell surface expression across alleles did not modify the individually coordinated expression at the three HLA class I loci. By identifying cis eQTLs for the HLA class I genes, we show that the non-coding eQTLs explain 29%, 13%, and 31% of the respective HLA-A, B, C expression variance in unstimulated cells, and 9%, 23%, and 50% of the variance in cytokine-stimulated cells. The eQTLs have significantly higher effect sizes in stimulated cells compared to unstimulated cells for HLA-B and HLA-C genes expression. Our data also suggest that the identified eQTLs are independent from the coding variation which defines HLA alleles and thus may be influential on intra-allele expression variability although they might not represent the causal eQTLs. 相似文献

The complete nucleotide sequence of an active class I HLA gene, HLA-A3, has been determined. This sequence, together with that obtained for the HLA-CW3 gene, represents the first complete nucleotide sequence to be determined for functional class I HLA genes. The gene organisation of HLA-A3 closely resembles that of class I H-2 genes in mouse: it shows a signal exon, three exons encoding the three extracellular domains, one exon encoding the transmembrane region and three exons encoding the cytoplasmic domain. The complete nucleotide sequences of the active HLA genes, HLA-A3 and HLA-CW3, now permit a meaningful comparison of the nucleotide sequences of class I HLA genes by alignment with the sequence established for a HLA-B7-specific cDNA clone and the sequences of two HLA class I pseudogenes HLA 12.4 and LN- 11A . The comparisons show that there is a non-random pattern of nucleotide differences in both exonic and intronic regions featuring segmental homologies over short regions, which is indicative of a gene conversion mechanism. In addition, analysis of the frequency of nucleotide substitution at the three base positions within the codons of the functional genes HLA-A3, HLA-B7 and HLA-CW3 shows that the pattern of nucleotide substitution in the exon coding for the 3rd extracellular domain is consistent with strong selection pressure to conserve the sequence. The distribution of nucleotide variation in the other exons specifying the mature protein is nearly random with respect to the frequencies of substitution at the three nucleotide positions of their codons. The evolutionary implications of these findings are discussed. 相似文献

The HLA-CW3 gene contained in a cosmid clone identified by transfection expression experiments has been completely sequenced. This provides, for the first time, data on the structure of HLA-C locus products and constitutes, together with that of the gene coding for HLA-A3, the first complete nucleotide sequences of genes coding for serologically defined class I HLA molecules. In contrast to the organisation of the two class I HLA pseudogenes whose sequences have previously been determined, the sequence of the HLA-CW3 gene reveals an additional cytoplasmic encoding domain, making the organisation of this gene very similar to that of known H-2 class I genes and also the HLA-A3 gene. The deduced amino acid sequences of HLA-CW3 and HLA-A3 now allow a systematic comparison of such sequences of HLA class I molecules from the three classical transplantation antigen loci A, B, C. The compared sequences include the previously determined partial amino acid sequences of HLA-B7, HLA-B40, HLA-A2 and HLA-A28. The comparisons confirm the extreme polymorphism of HLA classical class I molecules, and permit a study of the level of diversity and the location of sequence differences. The distribution of differences is not uniform, most of them being located in the first and second extracellular domains, the third extracellular domain is extremely conserved, and the cytoplasmic domain is also a variable region. Although it is difficult to determine locus-specific regions, we have identified several candidate positions which may be C locus-specific. 相似文献

By using a calibrated dual laser cell sorter and monoclonal antibodies directly conjugated to fluorescein and rhodamine and specific for H-2Kk and HLA class I antigens, quantitative cytofluorometric analysis was performed on individual HLA-A3 or -CW3 transformed mouse L cells (H-2k). More than 80% of these cells expressed both HLA class I and H-2Kk molecules. Their respective levels of expression were calculated: a mean of 4 X 10(5) HLA class I and 2.3 X 10(5) H-2Kk molecules per single cell. Quantitative comparison with control untransformed L cells and double fluorescence contour maps showed a positive correlation between the levels of expression of HLA class I and H-2Kk molecules suggesting that expression of foreign class I molecules did not occur at the expense of the endogenous H-2k product. 相似文献

Pancreatic cancer is being pursued as an immunotherapy target using antigen-specific vaccine approaches activating CD8(+) CTL and CD4(+) T-helper cells. CD8(+) CTL exert their anti-tumor effects in an HLA-restricted manner and only tumor cells carrying a matched HLA class I sub-type are targets for antigen-specific CTL. In the process of characterizing CD8(+) T cell responses against pancreatic cancer, we screened a number of human pancreatic tumor cell lines for HLA-A0201 positive (HLA-A2(+)) cell lines to be used in the evaluation of CTL function. This analysis revealed some new findings and discrepancies in the literature on the HLA sub-type of some commonly used pancreatic cell lines. We found that Capan-1 cells, originally reported to be HLA-A0201(+), actually only express HLA-A010101 and HLA-A300101 and were targets for HLA-A0201-restricted CTL only after transduction with an HLA-A0201-expressing lentivirus. Panc-1 cells were found to be HLA-A0201 positive, in agreement with published reports, while CF-Pac-1 cells were found to express both HLA-A020101 and HLA-A030101. We also found a normal human pancreatic ductal epithelial cell line, HPDE, to be HLA-A0201 positive. Our findings were verified with two different sequence-based typing methods, antibody staining followed by flow cytometry analysis, and functional analysis using an HLA-A0201-restricted peptide-specific T cell response. 相似文献

Mutants that had lost expression of alleles of one or more HLA loci were isolated with immunoselection after gamma-irradiation of a human lymphoblastoid cell line LCL 721. DNAs from the mutants were digested with restriction endonucleases and analyzed by Southern blotting using probes for class I HLA genes. Eight polymorphic cut sites for HindIII and PvuII were discovered in class I-associated sequences of LCL 721. Losses of specific fragments generated by restriction enzymes could be associated with losses of specific antigenic expressions and it was possible in this way to assign HLA-A1, HLA-A2, and HLA-B8 to specific DNA fragments. Patterns of gamma-ray-induced segregations of DNA fragments permitted rough linkage alignment of about 30% of the fragments generated by PvuII. The resultant map showed that there are class I HLA genes on the telomeric side of the HLA-A locus. Restriction enzyme site polymorphisms were also examined in a panel of DNAs isolated from peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) of HLA-typed individuals. This panel of PBL DNA complemented the analysis using the HLA deletion mutants. 相似文献

Our previous studies suggested that a serologically undetectable HLA-C blank allele (HLA-CwBL18) is either a variant Cw5 allele or a novel HLA-C Ag. To examine these possibilities, the CwBL18 and Cw5 genes from the TCC (HLA-A1, -A2, -B52, -B18, -Cw-, -Cw-) and QBL (HLA-A26, -B18, -Cw5) EBV-transformed B lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) were cloned, sequenced, and transferred into HLA-A, -B, -C null LCL mutant .221 cells. The CwBL18 Ag was detected on the cell surface of CwBL18 transferents by flow cytometry with the anti-class I mAb W6/32 but not by complement-mediated cytotoxicity with currently available HLA-C specific antisera. Sequence analysis of the Cw-BL18 gene indicated that the CwBL18 Ag is "C"-like because it contains all C-locus-specific residues and amino acid replacements commonly found in HLA-C alleles. However, the amino acid sequence of the CwBL18 Ag is unusual; CwBL18 lacks unique allele-specific residues when compared with the sequences of other HLA-C alleles. Moreover, apart from the C-locus-specific differences, the sequence of CwBL18 is identical to the HLA class I consensus sequence. This striking homology of CwBL18 to other HLA class I alleles suggests that CwBL18 may be a weak Ag. Taken together, these data demonstrate that CwBL18 is not a variant Cw5 Ag but is a newly described HLA-C Ag. In contrast to CwBL18, the Cw5 Ag is serologically detectable on the cell surface of Cw5 transferents with HLA-specific allo-antisera. Rather unexpectedly, Cw5 was usually expressed at a lower level than CwBL18 on the surface of .221 transferents as evaluated by W6/32 mAb binding analyses. The sequence of Cw5 revealed several unique amino acid replacements. Two of these substitutions, at residue 35 of the alpha 1 domain and residue 275 of the transmembrane domain, may be responsible for the reduced cell surface expression of Cw5. Additional unique replacements at residues 138 and 177 of the alpha 2 domain suggest that these amino acids may be important in the formation of an epitope recognized by a Cw5-specific antibody. 相似文献

Regulation of HLA class I and class II antigen expression was studied in hybrids of human T and B lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL). The T-LCL CEMR.3 expresses no HLA class II antigens. It expresses little total HLA class I antigen and no HLA-B antigens. The B-LCL 721.174 is a radiation-induced variant immunoselected for loss of class II antigen expression. In addition to showing a deletion of all HLA-DR and DQ structural genes, 721.174 expresses no HLA-B antigens and a decreased level of HLA-A antigen compared with the parental cell line. A hybrid of 721.174 and CEMR.3 expresses class II antigens encoded by CEMR.3. Increased expression of HLA class I antigens encoded by both 721.174 and CEMR.3 was also observed. Specifically, the previously undetectable HLA-B5 and HLA-Bw6 antigens encoded by 721.174 and CEMR.3, respectively, were present on the hybrid. Increased expression of the HLA-A2 antigen encoded by 721.174 was also observed. An immunoselected variant of the hybrid lacking both CEMR.3-derived copies of chromosome 6 lost expression of the HLA-B5 antigen encoded by 721.174 and expressed a decreased amount of HLA-A2. From these data, we infer that two complementary trans-acting factors mediate enhanced expression of HLA class I antigens in the hybrid. One of these factors is provided by a gene located on chromosome 6, derived from CEMR.3. The second factor, introduced by 721.174, is the gene previously postulated to induce expression of CEMR.3-encoded class I antigens in hybrids of CEMR.3 with B-LCL. 相似文献
