ABSTRACT
Ficolins activate the lectin pathway of the complement system upon binding to carbohydrate patterns on pathogens. To characterize the producer cells of ficolin-B the expression of mouse ficolin-B, the orthologue of human M-ficolin, was studied in macrophages and dendritic cells during differentiation from bone marrow cells, in primary granulocytes, and during differentiation of granulocytes derived from ER-Hoxb8 cells. Expression of ficolin-B mRNA declined in all myeloid cell types to low levels during terminal differentiation. However, in contrast to macrophages and dendritic cells, ficolin-B expression was enhanced upon activation in granulocytes. High expression of ficolin-B was observed in primary immature neutrophilic CD11b(+) Ly-6C(int) Ly-6G(high) granulocytes when isolated from the bone marrow, in particular during sepsis. Ficolin-B was demonstrated in lysates of primary granulocytes, ER-Hoxb8-derived granulocytes, bone marrow-derived macrophages, and dendritic cells. Native ficolin-B from cell lysates and supernatants of granulocytes activated the lectin pathway as measured by binding to MASP-2 and inducing C4 deposition. Specific staining demonstrated intra-cellular or cell associated ficolin-B protein in activated immature granulocytes deposited in a granular fashion. This study shows that ficolin-B is stored in and set free from immature granulocytic myeloid cells indicating a role in the early infection-induced cellular response of these inflammatory cells.
