RT Journal Article T1 CD69 targeting differentially affects the course of collagen-induced arthritis A1 Sancho, David A1 Gómez, Manuel A1 Martinez del Hoyo, Gloria A1 Lamana Domínguez, Amalia A1 Esplugues, Enric A1 Lauzurica, Pilar A1 Martinez-A, Carlos A1 Sánchez-Madrid, Francisco AB CD69 expression is induced following activation of leukocytes at inflammatory sites and plays a negative regulatory role in the development of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA). To evaluate potential strategies of CD69 targeting in chronic inflammatory diseases, two different anti-CD69 mAbs were generated and their effects on CIA were studied. Administration of the IgG1 anti-CD69 mAb 2.2 to DBA/1 mice with CIA led to an exacerbation of the disease, correlated with down-modulation of CD69 from the cell surface, and reproduced the phenotype of the CD69(−/−) mouse in wild-type animals. In contrast, treatment with the IgG2a anti-CD69 mAb 2.3 was effective in ameliorating CIA when administered in the early or intermediate phases of the disease, causing a decreased production of proinflammatory cytokines in inflammatory foci. Monoclonal antibody 2.3 induces partial depletion of CD69+ cells in vivo. Moreover, adoptive transfer of type-II collagen (CII)-sensitized cells treated with mAb 2.3 to deplete CD69+ cells did not result in arthritis. The attenuation of inflammation correlates with reduced lymphocyte proliferative response in response to CII and with a reduction in the frequency of CII-specific T cells producing IFN-γ. We thus conclude that CD69 targeting by mAbs can either enhance or dampen the immune response.
