AbstractThe modes of action of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIgs) in exerting their immunomodulatory properties are broad and not fully understood. IVIgs can modulate the function of various immune cells, including suppressing the capacity of dendritic cells (DCs) to stimulate T cells. In the present study, we showed that DCs matured in the presence of IVIgs (IVIg-DCs) activated NK cells, and increased their interferon-γ production and degranulation. The activated NK cells induced apoptosis of the majority of IVIg-DCs. In consequence, only in the presence of NK cells, IVIg-DCs were 4-fold impaired in their T-cell priming capacity. This was due to NK-cell–mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) to IVIg-DCs, probably induced by IgG multimers, which could be abrogated by blockade of CD16 on NK cells. Furthermore, IVIg-DCs down-regulated the expression of NKp30 and KIR receptors, and induced the generation of CD56brightCD16−CCR7+ lymph node–type NK cells. Our results identify a novel pathway, in which IVIgs induce ADCC of mature DCs by NK cells, which downsizes the antigen-presenting pool and inhibits T-cell priming. By influencing the interaction between DCs and NK cells, IVIgs modulate the ability of the innate immunity to trigger T-cell activation, a mechanism that can “cool down” the immune system at times of activation.

Abstract Triggering of the TCR/CD3 complex with specific antigen or anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody initiates activation-induced cell death (AICD) in mature T cells, an effect also mediated by the Fas/FasL system. We have previously shown that CD2 stimulation rescues T cells from TCR/CD3-induced apoptosis by decreasing the expression of Fas and FasL. In the present study, we examined whether the endogenous production of IL-2 plays a role in the effects mediated by CD2 triggering. The results indicated that transcription of Fas/FasL is controlled by interleukin-2 (IL-2) production and that CD2 triggering rescues a T-cell hybridoma from AICD via decreased production of IL-2. To ascertain whether modulation of IL-2 may be a general mechanism of AICD control, we examined other stimuli, capable of modulating the expression of the Fas/FasL system and the ensuing AICD, for ability to affect production of IL-2. We found that IL-6 reduced the level of TCR/CD3-induced apoptosis and the expression of Fas/FasL, yet failed to inhibit IL-2 production. Because IL-2 is involved in both apoptosis and activation events, these results indicate that, in contrast to CD2, which inhibits apoptosis and T cell activation, IL-6 inhibits apoptosis but not IL-2–induced activation. These observations may provide the basis for differential control of T-cell activation and apoptosis.
