Disease relevance of Fcgr3

 

High impact information on Fcgr3

  • The gamma subunit of immunoglobulin Fc receptors is an essential component of the high-affinity receptor for IgG (Fc gamma RIII) and is associated with the high-affinity receptor for IgG (Fc gamma RI) and the T cell receptor-CD3 complex [6].
  • Mouse monoclonal antibodies, as well as the humanized, clinically effective therapeutic agents trastuzumab (Herceptin(R)) and rituximab (Rituxan(R)), engaged both activation (FcgammaRIII) and inhibitory (FcgammaRIIB) antibody receptors on myeloid cells, thus modulating their cytotoxic potential [7].
  • Here, we show that the arthritogenic Igs act through both Fc receptors (in particular, FcgammaRIII) and the complement network (C5a) [8].
  • FcRgamma signaling is also defective, resulting in a loss of collagen-induced platelet aggregation, mast cell FcepsilonR function, and NK cell FcgammaRIII and 2B4 function [9].
  • FcRbeta is a subunit common to the high-affinity IgE (FcepsilonRI) and low-affinity IgG (FcgammaRIII) receptors, both of which contribute to the initiation of allergic reactions [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Fcgr3

  • In contrast, neither mast cells nor platelets appeared important for antigen-induced anaphylaxis, which was FcgammaRIII and macrophage dependent and mediated predominantly by PAF [11].
  • BACKGROUND: Although anaphylaxis is classically mediated by IgE, FcepsilonRI, mast cells, and histamine, several rodent studies suggest that an alternative pathway involving IgG, FcgammaRIII, macrophages and platelets, and platelet-activating factor (PAF) may be more important in the anaphylactic response to antigen challenge [11].
 

Biological context of Fcgr3

 

Anatomical context of Fcgr3

  • IgG1 CD20 mAbs induced B cell depletion through preferential, if not exclusive, interactions with low-affinity FcgammaRIII [15].
  • The IC-mediated slow leukocyte rolling velocity and subsequent adhesion and emigration are dependent on Fcgamma receptors (FcgammaRs), particularly FcgammaRIII, with complement C3 and C5 having no detectable role [16].
  • An unexpected critical role of the low-affinity FcgammaRIII was revealed by the use of two different IgG2a anti-red blood cell autoantibodies, which displayed a striking preferential utilization of FcgammaRIII, compared with the high-affinity FcgammaRI [17].
  • We confirmed that IC inflammation of skin can be mediated largely by mast cells expressing C5aR and FcgammaRIII [18].
  • Chondrocyte death was reduced in Fc gamma RIII(-/-) mice (68% lower) and enhanced in Fc gamma RII(-/-) mice (6-12-fold higher) [19].
 

Associations of Fcgr3 with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of Fcgr3

 

Regulatory relationships of Fcgr3

  • These data suggest that in immune complex alveolitis, the activation of FcgammaRIII may induce divergent downstream effector pathways with TNF-alpha acting independently of CXC chemokines to trigger the inflammatory response in C57BL/6 mice [1].
  • Taken together, our results define a novel regulatory pathway with opposite regulation of FcgammaRII (suppressed) and FcgammaRIII (induced) by IFN-gamma on MCs in vitro and anti-GBM IgG in vivo [27].
  • However, mice lacking either the FcgammaRII or the FcgammaRIII were fully capable of upregulating IL-10 production, implicating FcgammaRI in this process [28].
  • We fine that day 14.5 CD4-CD8- double-negative (DN) fetal thymocytes of Fc epsilon RI gamma-/- mice express mRNA of both Fc gamma RIIb1 and Fc gamma RIII [29].
  • IL-4 selectively enhances FcgammaRIII expression and signaling on mouse mast cells [30].
 

Other interactions of Fcgr3

  • The high-affinity receptor for IgG, FcgammaRI, shares its capacity to bind IgG2a immune complexes (IgG2a-IC) with the low-affinity receptor FcgammaRIII and complement factors, hampering the definition of its biological role [31].
  • IgG Fc receptors (FcgammaRs, especially FcgammaRIII) and complement (in particular, C5a anaphylatoxin) are critical effectors of the acute inflammatory response to immune complexes (ICs) [32].
  • Mice lacking Fc gamma RIII showed almost no PG depletion, whereas in Fc gamma RII(-/-) mice, PG depletion was increased 3-7-fold in various cartilage areas [19].
  • Enhancement was in the same order of magnitude in Fc gamma RIII-/- mice (</=177-fold of controls administered Ag alone), whereas it was abrogated in FcR gamma-/- mice and augmented in Fc gamma RII-/- mice (</=5147-fold of controls) [33].
  • Depending on antibody isotype, mouse B cell depletion is regulated by FcgammaRI-, FcgammaRII-, FcgammaRIII-, and FcgammaRIV-dependent pathways [34].
