Regulation of monocyte survival in vitro by deposited IgG: role of macrophage colony-stimulating factor.
نویسندگان
چکیده
IgG deposition at tissue sites characteristically leads to macrophage accumulation and organ injury. Although the mechanism by which deposited IgG induces tissue injury is not known, we have recently demonstrated that deposited IgG stimulates the release of IL-8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 from normal human monocytes, which may drive inflammation. Since IgG also induces macrophage accumulation in these diseases, we hypothesized that deposited IgG protects monocytes from apoptosis. As an in vitro model of the effect of deposited IgG on monocyte survival, monocyte apoptosis was studied after FcgammaR cross-linking. Monocytes cultured on immobilized IgG, which induces FcgammaR cross-linking, were protected from apoptosis, whereas monocytes cultured with equivalent concentrations of F(ab')2 IgG or 50 times higher concentrations of soluble IgG, neither of which induces FcgammaR cross-linking, were not protected. Moreover, this protection was transferable, as supernatants from immobilized IgG-stimulated monocytes protected freshly isolated monocytes from apoptosis and contained functional M-CSF, a known monocyte survival factor. M-CSF mediated the monocyte survival induced by FcgammaR cross-linking, as neutralizing anti-human M-CSF Abs blocked the monocyte protection provided by either immobilized IgG or IgG-stimulated monocyte supernatants. These findings demonstrate a novel mechanism by which deposited IgG targets tissue macrophage accumulation through FcgammaR-mediated M-CSF release. This pathway may play an important role in promoting and potentiating IgG-mediated tissue injury.

Down-regulation of the forkhead transcription factor Foxp1 by integrin engagement controls monocyte differentiation in vitro. To determine whether Foxp1 plays a critical role in monocyte differentiation and macrophage functions in vivo, we generated transgenic mice (macFoxp1tg) overexpressing human FOXP1 in monocyte/macrophage lineage cells using the CD68 promoter. Circulating blood monocytes f...

The role of alveolar macrophages in the production of granulocyte/ macrophage colony-stimulating factor(s) by the rat lung was investigated. Lavaged lungs, when incubated at proper weight per volume of culture medium, produced the same amount of colony-stimulating factor as unlavaged ones. Both lavaged and unlavaged lungs produced similar types of colony-stimulating factor (s). Prolonged i...
متن کاملIdentification of CD137 as a potent monocyte survival factor.
CD137 (ILA/4-1BB), a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor family, promotes adherence and prolongs survival of human peripheral monocytes. It induces a strong expression of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF), an essential monocyte survival factor. Monocyte survival induced by CD137 is primarily mediated by M-CSF and to a lesser extent by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stim...

Macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF or CSF-1) and granulocyte-macrophage CSF (GM-CSF) have been shown to increase human monocyte urokinase-type plasminogen-activator (u-PA) activity with possible consequences for cell migration and tissue remodeling; because monocyte u-PA activity is likely to be controlled in part also by the PA inhibitors (PAIs) made by the cell, the effect of M-CSF a...
