Abstract
Immature dendritic cells (DCs) specialize in antigen capture and maintain a highly dynamic pool of intracellular major histocompatibility complex class II (MHCII) that continuously recycles from peptide loading compartments to the plasma membrane and back again. This process facilitates sampling of environmental antigens for presentation to T helper cells. Here, we show that a signaling pathway mediated by the DC immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-containing adaptors (DAP12 and FcRγ) and Vav family guanine nucleotide exchange factors controls the half-life of surface peptide-MHCII (pMHCII) complexes and is critical for CD4 T-cell triggering in vitro. Strikingly, mice with disrupted DC ITAMs show defective T helper cell priming in vivo and are protected from experimental autoimmune encephalitis. Mechanistically, we show that deficiency in ITAM signaling results in increased pMHCII internalization, impaired recycling, and an accumulation of ubiquitinated MHCII species that are prematurely degraded in lysosomes. We propose a novel mechanism for control of T helper cell priming.

Abstract
DAP12 is an adapter protein that associates with several receptors in macrophages. Little is known about the biological role of DAP12 in alveolar macrophages. In genome-wide profiling, we previously found that two DAP12-associated receptors, myeloid DAP12-associated lectin-1 and triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2), were highly induced in alveolar macrophages from habitual smokers. Here, we found that transcript levels for these receptors in alveolar macrophages increased with packs per day of cigarettes smoked and expression of TREM2 protein was increased in lung macrophages of former smokers with emphysema compared with that in controls. In vitro, cigarette smoke directly induced expression of myeloid DAP12-associated lectin-1 and TREM2 and activation of DAP12 signaling in mouse macrophages. To determine whether DAP12 plays a role in cigarette smoke-induced pulmonary inflammation, we exposed wild-type and DAP12-deficient mice to chronic cigarette smoke and found significant reduction in recruitment of alveolar macrophages in DAP12-deficient mice. Because cigarette smoking induces the macrophage chemoattractant CCL2, we tested the chemotactic ability of DAP12-deficient macrophages and found abrogation of chemotaxis toward CCL2 in vitro. Airway administration of CCL2 also resulted in a significant reduction of macrophage recruitment to the lungs of DAP12-deficient mice compared with that in controls. DAP12 was also required for normal macrophage migration in a "scratch" assay. Reconstitution studies revealed that phosphorylation of the DAP12 ITAM was required for normal migration in vitro and association with TREM2 was sufficient for normal migration. These findings indicate that DAP12, possibly through association with TREM2, contributes to alveolar macrophage chemotaxis and recruitment to the lung and may mediate macrophage accumulation in lung diseases such as emphysema.

Abstract
Lymphatic vessels are essential for tissue homeostasis and immune surveillance and contribute to pathological conditions. Lymphatic endothelium differentiates from veins and forms an independent vascular tree with only few connections to the venous circulation. Failure of blood and lymphatic vessel separation results in hemorrhage and edema. VEGF-C and -D are strong inducers of lymphangiogenesis and have essential (VEGF-C) and modulatory (VEGF-D) roles during developmental lymphangiogenesis. We describe here a myeloid population that is defined by expression of the tyrosine kinase Syk, comprises largely M2-polarized mononuclear cells, and robustly expresses angiogenic factors, including VEGF-C/-D and chemokines. These cells stimulate lymphangiogenesis in vivo. Deletion of Syk causes increased chemotractant production, enhanced transmigration, and accumulation in the skin. Ensuing lymphatic hyperplasia and vessel dilation cause the formation of blood-lymphatic shunts. This mechanism does not involve circulating endothelial progenitor cells and demonstrates the potential of hematopoietic cells to control developmental lymphangiogenesis.

Abstract
An important function of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-coupled receptors is cross-regulation of heterologous receptor signaling, but mechanisms of cross-inhibition are poorly understood. We show that high-avidity ligation of ITAM-coupled beta2 integrins and FcgammaRs in macrophages inhibited type I interferon receptor and Toll-like receptor (TLR) signaling and induced expression of interleukin-10 (IL-10); signaling inhibitors SOCS3, ABIN-3, and A20; and repressors of cytokine gene transcription STAT3 and Hes1. Induction of inhibitors was dependent on a pathway composed of signaling molecules DAP12, Syk, and Pyk2 that coupled to downstream kinases p38 and MSKs and required integration of IL-10-dependent and -independent signals. ITAM-induced inhibitors abrogated TLR responses by cooperatively targeting distinct steps in TLR signaling. Inhibitory signaling was suppressed by IFN-gamma and attenuated in inflammatory arthritis synovial macrophages. These results provide an indirect mechanism of cross-inhibition of TLRs and delineate a signaling pathway important for deactivation of macrophages.

Abstract
Receptor-mediated transmembrane signaling plays an important role in health and disease. Recent significant advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms linking ligand binding to receptor activation revealed previously unrecognized striking similarities in the basic structural principles of function of numerous cell surface receptors. In this work, I demonstrate that the Signaling Chain Homooligomerization (SCHOOL)-based mechanism represents a general biological mechanism of transmembrane signal transduction mediated by a variety of functionally unrelated single- and multichain activating receptors. within the SCHOOL platform, ligand binding-induced receptor clustering is translated across the membrane into protein oligomerization in cytoplasmic milieu. This platform resolves a long-standing puzzle in transmembrane signal transduction and reveals the major driving forces coupling recognition and activation functions at the level of protein-protein interactions-biochemical processes that can be influenced and controlled. The basic principles of transmembrane signaling learned from the SCHOOL model can be used in different fields of immunology, virology, molecular and cell biology and others to describe, explain and predict various phenomena and processes mediated by a variety of functionally diverse and unrelated receptors. Beyond providing novel perspectives for fundamental research, the platform opens new avenues for drug discovery and development.

Abstract
The adapter proteins DAP12 and FcRgamma associate with a wide spectrum of receptors in a variety of innate immune cells to mediate intracellular signaling pathways when their cognate receptor is engaged. These adapter proteins are coupled to their receptors through charged residues within the transmembrane regions of the adapter and receptor. DAP12 and FcRgamma contain specific protein domains (referred to as immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs) that serve as the substrates and docking sites for kinases, allowing amplification of intracellular signaling reactions. Recent research has broadened the repertoire of receptors that utilize these adapters for signaling to include not only novel immunoglobulin superfamily members but also cytokine receptors, integrins, and other adhesion molecules. There is abundant evidence that these multifunctional signaling adapters also mediate inhibitory activity, downmodulating signaling from Toll-like receptors and other heterologous receptors. In this review, we discuss the newly described receptors that utilize DAP12 and/or FcRgamma adapters to modulate innate immune responses.

Abstract
Fusion of macrophages leads to the formation of osteoclasts in bone and of multinucleated giant cells in granulomas. The precise function of granuloma-associated multinucleates giant cells is not clear but substantial progress has recently been made in identifying the molecular machinery involved in macrophage fusion. Signaling processes mediated by DAP12 and STAT6 induce a fusion-competent status. Chemotaxis through CCL2, cell-cell adhesion mediated by E-cadherin, exposure of phosphatidylserine, lipid recognition by CD36 and cytoskeletal rearrangements depending on RAC1 are prerequisites for successful macrophage fusion. We review current knowledge on the molecular mediators of giant cell formation, compare giant cells with osteoclasts and highlight key target areas for future research and medical relevance.

Abstract
An important function of receptors that signal through immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motifs (ITAMs) is to regulate signaling by heterologous receptors. This review describes mechanisms by which ITAM-associated receptors modulate signaling by Toll-like receptors (TLRs), tumor necrosis factor receptor family members and cytokine receptors that use the Jak-STAT signaling pathway, and the biological importance of this signal transduction cross-talk. ITAM-mediated cross-regulation can either augment or dampen signaling by other receptors. Conversely, TLRs and cytokines modulate ITAM-mediated signaling, by means including activation of beta2 integrins that are coupled to the ITAM-containing adaptors DAP12 and FcRgamma. Integration of ITAM signaling into signaling networks through cross-talk with other signal transduction pathways results in tight regulation and fine tuning of cellular responses to various extracellular stimuli and contributes to induction of specific activation and differentiation pathways.

Abstract
Phagocytosis, which is essential for the immune response to pathogens, is initiated by specific interactions between pathogens and cell surface receptors expressed by phagocytes. This study identifies triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM-2) and its signaling counterpart DAP12 as a molecular complex that promotes phagocytosis of bacteria. Expression of TREM-2-DAP12 enables nonphagocytic Chinese hamster ovary cells to internalize bacteria. This function depends on actin cytoskeleton dynamics and the activity of the small guanosine triphosphatases Rac and Cdc42. Internalization also requires src kinase activity and tyrosine phosphorylation. In bone marrow-derived macrophages, phagocytosis is decreased in the absence of DAP12 and can be restored by expression of TREM-2-DAP12. Depletion of TREM-2 inhibits both binding and uptake of bacteria. Finally, TREM-2-dependent phagocytosis is impaired in Syk-deficient macrophages. This study highlights a novel role for TREM-2-DAP12 in the immune response to bacterial pathogens.

Abstract
Prior to the development of type 1 diabetes, T cells are primed in the pancreatic lymph nodes (PLN) where they interact with APC displaying beta cell-derived peptides. The details concerning the regulation of autoreactive T cell responses in the PLN are unclear. BDC2.5/B6g7 TCR transgenic mice represent a simplified model of type 1 diabetes, in which beta cell-specific CD4+ T cells expressing a diabetogenic transgenic TCR are first activated in the PLN and subsequently home to the pancreas where they mediate killing of beta cells. DNAX-activating protein of 12 kDa (DAP12) is an adaptor molecule carrying an ITAM motif. It associates with receptors on lymphoid and myeloid cells, including APC. We here show that introduction of a DAP12 null mutation in BDC2.5/B6g7 mice accelerated diabetes development and promoted an augmented activation state of PLN T cells expressing the transgenic TCR. Transferred BDC2.5 T cells proliferated more efficiently in the PLN of DAP12-deficient B6g7 recipients, which correlated with a decreased impact of co-transferred BDC2.5+CD4+CD25+ T cells. We propose that signaling through a DAP12-associated receptor on APC facilitates activation of Treg in the PLN and by this contributes to the maintenance of peripheral tolerance to beta cell-derived antigens.

Abstract
Myeloid dendritic cells (mDC) activated with a B7-DC-specific cross-linking IgM Ab (B7-DC XAb) take up and retain Ag and interact with T cell compartments to affect a number of biologic changes that together cause strong antitumor responses and blockade of inflammatory airway disease in animal models. The molecular events mediating the initial responses in mDC remain unclear. In this study we show that B7-DC XAb caused rapid phosphorylation of the adaptor protein DAP12 and intracellular kinases Syk and phospholipase C-gamma1. Pretreatment of mDC with the Syk inhibitor piceatannol blocked B7-DC XAb-induced Ag uptake with a concomitant loss of tumor protection in mice. Vaccination with tumor lysate-pulsed wild-type B7-DC XAb-activated mDC, but not TREM-2 knockout XAb-activated mDC, protected mice from lethal melanoma challenge. Multimolecular caps appeared within minutes of B7-DC XAb binding to either human or mouse mDC, and FRET analysis showed that class II, CD80, CD86, and TREM-2 are recruited in tight association on the cell surface. When TREM-2 expression was reduced in wild-type mDC using short hairpin RNA or by using mDC from TREM-2 knockout mice, in vitro DC failed to take up Ag after B7-DC XAb stimulation. These results directly link TREM-2 signaling with one change in the mDC phenotype that occurs in response to this unique Ab. The parallel signaling events observed in both human and mouse mDC support the hypothesis that B7-DC cross-linking may be useful as a therapeutic immune modulator in human patients.

Abstract
Siglecs (sialic acid-binding Ig-like lectins) are mainly expressed in the immune system. Sn (sialoadhesin) (siglec-1), CD22 (siglec-2) and siglec-15 are well conserved, whereas the CD33-related siglecs are undergoing rapid evolution, as reflected in large differences in repertoires among the different mammals studied so far. In the present paper, we review recent findings on the signalling properties of the CD33-related siglecs and discuss the emergence of both inhibitory and activating forms of this family. We also discuss how Sn may function as a positive regulator of adaptive immune responses and its emerging role as an induced macrophage pattern-recognition molecule for sialylated pathogens, especially enveloped viruses.

Abstract
Receptors carrying immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibition motifs (ITIMs) in their cytoplasmic tail control a vast array of cellular responses, ranging from autoimmunity, allergy, phagocytosis of red blood cells, graft versus host disease, to even neuronal plasticity in the brain. The inhibitory function of many receptors has been deduced on the basis of cytoplasmic ITIM sequences. Tight regulation of natural killer (NK) cell cytotoxicity and cytokine production by inhibitory receptors specific for major histocompatibility complex class I molecules has served as a model system to study the negative signaling pathway triggered by an ITIM-containing receptor in the physiological context of NK-target cell interactions. Advances in our understanding of the molecular details of inhibitory signaling in NK cells have provided a conceptual framework to address how ITIM-mediated regulation controls cellular reactivity in diverse cell types.

Abstract
Multinucleated giant cells, formed by fusion of macrophages, are a hallmark of granulomatous inflammation. With a genetic approach, we show that signaling through the adaptor protein DAP12 (DNAX activating protein of 12 kD), its associated receptor triggering receptor expressed by myeloid cells 2 (TREM-2), and the downstream protein tyrosine kinase Syk is required for the cytokine-induced formation of giant cells and that overexpression of DAP12 potentiates macrophage fusion. We also present evidence that DAP12 is a general macrophage fusion regulator and is involved in modulating the expression of several macrophage-associated genes, including those encoding known mediators of macrophage fusion, such as DC-STAMP and Cadherin 1. Thus, DAP12 is involved in programming of macrophages through the regulation of gene and protein expression to induce a fusion-competent state.

Abstract
The importance of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-coupled receptors in modulating signalling pathways downstream of other types of receptor is well established, but the mechanisms underlying this modulation are not known. Recent data suggest that calcium-dependent signalling downstream of ITAM-coupled receptors regulates the amplitude and functional outcomes of cytokine and TLR signalling. In this Opinion article, I describe a model whereby the intensity of ITAM-dependent signalling and the balance of calcium signals relative to other ITAM-mediated signalling pathways determines whether cellular responses to cytokines and TLR ligands are increased or inhibited. This model describes mechanisms that explain how ITAM-coupled receptors regulate heterologous signalling pathways.

Abstract
Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM) proteins play important roles in innate and adaptive immunity. Since the discovery of TREM-1 and TREM-2 in 2000, the field has exploded over the past 8 years and currently TREM-1 is thought of as an amplifier of the immune response, while TREM-2 is believed to be a negative regulator. Here, we discuss the current state of the literature on TREMs, with a focus on TREM-1 and TREM-2 and their expression, signaling in mononuclear phagocytes and roles in innate immunity and bacterial infection.

Abstract
Inhibitory signaling is an emerging function of ITAM-bearing immunoreceptors in the maintenance of homeostasis. Monovalent targeting of the IgA Fc receptor (FcalphaRI or CD89) by anti-FcalphaRI Fab triggers potent inhibitory ITAM (ITAM(i)) signaling through the associated FcRgamma chain (FcalphaRI-FcRgamma ITAM(i)) that prevents IgG phagocytosis and IgE-mediated asthma. It is not known whether FcalphaRI-FcRgamma ITAM(i) signaling controls receptors that do not function through an ITAM and whether this inhibition requires Src homology protein 1 phosphatase. We show in this study that FcalphaRI-Fcgamma ITAM(i) signals depend on Src homology protein 1 phosphatase to target multiple non-ITAM-bearing receptors such as chemotactic receptors, cytokine receptors, and TLRs. We found that anti-FcalphaRI Fab treatment in vivo reduced kidney inflammation in models of immune-mediated glomerulonephritis and nonimmune obstructive nephropathy by a mechanism that involved decreased inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrosis development. This treatment also prevented ex vivo LPS activation of monocytes from patients with lupus nephritis or vasculitis, as well as receptor activation through serum IgA complexes from IgA nephropathy patients. These findings point to a crucial role of FcalphaRI-FcRgamma ITAM(i) signaling in the control of multiple heterologous or autologous inflammatory responses. They also identify anti-FcalphaRI Fab as a new potential therapeutic tool for preventing progression of renal inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Macrophage recognition of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium leads to a cascade of signaling events, including the activation of Src family and Syk kinases and the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are critical for host innate defense during early stages of bacterial infection. ROS production depends on the NADPH oxidase, but little is known about the innate immune receptors and proximal adapters that regulate Salmonella-induced ROS. Herein, we demonstrate that serovar Typhimurium induces ROS through a pathway that requires both triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) and DAP12. This pathway is highly analogous to the pathways utilized by Fc receptors and integrins to regulate ROS production. Oral infection of mice with serovar Typhimurium demonstrates that the DAP12-dependent pathway regulates cecal colonization during early stages of Salmonella infection. Thus, DAP12 is an important regulator of Salmonella-induced ROS production in macrophages, and TREM2 is essential for linking DAP12 to the innate response to serovar Typhimurium.

Abstract
Osteopenia and periarticular bony erosion are consequences of chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease due to an imbalance of osteoclast activity relative to new bone formation. Osteoclasts, which are specialized as the only bone resorbing cell type, are differentiated from hematopoietic myeloid precursor cells. Inflammatory signals mediated by multiple types of immune cells and cytokines have significant influence over osteoclast differentiation and function through direct effects on osteoclast precursors and indirect effects via osteoblasts and other cells in the bony microenvironment including synovial cells, stromal cells, osteocytes and chondrocytes. Recent studies have demonstrated that osteoclasts themselves express a number of immune receptors and are regulated similarly to macrophages and dendritic cells, closely related cells in the innate immune system. Though we are only beginning to understand the roles of innate immune receptors in osteoclasts, some of these receptors have been shown to be critical regulators of differentiation and function of osteoclasts. Osteoclasts likely function as the innate immune cells of the bone, thus are highly regulated to appropriately respond to stress and inflammatory changes in their microenvironment.

Abstract
The inhibitory effect of DAP12 on macrophages has been revealed by examining myeloid cells from DAP12-deficient mice. In this report, we demonstrate that both DAP12 and the FcepsilonRIgamma-chain (FcRgamma) are required for negative regulation of TLR responses in bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DC). Loss of both DAP12 and FcRgamma enhanced the pro-inflammatory cytokine production and maturation of DC after TLR stimulation, resulting in a greater percentage of DC that produced IL-12 p40, TNF, and IL-6, and expressed high levels of MHC class II, CD80, and CD86. Whereas DC lacking only DAP12 showed some increased TLR responses, those lacking only FcRgamma had a greater enhancement of maturation and cytokine production, though to a lesser extent than DC lacking both DAP12 and FcRgamma. Additionally, antigen-specific T cell proliferation was enhanced by DAP12(-/-)FcRgamma(-/-) DC relative to wild-type DC after maturation. Similar to DAP12(-/-)FcRgamma(-/-) DC, Syk-deficient DC also had increased inflammatory cytokine production, maturation, and antigen presentation. These results confirm the inhibitory effect of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) signaling in myeloid cells and show that DC and macrophages differ in their dependence on the ITAM-containing adapters DAP12 and FcRgamma for negative regulation of TLR signaling.

Abstract
We examined whether Siglec-9 modulates cytokine production in the macrophage cell line RAW264. Cells expressing Siglec-9 produced low levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha upon stimulation with lipopolysaccharide, peptidoglycan, unmethylated CpG DNA, and double-stranded RNA. On the other hand, interleukin (IL)-10 production was strongly enhanced in Siglec-9-expressing cells. Similar activities were also exhibited by Siglec-5. However, the up-regulation of IL-10 as well as the down-regulation of TNF-alpha was abrogated when two tyrosine residues in the cytoplasmic tail of Siglec-9 were mutated to phenylalanine. A membrane proximal ITIM mutant of Siglec-9 did not enhance IL-10 production but partly inhibited TNF-alpha production, indicating diverse regulation mechanisms of TNF-alpha and IL-10. Siglec-9 also enhanced the production of IL-10 in the human macrophage cell line THP-1. These results demonstrate that Siglec-9 enhances the production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 in macrophages.

Abstract
Type I interferons (IFNs) derived from plasmacytoid dendritic cells (PDCs) are critical for antiviral responses; however, the mechanisms underlying their production remain unclear. We have identified a receptor, PDC-TREM, which is associated with Plexin-A1 (PlxnA1) on the PDC cell surface and is preferentially expressed after TLR-stimulation. Limited TLR signals induced PDC-TREM expression but failed to induce IFN-alpha production. However, when coupled with Sema6D, a ligand for Plexin-A1, limited TLR-stimulation resulted in PDC-TREM-mediated DAP12-dependent phosphorylation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and extracellular regulated kinase (Erk) 1/2 at 6-9 h, and IFN-alpha was produced. Inhibition of PDC-TREM expression by pdctrem-shRNA, blocking of PDC-TREM-binding with PlxnA1 by PDC-TREM mAb, and DAP12 deficiency all resulted in greatly reduced PDC-TREM-dependent activation of signaling molecules and IFN-alpha production. Thus, PDC-TREM is responsible for IFN-alpha production, whereas TLR signals are essential for PDC-TREM expression.

Abstract
We have analyzed leukocyte mono-Ig-like receptor 5 (LMIR5) as an activating receptor among paired LMIRs. Mouse LMIR5 (mLMIR5) is expressed in myeloid cells such as mast cells, granulocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Cross-linking of transduced mLMIR5 in bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMCs) caused activation events, including cytokine production, cell survival, degranulation, and adhesion to the extracellular matrix. mLMIR5 associated with DAP12 and to a lesser extent with DAP10, and mLMIR5-mediated functions of BMMCs were strongly inhibited by DAP12 deficiency. Importantly, cross-linking of endogenous mLMIR5 induced Syk-dependent activation of fetal liver-derived mast cells. Unlike mLMIR5, cross-linking of human LMIR5 (hLMIR5) induced cytokine production of BMMCs even in the absence of both DAP12 and DAP10, suggesting the existence of unidentified adaptors. Interestingly, hLMIR5 possessed a tyrosine residue (Y188) in the cytoplasmic region. Signaling via Y188 phosphorylation played a predominant role in hLMIR5-mediated cytokine production in DAP12-deficient, but not wild-type BMMCs. In addition, experiments using DAP10/DAP12 double-deficient BMMCs suggested the existence of Y188 phoshorylation-dependent and -independent signals from unidentified adaptors. Collectively, although both mouse and human LMIR5 play activatory roles in innate immunity cells, the functions of LMIR5 were differentially regulated in mouse versus human cells.

Abstract
DNAX activation protein of 12kDa (DAP12) is an immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-bearing adapter, which couples to multiple receptors expressed on natural killer (NK) cells, monocytes, and neutrophils. Initially, DAP12-mediated signaling was mainly investigated downstream of receptors expressed on NK cells. In myeloid cells, one of the receptors associating with DAP12 is the triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM)-1. Since the real nature of TREM-1L(s) is still illusive, TREM-1 biology was so far only studied using agonistic monoclonal antibodies for receptor ligation. Triggering via TREM-1 results in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and leads to rapid degranulation of neutrophilic granules, and phagocytosis. Furthermore, application of a TREM-1/Ig fusion protein in an animal model of experimentally induced sepsis increases survival. It is obvious that targeting components of the TREM-1/DAP12 pathway could be a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. Therefore, it is of great importance to get further insight into the signaling cascade downstream of TREM-1. This review summarizes the current understanding of the TREM-1/DAP12 pathway in monocytes and neutrophils.

Abstract
Immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM)-coupled receptors modulate the amplitude and nature of macrophage responses to Toll-like receptor and cytokine receptor stimulation. However, the molecular mechanisms enabling this receptor crosstalk are not known. Here we investigated the function of the calcium-dependent kinases CaMK and Pyk2 'downstream' of ITAM-associated receptors in the regulation of cytokine-induced activation of Jak kinases and STAT transcription factors. CaMK and Pyk2 relayed signals from integrins and the ITAM-containing adaptor DAP12 to augment interleukin 10- and interferon-alpha-induced Jak activation and STAT1-dependent gene expression. CaMK inhibition suppressed STAT1-mediated interferon-alpha signaling in a mouse model of systemic lupus erythematosus. Our results associate Pyk2 and Jak kinases with the linkage of signals emanating from cytokine and heterologous ITAM-dependent receptors.

Abstract
Bone resorption by osteoclasts is necessary to maintain bone homeostasis. Osteoclast differentiation from hematopoietic progenitors and their activation depend on M-CSF and RANKL, but also requires co-stimulatory signals acting through receptors associated with DAP12 and FcRgamma adaptors. Dap12 mutant mice (KDelta75) are osteopetrotic due to inactive osteoclasts but, surprisingly, these mice are more sensitive than WT mice to bone loss following an ovariectomy. Because estrogen withdrawal is known to disturb bone mass, at least in part, through lymphocyte interaction, we looked at the role of mature lymphocytes on osteoclastogenesis and bone mass in the absence of functional DAP12. Lymphocytes were found to stimulate an early osteoclast differentiation response from Dap12-deficient progenitors in vitro. In vivo, Rag1-/- mice lacking mature lymphocytes did not exhibit any bone phenotype, but lost their bone mass after ovariectomy like KDelta75 mice. KDelta75;Rag1-/- double mutant female mice exhibited a more severe osteopetrosis than Dap12-deficient animals but lost their bone mass after ovariectomy, like single mutants. These results suggest that both DAP12 and mature lymphocytes act synergistically to maintain bone mass under physiological conditions, while playing similar but not synergistic co-stimulatory roles in protecting bone loss after gonadal failure. Thus, our data support a role for lymphocytes during osteoclast differentiation and suggest that they may function as accessory cells when regular osteoclast function is compromised.

Abstract
Immunoreceptor tyrosine-based activation motif (ITAM) signaling mediated by DAP12 or Fcepsilon receptor Igamma chain (FcRgamma) have been shown to be critical for osteoclast differentiation and maturation under normal physiological conditions. Their function in pathological conditions is unknown. We studied the role of ITAM signaling during rapid bone remodeling induced by acute estrogen-deficiency in wild-type (WT), DAP12-deficient (DAP12-/-), FcRgamma-deficient (FcRgamma-/-) and double-deficient (DAP12-/-FcRgamma-/-) mice. Six weeks after ovariectomy (OVX), DAP12-/-FcRgamma-/- mice showed resistance to lumbar vertebral body (LVB) trabecular bone loss, while WT, DAP12-/- and FcRgamma-/- mice had significant LVB bone loss. In contrast, all ITAM adapter-deficient mice responded to OVX with bone loss in both femur and tibia of approximately 40%, relative to basal bone volumes. Only WT mice developed significant cortical bone loss after OVX. In vitro studies showed microenvironmental changes induced by OVX are indispensable for enhanced osteoclast formation and function. Cytokine changes, including TGFbeta and TNFalpha, were able to induce osteoclastogenesis independent of RANKL in BMMs from WT but not DAP12-/- and DAP12-/-FcRgamma-/- mice. FSH stimulated RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation from BMMs in WT, but not DAP12-/- and DAP12-/-FcRgamma-/- mice. Our study demonstrates that although ITAM adapter signaling is critical for normal bone remodeling, estrogen-deficiency induces an ITAM adapter-independent bypass mechanism allowing for enhanced osteoclastogenesis and activation in specific bony microenvironments.

Abstract
Macrophage phenotype and activation are regulated by cytokines that use the Jak-STAT signaling pathway, microbial recognition receptors that include TLRs, and immunoreceptors that signal via ITAM motifs. The amplitude and qualitative nature of macrophage activation are determined by crosstalk among these signaling pathways. Basal ITAM signaling restrains macrophage responses to TLRs and other activating ligands, whereas strong ITAM signals synergize with the same ligands to activate cells strongly. Similarly, basal ITAM signaling augments IFN signaling and function of receptor activator of NF-kappaB, but extensive ITAM activation inhibits Jak-STAT signaling. Thus, intensity and duration of ITAM signaling determine whether ITAM-coupled receptors augment or attenuate TLR and Jak-STAT responses. IFN-gamma synergizes with TLRs in part by suppressing TLR-induced feedback inhibition, mediated by IL-10 and Stat3, by a mechanism that depends on glycogen synthase kinase (GSK)3 regulation of AP-1 and CREB. IFN-gamma suppresses TLR2 and TLR4 induction/activation of AP-1 by overlapping mechanisms that include regulation of MAPKs, GSK3-dependent suppression of DNA binding, and decreased Fos and Jun protein expression and stability. IFN-gamma suppression of TLR-induced activation of AP-1 and downstream target genes challenges current concepts about the inflammatory role of AP-1 proteins in macrophage activation and is consistent with a role for AP-1 in the generation of noninflammatory osteoclasts. Jak-STAT, TLR, and ITAM pathways are basally active in macrophages and strongly induced during innate responses. Thus, signal transduction crosstalk is regulated in a dynamic manner, which differs under homeostatic and pathologic conditions, and dysregulation of signal transduction crosstalk may contribute to pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory diseases.
