Siglecs are immunoglobulin lectin group proteins that recognize the sialic acid moiety. We previously reported that the expression of Siglec-9 on the macrophage cell line RAW264 markedly enhanced Toll-like receptor (TLR)-induced interleukin (IL)-10 production and inhibited the production of proinflammatory cytokines. In this study, we examined the lectin-dependent anti-inflammatory activities of Siglec-9. IL-10 production was modestly reduced by a mutation that disrupted the lectin activity of Siglec-9, while the reduction in tumor necrosis factor-α was not affected. Membrane fractionation experiments revealed that a part of Siglec-9 resided in the detergent-insoluble microdomain, the so-called lipid raft fraction. The amount of Siglec-9 in the lipid raft fraction rapidly increased following TLR2 stimulation by peptidoglycan and peaked after 3–10 min. This time course was similar to that of TLR2. The double tyrosine mutant in immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs moved to lipid rafts in a similar manner, while lectin-defective Siglec-9 was not detected in the lipid raft fraction. The production of IL-10 was partially reduced by cholesterol oxidase that disturbed lipid raft organization. Taken together, these results suggest that Siglecs exhibit lectin-dependent changes in cellular localization, which may be partly linked to its control mechanism that increases the production of IL-10.
