Abstract

Immune cells express several adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (aGPCRs), including the ADGRE subfamily members EMR1 (F4/80, ADGRE1), EMR2 (ADGRE2), EMR3 (ADGRE3), EMR4 (FIRE, ADGRE4), and CD97 (ADGRE5), the ADGRB subfamily member BAI1 (ADGRB1), and the ADGRG subfamily members GPR56 (ADGRG1), GPR97 (Pb99, ADGRG3), and GPR114 (ADGRG5). Expression of these molecules in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, monocytes/macrophages (Mφs), dendritic cells, granulocytes, and lymphocytes depends on lineage diversification and maturation, making them suitable markers for individual leukocyte subsets (e.g., F4/80 on mouse Mφs). Recent studies revealed intriguing activities of aGPCRs in tolerance induction (EMR1), granulopoiesis (CD97), engulfment of apoptotic cells and bacteria (BAI1), hematopoietic stem cell formation (GPR56), and control of cytotoxicity (GPR56). Here, we review these findings and discuss their biological and translational implications.
