Zinc transporter SLC39A10/ZIP10 controls humoral immunity by modulating B-cell receptor signal strength

Abstract: The humoral immune response, also called the antibody-mediated immune response, is one of the main adaptive immune systems. The essential micronutrient zinc (Zn) is known to modulate adaptive immune responses, and dysregulated Zn homeostasis leads to immunodeficiency. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this Zn-mediated modulation are largely unknown. Here, we show that the Zn transporter SLC39A10/ZIP10 plays an important role in B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) signal transduction. Zip10-deficiency in m… Show more

“…Notably, we also found that ZIP10 has an important role in the humoral immune response mediated by mature B cells (21), indicating that ZIP10 has unique functions in both early and mature B-cell populations by regulating different molecular and cellular events. Our studies on ZIP10 in B cells provide new insight into the relevance of Zn signaling in immuno-physiological events.…”

“…Inflammatory T-cell behavior in animals infected with T. cruzi is also tightly regulated by a network of B cells, once the clearance of an established infection requires a successful humoral response [22]. Zinc deficiency is associated with several immune adverse effects, compromising cellular and humoral response [23]. Zinc levels are highly dependent on tissue stocks, once serum Zn is only a small percentage (0.1%) of whole-body-mass Zn content [24].…”

“…Zinc acts as an intracellular second messenger to facilitate certain signaling events [5] . Compelling evidence suggests that zinc signal from zinc transporter controls the organ-specific functions such as connective tissue development [6] , systemic growth [7] , and immune regulation [8,9] . Thus, zinc signaling is one of the emerging factors in regulation of physiological and pathological events.…”
