Interaction of CD99 and its ligand upregulates IL-6 and TNF-α upon T cell activation

CD99 has been reported to be involved in T cell regulation. CD99 ligand involvement in the regulation of T cell activation has been postulated. In this study, recombinant CD99 proteins were produced and used as a tool for determining the role of CD99 and its ligand interaction. Recombinant CD99 proteins induced the upregulation of IL-6 and TNF-α expression, but not IFN-γ, in anti-CD3 monoclonal antibody activated T cells. The cytokine alteration was not observed in unstimulated T cells indicating the cytokine upregulation required the signal from T cell activation. The upregulation of IL-6 and TNF-α was, in addition, observed in CD3- mononuclear cell population including monocytes and NK cells. The recombinant CD99 proteins, however, did not affect either CD25, CD69 or MHC class II expression or T cell proliferation, upon T cell activation. The CD99 ligands were demonstrated to be expressed on monocytes, NK cells and dendritic cells, but not on B and T cells. Our results indicated the presence of CD99 ligands on leukocyte surface. Interaction between CD99 and its ligands involves the regulation of cytokine production.
