These studies were performed to establish whether functional receptors for calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) are present on human dendritic cells (DCs) and to investigate potential immunomodulatory effects of CGRP on DCs other than Langerhans cells. Reverse transcriptase-PCR revealed expression of mRNA for a type 1 CGRP receptor by mature and immature blood-derived DCs. Sequence analysis confirmed the identity of the type 1 CGRP receptor (CGRP-R1). Addition of CGRP (10-7 M) to mature and immature DCs resulted in mobilization of intracellular calcium. Treatment of immature DCs with CGRP (10-7 M), before and after maturation in monocyte-conditioned medium, resulted in decreased cell surface expression of HLA-DR MHC class II and the costimulatory molecule, CD86. Treatment of immature DCs with CGRP (10-7 M) also resulted in decreased expression of CD86, but expression of HLA-DR was unchanged. When CGRP-treated mature DCs were used to stimulate allogeneic T cells, proliferative responses were dampened (approximately 50%), especially at low DC:T cell ratios (1:360). This effect was not observed with CGRP-treated, immature DCs. In contrast, CGRP-treated mature or immature DCs were no less efficient than untreated DCs in driving syngeneic T cell-proliferative responses to staphylococcal enterotoxin B. We conclude that mature and immature DCs express type 1 CGRP receptors and that signaling through these receptors may dampen mature DC-driven T cell proliferation most likely via down-regulation of CD86 and HLA-DR.
