    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Article Role of ADAM10 and ADAM17 in Regulating CD137 Function Jana Seidel 1, Sinje Leitzke 1, Björn Ahrens 1, Maria Sperrhacke 1, Sucharit Bhakdi 2 and Karina Reiss 1,* 1 Department of Dermatology, University of Kiel, 24105 Kiel, Germany; [email protected] (J.S.); [email protected] (S.L.); [email protected] (B.A.); [email protected] (M.S.) 2 Independent Researcher, 24105 Kiel, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Human CD137 (4-1BB), a member of the TNF receptor family, and its ligand CD137L (4-1BBL), are expressed on immune cells and tumor cells. CD137/CD137L interaction mediates bidirectional cellular responses of potential relevance in inflammatory diseases, autoimmunity and oncology. A soluble form of CD137 exists, elevated levels of which have been reported in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and various malignancies. Soluble CD137 (sCD137) is considered to represent a splice variant of CD137. In this report, however, evidence is presented that A Disintegrin and Metalloproteinase (ADAM)10 and potentially also ADAM17 are centrally involved in its generation. Release of sCD137 by transfected cell lines and primary T cells was uniformly inhibitable by ADAM10 inhibition. The shedding function of ADAM10 can be blocked through inhibition of its interaction with surface exposed phosphatidylserine (PS), and this effectively inhibited sCD137 generation. The phospholipid scramblase Anoctamin-6 (ANO6) traffics PS to the outer membrane and thus modifies ADAM10 function. Overexpression of ANO6 increased stimulated shedding, and hyperactive ANO6 led to maximal constitutive shedding of CD137.

Interestingly, immunohistochemical staining revealed that CD30+ anaplastic tumor cells were surrounded by CD163+ macrophages and CCL18 producing cells, both of which were reported to correlate with the prognosis of CTCL. Our present study sheds light on the possible pathogenesis of LYP and the possibility of a 308-nm Excimer light phototherapy for LYP.
