Induction of Immunological Tolerance by Apoptotic Cells Requires Caspase-Dependent Oxidation of High-Mobility Group Box-1 Protein
Open accessAbstract
The mammalian immune system discriminates between modes of cell death; necrosis often results in inflammation and adaptive immunity, whereas apoptosis tends to be anti-inflammatory and promote immune tolerance. We have examined apoptosis for the features responsible for tolerance; specifically, we looked at the roles of caspases and mitochondria. Our results show that caspase activation targeted the mitochondria to produce reactive oxygen species (ROS), which were critical to tolerance induction by apoptotic cells. ROS oxidized the potential danger signal high-mobility group box-1 protein (HMGB1) released from dying cells and thereby neutralized its stimulatory activity. Apoptotic cells failed to induce tolerance and instead stimulated immune responses by scavenging or by mutating a mitochondrial caspase target protein when ROS activity was prohibited. Similarly, blocking sites of oxidation in HMGB1 prevented tolerance induction by apoptotic cells. These results suggest that caspase-orchestrated mitochondrial events determine the impact of apoptotic cells on the immune response.

In the citing paper
“Potential immunogenic signals emanating from dying cells include proteins that appear at the surface of stressed and dying cells (such as calreticulin and heat shock proteins, HSPs), lipid moieties that flip from the inner plasma membrane leaflet to the outer leaflet (such as phosphatidylserine) 38,60, proteins that are released into the supernatant of cells (such as HMGB1) 51, as well as nucleic”

“The inhibition of caspases affects the exposure of find-me signals 40, eat-me signals 40 (Box 4), and the secretion of DAMPs51 from dying cells, as well as the exposure of CRT on anthracyclin-treated cancer cells60.”

“Thus, HMGB1 may act on the receptor for advanced glycated endproducts (RAGEs) and possibly the toll-like receptors (TLRs) including TLR2 and TLR4 51,52, although the latter are controversial 53.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
