Signaling cascades that convert the recognition of pathogens to efficient inflammatory responses by immune cells, specifically neutrophils, are critical for host survival. SKAP2, an adaptor protein, is required for reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation following stimulation by integrins, formyl peptide receptors and gram-negative bacteria Klebsiella pneumoniae and Yersinia pseudotuberculosis in vitro (Nguyen et al., 2020, Shaban et al., 2020, Boras et al., 2017). SKAP2 is also required for the host defense against K. pneumoniae and Capital Greek DeltayopH Y. pseudotuberculosis infection in vivo in mouse models (Shaban et al., 2020, Nguyen et al., 2020). Another class of pattern recognition receptors (PRR) is the C-type lectin receptors (CLR), such as Dectin-1, Dectin-2 and Mincle, that are critical to trigger innate immune responses. Using neutrophils from murine HoxB8-immortalized progenitors, we show that SKAP2 is crucial for maximal ROS response to purified CLR agonists and to the fungal pathogens Candida glabrata and C. albicans, as well as for robust killing of C. glabrata. Skap2-/- murine neutrophils failed to generate ROS and exhibited reduced cellular adhesion in response to trehalose-6,6-dibehenate (TDB), furfurman, and curdlan, Mincle, Dectin-2, and Dectin-1 agonists, respectively. TDB, furfurman, and curdlan stimulation also led to SKAP2-independent integrin conformational changes, showing that inside-out signaling by these CLRs to integrin occurs in the absence of SKAP2. Pyk2 phosphorylation was significantly reduced after infection with C. glabrata in Skap2-/- neutrophils, while Syk phosphorylation was unaffected by the loss of SKAP2. These data strengthen the importance of SKAP2 in the activation of neutrophil ROS production by PRRs to include CLRs and extend the role of SKAP2 in host defense beyond antibacterial immunity to include Candida species.
