摘要


Dysregulation of class I major histocompatibility (MHC1) expression is an important mechanism of immunologic resistance for certain virus-infected or neoplastic cells. This study characterizes a new molecule affecting MHC1 expression and CTL cytotoxicity. Epithelial membrane protein 2 (EMP2) is a tetraspan protein recently identified for its role in suppressing B lymphoma tumorigenicity. The biochemistry of EMP2 suggests that it regulates the surface expression of certain membrane proteins, notably those destined for lipid raft microdomains. In this study, retroviral overexpression of EMP2 in target cells increased their susceptibility to CTL cytotoxicity. Conversely, down-expression of EMP2 using an EMP2-specific ribozyme rendered target cells CTL-resistant. EMP2 expression increased the surface levels of MHC1, CD54, and GM1 glycolipids. Biochemical fractionation indicated that these molecules reside with EMP2 in a lipid raft membrane compartment. Among MHC1 proteins, surface display of H-2D was particularly dependent on EMP2 expression, and blocking antibodies demonstrated that H-2D was critical for allogeneic CTL recognition. This study demonstrates an unexpected role for a tetraspan protein in CTL-mediated cell death and MHC1 surface trafficking.
