Abstract:
:Phosphatidylserine (PS) is predominantly confined to the inner leaflet of plasma membrane in cells, but it is externalized on the cell surface during apoptosis. This externalized PS is required for effective phagocytosis of apoptotic cells by macrophages. Because PS trans-bilayer asymmetry is not absolute in different types of nonapoptotic cells, we hypothesized that the amounts of externalized PS may be critical for macrophage discrimination between apoptotic and nonapoptotic cells. We developed a sensitive electron paramagnetic resonance method to quantify the amounts of externalized PS based on specific binding of paramagnetic annexin V-microbead conjugates with PS on cell surfaces. Using this technique, we found that nonapoptotic Jurkat cells externalize 0.9 pmol of endogenous PS/10(6) Jurkat cells. For cells with different amounts of integrated exogenous PS on their surface, no phagocytic response was observed at PS levels <5 pmol/10(6) Jurkat cells; at higher PS concentrations, phagocytosis increased in a concentration-dependent manner. Apoptosis in Jurkat cells caused externalization of approximately 240 pmol PS/10(6) Jurkat cells; these amounts of externalized PS are manyfold higher than the threshold amounts of PS required for phagocytosis. Thus, macrophages have a sensitivity threshold for PS externalized on the cell surface that provides for reliable recognition and distinction between normal cells with low contents of externalized PS and apoptotic cells with remarkably elevated PS levels.
