PG - 3347-56 AB - Dendritic cells (DCs) are APCs that play an essential role by bridging innate and adaptive immunity. DC-specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) is one of the major C-type lectins expressed on DCs and exhibits high affinity for nonsialylated Lewis (Le) glycans. Recently, we reported the characterization of oligosaccharide ligands expressed on SW1116, a typical human colorectal carcinoma recognized by mannan-binding protein, which is a serum C-type lectin and has similar carbohydrate-recognition specificities as DC-SIGN. These tumor-specific oligosaccharide ligands were shown to comprise clusters of tandem repeats of Lea/Leb epitopes. In this study, we show that DC-SIGN is involved in the interaction of DCs with SW1116 cells through the recognition of aberrantly glycosylated forms of Lea/Leb glycans on carcinoembryonic Ag (CEA) and CEA-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1). DC-SIGN ligands containing Lea/Leb glycans are also highly expressed on primary cancer colon epithelia but not on normal colon epithelia, and DC-SIGN is suggested to be involved in the association between DCs and colorectal cancer cells in situ by DC-SIGN recognizing these cancer-related Le glycan ligands. Furthermore, when monocyte-derived DCs (MoDCs) were cocultured with SW1116 cells, LPS-induced immunosuppressive cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-10 were increased. The effects were significantly suppressed by blocking Abs against DC-SIGN. Strikingly, LPS-induced MoDC maturation was inhibited by supernatants of cocultures with SW1116 cells. Our findings imply that colorectal carcinomas affecting DC function and differentiation through interactions between DC-SIGN and colorectal tumor-associated Le glycans may induce generalized failure of a host to mount an effective antitumor response.
