Abstract

The control of dendritic cell (DC) migration is pivotal for the initiation of cellular immune responses. When activated with inflammatory stimuli, the chemokine receptor CCR7 is up-regulated on DCs. Activated DCs home to lymphoid organs, where the CCR7 ligands CCL19 and CCL21 are expressed. We previously found that human monocyte-derived DCs (MoDCs) exclusively migrated to CCL19 and CCL21 when matured in the presence of prostaglandin (PG) E2. Because PGE2 did not alter CCR7 cell surface expression, we examined whether PGE2 may exert its effect by coupling CCR7 to signal transduction modules. Indeed, stimulation with CCR7 ligands led to enhanced phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase–mediated phosphorylation of protein kinase B when MoDCs were matured in the presence of PGE2. Moreover, CCL19/CCL21-induced intracellular calcium mobilization in MoDCs occurred only when PGE2 was present during maturation. MoDC migration to CCL19 and CCL21 was dependent on phospholipase C and intracellular calcium flux but not on phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase. Hence, our data provide insight into CCL19/CCL21-triggered signal transduction pathways and identify a novel function for PGE2 in controlling the migration of mature MoDCs by facilitating CCR7 signal transduction.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
