Investigation of interactions between a pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF alpha) and its receptor is required for the development of new treatments for autoimmune diseases associated with the adverse effects of TNF alpha. Earlier, we demonstrated that the innate immunity protein Tag7 (PGRP-S, PGLYRP1) can interact with the TNF alpha receptor, TNFR1, and block the transduction of apoptotic signals through this receptor. A complex formed between the Tag7 protein and the major heat shock protein Hsp70 can activate TNFR1 receptor and induce tumor cell death via either apoptotic or necroptotic pathway. In this study, we show that a 12-mer peptide, designated 17.1, which was derived from the Tag7 protein, can be regarded as a novel TNF alpha inhibitor, also is able to form a cytotoxic complex with the heat shock protein Hsp70. This finding demonstrates a new role for Hsp70 protein in the immune response. Also, this new inhibitory 17.1 peptide demonstrates an anti-inflammatory activity in the complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced autoimmune arthritis model in laboratory mice. It appears that the 17.1 peptide could potentially be used as an anti-inflammatory agent.
