چکیده

Two types of receptors for the Fc portion of human IgE (FccR) have been identified on the surface of human cells. These two types of receptors differ in their affinity for IgE as well as in their cellular distribution and function (1) . Type 1 FcER (FcERI) show high affinity (109/M) for IgE and are detectable on mast cells and basophils (2) . The reaction between allergens and IgE bound to FCERI induces degranulation of basophils and mast cells, with release of chemical mediators responsible for the clinical manifestations of allergy (3) . In contrast, type 2 FCER (FcER2) bind IgE with a lower affinity (10'-10"/M) and are present on monocytes, macrophages, B lymphocytes, platelets, and eosinophils (4) . The binding of IgE to FcER2 on monocytes, eosinophils, and platelets activates a variety of effector functions in these cells (3, 5, 6) . It is well known that the frequency of human peripheral blood monocytes (Mo)' bearing FcER2 is increased in atopic subjects, particularly in the presence of high serum IgE levels, while it is negligible in normal subjects (3) . In addition, it has been recently reported that Mo bearing cytophilic IgE infiltrate into the skin lesions of patients with atopic dermatitis (7) . The role of FcER2+ Mo in the pathogenesis of allergic disorders is, however, still poorly understood . Binding of IgE to FcER2 sensitizes rodent peritoneal (8) and alveolar (9) macrophages to the release of leukotrienes and arachidonic acid upon exposure to allergen . The signals that are able to induce the expression of FcER2 on Mo, however, have not been defined . In the present study, we have examined the ability of a variety of recombinant lymphokines and monokines to induce on human normal peripheral blood Mo the expression of FcER2, as detected by IgE binding . In parallel, we have investigated the ability of the same agents to induce the expression on Mo of the CD23 antigen, as detected by mAb binding . CD23 has been described as a B cell-specific activation antigen (10) and more recently has been shown to be identical to the B cell FcER2 (11, 12) and to the Blast-2 antigen expressed by B cells upon activation by a variety of stimuli (13, 14) . Our data indicate that the expression of FcER2/CD23 by normal human Mo can be spe-

Human recombinant interleukin 4 induces Fc epsilon R2/CD23 on normal human monocytes

rIL-4 (B cell stimulatory factor 1) induces the expression of Fc epsilon R2/CD23 on normal human monocytes (Mo). Fc epsilon R2/CD23 induction was detectable both by flow cytometry using anti-CD23 mAbs as well as soluble IgE, and by the immunoprecipitation with CD23-specific mAb or IgE of a 45-kD band from 125I-lactoperoxidase-labeled Mo. Fc epsilon R2/CD23 was fully expressed after a 24-h incub...

Human recombinant interleukin 4 induces Fc epsilon receptors (CD23) on normal human B lymphocytes

Human rIL-4 is able to induce the expression of low-affinity receptors for IgE (Fc epsilon RL/CD23) on resting B lymphocytes, as determined by the binding of either the anti Fc epsilon RL/CD23-specific mAb 25 or IgE. Stimulation of B cells with insolubilized anti-IgM antibody increases the number of cells expressing Fc epsilon RL/CD23 upon culturing with IL-4 and enhances the level of Fc epsilo...

Involvement of Cyclic AMP and Nitric Oxide in Immunoglobulin E - dependent Activation of FcERII / CD 23 + Normal Human Keratinocytes

Epidermal keratinocytes (EK) are exposed to multiple inflammatory stimuli and paracrine factors secreted by various dermal cells (lymphocytes, mast cells, macrophages, fibroblasts) during wounding, cutaneous allergy, and infections. We have previously demonstrated that after stimulation with interleukin 4 or interferon-y, human EK express the low-affinity receptor for IgE (FceRII/CD23) on their...

Interaction between M-CSF and IL-10 on productions of IL-12 and IL-18 and expressions of CD14, CD23, and CD64 by human monocytes.

AIM To Study the interaction of macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in productions of IL-12 and IL-18 and expressions of CD14, CD23, and CD64 by human monocytes. METHODS Purified adherent human monocytes were cultured with M-CSF or IL-10 alone, or with M-CSF+IL-10 and 2-3d later, the culture supernatants and cells were separated and collected. IL-12P40 and ...

IgE production by normal human lymphocytes is induced by interleukin 4 and suppressed by interferons gamma and alpha and prostaglandin E2.

The effect of human recombinant interleukin 4 (IL-4) on antibody production by normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells enriched for B cells was investigated. IL-4 preferentially induced IgE synthesis in vitro. In addition, a low induction of IgG production was observed, whereas IL-4 had no effect on IgA and IgM synthesis. The IL-4-induced IgE production by B cells required T cells and monocyt...
