- Abstract
CD1 isoforms are MHC class I-like molecules that present lipid-antigens to T cells and have been associated with a variety of immune responses. The lipid repertoire bound and presented by the four CD1 isoforms may be influenced by factors such as the cellular lipidome, subcellular microenvironment, and the properties of the binding pocket. In this study, by shotgun mass spectrometry, we performed a comprehensive lipidomic analysis of soluble CD1 molecules. We identified 1040 lipids, of which 293 were present in all isoforms. Comparative analysis revealed that the isoforms bind almost any cellular lipid.CD1a and CD1c closely mirrored the cellular lipidome, while CD1b and CD1d showed a preference for sphingolipids. Each CD1 isoform was found to have unique lipid species, suggesting some distinct roles in lipid presentation and immune responses. These findings contribute to our understanding of the role of CD1 system in immunity and could have implications for the development of lipid-based therapeutics., Competing Interests: MS, RK and SK were employed Immunocore Ltd. The remaining author declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be constructed as a potential conflict of interest. The author MS declared that they were an editorial board member of Frontiers, at the time of submission. This had no impact on the peer review process and the final decision., (Copyright © 2024 Szoke-Kovacs, Khakoo, Gogolak and Salio.)
