Popis: Damaging inflammation arising from autoimmune pathology and septic responses results in severe cases of disease. In both instances, anti-inflammatory compounds are used to limit the excessive or deregulated cytokine responses. We used a model of robust T cell stimulation to identify new proteins involved in triggering a cytokine storm. A comparative proteomic mining approach revealed the differential mapping of Raf kinase inhibitory protein after T cell recall in vivo. Treatment with locostatin, an Raf kinase inhibitory protein inhibitor, induced T cell anergy by blocking cytokine production after Ag recall. This was associated with a reduction in Erk phosphorylation. Importantly, in vivo treatment with locostatin profoundly inhibited TNF-alpha production upon triggering the Ag-specific T cells. This effect was not limited to a murine model because locostatin efficiently inhibited cytokine secretion by human lymphocytes. Therefore, locostatin should be a useful therapeutic to control inflammation, sepsis, and autoimmune diseases.
