B cells from mice prematurely expressing human complement receptor type 2 are unresponsive to T-dependent antigens.

Complement receptor type 2 (CR2/CD21), in association with CD19, plays an important role in enhancing mature B cell responses to opsonized Ags. We have shown that mice expressing a human CR2/CD21 (hCR2/CD21) transgene during the CD43(+)/CD25(-) late pro-B cell stage of B cell development demonstrate marked changes in subsequent B cell ontogeny. In the present study, we show that the humoral immune response to the T cell-dependent Ag, sheep RBC, is muted severely in a manner inversely proportional to B cell expression level of hCR2. Individual Ag-specific IgG isotypes vary in the degree to which they are affected but all are reduced while IgM titers are normal. A substantial reduction in germinal centers, both in size and frequency, in the spleens of immunized hCR2 transgenic mice demonstrates a failure to maintain germinal center reaction. However, both IgM expression levels and LPS-proliferative responses appear fully intact in B cells from hCR2-positive mice, suggesting that this alteration in B cell phenotype is different qualitatively from that of specific Ag-defined anergy models. These data suggest that the unresponsiveness to T-dependent Ags displayed by hCR2-positive B cells is linked to an increase in the level of stimulus required to propel the B cell into a fully activated state and thus a normal humoral immune response to Ags. We conclude that this phenotype and these mice may offer an additional means to dissect mechanisms underlying B cell tolerance and Ag responsiveness both in bone marrow and periphery.

Decay-accelerating factor (CD55) is expressed by neurons in response to chronic but not acute autoimmune central nervous system inflammation associated with complement activation.

There is compelling evidence that a unique innate immune response in the CNS plays a critical role in host defense and clearance of toxic cell debris. Although complement has been implicated in neuronal impairment, axonal loss, and demyelination, some preliminary evidence suggests that the initial insult consequently activates surrounding cells to signal neuroprotective activities. Using two different models of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, we herein demonstrate selective C1q complement activation on neuron cell bodies and axons. Interestingly, in brains with chronic but not acute experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, C3b opsonization of neuronal cell bodies and axons was consistently associated with robust neuronal expression of one of the most effective complement regulators, decay-accelerating factor (CD55). In contrast, levels of other complement inhibitors, complement receptor 1 (CD35), membrane cofactor protein (CD46), and CD59 were largely unaffected on neurons and reactive glial cells in both conditions. In vitro, we found that proinflammatory stimuli (cytokines and sublytic doses of complement) failed to up-regulate CD55 expression on cultured IMR32 neuronal cells. Interestingly, overexpression of GPI-anchored CD55 on IMR32 was capable of modulating raft-associated protein kinase activities without affecting MAPK activities and neuronal apoptosis. Critically, ectopic expression of decay-accelerating factor conferred strong protection of neurons against complement attack (opsonization and lysis). We conclude that increased CD55 expression by neurons may represent a key protective signaling mechanism mobilized by brain cells to withstand complement activation and to survive within an inflammatory site.

Loxosceles sphingomyelinase induces complement-dependent dermonecrosis, neutrophil infiltration, and endogenous gelatinase expression.

Envenomation by the spider Loxosceles can result in dermonecrosis and severe ulceration. Our aim was to investigate the role of the complement system and of the endogenous metalloproteinases in the initiation of the pathology of dermonecrosis. Histological analysis of skin of rabbits injected with Loxosceles intermedia venom and purified or recombinant sphingomyelinases showed a large influx of neutrophils, concomitant with dissociation of the collagenous fibers in the dermis. Decomplementation, using cobra venom factor, largely prevented the influx of neutrophils, while influx of neutrophils was also reduced in genetically C6-deficient rabbits, suggesting roles for both C5a and the membrane attack complex in the induction of dermonecrosis. However, C-depletion and C6 deficiency did not prevent the haemorrhage and the collagen injury. Zymography analysis of skin extracts showed the induction of expression of the endogenous gelatinase MMP-9 in the skin of envenomated animals. Rabbit neutrophils contained high levels of MMP-9, expression of which was further increased after incubation with venom, suggesting that these cells may be a source of the MMP-9 found in the skin of envenomated animals. Furthermore, skin fibroblasts also secreted MMP-9 and MMP-2 upon incubation with venom, suggesting that locally produced MMPs can also contribute to proteolytic tissue destruction.

Glycation of CD59 impairs complement regulation on erythrocytes from diabetic subjects.

Type 1 diabetes is associated with anaemia. Although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear, the accompanying reticulocytosis implies that erythrocyte lifespan in the circulation is shortened. Among the factors that permit prolonged survival of erythrocytes are the membrane complement regulators. In conditions such as paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria, where erythrocyte expression of these regulators is reduced, erythrocyte survival is compromised and anaemia follows. Recent in vitro evidence indicates that one of the key membrane complement regulators, CD59, is inactivated by glycation in the presence of high concentrations of glucose or other glycating sugars. To ascertain whether glycation-induced inactivation of CD59 occurrs in vivo we examined CD59 surface expression and function on erythrocytes from a cohort with poorly controlled type 1 diabetes (hyperglycaemic) and from matched normoglycaemic controls. Although expression of CD59, assessed using polyclonal anti-CD59 antiserum, was similar in the two groups, erythrocytes from hyperglycaemic individuals were more susceptible to lysis by complement, entirely as a result of the loss of functional CD59. These data implicate glycation-induced inactivation of CD59 as a factor contributing to anaemia in type 1 diabetes.

''Homologous restriction'' in complement lysis: roles of membrane complement regulators.

The complement system is a powerful bactericidal immune defence with the potential to damage self cells. Protection of self is provided by expression on cells of a battery of membrane regulators that inhibit activation of complement. Roles of complement in the rejection of transplanted organs have long been recognized, and are particularly relevant in xenotransplantation, where hyperacute rejection is complement-driven. Inhibiting complement was therefore considered early in the history of xenografting, and the use of membrane complement regulators to this end was proposed more than two decades ago. For each of the membrane regulators in humans, early studies implied a species-specificity of action, inhibiting human complement but not that from other species. The dogma of species-specificity dictated strategies for inhibiting complement in xenografts and drove the creation of donor transgenic pigs expressing human regulators. Here we critically evaluate the evidence for species-specificity in membrane complement regulators from humans and other animals. We challenge the dogma and show that there is considerable cross-species activity for each of the membrane regulators of complement. Acceptance of the fact that species selectivity is not a limitation will open new avenues for protection of the xenograft from complement damage.

Inhibition of coxsackie B virus infection by soluble forms of its receptors: binding affinities, altered particle formation, and competition with cellular receptors.

We previously reported that soluble decay-accelerating factor (DAF) and coxsackievirus-adenovirus receptor (CAR) blocked coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) myocarditis in mice, but only soluble CAR blocked CVB3-mediated pancreatitis. Here, we report that the in vitro mechanisms of viral inhibition by these soluble receptors also differ. Soluble DAF inhibited virus infection through the formation of reversible complexes with CVB3, while binding of soluble CAR to CVB induced the formation of altered (A) particles with a resultant irreversible loss of infectivity. A-particle formation was characterized by loss of VP4 from the virions and required incubation of CVB3-CAR complexes at 37 degrees C. Dimeric soluble DAF (DAF-Fc) was found to be 125-fold-more effective at inhibiting CVB3 than monomeric DAF, which corresponded to a 100-fold increase in binding affinity as determined by surface plasmon resonance analysis. Soluble CAR and soluble dimeric CAR (CAR-Fc) bound to CVB3 with 5,000- and 10,000-fold-higher affinities than the equivalent forms of DAF. While DAF-Fc was 125-fold-more effective at inhibiting virus than monomeric DAF, complement regulation by DAF-Fc was decreased 4 fold. Therefore, while the virus binding was a cooperative event, complement regulation was hindered by the molecular orientation of DAF-Fc, indicating that the regions responsible for complement regulation and virus binding do not completely overlap. Relative contributions of CVB binding affinity, receptor binding footprint on the virus capsid, and induction of capsid conformation alterations for the ability of cellular DAF and CAR to act as receptors are discussed.

Expression of CD46 in developing rat spermatozoa: ultrastructural localization and utility as a marker of the various stages of the seminiferous tubuli.

Identification of the various stages of the seminal tubule epithelium that are important in spermatogenesis in humans and rodents requires considerable expertise for analysis of ultrastructural appearance under light microscopy. Few good stage-specific markers have been reported to facilitate the process. We recently described characterization of the expression of CD46 (membrane cofactor protein) in the rat using a novel monoclonal antibody. Expression of CD46 was restricted to spermatozoa and their immediate precursors in the testis. In the present study, we used a combination of morphological analyses, known acrosome markers, actin staining, direct nuclear staining, and staining for CD46 to delineate precisely the subcellular location of CD46. Staining of CD46 colocalized with known acrosome markers in late spermatids and mature spermatozoa and was confirmed by electron microscopy to be acrosome-restricted. Expression was first detected in step 7 spermatids, whereas known markers were not expressed until step 9. The CD46 staining pattern differed through spermatid development, and distinct patterns of staining could be identified that, when combined with 4'-6-diamino-2-phenylindole-2HCl nuclear staining, enabled the accurate staging of the seminiferous tubule epithelium in different profiles. This detailed description of the spatiotemporal expression patterns of CD46 provides a valuable tool for analysis of spermatogenesis in the rat. Furthermore, this information will aid ongoing studies regarding the roles of CD46 in acrosome-related spermatozoal functions.

Complement: central to innate immunity and bridging to adaptive responses.

The complement system, a pillar of innate immunity, has belatedly become recognised as a key modulator of adaptive immunity, acting to direct, modulate and modify the responses of lymphocytes to stimuli. These effects are mediated by interactions between complement components or activation-derived fragments and specific binding proteins--complement receptors and regulators--on the target cells. This review will describe the current state of knowledge in this swiftly moving field. It is hoped that the recognition of these properties will help to establish complement in the role it richly deserves as the lynchpin of immunity.

Molecular dissection of interactions between components of the alternative pathway of complement and decay accelerating factor (CD55).

The complement regulatory protein decay accelerating factor (DAF; CD55), inhibits the alternative complement pathway by accelerating decay of the convertase enzymes formed by C3b and factor B. We show, using surface plasmon resonance, that in the absence of Mg(2+), DAF binds C3b, factor B, and the Bb subunit with low affinity (K(D), 14 +/- 0.1, 44 +/- 10, and 20 +/- 7 microm, respectively). In the presence of Mg(2+), DAF bound Bb or the von Willebrand factor type A subunit of Bb with higher affinities (K(D), 1.3 +/- 0.5 and 2.2 +/- 0.1 microm, respectively). Interaction with the proenzyme C3bB was investigated by flowing factor B across a C3b-coated surface in the absence of factor D. The dissociation rate was dependent on the time of incubation, suggesting that a time-dependent conformational transition stabilized the C3b-factor B interaction. Activation by factor D (forming C3bBb) increased the complex half-life; however, the enzyme became susceptible to rapid decay by DAF, unlike the proenzyme, which was unaffected. A convertase assembled with cobra venom factor and Bb was decayed by DAF, albeit far less efficiently than C3bBb. DAF did not bind cobra venom factor, implying that Bb decay is accelerated, at least in part, through DAF binding of this subunit. It is likely that DAF binds the complex with higher affinity/avidity, promoting a conformational change in either or both subunits accelerating decay. Such analysis of component and regulator interactions will inform our understanding of inhibitory mechanisms and the ways in which regulatory proteins cooperate to control the complement cascade.

CD59a is the primary regulator of membrane attack complex assembly in the mouse.

Gene-deleted mice have provided a potent tool in efforts to understand the roles of complement and complement-regulating proteins in vivo. In particular, mice deficient in the membrane regulators complement receptor 1-related gene/protein y, decay-accelerating factor, or CD59 have demonstrated homeostatic relevance and backcrossing between the strains has revealed cooperativity in regulation. In mouse, genes encoding decay-accelerating factor and CD59 have been duplicated and show differential expression in tissues, complicating interpretation and extrapolation of findings to man. The first described form of CD59, CD59a, is broadly distributed and deletion of the cd59a gene causes a mild hemolytic phenotype with increased susceptibility in complement-mediated disease models. The distribution of the second form, CD59b, was originally described as testis specific, but later by some as widespread. Deletion of the cd59b gene caused a severe hemolytic and thrombotic phenotype. To apply data from these mouse models to man it is essential to know the relative distribution and functional roles of these two forms of CD59. We have generated new specific reagents and used them in sensitive quantitative analyses to comprehensively characterize expression of mRNA and protein and functional roles of CD59a and CD59b in wild-type (wt) and CD59a-negative mice. cd59b mRNA was detected only in testis and, at very low levels, in bone marrow. CD59b protein was present on mature spermatozoa and precursors and, in trace amounts, erythrocytes. Erythrocyte CD59b did not inhibit complement lysis except when CD59a was absent or blocked. These data confirm that CD59a is the primary regulator of complement membrane attack in mouse.

Rat membrane cofactor protein (MCP; CD46) is expressed only in the acrosome of developing and mature spermatozoa and mediates binding to immobilized activated C3.

The rat analogue of the complement regulator membrane cofactor protein (MCP; CD46) was recently cloned and analysis at the mRNA level suggested that expression was restricted to testis. In light of the proposed roles of human MCP in sperm-egg interaction, we undertook to analyze rat MCP expression at the protein level in order better to address its putative role in fertilization. Recombinant fusion proteins comprising antibody Fc and specific domains of rat MCP were generated and used to develop a monoclonal antibody, MM.1, specific for rat MCP. Immunohistochemistry using these reagents confirmed the reported testis-specific expression of MCP in sexually mature rats and demonstrated that MCP was expressed only by spermatozoa and their immediate precursors in spermiogenesis, spermatids. Prepubertal male rats did not express MCP, and there was no evidence of MCP expression at any site in the embryo. Spermatozoal MCP expression was restricted to the inner acrosomal membrane, exposed only after fixation or induction of the acrosome reaction. Acrosome-reacted but not unreacted spermatozoa bound methylamine-activated C3 immobilized on plastic. The retention of MCP at this subcellular site, which is probably crucial to sperm-egg interaction, and the functional demonstration of binding to activated C3 strengthen suggestions from human studies that MCP may play an important role in fertilization. The reagents and results described here will enable studies of the role of spermatozoal MCP in sperm-egg interaction using a relevant animal model system.

Monoglucosylated glycans in the secreted human complement component C3: implications for protein biosynthesis and structure.

The monoglucosylated oligomannose N-linked oligosaccharide (Glc(1)Man(9)GlcNAc(2)) is a retention signal for the calnexin-calreticulin quality control pathway in the endoplasmic reticulum. We report here the presence of such monoglucosylated N-glycans on the human complement serum glycoprotein C3. This finding represents the first report of monoglucosylated glycans on a human serum glycoprotein from non-diseased individuals. The presence of the glucose moiety in 5% of the human C3 glycoprotein suggests that this glycosylation site is sequestered within the protein and is consistent with previous studies identifying a cryptic conglutinin binding site on C3 that becomes exposed upon its conversion to iC3b.

Analysis of the level of mRNA expression of the membrane regulators of complement, CD59, CD55 and CD46, in breast cancer.

We have examined the relative mRNA expression of the complement (C) regulatory proteins CD59, CD55 and CD46 in RNA isolated from 50 primary breast cancer specimens using a semiquantitative RT-PCR approach. Having normalized the mRNA expression levels of the C regulators relative to actin, we subsequently correlated their expression with estrogen receptor (ER) and various clinical, pathologic and biochemical features of the disease. CD59 and CD46 were detected in all clinical biopsies, while CD55 mRNA was detected in the majority of samples. The comparative levels of expression between the 3 regulators analyzed, using Spearman rank correlation test, revealed a significant association (p = 0.01; r = 0.36) between CD46 and CD59. CD46 exhibited the most striking pattern of association, with increased levels of expression being associated with ER-positive samples and lower levels of expression associated with a loss of differentiation and epidermal growth factor receptor positivity. Application of Spearman rank correlation test revealed CD46 expression was significantly associated with expression of ER at the level of protein (p = 0.031; r = 0.31) and mRNA (p < 0.001; r = 0.52). CD46 expression also correlated with insulin-like growth factor receptor-positive samples using Spearman rank correlation test (p = 0.016; r = 0.34), but negatively associated with tumor samples either exhibiting histologic grade 3 when compared to grades 1 or 2 or displaying elevated levels of inflammatory cell infiltrate. Immunohistochemical analysis of a limited series (n = 8) of paraffin-embedded breast cancers indicated that the level of CD46 protein expression directly associates with that of the mRNA and, where prominent, is localized in the tumor epithelial cell population, including at the plasma membrane. These data provide new information on expression of these important regulators in breast cancer and suggest that CD46 should be evaluated as a novel prognostic indicator.

Respective roles of decay-accelerating factor and CD59 in circumventing glomerular injury in acute nephrotoxic serum nephritis.

Decay-accelerating factor (DAF or CD55) and CD59 are regulators that protect self cells from C3b deposition and C5b-9 assembly on their surfaces. Their relative roles in protecting glomeruli in immune-mediated renal diseases in vivo are unknown. We induced nephrotoxic serum (NTS) nephritis in Daf1(-/-), CD59a(-/-), Daf1(-/-)CD59a(-/-), and wild-type (WT) mice by administering NTS IgG. After 18 h, we assessed proteinuria, and performed histological, immunohistochemical, and electron microscopic analyses of kidneys. Twenty-four mice in each group were studied. Baseline albuminuria in the Daf1(-/-), CD59a(-/-), and Daf1(-/-)CD59a(-/-) mice was 82, 83, and 139 as compared with 92 microg/mg creatinine in the WT controls (p > 0.1). After NTS, albuminuria in CD59a(-/-) and WT mice (186 +/- 154 and 183 +/- 137 microg/mg creatinine, p > 0.1) was similar. In contrast, Daf1(-/-) mice developed severe albuminuria (378 +/- 520, p < 0.05) that was further exacerbated in Daf1(-/-)CD59a(-/-) mice (577 +/- 785 micro g/mg creatinine, p < 0.05). Glomerular histology showed essentially no infiltrating leukocytes in any group. In contrast, electron microscopy revealed prominent podocyte foot process effacement in Daf1(-/-) mice with more widespread and severe damage in the double knockouts compared with only mild focal changes in CD59a(-/-) or WT mice. In all animals, deposition of administered (sheep) NTS Ig was equivalent. This contrasted with marked deposition of both C3 and C9 in Daf1(-/-)CD59a(-/-) and Daf1(-/-) mice, which was evident as early as 2 h post-NTS injection. The results support the proposition that in autoantibody-mediated nephritis, DAF serves as the primary barrier to classical pathway-mediated injury, while CD59 limits consequent C5b-9-mediated cell damage.

Molecular cloning, expression, function and immunoreactivities of members of a gene family of sphingomyelinases from Loxosceles venom glands.

Loxoscelism is the clinical condition produced by the venom of spiders belonging to the genus Loxosceles, which can be observed as two well-defined clinical variants: cutaneous loxoscelism and systemic or viscerocutaneous loxoscelism. We have recently identified, purified and characterised the toxins (sphingomyelinases) from Loxosceles intermedia venom that are responsible for all the local (dermonecrosis) and systemic effects (complement dependent haemolysis) induced by whole venom. In the present study, we have cloned and expressed the two functional sphingomyelinases isoforms, P1 and P2, and shown that the recombinant proteins display all the functional characteristics of whole L. intermedia venom, e.g., dermonecrotic and complement-dependent hemolytic activities and ability of hydrolyzing sphingomyelin. We have also compared the cross-reactivities of antisera raised against the toxins from different Loxosceles species and show here that the cross-reactivity is high when toxins are from the same species (P1 and P2 from L. intermedia) but low when the toxins are from different species (L. intermedia versus L. laeta). These data suggest that in order to obtain a suitable comprehensive neutralizing antiserum using the recombinant toxin as an immunogen, a mixture of the recombinant toxins from the different species has to be used. The use of anti-recombinant toxin antisera may have clinical benefits to those individuals displaying acute loxoscelic lesions.

CD59a deficiency exacerbates ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice.

The terminal complement components C5a and the membrane attack complex are involved in the pathogenesis of ischemia-reperfusion injury in many organs. CD59 is the major regulator of membrane attack complex formation. Mice deficient in the Cd59a gene (mCd59a-/-) were used to investigate the role of CD59 in renal ischemia-reperfusion injury. Unilateral ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced by clamping the left renal pedicle for 30 minutes under general anesthetic. Mice were studied at 72 hours and 2 weeks after ischemia-reperfusion injury. mCd59a-/- mice developed significantly greater tubular injury (P = 0.01), tubulointerstitial apoptosis (P = 0.02), and neutrophil influx (P = 0.04) than controls at 72 hours after ischemia-reperfusion. Two weeks after ischemia-reperfusion, mCd59a-/- mice exhibited more severe tubular damage predominantly in a corticomedullary distribution than controls (P = 0.02). Quantification of interstitial leukocytes revealed significantly greater numbers of infiltrating lymphocytes (but not macrophages) in mCd59a-/- mice than controls (P = 0.04) at 2 weeks. At both time points, significantly more C9 (as a marker of membrane attack complex) deposition occurred in a peritubular distribution in mCd59a-/- mice than controls. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that the lack of CD59a, by allowing unregulated membrane attack complex deposition, exacerbates both the tubular injury and the interstitial leukocyte infiltrate after ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice.

Biological activity, membrane-targeting modification, and crystallization of soluble human decay accelerating factor expressed in E. coli.

Decay-accelerating factor (DAF, CD55) is a glycophosphatidyl inositol-anchored glycoprotein that regulates the activity of C3 and C5 convertases. In addition to understanding the mechanism of complement inhibition by DAF through structural studies, there is also an interest in the possible therapeutic potential of the molecule. In this report we describe the cloning, expression in Escherichia coli, isolation and membrane-targeting modification of the four short consensus repeat domains of soluble human DAF with an additional C-terminal cysteine residue to permit site-specific modification. The purified refolded recombinant protein was active against both classical and alternative pathway assays of complement activation and had similar biological activity to soluble human DAF expressed in Pichia pastoris. Modification with a membrane-localizing peptide restored cell binding and gave a large increase in antihemolytic potency. These data suggested that the recombinant DAF was correctly folded and suitable for structural studies as well as being the basis for a DAF-derived therapeutic. Crystals of the E. coli-derived protein were obtained and diffracted to 2.2 A, thus permitting the first detailed X-ray crystallography studies on a functionally active human complement regulator protein with direct therapeutic potential.

Human diffusely adhering Escherichia coli expressing Afa/Dr adhesins that use human CD55 (decay-accelerating factor) as a receptor does not bind the rodent and pig analogues of CD55.

Afa/Dr diffusely adhering Escherichia coli (DAEC) bacteria that are responsible for recurrent urinary tract and gastrointestinal infections recognized as a receptor the glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein decay-accelerating factor (DAF; CD55) at the brush border of cultured human intestinal cells. Results show that Afa/Dr DAEC C1845 bacteria were poorly associated with the mucosa of the gastrointestinal tract of infected mice. We conducted experiments with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells stably transfected with mouse (GPI or transmembrane forms), pig, or human CD55 or mouse Crry cDNAs or transfected with empty vector pDR2EF1 alpha. Recombinant E. coli AAEC185 bacteria expressing Dr or F1845 adhesins bound strongly to CHO cells expressing human CD55 but not to the CHO cells expressing mouse (transmembrane and GPI anchored), rat, or pig CD55 or mouse Crry. Positive clustering of CD55 around Dr-positive bacteria was observed in human CD55-expressing CHO cells but not around the rarely adhering Dr-positive bacteria randomly distributed at the cell surface of CHO cells expressing mouse, rat, or pig CD55.
