mβ2), a leukocyte adhesion receptor, has been shown in vitro to functionally interact with Fc
receptors to facilitate immune complex (IC)–stimulated polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) functions. To investigate the relevance of Mac-1–Fc
R interactions in IC-mediated injury in vivo, we induced a model of Fc-dependent anti–glomerular basement membrane (GBM) nephritis in wild-type and Mac-1–deficient mice by the intravenous injection of anti-GBM antibody. The initial glomerular PMN accumulation was equivalent in Mac-1 null and wild-type mice, but thereafter increased in wild-type and decreased in mutant mice. The absence of Mac-1 interactions with obvious ligands, intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1), and C3 complement, is not responsible for the decrease in neutrophil accumulation in Mac-1– deficient mice since glomerular PMN accumulation in mice deficient in these ligands was comparable to those in wild-type mice. In vitro studies showed that spreading of Mac-1–null PMNs to IC-coated dishes was equivalent to that of wild-type PMNs at 5–12 min but was markedly reduced thereafter, and was associated with an inability of mutant neutrophils to redistribute filamentous actin. This suggests that in vivo, Mac-1 is not required for the initiation of Fc-mediated PMN recruitment but that Mac-1–Fc
R interactions are required for filamentous actin reorganization leading to sustained PMN adhesion, and this represents the first demonstration of the relevance of Mac-1–Fc
R interactions in vivo. PMN-dependent proteinuria, maximal in wild-type mice at 8 h, was absent in Mac-1 mutant mice at all time points. Complement C3–deficient mice also had significantly decreased proteinuria compared to wild-type mice. Since Mac-1 on PMNs is the principal ligand for ic3b, an absence of Mac-1 interaction with C3 probably contributed to the abrogation of proteinuria in Mac-1–null mice.

Histologic Studies.
Rabbit anti-GBM antiserum deposition in mouse glomeruli was quantitated by immunofluorescence. 4 µM frozen sections prepared from kidneys harvested from wild-type and mutant mice 1 h after anti-GBM injections were incubated with a 1:200 and 1:350 dilution of FITC-tagged secondary antibody (goat anti–rabbit, Vector Laboratories Inc., Burlingame, CA). These dilutions were saturating as determined by the following method: secondary antibody dilutions ranging from 1:100 to 1:5,000 were applied to wild-type kidney sections and the fluorescence images from stained sections were acquired for 0.1 s using Oncor Image Analysis software (Oncor, Inc., Gaithersburg, MD), in combination with a Nikon microphot-FXA microscope and a 12-bit cooled CCD SenSys camera (Photometrics, Tucson, AZ), to obtain digital images. These digital images were then processed using a Optimas Image analysis program. An index of fluorescence specifically associated with the glomeruli was calculated using an Optimas program (designed by Edward Marcus, Ed Marcus Laboratories, Boston, MA) which calculates the following: average luminance (filtered) which is defined as the sum of gray levels/ number of pixels in the selected region both within selected glomeruli (Fg), and in the area within the tubules that is designated as the background (Bg). The filter function of the program is applied to smooth small luminance variations, before detection of the primary luminance peak. This was necessary because measurement of the staining intensity within the glomeruli might be affected by FITC-stained glomerular capillaries present within an unstained background. The ratio of Fg over Bg (Fg/Bg) was used as an index of fluorescence specifically associated with the glomeruli. Plotting of these indices obtained for the serial dilutions of secondary antibody assured that secondary antibody dilutions of 1:200 and 1:350 were saturating. Glomerular cross-sections of wild-type and mutant mice were processed with secondary antibody dilutions of both these dilutions and analyzed as described above. These dilutions gave similar results, therefore only data obtained from the 1:200 dilution is shown.
Determination of Urinary Albumin and the Creatinine Concentration.
Isolation of murine PMNs.
Adhesion Assay.
Isolated murine PMNs (3–5 x 105cells/well, in 0.6 ml RPMI) were placed in 12-well dishes containing coverslips and incubated in a 5% CO2 incubator at 37°C. At indicated time points, coverslips were washed twice in PBS, fixed with 1.25% glutaraldehyde, stained with Giemsa, and mounted on slides with permount. Adherent PMNs were quantitated as follows: the total number of adherent PMNs in 10 high (x40) powered fields (HPF) was determined and expressed as number of adherent cells per HPF. This number was then converted to the percentage of control binding (set at 100%), which was that observed for wild-type PMNs incubated with IC-coated coverslips for 5 min. Therefore, adherent cells (% control) = (total bound cells per HPF)/(total bound cells per HPF at 5 min for wild-type) x 100%. Spread PMNs were identified as cells with abundant cytoplasm and a flattened nucleus and the percentage of spread was determined as explained above for determining percentage of adherent PMNs. This conversion to percentage of control was necessary since the number of murine PMNs isolated from wild-type and mutant mice varied between individual experiments, although within the same experiment equal numbers of wild-type and mutant PMNs were used. Adherence of mouse PMNs to IC and BSA was very efficient. For example, for wild-type PMNs, after a 5 and 40 min incubation the number of PMNs adherent to IC-coated coverslips (144 mm2) was 1.9 ± 0.4 x 105 and 3.2 ± 0.2 x 105, respectively. This represents
F-Actin Staining.
Quantitation of LTB4.
At the indicated time points, medium was collected into ice-cold eppendorf tubes and spun at 750 g (4°C) for 10 min to remove cells. The supernatants were transferred to fresh ice-cold tubes and the ELISA assay was performed in duplicate following the manufacturer's protocol.
Statistics.
mβ2, CD11b/CD18, and complement receptor type 3), a β2 integrin present primarily on granulocytes and monocytes, binds intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1),1 an endothelial leukocyte adhesion receptor, complement C3 fragment C3bi, matrix molecule heparin, and coagulation factors fibrinogen and factor X. It mediates several adhesion-dependent processes in leukocytes, such as adhesion to the endothelium, phagocytosis, superoxide production, and other activation events (1). We have recently demonstrated that mice rendered genetically deficient in Mac-1 are severely compromised in chemoattractant leukotriene B4 (LTB4)–induced leukocyte adhesion to the vessel wall in vivo (2). Mac-1–deficient murine polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs), are unable to phagocytose complement-opsonized particles, have reduced spreading and oxygen radical generation compared to normal PMNs, and show an unanticipated defect in PMN apoptosis (2). The role of Mac-1 in these functions presumably contributes to the abnormal adhesion, spreading, phagocytosis and generation of the oxidative burst in PMNs of patients with leukocyte adhesion deficiency type 1 (LAD-1), a disease resulting from a congenital deficiency in β2 integrins (1).
R to mediate a number of neutrophil functional responses after engagement of Fc
R with immune complexes (ICs). These include IC-stimulated phagocytosis, adhesion, and tyrosine phosphorylation (3–8). Mac-1 probably mediates these processes by directly interacting with Fc
R on the neutrophil surface (9–11). This interaction occurs at a site distinct from the ligand binding A domain of Mac-1, probably through the COOH-terminal lectin-like domain (9). Mac-1 also associates with the cytoskeleton during neutrophil interaction with ICs (5, 7, 10, 12), which may promote IC-stimulated PMN functions.
R-IgG effector functions has been described in vitro, the in vivo relevance of this interaction has not been previously examined. We therefore assessed the role of Mac-1 in acute, passive, heterologous anti–glomerular basement membrane (GBM) nephritis in which immobilized GBM–anti-GBM ICs trigger rapid glomerular PMN accumulation and PMN-dependent leakage of albumin into the urine (13, 14). Importantly, in this model, glomerular neutrophil recruitment is Fc-dependent, since (Fab)2 fragments of this antibody do not promote neutrophil accumulation (14). Neutrophil accumulation is largely complement-independent since C5a-deficient mice and cobra venom factor–treated animals still exhibit PMN influx (14, 15). PMN accumulation is transient: PMNs remain adherent to the lumen of IC-coated vessels ("frustrated phagocytosis") but then presumably detach and return to the blood stream (16) to meet their fate in the spleen or liver. The observed proteinuria has been ascribed to cathepsin G and elastase released from PMNs accumulated in the glomeruli (17).
R interactions at the neutrophil cell surface which are required for firm attachment and spreading of neutrophils on ICs. We also report that proteinuria is complement dependent. This suggests that the lack of proteinuria in the Mac-1–null mice may result from the lack of Mac-1 interaction with the ic3b fragment of complement C3, a well described ligand for Mac-1.

Animals and Experimental Protocols.
Mac-1–deficient mice were recently generated by standard gene targeting techniques (2). These mice and their wild-type mates are a mixed strain of 129SV and C57Bl/6. They are bred and maintained in a virus-antibody free facility at the Longwood Medical Research Center (Boston, MA). Experimental animals were 8–14 wk of age and were sex-matched. Both males and females were used. 25% of the experimental mice used at each time point were littermates from heterozygous matings. The remainder were the progeny of wild-type and Mac-1–null homozygous matings. Previously generated mice deficient in ICAM-1 (18) were of a pure C57Bl/6 background strain, were 8 wk old, and were age- and sex-matched with their wild-type mates. Mice deficient in complement C3 and C4 were 7–8-wk-old females of a mixed 129Sv and C57Bl/6 strain. ICAM-1 and complement-deficient mice were bred and maintained in a virus-antibody free facility at Harvard Medical School.
1 h before injection of 0.25 ml anti-GBM antiserum per mouse (14). At 1, 2, 4, 8, and 18 h after the injection, urine and blood samples (by retroorbital bleed) were collected. Animals were then killed and both kidneys were harvested.
Kidneys were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde, paraffin-embedded or frozen in OCT compound embedding medium (Miles, Inc., Elkhart, IN), and sectioned. 5-µM paraffin-embedded sections were stained for dichloroacetate esterase to identify PMNs and tissue was counterstained with nuclear-fast red (19). The number of PMNs in 100 glomeruli (50/each kidney) in cross-sections were counted per animal without prior knowledge of the genotype of the animal. For electron microscopy, glomeruli from one wild-type and one Mac-1–null nephritic animal, 1 h after anti-GBM antibody injection, were examined by standard techniques. 15 wild-type and Mac-1–null intraglomerular capillary PMNs were examined.
Urinary albumin was determined by a double-sandwich ELISA as previously detailed (13). Urinary creatinine was quantitated spectrophotometrically using a commercially available kit (Sigma Chemical Co., St. Louis, MO). To standardize urine albumin excretion for glomerular filtration rate, proteinuria was expressed as microgram of urinary albumin per milligram of urinary creatinine (20).
Peripheral blood was obtained by retroorbital sampling and was collected in 5 mM EDTA. Blood samples from 6 to 7 mice, typically yielding 6–7 ml of blood, were pooled and layered over a Nim.2 neutrophil isolation medium according to manufacturer's protocols (Cardinal Associates, Santa Fe, NM), and referred to as one experimental sample. Red cells contaminating the neutrophil preparation were lysed with ice-cold 0.2% NaCl. Neutrophils were resuspended in RPMI medium.
BSA–anti-BSA ICs and BSA were immobilized on glass coverslips. According to the manufacturer's technical information, the BSA (a 35% solution, ICN Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Costa Mesa, CA) was heat-shocked, and contained no vitronectin or fibrinogen. Glass coverslips (12 x 12 cm) were treated with 0.1 mg/ml poly-D-lysine (mol wt
70,000, Sigma Chemical Co.) for 1 h, treated with 2.5% glutaraldehyde for 15 min, and washed extensively in ddH2O followed by two PBS washes. Coverslips were then coated with 1 mg/ml BSA for 30 min, washed twice in PBS, incubated with 0.1 M glycine for 2 h to quench aldehyde groups, and then incubated with 20 µg of rabbit anti-BSA IgG (Sigma Chem. Co., St. Louis, MO) in 0.5 ml of PBS for 1 h. This concentration of anti-BSA IgG has been previously shown to yield maximum adhesion of human PMNs to ICs and LTB4 release from these cells (21). All these procedures were done at room temperature.
44 ± 4 and 82 ± 21% of the total number of PMNs applied to the coverslip. The number of wild-type PMNs adherent to coverslips coated with BSA alone after 5 and 40 min incubations was 2.1 ± 0.5 x 105 and 2.8 ± 0.5 x 105, respectively, and represented 40 ± 4 and 59 ± 9% of the total number of PMNs applied to the coverslip.
PMNs that adhered to IC-coated glass coverslips for 5 or 40 minutes were stained with rhodamine phalloidin (Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene, OR) according to manufacturer's protocols. In brief, coverslips were washed in PBS, fixed in 3.7% formaldehyde/PBS for 10 min, and extracted for 3–5 min on ice with 0.1% Triton X-100 buffer. Coverslips were then washed in PBS and incubated with 160 nM rhodamine phalloidin in PBS for 20 min at room temperature. Coverslips were mounted with Cytoseal (Stephens Scientific, Riverdale, NJ) and stored at 4°C.
LTB4 levels in media collected from PMNs adherent to IC-coated surfaces were quantitated using an ELISA assay for murine LTB4 (PerSeptive Diagnostics, Cambridge, MA). According to manufacturer's data, the ELISA assay has a detection limit of 8.9 pg/ml. Its cross-reactivity with other major arachidonic acid products, e.g., LTC4, LTD4, LTE4, 5-HETE (hydroxy eicosatetraenoic acid), 12-HETE, and 15-HETE, is less than 1%, as is its cross-activity with LTB4 degradation products 20-carboxy-LTB4 and 20-hydroxy-LTB4.
Data are expressed as mean ± SEM. Unpaired student's t tests were performed for data and P <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Mac-1 Is Required for Glomerular PMN Accumulation and Proteinuria in Anti-GBM Nephritis.
We injected anti-GBM antibody into Mac-1–deficient mice and their wild-type counterparts and measured glomerular neutrophil accumulation and proteinuria. 1 h after anti-serum injection, neutrophil glomerular accumulation was the same in null and wild-type mice, suggesting that initial PMN recruitment is unaffected by Mac-1 deficiency. In contrast, at 2 h, the peak of PMN accumulation in wild-type animals, there was a significant reduction in the number of glomerular PMNs present in null mice compared with wild-type. The difference in glomerular PMN counts between wild-type and mutant mice persisted at 4 h but by 18 h the counts declined to baseline levels in mice of both genotypes (Fig. 1 A). The peripheral blood PMN counts were similar in wild-type and null mice at each experimental time point (data not shown).
|
The decreased PMN accumulation in null mice cannot be attributed to reduced binding of anti-GBM antibody in the glomeruli of these mice since a quantitative immuno-fluorescence analysis of anti-GBM deposition in the glomeruli revealed no differences between wild-type and null mice (Table 1). This conclusion is also supported by the fact that neutrophil recruitment at 1 h after anti-GBM injection (Fig. 1 A) was similar in wild-type and mutant mice.

The next series of in vitro experiments were undertaken to address the following hypothesis: equal glomerular PMN accumulation in wild-type and mutant mice at 1 h is driven by neutrophil Fc receptors engaging immobilized IC, since this model is Fc-dependent, but Mac-1 may be required for subsequent sustained adhesion and elaboration of chemo-kines that promote further PMN recruitment in wild-type animals at the 2 h time point (Fig. 1 A).
Sustained Neutrophil Interaction with IC-coated Surfaces Requires Mac-1.
We examined adhesion and spreading of wild-type and Mac-1–null PMNs on IC-coated surfaces. To mimic the GBM–anti-GBM interactions in vitro, slides were coated with BSA–anti-BSA IgG complexes. The IC-coated surfaces were incubated with resting peripheral blood PMNs isolated from wild-type and null mice (under static conditions) in the absence of serum, thus eliminating potential effects of complement in the assay. The total number of adherent cells was measured at 5, 12, 25, and 40 min. A similar analysis was conducted on PMNs incubated with BSA-coated surfaces alone to discern effects due to BSA from those that were IC-specific. A time course of total binding of PMNs to IC-coated surfaces revealed that initial adhesion to IC, within 5 and 12 min after addition of PMNs, was similar in mutant and wild-type mice (Fig. 4). At 25 and 40 min, wild-type PMNs continued to accumulate on the IC, leading to a >50% increase over that seen at 12 min. In Mac-1–null PMNs, the number of IC-adherent PMNs remained the same over a similar time course. Incubation times >40 min did not lead to further enhancement in numbers of adherent PMNs in either wild-type or mutant samples (data not shown). The number of wild-type and mutant PMNs adherent to BSA at 5 or 40 min was similar in wild-type and null cells, suggesting that the observed Mac-1–mediated effects are specific for IC-coated surfaces (Fig. 4).

PMN LTB4 Production Is the Same in Wild-type and Mutant PMNs Adherent to IC.
To assess whether the decrease in PMN accumulation at 2 h is caused by inhibition of secretion of a chemoattractant by mutant PMNs, we examined the release of an arachidonic acid metabolite LTB4, since a previous study had shown that β2 integrins are required for IC-stimulated LTB4 production (21). In addition, LTB4 has been linked to the activation and morphologic polarization of PMNs and therefore may be required for sustaining PMN spreading. We measured LTB4 secreted by wild-type and mutant PMNs bound to IC-coated surfaces by an ELISA assay for murine LTB4. In wild-type PMNs, LTB4 was detected in the media at 5 min after neutrophil interaction with IC-coated surfaces and had increased 25-fold by 40 min (Fig. 6). We detected no significant differences in the amount of LTB4 released by wild-type and mutant PMNs at all time points tested, suggesting that Mac-1 is not required for LTB4 production.

R-Mac-1–mediated PMN recruitment model in glomerular capillaries with the multistep paradigm of selectin-induced PMN rolling, which is most relevant at high shear stress (25, 26), followed by firm integrin–dependent adhesion seen in venules. This is because the hemodynamic forces in the glomerular capillaries are different than in venules. Additionally, these forces are known to be significantly altered during glomerulonephritis, with no measurements of shear stress available under these conditions. Finally, leukocyte rolling has not been directly investigated in glomerular capillaries.
The in vitro study suggests that the decrease in neutrophil accumulation in glomeruli of mutant mice at 2 h is due to an inability of mutant PMNs to sustain Fc-mediated adhesion to the immobilized ICs. In vivo this presumably leads to their detachment into the bloodstream. Since complement C3 is not involved in PMN accumulation in vivo, the in vitro adhesion assays to ICs were performed in the absence of serum, thus eliminating potential effects of complement in the assay. In vitro, we have shown that Mac-1– deficient PMNs can initially accumulate and spread on immobilized ICs at wild-type levels, but have a defect in subsequent adhesion and spreading compared to wild-type PMNs. Therefore, Mac-1 is not essential for initial Fc
R attachment to ICs but is required for stabilizing PMN interactions with these complexes. We also observed a lack of F-actin redistribution in Mac-1–deficient PMNs contacting ICs. This indicates a role for Mac-1 in actin regulation after engagement of ICs, which may be necessary for PMN spreading. In fact, Mac-1 has previously been implicated in regulating F-actin assembly; Mac-1 is required for tyrosine phosphorylation of the cytoskeletal protein paxillin after neutrophil adhesion to ICs (27). Phosphorylation of paxillin, known to provide a binding site for the SH3 domains of src family tyrosine kinases, may play a key role in IgG-induced signaling (8).
The defect in sustained spreading of mutant PMNs on ICs (<10% of wild-type at 40 min) had no effect on release of LTB4 from these cells, suggesting that spreading is not required for this process. Release of LTB4, a potent neutrophil chemoattractant produced during PMN interaction with ICs, was previously shown to require the β2 integrins (21). Together, these studies suggest that one of the other β2 integrins present on neutrophils, LFA-1 or p150,95, may be required for LTB4 release. The release of other chemoattractants may be affected in the absence of Fc
R–Mac-1 interactions, thus accounting for the increase in PMN accumulation in wild-type mice, but not in the mutant mice, at 2 h. The potential chemoattractants that could be responsible for this effect are numerous and were not investigated.
In vivo, a striking absence of PMN-dependent proteinuria in Mac-1–null mice was observed despite the wild-type levels of PMN accumulation 1 h after induction of nephritis. This is even more significant given that, in electron micrographs, the glomeruli of mutant mice at this time point showed similar endothelial denudation as that of wild-types, and PMNs were in intimate contact with the GBMs. This would suggest that Mac-1–null PMNs are able to activate IC-stimulated functions that lead to endothelial injury. Indeed, IC-triggered superoxide production (21, 28) and rise in intracytoplasmic calcium in PMNs (21) do not require the β2 integrins. However, events leading to GBM damage and subsequent increased permeability to albumin are lacking in mutant PMNs. Our results in the Mac-1–deficient mice are strikingly similar to those obtained in beige mice subjected to the same model of anti-GBM nephritis (17). Beige mice, which lack cathepsin G and elastase in their azurophilic granules, exhibit PMN accumulation and glomerular endothelial denudation, as assessed by electron microscopy, but develop no proteinuria. Similarly, in Mac-1–deficient mice, release of azurophilic granules containing elastase and cathepsin G may not occur in the mutant PMNs and may account for the absence of proteinuria in these animals. We also demonstrate that complement C3– deficient mice have decreased proteinuria despite accumulating wild-type levels of glomerular PMNs. Importantly, PMN phagocytosis of complement C3b–opsonized zymosan leads to the release of elastase which is Mac-1–dependent (29), and we have previously shown that Mac-1–deficient PMNs are unable to phagocytose complement-opsonized particles (2). Therefore, the interaction of Mac-1 on PMNs with complement C3 is probably necessary for the release of azurophilic granules in our anti-GBM nephritis model and explains the lack of proteinuria in both Mac-1–deficient and complement C3–deficient mice. In addition, another group has shown that PMNs extravasated into the peritoneum of Mac-1–deficient mice after thioglycollate-induced peritonitis have increased β-glucuronidase content, suggesting a deficit in release of azurophilic granules by activated Mac-1–null PMNs (30). Although we propose that an interaction of Mac-1 with complement is responsible for proteinuria in this model, a separate role for C3 in generation of a membrane attack complex leading to proteinuria cannot be ruled out and was not explored further in this work.
These results suggest the following model for the role of Mac-1 in IC-triggered neutrophil accumulation in this form of acute nephritis (Fig. 7). The initial attachment of neutrophils to ICs in the glomerular capillary wall occurs via Fc interactions with Fc
R on the surface of neutrophils, and does not require Mac-1. Thus the early neutrophil accumulation is equal in both mutant and wild-type mice. However, Mac-1, through interactions with, or signals from, Fc
R, is required for the F-actin reorganization necessary for sustained neutrophil spreading on ICs as shown in our in vitro studies. The functional interaction may be required for elaboration of mediators that signal further neutrophil influx, accounting for the increase in neutrophil accumulation in wild-type mice at 2 h, which does not occur in mutant mice. We have not identified the specific chemoattractants that are effected by Mac-1 deficiency. Production of LTB4, a powerful neutrophil chemoattractant, is not affected by Mac-1 deficiency or PMN spreading. Interaction of Mac-1 on PMNs with complement iC3b deposited on the vessel wall leads to the release of azurophilic granules, leading to protease-induced damage to the GBM and proteinuria, which is abrogated by Mac-1 or C3 deficiency. The glomerular PMN accumulation in this model is transient. There is evidence to suggest that the PMNs detach from the vessel wall, return to the bloodstream (16), and are probably cleared in the liver or spleen.
