Abstract/OtherAbstract:
B7-H3, a new member of the B7 superfamily, acts as both a T cell costimulator and coinhibitor, and thus plays a key role in the regulation of T cell-mediated immune responses. However, it is unclear whether B7-H3 is involved in the innate immune monocyte/macrophage-mediated inflammatory response. In this paper, we show that, although B7-H3 alone failed to stimulate proinflammatory cytokine release from murine macrophages, it strongly augmented both LPS- and bacterial lipoprotein-induced NF-kappaB activation and inflammatory response. This occurred in both a TLR4- and TLR2-dependent manner. Blockage of B7-H3 in vivo attenuated LPS-induced proinflammatory cytokine release and endotoxic shock-related lethality. Furthermore, we found that patients diagnosed with sepsis, in contrast to healthy individuals, exhibited significant levels of raised plasma soluble B7-H3 (sB7-H3) and that this level correlated with the clinical outcome and levels of plasma TNF-alpha and IL-6. In addition, a putative receptor for B7-H3 was detected on monocytes and peritoneal macrophages from septic patients but not on monocytes from healthy donors. Stimulation of human monocytes with LPS and inflammatory cytokines led to a substantial release of sB7-H3. Taken together, our data indicate that significantly elevated plasma sB7-H3 in septic patients may predict a poor outcome. Furthermore, we demonstrate that B7-H3 functions as a costimulator of innate immunity by augmenting proinflammatory cytokine release from bacterial cell wall product-stimulated monocytes/macrophages and may contribute positively to the development of sepsis.
