HLA-G is a nonclassical MHC class I molecule that plays a major role in maternal-fetal tolerance. Four membrane-bound (HLA-G1 to -G4) and two soluble (HLA-G5, and -G6) proteins are generated by alternative splicing. Only HLA-G1 has been extensively studied in terms of both expression and function. We provide evidence here that HLA-G2, -G3, and -G4 truncated isoforms reach the cell surface of transfected cells, as endoglycosidase H-sensitive glycoproteins, after a 2-h chase period. Moreover, cytotoxicity experiments show that these transfected cells are protected from the lytic activity of both innate (NK cells) and acquired (CTL) effectors. These findings highlight the immunomodulatory role that HLA-G2, -G3, and -G4 proteins will assume during physiologic or pathologic processes in which HLA-G1 expression is altered.
