BackgroundThe LDL-receptor related protein 1 (LRP-1) is a scavenger receptor that regulates adaptive immunity and inflammation. LRP-1 is not known to modulate the pathogenesis of allergic asthma.ObjectiveTo assess whether LRP-1 expression by dendritic cells (DCs) modulates adaptive immune responses in house dust mite (HDM)-induced airways disease.MethodsLRP-1 expression on peripheral blood DCs was quantified by flow cytometry. The role of LRP-1 in modulating HDM-induced airways disease was assessed in mice with a deletion of LRP-1 in CD11c+ cells (Lrp1fl/fl; CD11c-Cre) and by the adoptive transfer of HDM-pulsed CD11b+ DCs from Lrp1fl/fl; CD11c-Cre mice to wild-type mice.ResultsHuman peripheral blood myeloid DC subsets from eosinophilic asthmatics have lower LRP-1 expression than cells from healthy, non-asthmatic subjects. Similarly, LRP-1 expression by CD11b+ lung DCs was significantly reduced in HDM-challenged wild-type mice. HDM-challenged LRP-1fl/fl; CD11c-Cre mice have a phenotype of increased eosinophilic airway inflammation, allergic sensitization, Th2 cytokine production, and mucous cell metaplasia. The adoptive transfer of HDM-pulsed LRP-1-deficient CD11b+ DCs into wild-type mice generated a similar phenotype of enhanced eosinophilic inflammation and allergic sensitization. Furthermore, CD11b+ DCs in the lungs of Lrp1fl/fl; CD11c-Cre mice have an increased ability to take up HDM antigen, whereas bone marrow-derived DCs display enhanced antigen presentation capabilities.ConclusionThis identifies a novel role for LRP-1 as a negative regulator of DC-mediated adaptive immune responses in HDM-induced eosinophilic airway inflammation. Furthermore, the reduced LRP-1 expression by circulating myeloid DCs from eosinophilic asthmatics suggests a possible role for LRP-1 in modulating type 2-high asthma.
