Intracellular Trafficking of CTLA-4 and Focal Localization Towards Sites of TCR Engagement

Abstract: T lymphocyte receptor CTLA-4 binds costimulatory molecules CD80 (B7-1) and CD86 (B7-2) with high avidity and negatively regulates T cell activation. CTLA-4 functions at the cell surface, yet is primarily localized in intracellular vesicles. Here, we demonstrate cycling of CTLA-4 between intracellular stores and the cell surface. Intracellular vesicles containing CTLA-4 overlapped with endocytic compartment(s) and with perforin-containing secretory granules. Cell surface expression of CTLA-4 was rapidly increas… Show more

“…A decreased CTLA-4 expression level was previously described in activated cells [21,22], and it is known that CTLA-4 is essential for initial Treg in vivo suppressor activity on APCs [23,24]. According to our results, we suggest that rapid CTLA-4 internalization occurs in Tregs at the moment of contact with APCs, suppressing the expression of MHC II and/or B7 molecules on the later.…”

“…Our data on IFN-␥R2 internalization were obtained with divalent mAb, which can give rise to patching and capping induced by ligand multivalency (20). Although we did not use monovalent Fab fragments to avoid this problem, recycling of IFN-␥R2 was confirmed by additional data.…”

“…4A, lower panels). CTLA-4 is a low expressed surface receptor involved in the inhibition of T cell functions (19) and recycles between the membrane and the cytoplasm (20). A time-dependent uptake of C.11 and anti-CTLA-4 mAb was evident at 37°C only (not shown).…”

“…It is of note that the HP-F1 mAb, that in our experiments was the most efficient mAb in functional assays, was able to exert inhibition also in HP-F1 surfaceϪ clones. There are two possible explanations for this finding: 1) surface immunofluorescence is less sensitive when compared with the functional assays, and thus a lower number of molecules is sufficient to determine inhibition; 2) similarly to that observed for CD152, a redistribution from the cytoplasm to the membrane may occur in the course of the functional assays (27).…”
