Clathrin-Coated Pit-Associated Proteins Are Required For Alveolar Macrophage Phagocytosis
JOURNAL OF IMMUNOLOGY(1999)
摘要
During phagocytosis, phagocytic receptors and membrane material must be inserted in the pseudopod membrane as it extends over the phagocytic target. This may require a clathrin-mediated recycling mechanism similar to that postulated for leading edge formation during cell migration, To investigate this possibility, liposomes were used to deliver to intact rat alveolar macrophages (AMs): 1) Abs to clathrin, clathrin adaptor AP-2, and hsc70, and 2) amantadine, Phagocytosis was assayed by fluorometric and colorimetric techniques, Liposome-delivered Abs to clathrin and AP-2 inhibited AM phagocytosis of zymosan-coated, fluorescent liposomes from 16.3 +/- 0.3 to 5.8 +/- 0.3, and 10.1 +/- 0.9 to 4.8 +/- 0.2 liposomes/cell (p < 0.01). Similarly, liposome-delivered Ab to clathrin also inhibited AM phagocytosis of IgG-opsonized RBCs from 11.7 +/- 1.7 to 3.8 +/- 0.7 RBCs/cell (p < 0.01), Amantadine, which blocks the budding of clathrin-coated vesicles, inhibited phagocytosis from 13.8 +/- 0.8 to 5.7 +/- 0.6 (p < 0.01), Ab blockade of hsc70, which catalyzes clathrin turnover, also inhibited phagocytosis from 9.1 +/- 0.5 to 4.3 +/- 0.2 (p < 0.01). These findings suggest that clathrin-mediated receptor/membrane recycling is required for phagocytosis.
