The plasma concentration of soluble Fc‐gamma RIII is related to production of neutrophils

Abstract: Fc gamma RIII (the CD16-antigen), a low-affinity receptor for IgG, is expressed by neutrophils, natural killer lymphocytes and macrophages. A soluble form of Fc gamma RIII has been identified in human plasma. This soluble form of Fc gamma RIII (sFc gamma RIII) originates from release by neutrophils. In the present study we show by transfusions of plasma that contains sFc gamma RIII of one allotype (NA1-Fc gamma RIII) in recipients homozygous for the other allotype (NA2-Fc gamma RIII) that the clearance of sFc … Show more

“…42 Plasma concentrations of sFc␥RIIIb have been found to correlate with the production of neutrophils and total body mass of neutrophils. 64 Finally, we confirmed previous findings regarding the influence of donor IL-1Ra (IL-1RN*2) as a protective gene polymorphism in aGVHD. 65,66 Other gene polymorphisms, such as TNF, IL-6, IL-10, and CD31, have been correlated with the risk for aGVHD.…”

“…Ten subjects with hepatic diseases were excluded from this study because sFcγRIIIs may be catabolized in the liver (17). Furthermore, two subjects with renal diseases also were excluded because sFcγRIIIs are excreted from the kidney (6). In support of this, we detected sFcγRIIIa Mφ , as well as total sFcγRIII, in urine at about 10% to 20% concentration of plasma levels in healthy donors (unpublished data).…”

“…It has been shown that the levels of inflammatory markers in serum, such as C-reactive protein, TNFα, and IL-6, are increased in patients with atherosclerosis (23). Because the FcγRIIIa is released from NK cells and macrophages, and FcγRIIIb is released from neutrophils on activation (4)(5)(6)(7)(8), the sFcγRIIIs in plasma also are a kind of marker for inflammation. In this study, the levels of sFcγRIIIa Mφ , but not total sFcγRIII levels, increased with the number of risk factors for atherosclerosis (see Figure 2), and no correlation between the levels of two sFcγRIIIs (Table 3) was observed in subjects with an annual medical checkup.…”

“…Endogenous IgGs can compete with IgG mAbs for binding to various classes of FcgRs, in particular with FcgRIII (15,31,32). Moreover, shedded FcgRIII can also act as a decoy element partially neutralizing the Fc part of mAbs and other IgGs (33). Finally, Her2 can also be shedded in plasma in patients with breast cancer expressing high levels of this (34).…”
