Background
Lymphotoxin
alpha (LT alpha) and Lymphotoxin beta (LT beta) are pro-inflammatory TNF
superfamily ligands that play important roles in immune system development (1, 2). Mouse LT alpha cDNA encodes a
202 amino acid (aa) secreted soluble protein with a 33 aa signal
sequence. The mature mouse LT alpha shares 75% aa sequence identity with human
LT alpha (3, 4). Mouse LT beta cDNA encodes a 306 aa type II membrane
protein with a 27 aa N-terminal cytoplasmic domain, a 21 aa transmembrane region,
and a 258 aa extracellular domain. It shares 73% aa sequence identity with human
LT beta within common regions of their extracellular domains (5). Secreted LT alpha
assembles as a soluble homotrimer, LT alpha 3. In addition, secreted LT alpha
also complexes with the membrane associated LT beta to generate two types of
heterotrimers, LT alpha 1/beta 2 and LT alpha 2/beta 1 (5). The soluble LT alpha 3 binds both TNF RI (p55) and TNF RII (p75). In contrast, the
predominant membrane-bound heterotrimer, LT alpha 1/beta 2, binds only to the
lymphotoxin beta receptor (LT beta R). LT alpha 2/beta 1 is capable of binding
LT beta R, TNF RI (p55), and TNF RII (p75). LT plays a role in normal
lymphoid organogenesis (6, 7). The LT alpha 1/beta 2 heterotrimer
binds and activates the LT beta R/TNFRSF3 which is
expressed on macrophages, dendritic cells, hepatocytes, intestinal epithelial
cells (IEC), follicular dendritic cells (FDC), and high endothelial venules
(HEV) (2, 8, 9). LT beta R also serves as a receptor for LIGHT/TNFSF14 (10). LT alpha 1/beta 2 promotes the development of FDC networks and HEV in lymphoid
tissue, the class switching of immature B cells for IgA production, and the
production of homeostatic IL-22 by ILCs (11-14). It can be shed by ADAM17 or
MMP-8 mediated cleavage, and the released heterotrimer circulates in the serum
and is elevated in synovial fluid of rheumatoid arthritis patients (15).
