The Journal of Immunology Cholera Toxin B-Subunit Prevents Activation and Proliferation of Human CD4؉ T Cells by Activation of a Neutral Sphingomyelinase in Lipid Rafts1 Alexandre K. Rouquette-Jazdanian,* Arnaud Foussat,* Laurence Lamy,* Claudette Pelassy,* Patricia Lagadec,† Jean-Philippe Breittmayer,* and Claude Aussel2* The inhibition of human CD4؉ T lymphocyte activation and proliferation by cholera toxin B-subunit (CTB) is a well-established phenomenon; nevertheless, the exact mechanism remained unclear. In the present study, we propose an explanation for the rCTB-induced inhibition of CD4؉ T lymphocytes. rCTB specifically binds to GM1, a raft marker, and strongly modifies the lipid composition of rafts. First, rCTB inhibits sphingomyelin synthesis; second, it enhances phosphatidylcholine synthesis; and third, it activates a raft-resident neutral sphingomyelinase resembling to neutral sphingomyelinase type 1, thus generating a transient ceramide production. We demonstrated that these ceramides inhibit protein kinase C␣ phosphorylation and its translocation into Downloaded from the modified lipid rafts. Furthermore, we show that rCTB-induced ceramide production activate NF-B. Combined all together: raft modification in terms of lipids, ceramide production, protein kinase C␣ inhibition, and NF-B activation lead to CD4؉ T cell inhibition.

CTB also inhibits the lation of a number of important molecules, namely MHC class II proliferation of 2.10 cells (a human IL-2-dependent, CD4Ϫ T cell (Ia), B7, CD40, ICAM-1, and IL-2R␣ (CD25) (1, 2). CTB induces clone) in response to IL-2 produced endogenously on stimulation selective apoptosis of T CD8ϩ cells. This apoptosis is preceded by with anti-TCR or provided exogenously (11).
