Popis: | Numerous studies have demonstrated the role of uridine diphosphate (UDP) and its P2Y6 receptor in the inflammatory reaction and innate immunity. However, the importance of the P2Y6 receptor in the adaptive immune response remains unclear. In this study, we demonstrate that the P2Y6 receptor is functionally expressed in murine bone marrow dendritic cells (BMDC). UDP induced a Ca2+ transient in these cells that was decreased in P2Y6-deficient mice. UDP also increased the endocytosis of fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran (FITC-dextran) and amplified the secretion of interleukin 12-p70 (IL-12p70) induced by CpG; these responses were abolished in P2Y6-deficient mice. In vivo experiments showed that the serum level of specific IgG2c after immunisation with ovalbumin was decreased in P2Y6-deficient mice, while the level of specific IgG1 was unchanged. These data suggest that the P2Y6-mediated effects of UDP on myeloid dendritic cells play a role in the in vivo Th1 skewing of the immune response. |
