Abstrakt: Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are molecular chaperones that act in a variety of cellular processes, ensuring protein homeostasis and integrity. HSPs play critical roles in the modulation of various immune cells. However, the role of HSPs in T cell activation is largely unknown. We show that HSPs are upregulated following CD3/CD28 stimulation, suggesting that HSP expression might be regulated via TCR. We found that B-cell lymphoma (BCL) patients have dysregulated expression of intracellular and extracellular HSPs, immune checkpoints PD-1, CTLA-4, and STAT3 in CD3/CD28-activated T cells. Consistent with previous findings, we show that HSP90 inhibition downregulated CD4 and CD8 surface markers in healthy controls and BCL patients. HSP90 inhibition alone or in combination with PD-1 or CTLA-4 inhibitors differentially affected CD4+ and CD8+ T cell degranulation responses when stimulated with allogeneic DCs or CD3/CD28 in BCL patients. Additionally, we showed that HSP90 inhibition does not significantly affect intracellular PD-1 and CTLA-4 expression in CD3/CD28-activated T cells. These findings may provide the basis for the discovery of novel immunological targets for the treatment of cancer patients and improve our understanding of HSP functions in immune cells.
