M. Bates From the Schering-Plough Research Institute, Laboratory for Immunological Research, Dardilly, France. We previously reported the characterization of human osteoclast-associated receptor (hOSCAR), a novel Fc receptor -chain (FcR)–associated receptor expressed by myeloid cells. Here we show that ligation of hOSCAR by specific antibodies promotes dendritic cell (DC) survival by an extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)- and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)–dependent pathway, linked to expression of the Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL antiapoptotic molecules. Crosslinking of hOSCAR leads to maturation of DCs, as demonstrated by up-regulation of maturation markers, decrease in dextran uptake capacity, and secretion of immunesystem effectors such as interleukin-8 (IL-8)/CXC chemokine ligand 8 (CXCL8), IL-12 p40, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)/chemokine receptor ligand 2 (CCL2) and macrophage-derived chemokine (MDC)/CCL22. Stimulation of hOSCAR acts in conjunction with the Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands, lipopolysaccharide (LPS), R-848, and polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid (poly(I:C)), to increase the expression of maturation markers, and to modulate cytokine release. A PI3K-dependent up-regulation of IL-10 release is observed with all the TLR ligands used, whereas regulation of IL-12 production is variable depending on the TLR stimulated. hOSCAR engagement on DCs did not significantly increase the proliferation of naive T cells; however, when co-incubated with TLR ligands, an enhanced proliferation was observed. The percentage of interferon (IFN)––producing T cells is decreased when hOSCAR engagement is combined with LPS stimulation. Altogether, these data suggest that hOSCAR may modulate the responses of both innate resistance and adaptive immunity.
