title: Interferon gamma induces in human neutrophils and macrophages expression of the mRNA for the high affinity receptor for monomeric IgG (Fc gamma R-I or CD64).
abstract: Immune interferon (IFN-gamma) induces in human neutrophils accumulation of the mRNA for the high affinity receptor for monomeric IgG (Fc gamma R-I, CD64) with a mechanism that is independent from de novo protein synthesis and from activation of the Na+/H+ antiporter. Monocyte-derived macrophages can also be induced to express high levels of Fc gamma R-I mRNA by IFN-gamma, without requirement of protein synthesis. Unlike what is observed in neutrophils, induction by IFN-gamma of macrophage Fc gamma R-I mRNA was significantly depressed by the Na+/H+ antiporter inhibitor amiloride. These results indicate that phagocytes' Fc gamma R-I mRNA induction by IFN-gamma is regulated by different mechanisms depending on the target cells.
