Gna12 has been identified as one of the reported inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) susceptibility genes in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, the function of GNA12 in intestinal homeostasis remains unknown. Here we report that GNA12, a G-protein α subunit, regulates C5a-induced migration in macrophages. Deficiency of GNA12 results in enhanced migration induced by C5a in macrophages. Mechanistically, GNA12 suppresses C5a-induced migration by downregulating the C5aR1-PLCβ2-PI3K-AKT-ERK1/2 signaling. Therefore, our study reveals that GNA12 is an anti-inflammatory factor, which might alleviate the development of inflammation by inhibiting the excessive chemotactic migration of macrophages.
