摘要

Effective immune responses require antigen uptake by antigen-presenting cells (APC), followed by controlled endocytic proteolysis resulting in the generation of antigen-derived peptide fragments that associate with intracellular MHC class II molecules. The resultant peptide–MHC class II complexes then move to the APC surface where they activate CD4+ T cells. Dendritic cells (DC), macrophages and B cells act as efficient APC. In many settings, including the T helper type 1 (Th1) -dependent, proteoglycan-induced arthritis model of rheumatoid arthritis, accumulating evidence demonstrates that antigen presentation by B cells is required for optimal CD4+ T cell activation. The reasons behind this however, remain unclear. In this study we have compared the activation of CD4+ T cells specific for the proteoglycan aggrecan following antigen presentation by DC, macrophages and B cells. We show that aggrecan-specific B cells are equally efficient APC as DC and macrophages and use similar intracellular antigen-processing pathways. Importantly, we also show that antigen presentation by aggrecan-specific B cells to TCR transgenic CD4+ T cells results in enhanced CD4+ T cell interferon-γ production and Th1 effector sub-set differentiation compared with that seen with DC. We conclude that preferential CD4+ Th1 differentiation may define the requirement for B cell APC function in both proteoglycan-induced arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
