IgG transcytosis and recycling by FcRn expressed in MDCK cells reveals ligand-induced redistribution
The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) transports IgG across epithelial cells and recycles serum IgG. FcRn binds IgG at the acidic pH of endosomes and releases IgG at the basic pH of blood. We expressed rat FcRn in polarized MDCK cells and demonstrated that it functions in transcytosis and recycling of IgG. In the absence of IgG, FcRn is distributed predominantly apically, but redistributes to basolateral locations upon IgG addition, indicating that ligand binding induces a signal that stimulates transcytosis. FcRn transcytoses IgG more efficiently in the apical to basolateral than the reverse direction when IgG is internalized by receptor-mediated endocytosis at acidic pH or by fluid phase endocytosis at basic pH. The PI 3-kinase inhibitor wortmannin disrupts basolateral recycling and transcytosis in both directions, but only minimally reduces apical recycling. Confocal imaging and quantitative IgG transport studies demonstrate that apically-internalized IgG recycles to the apical surface mainly from wortmannin-insensitive apical early endosomes, whereas FcRn-IgG complexes that transcytose to the basolateral surface pass through downstream Rab11-positive apical recycling endosomes and transferrin-positive common endosomal compartments. 相似文献

The Fc receptor FcRn traffics immunoglobulin G (IgG) in both directions across polarized epithelial cells that line mucosal surfaces, contributing to host defense. We show that FcRn traffics IgG from either apical or basolateral membranes into the recycling endosome (RE), after which the actin motor myosin Vb and the GTPase Rab25 regulate a sorting step that specifies transcytosis without affecting recycling. Another regulatory component of the RE, Rab11a, is dispensable for transcytosis, but regulates recycling to the basolateral membrane only. None of these proteins affect FcRn trafficking away from lysosomes. Thus, FcRn transcytotic and recycling sorting steps are distinct. These results are consistent with a single structurally and functionally heterogeneous RE compartment that traffics FcRn to both cell surfaces while discriminating between recycling and transcytosis pathways polarized in their direction of transport. 相似文献

A family of five peptides was previously discovered by phage display techniques that binds to the human neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) and inhibits the human IgG:human FcRn protein-protein interaction [Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.2008, 105, 2337-2342]. The consensus peptide motif consists of the sequence GHFGGXY where X is preferably a hydrophobic amino acid, and also includes a disulfide bridge enclosing 11-amino acids in varying positions about the consensus sequence. We describe herein the structure-activity relationships of one of the five peptides in binding to FcRn using surface plasmon resonance and IgG:FcRn competition ELISA assays. Modifications of the peptide length, cyclization, and the incorporation of amino acid substitutions and dipeptide mimetics were studied. The most potent analogs exhibited a 50- to 100-fold improvement of in vitro activity over that of the phage-identified peptide sequence. 相似文献

The airway epithelium is a central player in the defense against pathogens including efficient mucociliary clearance and secretion of immunoglobulins, mainly polymeric IgA, but also IgG. Pulmonary administration of therapeutic antibodies on one hand, and intranasal immunization on the other, are powerful tools to treat airway infections. In either case, the airway epithelium is the primary site of antibody transfer. In various epithelia, bi-polar transcytosis of IgG and IgG immune complexes is mediated by the human neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn, but FcRn expression in the nasal epithelium had not been demonstrated, so far. We prepared affinity-purified antibodies against FcRn α-chain and confirmed their specificity by Western blotting and immunofluorescence microscopy. These antibodies were used to study the localization of FcRn α-chain in fixed nasal tissue. We here demonstrate for the first time that ciliated epithelial cells, basal cells, gland cells, and endothelial cells in the underlying connective tissue express the receptor. A predominant basolateral steady state distribution of the receptor was observed in ciliated epithelial as well as in gland cells. Co-localization of FcRn α-chain with IgG or with early sorting endosomes (EEA1-positive) but not with late endosomes/lysosomes (LAMP-2-positive) in ciliated cells was observed. This is indicative for the presence of the receptor in the recycling/transcytotic pathway but not in compartments involved in lysosomal degradation supporting the role of FcRn in IgG transcytosis in the nasal epithelium. 相似文献

Protein delivery across polarized epithelia is controlled by receptor‐mediated transcytosis. Many studies have examined basolateral‐to‐apical trafficking of polymeric IgA (pIgA) by the polymeric immunoglobulin receptor (pIgR). Less is known about apical‐to‐basolateral transcytosis, the direction the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) transports maternal IgGs across intestinal epithelia. To compare apical‐to‐basolateral and basolateral‐to‐apical transcytosis, we co‐expressed FcRn and pIgR in Madin‐Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells and used pulse‐chase experiments with confocal microscopy to examine transport of apically applied IgG Fcγ and basolaterally applied pIgA. Fcγ and pIgA trafficking routes were initially separate but intermixed at later chase times. Fcγ was first localized near the apical surface, but became more equally distributed across the cell, consistent with concomitant transcytosis and recycling. By contrast, pIgA transport was strongly unidirectional: pIgA shifted from near the basolateral surface to an apical location with increasing time. Some Fcγ and pIgA fluorescence colocalized in early (EEA1‐positive), recycling (Rab11a‐positive), and transferrin (Tf)‐positive common/basolateral recycling endosomes. Fcγ became more enriched in Tf‐positive endosomes with time, whereas pIgA was sorted from these compartments. Live‐cell imaging revealed that vesicles containing Fcγ or pIgA shared similar mobility characteristics and were equivalently affected by depolymerizing microtubules, indicating that both trafficking routes depended to roughly the same extent on intact microtubules. 相似文献

Ligand valency affects transcytosis, recycling and intracellular trafficking mediated by the neonatal Fc receptor 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) transports IgG across epithelial cell barriers to provide maternal antibodies to offspring and serves as a protection receptor by rescuing endocytosed IgG and albumin from lysosomal degradation. Here we describe the generation of polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells expressing rat FcRn (rFcRn) to investigate the potential requirement for ligand bivalency in FcRn-mediated transport. The rFcRn-MDCK cells bind, internalize and bidirectionally transcytose the bivalent ligands IgG and Fc across polarized cell monolayers. However, they cannot be used to study FcRn-mediated transport of the monovalent ligand albumin, as we observe no specific binding, internalization or transcytosis of rat albumin. To address whether ligand bivalency is required for transport, the ability of rFcRn to transcytose and recycle wild-type Fc homodimers (wtFc; two FcRn-binding sites) and a heterodimeric Fc (hdFc; one FcRn-binding site) was compared. We show that ligand bivalency is not required for transcytosis or recycling, but that wtFc is transported more efficiently than hdFc, particularly at lower concentrations. We also demonstrate that hdFc and wtFc have different intracellular fates, with more hdFc than wtFc being trafficked to lysosomes and degraded, suggesting a role for avidity effects in FcRn-mediated IgG transport. 相似文献

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) restricts transport of immunoglobulin G (IgG) in the blood to brain direction. However, IgG undergoes rapid efflux in the brain to blood direction via reverse transcytosis across the BBB after direct intracerebral injection. This BBB IgG transport system has the characteristics of an Fc receptor (FcR), but there is no molecular information on the putative BBB FcR. The present study uses confocal microscopy and an antibody to the rat neonatal FcR (FcRn), and demonstrates the expression of the FcRn at the brain microvasculature and choroid plexus epithelium. Co-localization with the Glut1 glucose transporter indicates the brain microvascular FcRn is expressed in the capillary endothelium. The capillary endothelial FcRn may mediate the 'reverse transcytosis' of IgG in the brain to blood direction. 相似文献

The murine neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn, carries out two functions: materno-fetal IgG delivery and maintenance of serum IgG homeostasis. During human pregnancy maternal IgG is transferred across placental syncytiotrophoblasts presumably by the human homolog of FcRn, hFcRn. Trophoblast-derived BeWo cells express hFcRn endogenously and can be considered as a model system to investigate IgG transport in syncytiotrophoblasts. Using a pulse-chase protocol, we here demonstrate that polarized BeWo cells exhibit not only apical to basolateral transcytosis but also apical IgG recycling. Thus, for the first time we demonstrate that epithelial cells can be involved in both materno-fetal IgG transmission and regulation of serum IgG levels. Lowering the temperature from 37 to 16 degrees C reduced, but did not block, IgG recycling and transcytosis. Microtubule-disruption by nocodazole did not influence transcytosis or apical recycling. Disassembly of filamentous actin by cytochalasin D stimulated apical endocytosis and recycling, while transcytosis remained unaffected. In summary, in BeWo cells apically internalized IgG enters both a transcytotic and recycling pathway. While the transcytotic route is temperature-sensitive but independent from microtubules and actin filaments, the apical recycling pathway is temperature-influenced and stimulated by actin disassembly, suggestive for the involvement of distinct endosome subcompartments in transcytosis and recycling. 相似文献

The neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn, transports immunoglobulin G across intestinal cells in suckling rats. FcRn enters these cells by endocytosis and is present on the apical and basolateral surfaces. We investigated the roles of aromatic amino acids and a dileucine motif in the cytoplasmic domain of rat FcRn. We expressed mutant FcRn in which alanine replaced Trp-311, Leu-322, and Leu-323, or Phe-340 in the inner medullary collecting duct cell line IMCD. Individual replacement of the aromatic amino acids or the dileucine motif only partially blocked endocytosis of (125)I-Fc, whereas uptake by FcRn containing alanine residues in place of both Trp-311 and the dileucine motif was reduced to the level obtained with the tailless receptor. Leu-314 was required for the function of the tryptophan-based endocytosis signal, and Asp-317 and Asp-318 were required for the dileucine-based signal. Nonvectorial delivery of newly synthesized FcRn to the two cell surfaces was unaffected by loss of the endocytosis signals. However, the steady-state distribution of endocytosis mutants was predominantly apical, unlike wild-type FcRn, which was predominantly basolateral. This shift appeared to arise because the loss of endocytosis signals inhibited apical to basolateral transcytosis of FcRn more than basolateral to apical transcytosis. 相似文献

ABSTRACTA cell-based assay employing Madin–Darby canine kidney cells stably expressing human neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) heavy chain and β2-microglobulin genes was developed to measure transcytosis of monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) under conditions relevant to the FcRn-mediated immunoglobulin G (IgG) salvage pathway. The FcRn-dependent transcytosis assay is modeled to reflect combined effects of nonspecific interactions between mAbs and cells, cellular uptake via pinocytosis, pH-dependent interactions with FcRn, and dynamics of intracellular trafficking and sorting mechanisms. Evaluation of 53 mAbs, including 30 marketed mAb drugs, revealed a notable correlation between the transcytosis readouts and clearance in humans. FcRn was required to promote efficient transcytosis of mAbs and contributed directly to the observed correlation. Furthermore, the transcytosis assay correctly predicted rank order of clearance of glycosylation and Fv charge variants of Fc-containing proteins. These results strongly support the utility of this assay as a cost-effective and animal-sparing screening tool for evaluation of mAb-based drug candidates during lead selection, optimization, and process development for desired pharmacokinetic properties. 相似文献

Crystal structure at 2.8 A of an FcRn/heterodimeric Fc complex: mechanism of pH-dependent binding 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) transports immunoglobulin G (IgG) across epithelia, binding IgG in acidic vesicles (pH < or = 6.5) and releasing IgG in the blood at pH 7.4. Well-ordered FcRn/Fc crystals are prevented by the formation of "oligomeric ribbons" of FcRn dimers bridged by Fc homodimers, thus we crystallized a 1:1 complex between rat FcRn and a heterodimeric Fc containing only one FcRn binding site. The 2.8 A complex structure demonstrates that FcRn uses its alpha2 and beta2-microglobulin domains and carbohydrate to interact with the Fc C(gamma)2-C(gamma)3 interface. The structure reveals conformational changes in Fc and three titratable salt bridges that confer pH-dependent binding, and can be used to guide rational design of therapeutic IgGs with longer serum half-lives. 相似文献

FcRn is unique among immunoglobulin G (IgG) Fc receptors in that it is structurally closely related to major histocompatibility complex class I molecules and likewise consists of an alpha-chain and beta2-microglobulin. Crystallographic data show that rat FcRn alpha-chain/beta2m heterodimers can further dimerize via ionic interactions and a carbohydrate handshake. Intriguingly, however, no dimers are found in crystals of human FcRn, probably because the charged amino acids and the carbohydrate implicated in dimerization of rat FcRn are not conserved. Here, we show that although a secreted soluble form of human FcRn does not dimerize, the membrane-anchored receptor can form both non-covalent and covalent dimers. Furthermore, dimerization of human FcRn occurs in the absence of its ligand, IgG. 相似文献

The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) protects immunoglobulin G (IgG) from degradation and increases the serum half-life of IgG, thereby contributing to a higher concentration of IgG in the serum. Because altered FcRn binding may result in a reduced or prolonged half-life of IgG molecules, it is advisable to characterize Fc receptor binding of therapeutic antibody lead candidates prior to the start of pre-clinical and clinical studies.
In this study, we characterized the interactions between FcRn of different species (human, cynomolgus monkey, mouse and rat) and nine IgG molecules from different species and isotypes with common variable heavy (VH) and variable light chain (VL) domains. Binding was analyzed at acidic and neutral pH using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and biolayer interferometry (BLI).
Furthermore, we transferred the well-accepted, but low throughput SPR-based method for FcRn binding characterization to the BLI-based Octet platform to enable a higher sample throughput allowing the characterization of FcRn binding already during early drug discovery phase. We showed that the BLI-based approach is fit-for-purpose and capable of discriminating between IgG molecules with significant differences in FcRn binding affinities.
Using this high-throughput approach we investigated FcRn binding of 36 IgG molecules that represented all VH/VL region combinations available in the fully human, recombinant antibody library Ylanthia®. Our results clearly showed normal FcRn binding profiles for all samples. Hence, the variations among the framework parts, complementarity-determining region (CDR) 1 and CDR2 of the fragment antigen binding (Fab) domain did not significantly change FcRn binding. 相似文献

Transfer of passive immunity from the mother to the fetus or newborn involves the transport of IgG across several epithelia. Depending on the species, IgG is transported prenatally across the placenta and yolk sac or is absorbed from colostrum and milk by the small intestine of the suckling newborn. In both cases apical to basolateral transepithelial transport of IgG is thought to be mediated by FcRn, an IgG Fc receptor with homology to major histocompatibility class I antigens. Here, we analyzed the intracellular routing of chimera encoding the rat FcRn tail fused to the ecto- and transmembrane domain of the macrophage FcgammaRIIb. Newly synthesized chimera were delivered in a nonvectorial manner to the apical and basolateral cell surface, from where the chimera were able to internalize and transcytose. Apical to basolateral and basolateral to apical transcytosis were differently regulated. This intracellular routing of the chimera is similar to that of the native FcRn, indicating that the cytosolic tail of the receptor is necessary and sufficient to endow an unrelated FcR with the intracellular transport behavior of FcRn. Furthermore, the di-leucine motif in the cytosolic domain of FcRn was required for rapid and efficient endocytosis but not for basolateral sorting of the chimera. 相似文献

Serum half-life of IgG is controlled by the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) that interacts with the IgG Fc region and may be increased or decreased as a function of altered FcRn binding. Preclinical evaluations of modified IgGs are frequently carried out in mice, but such IgGs may bind differently to mouse and human FcRn (mFcRn and hFcRn). Here, we report a detailed characterization of a matched set of mouse-human chimeric T84.66 scFv-Fc variants with specificity for the tumor carcinoembryonic antigen and mutations in the FcRn-binding site. Binding to soluble mFcRn and hFcRn was measured using in vitro assays, and the results were compared with blood clearance in vivo in normal (mFcRn bearing) and hFcRn transgenic mice. All variants bound better to mFcRn than to hFcRn. The loss of affinity varied among the mutants, however, and also the hierarchy of binding differed depending on the receptor. The mutations had no major impact on binding to the classical Fcγ receptors. Importantly, the trend of blood clearance in both strains of mice correlated with the hierarchy of binding obtained using soluble FcRn. Consequently, in vitro interaction analysis of engineered IgGs regarding their cross-species FcRn binding ability provides information for prediction of in vivo pharmacokinetics. 相似文献

The neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) is expressed by cells of epithelial, endothelial and myeloid lineages and performs multiple roles in adaptive immunity. Characterizing the FcRn/IgG interaction is fundamental to designing therapeutic antibodies because IgGs with moderately increased binding affinities for FcRn exhibit superior serum half-lives and efficacy. It has been hypothesized that 2 FcRn molecules bind an IgG homodimer with disparate affinities, yet their affinity constants are inconsistent across the literature. Using surface plasmon resonance biosensor assays that eliminated confounding experimental artifacts, we present data supporting an alternate hypothesis: 2 FcRn molecules saturate an IgG homodimer with identical affinities at independent sites, consistent with the symmetrical arrangement of the FcRn/Fc complex observed in the crystal structure published by Burmeister et al. in 1994. We find that human FcRn binds human IgG1 with an equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of 760 ± 60 nM (N = 14) at 25°C and pH 5.8, and shows less than 25% variation across the other human subtypes. Human IgG1 binds cynomolgus monkey FcRn with a 2-fold higher affinity than human FcRn, and binds both mouse and rat FcRn with a 10-fold higher affinity than human FcRn. FcRn/IgG interactions from multiple species show less than a 2-fold weaker affinity at 37°C than at 25°C and appear independent of an IgG's variable region. Our in vivo data in mouse and rat models demonstrate that both affinity and avidity influence an IgG's serum half-life, which should be considered when choosing animals, especially transgenic systems, as surrogates. 相似文献

The neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn, is responsible for the long half-life of IgG molecules in vivo and is a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of autoimmune diseases. A family of peptides comprising the consensus motif GHFGGXY, where X is preferably a hydrophobic amino acid, was shown previously to inhibit the human IgG:human FcRn protein-protein interaction (Mezo, A. R., McDonnell, K. A., Tan Hehir, C. A., Low, S. C., Palombella, V. J., Stattel, J. M., Kamphaus, G. D., Fraley, C., Zhang, Y., Dumont, J. A., and Bitonti, A. J. (2008) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A., 105, 2337–2342). Herein, the x-ray crystal structure of a representative monomeric peptide in complex with human FcRn was solved to 2.6 Å resolution. The structure shows that the peptide binds to human FcRn at the same general binding site as does the Fc domain of IgG. The data correlate well with structure-activity relationship data relating to how the peptide family binds to human FcRn. In addition, the x-ray crystal structure of a representative dimeric peptide in complex with human FcRn shows how the bivalent ligand can bridge two FcRn molecules, which may be relevant to the mechanism by which the dimeric peptides inhibit FcRn and increase IgG catabolism in vivo. Modeling of the peptide:FcRn structure as compared with available structural data on Fc and FcRn suggest that the His-6 and Phe-7 (peptide) partially mimic the interaction of His-310 and Ile-253 (Fc) in binding to FcRn, but using a different backbone topology. 相似文献

Engineered antibody domains (eAds) are promising candidate therapeutics but their half-life is relatively short partly due to weak or absent binding to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). We developed a novel approach to increase the eAd binding to FcRn based on a combination of structure-based design, computational modeling and phage display methodologies. By using this approach, we identified 2 IgG1 CH2-derived eAds fused to a short FcRn-binding motif derived from IgG1 CH3 that exhibited greatly enhanced FcRn binding with strict pH dependency. Importantly, the increased affinity resulted in significantly enhanced FcRn-mediated epithelial transcytosis and prolonged elimination half-life (mean 44.1 hours) in cynomolgus macaques. These results demonstrate for the first time that the half-life of isolated eAds can be prolonged (optimized) by increasing their binding to FcRn while maintaining their small size, which has important implications for development of therapeutics, including eAd-drug conjugates with enhanced penetration in solid tissues. 相似文献
