DAP12 promotes IRAK-M expression and IL-10 production by liver myeloid dendritic cells and restrains their T cell allostimulatory ability.
Freshly isolated hepatic dendritic cells (DC) are comparatively immature, relatively resistant to maturation, and can downmodulate effector T cell responses. Molecular mechanisms that underlie these properties are ill defined. DNAX-activating protein of 12 kDa (DAP12) is an ITAM-bearing transmembrane adaptor protein that integrates signals through several receptors, including triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1, -2, and CD200R. Notably, DC propagated from DAP12-deficient mice exhibit enhanced maturation in response to TLR ligation. Given the constitutive exposure of liver DC to endotoxin draining from the gut, we hypothesized that DAP12 might regulate liver DC maturation. We show that DAP12 is expressed by freshly isolated liver, spleen, kidney, and lung myeloid DC. Moreover, inhibition of DAP12 expression by liver DC using small interfering RNA promotes their phenotypic and functional maturation, resulting in enhanced TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-12p70 production, reduced secretion of IL-10, and enhanced CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cell proliferation. Furthermore, DAP12 silencing correlates with decreased STAT3 phosphorylation in mature liver DC and with diminished expression of the IL-1R-associated kinase-M, a negative regulator of TLR signaling. These findings highlight a regulatory role for DAP12 in hepatic DC maturation, and suggest a mechanism whereby this function may be induced/maintained.
