Abstract

A human macrophage-like line, designated 2MAC, has been established from peripheral blood. 2MAC expresses a number of lineage-specific markers as well as a broad array of intercellular adhesion molecules. In particular, 2MAC expresses CD16/Fc gammaRIII, the low-affinity Fc receptor for IgG, as well as high levels of HLA class I and class II. Consistent with this macrophage assignment, we present evidence that 2MAC expresses the macrophage form of CD16, namely, Fc gammaRIIIA/gamma. By several criteria also applicable to signal transducing NK CD16 and T cell CD3/TCR complexes, including modulation from the cell surface and Ca2+ mobilization in response to ligation by specific monoclonal antibody, CD16 expressed by 2MAC is functional. Ligation of 2MAC HLA class II, but not HLA class I, by specific mAb induces an increase in free cytoplasmic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i). This Ca2+ flux appears to be physiologically relevant, as ligation of HLA-DR, but not HLA class I, by mAb results in the efficient, Ca2+ mobilization-dependent induction of tissue factor by 2MAC. 2MAC, therefore, should prove useful for studying signal transduction through macrophage CD16 and HLA class II.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
