OBJECTIVE: To examine whether and to what extent the intracellular trafficking features of HLA-B*2705, which is associated with the development of spondylarthritis (SpA), differ from those of HLA-B*2709 and HLA-B*0702, which are not associated with SpA.
METHODS: HeLa cells were transfected with complementary DNA encoding for HLA-B proteins fused to Renilla luciferase or yellow fluorescent protein. The subcellular distribution of properly folded and unfolded/misfolded HLA-B proteins was examined by flow cytometry and confocal microscopy of cells labeled with ME1 and HC-10 antibodies, respectively. HLA-B/HLA-B interactions were monitored in endoplasmic reticulum (ER)- and plasma membrane-enriched subcellular fractions, by bioluminescence resonance energy transfer (BRET).
RESULTS: All 3 HLA-B alleles displayed a similar distribution pattern (properly folded heavy chain at the cell surface, unfolded/misfolded proteins only in the cytoplasm). By means of BRET, we provided evidence that both HLA-B*2705 and HLA-B*2709 formed more oligomers in the ER and the plasma membrane than did HLA-B*0702. The propensity of HLA-B*2705 to form oligomers in the ER was partly attributable to residue Cys(67) of the molecule. For all 3 alleles, increased expression of HLA-B proteins was associated with intracytoplasmic accumulation of unfolded/misfolded proteins and intracellular vesicles, probably corresponding to expanded ER-Golgi intermediate compartments, in which these proteins accumulated together with the stress sensor BiP.
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the difference in disease susceptibility conferred by HLA-B*2705 and HLA-B*2709 cannot be explained by their different propensity to form dimers or misfolded proteins, thus presumably implicating other, still unknown factors.
