Combined Natural Killer Cell and Dendritic Cell Functional Deficiency in KARAP/DAP12 Loss-of-Function Mutant Mice

Abstract: KARAP/DAP12 is a transmembrane polypeptide with an intracytoplasmic immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM). KARAP/DAP12 is associated with several activating cell surface receptors in hematopoietic cells. Here, we report that knockin mice bearing a nonfunctional KARAP/DAP12 ITAM present altered innate immune responses. Although in these mice NK cells are present and their repertoire of inhibitory MHC class I receptors is intact, the NK cell spectrum of natural cytotoxicity toward tumor cell targ… Show more

“…(17) ITAM-deficient DAP12 knock-in mice, with nonfunctional DAP12, have an accumulation of dendritic cells in the mucocutaneous epithelia, and these dendritic cells fail to migrate to draining lymph nodes in response to a hapten skin challenge. (21) Thus, TREM2-DAP12 signaling may contribute to chemotaxis in both dendritic cells and OCs. Further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms of these effects, but TREM2 stimulation of OCs leading to enhanced migration of OC precursors would be of particular importance in the setting of pro-inflammatory signals generated in areas of inflammation, such as in rheumatoid arthritis erosions.…”

“…The presence of a charged arginine residue in the transmembrane domain of DCAR encouraged us to investigate the possibility that DCAR acts as an activating receptor in association with an adaptor molecule. The most widely used ITAM- bearing adaptor molecule would be DAP12 (38), and its critical role in DC antigen-priming capacity as well as in NK cell activation was demonstrated by the analysis of DAP12-deficient mice (39,40). In fact, myeloid DAP12-associating lectin-1 (41), triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (42), and signal-regulatory protein ␤ (43, 44) have been identified as DAP12-associating immunoreceptors expressed in myeloid cells.…”

“…62 Interestingly, genetic mutations in human DAP12 or TREM-2 result in a bone-fracture syndrome called Nasu-Hakola disease, further suggesting that plexin-A1 physiologically associates with the TREM/ DAP12 complex and that this interaction is relevant to these diseases.…”
