Résumé
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is often accompanied by immune-related pathology, with an increasing occurrence of high-risk ICI-related myocarditis. Understanding the mechanisms involved in this side effect could enable the development of management strategies. In mouse models, immune checkpoints, such as PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1), control the threshold of self-antigen responses directed against cardiac TnI (troponin I). We aimed to identify how the immunoproteasome, the main proteolytic machinery in immune cells harboring 3 distinct protease activities in the LMP2 (low-molecular-weight protein 2), LMP7 (low-molecular-weight protein 7), and MECL1 (multicatalytic endopeptidase complex subunit 1) subunit, affects TnI-directed autoimmune pathology of the heart. TnI-directed autoimmune myocarditis (TnI-AM), a CD4 All immunoproteasome-deficient strains showed mitigated autoimmune-related cardiac pathology with less inflammation, lower proinflammatory and chemotactic cytokines, less interleukin-17 production, and reduced fibrosis formation. Protection from TnI-directed autoimmune heart pathology with improved cardiac function in LMP7 By reversing heart-specific autoimmune responses, immunoproteasome inhibitors applied to a mouse model demonstrate their potential to aid in the management of autoimmune myocarditis in humans, possibly including patients with ICI-related heart-specific autoimmunity.

BACKGROUND
Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy is often accompanied by immune-related pathology, with an increasing occurrence of high-risk ICI-related myocarditis. Understanding the mechanisms involved in this side effect could enable the development of management strategies. In mouse models, immune checkpoints, such as PD-1 (programmed cell death protein 1), control the threshold of self-antigen responses directed against cardiac TnI (troponin I). We aimed to identify how the immunoproteasome, the main proteolytic machinery in immune cells harboring 3 distinct protease activities in the LMP2 (low-molecular-weight protein 2), LMP7 (low-molecular-weight protein 7), and MECL1 (multicatalytic endopeptidase complex subunit 1) subunit, affects TnI-directed autoimmune pathology of the heart.
METHODS
TnI-directed autoimmune myocarditis (TnI-AM), a CD4
RESULTS
All immunoproteasome-deficient strains showed mitigated autoimmune-related cardiac pathology with less inflammation, lower proinflammatory and chemotactic cytokines, less interleukin-17 production, and reduced fibrosis formation. Protection from TnI-directed autoimmune heart pathology with improved cardiac function in LMP7
CONCLUSIONS
By reversing heart-specific autoimmune responses, immunoproteasome inhibitors applied to a mouse model demonstrate their potential to aid in the management of autoimmune myocarditis in humans, possibly including patients with ICI-related heart-specific autoimmunity.
