The adherence of Bordetella pertussis to human respiratory cilia is critical to the pathogenesis of whooping cough but the significance of bacterial attachment to macrophages has not been determined. Adherence to cilia and macrophages is mediated by two large, nonfimbrial bacterial proteins, filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), and pertussis toxin (PT). PT and FHA both recognize carbohydrates on cilia and macrophages; FHA also contains an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) sequence which promotes bacterial association with the macrophage integrin complement receptor 3 (CR3). We determined that virulent B. pertussis enter and survive in mammalian macrophages in vitro and that CR3 is important for this uptake process. We then determined the relative contribution of CR3 versus carbohydrate-dependent interactions to in vivo pulmonary colonization using a rabbit model. B. pertussis colonized the lung as two approximately equal populations, one extracellular population attached to ciliary and macrophage surface glycoconjugates and another population within pulmonary macrophages. Loss of the CR3 interaction, either by mutation of FHA or treatment with antibody to CR3, disrupted accumulation of viable intracellular bacteria but did not prevent lung pathology. In contrast, elimination of carbohydrate-bound bacteria, either by a competitive receptor analogue or an anti-receptor antibody, was sufficient to prevent pulmonary edema. We propose that CR3-dependent localization of B. pertussis within macrophages promotes persistence of bacteria in the lung without pulmonary injury. On the other hand, the presence of extracellular bacteria adherent to cilia and macrophages in carbohydrate-dependent interactions is associated with pulmonary pathology.

We describe a patient with delayed umbilical cord detachment, recurrent bacterial infections, and inability to form pus, despite persistent leucocytosis. Immunofluorescence studies with specific monoclonal antibodies showed a severe deficiency in the expression of alpha-chains of the receptor for the C3bi fragment of C3, complement receptor type 3, and the lymphocyte function antigen 1 molecule, found on neutrophil, monocyte and lymphocyte membranes. These membrane antigen defects were responsible for abnormalities in adhesive cell functions. Polymorphonuclear leucocytes demonstrated a markedly reduced chemiluminescence response as well as an impaired nitroblue tetrazolium test and superoxide generation to a particulate stimulus (zymosan), while the responses to a soluble stimulus (phorbol myristate acetate) were normal. In addition, random migration und chemotactic response to zymosan-activated serum were impaired. The lymphocytes demonstrated abolished natural killer cell cytotoxicity as well as abnormal humoral immunity and a lack of antibody response to pertussis and tetanus antigens.

To better define the relationship between membrane depolarization and extracellular Ca2+ influx during neutrophil activation, we compared stimulation by elevating the extracellular K+ concentration, [K+]o, with stimulation by the chemoattractant N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP). Elevation of [K+]o resulted in uniform depolarization of the entire population of cells. This was associated with an influx of Ca2+ that was temporally delayed and quantitatively less than that induced by fMLP. K+ depolarization also caused increased expression of type 1 (C3b/C4b) complement receptor (CR1) and type 3 (C3bi) complement receptor (CR3), but the increments were less than with fMLP. We then used pertussis toxin to determine if guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins were involved in these responses. Toxin inhibited the fMLP-induced membrane depolarization as well as the uptake of extracellular Ca2+ and the expression of both CR1 and CR3 induced by the chemoattractant. This indicates that the fMLP receptor is not directly coupled to an ion channel. The membrane depolarization induced by elevating [K+]o was not inhibited by toxin, but the uptake of Ca2+ and the increased expression of CR1 and CR3 were all significantly inhibited. The toxin failed to block increased CR1 and CR3 expression induced by ionomycin, demonstrating that its effects were not attributable to general toxicity. The results suggest that voltage gating is not the major mechanism by which polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) increase their permeability to extracellular Ca2+. Initial signals, whether generated by chemoattractants binding to their receptors or by small initial influxes of extracellular Ca2+, must be amplified by pertussis toxin-sensitive steps to fully increase the Ca2+ permeability and optimally activate the cell.

Nonopsonized Bordetella pertussis bind to human monocytes by means of the virulence factors filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), pertactin, and the minor fimbrial subunit FimD. Receptors on monocytes that mediate binding of B. pertussis to these cells include complement receptor type 3 (CR3), which binds to FHA of B. pertussis, and very late antigen-5 (VLA-5), which binds to an, as yet, unknown ligand on these bacteria. In the present study, the possibility that FimD acts as a ligand for VLA-5 was investigated. Soluble fibronectin, which is the natural ligand for VLA-5, or mAbs against VLA-5 inhibited binding to monocytes of B. pertussis strains that express FimD but not of mutant strains that lack FimD. Beads that were coated with the fusion protein maltose-binding protein-FimD bound to adherent monocytes, and this binding was inhibited by soluble fibronectin or mAb against the alpha- or beta-chain of VLA-5, while soluble collagen or mAb against VLA-4, VLA-6, CR3, or HLA class II had no effect. Down-modulation of VLA-5 on the apical surface of monocytes by plating the cells onto surfaces precoated with anti-VLA-5 mAb also inhibited binding of beads coated with maltose-binding protein-FimD to monocytes, while precoating of the surfaces with mAb against VLA-6 or CR3 had no effect. These results indicate that VLA-5 on monocytes serves as a receptor for FimD on B. pertussis. Binding of C3bi-coated erythrocytes to monocytes, which is a measure of the binding activity of CR3, was enhanced when monocytes were adhered onto plates precoated with purified fimbriae of B. pertussis, while precoating with fimbriae lacking FimD had no effect. Precoating of the plates with FimD-containing fimbriae also enhanced binding of B. pertussis, which express FHA, but not of strains that lack FHA, to monocytes. The enhanced binding of C3bi-coated erythrocytes and B. pertussis to monocytes could be markedly inhibited by tyrphostin-47, a protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor. These results demonstrate that interaction of FimD of B. pertussis with VLA-5 on monocytes activates CR3, which requires protein tyrosine kinases and results in enhanced binding of B. pertussis to the latter receptor via FHA.

Two tyrosine kinase-dependent pathways exist for activation of the respiratory burst by polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) immunoglobulin G Fc receptors. Direct ligation of Fc gamma RII activates the respiratory burst, but ligation of the glycan phosphoinositol-linked Fc gamma RIIIB does not. Instead, this receptor and the integrin complement receptor CR3 synergize in activation of the respiratory burst (Zhou, M.-J., and Brown, E. J. (1994) J. Cell Biol. 125, 1407-1416). Here we show that direct ligation of Fc gamma RII leads to activation and Triton X-100 insolubility of the Src family kinase Fgr, without effect on the related myeloid Src family member Hck. In contrast, adhesion of PMN via Fc gamma RIIIB leads to activation and Triton X-100 insolubility of Hck but not Fgr. The exclusive association of Fc gamma RIIIB with Hck activation and Triton insolubility is not solely a result of its glycan phosphoinositol anchor, since decay accelerating factor (CD55), another prominent glycan phosphoinositol-anchored PMN protein, is associated with Fgr insolubility to a greater extent than Hck. Ligation of decay accelerating factor, with or without coligation of CR3, does not activate the PMN respiratory burst. Coligation of Fc gamma RIIIB with Fc gamma RII overcomes the pertussis toxin inhibition of H2O2 production in response to direct ligation of Fc gamma RII. These data support the hypothesis that activation of Hck upon Fc gamma RIIIB ligation has a role in generation of the synergistic respiratory burst.

Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough, adheres to human monocytes/macrophages by means of a bacterial surface-associated protein, filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA) and the leukocyte integrin, complement receptor 3 (CR3, alpha M beta 2, CD11b/CD18). We show that an FHA Arg-Gly-Asp site induces enhanced B. pertussis binding to monocytes, and that this enhancement is blocked by antibodies directed against CR3. Enhancement requires a monocyte signal transduction complex, composed of leukocyte response integrin (alpha? beta 3) and integrin-associated protein (CD47). This complex is known to upregulate CR3 binding activity. Thus, a bacterial pathogen enhances its own attachment to host cells by coopting a host cell signaling pathway.

Complement receptor type 3 (CR3)-mediated cellular responses in guinea pig macrophages were investigated by using zymosan and serum-opsonized zymosan (SOZ) as the multivalent ligand for CR3. The ingestion of zymosan and SOZ was accompanied by O2- generation and arachidonate release. These responses were suppressed by prior exposure of macrophages to pertussis toxin (PT). Opsonization of zymosan gave rise to more than 6-fold activation of the ingestion, whereas the magnitude of either arachidonate release or O2- generation was unchanged. The Fab' fragment of anti-Z-1, a monoclonal antibody specific for the alpha chain of guinea pig CR3, inhibited the ingestion of zymosan by 60% without affecting zymosan-induced arachidonate release and O2- generation. These data suggested that there might be at least two functionally distinct binding sites for zymosan. O2- generation and arachidonate release might be regulated through one site and phagocytosis another. Both sites should be coupled to PT-sensitive GTP binding protein.

Nonopsonized Bordetella pertussis, the causative agent of whooping cough, can attach to and become ingested by human monocytes. It has been reported that complement receptor type 3 (CR3) on human monocyte-derived macrophages binds filamentous hemagglutinin expressed on B. pertussis. In the present study, the role of very late antigen-5 (VLA-5) in the attachment of B. pertussis to adherent human monocytes was investigated. It was found that soluble fibronectin and soluble mAb against VLA-5 markedly inhibited the attachment of B. pertussis to monocytes. When VLA-5 on monocytes was cross-linked by plating these cells onto surfaces precoated with fibronectin or mAb against VLA-5, the binding of both B. pertussis and C3bi-coated sheep erythrocytes to these cells was significantly enhanced, whereas the binding of a B. pertussis mutant strain deficient in filamentous hemagglutinin was not affected. The enhanced attachment of B. pertussis to monocytes plated onto fibronectin-coated surfaces was markedly inhibited by soluble mAb against CR3. Neutrophils, which express similar levels of CR3 and about 10-fold lower levels of VLA-5 as compared with monocytes, did not bind B. pertussis. Together, these results indicate that VLA-5 is involved in the attachment of B. pertussis to monocytes and that cross-linking of VLA-5 enhances the attachment of B. pertussis to monocytes by augmenting the binding activity of CR3. We propose that the attachment of B. pertussis to monocytes occurs in two steps: binding and cross-linking of VLA-5 by B. pertussis enhances the binding activity of CR3, which in turn facilitates the subsequent binding of these bacteria to the latter receptor.

Bordetella pertussis interacts with very-late antigen-5 (VLA-5) receptors on the human monocyte resulting in cross-linking of these receptors followed by activation of complement receptor 3 (CR3) and firm adhesion of B. pertussis to these monocytes. In the present study we investigated whether protein tyrosine kinases are involved in the activation of CR3 on monocytes, which was assessed by the binding of C3bi-coated erythrocytes (EC3bi). Pre-incubation of monocytes with tyrphostin-A47, a specific protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor, before adherence of the cells to an anti-VLA-5 monoclonal antibody-coated surface, or addition of tyrphostin-A47 within 10 min of the adherence to such surface, reduced the binding of EC3bi to monocytes significantly. Pre-incubation of monocytes with tyrphostin-A47 reduced the binding of B. pertussis to such monocytes as well. Inhibitors of protein kinase A and/or C had no effect on EC3bi binding to monocytes. Cross-linking of VLA-5 on monocytes resulted in tyrosine phosphorylation of several proteins. Together, these results indicate that protein tyrosine kinases are involved in the VLA-5-induced activation of CR3 on human monocytes.

We previously found a novel glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored glycoprotein designated GPI-80 that modulates complement receptor 3 integrin-dependent adhesion and in vitro transendothelial migration of neutrophils. In this study, we show that antibody-mediated cross-linking of GPI-80 led to rapid tyrosine phosphorylation mainly of a 34-kDa protein (pp34). Chemical inhibitors, such as genistein, sodium orthovanadate, wortmannin, cytochalasin B, Ro 31-8220, and 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N',-tetraacetic acid inhibited this response, whereas pertussis toxin had no effect. These findings demonstrate that the tyrosine phosphorylation of pp34 by cross-linking GPI-80 in human neutrophils involves tyrosine kinases, tyrosine phosphatases, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, cytoskeleton reorganization, protein kinase C, and cytoplasmic calcium, but not heterotrimeric G proteins.
