Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) as Accessory Molecule for FcαR (CD89) Binding of IgA

Abstract: IgA, the principal ligand for FcαRI, exists in serum as monomeric IgA and at mucosal sites as secretory IgA (SIgA). SIgA consists of dimeric IgA linked by joining chain and secretory components. Human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMN) and mouse PMN transgenic for human FcαRI exhibited spreading and elicited respiratory burst activity upon interaction with either serum or SIgA. However, PMN devoid of the β2 integrin Mac-1 (Mac-1−/−) were unable to bind SIgA, despite expression of FcαRI. Consistent with this, s… Show more

“…It has been shown that eosinophils may be activated by secretory IgA not only in an FcαRI-mediated way, but also independently of FcαRI [31, 32, 33]. This is in accord with the role of eosinophils in inflammatory reactions of airway tissue, where secretory IgA is abundant.…”

“…SIgA binds Fc␣RI, but, in contrast to mIgA, is unable to trigger Fc␣RI-mediated phagocytosis and requires the presence of the integrin coreceptor Mac-1 (CD11b/CD18) to trigger a respiratory burst via Fc␣RI (58,59). The overlap of Fc␣RI and hpIgR binding sites revealed in this study may account for this difference between SIgA and mIgA.…”

“…63 and 64). Mac-1 has a broad specificity to sugars, including ␤-glucans (65), and has been shown to bind to recombinant SC, either as free SC or in the SIgA complex (62). The physiological roles of serum and SIgA are quite different, and these data show that the presence of the highly glycosylated SC has major effects on the biological functions of SIgA.…”
