Leukocyte mono-immunoglobulin-like receptor 8 (LMIR8)/CLM-6 is an FcR?-coupled receptor selectively expressed in mouse tissue plasmacytoid dendritic cells.

ABSTRACT: Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) produce large amounts of type-I interferon (IFN) in response to viral infection or self nucleic acids. Leukocyte mono-immunoglobulin-like receptor 8 (LMIR8), also called CMRF-35-like molecule-6 (CLM-6), is a putative activating receptor among mouse LMIR/CLM/CD300 members; however, the expression and function of LMIR8 remain unclear. Here, we characterize mouse LMIR8 as a pDC receptor. Analysis of Flag-tagged LMIR8-transduced bone marrow (BM)-derived mast cells demonstrated that LMIR8 can transmit an activating signal by interacting with immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activating motif (ITAM)-containing FcR?. Flow cytometric analysis using a specific antibody for LMIR8 showed that LMIR8 expression was restricted to mouse pDCs residing in BM, spleen, or lymph node. FcR? deficiency dampened surface expression of LMIR8 in mouse pDCs. Notably, LMIR8 was detected only in pDCs, irrespective of TLR9 stimulation, suggesting that LMIR8 is a suitable marker for pDCs in mouse tissues; LMIR8 is weakly expressed in Flt3 ligand-induced BM-derived pDCs (BMpDCs). Crosslinking of transduced LMIR8 in BMpDCs with anti-LMIR8 antibody did not induce IFN-? production, but rather suppressed TLR9-mediated production of IFN-?. Taken together, these observations indicate that LMIR8 is an FcR?-coupled receptor selectively expressed in mouse tissue pDCs, which might suppress pDC activation through the recognition of its ligands.

Project description:BackgroundLens degeneration in Fpr1(-/-) mice prompted us to search for functional FPR1 expression directly on lens epithelial cells.ResultsFPR1 is functionally expressed on human lens epithelial cells but has atypical properties compared with hematopoietic cell FPR1.ConclusionLens epithelial cell FPR1 may be involved in development and maintenance of the lens.SignificanceThis is the first link between non-hematopoietic expression of FPR1 and an ophthalmologic phenotype. Formyl peptide receptor 1 (FPR1) is a G protein-coupled chemoattractant receptor expressed mainly on leukocytes. Surprisingly, aging Fpr1(-/-) mice develop spontaneous lens degeneration without inflammation or infection (J.-L. Gao et al., manuscript in preparation). Therefore, we hypothesized that FPR1 is functionally expressed directly on lens epithelial cells, the only cell type in the lens. Consistent with this, the human fetal lens epithelial cell line FHL 124 expressed FPR1 mRNA and was strongly FPR1 protein-positive by Western blot and FACS. Competition binding using FPR1 ligands N-formyl-Nle-Leu-Phe-Nle-Tyr-Lys (Nle = Norleucine), formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine, and peptide W revealed the same profile for FHL 124 cells, neutrophils, and FPR1-transfected HEK 293 cells. Saturation binding with fluorescein-labeled N-formyl-Nle-Leu-Phe-Nle-Tyr-Lys revealed ~2500 specific binding sites on FHL-124 cells (K(D) ~ 0.5 nm) versus ~40,000 sites on neutrophils (K(D) = 3.2 nm). Moreover, formylmethionylleucylphenylalanine induced pertussis toxin-sensitive Ca(2+) flux in FHL 124 cells, consistent with classic G(i)-mediated FPR1 signaling. FHL 124 cell FPR1 was atypical in that it resisted agonist-induced internalization. Expression of FPR1 was additionally supported by detection of the intact full-length open reading frame in sequenced cDNA from FHL 124 cells. Thus, FHL-124 cells express functional FPR1, which is consistent with a direct functional role for FPR1 in the lens, as suggested by the phenotype of Fpr1 knock-out mice.

Project description:Targeting the interaction of leukocyte-associated immunoglobulin-like receptor-1 (LAIR-1) and its ligands has been shown to reinstate antitumor immunity. In addition, the introduction of the LAIR-1 decoy protein, LAIR-2, sensitizes previously resistant lung tumors to programmed death-1 (PD-1) blockade, indicating the potential of LAIR-1 as an alternative marker for anti-PD-1 resistance in lung cancer. Here, we assessed LAIR-1 as compared with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in various tumors, with a focus on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and its histologic subtypes using multiplexed quantitative immunofluorescence (mQIF) in 287 (discovery cohort) and 144 (validation cohort) patients with NSCLC. In addition, using multispectral imaging technology on mQIF images, we evaluated the localization of LAIR-1 on various cell types. We observed that CD14+, CD68+, and CD163+ monocytes and CK+ tumor cells predominantly expressed LAIR-1 more than other cell types. Furthermore, LAIR-1 expression in the tumor compartment was significantly higher in patients with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) than those with lung squamous cell carcinoma subtype (**, P = 0.003). Our results indicated that high tumor LAIR-1 expression in patients with LUAD is negatively associated with OS (overall survival, HR = 2.4; *, P = 0.02) highlighting its prognostic value in LUAD but not in other subtypes. The Pearson correlation between LAIR-1 and PD-L1 is 0.31; however, mutual exclusive staining pattern (i.e., several cases were positive for LAIR-1 and negative for PD-L1) was observed. Altogether, our data suggest that the combination therapy of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 with anti-LAIR-1 or the anti-LAIR-1 monotherapy alone may be promising cancer immunotherapeutic strategies.SignificanceThe spatial, quantitative assessment of LAIR-1 in NSCLC shows positive association of OS with high LAIR-1+/CD68+ cell densities and negative association of OS with high LAIR-1 expression in LUAD tumor subtype.
