Research has shown that human epidermal keratinocytes can protect the body against infection and injury by inhibiting the proliferation of immune cells under normal and inflammatory conditions. This inhibition is achieved through the secretion of soluble factors and the cell-surface expression of HLA-G1 and PD-L1 immune checkpoints.
Human skin protects the body against infection and injury. This protection involves immune and epithelial cells, but their interactions remain largely unknown. Here, we show that cultured epidermal keratinocytes inhibit allogenic CD4(+) T-cell proliferation under both normal and inflammatory conditions. Inhibition occurs through the secretion of soluble factors, including TGFB1 and the cell-surface expression of HLA-G1 and PD-L1 immune checkpoints. For the first time, we here describe the expression of the HLA-G1 protein in healthy human skin and its role in keratinocyte-driven tissue immunomodulation. The overexpression of HLA-G1 with an inducible vector increased the immunosuppressive properties of keratinocytes, opening up perspectives for their use in allogeneic settings for cell therapy.
