Abstract
AbstractBy visualizing the movements of Rituximab during Antibody dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) of B lymphoma cells by macrophages, we found that Fcγ receptors (FcγR) on the macrophage surface microcluster, recruit Syk and undergro large-scale reorganization at the phagocytic synapse prior to and during engulfment of the target cell. Given these dramatic rearrangements, we analyzed how the surface mobility of Rituximab contributes to FcγR signal amplification and ADCP efficiency. Depolymerization of the target cell actin cytoskeleton resulted in free diffusion of Rituximab docked to CD20, enhanced microcluster reorganization, Syk recruitment and ADCP. Conversely, immobilization of Rituximab by chemical fixation impaired microcluster formation and diminished Syk recruitment and ADCP. In macrophages lacking Syk, Rituximab accumulated at the base of the phagosome and were trogocytosed, consistent with Syk kinase activity being necessary to trigger redistribution of Rituximab-FcγR during engulfment and to prevent antigenic modulation of the target. Total internal reflection fluorescence analysis of FcγR-IgG on fluid supported lipid bilayers revealed a membrane topography displaying inward reaching leading edges and protruding contact sites reminiscent of podosomes. This topography was distinct from the closely apposed macrophage/target membranes observed during engagement of IgG displayed on immobile supported lipid bilayers. The organization of this contact, pseudopod extension and the rearrangement of microclusters depended critically on Arp 2/3. Thus, Syk and Arp2/3 coordinate actin rearrangements and FcγR-IgG complexes that were of previously unrecognized complexity for the clearance of cells displaying surface-mobile antigens.Significance StatementADCP is an important effector mechanism for the removal of malignant, immunologically aberrant, and infected cells during treatment with therapeutic antibodies or adaptive immune responses. Most transmembrane protein antigens are mobile with transient confinement from the actin of the target cell. This work demonstrates that macrophage forces overcome these confinements to rearrange FcγR-IgG-antigen complexes before and during ADCP. Thus, new paradigms are needed as ADCP has largely been studied using model target particles that display immobile antigens. Moreover, we found that the mobility of the therapeutic antibody, Rituximab, on the surface of B lymphoma cells foretells ADCP efficacy, with lower densities of IgG mediating ADCP on increasingly mobile antigens.
