It is known that stress influences immune cell function. The underlying molecular mechanisms are unclear. We recently reported that many chemokine receptors (CRs) heteromerize with α-adrenoceptors (α-ARs) through which CRs are regulated. Here, we show that arginine vasopressin receptor 1A (AVPR1A) heteromerizes with all human CRs, except chemokine (C-X-C motif) receptor (CXCR)1, in recombinant systems and that such heteromers are detectable in THP-1 cells and human monocytes. We demonstrate that ligand-free AVPR1A differentially regulates the efficacy of CR partners to mediate chemotaxis and that AVPR1A ligands disrupt AVPR1A:CR heteromers, which enhances chemokine (C-C motif) receptor (CCR)1-mediated chemotaxis and inhibits CCR2-, CCR8-, and CXCR4-mediated chemotaxis. Using bioluminescence resonance energy transfer to monitor G protein activation and CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited THP-1 cells lacking AVPR1A or α-AR, we show that CRs that share the propensity to heteromerize with α-ARs and AVPR1A exist and function within interdependent hetero-oligomeric complexes through which the efficacy of CRs to mediate chemotaxis is controlled. Our findings suggest that hetero-oligomers composed of CRs, α-ARs, and AVPR1A may enable stress hormones to regulate immune cell trafficking.
已知压力会影响免疫细胞的功能。但其潜在的分子机制尚不清楚。我们最近报道称,许多趋化因子受体(CR)通过与α-肾上腺素能受体(α-AR)形成异源二聚体来调节,而 CR 正是通过这种方式进行调控的。在此,我们发现精氨酸加压素受体 1A(AVPR1A)与除趋化因子(C-X-C 基序)受体(CXCR)1 之外的所有人类 CR 均在重组系统中形成异源二聚体,并且这种异源二聚体可在 THP-1 细胞和人单核细胞中检测到。我们证明了无配体的 AVPR1A 可差异化调节 CR 伙伴介导趋化作用的效力,并且 AVPR1A 配体可破坏 AVPR1A:CR 异源二聚体,从而增强趋化因子(C-C 基序)受体(CCR)1 介导的趋化作用,并抑制 CCR2、CCR8 和 CXCR4 介导的趋化作用。我们使用生物发光共振能量转移来监测 G 蛋白的激活,以及使用 CRISPR/Cas9 基因编辑的缺乏 AVPR1A 或 α-AR 的 THP-1 细胞,证明了具有与 α-AR 和 AVPR1A 形成异源二聚体倾向的 CR 存在于相互依赖的异源寡聚体复合物中,通过该复合物控制 CR 介导趋化作用的效力。我们的发现表明,由 CR、α-AR 和 AVPR1A 组成的异源寡聚体可能使应激激素能够调节免疫细胞的迁移。
