N2 - Signal inhibitory receptor on leukocytes-1 (SIRL-1) is an immune inhibitory receptor expressed on human myeloid cells. We previously showed that dendritic cell (DC)-driven Th17 cell differentiation of human naive CD4+ T cells requires presence of neutrophils, which is inhibited by SIRL-1 ligation. VSTM1-v2 is a soluble isoform of SIRL-1, which was previously proposed to function as a Th17 polarizing cytokine. Here, we investigated the effect of VSTM1-v2 on DC-driven Th17 cell development. Neutrophils induced DC-driven Th17 cell differentiation, which was not enhanced by VSTM1-v2. Similarly, we found no effect of VSTM1-v2 on cytokine-driven Th17 cell development. Thus, our results do not support a role for VSTM1-v2 in Th17 cell differentiation.
