Unified immune modulation by 4-1BB triggering leads to diverse effects on disease progression in vivo. Choi BK, Kim YH, Choi JH, Kim CH, Kim KS, Sung YC, Lee YM, Moffett JR, Kwon BS Abstract 4-1BB (CD137) is a powerful T-cell costimulatory molecule in the treatment of virus infections and tumors, but recent studies have also uncovered regulatory functions of 4-1BB signaling.

Since the dominant type of immune cell generated to protect the host was different for each virus - CD4(+) T cells and neutrophils in HSV-1 RE infection, both CD4(+) T and CD8(+) T cells in influenza infection, and a crucial role for B cells in JEV infection, 4-1BB triggering resulted in different therapeutic outcomes. We conclude that the therapeutic outcome of 4-1BB triggering is determined by whether the protective immunity generated against the virus was beneficially altered by the 4-1BB triggering. 논문 링크(클릭시 이동)

Abstract

4-1BB (CD137) is a powerful T-cell costimulatory molecule in the treatment of virus infections and tumors, but recent studies have also uncovered regulatory functions of 4-1BB signaling. Since 4-1BB triggering suppresses autoimmunity by accumulating indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) in dendritic cells (DCs) in an interferon (IFN)-γ-dependent manner, we asked whether similar molecular and cellular changes were induced by 4-1BB triggering in virus-infected mice. 4-1BB triggering increased IFN-γ and IDO, and suppressed CD4(+) T cells, in C57BL/6 mice infected with the type 1 KOS strain of Herpes simplex virus (HSV-1), as it does in an autoimmune disease model. Detailed analysis of the CD4(+) T suppression showed that freshly activated CD62L(high) T cells underwent apoptosis in the early phase of suppression, and CD62L(low) effector/memory T cells in the later phase. Although 4-1BB triggering resulted in similar cellular changes - increased CD8(+) T and decreased CD4(+) T cells, it had different effects on mortality in mice infected with HSV-1 RE, influenza, and Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV); it increased mortality in influenza-infected mice but decreased it in JEV-infected mice. Since the dominant type of immune cell generated to protect the host was different for each virus - CD4(+) T cells and neutrophils in HSV-1 RE infection, both CD4(+) T and CD8(+) T cells in influenza infection, and a crucial role for B cells in JEV infection, 4-1BB triggering resulted in different therapeutic outcomes. We conclude that the therapeutic outcome of 4-1BB triggering is determined by whether the protective immunity generated against the virus was beneficially altered by the 4-1BB triggering.
