Inflammation following tissue damage promotes lymphocyte recruitment, tissue remodelling, and wound healing while maintaining self tolerance. Endogenous signals associated with tissue damage and cell death have been proposed to initiate and instruct immune responses following injury. Here we have examined the effects of elevated levels of a candidate endogenous danger signal, heat shock cognate protein 70 (Hsc70), on stimulation of inflammation and autoimmunity following cell damage. We find that damage to pancreatic β-cells expressing additional cytosolic Hsc70 leads to an increased incidence of diabetes in a transgenic mouse model. Steady-state levels of activated APC and T cell populations in the draining lymph node were enhanced, which further increased following streptozotocin-induced β-cell death. In addition, pro-inflammatory serum cytokines, and lymphocyte recruitment were increased in Hsc70 transgenic mice. Islet-antigen-specific T cells underwent a greater extent of proliferation in the lymph nodes of mice expressing Hsc70 following β-cell damage, suggesting elevated antigen presentation following release of antigen in the presence of Hsc70. These findings suggest that an elevated content of Hsc70 in cells undergoing necrotic or apoptotic cell death can increase the extent of sterile inflammation and increase the susceptibility to autoimmunity.
