Nucleosomes are exposed at the cell surface in apoptosis

Abstract
Apoptotic cells are considered the source of DNA, histones, and nucleoprotein complexes that drive the production of autoantibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus. However, the role of apoptotic cells in the activation of the immune system is not clear. To explore interactions that may initiate or sustain the production of anti-nuclear autoantibodies, we characterized the binding of a large panel of monoclonal autoantibodies to apoptotic cells. Autoantibodies to DNA, individual core histones, histone-DNA complexes, or the native nucleosome core particle revealed a consistent and specific binding pattern in confocal microscopy. Immunoreactive epitopes were detected in the cytoplasm and accumulated along the surface of the fragmenting nucleus in a caspase-dependent manner. Ag-Ab complexes on nuclear fragments that had emerged from the plasma membrane were accessible to anti-isotype-reactive microparticles. Moreover, autoantibodies specific for the nucleosome core or its molecular components selectively precipitated a complex of core histones and DNA from the cytosol at 4 h after induction of apoptosis. These observations identify distinct steps in the release of nucleosomes from the nucleus and their exposure at the cell surface. Furthermore, the results indicate a direct role for nucleosomes in the execution of apoptosis, clearance of apoptotic cells, and regulation of anti-nuclear autoantibody production.
