Effects of inhibitors of C1q biosynthesis on macrophage Fc receptor subclass-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity and phagocytosis. 1987

R Mocharla, and H Mocharla, and R W Leu

We examined the effects of the inhibitors of C1q or collagen biosynthesis, 2,2'-dipyridyl (DP), and 3,4-dehydro-DL-proline (DHP) on murine macrophage (M phi) FcR subclass-mediated antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and phagocytosis of sheep erythrocyte targets. Oil-elicited peritoneal M phi from C3HeB/FeJ mice which were cultured for 24 hr with DP (0.08 or 0.10 mM) or DHP (0.8 or 1.0 mM) showed a significant decrease in FcR subclass-mediated ADCC for murine monoclonal IgG2a (FcRI) and IgG2b/IgG1 (FcRII) as well as for heterologous polyclonal IgG. These collagen inhibitors also blocked phagocytosis mediated by both IgG2a- and IgG2b-opsonized erythrocytes. DP was more potent than DHP in blocking FcR effector functions in a reversible fashion and neither inhibitor affected M phi C3b receptor function. Pretreatment of M phi with collagenase resulted in significant reduction in FcR-mediated ADCC and phagocytosis. The inhibition of M phi FcR subclass-mediated ADCC and phagocytosis by collagen C1q synthetic inhibitors or by collagenase treatment further confirms a functional relationship between cell-associated C1q and FcR-dependent functions.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008264	Macrophages	The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D008815	Mice, Inbred Strains	Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations, or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions. All animals within an inbred strain trace back to a common ancestor in the twentieth generation.

D010587	Phagocytosis	The engulfing and degradation of microorganisms; other cells that are dead, dying, or pathogenic; and foreign particles by phagocytic cells (PHAGOCYTES).	Phagocytoses
D011392	Proline	A non-essential amino acid that is synthesized from GLUTAMIC ACID. It is an essential component of COLLAGEN and is important for proper functioning of joints and tendons.	L-Proline,L Proline
D011725	Pyridines	Compounds with a six membered aromatic ring containing NITROGEN. The saturated version is PIPERIDINES.
D011961	Receptors, Fc	Molecules found on the surface of some, but not all, B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes, and macrophages, which recognize and combine with the Fc (crystallizable) portion of immunoglobulin molecules.	Fc Receptors,Fc Receptor,Receptor, Fc
D003012	Microbial Collagenase	A metalloproteinase which degrades helical regions of native collagen to small fragments. Preferred cleavage is -Gly in the sequence -Pro-Xaa-Gly-Pro-. Six forms (or 2 classes) have been isolated from Clostridium histolyticum that are immunologically cross-reactive but possess different sequences and different specificities. Other variants have been isolated from Bacillus cereus, Empedobacter collagenolyticum, Pseudomonas marinoglutinosa, and species of Vibrio and Streptomyces. EC 3.4.24.3.

D003166	Complement Activating Enzymes	Enzymes that activate one or more COMPLEMENT PROTEINS in the complement system leading to the formation of the COMPLEMENT MEMBRANE ATTACK COMPLEX, an important response in host defense. They are enzymes in the various COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION pathways.	Activating Enzymes, Complement,Enzymes, Complement Activating
D003172	Complement C1	The first complement component to act in the activation of CLASSICAL COMPLEMENT PATHWAY. It is a calcium-dependent trimolecular complex made up of three subcomponents: COMPLEMENT C1Q; COMPLEMENT C1R; and COMPLEMENT C1S at 1:2:2 ratios. When the intact C1 binds to at least two antibodies (involving C1q), C1r and C1s are sequentially activated, leading to subsequent steps in the cascade of COMPLEMENT ACTIVATION.
