CD39 is the dominant Langerhans cell–associated ecto-NTPDase: Modulatory roles in inflammation and immune responsiveness

Abstract: CD39, the endothelial ecto-nucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase (NTPDase), regulates vascular inflammation and thrombosis by hydrolyzing ATP and ADP. Although ecto-NTPDase activities have been used as a marker of epidermal dendritic cells (DCs) known as Langerhans cells, the identity and function of these activities remain unknown. Here we report that Langerhans cells in CD39-/- mice express no detectable ecto-NTPDase activity. Irritant chemicals triggered rapid ATP and ADP release from keratinocytes and… Show more

“…The duration of extracellular signaling via NAD ϩ is controlled by the CD38 family ecto-NADglycohydrolases/ADP-ribosylcyclases that hydrolyze NAD ϩ to ADP-ribose and the CD203 family of phosphodiesterases that hydrolyze NAD ϩ to nicotinamide mononucleotide and AMP (20,35,36). Similarly, the concentration of ATP and the duration of signaling via ATP in the extracelluar compartment are controlled by the CD39 family of ecto-nucleotidases and the CD203 family of phosphodiesterases which hydrolyze ATP to ADP and/or AMP (37)(38)(39).…”

“…NTPDase1 is a lymphocyte activation marker and found to be expressed on natural killer cells, monocytes, dendritic cells, and subsets of activated T cells. By modulating purinergic signaling, the enzyme plays a major role in the control of the cellular immune response [43][44][45]. In addition to other tissues, prominent expression of NTPDase1 is observed on vascular endothelium.…”

“…In addition, in another study Mizumoto et al [91] observed that exposure to ATP concentrations of up to 10 mM in CD39−/− mice caused no significant death of CD39−/− dendritic cells (DCs), whereas 2.5 mM ATP was sufficient to kill wild-type DCs. The pretreatment of CD39−/− DCs with soluble apyrase restored ATP responsiveness, demonstrating P2-receptor desensitization in CD39−/− DCs.…”
