| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Mycobacterial cell wall lipids have immune-stimulating or modulating activities. Several C-type lectin receptors associated with immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-bearing adaptor FcRγ recognize mycobacterial glycolipids and play important roles in anti-mycobacterial immunity. On the other hand, previous studies suggested immunomodulatory role of DAP12, another ITAM-bearing adaptor, in anti-mycobacterial immunity, implicating the presence of DAP12-associated receptors that might recognize immunomodulatory ligands in mycobacteria. We identified two novel ITAM-coupled receptors that recognize the immunomodulatory mycobacterial lipids mycolate (MA) and phenolic glycolipids (PGL). Deficiency of these receptors in macrophages abrogated the response to these lipids. Activation of the MA receptor recruited mycobacterium permissive macrophages. Loss of the MA receptor enhanced mincle-induced inflammation in vivo and accelerated clearance of M. bovis BCG infected in mice.
