摘要

Fc gamma receptors (Fc gamma Rs) for IgG regulate adaptive immune responses by modulating activating and inhibitory signalling pathways within immune cells. Data from a haemophilia A mouse model demonstrate that genetic deletion or blockade of the inhibitory Fc gamma R (CD32) suppresses the formation of antibody-secreting cells (ASCs) in vitro. Mechanisms preventing the FVIII-specific recall response, however, remain unclear. Here, the potential role of CD32 inhibition was studied by differentially modulating receptor activity with selected anti-CD32 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). Splenocytes from immunized FVIII-/- mice were restimulated with FVIII in the absence or presence of different anti-CD32 mAbs over 6 days. At day 6, cytokine release was quantified from cell culture supernatant and the formation of FVIII-specific ASCs assessed. Binding of FVIII-containing immune complexes (F8-ICs) to bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMdDCs) was also investigated. The antagonistic CD32 mAb AT128 suppressed the formation of FVIII-specific ASCs and reduced secretion of IFN-gamma and IL-10. In contrast, the agonistic mAbs AT130-2 and AT130-5, and their F(ab')(2) fragments, allowed the formation of FVIII-specific ASCs, even though the full IgG of AT130-2 reduced binding of F8-ICs to CD32. Data suggest that an inhibitory signal is transmitted when F8-ICs bind to CD32 and that this signal is required during memory B cell (MBC) activation to support formation of FVIII-specific ASCs. If the inhibitory signal is lacking due to CD32 deletion or blockade with antagonistic anti-CD32 mAbs, FVIII-specific T cell stimulation and ASC formation are suppressed, whereas agonistic stimulation of CD32 restores T cell stimulation and ASC formation.
