Abstract
CD23, the low-affinity immunoglobulin E receptor, is an important modulator of the allergic response and of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. The proteolytic release of CD23 from cells is considered a key event in the allergic response. Here we used loss-of-function and gain-of-function experiments with cells lacking or overexpressing candidate CD23-releasing enzymes (ADAM8, ADAM9, ADAM10, ADAM12, ADAM15, ADAM17, ADAM19 and ADAM33), ADAM-knockout mice and a selective inhibitor to identify ADAM10 as the main CD23-releasing enzyme in vivo. Our findings provide a likely target for the treatment of allergic reactions and set the stage for further studies of the involvement of ADAM10 in CD23-dependent pathologies.
