Abstract

The non-classical HLA class I antigen HLA-G contributes to immune escape mechanisms in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). We have previously shown that IL-1β-HIF-1α axis connects inflammatory and oncogenic pathways in GBM. In this study, we investigated the role of IL-1β induced inflammation in regulating HLA-G expression. IL-1β increased HLA-G and Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) expression in a HIF-1α dependent manner. Inhibition of TLR4 signaling abrogated IL-1β induced HLA-G. IL-1β increased HMGB1 expression and its interaction with TLR4. Inhibition of HMGB1 inhibited TLR4 and vice versa suggesting the existence of HMGB1-TLR4 axis in glioma cells. Interestingly, HMGB1 inhibition prevented IL-1β induced HLA-G expression. Elevated levels of HMGB1 and β-defensin 3 were observed in GBM tumors. Importantly, β-defensin-3 prevented IL-1β induced HLA-G, TLR4, HMGB1 expression and release of pro-inflammatory mediators. Our studies indicate that β-defensin-3 abrogates IL-1β induced HLA-G expression by negatively affecting key molecules associated with its regulation.
