Abstract In this report we present data on the ability of the different Fc gamma R present on eosinophils to mediate killing of erythroid and tumor targets, and on a comparison of eosinophil and neutrophil Fc gamma R-mediated killing. Erythroid target killing was assessed using chicken erythrocytes (CE) and heteroantibodies composed of Fab fragments of anti-CE antibodies covalently coupled to Fab fragments of anti-Fc gamma R antibodies. Such anti-CE x anti-Fc gamma R reagents permit linkage of CE target cells with the FcR molecules on the eosinophil or neutrophil effector cells. Tumor target killing was assessed using hybridoma cell lines (HC) bearing anti-Fc gamma R antibodies on their cell surface. Freshly isolated eosinophils and neutrophils constitutively express similar amounts of the low affinity Fc gamma R, Fc gamma RII on their cell surface, but neither cell type expresses the high affinity Fc gamma R, Fc gamma RI. In contrast, eosinophils have only about 5% as much of the low affinity Fc gamma R found on human granulocytes and large granular lymphocytes (Fc gamma RIII) as neutrophils. Untreated, freshly prepared eosinophils or neutrophils did not lyse any of the anti-Fc gamma R bearing HC nor did they lyse CE in the presence of anti-Fc gamma R containing heteroantibodies. Upon treatment with granulocyte monocyte-CSF (GM-CSF), both cell types lysed HC-bearing antibody to Fc gamma RII (HC IV.3A) and CE in the presence of anti-CE x anti-Fc gamma RII heteroantibodies. However, neither cell type lysed HC-bearing antibody to Fc gamma RI or Fc gamma RIII, or CE in the presence of anti-CE x anti-Fc gamma RI HA. Treatment with GM-CSF did not significantly alter the number of Fc gamma R on either cell type. Treatment of neutrophils with IFN-gamma for 18 h induced the expression of Fc gamma RI on these cells and their ability to lyse anti-Fc gamma RI- or Fc gamma RII-bearing HC and CE through Fc gamma RI, Fc gamma RII, and Fc gamma RIII. In contrast, 6-h treatment of eosinophils or neutrophils with IFN-gamma induced neither Fc gamma RI expression on either cell type nor killing of HC or CE through Fc gamma R. In summary, incubation with GM-CSF, induced eosinophils and neutrophils to kill anti-Fc gamma RII-bearing HC and to lyse CE through Fc gamma RII. This augmented killing was not associated with enhanced expression of Fc gamma RII.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Abstract Monocytes can express three classes of FcR for IgG: Fc gamma RI, Fc gamma RII, and Fc gamma RIII (CD64, CD32, and CD16, respectively) of which the Fc gamma RIII is expressed after prolonged culture. Fc gamma R expression is regulated by IFN-gamma. Because IFN-gamma and IL-4 have antagonistic effects on the expression of the FcR for IgE on human monocytes, we studied the effect of IL-4 on Fc gamma R expression and function. We show that IL-4 down-regulates Fc gamma RI, Fc gamma RII, and Fc gamma RIII expression of cultured monocytes and inhibits IFN-gamma enhanced Fc gamma RI expression. Exposure of monocytes to IL-4 for 40 h resulted in a dose-dependent decrease of the expression of all three Fc gamma R that persisted throughout the whole culture period (7 days). Anti-IL-4 antibodies completely reversed the IL-4 effect. In addition the impaired Fc gamma R expression correlated directly with reduced Fc gamma R-mediated function because monocytes cultured in the presence of IL-4 have a reduced capacity to lyse human E opsonized with human IgG anti-D or mouse antiglycophorin A antibodies. These observations, together with the previous finding that IL-4 induces Fc epsilon RIIb expression on monocytes, indicate that IL-4 and IFN-gamma may control the Fc gamma R-mediated immune response by differentially regulating Fc gamma R expression.

Little is known about the structure of the cell surface receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin G (Fc gamma R) on tissue macrophages. Studies on leukocytes indicate the existence of three classes of Fc gamma R, denoted I, II, and III. The purpose of this study was to structurally characterize Fc gamma R on alveolar macrophages obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage, comparing them with Fc gamma R of monocytes, neutrophils, and U937 cells. Flow-cytometric evaluation, utilizing anti-Fc gamma R class-specific monoclonal antibodies, showed that alveolar macrophages expressed three Fc gamma R classes. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis analysis of the immunopurified Fc gamma R molecules revealed the following apparent molecular mass for each Fc gamma R class: Fc gamma RI, 70 kDa; Fc gamma RII, 44 kDa; and Fc gamma RIII, 57-65 kDa. RNA blot analysis demonstrated a 1.7-kb transcript for Fc gamma RI, 2.5 and 1.6 kb transcripts for Fc gamma RII, and a 2.2 kb mRNA for Fc gamma RIII. Fc gamma RII displayed the high-responder/low-responder polymorphism. Fc gamma RIII did not express the neutrophil antigen-type specific structural polymorphism of the deglycosylated Fc gamma R molecule and appeared to be a transmembrane molecule.

We demonstrate, using a recombinant truncated Fc gamma RII molecule as a probe, the presence of anti-Fc gamma R antibodies in several strains of autoimmune mice. Affinity chromatography on a truncated Fc gamma R column of pooled sera from aged NZB females resulted in isolation of 16 micrograms of IgM per ml of serum, approximately 2% of the total IgM; no anti-Fc gamma R IgM was found in sera from C58/J mice. Mice with high titers of anti-Fc gamma R IgM also had anti-Fc gamma R IgG. Affinity-purified anti-Fc gamma R IgG bound to Fc gamma R-bearing cells. A good correlation was found between the presence of anti-Fc gamma R Ig and impaired phagocytosis of immune complexes in autoimmune strains such as NZB or NZB/NZW F1. Sera with high titers of anti-Fc gamma R Ig from NZB and motheaten mice inhibited the binding of soluble immune complexes. Furthermore, BXSB, a lupus-prone mouse strain that does not produce anti-Fc gamma R Ig, shows normal macrophage binding and phagocytosis of immune complexes. A set of four IgM mAbs that bind to Fc gamma R was identified. These antibodies were polyspecific; some were directed against DNA, and others recognized a wide variety of antigens including histones, thyroglobulin, and transferrin, but all anti-Fc gamma R IgM antibodies effectively inhibited the binding of IgG1 anti-DNP/DNP20BSA complexes to J774 macrophages. The role of anti-Fc gamma R Ig in autoimmunity remains to be established. It may act to crosslink and activate Fc gamma Rs on neutrophils, macrophages, NK, and mesangial cells, or it may desensitize Fc gamma R function of Fc gamma R-bearing cells.

Abstract We investigated the possibility that IgA-binding chains of Fc alpha R on monocytic cells are physically associated with gamma 2 subunits of Fc epsilon RI (Fc epsilon RI gamma 2 or gamma 2). Fc alpha R was precipitated from lysates of IFN gamma-treated U937 cells, subclone 10.6, and probed by immunoblotting with Ab against human gamma 2. Fc alpha R was precipitated through anti-Fc alpha R mAbs A59 or A62, through A62 from lysates that had been exhaustively precleared of high affinity IgG-Fc receptors (Fc gamma RI) and of low affinity Fc gamma RII, and through anti-Fc alpha R mAb A77 from Fc gamma RI-precleared lysates of untreated 10.6 cells. precipitation was also performed through F(ab')2 A77 and through the native ligand of the receptor, hlgA. In all cases, Fc alpha R precipitates contained co-isolated 22-kDa gamma 2 (unreduced). The Fc alpha R alpha-chain/gamma 2 complex did not readily dissociate in 1% Nonidet P-40 as did Fc gamma RI alpha-chain/gamma 2, suggesting a novel aspect to the Fc alpha R subunit interaction. Specific Fc alpha R aggregation on cells triggered a robust respiratory burst and the tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins. Among them was phospho-gamma 2, which migrated as a 24- to 28-kDa gamma 2 phosphoprotein on gels and was detected as a 28-kDa phosphoprotein by anti-phosphotyrosine immunoblot. Aggregated Fc alpha Rs that were precipitated from Fc alpha R-triggered cells also contained a phosphoprotein of the same mobility and immunoreactivity, as did aggregated Fc gamma RI from which the 28-kDa phosphoprotein could be more readily eluted and identified (as phospho-gamma 2). We concluded that myelocytic Fc alpha Rs are multichain complexes containing gamma 2 subunits that are tyrosine phosphorylated upon Fc alpha R aggregation. As IgA is the predominant Ig on mucosal surfaces, gamma-subunits may play an important role in mucosal immunity involving leukocytic Fc alpha R.

Abstract Monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) have been prepared recently that recognize the three cell-surface receptors for the Fc portion of immunoglobulin (Ig), termed Fc gamma RI (MoAb 32.2), Fc gamma R II (MoAb IV-3), and Fc gamma R III (MoAb 3G8) that are expressed on selected subsets of non-T lymphocyte peripheral blood leukocytes. In the blood, Fc gamma R I is expressed exclusively on monocytes and macrophages, Fc gamma R II on granulocytes, mononuclear phagocytes, platelets, and B cells, and Fc gamma R III on granulocytes and natural killer (NK) cells. We have examined the expression of these molecules on normal bone marrow (BM) cells and on leukemia cells from the blood and/or BM in order to determine their normal ontogeny as well as their distribution on leukemic cells. BM was obtained from six normal volunteers and from 170 patients with newly diagnosed acute leukemia. Normal BM cells were found to express Fc gamma R I, II, and III with the following percentages: 40%, 58%, and 56%, respectively. Cell sorting revealed that both Fc gamma R I and Fc gamma R II were detectable on all subclasses of myeloid precursors as early as myeloblasts. Cell sorting experiments revealed that 66% of the granulocyte-monocyte colony-forming cells (CFU-GM) and 50% of erythroid burst-forming units (BFU-E) were Fc gamma R II positive with only 20% and 28%, respectively, of CFU-GM and BFU-E were Fc gamma R I positive. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells expressed the three receptors with the following frequency (n = 146): Fc gamma R I, 58%; Fc gamma R II, 67%; and Fc gamma R III, 26% of patients. Despite the fact that Fc gamma R I is only expressed on monocytes among blood cells, AML cells without monocytoid differentiation (French-American-British [FAB]M1, M2, M3, M6) were sometimes positive for this receptor. However, Fc gamma R I was highly correlated with FAB M4 and M5 morphology (P less than .001). Fc gamma R II was also correlated with FAB M4 and M5 morphology (P = .003). Cells from 11 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia were negative for Fc gamma R I, but six cases were positive for Fc gamma R II and III (not the same patients). These studies demonstrate that Ig Fc gamma R are acquired during normal differentiation in the BM at or before the level of colony-forming units. In addition, we show that acute leukemia cells commonly express Fc gamma R.

Abstract In the present report, we show that the Fc gamma receptor (Fc gamma R) becomes expressed on mature TCR V gamma 3 thymocytes, but it is absent on immature TCR V gamma 3 cells. Both Fc gamma RIII are Fc gamma RIII are expressed. The in vivo expression of the Fc gamma R on mature TCR V gamma 3 thymocytes coincides with an activated phenotype of the cells. In vitro, anti-CD3 stimulation of Fc gamma R-negative, immature TCR V gamma 3 thymocytes results in the expression of the Fc gamma R. The Fc gamma R of short-term IL-2-cultured, mature TCR V gamma 3 thymocytes is functional in an Ab-mediated cytotoxicity assay. In addition, it is shown that cross-linking of the Fc gamma R induces an increase in cytoplasmic Ca2+. Collectively, our findings show that mature TCR V gamma 3 thymocytes express a functional Fc gamma R; evidence is presented that this could be a result of in vivo activation of these cells.

Abstract Receptors for the Fc region of IgG (Fc gamma R) on mononuclear phagocytes have been shown to play an important role in the removal of IgG-opsonized particles from the circulation. We found that all three types of Fc gamma R (CD64, CD32, and CD16) in cultured human monocytes are associated with the gamma-chain homodimer that is also present in the high affinity receptor for IgE. Immunoprecipitates of each of these Fc gamma R, prepared from 1% digitonin lysates of cultured human monocytes, incorporated phosphate into a gamma-chain homodimer when incubated with [gamma-32P]ATP. Fc gamma RII immunoprecipitates also incorporated phosphate into Fc gamma RII itself. When human alveolar macrophages were used, similar results were obtained. Although to a minor extent, each anti-Fc gamma R immunoprecipitate from freshly purified monocytes also coprecipitated gamma-chains. These Fc gamma R and gamma-chains did not constitute one large complex, because anti-Fc gamma RI or anti-Fc gamma RIII immunoprecipitates did not coprecipitate Fc gamma RII. In addition, F (ab')2 fragments of anti-Fc gamma R mAb bound to intact cells were recovered in the anti-gamma-chain immunoprecipitates but not in immunoprecipitates made with anti-Fc gamma RIII or anti-Fc gamma RII mAb. When recovery of radioactivity in anti-gamma-chain immunoprecipitates was compared with that in anti-mouse-Ig immunoprecipitates, approximately 25% of the Fc gamma RI and 20% of the Fc gamma RII expressed at the cell surface were associated with gamma-chains. The gamma-chains may play an important role in signal transduction via Fc gamma R in human macrophages.

Abstract Normal mouse peritoneal macrophages express Fc gamma 2aR, Fc gamma 1/2bR, and Fc epsilon R, whereas B lymphocytes in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN) bear Fc gamma 2bR, Fc gamma 1R, and Fc epsilon R. Rosette formation of Fc epsilon R+ macrophages and lymphocytes with IgE-coated ox erythrocytes was inhibited by rodent IgE but not by any other isotype of mouse immunoglobulins. In contrast, IgG1 rosettes and IgG2b rosettes of both macrophages and lymphocytes were inhibited not only by homologous isotype but also by IgE, suggesting that IgE has some affinity for Fc gamma 1/2bR on macrophages and for both Fc gamma 1R and Fc gamma 2bR on lymphocytes. Incubation of normal mouse macrophages with mouse IgE for 24 hr resulted in a twofold increase in the proportion of Fc epsilon R+ cells. Mouse IgE can induce Fc epsilon R on B cells as well. Incubation of MLN cells with mouse IgE for 2 to 4 hr, followed by culture of the cells in the absence of IgE, resulted in a 1.8- to 2.9-fold increase in Fc epsilon R+ cells. Determination of Fc gamma R+ cells in the same MLN cells revealed that induction of Fc epsilon R by IgE was accompanied by a substantial decrease in the expression of Fc gamma 1R and Fc gamma 2bR. Induction of Fc epsilon R by IgE on macrophages and lymphocytes requires protein synthesis. In MLN cells, cycloheximide inhibited not only the IgE-induced increase in Fc epsilon R+ cells but also the decrease in Fc gamma 1R+ cells and Fc gamma 2bR+ cells. It was also found that induction of Fc epsilon R by IgE on macrophages was completely inhibited if IgG1 or IgG2b was added to the cells together with IgE. In contrast, IgG2a did not affect the IgE-induced expression of Fc epsilon R on macrophages. In MLN cells, IgG2b but not IgG1 inhibited both IgE-induced increase in Fc epsilon R and decrease in Fc gamma 1R and Fc gamma 2bR. The results indicate that expression of various Fc receptors on lymphocytes is mutually regulated.

Abstract Three subtypes of murine low-affinity receptors for IgG (Fc gamma RII) have been identified. One is encoded by the alpha Fc gamma R gene, two are encoded by the beta Fc gamma R gene. In the present work, we examined whether DNA methylation might control expression of the alpha Fc gamma R gene. We found that, in DNA from a panel of Fc gamma R(+) and (-) cell lines, two MspI sites of the alpha Fc gamma R gene were selectively unmethylated only in the two cell lines containing alpha transcripts. These sites, separated by a distance of 1.2 kb, are located in the 5' region of the gene. All other MspI sites were methylated in all cell lines. Furthermore, 5-azacytidine induced the demethylation and the expression of the alpha Fc gamma R gene in the Fc gamma R(-) thymoma BW5147. Both alpha Fc gamma R gene transcripts and corresponding protein products became detectable in 5-azacytidine-treated cells. The alpha Fc gamma R gene was also demethylated and expressed in mouse spleen cells cultured with human rIL-2. We conclude that a correlation links the unmethylation and the expression of the alpha Fc gamma R gene in murine cell lines as well as in nontransformed lymphoid cells responding to a physiological stimulus.

Abstract Fc gamma R expressed by mouse mast cells were characterized as functional binding sites, as membrane proteins, and as products of the two genes known to encode murine Fc gamma RII. Peritoneal mast cells, bone marrow-derived mast cells (BMMC), and the mastocytoma cells P815 were found to bear trypsin-resistant, 2.4G2+, low-affinity receptors binding mouse monoclonal IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b, i.e., Fc gamma RII. BMMC and P815 Fc gamma RII appeared as heterogeneous membrane proteins that, when deglycosylated, had m.w. corresponding to those of the three known products of the alpha and beta Fc gamma R genes, and differed by their respective contents in BMMC and P815 cells. Heterogeneous Fc gamma R transcripts were also found in BMMC and in P815 RNA. P815 cells contained alpha, beta 1, and beta 2 Fc gamma R transcripts, whereas BMMC contained alpha and beta 1 Fc gamma R transcripts. These data disclose an unexpected molecular heterogeneity of murine mast cell Fc gamma R. Although they appear as a single population of receptors when viewed by external ligands, mast cell Fc gamma R comprise three Fc gamma RII subtypes, encoded by the three known transcripts of the alpha and beta Fc gamma R genes, and differing by their intracytoplasmic portion. The different distributions of Fc gamma RII transcripts and corresponding Fc gamma RII subtypes in different types of mast cells may be determinant for triggering the various biologic activities of these cells.

Abstract Antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity is initiated when low affinity Fc receptors (Fc gamma R type III/CD16) on NK cells bind to sensitized (i.e., antibody coated) target cells. Fc gamma R cross-linkage induces the activation of phospholipase C (PLC), which hydrolyses membrane phosphoinositides, generating inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate and sn-1,2-diacylglycerol as second messengers. However, the mechanism that couples Fc gamma R stimulation to PLC activation remains unknown. In this study, we investigated whether the Fc gamma R is coupled to PLC via a guanine nucleotide-binding (G) protein or an alternative pathway. Stimulation of electropermeabilized human NK cells with GTP gamma S induced inositol phosphate (IP) release, indicating the presence of a G protein-linked PLC activity in these cells. However, stimulation with both anti-Fc gamma R mAb and GTP gamma S provoked additive rather than synergistic increases in IP formation. Furthermore, exogenous GDP strongly inhibited GTP gamma S-stimulated IP release, but failed to inhibit the response to anti-Fc gamma R mAb stimulation. These results suggested GTP gamma S and anti-Fc gamma R mAb activated PLC through distinct regulatory mechanisms, and that Fc gamma R was not linked to PLC via a G protein. Hence, an alternative transduction mechanism for Fc gamma R-PLC coupling was considered. Antibody-mediated Fc gamma R cross-linkage was shown to rapidly stimulate tyrosine phosphorylation of multiple proteins in NK cells. Pretreatment with the tyrosine kinase inhibitor, herbimycin A, inhibited these phosphorylation events and disrupted the coupling between Fc gamma R ligation and PLC activation. These observations suggest that Fc gamma R in NK cell is coupled to PLC via a G protein-independent, but tyrosine kinase-dependent pathway.

Abstract Monocytes and macrophages can take up nonopsonized particles through a direct phagocytic process and IgG-coated particles through combined mechanisms of nonspecific phagocytosis and internalization mediated by specific Fc receptors for IgG (Fc gamma R) on the plasma membrane. In this study, we report the effect of phagocytosis of nonopsonized latex beads on the levels of expression of Fc gamma receptors in human monocyte-derived macrophages (MDM) as measured by flow cytometry (fluorescence-activated cell sorter [FACS]). Macrophages were exposed to green fluorescent 1-micron polystyrene beads before labeling for Fc gamma RI, Fc gamma R-II, and Fc gamma R-III, respectively, with 32.2, 2E1, and 3G8 monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) and a phycoerythrin (PE)- conjugated secondary Ab to permit dual-channel analysis of fluorescence intensity by FACS. Macrophages that had phagocytosed at least one bead showed reduced levels of surface Fc gamma R-III but not Fc gamma R-I or Fc gamma R-II when compared with cells that had never been exposed to beads. Moreover, cells that were not in direct contact with beads, but that shared medium with cells that had phagocytosed beads also had reduced levels of Fc gamma R-III but not Fc gamma R-I or Fc gamma R-II, suggesting a cytokine-mediated mechanism of Fc gamma R-III downregulation. Phagocytosis of 1-micron beads alone stimulated macrophages to release tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). The medium from macrophages phagocytosing beads could stimulate other macrophages not in direct contact with beads to release TNF-alpha as well, but such paracrine-triggered release could be reduced by more than 50% if the medium from the phagocytosing cells was first treated with a neutralizing anti-TNF-alpha antibody. Moreover, the paracrine downregulation of Fc gamma R-III described above could also be blocked if the neutralizing anti-TNF-alpha antibody was added to the medium of phagocytosing cells. Treatment of macrophages with recombinant human TNF-alpha in the absence of beads induced decreased levels of Fc gamma R-III but not of Fc gamma R-II. These results show that paracrine downregulation of Fc gamma R-III is mediated by a TNF-alpha-dependent mechanism.

Macrophages were exposed to green fluorescent 1-micron polystyrene beads before labeling for Fc gamma RI, Fc gamma R-II, and Fc gamma R-III, respectively, with 32.2, 2E1, and 3G8 monoclonal antibodies (MoAbs) and a phycoerythrin (PE)- conjugated secondary Ab to permit dual-channel analysis of fluorescence intensity by FACS. Macrophages that had phagocytosed at least one bead showed reduced levels of surface Fc gamma R-III but not Fc gamma R-I or Fc gamma R-II when compared with cells that had never been exposed to beads. Moreover, cells that were not in direct contact with beads, but that shared medium with cells that had phagocytosed beads also had reduced levels of Fc gamma R-III but not Fc gamma R-I or Fc gamma R-II, suggesting a cytokine-mediated mechanism of Fc gamma R-III downregulation. Phagocytosis of 1-micron beads alone stimulated macrophages to release tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). The medium from macrophages phagocytosing beads could stimulate other macrophages not in direct contact with beads to release TNF-alpha as well, but such paracrine-triggered release could be reduced by more than 50% if the medium from the phagocytosing cells was first treated with a neutralizing anti-TNF-alpha antibody. Moreover, the paracrine downregulation of Fc gamma R-III described above could also be blocked if the neutralizing anti-TNF-alpha antibody was added to the medium of phagocytosing cells. Treatment of macrophages with recombinant human TNF-alpha in the absence of beads induced decreased levels of Fc gamma R-III but not of Fc gamma R-II. These results show that paracrine downregulation of Fc gamma R-III is mediated by a TNF-alpha-dependent mechanism.

Abstract Human polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) normally express two distinct types of IgG Fc gamma R, the 40-kDa Fc gamma R referred to as Fc gamma RII and the low affinity 50- to 70-kDa Fc gamma R designated Fc gamma RIII. A third type of Fc gamma R, the 72-kDa high affinity receptor known as Fc gamma RI, is also detectable on PMN that have been activated by IFN-gamma. Using mAb that discriminate among the three known types of Fc gamma R, we examined the effects of IFN-gamma and glucocorticoids on human PMN Fc gamma R expression. We also studied effects of IFN-gamma and the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone (DEX) on antibody-dependent cytotoxicity (ADCC) of chicken erythrocytes and phagocytosis of IgG-coated ox RBC by human PMN. In 20 donors studied, we found that treatment of PMN with 400 U/ml IFN-gamma induced a 9- to 20-fold increase in the number of Fc gamma RI sites per cell, and DEX inhibited this induction of Fc gamma RI by 39 to 73%. Similarly, DEX significantly reduced the IFN-gamma stimulation of ADCC and phagocytosis. IFN-gamma had no effect on expression of Fc gamma RII or Fc gamma RIII. Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RII expression was unaltered by 24 h of treatment with DEX alone, but Fc gamma RIII expression was sometimes increased by about 20% on PMN cultured with DEX. Nevertheless, we found a small but significant inhibition of ADCC and phagocytosis by 200 nM DEX. Our results indicate that Fc gamma RI plays a major but not exclusive role in the regulation of ADCC and phagocytosis by IFN-gamma and DEX.

Abstract Murine dendritic epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) are APC. This implies that LC take up, process, and present Ag to T cells. One way of doing so that could allow Ag internalization is provided by the low affinity receptors for the Fc region of IgG (Fc gamma R), which murine LC are known to express, although their isoform(s) and function(s) have not been defined. By using molecular biology and biochemical approaches, we demonstrated that LC expressed Fc gamma RIIb2 and Fc gamma RIII. Furthermore, LC internalized Fc gamma R by receptor-mediated endocytosis, as observed with gold-labeled anti-Fc gamma RII/III mAb or immune complexes. We demonstrated the biologic relevance of this process by observing that Fc gamma R-mediated Ag internalization improved by approximately 300-fold the Ag-presenting capacity of LC to T cells. Moreover, analysis of cell culture supernatants showed that two forms of soluble Fc gamma R (sFc gamma R) were released by LC: the first most probably was the secreted transmembrane-deleted Fc gamma RII isoform, Fc gamma RIIb3, and the second was a soluble receptor probably derived from the membrane-associated Fc gamma RII/III. The ability of two recombinant forms, corresponding to the two sFc gamma R released by LC, to inhibit Fc gamma R-mediated presentation enhancement was assayed. Preincubation of IgG-complexed Ag with either rsFc gamma R led to a dose-dependent decrease in the Ag-presenting capacity of LC. Taken together, our results suggest that, in vivo, LC express membrane Fc gamma R, which increase their Ag-presenting capacity for IgG-complexed Ag, and release sFc gamma R, which might be able to modulate this Ag presentation.

We have cloned and expressed a cDNA encoding a human receptor for IgG (Fc gamma R) from the monocyte cell line U937. The deduced structure is a 35-kD transmembrane protein with homology to the mouse Fc[gamma 2b/gamma 1] receptor amino acid sequence of approximately 60% in the extracellular domain. The signal sequence is homologous to the mouse Fc gamma R alpha cDNA clone, while the transmembrane domain shares homology with mouse Fc gamma R beta cDNAs. The cytoplasmic domain is apparently unique. The extracellular domain shows significant homology to proteins of the Ig gene superfamily, including the human c-fms protooncogene/CSF-1 receptor. Mouse Ltk- cells transfected with the human Fc gamma R cDNA express a cell-surface receptor that selectively binds human IgG and is recognized by the anti-Fc gamma RII mAb IV.3. Antibodies against peptides derived from the human Fc gamma R sequence specifically stain U937 cells, but not an Fc gamma RII-bearing B-lymphoblastoid cell line (Daudi). These results identify the human Fc gamma RII as the homologue of mouse Fc[gamma 2b/gamma 1] R, and provide evidence for heterogeneity of Fc gamma RII expressed on monocytes and B cells.

Abstract We have investigated the role of protein tyrosine phosphorylation in transmembrane signaling via the IgG receptors Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RII in the human monocytic cell line THP-1. Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RII were selectively engaged using the anti-Fc gamma RI mAb 197 (IgG2a) and the anti-Fc gamma RII mAb IV.3 (IgG2b). Addition to cells of mAb 197, but not addition of IgG2a mAb of irrelevant specificity, resulted in the rapid induction of cytoplasmic protein tyrosine phosphorylation as assessed by antiphosphotyrosine immunoblotting. A similar pattern of tyrosine phosphorylation was induced by mAb IV.3, but not by control IgG2b mAb. The induction of tyrosine phosphorylation by anti-Fc gamma R mAb was not dependent on antibody Fc region-FcR interactions, because tyrosine phosphorylation was also induced by cross-linked anti-Fc gamma RI F(ab')2 fragments and by cross-linked anti-Fc gamma RII Fab fragments. To investigate the relationship of Fc gamma R-induced tyrosine phosphorylation and activation of phospholipase C, which is known to follow Fc gamma R engagement, we assessed the effect of the tyrosine kinase inhibitor herbimycin A on Fc gamma R-induced Ca2+ flux. Herbimycin A strongly inhibited cellular Ca2+ flux induced by mAb 197, but did not inhibit Ca2+ flux induced by aluminum fluoride, suggesting that tyrosine phosphorylation may be important in regulating Fc gamma R-mediated activation of phospholipase C. Consistent with this, mAb 197 induced rapid phosphorylation of the gamma-1 isoform of phospholipase C. Finally, herbimycin A strongly inhibited the induction of TNF-alpha mRNA accumulation by Fc gamma R cross-linking. These results suggest that protein tyrosine phosphorylation may play an important role in the activation of phospholipase C and in the induction of monokine gene expression that follows engagement of Fc gamma R in human monocytes.

Abstract In order to identify possible mechanisms regulating the expression of Fc gamma RII, we have examined the methylation status of the beta Fc gamma R gene in a panel of Fc gamma RII (+) and (-) cells belonging to several different lineages. We used beta 1 cDNA probes, derived from beta Fc gamma R gene transcripts which encode murine Fc gamma RII molecules. We found that all CCGG sequences detected with these probes were methylated in the genomic DNA of the Fc gamma RII-(-) cells. By contrast, two CCGG sites were found to be selectively unmethylated in the DNA of all Fc gamma RII(+) cells tested. These sites could be assigned to the region of the 5' end of the beta Fc gamma R gene. Besides, the treatment of Fc gamma RII(-) thymoma cells BW5147 with 5-azacytidine induced a hypomethylation of the beta Fc gamma R gene concomitantly with the transcription of that gene as seen by Northern blotting and the expression of functional Fc gamma RII. Conversely, the DNA-methylating agent ethyl methanesulfonate completely reversed the phenotype of the 5-azacytidine-treated cells to that of the Fc gamma RII(-) BW5147 parent cells. In ethyl methanesulfonate-treated cells, the beta Fc gamma R gene was remethylated and the corresponding transcript was no more detectable. We conclude that the methylation of a specific 5' segment of the beta Fc gamma R gene regulates the expression of Fc gamma RII in murine T cells, B cells, mast cells, and macrophages, possibly by controlling the gene transcription.

Abstract Antigen-specific and idiotype-specific mouse suppressor T cell hybridomas were analyzed for the presence and specificity of Fc gamma receptors (Fc gamma R) by EA rosetting and by flow microfluorometry with the use of monoclonal antibodies. We found that four hybridomas expressed Fc gamma R specific for IgG1 and IgG2b, one of which became Fc gamma R- during prolonged culture. Four other hybridomas and the fusion parent, BW5147, consistently lacked Fc gamma R. The 125I-labeled Fc gamma R were isolated from surface radioiodinated hybridoma cells solubilized with 1% Nonidet P-40, were purified by using single or repetitive chromatography on mouse IgG-Sepharose columns, and were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. An 125I-labeled 56,000 to 61,000 Mr macromolecule was isolated from each of the Fc gamma R+ hybridomas, but from none of the Fc gamma R- hybridomas nor from BW5147 cells. This macromolecule rebound to insolubilized mouse IgG1, IgG2b, and human Fc fragments, but not to insolubilized mouse IgG2a, IgG3, or IgA or human F(ab')2 fragments, consistent with the specificity observed for Fc gamma R on intact hybridoma cells. The mouse suppressor T cell Fc gamma R differs in size and specificity from mouse B cell Fc gamma R. A 70,000 Mr protein expressed on all hybridomas and on BW5147 cells was radiolabeled and, despite preclearing with ovalbumin-Sepharose, bound to the mouse IgG-Sepharose columns, presumably due to mouse antibodies to gp-70. This macromolecule was completely and specifically removed by using goat antiserum to gp-70.

Abstract A major new challenge for vaccine development is to target APC such as monocytes and macrophages for efficient Ag processing and presentation. It has been shown that Fc gamma R-mediated uptake of Ag-antibody complexes can enhance Ag presentation by myeloid cells at least 100-fold, and directing Ag to Fc gamma R in mice brings about a substantial increase in the effectiveness of immunization while eliminating the requirement for adjuvant. It has not been determined which of the three subclasses of human Fc gamma R on myeloid cells (Fc gamma RI, Fc gamma RII, or Fc gamma RIII) function to enhance Ag presentation. We have targeted our Ag (TT) to each of the three subclasses of human Fc gamma R on monocytes using Fc gamma R subclass-specific mAb-TT conjugates, and have measured TT presentation by monitoring T cell proliferation in response to TT. In addition, we have examined enhanced Ag presentation mediated by a human IgG1 (HIgG1) anti-TT mAb. All anti-Fc gamma R-TT conjugates enhanced Ag presentation. HIgG1 anti-TT, in monomeric form, enhanced Ag presentation through Fc gamma RI only. Anti-Fc gamma RI-Ag conjugates appear to be optimal for application as vaccines. They are monocyte/macrophage-specific, are very efficiently processed and presented, and enhance Ag presentation despite occupation of Fc gamma RI with HIgG.

Anti-Fc gamma R IgM monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) isolated from lipopolysaccharide-stimulated spleen cells from tightskin (TSK) mice were found to be polyspecific, reacting with a wide variety of molecules, including double-stranded DNA, topoisomerase, RNA polymerase, and different collagen types. Approximately 60% of the polyspecific IgM mAbs have anti-Fc gamma R specificity. These anti-Fc gamma R mAbs induce the release of hydrolases from both azurophil and specific granules of human neutrophils. 25-45% of the total cellular content (determined in Nonidet P-40 lysates) of neutrophil elastase, 10-25% of beta-glucuronidase, and 30-50% of alkaline phosphatase was released after incubation with the mAbs. The degranulation process was accompanied by dramatic morphological changes shown by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The release of hydrolytic enzymes stimulated by the IgM anti-Fc gamma R mAbs was inhibited by preincubation of neutrophils with Fab fragments of either anti-human Fc gamma RII (IV.3) or anti-human Fc gamma RIII (3G8) mAbs. The binding of the anti-Fc gamma R TSK mAbs to human neutrophils was inhibited by Fab fragments of mAb 3G8. However, we found that the TSK anti-Fc gamma R mAbs do not bind to human Fc gamma RII expressed in either CHO cells or the P388D1 mouse macrophage cell line. Since the enzyme release could be inhibited by Fab fragments of mAb IV.3, we suggest that the signal transduction may require Fc gamma RII activation subsequent to crosslinking of the glycan phosphatidyl inositol-anchored Fc gamma RIII-1. These data demonstrate for the first time that polyspecific autoantibodies with Fc gamma R specificity can trigger neutrophil enzyme release via human Fc gamma RIII-1 in vitro and indicate a possible role for such autoantibodies in autoimmune inflammatory processes.

Abstract Mouse IL-3-dependent, bone marrow culture-derived mast cells (BMMC) bind IgG immune complexes through Fc receptors for IgG (Fc gamma R) but express minimal Fc gamma RIII on their surfaces. BMMC do not degranulate appreciably when their Fc gamma R are perturbed with the rat anti-mouse Fc gamma RII/III mAb 2.4G2 and F(ab')2 mouse anti-rat IgG (MAR). In contrast, after their Fc gamma R were cross-linked with mAb 2.4G2 and Na125I-labeled MAR at 37 degrees C, BMMC rapidly internalized the complex. To identify the Fc gamma R species expressed on the surface of BMMC and therefore implicated in the endocytic response, two rabbit antipeptide antisera were raised, one against a sequence common to the cytoplasmic regions of Fc gamma RIIb1 and Fc gamma RIIb2 and the other to a unique cytoplasmic region of Fc gamma RIIb1. When Fc gamma R were immunoprecipitated with mAb 2.4G2 from detergent extracts of BMMC, digested with N-glycosidase F, subjected to SDS-PAGE, and immunoblotted with the Fc gamma RIIb1- and Fc gamma RIIb1/b2-specific antibodies, BMMC were found to express Fc gamma RIIb1 and Fc gamma RIIb2. Selective immunoprecipitation of plasma membrane-localized Fc gamma RIIb1 and Fc gamma RIIb2 from [3H]leucine-labeled BMMC showed that their ratio at the cell surface was similar to their initial biosynthetic ratio. Thus, in contrast to mature serosal mast cells that degranulate on binding of IgG complexes, immature mast cells, of which BMMC are a prototype, may have a role in the clearance of complexes without concomitant release of proinflammatory mediators.

Abstract We have investigated the possible physical interactions between CR, receptors for the Fc gamma R and surface Ig (sIg) on the surface membrane of murine B lymphocytes. We used the rat mAb to murine CR, 8C12, and 7G6, as CR ligands, and soluble Ag-antibody complexes as FcR ligands; and F(ab')2 fragments of rabbit antibodies specific for mouse IgM and IgD as sIg ligands. We have found that: 1) sIg, CR, and Fc gamma R are not directly linked, because capping of any one did not affect the expression of the others; 2) the mAb 8C12 and 7G6 failed by themselves to cross-link CR; 3) soluble Ag-antibody complexes crosslinked some, Fc gamma R on a minority of Fc gamma R+ lymphocytes; 4) once loaded with anti-CR mAb, CR co-capped with sIg when sIg was cross-linked; 5) once loaded with Ag-antibody complexes, Fc gamma R also co-capped with sIg when sIg was sIg was cross-linked; 6) loading of Fc gamma R did not affect the co-capping of surface CR with cross-linked sIg and conversely, loading of CR did not affect the co-capping of Fc gamma R with cross-linked sIg; only loaded CR or Fc gamma R co-capped with sIg regardless of the status of the other surface molecule; 7) neither loaded nor free CR co-capped with cross-linked Fc gamma R, and neither loaded nor free Fc gamma R co-capped with cross-linked CR. These results demonstrate that both Fc gamma R and CR independently become associated with sIg when either receptor is loaded and sIg is cross-linked.

Abstract Cross-linking of Fc gamma R on human monocytes with human IgG has been shown to induce secretion of the inflammatory and immunoregulatory cytokine TNF. In the present study we examined the role of both constitutively expressed monocyte Fc gamma R, the 72-kDa high affinity Fc gamma R (Fc gamma RI), and the 40-kDa low affinity receptor (Fc gamma RII), in the induction of TNF secretion. On the basis of preferential binding of the Fc moiety of murine mAb of different isotype, Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RII were selectively cross-linked by using either solid-phase murine (m)IgG2a, or solid-phase mIgG1, respectively. On freshly isolated, untreated monocytes only cross-linking of Fc gamma RI with solid-phase mIgG2a induced TNF secretion. The interaction between Fc gamma RII and mIgG1 could be enhanced by treatment of monocytes with proteases or with the desialylating enzyme neuraminidase. After treatment of monocytes with these enzymes, TNF secretion was effectively induced by solid-phase mIgG1, apparently through cross-linking of Fc gamma RII. However, mIgG1-induced TNF secretion differed between protease-treated monocytes from high responder individuals and monocytes from low responder individuals, TNF secretion being considerably less in the latter population. Protease-treated monocytes and mononuclear cells from individuals with an inherited defect in cell membrane expression of Fc gamma RI were induced to secrete TNF by solid-phase human IgG, confirming the capacity of Fc gamma RII to induce TNF secretion. It was not possible to induce TNF secretion by cross-linking Fc gamma RI or Fc gamma RII with anti-Fc gamma R mAb and soluble or solid-phase anti-mIgG, indicating that high affinity Fc-Fc gamma R interactions are necessary to induce release of this cytokine.

Abstract Cross-linking of PBMC and monocyte Fc gamma R on immobilized IgG stimulates IL-8 release. We used immobilized anti-Fc gamma R Abs to determine which of the three surface Fc gamma R regulated this IL-8 secretion. Fc gamma RIII cross-linking stimulated PBMC to release 5 times more IL-8 than did either Fc gamma RI or Fc gamma RII clustering (p = 0.001) and stimulated 77% more IL-8 release from PBMC than that from purified monocytes (p = 0.001). In contrast, only Fc gamma RI cross-linking significantly induced monocytes to release IL-8 (p = 0.05). Since purified lymphocytes release little IL-8 in response to immobilized IgG or anti-Fc gamma RIII Abs, we hypothesized that lymphocyte Fc gamma R cross-linking augmented monocyte IL-8 release. Supernatants from IgG- or Fc gamma RIII -stimulated lymphocytes induced monocytes to release more IL-8 than lymphocytes incubated on plastic alone (p = 0.002 and p = 0.003, respectively). THP-1 cells, which do not produce IL-8 in response to Fc gamma i]R cross-linking, also released IL-8 in response to supernatants from IgG- or Fc gamma RIII-stimulated lymphocytes, suggesting that the supernatant activity was not soluble immune complexes. The IL-8-stimulating activity was heat labile, suggesting that the activity is a protein. However, we could not reproduce or block this activity using recombinant cytokines or neutralizing anti-cytokine Abs. Thus, monocyte IL-8 is stimulated directly through Fc gamma RI cross-linking and indirectly through an Fc gamma RIII-stimulated soluble lymphocyte factor.

Abstract At physiologic and therapeutic concentrations, glucocorticoids decrease the number of Fc receptors for IgG (Fc gamma R) on human monocyte-like cell lines. In comparison, gamma-interferon (IFN-gamma) increases Fc gamma R expression on both human monocytes and monocyte-like cell lines. In this study, we examined the combined effects of glucocorticoids and IFN-gamma on human monocyte expression of the high affinity (72 kDa) Fc gamma R. Mononuclear cells prepared from heparinized venous blood of normal donors were treated for up to 90 hr with or without recombinant IFN-gamma and/or steroids. Monocyte Fc gamma R were measured by Scatchard analysis of the binding of human monomeric 125I-IgG1; indirect immunofluorescence plus flow cytometry, utilizing a monoclonal antibody (MoAb 32) which is specific for the high affinity Fc gamma R; and direct immunofluorescence using fluorescein isothiocyanate-labeled human monomeric IgG1 and flow cytometry quantitated using U-937 cells as a standard. Cultured monocytes incubated in the presence of both glucocorticoids and IFN-gamma for 18 hr had significantly higher (p less than 0.01) Fc gamma R levels than monocytes treated with IFN-gamma alone. The effect of combined treatment reached a plateau by 42 hr of incubation without increasing expression of other surface markers tested. Treatment with glucocorticoids alone did not consistently decrease monocyte Fc gamma R levels after either 18 or 42 hr of culture. Only glucocorticoids augmented the IFN-gamma increase in Fc gamma R; other steroids tested had no effect on IFN-gamma action. Furthermore, the effect was observed after treatment with only one type of interferon, IFN-gamma. These results describe a glucocorticoid immunoregulatory effect that may explain why combined IFN-gamma plus glucocorticoid treatment enhances mononuclear phagocyte Fc-mediated functions.

Abstract The three types of IgG FcR (Fc gamma RI, Fc gamma RII, Fc gamma RIII) on human leukocytes play an important role in elimination of antibody-coated infectious agents. To further understand the role of the different Fc gamma R in mediating this killing, we examined the ability of human myeloid and lymphoid cells to kill the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii in the presence of antitoxoplasma IgG or bispecific antibodies. Although human myeloid cells (monocytes, macrophages, neutrophils, and eosinophils) all lysed unsensitized T. gondii, killing by these cells was significantly enhanced by opsonization with antitoxoplasma rabbit IgG. Human lymphocytes, however, did not lyse T. gondii unless the parasites were coated with antibody. The role of antibody and Fc gamma R in mediating ADCC of T. gondii was then examined using bispecific antibodies made by chemically cross-linking Fab fragments of antitoxoplasma antibodies to Fab fragments of antibodies specific for human leukocyte surface Ag, including Fc gamma R. Thus, simultaneous binding of these bispecifics to parasites and effector cells allowed an evaluation of killing when T. gondii were targeted to each Ag independently. Bispecifics which targeted T. gondii to Fc gamma RI, II or III enhanced lysis by monocytes. However, similar results were obtained with bispecifics targeting T. gondii to non-Fc gamma R Ag (CD11b or beta 2-microglobulin) on monocytes. Likewise, polymorphonuclear leukocytes mediated significantly more lysis in the presence of bispecifics linking T. gondii to Fc gamma RII, Fc gamma RIII, or the two non-Fc gamma R Ag CD11b and beta 2-microglobulin. Thus, although human myeloid cells did not require antibody-Fc gamma R triggering to kill T. gondii, antibody appeared to enhance lysis by capturing and directing the parasites to the effector cell surface. Human lymphocytes, in contrast, mediated significant lysis of T. gondii only in the presence of bispecifics targeting T. gondii to Fc gamma RIII, indicating a requirement for specific triggering of Fc gamma RIII for killing by large granular lymphocytes. Consequently, using bispecifics to compare targeting to specific Ag, both non-Fc gamma R and Fc gamma R, allowed determination of the role of antibody-Fc gamma R interactions in T. gondii killing. In addition, these studies demonstrate the potential of bispecifics in determining the role of specific Ag in killing of or infection by pathogens.

Abstract Stimulation of human polymorphonuclear neutrophils through ligation and cross-linking of the low affinity Fc gamma RIIa and Fc gamma RIIIb using mAb Fab and F(ab')2 fragments led to transient intracellular calcium mobilization and activation of the respiratory burst. Fc gamma RIIIb engagement resulted in a different pattern of intracellular calcium flux, and induction of the respiratory burst was significantly more effective than in the case of Fc gamma RIIa. These data demonstrate that the capacity of Fc gamma RIIIb to transduce transmembrane signals itself contributes to full cell activation. Treatment with a mAb F(ab')2 fragment recognizing CD45 phosphatase suppressed Fc gamma R-induced calcium mobilization in a dose-dependent manner. An ongoing intracellular calcium mobilization was immediately terminated when activation was followed by co-cross-linking Fc gamma R and CD45. This suggests that the initial steps of Fc gamma R signal transduction pathways are influenced by the state of tyrosine phosphorylation. Combined cross-linking of both receptors, however, was hardly susceptible to CD45. Also, inhibition of respiratory burst by CD45 in the case of Fc gamma RIIIb was minimal compared with that for Fc gamma RIIa. Signal transduction pathways of low affinity Fc gamma RIIa and Fc gamma RIIIb are differentially regulated by CD45, underlining the essential function of Fc gamma R-mediated tyrosine phosphorylation in polymorphonuclear neutrophil activation.

Abstract Culture of murine splenic B cells with interleukin 4 (IL-4) caused the up-regulation of the lymphocyte Fc receptor for immunoglobulin E (IgE) (Fc epsilon R) over a similar dose range as required for Ia up-regulation. However, the expression level of the Fc receptor for immunoglobulin G (Fc gamma R) did not increase, rather IL-4 caused a slight but consistent decrease in the Fc gamma R level on the B cells. Fc epsilon R+ B hybridoma cells also responded to IL-4 by exhibiting increased Fc epsilon R expression; with the hybridoma cells Fc gamma R levels were unaffected. IL-4 caused an increase in the number of Fc epsilon R per cell and the highest levels of expression were obtained by having both IgE and IL-4 present in the culture. The specificity of the increase was demonstrated by blocking IL-4-mediated actions with monoclonal anti-IL-4 (11B11). Experiments following the incorporation of [35S]methionine into the Fc epsilon R demonstrated that IL-4 increased the rate of Fc epsilon R biosynthesis; this provides an explanation for the IL-4-induced increase in Fc epsilon R expression. IL-4, unlike IgE, had no effect on the rate of degradation of the Fc epsilon R. Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) totally abrogated IL-4-mediated Fc epsilon R up-regulation; at the same concentration of IFN-gamma Ia up-regulation is also suppressed, although not as effectively. IFN-gamma was shown to directly suppress Fc epsilon R synthesis, thereby explaining the inhibitory action on Fc epsilon R levels. Finally, it was shown that 11B11 inhibited the increased expression of Fc epsilon R on B cells obtained from mice during the early, but not the late, stages of Nippostrongylus brasiliensis infection. This latter finding suggests that the high Fc epsilon R levels seen early in parasite infections are dependent upon IL-4. The results overall provide further insight into the biologic activities of IL-4.

Crosslinking of the low affinity immunoglobulin G (IgG) Fc receptor (Fc gamma R type III) on natural killer (NK) cells initiates antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity. During this process, Fc gamma R stimulation results in the rapid activation of phospholipase C (PLC), which hydrolyzes membrane phosphoinositides, generating inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate and sn-1,2-diacylglycerol as second messengers. We have recently reported that PLC activation after Fc gamma R stimulation can be inhibited by a protein tyrosine kinase (PTK) inhibitor. Based on the paradigm provided by the receptor tyrosine kinases, we investigated whether PLC-gamma 1 and/or PLC-gamma 2 are expressed in NK cells, and whether the PLC-gamma isoforms are tyrosine phosphorylated in response to Fc gamma R stimulation. Immunoblotting analyses with PLC-gamma 1- and PLC-gamma 2-specific antisera demonstrate that both isoforms are expressed in human NK cells. Furthermore, Fc gamma R crosslinking triggers the tyrosine phosphorylation of both PLC-gamma 1 and PLC-gamma 2 in these cells. Phosphorylation of both isoforms is detectable within 1 min, and returns to basal level within 30 min. Pretreatment with herbimycin A, a PTK inhibitor, blocked the Fc gamma R-induced tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma 1 and PLC-gamma 2, and the subsequent release of inositol phosphates. These results suggest that Fc gamma R-initiated phosphoinositide turnover in human NK cells is regulated by the tyrosine phosphorylation of PLC-gamma. More broadly, these observations demonstrate that nonreceptor PTK(s) activated by crosslinkage of a multisubunit receptor can phosphorylate both PLC-gamma isoforms.

Abstract We investigated the positive and negative effects of IFN-gamma, PMA, dibutyryl cAMP (Bt2cAMP), dexamethasone and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) on Fc gamma R subtype expression and phagocytosis of a human monoblast cell line, U937. IFN-gamma increased and Bt2cAMP decreased Fc gamma RI expression determined by a mAb 32.2, whereas PMA and Bt2cAMP increased Fc gamma RII expression determined by a mAb IV-3. Phagocytosis was measured microscopically by counting ingested aggregated human IgG- or BSA-treated ox E (Eo'-IgG or Eo'-BSA). IFN-gamma increased the phagocytosis of Eo'-IgG but not that of Eo'-BSA, and PMA increased the phagocytosis of both Eo'-IgG and Eo'-BSA. Bt2cAMP decreased both basal and IFN-gamma- and PMA-augmented phagocytosis of U937 cells. Dexamethasone also inhibited both basal and IFN-gamma-augmented Fc gamma RI expression and PMA-augmented Fc gamma RII expression and phagocytosis, but did not affect IFN-gamma-augmented phagocytosis of Eo'-IgG. The augmentation of phagocytosis of Eo'-IgG by IFN-gamma thus seems to be due mainly to the increased internalizing process rather than to increased Fc gamma RI expression. TGF-beta slightly decreased Fc gamma R expression. In a study of the participation of protein kinase C (PK-C), it was found that H-7, a PK-C inhibitor, did not inhibit either IFN-gamma- or PMA-enhanced Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RII expression, respectively, and 1-oleoyl-2-acetylglycerol and N-(6-phenylhexyl)-5-chloro-1-naphthalenesulfonamide, both PK-C activators, did not show any apparent increase in Fc gamma R expression and phagocytosis. These results show that Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RII expression on U937 cells is regulated by different mechanisms and that IFN-gamma and PMA play their roles in Fc gamma R expression and phagocytosis by different pathways. It is possible that cAMP but not PK-C plays an important role in the regulation of Fc gamma R expression and phagocytosis.

Abstract To investigate the prevalence of autoantibodies directed against Fc gamma RII (CD32) and Fc gamma RIII (CD16), 151 serum samples from patients with different autoimmune diseases and 25 samples obtained from healthy individuals were assayed by ELISA on microtiter plates coated with recombinant truncated Fc gamma RII and Fc gamma RIII protein. Class specificity was defined with anti-IgG, anti-IgM, and anti-IgA reagents. High titers of circulating IgM autoantibodies reacting with both Fc gamma RII and Fc gamma RIII were characteristic for SLE and rheumatoid arthritis patients. Sera from patients with Raynaud's syndrome showed predominantly IgG reactivity with Fc gamma RIII. Sera from patients with progressive systemic sclerosis showed both IgG and IgM Fc gamma RII and Fc gamma RIII reactivity. Many patients diagnosed with degenerative osteoarthritis also had IgG autoantibodies, directed primarily against Fc gamma RII with lesser reactivity toward Fc gamma RIII. Further study is needed to correlate these findings to clinical characteristics of the different diseases.

We have evaluated the capacity of the three major classes of human Fc gamma R to mediate phagocytosis by measuring the ability of adherent phagocytes to internalize erythrocytes coated with anti-Fc gamma R mAb. Five different cell types were studied, freshly purified monocytes, cultured monocytes, alveolar macrophages, freshly purified polymorphonuclear neutrophilic leukocytes, and PMNs cultured in IFN-gamma. Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RII on whichever cells they were expressed were capable of phagocytosing anti-Fc gamma R mAb-coated erythrocytes. Furthermore, Fc gamma RIII on mononuclear phagocytes, which appears to be a conventional integral membrane protein that spans the lipid bilayer, was capable of phagocytosing anti-Fc gamma RIII-coated erythrocytes. However, Fc gamma RIII on neutrophils, a molecule linked to the membrane by a phosphatidylinositol-glycan moiety, although binding anti-Fc gamma RIII-coated erythrocytes vigorously was incapable of mounting a phagocytic response. This deficiency correlates with the limited capacity of Fc gamma RIII on neutrophils to mediate superoxide generation and antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity and it may be related to the unique structural features of Fc gamma RIII.

We have isolated a recombinant secreted Fc gamma R beta molecule by deletion of the transmembrane and cytoplasmic domains encoding sequence from a Fc gamma R beta 1 cDNA clone, and insertion of the truncated cDNA into a eukaryotic expression vector, pcEXV-3. To express and amplify the production of the truncated Fc gamma R beta molecule, we transfected the truncated cDNA plasmid into a dihydrofolate reductase-minus CHO cell line along with a dhfr minigene, and amplified the gene products with methotrexate. The resulting cell line secretes 2-3 micrograms/ml/24 h of truncated Fc gamma R beta, which can be readily purified by affinity chromatography on IgG-Sepharose. The truncated Fc gamma R beta has a Mr of 31-33,000 on SDS-PAGE and is glycosylated. N-glycosidase F cleavage reduces the Mr to 19,000, consistent with the size of the truncated product, 176 amino acid residues. There are two disulfide bonds in the protein. Binding of immune complexes formed between DNP20BSA and anti-DNP mAbs reveals better binding of IgG1 aggregates than that of IgG2b and IgG2a aggregates. The binding of the immune complexes was somewhat better at more acidic pH, in contrast to previous experiments with binding of purified Fc gamma R to immune complex-coated beads. We were surprised to observe that the truncated Fc gamma R beta did not react with the anti-Fc gamma R mAb 6B7C. Previous work had shown that 6B7C reacts with Fc gamma R on immunoblots, fails to bind to the surface of resting B cells and peritoneal macrophages, but does bind to macrophage cell lines and LPS-stimulated B cells. We show, by binding of mAb 6B7C to a peptide conjugate, that the 6B7C epitope lies within residues 169-183 of the intact Fc gamma R beta, which is just outside the plasma membrane. The availability of the truncated Fc gamma R beta in microgram quantities should facilitate further analysis of structure and function of these receptors.

Abstract The cellular responses initiated by cross-linking rodent Fc gamma RII-b1, Fc gamma RII-b2, Fc gamma RIII, and Fc epsilon RI in mast cells were compared. Individual murine Fc gamma R isoforms were transfected into rat basophilic leukemia cells and after cross-linking the FcR, changes in the phosphorylation of protein tyrosines, in the level of intracellular Ca2+, in the hydrolysis of phosphoinositides, and in the release of arachidonic acid metabolites and hexosaminidase were monitored. Cross-linking of Fc gamma RIII initiated all of these early and late biochemical functions, and although they were quantitatively somewhat smaller, the responses were qualitatively indistinguishable from those stimulated by the endogenous Fc epsilon RI. However, despite ample expression, neither Fc gamma RII-b1 nor Fc gamma RII-b2 stimulated these functions when cross-linked. The functional differences between Fc gamma RII and Fc gamma RIII were studied further by assessing the responses to cross-linking of the endogenous Fc gamma R (Fc gamma RII-b1, Fc gamma RII-b2, and Fc gamma RIII) on P815 mouse mastocytoma cells that had been transfected with normal or functionally defective Fc epsilon RI. Two types of mutant subunits had previously been observed to impair the activity of Fc epsilon RI: gamma-chains missing the cytoplasmic domain, and beta-chains missing the COOH-terminal cytoplasmic domain. In both types of transfectants the functional inhibition of the endogenous Fc gamma R paralleled that of the transfected Fc epsilon RI. These results are consistent with the gamma subunit being associated with the functions of Fc gamma RIII as well as of Fc epsilon RI. The functional results also complement the recently reported evidence that Fc gamma RIII can interact with Fc epsilon RI beta-subunits (J. Exp. Med. 175:447, 1992).

Abstract The low affinity IgG receptor Fc gamma RII (CD32) represents the most widely distributed class of human Fc gamma R. To analyze the biologic functions of different Fc gamma RII isoforms, we stably transfected Fc gamma RIIb1, IIb1*, IIb2, IIa, and a IIa tail- mutant to the mouse IIA1.6 B lymphoma cell line. Of these, Fc gamma RIIb1* represents a receptor variant that is identical to IIb1 except for a single amino acid difference in the cytoplasmic tail (amino acid position 11) where a tyrosine (IIb1) is replaced by an aspartic acid (IIb1*). Evaluation of capping ability showed the Fc gamma RIIb1 molecules to cap effectively, which was even more apparent with IIb1*. None of the Fc gamma RIIa, IIa tail-, or IIb2 isoforms capped significantly. Internalization of Fc gamma R-antibody complexes proved very efficient for both the Fc gamma RIIa and IIb2 isoforms, whereas the IIb1 molecules internalized moderately compared with IIb1*, which internalized less efficiently. Notably, human IgG aggregates were internalized effectively by Fc gamma RIIa and moderately by IIb2. Neither Fc gamma RIIb1 nor IIb1* proved capable of internalizing such IgG aggregates. Cross-linking of the different Fc gamma R molecules showed Fc gamma RIIa capable of triggering increases in [Ca2+]i. Fc gamma R expressed on B cells were able to down-regulate [Ca2+]i on co-cross-linking with slgG. Notably, all three Fc gamma RIIb receptors proved active in this respect, in contrast to Fc gamma RIIa. The cell distribution of these Fc gamma RII isoforms was analyzed in a panel of human B cell lines to complement the IIA1.6 B cell model. Fc gamma RIIa was found expressed both at message and protein levels in all tested human B cell lines. In the pre-B cell lines evaluated, no Fc gamma RIIb molecules were detectable, whereas both Fc gamma RIIb1 and IIb2 molecules were found present in more mature B cell lines. These data support both a complex expression pattern of Fc gamma RII isoforms in B cell lines and functional differences between these B cell molecules.

Abstract As part of an effort to define the cytotoxic trigger molecules on human myeloid cells, the ability of the different Fc receptors for IgG (Fc gamma R) to mediate killing of tumor cell lines by monocytes and granulocytes was examined. This was accomplished by studying cytolysis of hybridoma cell (HC) targets bearing surface antibody directed toward the different Fc gamma R. The HC line, HC IV.3A, which bears Ig directed to the low affinity Fc gamma R (Fc gamma RII) on monocytes and neutrophils was lysed by human monocytes. The extent of lysis of HC IV.3A was approximately equal to that of anti-Fc gamma RI (the high affinity Fc gamma R on human monocytes) bearing HC lines (HC 32.2A and HC 62A) and was not augmented by treatment of the monocytes with interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma). In contrast, neutrophils lysed HC IV.3A and HC 32.2A only after activation with IFN-gamma. Since Fc gamma RI is not detectable on untreated neutrophils and is induced by IFN-gamma on these cells, lysis of HC 32.2A by IFN-gamma-activated neutrophils correlated with receptor induction. On the other hand, Fc gamma RII was present at equal levels on untreated and IFN-gamma-treated neutrophils, but only IFN-gamma-treated neutrophils mediated cytotoxicity via Fc gamma RII. In this case, enhanced killing appeared to be due to events other than an increase in Fc gamma RII number. Neither untreated nor IFN-gamma-treated neutrophils mediated the lysis of the anti-Fc gamma RIII bearing HC 3G8A. Thus, binding to the tumor target via this Fc receptor does not lead to lysis and may initiate signals distinct from those triggered through Fc gamma RI or Fc gamma RII. Surprisingly, HC bearing high amounts of mouse IgG1 antibody of irrelevant specificity were also lysed by monocytes. This lysis was blocked by soluble IV.3 antibody and thus appeared to be due to binding of the Fc portion of the surface Ig to Fc gamma RII on monocytes. Furthermore, monocytes from donors with a form of Fc gamma RII incapable of binding aggregated mouse IgG1 did not lyse these HC, but displayed normal lysis of HC IV.3, demonstrating that this structurally different Fc gamma RII remained a functional trigger molecule. Overall, these studies have demonstrated the specificity of Fc receptors in triggering monocyte- and granulocyte-mediated antibody-dependent tumor cell killing and have begun to dissect functional similarities and differences among the three defined Fc gamma R on human myeloid cells.

Abstract The human monocytic cell line THP-1 expresses two classes of IgG Fc receptor (Fc gamma R), Fc gamma RI, a high affinity 72-kDa Fc gamma R, and Fc gamma RII, a low affinity 40-kDa Fc gamma R. Biochemical as well as indirect immunofluorescence studies demonstrated that the selective cross-linking of Fc gamma RII with either anti-Fc gamma RII mAb Fab followed by F(ab)2 fragments of goat anti-mouse IgG, or aggregated hIgG1, which represents a physiologic ligand for this receptor, resulted in the activation of a protein tyrosine kinase (PTK). Several distinct cellular proteins including the Fc gamma RII itself were specifically phosphorylated on tyrosine upon ligand binding. Cross-linking of Fc gamma RII also triggered a rapid internalization of Fc gamma RII that was dependent upon tyrosine kinase activity. The internalization of the receptor in endocytic vesicles was established by confocal microscopy. The time course of Fc gamma RII-initiated tyrosine phosphorylation paralleled endocytic events and reached a maximum between 5 and 10 min after ligand binding and declined toward basal levels as endocytosis was completed. Identical concentrations of genistein, an inhibitor of PTK, blocked Fc gamma RII-mediated endocytosis as well as the induction of tyrosine phosphorylation of Fc gamma RII and other cellular proteins. Cross-linking of Fc gamma RI also induced a rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins similar to the Fc gamma RII-mediated events. However, Fc gamma RII was not tyrosyl phosphorylated upon Fc gamma RI activation. Thus Fc gamma RII is a unique substrate for the PTK activity associated with Fc gamma RII upon cross-linking of this receptor. These results support the conclusion that Fc gamma RII is capable of independent signaling on monocytic cells and that protein tyrosine phosphorylation is an obligatory proximal signal for Fc gamma RII-mediated endocytosis. Furthermore, the signaling pathways employed by Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RII are likely to be distinct.

Abstract Platelet contain Fc gamma RII. However, little is known about how the expression of these receptors is regulated. Inasmuch as platelet activation by a variety of agonists increases the expression of several proteins on the platelet surface, we used flow cytometry to study the effect of platelet activation on the expression of platelet Fc gamma R by measuring the binding of fluorescein-labeled oligomeric IgG (FITC-IgG oligomer) and fluorescein-labeled mAb IV.3 (FITC-IV.3), a mAb that recognizes Fc gamma RII, to platelets. The number of Fc gamma R per platelet was determined by relating the binding to platelets of FITC-IV.3, measured by flow cytometry, to the binding of 125I-labeled IV.3, measured using a standard filtration assay. Nonactivated, gel-filtered platelets from nine healthy donors expressed a mean of 891 Fc gamma R per platelet, whereas platelets activated at 25 degrees C by thrombin or PMA expressed a mean of 1382 Fc gamma R an average increase of 55% (p less than 0.001). Binding of FITC-IgG oligomer increased to a similar extent when platelets were stimulated by these agonists. A smaller increase in the number of Fc gamma R expressed on the platelet surface was measured when platelets were stimulated with ADP, though no increase was observed with epinephrine. The agonist-dependent increase in Fc gamma R expression did not occur when platelets were studied at 4 degrees C or in the presence of agents that elevate intracellular levels of cAMP, suggesting that platelet activation was required for this process. Agonist-stimulated Fc gamma R expression did not depend on dense-granule secretion, because it was observed at low agonist concentrations in the absence of 14C-serotonin release. These studies demonstrate that the number of Fc gamma R expressed on the platelet surface increases when platelets are activated by several agonists, perhaps as a result of the exposure of Fc gamma R located along the surface-connected open canalicular system, or the fusion of platelet alpha-granule and plasma membranes during the activation process. Increased Fc gamma R expression may promote the clearance of IgG-containing immune complexes from the circulation, and contribute to the development of immune complex-mediated thrombocytopenia.

Abstract The Fc receptor (Fc gamma R) of the murine macrophage cell line, J774, was purified by immunoaffinity chromatography then subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and amino-terminal sequencing. FcR material judged to be pure by these criteria was digested with a number of enzymes to identify the cysteine residues engaged in disulfide bonds within the native structure. The results clearly establish that the mouse macrophage Fc gamma R contains two intrachain disulfide bonds, each of which connects adjacent cysteine residues within the two putative extracellular domains of the molecule. In addition, each disulfide-bonded domain was shown to contain two authentic sites of N-linked glycosylation. Extensive peptide sequencing resulted in the unexpected identification of peptide fragments from a fourth Fc gamma R whose sequences were highly homologous to sequences surrounding the two Cys residues in the amino-terminal domain of both alpha and beta 1 Fc gamma R. The fourth Fc gamma R contains a disulfide-bonded amino-terminal domain similar to beta 1 Fc gamma R.

Ligand binding specificities of two cloned murine Fc gamma Rs (Fc gamma R-alpha, Fc gamma R-beta [9]) were determined by gene transfer into Fc gamma R negative cell lines. Both receptors were expressed as full-length molecules capable of IgG immune complex binding that was inhibitable by the mAb 2.4G2. The ligand binding profiles of these receptors were indistinguishable whereby both bound immune-complexed mouse IgG1, IgG2a, and IgG2b, but not IgG3. Neither receptor could bind monomeric IgG2a, indicating these receptors to be low-affinity IgG Fc receptors. Accumulation of the Fc gamma R-alpha mRNA can be induced with murine IFN-gamma at a concentration of 200 U/ml in the macrophage-like cell lines RAW 264.7 and J774a. The time course for induction indicates that the mRNA accumulation is transient but does not return to the uninduced level even after 50 h of treatment. Fc gamma R-beta mRNA was not induced by IFN-gamma, rather its expression was down modulated in mouse peritoneal macrophages. Both RAW and J774a cells lines exhibited increased receptor levels after IFN-gamma stimulation as measured by 125I-2.4G2 and ligand binding. In the absence of IFN-gamma, the RAW and J774a cell lines were minimally phagocytic, while P388D1 cells were actively phagocytic. In the presence of IFN-gamma, however, RAW 264.7 and J774a cells were induced to become actively phagocytic. Induction of Fc gamma R-alpha mRNA and protein by IFN-gamma may be part of the process by which macrophages become activated to engulf antibody-coated particles.

Abstract To further understand the mechanism(s) of antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) by various effector populations, we have examined the extracellular Ca++ and Mg++ requirements for ADCC performed by lymphocytes, monocytes, polymorphonuclear leukocytes and peritoneal macrophages. We have used the anti-Fc gamma R-bearing hybridoma cell lines (HC) as self directed targets for ADCC to analyse the triggering ability of each of the three defined Fc gamma R; Fc gamma RI, Fc gamma RII, and Fc gamma RIII. Lymphocyte killing of the anti-Fc gamma RIII bearing HC (HC 3G8) was Ca++ dependent, but Mg++ independent. In contrast, monocytes and PMN killed the anti-Fc gamma RI- (HC 32) and the anti-Fc gamma RII- (HC IV.3) bearing HC in a Mg++-dependent, Ca++-independent fashion. In addition, freshly prepared monocytes were able to kill HC 3G8 in a Mg++-dependent, Ca++-independent fashion, indicating that low levels of Fc gamma RIII may be functionally detected on monocytes. Peritoneal macrophages were able to kill all three of the anti-Fc gamma R bearing HC in a Mg++-dependent, Ca++-independent fashion. Thus, the same target is lysed by myeloid cells in the presence of Mg++ without Ca++ and by lymphoid cells in the presence of Ca++ without Mg++. These results suggest that at least two distinct mechanisms of ADCC exist that depend on the type of effector cell mediating antibody-dependent killing and not necessarily on the Fc gamma R type triggered.

Abstract Previous studies have implicated protein kinase C (PKC) as a mediator in the activation of macrophages by interferons. In order to probe further into the suspected role of protein kinase C in mouse peritoneal macrophage activation, the effects of protein kinase inhibitors in macrophage Fc gamma R and Ia Ag expression were studied. The protein kinase inhibitor, H7, reduced basal levels, and inhibited IFN-alpha-induced expression of Fc gamma R significantly. The concentration of H7 required to inhibit 50% of the Fc gamma R induction was approximately 12 microM, which reflects the previously reported affinity of this compound for PKC in vitro. H7 had only a minimal effect on IFN-gamma-induced Fc gamma R, suggesting different pathways of Fc gamma R induction by the two types of IFN. Ia induction by IFN-gamma was also inhibited by H7, indicating that both types of IFN can utilize PKC to mediate at least part of the signal required for Fc gamma R or Ia expression. HA-1004, a derivative of H7 which possesses high affinity for cyclic nucleotide-dependent protein kinases, but low affinity for PKC, did not alter induction, while H8, a slightly less effective PKC inhibitor than H7, was effective at higher concentrations. Another structurally distinct PKC antagonist, staurosporine, was also effective inhibiting IFN-alpha-induced Fc gamma R and IFN-gamma-induced Ia Ag expression, providing additional evidence that PKC is important. H7 was found to be effective when added as late as several hours after IFN treatment, indicating a prolonged or delayed requirement of PKC for optimal induction of Ia and Fc gamma R by IFN.

Abstract Serum samples from 147 patients with different systemic autoimmune diseases (SLE, Sjögren's syndrome, and progressive systemic sclerosis) were tested for anti-Fc gamma R activity using mouse rFc gamma RII in an ELISA. High reactivity compared to normal individuals was found for patients with all three diseases. The anti-Fc gamma R antibody was purified from several serum samples by affinity chromatography on a Sepharose column coupled with denatured, murine rFc gamma RII. Both IgM and IgG antibodies were found. To analyze the specificity of the affinity-purified autoantibody, cells (human neutrophils, IFN-gamma-stimulated neutrophils, monocytes, and the THP-1 monocytic cell line) that express different combinations of Fc gamma R (CD64, CD32, CD16) were stained with the affinity purified Ig. Ig directed against all three types of Fc gamma R were found. The results may reflect on the role of Fc gamma R-specific antibodies in the pathology of autoimmune diseases.

Abstract Activation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) plays an important role in vascular injury associated with systemic vasculitis and in models of autoantibody- and immune complex-mediated disease. The potential role of intravascular activation of PMN, however, is confounded by the observation that some stimuli injected i.v. (e.g., IL-8 and C5a) lead to L-selectin shedding by PMN, which inhibits attachment to endothelium and may be functionally anti-inflammatory. To explore the impact of Fc gamma receptor (Fc gamma R)-mediated activation on the PMN adhesive phenotype, Fc gamma RIIa (CD32) and Fc gamma RIIIb (Cd16) were targeted with receptor-specific reagents, and the expression of adhesion molecules-mediating rolling (L-selectin) and firm adhesion (CD11b/CD18) was measured. Engagement of either Fc gamma RIIa or Fc gamma RIIIb leads to activation, demonstrated by degranulation (upregulation of CD66b), and to increased expression of total CD11b/CD18 and functional CD11b/CD18 (I-domain). In contrast, L-selectin shedding induced by PMN Fc gamma R was divergent. Despite the 5- to 10-fold greater expression and engagement at saturation, activation via Fc gamma RIIIb led to little or no change in L-selectin expression. Stimulation of PMN with intact murine anti-receptor IgG1 showed a contribution of Fc gamma RIIa receptor polymorphisms, underscoring the direct influences of Fc gamma R allotypes on receptor function. These observations suggest that Fc gamma RIIIb-mediated activation of circulating PMN may lead to a proadhesive phenotype likely to promote systemic vascular damage. This Fc gamma R-mediated adhesive phenotype will vary with the receptors engaged and their allotypes, which, in turn, reflect properties of the immune complex and the genetics of the host.

Abstract It is known that antibodies to dengue viruses at subneutralizing concentrations enhance dengue virus infection of Fc gamma R+ cells. This phenomenon called antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) occurs when virus-antibody complexes bind to the Fc gamma R via the Fc portion of the Ig. It has been hypothesized that ADE may be responsible for the pathogenesis of the severe manifestations of dengue virus infection including dengue hemorrhagic fever/dengue shock syndrome. To further analyze the mechanisms of ADE, we prepared bispecific antibodies by chemically cross-linking antidengue virus antibodies to antibodies specific for Fc gamma RI or Fc gamma RII and the non-Fc R molecules beta2 microglobulin, CD15 or CD33 and examined whether these bispecific antibodies could enhance infection. Bispecific antibodies targeting dengue virus to Fc gamma RI or Fc gamma RII enhanced dengue virus infection, consistent with previous reports using conventional antibodies. Furthermore, bispecific antibodies targeting dengue virus to beta2 microglobulin, CD15 or CD33 also enhanced dengue virus infection. Bispecific antibody mediated ADE was inhibited by pretreating the cells with the appropriate blocking mAb. These results indicate that cell surface molecules other than Fc gamma R can mediate ADE and suggest that the Fc gamma R does not provide a unique signal necessary for enhanced infection. We hypothesize that directing dengue virus to the cell surface by a bispecific antibody facilitates the interaction between dengue virus and its receptor, thereby increasing its infectivity.

Abstract Rat mAbs receive considerable interest for immunologic intervention in man. The rat IgG2b isotype has previously been found to be optimally active both in vivo and in vitro. We found that both a rat IgG2b CD3 mAb and a monovalent hybrid rat IgG2b-mouse IgG1 bispecific Ab triggered T cell activation in PBMC. Inhibition analyses with mAb blocking different human IgG Fc receptors (Fc gamma R) showed a dimorphic pattern. In donors expressing an Fc gamma RIIa-R/R131 allotype (previously defined on the basis of interaction with mouse (m) IgG1 as "high responder") anti-Fc gamma RI mAb 197 inhibited rat IgG2b induced T cell mitogenesis almost completely. In Fc gamma RIIa-H/H131 ("low responder" allotype) donors, however, both anti-Fc gamma RI mAb 197 and anti-Fc gamma RII mAb IV.3 were essential for optimal inhibition of mitogenesis. T cell proliferation experiments performed with the use of Fc gamma R-transfected fibroblasts as accessory cells showed the high affinity Fc gamma RIa (CD64) to interact with both rat IgG2b and rat IgG2b-mlgG1 hybrid CD3 mAb. The use of the two types of Fc gamma RIIa (CD32)-transfectants instead showed rat IgG2b CD3 mAb to interact solely with the IIa-H/H131 allotype. Interestingly, rat IgG2b-mlgG1 hybrid mAb did not interact effectively with this low affinity Fc gamma R. This suggests a requirement for only one rat IgG2b H chain for Fc gamma RIa-mediated binding, whereas two identical H chains seem to be necessary for proper interaction with Fc gamma RIIa. Ab-sensitized RBC-rosette experiments performed with the use of a rat IgG2b anti-NIP mAb confirmed the interaction pattern observed with rat CD3 mAb, supporting the phenomena to be isotype-, and not mAb-, dependent. These analyses point to a unique reactivity pattern for rat IgG2b Abs, interacting both with the high affinity Fc gamma RIa in all donors and Fc gamma RIIa of individuals expressing the IIa-H131 allotype.

Abstract Human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) express two classes of Fc gamma R: Fc gamma RII the 42-kDa receptor with a traditional membrane spanning domain and cytoplasmic tail and Fc gamma RIIIPMN the 50- to 80-kDa receptor with a glycosyl-phatidylinositol membrane anchor expressed on PMN. To explore the capacity of Fc gamma RIIIPMN to generate intracellular signals, we have analyzed the ability of Fab and F(ab')2 anti-Fc gamma R mAb to induce actin filament assembly, a prerequisite for motile behaviors. Multivalent ligation of Fc gamma RIIIPMN, independent of Fc gamma RII, results in an increase in F-actin content that is [Ca2+]i dependent. Multivalent ligation of Fc gamma RII also initiates actin polymerization but uses a [Ca2+]i-independent initial pathway. In addition to providing a mechanism for Fc gamma RIIIPMN triggered effector functions, the increase in F-actin and [Ca2+]i generated by Fc gamma RIIIPMN ligation also serves as a "priming" signal to modify PMN responses to other stimuli. Experiments using erythrocytes specifically coated with anti-Fc gamma RII Fab demonstrate that cross-linking of Fc gamma RIIIPMN with anti-Fc gamma RIII F(ab')2 enhances phagocytosis mediated by Fc gamma RII. Thus, Fc gamma RIIIPMN, a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol anchored protein, may contribute directly to an intracellular program of actin assembly that may trigger and prime neutrophil effector functions.
