Although elevated titers of serum antibodies to hsp27 accompany
human diseases such as cancer and glaucoma, evidence of their pathogenic effects is lacking. Here we present novel evidence that
exogenously applied hsp27 antibody enters neuronal cells in human
retina by an endocytic mechanism. Subsequent to internalization, hsp27
antibody facilitates apoptotic cell death as characterized by
morphological assessment, DNA fragmentation, and the activation of
cysteine aspartic acid proteases. In addition, we demonstrate that
after internalization, hsp27 antibody is detected in discrete cytoplasmic and nuclear structures and colocalizes to actin
cytoskeleton. Hsp27 antibody binding to actin results in
depolymerization and proteolytic cleavage of actin in a dose-dependent
manner. These results suggest that exogenous hsp27 antibody may induce
neuronal apoptosis by inactivating or attenuating the ability of native hsp27 to stabilize actin cytoskeleton, thereby providing a novel mechanism by which autoantibodies to hsp27 may impair cell survival in
selective human diseases.
