Osteopontin (OPN) is a chemotactic protein that attracts immune cells, to inflammatory sites. The sensitization phase of allergic cutaneous contact hypersensitivity (CHS) requires the migration of Langerhans cells/dendritic cells (LCs/DCs) from skin to draining lymph nodes. Characterizing OPN function for LC/DC migration we found upregulated OPN expression in hapten sensitized skin and draining lymph nodes. OPN induces chemotactic LC/DC migration, initiates their emigration from the epidermis, and attracts LCs/DCs to draining lymph nodes by interacting with CD44 and alphav integrin. Furthermore, OPN-deficient mice have a significantly reduced CHS response that correlates with an impaired ability of OPN-deficient mice to attract LCs/DCs to draining lymph nodes. In conclusion, OPN is an important factor in the initiation of CHS by guiding LCs/DCs from skin into lymphatic organs.
骨桥蛋白(OPN)是一种趋化蛋白,可将免疫细胞吸引至炎症部位。过敏性皮肤接触性超敏反应(CHS)的致敏阶段需要朗格汉斯细胞/树突状细胞(LCs/DCs)从皮肤迁移至引流淋巴结。在研究OPN对LC/DC迁移的作用时,我们发现半抗原致敏的皮肤和引流淋巴结中OPN表达上调。OPN可诱导LC/DC的趋化性迁移,促使其从表皮迁出,并通过与CD44和αv整合素相互作用将LCs/DCs吸引至引流淋巴结。此外,OPN缺陷小鼠的CHS反应显著降低,这与OPN缺陷小鼠将LCs/DCs吸引至引流淋巴结的能力受损有关。总之,OPN是引导LCs/DCs从皮肤进入淋巴器官从而启动CHS的重要因素。
