OBJECTIVE: In Yersinia enterocolitica-triggered reactive arthritis (Yersinia ReA), the synovial T cell response is primarily directed against bacterial components, which are mostly unknown. This study was performed to investigate the synovial proliferative T cell response to a panel of recombinant Yersinia antigens in patients with Yersinia ReA and in controls.
METHODS: Synovial fluid mononuclear cells (SFMC) were obtained from 4 patients with Yersinia ReA and from 14 patients with arthritides of different etiology. SFMC were stimulated with 5 recombinant Yersinia antigens (the 19-kd urease beta subunit, 13-kd ribosomal L23 protein, 32-kd ribosomal L2 protein, 18-kd outer membrane protein H, and Y. enterocolitica heat-shock protein 60 [hsp60]), and with human, Chlamydia trachomatis, and Borrelia burgdorferi hsp60. Three T cell clones specific for Y. enterocolitica hsp60 were generated from 1 patient with Yersinia ReA. Antigen-induced cytokine release was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
RESULTS: SFMC from all 4 patients with Yersinia ReA responded to each of the Yersinia antigens except the 13-kd protein. These antigens were also recognized by SFMC from a subgroup of patients with undifferentiated arthritis (n = 4), but not by SFMC from other patients with arthritis of different etiology (n = 10). Y. enterocolitica hsp60 induced the strongest proliferative response in all cases. Two types of hsp60-reactive T cell clones could be obtained. One clone responded to all hsp60 variants, including the human variant, and showed a type 2 T helper (Th2)-like cytokine-secretion pattern. In contrast, another clone with specificity for the bacterial hsp60 proteins, but not the human equivalent, reacted with a more Th1-like pattern.
CONCLUSION: In Y. enterocolitica-triggered ReA, at least 4 immunodominant T cell antigens exist, which might be used in lymphocyte proliferation assays to identify patients with Yersinia ReA. The hsp60 is a strong antigen, inducing both bacteria-specific and potentially autoreactive CD4+ T cells of both the Th1 and Th2 type.
