Abstract The immune system has evolved mechanisms to recognize cell injury and in response stimulate sterile inflammation. This response contributes in important ways to both heath and disease. In this process, dying cells release Damage Associated Cell Patterns (DAMPs) that are detected by receptors on immune cells, which then trigger sterile inflammation. Histones are DAMPs that are major drivers of sterile inflammation and there is a recent growing literature implicating the release of and response to histones in the morbidity and mortality from tissue injury. Given the role of these DAMPs in the pathogenesis of disease, it is important to understand the receptors that engage these ligands and mediate their effects. Before our work, such receptors were unknown. We discovered the first cellular receptor for histones, which was the C-type lectin receptor (CLR/Clec) Clec2d. We showed that Clec2d plays an important role in innate immune responses to histones and the pathogenesis of disease in vivo. Our studies also revealed that Clec2d is not the whole story and that there must be another histone receptor(s) in mice that contributes to responses and disease. Moreover, human innate immune cells are similarly stimulated by histones, however when we went to translate our findings to humans, we found that the human homolog of Clec2d does not recognize histones. Therefore, there are as yet to be identified human histone receptors. Importantly, we have now discovered such novel Clec-histone receptors (CHRs) in both mice and humans and these discoveries form the basis for this grant application. We have two Aims: Aim 1 will elucidate the role of CHRs in innate immune responses to histones in vivo. We will define what innate immune cells use CHRs to sense histones in vivo, the nature of the subsequent responses, and their role in the sterile inflammatory response and pathogenic sequelae of tissue injury in vivo. The importance of this aim is that it will provide insight into disease pathogenesis and potentially identify new molecular targets for treating these conditions; and, Aim 2 will define the specificity, consequences and underlying mechanisms of histone stimulation of novel CHRs. The importance of this aim is that it will define the underlying mechanisms by which histones and their receptors trigger and regulate responses, which ultimately drive host defense and pathobiology.

摘要 免疫系统已经进化出识别细胞损伤的机制， 炎症这种反应对健康和疾病都有重要的影响。在这个过程中，垂死的细胞 释放由免疫细胞上的受体检测到的损伤相关细胞模式（DAMP），然后 引发无菌性炎症组蛋白是DAMP，是无菌炎症的主要驱动因素， 最近越来越多的文献表明，组蛋白的释放和对组蛋白的反应与糖尿病的发病率和死亡率有关， 组织损伤鉴于这些DAMP在疾病发病机制中的作用，重要的是要了解这些DAMP在疾病发病机制中的作用。 与这些配体结合并介导其作用的受体。在我们的工作之前，这种受体是未知的。 我们发现了组蛋白的第一个细胞受体，这是C型凝集素受体（C-type lectin receptor，CLEC）Clec 2d。 我们发现Clec 2d在对组蛋白的天然免疫应答和发病机制中起重要作用。 体内疾病。我们的研究还表明，Clec 2d并不是故事的全部，必须有另一个 组蛋白受体在小鼠中有助于反应和疾病。此外，人类先天免疫细胞 同样受到组蛋白的刺激，然而当我们把我们的发现应用到人类身上时，我们发现， Clec 2d的人类同源物不识别组蛋白。因此，还有尚未确定身份的人类 组蛋白受体重要的是，我们现在已经在两种小鼠中发现了这种新的Clec-组蛋白受体（CHRs）， 而人类和这些发现构成了这项资助申请的基础。我们有两个目标：目标1 阐明CHR在体内对组蛋白的先天免疫应答中的作用。我们将定义什么是先天免疫 细胞使用CHR在体内感知组蛋白，随后反应的性质，以及它们在不育中的作用。 炎症反应和体内组织损伤的致病性后遗症。这一目标的重要性在于， 提供对疾病发病机制的深入了解，并可能确定治疗这些疾病的新分子靶点。 条件;和，目标2将定义组蛋白的特异性，后果和潜在机制 刺激新的CHRs。这一目标的重要性在于，它将确定基本机制， 组蛋白及其受体触发和调节反应，最终驱动宿主防御， 病理生物学
