Background Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) is a polyclonal IgG preparation with potent immunomodulating properties. Our laboratory demonstrated that IVIg significantly increases numbers of forkhead box protein 3–positive regulatory T (Treg) cells through generation of tolerogenic dendritic cells (DCs) in an allergic airways disease model. Objective We sought to investigate potential receptors on DCs mediating these events. Methods C57BL/6 mice were either sensitized to ovalbumin (OVA) intraperitoneally or through adoptive transfer of OVA-primed DCs and then challenged with intranasal OVA. IVIg was fractionated into sialic acid–enriched IVIg (SA-IVIg) and sialic acid–depleted IVIg (non-SA-IVIg). Dendritic cell immunoreceptor (DCIR) constructs in CHO cells or on DCs were examined by using fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry. Results Administration of SA-IVIg, but not non-SA-IVIg, to OVA-sensitized and OVA-challenged mice induced Treg cells and attenuated airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and inflammation comparably with IVIg. Bone marrow–derived dendritic cells cultured with SA-IVIg or IVIg adoptively transferred to mice before OVA challenge induced Treg cells and inhibited AHR. IVIg-treated bone marrow–derived dendritic cells from Fcγ receptor knockout mice inhibited AHR, suggesting IVIg’s action was not caused by Fcγ receptor–mediated events. Fluorescently labeled IVIg or SA-IVIg bound DCs and colocalized specifically to the C-type lectin DCIR. IVIg binding to DCIR induced phosphorylation of Src homology domain 2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase (SHP) 2 and Src homology domain 2-containing inositol phosphatase 1 (SHIP-1) and internalization of IVIg into DCs. Inhibition of IVIg binding to DCIR by small interfering RNA completely blocked induction of Treg cells. Inhibition of SHP-2 or abrogation of IgG internalization through clatherin inhibitors rendered IVIg ineffective. Conclusions IVIg alleviates allergic airways disease through interaction of SA-IgG with DCIR. DCIR is a novel receptor for IVIg, mediating interaction of innate and adaptive immunity in tolerogenic responses.
