Mammalian Glyco_18-domain-containing proteins include catalytically active chitinases and chitinase-like proteins with cytokine activity involved in host defence and Th2-type inflammatory reactions. Here we describe a novel human Glyco_18 domain containing protein, SI-CLP, as an interacting partner of the endocytic/sorting receptor stabilin-1. Similarly to the chitinase-like cytokines YKL-39, YKL-40 and YM1/2, SI-CLP lacks a chitin-binding domain and catalytic aminoacids. Using a novel mAb 1C11, we demonstrated that SI-CLP is sorted into late endosomes and secretory lysosomes in human alternatively activated macrophages. The direct interaction of SI-CLP with stabilin-1, their co-localisation in the trans-Golgi network, and the reduced sorting of SI-CLP into lysosomes in macrophages treated with stabilin-1 siRNA suggest that stabilin-1 is involved in intracellular sorting of SI-CLP. Expression of SI-CLP in macrophages was strongly upregulated by the Th2 cytokine IL-4 and by dexamethasone. This effect was suppressed by IFN but not affected by IL-10. In contrast, expression of YKL-40 was induced by IFN and suppressed by dexamethasone. Macrophages treated with IL-4 secreted SI-CLP, while costimulation with dexamethasone blocked secretion and resulted in intracellular accumulation of SI-CLP. The 1C11 mAb detected SI-CLP in human bronchoalveolar lavage and PBLs, and can be used to analyze the role of SI-CLP in human disorders.
