The deoxyspergualin derivative LF 15-0195 has demonstrated some
efficacy in animal models of autoimmune and graft-versus-host diseases
and is currently tested in clinics. The molecular mechanisms of LF
15-0195 immunosuppressive activity remained unknown. We show that
exposure to LF 15-0195 sensitizes Jurkat T cells to apoptosis induced
by an agonistic anti-CD95 antibody (CH11 clone) and by the cytokine
TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand. LF 15-0195 does not
demonstrate any significant effect on the postmitochondrial activation
of caspases, nor does it modify overall expression of CD95,
Fas-associated death domain, and procaspase-8. The
compound facilitates the recruitment of these molecules to the
death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) and enhances caspase-8 and -10 activation, thus increasing cytochrome c and direct IAP binding with
low pI (DIABLO)/Smac mitochondrial release. LF 15-0195 also sensitizes Jurkat T cells to CD3-mediated apoptosis, an in vitro model for activation-induced T-cell death (AICD). LF 15-0195-mediated
sensitization to AICD was further confirmed in human peripheral T cells
exposed to anti-CD3 antibodies, then cultured in the presence of
interleukin-2. In these cells, LF 15-0195 increased apoptosis
triggered by either anti-CD95 antibodies or CD3 restimulation, whereas
no effect was observed on "passive apoptosis." Finally, in
bone marrow recipient mice, LF 15-0195 enhanced allogeneic donor T-cell
death, which required a functional CD95 pathway. These results suggest
that LF 15-0195 sensitizes T cells to AICD by increasing caspase
activation at the DISC level in response to CD95 engagement. This
original mechanism, together with LF 15-0195 efficacy in various
disease models, makes this compound a promising immunosuppressive drug.
