Receptor Signaling and Amplify Phagocytic Capacity1

Receptors for the Fc region of IgG (Fc
R) mediate internalization
of opsonized particles by human neutrophils (PMN) and mononuclear
phagocytes. Cross-linking of Fc
R leads to activation of protein
tyrosine kinases and phosphorylation of immunoreceptor tyrosine-based
activation motifs (ITAMs) within Fc
R subunits, both obligatory early
signals for phagocytosis. Human PMN constitutively express two
structurally distinct Fc
R, Fc
RIIa and Fc
RIIIb, and can be
induced to express Fc
RI by IFN-
. We have previously shown that
stimulation of PMN through Fc
RIIIb results in enhanced
Fc
RIIa-mediated phagocytic activity that is inhibited by catalase.
In the present study, we have tested the hypothesis that reactive
oxygen intermediates (ROI) have the capacity to regulate Fc
R
responses and defined a mechanism for this effect. We show that
H2O2 augmented phagocytosis mediated by
Fc
RIIa and Fc
RI in PMN and amplified receptor-triggered tyrosine
phosphorylation of Fc
R-associated ITAMs and signaling elements.
Generation of endogenous oxidants in PMN by cross-linking Fc
RIIIb
similarly enhanced phosphorylation of Fc
RIIa and Syk, a tyrosine
kinase required for phagocytic function, in a catalase-sensitive
manner. Our results provide a mechanism for priming phagocytes for
enhanced responses to receptor-driven effects. ROI generated in an
inflammatory milieu may stimulate quiescent cells to rapidly increase
the magnitude of their effector function. Indeed, human monocytes
incubated in the presence of stimulated PMN showed oxidant-induced
increases in Fc
RIIa-mediated phagocytosis. Definition of the role of
oxidants as amplifiers of Fc
R signaling identifies a target for
therapeutic intervention in immune complex-mediated tissue
injury.
