Abstract:
:It has been previously shown that the activated form of Factor B (Factor Bb) of the alternative pathway of complement activation stimulates monocyte spreading and killing of xenogenic erythrocytes and staphylococci. Factor Bb also stimulates lymphocyte blastogenesis in vitro, and native (uncleaved) Factor B is a major constitutive product of murine macrophages. To evaluate the possible "monokine" or "lymphokine"-like properties of Factor Bb, a radioimmunoassay was developed to measure the quantities of Factor B in phytohemagglutinin (PHA)-mitogen-stimulated cultures of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Nonstimulated mononuclear cell cultures from human peripheral blood (containing 10-14% monocytes and greater than 85% lymphocytes) at a density of 3 X 10(6) cells/ml (in serum-free medium) released less than 7 X 10(-10) M/liter (60 ng/ml) of Factor B antigen in 24 hr at 37 degrees C, and when mononuclear cells were stimulated with PHA mitogen in serum-free medium, the levels of Factor B antigen in media at 24 hr were significantly higher 1-3 X 10(-8) M/liter (0.9-2.8 micrograms/ml). The molecular size of Factor B in these media was 50-65 kDa by immunoprecipitation and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, a size appropriate for Factor Bb (60 kDa). Since pathological effects of macrophages in autoimmune disease may result from the release of lysosomal hydrolases, the effects of purified Factor Bb on mononuclear phagocytes were investigated in an in vitro system of murine peritoneal exudate macrophages. Factor Bb induced secretion of marker lysosomal hydrolases N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (hexosaminidase) and beta-glucuronidase from thioglycollate-elicited murine peritoneal exudate macrophages in a dose-response and kinetic manner. Hydrolase release was induced in serum-free medium without a known particulate activator at a concentration of 80-200 nM (5-13 micrograms/ml) Factor Bb. Maximal release occurred in 3-5 hr at 37 degrees C and extracellular enzyme activity of hexosaminidase and glucuronidase increased as intracellular enzyme levels decreased, suggesting that Factor Bb triggers release of these enzymes from intracellular lysosomal pools. These results provide an example of a complement protein which is synthesized, released, and activated during mononuclear cell culture and which induces release of lysosomal enzymes from macrophages. In conventional terminology, Factor B or Factor Bb might be termed a "lymphokine," "monokine," or "interleukin".
