Macrophage receptors for the Fc portion of IgG play an important role in host defense, inflammation, and the pathophysiology of autoimmune disorders. We studied one important function of Fc gamma receptors--the ability to bind IgG ligand. Direct binding experiments analyzed by nonlinear regression were consistent with monomeric and trimeric IgG binding to a single class of receptors. Indirect binding experiments were also consistent with this interpretation and revealed that both IgG ligands completely inhibited the binding of the other. In addition, we used an anti-Fc gamma RII monoclonal antibody known to compete for the Fc gamma RII ligand binding site and known to inhibit IgG trimer binding to other cells. At concentrations of antibody which saturated all Fc gamma RII sites, no inhibition of IgG trimer binding to U-937 was observed. This was evident despite the observation that the numbers of Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RII, determined by equilibrium binding of monomeric IgG and anti-Fc gamma RII antibody, respectively, were similar on U-937. Monoclonal antibodies were used to compare the expression and modulation of Fc gamma receptor proteins with their ability to bind monomeric and trimeric IgG ligands. Dexamethasone and gamma-interferon regulated U-937 Fc gamma RI protein expression and IgG ligand binding to a similar degree. In contrast, the expression of Fc gamma RII was not altered by dexamethasone. Interferon-gamma primarily stimulated Fc gamma RI, as determined both by reactivity with monoclonal antibody (227 +/- 26%) and by monomeric IgG ligand binding (350 +/- 151%). In addition, dexamethasone inhibited by 33% the gamma-interferon effect on Fc gamma RI protein and by 56% the effect on Fc gamma RI binding of monomeric IgG. Preincubation of U-937 with anti-Fc gamma RII antibody did not alter the effect of dexamethasone or gamma-interferon on IgG trimer binding. These data indicate that on U-937 cells Fc gamma RII does not function in the recognition of small molecular weight immune complexes and that Fc gamma RI is the Fc gamma receptor responsible for the binding of both monomeric and trimeric human IgG. Furthermore, Fc gamma RI is the major Fc gamma receptor on U-937 that is modulated by both gamma-interferon and glucocorticoids. 相似文献

A novel type of succinoyl trehalose lipid (STL-1) prepared from n-hexadecane-culture ofRhodococcus erythropolis SD-74 markedly inhibited the growth of a human monocytoid leukemic cell line, U937, and induced its morphological alteration along a monocyte-macrophage lineage. STL-1 markedly increased differentiation-associated characteristics in macrophage, such as nitroblue tetrazolium reducing ability, appearance of Fc receptor, phagocytic activities in U937. Furthermore, U937 cells, which were activated with STL-1 exhibited cytotoxic activity against human lung carcinoma cell line A549. However, STL-1 did not affect growth of a normal human fetal lung cell line TIG-1. The individual components of STL-1, neither sugar moiety nor fatty acids in the free form, were effective at inducing the differentiation of U937 cell. From these results, we concluded that STL-1 has low cytotoxicity against normal human cells and the ester molecule itself is responsible for the activity of inducing differentiation of human monocytoid leukemic cell line U937 into monocyte-macrophage which results in the stimulation of the production of some cytotoxic substances. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

C-reactive protein (CRP) is an acute-phase protein that binds to components of damage tissue, activates C, and stimulates phagocytic cells. CRP binding to receptors on monocytic and polymorphonuclear phagocytes has been shown. Recently, CRP-binding proteins of 38 to 40 kDa and 57 to 60 kDa have been identified on the human promonocyte cell line U-937 and the mouse macrophage cell line PU5 1.8, respectively. However, analysis of CRP binding to these cells and to peripheral blood leukocytes suggests that additional CRP receptor sites may be present. Because many studies have shown interactions between CRP binding and IgG binding to leukocytes, we have examined further the CRP binding sites on U-937 cells and determined their relationship to the FcR for IgG (Fc gamma R) expressed on these cells. Our results demonstrate specific saturable binding of CRP to peripheral blood monocytes and U-937 cells, which is readily inhibited by aggregated IgG. Monomeric IgG, which binds specifically to Fc gamma RI, inhibited a maximum of 20% of CRP binding to these cells. mAb 197 and mAb IV.3, which block IgG binding to Fc gamma RI and Fc gamma RII, respectively, failed to inhibit CRP binding to U-937 cells. Two CRP-binding molecules were identified by precipitation of lysates from surface-labeled U-937 cells and cross-linking experiments. One of these had a molecular mass of 43 to 45 kDa, similar to the molecule previously described as the CRPR on U-937 cells. The other had the same mobility by SDS-PAGE as Fc gamma RI. The identity of this protein with Fc gamma RI was confirmed by the ability of both IgG-Sepharose and CRP-Sepharose to preclear the protein from cell lysates and by inhibition of binding to both IgG-Sepharose and CRP-Sepharose by anti-Fc gamma RI mAb 197. 相似文献

Cross-linking the B cell Ag receptor (BCR) to surface Fc receptors for IgG (Fc gamma R) inhibits G1-to-S progression; the mechanism by which this occurs is not completely known. We investigated the regulation of three key cell cycle regulatory components by BCR-Fc gamma R co-cross-linking: G1-cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinases (Cdks), and the retinoblastoma gene product (Rb). Rb functions to suppress G1-to-S progression in mammalian cells. Rb undergoes cell-cycle-dependent phosphorylation, leading to its inactivation and thereby promoting S phase entry. We demonstrate in this paper for the first time that BCR-induced Rb phosphorylation is abrogated by co-cross-linking with Fc gamma R. The activation of Cdk4/6- and Cdk2-dependent Rb protein kinases is concomitantly blocked. Fc gamma R-mediated inhibition of Cdk2 activity results in part from an apparent failure to express Cdk2 protein. By contrast, inhibition of Cdk4/6 activities is not due to suppression of Cdk4/6 or cyclins D2/D3 expression or inhibition of Cdk-activating kinase activity. Cdk4- and Cdk6-immune complexes recovered from B cells following BCR-Fc gamma R co-cross-linking are devoid of coprecipitated D-type cyclins, indicating that inhibition of their Rb protein kinase activities is due in part to the absence of bound D-type cyclin. Thus, BCR-derived activation signals that up-regulate D-type cyclin and Cdk4/6 protein expression remain intact; however, Fc gamma R-mediated signals block cyclin D-Cdk4/6 assembly or stabilization. These results suggest that assembly or stabilization of D-type cyclin holoenzyme complexes 1) is an important step in the activation of Cdk4/6 by BCR signals, and 2) suffice in providing a mechanism to account for inhibition of BCR-stimulated Rb protein phosphorylation by Fc gamma R. 相似文献

The data on a study of the monokine-producing ability of human monocyte-like cell line U937 are presented. Antigens of Yersinia pestis EV (lipopolysaccharide and fraction 1A) induce monokine production by cell line U937. The obtained monokines essentially enhance neutrophil killer and chemotactic activities, stimulate FcR expression, increase the number of lysosomes, and the lability of lysosomal membranes in neutrophils. F1A significantly suppresses LPS in respect to the ability to induce monokine production, which stimulate neutrophil functional activity. 相似文献

Apoptosis of neutrophils at sites of inflammation in vivo is thought to lead to their recognition and safe elimination by macrophages. Little is known, however, about the regulation of apoptosis in myeloid cells. We report here that the human promonocytic leukemic cell line, U937, and mature human neutrophils can be induced to become apoptotic when cultured with interleukin-6. Apoptosis of U937 cells, assessed morphologically and by the presence of DNA fragmentation, was increased significantly in a dose-dependent fashion by concentrations of 0.5-100 ng/ml interleukin-6. Apoptosis of U937 cells was evident after 48 h of incubation with 20 ng/ml interleukin-6, and the effect was eliminated by adsorption of interleukin-6 with a specific monoclonal antibody. Apoptosis was not evident in the presence of the differentiating agent phorbol 12-myristate 13 acetate; the induction of apoptosis in U937 cells was not therefore a consequence of differentiation. Apoptosis of mature neutrophils was enhanced after 24 h in culture with interleukin-6. Interleukin-6 might be an important factor in the normal resolution of inflammation through the induction of apoptosis of neutrophils. 相似文献

U937 cells were differentiated into macrophages after being treated with 12-o-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA) for the first two days and dedifferentiated with daily medium renewal for 10 days. Cell proliferation slowed down and the number of cells reached the maximum level on day 2. By day 4, all of the cells had spread and attached firmly to the culture dish, and more than 90% of the cells expressed the Fc-receptor and produced superoxide anion. From there on, the number of adherent, living cells decreased gradually to about half the initial count. Most of the cells eliminated from the culture by cell death were in the S phase at the time of TPA treatment. After day 8, the number of cells expressing macrophage-specific phenotypes gradually decreased, cell adhesion was weakened, and at the same time, DNA synthesis was initiated anew. The cells became round and began to proliferate as floating cells on days 9 to 10, and thereafter they became sensitive to the second round of TPA treatment. On the basis of all the results taken together, it is suggested that fully differentiated U937 cells were dedifferentiated after being cultured with frequent medium renewal. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

U937 cells were found to be activated by an antibacterial peptide, KLKLLLLLKLK-NH2 (L5), to generate superoxide anion (O2-)-like peripheral neutrophils. However, the state of cell surface calreticulin, a possible receptor for L5, was suggested to differ between neutrophils and U937 cells. Unlike the former, the latter ones were activated by anti-C-domain peptide antibody of calreticulin even in the absence of L5 and generated O2- in a GTP-binding protein (G-protein)-dependent manner. 相似文献

Experimental gene transfer has permitted a wide variety of studies on gene regulation and function. However, possible effects of the introduced DNA on cellular metabolism are not well understood. Here we demonstrated that introduction of DNA into a promonocytic cell line, U937, by electroporation caused extensive cell death. The toxicity of DNA was concentration-dependent. Various DNAs including plasmid and genomic DNAs all caused cell death, indicating that the toxicity is nucleotide sequence-independent. DNA-induced cell death was associated with internucleosomal DNA fragmentation, a decrease in cell size, and a considerable proportion of cells outside cell cycle. From these results, we concluded that cells died by apoptosis. Our findings have experimental implication for an important issue concerning the interpretation of experiments using gene transfer. In addition, we propose that our observed phenomenon may be relevant to an important immune defense mechanism in monocytes/macrophages that facilitates a response to certain viral infections. 相似文献

Activation of the respiratory burst in the monocytic cell line U937 by cross-linking human 40-kDa FcR for IgG (Fc gamma RII) with the IgG1 mAb, CIKM5, is dependent on the maturation state of the cell. Addition of anti-Fc gamma RII to undifferentiated cells does not activate the respiratory burst but differentiation with human rIFN-gamma (200 U/ml) for 13 to 15 days results in maximal stimulation by this agonist, with half-maximal responses in cells incubated for 10 to 12 days. During maturation the development of responsiveness to cross-linking Fc gamma RII occurs later than the development of responsiveness to the phorbol ester 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (maximal responses at 7 to 9 days), or the chemotactic peptide FMLP (half-maximal responses at 7 to 9 days). The late development of maximal Fc gamma RII responses is not associated with either increased Fc gamma RII expression, enhanced calcium mobilization induced by anti-Fc gamma RII, changes in protein kinase C activity (PKC) or a switch in PKC isotype expression. Activation of the respiratory burst via Fc gamma RII may not be mediated by activation of PKC as the kinase inhibitors 1-(5-isoquinolinesulfonyl)-2-methylpiperazine dihydrochloride and N-[2-(methylamino)ethyl]-5-isoquinolinesulfonamide dihydrochloride inhibited the Fc gamma RII response by less than 20% at concentrations which inhibit the 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced respiratory burst by more than 80%. IFN-gamma U937 cells did not metabolize incorporated arachidonate into eicosanoids when stimulated with anti-Fc gamma RII, suggesting that eicosanoids do not mediate activation of the respiratory burst, and this was confirmed by the lack of inhibition by the specific 5'-lipoxygenase and glutathione S-transferase inhibitor, piriprost, and the cyclo-oxygenase inhibitor, indomethacin. In addition there was no significant release of radiolabeled arachidonate in response to anti-Fc gamma RII. The response to anti-Fc gamma RII is inhibited by pertussis toxin, suggesting that signal transduction is via a GTP-binding protein. Agents that elevate intracellular cAMP increased the magnitude of the cAMP transients stimulated by anti-Fc gamma RII and also inhibited the respiratory burst. FMLP responses showed a similar pattern of sensitivity to this range of inhibitors, suggesting that both Fc gamma RII and FMLP receptor share common regulatory mechanisms. However, the termination of the respiratory burst activated via Fc gamma RII and FMLP receptor is independently regulated, in that after FMLP-induced activation there is no subsequent inhibition of the Fc gamma RII-mediated response and vice versa. 相似文献

The appearance of phospholipase activity in the human macrophage-like cell line U937 during dimethyl sulfoxide induced differentiation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The human histiocyte cell line, U937, with monocyte characteristics, can be induced to differentiate into macrophage-like cells when exposed to growth medium containing 1.5% DMSO. Following three days of exposure, DMSO-treated but not control U937 cells can be stimulated to release endogenous arachidonic acid from their phospholipids. Maximum release of the unsaturated fatty acid occurs with 10 microM calcium ionophore in the presence but not in the absence of exogenously added calcium ion. In addition, DMSO-treated but not control U937 cells exhibit phospholipase activity when exposed to human IgG and then anti-human immunoglobulin. These data suggest that with respect to arachidonic acid metabolism U937 cells differentiate into functional macrophage-like cells when exposed to DMSO. 相似文献

The ability of lithium to interfere with phosphoinositide metabolism in rat cerebral cortex slices has been examined by monitoring the accumulation of CMP-phosphatidate (CMP-PtdOH) and the reduction in Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 levels. A small accumulation of [14C]CMP-PtdOH was seen in slices prelabelled with [14C]cytidine and stimulated with carbachol (1 mM) or Li+ (1 mM). However, simultaneous addition of both agents for 30 min produced a 22-fold accumulation, with Li+ producing a half-maximal effect at a concentration of 0.61 +/- 0.19 mM. Kinetic studies revealed that the effects of carbachol and Li+ on CMP-PtdOH accumulation occurred with no initial lag apparent under these conditions and that preincubation with myo-inositol (10 or 30 mM) dramatically attenuated CMP-PtdOH accumulation. myo-Inositol could also attenuate the rate of accumulation of CMP-PtdOH when added 20 min after carbachol and Li+; these effects were not observed when equimolar concentrations of scyllo-inositol were added. Use of specific radioreceptor assays allowed the mass accumulations of Ins(1,4,5)P3 and Ins(1,3,4,5)P4 to be monitored. Following a lag of 5-10 min, Li+ resulted in a marked reduction in the accumulation of both inositol polyphosphates resulting from muscarinic-cholinergic stimulation. Preincubation of cerebral cortex slices with myo- (but not scyllo-) inositol delayed, but did not prevent, the reduction in the accumulation of Ins(1,4,5)P3 or Ins(1,3,4,5)P4. The results suggest that cerebral cortex, at least in vitro, is very sensitive to myo-inositol depletion under conditions of muscarinic receptor stimulation. The relationship of such depletion to the generation of inositol polyphosphate second messengers is discussed. 相似文献

Secretion of complement component C3 by U937 cells was studied. Preliminary evidence for a cell-associated proteolytic activity specific for C3 is given, as well as for a covalent-like binding of C3 fragments to the cell membranes. Secretion of C3, in the presence of 10 ng of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate/ml, is 120-140 ng/10(6) cells per 24 h on the third day after addition of the activator. As shown by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, the intracellular pro-C3 (200 kDa) and the extracellular secreted C3 (alpha-chain 110 kDa and beta-chain 75 kDa) are identical with the forms of C3 previously characterized from human serum. Incubation of U937 cells in the presence of exogenous radiolabelled C3 shows that membrane-bound proteinase(s), not related to the classical-pathway or the alternative-pathway C3 convertases, is (are) able to cleave C3; this cleavage leads to the binding of the resulting C3 fragments to the cell membrane through reaction of membrane acceptors with the carbonyl group of C3 revealed after disruption of the intramolecular thioester bond. The proteolysis appears to be fairly specific to C3, as C4, which also possesses an intramolecular thioester bond, is not cleaved and does not bind to the cells. p-Nitrophenyl p'-guanidinobenzoate (1 mM) and di-isopropyl phosphorofluoridate (2 mM) are potent inhibitors of the proteolysis, whereas soya-bean trypsin inhibitor (1 mM), leupeptin (0.1 mg/ml) and 1,10-phenanthroline (1 mM) were ineffective. Immunological characterization of the cell-bound C3 fragments with monoclonal antibodies shows an evolution of the proteolysis of the fragments from iC3b to C3dg epitopes. Extraction of membrane-bound fragments by detergent, followed by SDS/polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, shows two fragments, of 43 kDa and 46 kDa, with C3dg-like characteristics. 相似文献
