Abstract
CD83 is one of the most characteristic cell surface markers for fully matured dendritic cells (DCs). In their function as antigen presenting cells they induce T-cell mediated immune responses. In this review we provide an overview on well described and proposed functions of this molecule as well as on very recent insights and new hypothesis. Already the CD83 messenger RNA processing differs remarkably from the processing of other cellular mRNAs: instead of the usual TAP mRNA export pathway, the CD83 mRNA is exported by the specific CRM1-mediated pathway, utilized only by a minority of cellular mRNAs. On the protein level, two different isoforms of CD83 exist: a membrane-bound and a soluble form. The isoforms are generated by different subsets of cells, including DCs, T-cells and B-cells, and also differ in their biological function. While the membrane-bound CD83 is of immune stimulatory capacity, activates T-cells and is important for the generation of thymocytes, the soluble CD83 has the opposite effect and has an immune inhibitory capacity. Due to its immune inhibitory function, CD83 has great potential for treatment of autoimmune diseases, for organ transplantations, and for immunotherapy, just to name a few examples. Moreover, some viruses prevent recognition by the host’s immune system by specifically targeting CD83 surface expression.
