Abstract

Dendritic cells (DCs) play a predominant role in initiating cell immune responses. Here we generated a DC-targeting lentiviral vector (LVDC-UbHBcAg-LIGHT) and evaluated its capacity to elicit HBV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses. DC-SIGN-mediated specific transduction using this construct was confirmed in DC-SIGN-expressing 293T cells and ex vivo-cultured bone marrow cells. LVDC-UbHBcAg-LIGHT-loaded DCs were highly effective in inducing HBV-specific CTLs. Mechanistic studies demonstrated autophagy blocking led to a significant increase in apoptosis and obvious inhibition of CD8 + T cells entry into S-phase, correspondingly attenuated LVDC-UbHBcAg-LIGHT-loaded DC-induced T cell responses. This observation was supported by accumulation of pro-apoptotic proteins and the main negative cell cycle regulator-CDKN1B that otherwise would be degraded in activated T cells where autophagy preferentially occured. Our findings revealed an important role of autophagy in the activation of T cells and suggested LVDC-UbHBcAg-LIGHT may potentially be used as a therapeutic strategy to combat persistent HBV infection with higher security.

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis

ATG proteins

The discovery of autophagy-related ('ATG') proteins in the 1990s greatly advanced the mechanistic understanding of autophagy and clarified the fact that autophagy serves important roles in various biological processes.

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms
