Abstrakt: Expression of IL-15 on the surface of human graft endothelial cells (ECs) bound to the IL-15Rα subunit can increase the activation of CTLs, potentiating allograft rejection. Our previous work showed that surface expression of this protein complex could be induced by alloantibody-mediated complement activation through increased IL-1β synthesis, secretion, and autocrine/paracrine IL-1-mediated activation of NF-κB. In this article, we report that cultured human ECs express eight differently spliced IL-15 transcripts. Remarkably, IL-1β does not alter the expression level of any IL-15 transcript but induces surface expression independently of RNA polymerase II-mediated transcription while requiring new protein translation. Mechanistically, IL-1β causes an NF-κB-mediated reduction in the level of microRNA Let-7c-3p, thereby relieving a block of translation of IL-15 surface protein. Let7c-3p anti-miR can induce EC surface expression of IL-15/IL-15Rα in the absence of complement activation or of IL-1, enabling IL-15 transpresentation to boost CD8 T cell activation. Because of the complexity we have uncovered in IL-15 regulation, we recommend caution in interpreting increased total IL-15 mRNA or protein levels as a surrogate for transpresentation.
