title: CD85j (leukocyte Ig-like receptor-1/Ig-like transcript 2) inhibits human osteoclast-associated receptor-mediated activation of human dendritic cells.
abstract: Immature dendritic cells (DCs) derived from freshly isolated human monocytes were used to evaluate the effect of the inhibiting receptor CD85j (leukocyte Ig-like receptor-1/ILT2) on activation induced by cross-linking of the human osteoclast-associated receptor (hOSCAR). CD85j and hOSCAR were expressed consistently at the same density on monocytes and on monocyte-derived DCs (both immature and mature). Cross-linking of hOSCAR, which activates via the FcR-associated gamma-chain, induced Ca(2+) flux in DCs. Concomitant cross-linking of anti-CD85j mAb abolished this early activation event. Likewise, CD85j stimulation strongly reduced IL-8 and IL-12 production by hOSCAR-activated DCs. Inhibition of DCs via CD85j also impaired their ability to enhance Ag-specific T cell proliferation induced by hOSCAR. Finally, because hOSCAR prevents apoptosis of DCs in the absence of growth/survival factors, CD85j cross-linking was able to counteract completely this antiapoptotic effect and to reduce Bcl-2 expression enhanced by hOSCAR stimulation. Thus, CD85j is an inhibiting receptor that is functional in human DCs.
