Abstract. Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) may be
important in the pathophysiology of necrotizing vasculitis. ANCA activate
human neutrophils primed with tumor necrosis factor-
(TNF-
)
in vitro. TNF-
priming results in translocation of ANCA
antigens to the cell surface, where they are recognized by the antibodies. The
signaling mechanisms involved in TNF-
priming and subsequent
ANCA-induced activation were investigated. TNF-
-primed neutrophils were
stimulated with monoclonal antibodies (MAb) to human myeloperoxidase (MPO) and
proteinase 3 (PR3), and with preparations of human ANCA (three patients with
PR3-ANCA and two patients with MPO-ANCA). Respiratory burst was measured with
superoxide dismutase-inhibitable ferricytochrome C reduction and using
dihydro-rhodamine-1,2,3. Phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein
kinase (p38-MAPK) and the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) were
assessed by immunoblotting. ANCA-antigen translocation was studied by flow
cytometry. The tyrosine phosphorylation inhibitor genistein, but not
calphostin or staurosporin, resulted in a significant dose-dependent
superoxide generation inhibition (11.6 ± 1.7 nmol to 2.1 ± 0.5
for PR3-ANCA, and 16.0 ± 2.8 to 3.3 ± 1.3 for MPO-ANCA). The
p38-MAPK inhibitor (SB202190) and the ERK inhibitor (PD98059) diminished
PR3-ANCA-mediated superoxide production dose dependently (11.6 ± 1.7
nmol O2- to 1.9 ± 0.6 with 50 µM SB202190 and
4.0 ± 0.6 with 50 µM PD098059, respectively). For MPO-ANCA, the
results were similar (16.0 ± 2.8 nmol to 0.9 ± 1.0 nmol with
SB202190 and 6.4 ± 2.4 nmol with PD98059, respectively). Western blot
showed phosphorylation of both p38-MAPK and ERK during TNF-
priming.
The p38-MAPK inhibitor and the ERK inhibitor showed the strongest effect on
respiratory burst when added before TNF-
priming, further supporting an
important role for both signaling pathways in the priming process. Flow
cytometry showed that p38-MAPK inhibition decreased the translocation of PR3
(by 93 ± 2%) and of MPO (by 64 ± 2%). In contrast, no such
effect was seen when ERK was inhibited. Thus, p38-MAPK and ERK are important
for the TNF-
-mediated priming of neutrophils enabling subsequent
ANCA-induced respiratory burst. However, both pathways show differential
effects, whereby p38-MAPK controls the translocation of ANCA antigens to the
cell surface.
