Abstract
The junctional adhesion molecule-A (JAM-A) is an adhesion molecule present in the surface of several cell types, such as endothelial cells and leukocytes as well as Dendritic Cells (DC). Given the potential relevance of JAM-A in diverse pathological conditions such as inflammatory diseases and cancer, we investigated the role of JAM-A in CD4+ T cell priming. We demonstrate that JAM-A is present in the immunological synapse formed between T cells and DC during priming. Furthermore, an antagonistic anti-JAM-A mAb could disrupt the interaction between CD4+ T cell and DC. Antagonism of JAM-A also attenuated T cell activation and proliferation with a decrease in T-bet expression and increased IL-6 and IL-17 secretion. These findings demonstrate a functional role for JAM-A in interactions between CD4+ T cells and DCs during T cell priming as a positive regulator of Th1 differentiation.
