It is demonstrated that similar to interferon (IFN- ), tumor
necrosis factor- (TNF- ) induces coordinated changes at different steps of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I processing and presentation pathway in nonprofessional antigen-presenting cells
(APCs). TNF- up-regulates the expression of 3 catalytic immunoproteasome subunits LMP2, LMP7, and MECL-1 the immunomodulatory proteasome activator PA28 , the TAP1/TAP2 heterodimer, and the total
pool of MHC class I heavy chain. It was also found that in
TNF- -treated cells, MHC class I molecules reconstitute more rapidly
and have an increased average half-life at the cell surface. Biochemical changes induced by TNF- in the MHC class I pathway were
translated into increased sensitivity of TNF- -treated targets to
lysis by CD8+ cytotoxic T cells, demonstrating improved
presentation of at least certain endogenously processed MHC class
I-restricted peptide epitopes. Significantly, it was demonstrated that
the effects of TNF- observed in this experimental system were not
mediated through the induction of IFN- . It appears to be likely that
TNF- -mediated effects on MHC class I processing and presentation do
not involve any intermediate messengers. Collectively, these data
demonstrate the existence of yet another biologic activity exerted by
TNF- , namely its capacity to act as a coordinated multi-step
modulator of the MHC class I pathway of antigen processing and
presentation. These results suggest that TNF- may be useful when a
concerted up-regulation of the MHC class I presentation machinery is
required but cannot be achieved by IFN- .
