Several staphylococcal toxins are among a growing number of immunostimulatory molecules called “superantigens” because of their ability, when presented by appropriate major histocompatibility complex class II+ accessory cells, to activate essentially all T cells bearing particular T-cell receptor Vβ gene segments. We have examined the ability of murine epidermal Langerhans cells and/or keratinocytes to act as accessory cells in the T-cell response to the superantigens staphylococcal enterotoxin B and exfoliative toxin, also known as epidermolysin. Purified murine splenic T cells were stimulated with staphylococcal enterotoxin B or exfoliative toxin in the presence of Langerhans cells–enriched epidermal cells from normal mice or epidermal cells isolated from mice pretreated with recombinant interferon-γ, a procedure that induces the expression of major histocompatibility complex class II molecules on keratinocytes. The data show that both Langerhans cells and class II-bearing keratinocytes can act as accessory cells in the T-cell response to staphylococaal enterotoxin B and exfoliative toxin. We also observed that both human and murine keratinocytes cultured in the presence of staphylococcal enterotoxin B or exfoliative toxin produce increased amounts of cytokine(s) capable of stimulating thymocytes and D10 cells, and that this toxin activity is independent of the level of expression of class II on keratinocytes. Studies by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that staphylococcal enterotoxin B stimulates keratinocytes to produce tumor necrosis factor-α but not interleukin-1, suggesting tumor necrosis factor-α and perhaps other cytokines are responsible for the T-cell proliferative activity. These results demonstrate that two distinct epidermal constituents (i.e. Langerhans cells and keratinocytes) can serve as accessory cells in the responses of T cells to superantigenic bacterial toxins. It is possible that such toxins contribute to the pathogenesis of a variety of skin diseases by either locally activating T cells bearing particular Vβ genes and/or enhancing keratinocyte production of immunomodulatory cytokines.
