Characterization of the Fc mu receptor on human natural killer cells. Interaction with its physiologic ligand, human normal IgM, specificity of binding, and functional effects.
After treatment with human normal IgM, 78 +/- 8% of purified CD3-CD56+ resting human NK cells and 93 +/- 6% of IL-2-activated NK cells selected by adherence to plastic reacted with FITC-goat anti-human IgM. Binding of IgM to the FcR for IgM (Fc mu R) on human NK cells was not species specific because mouse myeloma IgM also bound to these cells. The percentage of CD56+ cells binding IgM after incubation with anti-CD16 mAb was similar to that of cells incubated with medium alone (95 +/- 1% vs 93 +/- 4%). Binding of anti-CD16 mAb to Fc gamma RIII on NK cells was unaffected by pretreatment with IgM (65 +/- 12% vs 69 +/- 4%). The CD7 molecule has been reported to be the Fc mu R on the surface of T cells. Two-color flow cytometry showed that 94 +/- 3% of CD3-CD56+ resting NK cells and 71 +/- 16% of activated NK cells were CD7+. Preincubation of NK cells with three anti-CD7 mAb (Leu-9, 8H8-1, and LAU-A1) failed to block the binding of IgM to the Fc mu R. Modulation of the CD7 molecule off the cell surface (CD7+ = 1.5% +/- 0.3) did not reduce IgM binding, thus excluding the possibility that IgM anti-CD7 might bind to different epitopes of the same molecule. These data indicate that the Fc mu R is a specific Ig-binding structure, distinct from the Fc gamma RIII (CD16) or CD7. The Fc mu R on NK cells functions as a signal-transducing molecule because the addition of 0.2 mg/ml IgM to R-NK cells caused a rapid increase in [Ca2+]i (delta = 40 nM). One of the early events that followed signaling through the Fc mu R was the down-modulation of IFN-gamma gene expression and IFN gamma production in NK cells. The presence of IgM during culture of NK cells consistently decreased the expression of HLA-DR (16% vs 40% in control). Thus, the Fc mu R, a constitutively-expressed receptor on human NK cells, seems to be an important functional molecule, which delivers negative regulatory signals to NK cells.L Pricop, H Rabinowich, P A Morel, A Sulica, T L Whiteside, R B Herberman
