Objective We analyzed the downstream signaling events resulting from the binding of ANP to its receptor NPRA and sought to determine what aspects of this signaling modulate DC function. Methods We utilized the inhibitory peptide NP73-102 to block NPRA signaling in human monocyte-derived DCs hmDCs and examined the effect on DC maturation and induced immune responses. The potential downstream molecules and interactions among these molecules involved in NPRA signaling were identified by immunoprecipitation and immunoblotting. Changes in T cell phenotype and function were determined by flow cytometry and BrdU proliferation ELISA. To determine if adoptively transferred DCs could alter the in vivo immune response bone marrow-derived DCs from wild-type C57BL 6 mice were incubated with ovalbumin OVA and injected . into C57BL 6 NPRA- - knockout mice sensitized and challenged with OVA. Lung sections were stained and examined for inflammation and cytokines were measured in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid collected from parallel groups of mice. Results Inhibition of NPRA signaling in DCs primes them to induce regulatory T cells. Adoptive transfer of wild type DCs into NPRA- - mice reverses the attenuation of lung inflammation seen in the NPRA-knockout model. NPRA is associated with TLR-2 SOCS3 and STAT3 and inhibiting NPRA .
