  • 摘要:T lymphocytes with specificity for the bacterial heat shock protein (hsp) 60 recognize stressed host cells, thus possibly promoting pathogenesis of certain infectious and autoimmune diseases. Here, we show that autoimmune destruction of stressed Schwann cells and macrophages by cytotoxic T lymphocytes raised against mycobacterial hsp60 can be inhibited by the use of hsp60-specific antisense oligodeoxynucleotides (A-ODNs). The inhibitory effect of hsp60 A-ODNs was specific because lysis of murine cytomegalovirus-infected host cells by virus-specific cytotoxic lymphocytes was not affected. Immunoblot analysis and immunoprecipitation studies suggest that different forms of stress increase hsp60 synthesis in Schwann cells and that this neosynthesis is reduced by hsp60 A-ODNs. These findings (i) provide evidence for participation of endogenous hsp60 in the recognition of stressed host cells by mycobacterial hsp60-crossreactive T cells and (ii) suggest the feasibility of inhibiting autoimmune reactions by target-cell treatment with specific A-ODNs.
