Monocytes Are Differentially Activated Through HLA-DR, -DQ, and -DP Molecules Via Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases¹

Department of Neuroscience and Immunology, Division of Immunogenetics, Kumamoto University Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Honjo, Kumamoto, Japan

When HLA-DR, -DQ, and -DP were cross-linked by solid-phase mAbs, monocytes produced monokines and only anti-DR markedly activated mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase extracellular signal-related kinase, whereas anti-DR, anti-DQ, and anti-DP all activated MAP kinase p38. Activation of extracellular signal-related kinase was not inhibited by neutralizing Ab to TNF-. Anti-DR and DR-restricted T cells stimulated monocytes to produce relatively higher levels of proinflammatory monokines, such as IL-1, whereas anti-DQ/DP and DQ-/DP-restricted T cells stimulated higher levels of anti-inflammatory monokine IL-10. IL-10 production was abrogated by the p38 inhibitor SB203580, but rather enhanced by the MAP/extracellular signal-related kinase kinase-I-specific inhibitor PD98059, whereas IL-1 was only partially abrogated by SB203580 and PD98059. Furthermore, DR-restricted T cells established from PBMC, which are reactive with mite Ags, purified protein derivative, and random 19-mer peptides, exhibited a higher IFN-:IL-4 ratio than did DQ- or DP-restricted T cells. These results indicate that HLA-DR, -DQ, and -DP molecules transmit distinct signals to monocytes via MAP kinases and lead to distinct monokine activation patterns, which may affect T cell responses in vivo. Thus, the need for generation of a multigene family of class II MHC seems apparent.
