Abstract:
Here we report the cloning of the rat 90K, a homolog of the mouse cyclophilin C-associated protein/mouse adherent macrophage and human 90K. The protein is constitutively expressed by FRTL-5 thyrocytes, and its levels are modulated by TSH, insulin/IGF-I, and gamma-interferon. Transfection of the cells with 90K cDNA or exposure to purified 90K resulted in a significant increase of the expression of major histocompatibility complex class I but not class II antigens. An increased expression of 90K was obtained after viral infection or introduction into the cells of fragments of viral, bacterial, or mammalian double-strand polynucleotides. The increase was sequence independent, not CpG mediated, and associated with the expression of molecules characterizing antigen-presenting-cell phenotype. The present data along with results from previous studies suggest that 90K plays an important role in the maintenance of an appropriate level of immune response.
