PG - 78-89 LID - S0161-5890(22)00390-X [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.molimm.2022.08.003 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Innate immune response constitutes the first line of defense against pathogens. Inflammatory responses involve close contact between different populations of cells. These adhesive interactions mediate migration of cells to sites of infection leading the effective action of cells within the lesions. Cell adhesion molecules are critical to controlling immune response mediating cell adhesion or chemotaxis, as well as coordinating actin-based cell motility during phagocytosis and chemotaxis. Recently, a newly discovered neuroplastin (Np) adhesion molecule is found to play an important role in the nervous system. However, there is limited information on Np functions in immune response. To understand how Np is involved in innate immune response, a mouse model of intraperitoneal infection was established to investigate the effect of Np on macrophage-mediated clearance of E. coli infection and its possible molecular mechanisms. METHODS: Specific deficiency mice with Nptn gene controlling Np65 isoform were employed in this study. The expression levels of mRNA and proteins were detected by qPCR and western blot, or evaluated by flow cytometry. The expression level of NO and ROS were measured with their specific indicators. Cell cycle and apoptosis were detected by specific detection kits. Acid phosphatase activity was measured by flow cytometry after labelling with LysoRed fluorescent probe. Bone marrow derived macrophages (BMDMs) were isolated from bone marrow of mice hind legs. Cell proliferation was detected by CCK8 assay. Cell migration was measured by wound healing assay or transwell assay. RESULTS: The lethal dose of E. coli infection in Np65(-/-) mice dropped to the half of lethal dose in WT mice. The bacterial load in the spleen, kidney and liver from Np65(-/-) mice were significantly higher than that from WT mice, which were due to the dramatic reduction of NO and ROS production in phagocytes from Np65(-/-) mice. Np65 gene deficiency remarkably impaired phagocytosis and function of lysosome in macrophage. Furthermore, Np65 molecule was involved in maturation and proliferation, even in migration and chemotaxis of BMDM in vitro. CONCLUSION: This study for the first time demonstrates that Np is involved in multi-function of phagocytes during bacterial infection, proposing that Np adhesion molecule plays a critical role in clearing pathogen infection in innate immunity.
