Macrophage Fcγ receptors (FcγRs) mediate the uptake and destruction of antibody-coated viruses, bacteria, and parasites. We examined FcγR signaling and phagocytic function in bone marrow–derived macrophages from mutant mice lacking the major Src family kinases expressed in these cells, Hck, Fgr, and Lyn. Many FcγR-induced functional responses and signaling events were diminished or delayed in these macrophages, including immunoglobulin (Ig)G-coated erythrocyte phagocytosis, respiratory burst, actin cup formation, and activation of Syk, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and extracellular signal–regulated kinases 1 and 2. Significant reduction of IgG-dependent phagocytosis was not seen in hck−/−fgr−/− or lyn−/− cells, although the single mutant lyn−/− macrophages did manifest signaling defects. Thus, Src family kinases clearly have roles in two events leading to FcγR-mediated phagocytosis, one involving initiation of actin polymerization and the second involving activation of Syk and sub...
Lyn and Syk kinases are sequentially engaged in phagocytosis mediated by Fc gamma R
Journal of immunology, 2002
Recent data indicate that phagocytosis mediated by FcgammaRs is controlled by the Src and Syk families of protein tyrosine kinases. In this study, we demonstrate a sequential involvement of Lyn and Syk in the phagocytosis of IgG-coated particles. The particles isolated at the stage of their binding to FcgammaRs (4 degrees C) were accompanied by high amounts of Lyn, in addition to the signaling gamma-chain of FcgammaRs. Simultaneously, the particle binding induced rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of numerous proteins. During synchronized internalization of the particles induced by shifting the cell to 37 degrees C, Syk kinase and Src homology 2-containing tyrosine phosphatase-1 (SHP-1) were associated with the formed phagosomes. At this step, most of the proteins were dephosphorylated, although some underwent further tyrosine phosphorylation. Quantitative immunoelectron microscopy studies confirmed that Lyn accumulated under the plasma membrane beneath the bound particles. High amounts...
Tyrosine phosphorylation is required for Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis in mouse macrophages
The Journal of experimental medicine, 1993
Although Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis is accompanied by a variety of transmembrane signaling events, not all signaling events are required for particle ingestion. For example, Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis in mouse inflammatory macrophages (Di Virgilio, F., B. C. Meyer, S. Greenberg, and S. C. Silverstein. 1988. J. Cell Biol. 106:657; Greenberg, S., J. El Khoury, F. Di Virgilio, and S. C. Silverstein. 1991. J. Cell Biol. 113:757) and neutrophils (Della Bianca, V., M. Grzeskowiak, and F. Rossi. 1990. J. Immunol. 144:1411) occurs in the absence of cytosolic calcium transients. We sought to identify transmembrane signaling events that are essential for phagocytosis. Here we show that tyrosine phosphorylation is an early event after Fc receptor ligation in mouse inflammatory macrophages, and that the formation of tyrosine phosphoproteins coincides temporally with the appearance of F-actin beneath phagocytic cups. The distribution of tyrosine phosphoproteins that accumulated ben...

There are important differences in signaling between the Fc receptor for immunoglobulin G (IgG) Fc␥RIIA, which uses the Ig tyrosineactivating motif (ITAM) within its own cytoplasmic domain, and Fc␥RI, which transmits signals by means of an ITAM located within the cytoplasmic domain of its associated ␥-chain. For example, in transfected epithelial cells and COS-1 cells, Fc␥RIIA mediates phagocytosis of IgG-coated red blood cells more efficiently than does Fc␥RI/␥, and enhancement of phagocytosis by Syk kinase is more pronounced for Fc␥RI/␥ than for Fc␥RIIA. In addition, structure/function studies indicate that the ␥-chain ITAM and the Fc␥RIIA ITAM have different requirements for mediating the phagocytic signal. To study the differences between Fc␥RIIA and Fc␥RI/␥, we examined the interaction of Fc␥RIIA and the Fc␥RI/␥ chimera Fc␥RI-

The molecular mechanism involved in Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis in the different cell types of the immune system is still poorly defined. We investigated the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-K) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) in phagocytosis by monocytes and by monocyte-differentiated macrophages. Peripheral blood monocytes and monocytic cells (THP-1 cell line) were able to ingest IgG-coated erythrocytes in the absence of additional stimulus. Phagocytosis by these cells was not blocked by wortmannin and LY294002, specific inhibitors of PI 3-K, or by PD98059, a specific MEK/ERK inhibitor. However, upon differentiation of THP-1 monocytes to macrophages, through treatment with retinoic acid and interferon-␥ (IFN-␥), wortmannin and PD98059 blocked Fc receptor-mediated phagocytosis efficiently. Inhibition of phagocytosis by PD98059 was observed after 24 h of IFN-␥ treatment, whereas wortmannin could inhibit phagocytosis only after 48 h of IFN-␥ treatment. Additionally, phagocytosis of IgG-coated erythrocytes by neutrophils, a more efficient phagocyte, was inhibited by wortmannin and PD98059. Neutrophils and monocyte-differentiated macrophages presented significantly more efficient phagocytosis than monocytes upon PMA stimulation. Taken together, these results indicate that poorly phagocytic leukocytes, such as monocytes, do not require PI 3-K and ERK for phagocytosis. Upon differentiation into macrophages, however, ERK first and PI 3-K second are recruited for regulation of phagocytosis. In addition, our data support the idea that professional phagocytes require ERK and PI 3-K for efficient phagocytosis. J. Leukoc. Biol. 72: 107-114; 2002.
Internalization and degradation of macrophage Fc receptors during receptor-mediated phagocytosis
Journal of Cell Biology, 1983
Macrophage receptors for the Fc domain of immunoglobulin G (IgG) can mediate the efficient binding and phagocytosis of IgG-coated particles. After internalization, phagocytic vacuoles fuse with lysosomes, initiating the degradation of their contents. Using specific monoclonal and polyclonal antireceptor antibodies, we have now analyzed the internalization and fate of Fc receptors during the uptake of IgG-coated erythrocytes and erythrocyte ghosts by mouse peritoneal macrophages. Receptor-mediated phagocytosis led to the selective and largely irreversible removal of Fc receptors (>50%) from the macrophage plasma membrane. The expression of several other plasma membrane proteins (including a receptor for complement), recognized by a series of antimacrophage monoclonal antibodies, was affected only slightly. Interiorized Fc receptors were rapidly and selectively degraded. This was demonstrated by a series of turnover studies in which Fc receptor was immunoprecipitated from lysates of 12Sl-labeled macrophages. These experiments were made possible by the development of a polyclonal rabbit antiserum, raised against isolated Fc receptor, which recognized the receptor even in the presence of bound ligand. In control cells, the receptor turned over with a tl/2 of ~10 h; after phagocytosis, >50% of the receptors were degraded with a tl/2 of <2 h. The turnover of other unrelated plasma membrane proteins was unaffected (tl/2 of 18-23 h) under these conditions.
