RESUMO

Antigen-presenting cells (APCs) control T-cell responses by multiple mechanisms, including the expression of co-stimulatory molecules and the production of cytokines and other mediators that control T-cell proliferation, survival and differentiation. In this present work, it was demonstrated that soluble factor(s) produced by Toll-like receptor (TLR)-activated APCs suppress activation-induced cell death (AICD). This effect was observed in non-stimulated APCs, but it was significantly increased after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment. Using different KO mice, it was found that the LPS-induced protective factor is dependent on TLR4/MyD88 and independent of TLR2 and CD14. The protective factor was identified as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and it was shown that both APC-derived supernatants and PGE2 prevented CD95L upregulation in T cells in response to TCR/CD3 stimulation, thereby avoiding both AICD and activated T cell killing of target macrophages. It was also demonstrated that instead of blocking CD95 pathway, PGE2 enhanced T cell death induced by agonistic anti-CD95 antibodies. The PGE2 receptors, EP2 and EP4, appear to be involved in AICD suppression since pharmacological stimulation of these receptors mimics the protective effect on T cells and their respective antagonists interfere with the protection induced by either APCs derived or synthetic PGE2. The engagement of EP2 and EP4 synergistically activates protein kinase A (PKA) and exchange protein directly activated by cAMP pathways to prevent AICD. Finally, the activation of the main transcription factors involved in CD95L expression (NFAT, AP-1 and NF-kB) is not avoided by PGE2. On the other hand, PGE2 induces the expression of ICER, a transcriptional repressor of CD95L, through CREB activation. Taken together, these results indicate that APCs can regulate T-cell levels of CD95L by releasing PGE2 in response to LPS through a TLR4/MyD88-dependent pathway, with consequences for both T cell and their own survival.
