Figure 2. — TL1A-triggered TNFR25 signals are blocked by antagonistic anti-TL1A L4G6. (A) TL1A is not expressed on resting lymphocytes and up-regulated on activated T cells (top 6 graphs). Resting splenocyte cell suspensions were gated using the respective labeled antibody as a population marker and the TL1A histogram displayed. Red curve, anti-TL1A; black curve, isotype control (bottom 3 graphs). Splenocytes were activated for 24 h with plate-bound anti-CD3 or with LPS and stained with anti-TL1A and with the population marker, as indicated. After gating on the population marker, TL1A expression on activated cells is shown as blue/shaded histogram. Red curve, resting cells; black curve, isotype control. Representative of more than three experiments. (B) TNFR25 and TL1A expression on cDNA transfected P815 and EL4. Transfected (right curve in each histogram) and untransfected cells were stained with the appropriate antibody and isotype controls and analyzed by flow cytometry. (C) TNFR25 activates NF-κB when triggered by agonistic antibody 4C12, by soluble TL1A or by membrane-bound TL1A. NF-κB activation was measured in EL4 cells transfected with TNFR25 in response to TNFR25 triggering. Cells were treated with the agonistic anti-TNFR25 antibody 4C12 (5 μg/ml) for 50 min; soluble TL1A was given for 25, 50, or 70 min, as indicated in the form of 25% supernatants from TL1A-transfected EL4 cells; membrane-bound TL1A (MTL1A) was given for 50 min by adding TL1A-transfected EL4-cells directly to TNFR25-transfected EL4. Controls received EL4 (untransfected) supernatants for 50 min. Nuclear extracts were prepared and analyzed by EMSA; the arrow indicates activated NF-κB. (D) Anti-TL1A antibody L4G6 blocks TL1A induced cell death of TNFR25-transfected cells. Soluble TL1A harvested from supernatants of P815-TL1A–transfected cells were mixed with ⁵¹Cr-labeled P815-TNFR25 target cells. Different anti-murine TL1A monoclonal antibodies were added into the assay, and ⁵¹Cr release was analyzed 5 h later. L4G6 antibody completely blocked the ability of TL1A to induce apoptosis in TNFR25-transfected P815 cells.
