Soluble CD26/dipeptidyl peptidase IV enhances transendothelial migration via its interaction with mannose 6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor II receptor

Cell Immunol. 2002 Jan;215(1):106-10. doi: 10.1016/s0008-8749(02)00010-2.

Abstract

CD26 is a T cell surface molecule with dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) enzyme activity in its extracellular region. In addition to its membrane form, CD26 exists in plasma as a soluble form (sCD26), which is the extracellular domain of the molecule thought to be cleaved from the cell surface. In this paper, we demonstrate that sCD26 mediates enhanced transendothelial T cell migration, an effect that requires its intrinsic DPPIV enzyme activity. We also show that sCD26 directly targets endothelial cells and that mannose 6-phosphate/insulin-like growth factor II receptor (M6P/IGFIIR) on the endothelial cell surface acts as a receptor for sCD26. Our findings therefore suggest that sCD26 influences T cell migration through its interaction with M6P/IGFIIR.
