Partial MHC class II constructs inhibit MIF/CD74 binding and downstream effects

Abstract: Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and its receptor, CD74, are pivotal regulators of the immune system. Here we demonstrate for the first time that partial MHC class II constructs comprised of linked β1α1 domains with covalently attached antigenic peptides (also referred to as recombinant T-cell receptor ligands - RTLs) can inhibit MIF activity by not only blocking the binding of rhMIF to immunopurified CD74, but also down-regulating CD74 cell-surface expression. This bi-functional inhibition of MIF/… Show more

“…We evaluated stored PMBC samples from a cohort of eight HLA-DR2 positive MS subjects from our previous clinical study vs. eight HLA-DR2 positive, age and gender-matched healthy controls (HC) and found significantly higher expression levels of CD74 on CD11b + monocytes in MS subjects vs. HC donors. These data correlate with the data obtained from the mouse MS model (Benedek et al 2013) (Figure 1C). …”

“…We recently demonstrated enhanced CD74 cell surface expression on monocytes in mice with EAE and subjects with MS, which implicates its involvement in the disease course (Benedek et al 2013)[10]. CD74 was shown to be up-regulated in peripheral blood monocytes by 3 hours after EAE induction, ~10 days before the appearance of definite clinical signs.…”

“…MIF engagement of CD74 leads to the recruitment and activation of CD44 and CXCR2/4 to initiate signaling pathways necessary for MAPK activation and cell motility(35). We recently demonstrated enhanced CD74 cell surface expression on monocytes in mice with experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) and subjects with multiple sclerosis (MS), which implicates its involvement in the disease course(6). …”
