Resumen:
Leukocyte-specific protein 1 (LSP1) is a 52kDa cytoplasmic F-actin
binding phosphoprotein expressed in all human and murine
leukocytes and endothelial cells. LSP1 is an important regulator
of actin cytoskeleton remodelling. We have previously shown that
Lsp1-/- dendritic cells (DCs) have a defective antigen presentation
to CD4+ T cells compared to DCs from wild type (WT) mice. In order
to study whether defective antigen presentation in Lsp1-/- mice
is due to alteration in MHC class II dynamics, we evaluated I-Ab
kinetics expression on cell surface and intracellulary in Lsp1-/- DCs
upon activation with CpG-ODN. DCs were in vitro derived from bone marrow precursors with Flt3-L and stimulated with CpG-ODN 1826,
at different times (1-2-3-4-8-12 and 18h) they were collected and
stained with anti-I-Ab antibody (Ab) either permeabilized or not,
to measure total or cell surface content of I-Ab and analyzed by
flow cytometry. We found that total and cell surface I-Ab molecules
increases in Lsp1-/- DCs upon stimulation similar than DCs from
Lsp1+/+ mice, with a peak in both cases at 3h. Intracellular content
of I- Ab increased more than cell surface expression in both
groups and remained high for at least 18h. Analyzing the kinetics of
peptide-I-Ab complexes on DC surface by incubating DCs with the
Ea52-68 peptide (which binds to I-Ab) and then labeling them with
Y-Ae Ab (which recognizes I-Ab-Ea52-68 complex) by flow cytometry,
we observed that these complexes remained stable up to 24h
after on surface in Lsp1-/- and Lsp1+/+ stimulated DCs at similar
levels. These results suggests that the altered antigen presentation
in Lsp1-/- DCs could be related to other steps in Ag processing and
not to MHC II dynamics.
