Src homology 2 domain-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase substrate 1 (SHPS-1) is a member of the signal regulatory protein family in which the extracellular region interacts with its ligand, CD47. Recent studies have demonstrated that SHPS-1 plays an important role in cell migration and cell adhesion. We demonstrate in this study, using immunohistochemical and flow cytometric analyses, that murine Langerhans cells (LCs) express SHPS-1. Treatment of mice ears with 2,4-dinitro-1-fluorobenzene significantly reduced the number of epidermal LCs, and that reduction could be reversed by pretreatment with mAb to SHPS-1 or the CD47-Fc fusion protein. Treatment with the SHPS-1 mAb in vivo reduced the number of FITC-bearing cells in the lesional lymph nodes after the application of FITC to the skin. The SHPS-1 mAb inhibited the in vivo TNF-α-induced migration of LCs. The emigration of dendritic cells expressing I-Ab+ from skin explants to the medium was also reduced by the SHPS-1 mAb. We further demonstrate that the chemotaxis of a murine dendritic cell line, XS52, by macrophage inflammatory protein-3β was significantly inhibited by treatment with the SHPS-1 mAb or CD47-Fc recombinant protein. Finally, we show that migration of LCs was attenuated in mutant mice that lack the intracellular domain of SHPS-1. These observations show that the ligation of SHPS-1 with the SHPS-1 mAb or with CD47-Fc abrogates the migration of LCs in vivo and in vitro, which suggests that the SHPS-1-CD47 interaction may negatively regulate LC migration.
