Abstract

Surfactant protein A (SP-A) and transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) have been shown to modulate the functions of different immune cells and specifically to inhibit T lymphocyte proliferation. The aim of the present study was to elucidate whether the Smad signaling pathway, which is activated by TGF-beta1, also plays a role in SP-A-mediated inhibition of CD4+ T lymphocyte activation. Recombinant human SP-A1 expressed in Chinese hamster ovary cells [rSP-A1m (mammalian)], but not recombinant Baculovirus-derived rSP-A1hyp (hydroxyproline-deficient), suppressed T lymphocyte proliferation and IL-2 mRNA expression. To test whether SP-A induced Smad signaling, a Smad3/4-specific reporter gene was transfected in primary human CD4+ T lymphocytes. Only rSP-A1m, but not rSP-A1hyp, induced Smad-specific reporter genes, Smad2 phosphorylation, and Smad7 mRNA expression. The effect of rSP-A1m was mediated through the TGF-betaRII and could be antagonized by anti-TGF-beta1 neutralizing antibodies and sTGF-betaRII. Western blot and ELISA analysis revealed that rSP-A1m, but not rSP-A1hyp, contained TGF-beta1. TGF-beta1 was responsible for the differences in inhibition of CD4+ T lymphocyte proliferation and activation of the Smad signaling...Continue Reading
