Microarray analysis revealed downregulation of several proinflammatory genes in the stabilin-1high monocytes when compared with stabilin-1low monocytes. When cocultured with stabilin-1high monocytes, IFN-g synthesis by T cells was diminished in Ag-recall assays. Knockdown of stabilin-1 in monocytes increased the synthesis of several proinflammatory molecules, including TNF-a, and supported high IFN-g and low IL-4 and IL-5 production by T cells in Ag-specific stimulation assays. Anti–stabilin-1 Ab treatment also led to increased IFN-g synthesis in the recall assays. In clinical settings, the expression of stabilin-1 was diminished on blood monocytes and tissue macrophages under proinflammatory conditions. These data define stabilin-1 as a new immunosuppressive molecule and suggest that stabilin-1high monocytes may dampen proinflammatory reactions in vivo. The Journal of Immunology, 2016, 196: 000–000.

Stabilin-1 is also lating WBCs, which can differentiate into mac- expressed in monocytes during specific disease conditions, like M rophages and dendritic cells after migration into hypercholesterolemia, but reported to be absent from normal different tissues (1). Monocytes play an important role in tissue monocytes (12). In macrophages, stabilin-1 acts as a scavenging homeostasis, wound healing, and host defense reactions against receptor during endocytosis of selected proteins such as oxidized microbes, other inflammatory stimuli, and tumor cells.

It has also been reported to be fied into three subsets, which also have different transcriptomes involved in bacterial binding (17), clearance of apoptotic cell (1–3).
