pubmed:abstractText
Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) is an important cytokine released by T lymphocytes and natural killer cells which is able to induce expression of class II MHC and ICAM-1, crucial factors in cellular immune response. HeLa S3, HS 27, and NF-71-1 are cell lines which can be induced to express HLA-DR and HLA-DP by exposure to IFN-gamma. When T2 (5'GGGGTTGGTTGTGTTGGGTGTTGTGTRNH(2)3') oligonucleotide was added at 5-20 microM every other day, cell surface induction of HLA-DR and HLA-DP by IFN-gamma was suppressed in a dose-dependent manner in HeLa S3. T2 suppressive effect on HLA class II was also observed in four different nontransformed human cell lines, HS 27 at passage 18, NF-71-1 at passage 5, human corneal endothelial cell at passage 5, and human retinal pigmented epithelial cell at passage 3. Control oligonucleotides had no suppressive effect. Northern hybridization showed that HLA-DR A mRNA induction by IFN-gamma was blocked by T2 in HeLa S3 and fibroblast 143B. The suppressive effect of T2 was also reversible as continued culture of the treated cells without further addition of the oligonucleotide allowed full re-expression of HLA-DR. Further experiments showed that T2 oligonucleotide was also able to inhibit IFN-gamma enhancement of ICAM-1 (CD54) on human corneal endothelial cell and human retinal pigmented epithelial cell. We conclude that T2 oligonucleotide is effective at suppressing HLA-DR, HLA-DP and ICAM-1 induction by IFN-gamma in transformed and nontransformed cells in vitro.
