Abstract/OtherAbstract:
CD160 has been initially identified as a GPI-anchored MHC-class I activating receptor mainly expressed on peripheral blood NK cells. Herein, we report the identification of three additional CD160-related mRNAs generated through alternative splicings of the CD160 gene, among which one encoded a putative CD160 transmembrane isoform (CD160-TM). We first establish that CD160-TM surface expression is highly restricted to NK cells and is activation-dependent. Additionally, we provide evidence that CD160-TM represents a novel activating receptor, as assessed by the increased CD107a NK cell surface mobilization observed upon its engagement. Finally, we demonstrate that the CD160-TM cytoplasmic tail is by itself sufficient to mediate the recruitment of Erk1/2 signaling pathway, and that the initiation of this activation process is dependent on the Src-family kinase p56(lck). The identification of CD160-TM therefore provides new possibilities regarding the role of CD160 isoforms in the regulation of NK cell functions.
