title: Oxidant-mediated inhibition of ligand uptake by the macrophage mannose receptor.
abstract: We have investigated the effect of oxidants on ligand recognition and internalization by the macrophage mannose receptor. Rat bone marrow macrophages were treated with increasing concentrations of H2O2 for 30 min at 37 degrees C. Fifty percent inhibition of ligand uptake was observed at 250 microM, with only 10% of control uptake remaining following exposure to 1 mM H2O2 for 30 min. Electron micrographic analysis of macrophages following H2O2 treatment showed no morphological alterations compared to untreated cells. Ligand uptake was also inhibited by the following H2O2 generating systems: menadione, xanthine/xanthine oxidase, glucose/glucose oxidase, and phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate-stimulated polymorphonuclear leukocytes. Inhibition could be blocked by catalase plus or minus superoxide dismutase. Treatment of macrophages at 4 degrees C with H2O2 had no effect on ligand binding, whereas treatment with H2O2 at 37 degrees C reduced binding to 15% of control levels and decreased the number of surface receptors to one-third of control cells. H2O2 treatment inhibited ligand degradation by macrophages, but did not prevent ligand movement from the surface to the interior of the cell. In addition, ligand delivery to lysosomes was blocked by oxidant treatment. These results suggest that treatment of macrophages with reagent H2O2 or H2O2-generating systems inhibits the normal ligand delivery and receptor recycling process involving the mannose receptor. Potential mechanisms might include receptor oxidation, alterations in ATP levels, or membrane lipid peroxidation.
