Role of CD47 as a Marker of Self on Red Blood Cells

Abstract: The immune system recognizes invaders as foreign because they express determinants that are absent on host cells or because they lack "markers of self" that are normally present. Here we show that CD47 (integrin-associated protein) functions as a marker of self on murine red blood cells. Red blood cells that lacked CD47 were rapidly cleared from the bloodstream by splenic red pulp macrophages. CD47 on normal red blood cells prevented this elimination by binding to the inhibitory receptor signal regulatory prot… Show more

“…Red blood cells from CD47 knockout mice are cleared rapidly when transferred to wild type mice which is compatible with CD47 giving an inhibitory signal to phagocytic SIRPα positive cells [30]. However this result raises questions as to why this CD47−/− mouse does not eat its own blood cells and become non-viable?…”

“…5,6 CD47 interacts with signal regulatory protein-a (SIRPa), thrombospondin (TSP)-1 and -2 to mediate various cellular functions. 7,8 In particular, CD47 signaling through SIRPa inhibits the phagocytosis of CD47-expressing target cells by SIRPa-expressing macrophages.…”

“…The CD47-SHPS-1 system has been shown to regulate a novel cell-cell communication system that is important in immunology and hematology. CD47 on red blood cells binds to SHPS-1 on macrophages, thereby inhibiting macrophage activation and phagocytosis [28,29]. The interaction of SHPS-1 with CD47 negatively regulates cellular responsiveness during T cell activation and during the induction of antigen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes by DC and monocytes [24,30].…”
