Description
Background
HSP60 is a member of the chaperonin class of protein factors, which include the Escherichia coli groEL protein and the Rubisco subunit-binding protein of chloroplasts. It acts as a costimulator of human regulatory CD4-positive/CD25 -positive T cells, which inhibit lymphoproliferation and IFNG and TNF secretion by CD4-positive and CD8-positive T cells. HSP60 enhances Treg activity via TLR2, leading to activation of an intracellular signaling cascade that included p38, as well as inhibition of ERK phosphorylation. Suppression of target T cells is mediated by both cell-to-cell contact and by secretion of TGFB and IL10, and it leads to downregulation of ERK, NFKB, and TBET expression. The self-molecule HSP60 can downregulate adaptive immune responses by upregulating Tregs through TLR2 signaling.
