Negative Regulation of Expression and Function of Fc␥RIII by CD3␨ in Murine NK Cells1 Hisashi Arase,2 Tadahiro Suenaga, Noriko Arase,3 Yoshimitsu Kimura,4 Katsuhiko Ito, Ritsuko Shiina, Hiroshi Ohno,5 and Takashi Saito6 Fc␥RIII is involved in Ab-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) and cytokine production by NK cells. Signaling and expression of Fc␥RIII are dependent on FcR␥. Although NK cells express not only FcR␥ but also CD3␨, the role of CD3␨ in NK cell function remains unclear. Here, we found that the expression of Fc␥RIII on NK cells from CD3␨-deficient mice is unexpectedly up-regulated compared with that on cells from normal mice. Furthermore, ADCC and IFN-␥ production upon Fc␥RIII-cross- linking by NK cells from CD3␨-deficient mice were also up-regulated. Up-regulation of the surface expression of Fc␥RIII on CD3␨-deficient NK cells is not mediated by transcriptional augmentation of either Fc␥RIII or FcR␥ gene because there was no significant difference in the expression of mRNA for Fc␥RIII and FcR␥. Transfection of CD3␨ into a cell line expressing Fc␥RIII Downloaded from and FcR␥ induced a decrease in the cell surface expression of Fc␥RIII. These findings reveal a negative regulatory role of CD3␨ in Fc␥RIII-mediated function of murine NK cells.

The most abundant immunoglobulin isotype in serum is Immunoglobulin G (IgG), which is involved in many humoral immune responses, strongly interacting with effector molecules. The IgG subclass, allotype, and glycosylation pattern, among other factors, determine the interaction strength of the IgG-Fc domain with these Fc engaging molecules, and thereby the potential strength of their effector potential. The molecules responsible for the effector phase include the classical IgG-Fc receptors (FcγR), the neonatal Fc-receptor (FcRn), the Tripartite motif-containing protein 21 (TRIM21), the first component of the classical complement cascade (C1), and possibly, the Fc-receptor-like receptors (FcRL4/5). Here we provide an overview of the interactions of IgG with effector molecules and discuss how natural variation on the antibody and effector molecule side shapes the biological activities of antibodies. The increasing knowledge on the Fc-mediated effector functions of antibodies drives the development of better therapeutic antibodies for cancer immunotherapy or treatment of autoimmune diseases.

  • Epha Receptors and Ephrin-A Ligands Are Upregulated by Monocytic
    Mukai et al. BMC Cell Biology (2017) 18:28 DOI 10.1186/s12860-017-0144-x RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access EphA receptors and ephrin-A ligands are upregulated by monocytic differentiation/ maturation and promote cell adhesion and protrusion formation in HL60 monocytes Midori Mukai, Norihiko Suruga, Noritaka Saeki and Kazushige Ogawa* Abstract Background: Eph signaling is known to induce contrasting cell behaviors such as promoting and inhibiting cell adhesion/ spreading by altering F-actin organization and influencing integrin activities. We have previously demonstrated that EphA2 stimulation by ephrin-A1 promotes cell adhesion through interaction with integrins and integrin ligands in two monocyte/ macrophage cell lines. Although mature mononuclear leukocytes express several members of the EphA/ephrin-A subclass, their expression has not been examined in monocytes undergoing during differentiation and maturation. Results: Using RT-PCR, we have shown that EphA2, ephrin-A1, and ephrin-A2 expression was upregulated in murine bone marrow mononuclear cells during monocyte maturation. Moreover, EphA2 and EphA4 expression was induced, and ephrin-A4 expression was upregulated, in a human promyelocytic leukemia cell line, HL60, along with monocyte differentiation toward the classical CD14++CD16− monocyte subset. Using RT-PCR and flow cytometry, we have also shown that expression levels of αL, αM, αX, and β2 integrin subunits were upregulated in HL60 cells along with monocyte differentiation while those of α4, α5, α6, and β1 subunits were unchanged. Using a cell attachment stripe assay, we have shown that stimulation by EphA as well as ephrin-A, likely promoted adhesion to an integrin ligand- coated surface in HL60 monocytes. Moreover, EphA and ephrin-A stimulation likely promoted the formation of protrusions in HL60 monocytes.

In the present investigation we show that the anti-Lewis Y (LeY) anti-tumour mAb ABL 364 and its mouse/human IgG1 chimaera induce both antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and the release of tumour necrosis factor α (TNF-α) during mixed culture of monocytes with LeY+ SKBR5 breast cancer cells in vitro. Although anti-LeY mAb-mediated TNF-α release paralleled ADCC activity, cytokine release required a higher concentration of sensitizing mAb than the induction of cytolysis. The determination of the FcγR classes involved in the induction of the distinct effector functions showed that anti-LeY mAb-induced cytolysis was triggered by interaction between anti-LeY mAbs and FcγRI. In contrast, mAb-induced TNF-α release mainly depended on the activation of monocyte FcγRII. Neutralization of TNF-α showed no influence on monocyte ADCC activity towards SKBR5 target cells. Our data indicate an independent regulation of anti-LeY mAb induced effector functions of ADCC and TNF-α release

To render CAR-negative cells susceptible to Ad infection, we have produced a bispecific hybrid adapter protein consisting of the amino-terminal extracellular domain of the human CAR protein (CARex) and the Fc region of the human immunoglobulin G1 protein, comprising the hinge and the CH2 and CH3 regions. CARex-Fc was purified from COS7 cell supernatants and mixed with Ad particles, thus blocking Ad infection of CAR-positive but Fc receptor-negative cells. The functionality of the CARex domain was further confirmed by successful immunization of mice with CARex-Fc followed by selection of a monoclonal anti-human CAR antibody (E1-1), which blocked Ad infection of CAR-positive cells.
