摘要：We compare the physical and functional interactions between three widespread multifunctional proteins [metastasin (Mts1/S100A4), innate immunity-related Tag7/PGRP-S, and Hsp70] in two experimental models relevant to host-tumor relationships on humoral and cellular levels. (i) Tag7 and Hsp70 in solution or in a lymphocyte make a stable binary complex that is highly cytotoxic for some tumor cells. Here, we show that Mts1 prevents Tag7{middle dot}Hsp70 assembly in solution, and an excess of Mts1 disrupts the existing Tag7{middle dot}Hsp70 complex; accordingly, Tag7{middle dot}Hsp70 cytotoxicity (exemplified with L929 cells) is diminished in the presence of excess Mts1. (ii) Tag7 exposed on a specialized subset of lymphokine-activated killer cells makes specific contact with Hsp70 exposed on some HLA-negative tumor cells, thus enabling FasL/Fas-mediated induction of apoptosis. Here, we show that some CD4+CD25+ cells coexpose Mts1 with Tag7 and FasL, that Mts1 and Tag7 closely contact the same Hsp70 molecule on the target K562 cell (as evidenced by cross-linking), and that killing of such targets is abolished by Mts1-specific antibodies (or selective removal of Mts1-exposing lymphocytes). Thus, this phenotype active against immunoevasive cancerous cells is defined as CD4+CD25+, FasL+, Tag7+Mts1+ ({approx}0.5% of total lymphocytes in culture). Remarkably, similar effectors with at least the same activity are often found in fresh donor blood samples ({approx}104 effectors/mL). Thus, our models suggest that interactions between the three proteins in different situations may have opposite functional outcomes as regards antitumor defense, immune escape, and metastasis.
