    Abstract CD8 T cells resolve intracellular pathogens by responding to pathogen-derived peptides that are presented on the cell surface by MHC class I molecules. Although most pathogens encode a large variety of antigenic peptides, protective CD8 T cell responses target usually only a few of these. To determine the mechanism by which the IFN-γ-inducible proteasome (immuno) subunits enhance the ability of specific pathogen-derived peptides to elicit CD8 T cell responses, we generated a recombinant Listeria monocytogenes strain (rLM-E1) that secretes a model Ag encompassing the immunoproteasome-dependent E1B192–200 and immunoproteasome-independent E1A234–243 epitope. Analyses of Ag presentation showed that infected gene-deficient professional APCs, lacking the immunosubunits LMP7/iβ5 and MECL-1/iβ2, processed and presented the rLM-E1-derived E1B192–200 epitope but with delayed kinetics. E1A epitope processing proceeded normally in these cells. Accordingly, infected gene-deficient mice failed to respond to the otherwise immunodominant E1B192–200 epitope but mounted normal CD8 T cell responses to E1A234–243 which was processed by the same professional APCs, from the same rLM-E1 Ag. The inability of gene-deficient mice to respond to E1B192–200 was not explained by insufficient quantities of antigenic peptide, as splenic APC of 36-h-infected gene-deficient mice that presented the two E1 epitopes at steady state levels elicited responses to both E1B192–200 and E1A234–243 when transferred into LMP7+MECL-1-deficient mice. Taken together, our findings indicate that not absolute epitope quantities but early Ag-processing kinetics determine the ability of pathogen-derived peptides to elicit CD8 T cell responses, which is of importance for rational T cell vaccine design.</jats:p

    Enhanced Inflammatory Potential of CD4+ T-Cells That Lack Proteasome Immunosubunit Expression, in a T-Cell Transfer-Based Colitis Model

    Proteasomes play a fundamental role in intracellular protein degradation and therewith regulate a variety of cellular processes. Exposure of cells to (pro)inflammatory cytokines upregulates the expression of three inducible catalytic proteasome subunits, the immunosubunits, which incorporate into newly assembled proteasome complexes and alter the catalytic activity of the cellular proteasome population. Single gene-deficient mice lacking one of the three immunosubunits are resistant to dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis development and, likewise, inhibition of one single immunosubunit protects mice against the development of DSS-induced colitis. The observed diminished disease susceptibility has been attributed to altered cytokine production and CD4+ T-cell differentiation in the absence of immunosubunits. To further test whether the catalytic activity conferred by immunosubunits plays an essential role in CD4+ T-cell function and to distinguish between the role of immunosubunits in effector T-cells versus inflamed tissue, we used a T-cell transfer-induced colitis model. Naïve wt or immunosubunit-deficient CD4+ T-cells were adoptively transferred into RAG1−/− and immunosubunit-deficient RAG1−/− mice and colitis development was determined six weeks later. While immunosubunit expression in recipient mice had no effect on colitis development, transferred immunosubunit-deficient T- cells were more potent in inducing colitis and produced more proinflammatory IL17 than wt T-cells. Taken together, our data show that modifications in proteasome-mediated proteolysis in T-cells, conferred by lack of immunosubunit incorporation, do not attenuate but enhance CD4+ T-cell-induced inflammation
