PD‐L1 and PD‐L2 have distinct roles in regulating host immunity to cutaneous leishmaniasis

Abstract: To compare the roles of programmed death 1 ligand 1 (PD‐L1) and PD‐L2 in regulating immunity to infection, we investigated responses of mice lacking PD‐L1 or PD‐L2 to infection with Leishmania mexicana. PD‐L1–/– and PD‐L2–/– mice exhibited distinct disease outcomes following infection with L. mexicana. In comparison to susceptible WT mice, PD‐L1–/– mice showed resistance to L. mexicana, as demonstrated by reduced growth of cutaneous lesions and parasite burden. In contrast, PD‐L2–/– mice developed exacerbated … Show more

“…Without inflammatory challenges, PD-L1/2 -/-mice do not show overt manifestations of dysregulated immunity for many months. However, in the setting of infections, allografts, or preexisting susceptibility to autoimmunity, the absence or blockade of PD-L1, PD-L2, or PD-1 result in enhanced T cell responses and disease (18,(27)(28)(29)(30). Our results indicate that hypercholesterolemia and the resulting arterial pathology represent another systemic immune challenge that is regulated by the PD-L1/2 pathway.…”

“…Our finding that CD8 + T cell infiltration in atherosclerotic lesions was markedly enhanced in PD-L1/2-deficient mice is of interest, because CD8 + T cells are usually scarce in lesions compared with CD4 + T cells (1). Recent studies have shown that PD-1 is upregulated on CD8 + T cells in the setting of chronic viral infections, leading to an "exhausted" phenotype characterized by functional impairment of the T cells (28,(38)(39)(40). Blockade of PD-1 can reverse this exhausted phenotype (38,39).…”

“…PDL1 and PDL2 thus appear to be similar to the other binary costimulatory systems, such as CD80͞CD86 (4) and CD28͞inducible costimulator (38). In addition to their overlapping function, PDL1 and PDL2 were reported to play distinct roles in immune responses to Leishmaniasis mexicana (39). Compared with the WT mice, PDL1Ϫ͞Ϫ mice showed resistance to L. mexicana infection with a reduced IL-4 producing cell development, whereas PDL2Ϫ͞Ϫ mice exhibited increased susceptibility to the infection with enhanced T-dependent and T-independent humoral immune responses.…”

“…Recent reports on PD-L1 using knockout mice or in vivo studies with blocking anti-PD-L1 mAbs have been consistent with an inhibitory role for PD-L1 (13,16,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26). Recent reports on PD-L2 using knockout mice or blocking mAbs still find opposing functions (27,28). The basis for these conflicting results…”
