Down-regulation of surface FcRI and decrease in antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity of cultured monocytes. Reversal by monensin or cytochalasin-D

To investigate the mechanisms involved in regulation of antibody- dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) mediated by human monocytes, 51Cr-labeled sheep red blood cells (RBC) were used as target cells in vitro. Monocytes incubated overnight at 37 degrees C before addition of SRBC and antibody exhibited a significant decrease in ADCC activity compared with freshly isolated cells. This pattern was observed with monocytes from all donors tested, regardless of the media used for culture. Supernatants from monocyte cultures did not inhibit the cytotoxic ability of fresh monocytes and cycloheximide, a protein synthesis inhibitor, could not reverse ADCC suppression in cultured monocytes, indicating that the alteration in ADCC is probably not due to inhibitory molecules secreted or synthesized during incubation. A correlation between the decrease in the number of surface FcRI and loss in ADCC ability of cultured monocytes was found. One mechanism for the reduced FcRI expression of 1-day-old monocytes may be rapid internalization that exceeds the rate of reexpression, because cytochalasin-D or monensin, each of which inhibits receptor internalization, maintained FcR expression as well as ADCC ability of cultured monocytes. These data illustrate mechanisms whereby alteration in the number of receptors may underlie loss of receptor-mediated functions, or be involved in augmentation of their biologic activity. The findings that important monocyte functions change under conditions of storage or culture have relevance to in vitro testing of various immune functions of monocytes performed clinically to monitor or guide therapy.
