MSR1 plays a crucial role in the structure-dependent uptake of polypodna, discriminating between simple and nanostructured DNAs by cross-linking with cell surface proteins to facilitate efficient uptake by immune cells.
Despite the efficient uptake of polypod-like nanostructured DNA, or polypodna, by macrophage-like RAW264.7 and other immune cells, the detailed mechanism has not been fully elucidated. Our previous study using HEK-Blue hTLR9 cells showed that transfection of macrophage scavenger receptor 1 (MSR1) increased the uptake of tetrapod-like structured DNA. Here, we investigated the involvement of MSR1 in the structure-dependent uptake of polypodna. Transfection of MSR1 to HEK-Blue hTLR9 cells pod number-dependently increased the uptake of polypodna, and its knockout in RAW264.7 cells reduced the uptake and subsequent cytokine release. To examine the binding of DNA with MSR1, biotinylated DNA added to RAW264.7 cells was cross-linked with cell surface proteins. Then, MSR1 cross-linked with polypodna, but not with single-stranded DNA. Similar results were obtained with murine primary immune cells. Taken together, MSR1 discriminates between simple and nanostructured DNAs and plays a dominant role in the efficient uptake of polypodna by immune cells. (c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All reserved.
