Abstract

The nonpolymorphic soluble HLA-G1 (sHLA-G1) isoform has been reported to be secreted by trophoblast cells at the materno-fetal interface, suggesting that it may act as immunomodulator during pregnancy. In this paper, we report that affinity-purified β2-microglobulin-associated sHLA-G1 triggered apoptosis in activated, but not resting CD8+ peripheral blood cells. We demonstrate by Western blotting that sHLA-G1 enhanced CD95 ligand expression in activated CD8+ cells. Cytotoxicity was inhibited by preincubation of the cells with a CD95 antagonist mAb (ZB4) or a soluble recombinant CD95-Fc, indicating that apoptosis is mediated through the CD95/CD95 ligand pathway. Finally, we show that such sHLA-G1-induced apoptosis depends on the interaction with CD8 molecules, with cell death being blocked by various CD8 mAbs.

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.
