Programmed death-1 (PD-1) is a negative costimulatory molecule, and blocking the interaction of PD-1 with its ligands, PD-L1 (B7-H1) and PD-L2 (B7-DC), enhances autoimmune disease in several animal models. We have studied the role of PD-1 ligands in disease susceptibility and chronic progression in experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE). In BALB/c mice immunized with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) peptide 35-55, PD-L1 but not PD-L2 blockade significantly increased EAE incidence. In B10.S mice immunized with myelin proteolipid protein (PLP) peptide 139-151, both PD-L1 and PD-L2 blockade markedly enhanced EAE severity. In prediabetic NOD mice immunized with PLP48-70, PD-L2 blockade worsened EAE but did not induce diabetes, whereas PD-L1 blockade precipitated diabetes but did not worsen EAE, suggesting different regulatory roles of these two ligands in EAE and diabetes. B6 mice immunized with MOG35-55 developed chronic persistent EAE, and PD-L2 blockade in the chronic phase exacerbated EAE, whereas PD-L1 blockade did not. In contrast, SJL/J mice immunized with PLP139-151 developed chronic relapsing-remitting EAE, and only PD-L1 blockade during remission precipitated EAE relapse. The strain-specific effects of PD-1 ligand blockade did not correlate with the expression of PD-L1 and PD-L2 on dendritic cells and macrophages in lymphoid tissue, or on inflammatory cells in the CNS. However, EAE enhancement is correlated with less prominent Th2 cytokine induction after specific PD-1 ligand blockade. In conclusion, PD-L1 and PD-L2 differentially regulate the susceptibility and chronic progression of EAE in a strain-specific manner.
