ADAP restraint of STAT1 signaling regulates macrophage phagocytosis in immune thrombocytopenia.


ABSTRACT: Heightened platelet phagocytosis by macrophages accompanied by an increase in IFN-γ play key roles in the etiology of immune thrombocytopenia (ITP); however, it remains elusive how macrophage-mediated platelet clearance is regulated in ITP. Here, we report that adhesion and degranulation-protein adaptor protein (ADAP) restrains platelet phagocytosis by macrophages in ITP via modulation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1)-FcγR signaling. We show that ITP was associated with the underexpression of ADAP in splenic macrophages. Furthermore, macrophages from Adap-/- mice exhibited elevated platelet phagocytosis and upregulated proinflammatory signaling, and thrombocytopenia in Adap-/- mice was mitigated by the depletion of macrophages. Mechanistically, ADAP interacted and competed with STAT1 binding to importin α5. ADAP deficiency potentiated STAT1 nuclear entry, leading to a selective enhancement of FcγRI/IV transcription in macrophages. Moreover, pharmacological inhibition of STAT1 or disruption of the STAT1-importin α5 interaction relieved thrombocytopenia in Adap-/- mice. Thus, our findings not only reveal a critical role for ADAP as an intracellular immune checkpoint for shaping macrophage phagocytosis in ITP but also identify the ADAP-STAT1-importin α5 module as a promising therapeutic target in the treatment of ITP.
