DNA-PKcs controls an endosomal signaling pathway for a proinflammatory response by natural killer cells.

ABSTRACT: Endosomes are emerging as specialized signaling compartments that endow receptors with distinct signaling properties. The diversity of endosomal signaling pathways and their contribution to various biological responses is still unclear. CD158d, which is also known as the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) 2DL4 (KIR2DL4), is an endosome-resident receptor in natural killer (NK) cells that stimulates the release of a unique set of proinflammatory and proangiogenic mediators in response to soluble human leukocyte antigen G (HLA-G). Here, we identified the CD158d signaling cascade. In response to soluble agonist antibody or soluble HLA-G, signaling by CD158d was dependent on the activation of nuclear factor kappaB (NF-kappaB) and the serine-threonine kinase Akt. CD158d associated with the catalytic subunit of DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PKcs), promoted the recruitment of Akt to endosomes, and stimulated the DNA-PKcs-dependent phosphorylation of Akt. The sequential requirement for DNA-PKcs, Akt, and NF-kappaB in signaling by CD158d delineates a previously uncharacterized endosomal signaling pathway for a proinflammatory response in NK cells.

Project description:Dopamine (DA), a neurotransmitter in the nervous system, has been shown to modulate immune function. We have previously reported that five subtypes of DA receptors, including D1R, D2R, D3R, D4R and D5R, are expressed in T lymphocytes and they are involved in regulation of T cells. However, roles of these DA receptor subtypes and their coupled signal-transduction pathway in modulation of natural killer (NK) cells still remain to be clarified. The spleen of mice was harvested and NK cells were isolated and purified by negative selection using magnetic activated cell sorting. After NK cells were incubated with various drugs for 4 h, flow cytometry measured cytotoxicity of NK cells against YAC-1 lymphoma cells. NK cells expressed the five subtypes of DA receptors at mRNA and protein levels. Activation of D1-like receptors (including D1R and D5R) with agonist SKF38393 enhanced NK cell cytotoxicity, but activation of D2-like receptors (including D2R, D3R and D4R) with agonist quinpirole attenuated NK cells. Simultaneously, SKF38393 elevated D1R and D5R expression, cAMP content, and phosphorylated cAMP-response element-binding (CREB) level in NK cells, while quinpirole reduced D3R and D4R expression, cAMP content, and phosphorylated CREB level in NK cells. These effects of SKF38393 were blocked by SCH23390, an antagonist of D1-like receptors, and quinpirole effects were abolished by haloperidol, an antagonist of D2-like receptors. In support these results, H89, an inhibitor of phosphokinase A (PKA), prevented the SKF38393-dependent enhancement of NK cells and forskolin, an activator of adenylyl cyclase (AC), counteracted the quinpirole-dependent suppression of NK cells. These findings show that DA receptor subtypes are involved in modulation of NK cells and suggest that D1-like receptors facilitate NK cells by stimulating D1R/D5R-cAMP-PKA-CREB signaling pathway and D2-like receptors suppress NK cells by inhibiting D3R/D4R-cAMP-PKA-CREB signaling pathway. The results may provide more targets of therapeutic strategy for neuroimmune diseases.
