RAGE, the multiligand receptor of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface molecules, is implicated in innate and adaptive immunity. Complement component C1q serves roles in complement activation and antibody-independent opsonization. Using soluble forms of RAGE (sRAGE) and RAGE-expressing cells, we determined that RAGE is a native C1q globular domain receptor. Direct C1q-sRAGE interaction was demonstrated with surface plasmon resonance (SPR), with minimum K(d) 5.6 μM, and stronger binding affinity seen in ELISA-like experiments involving multivalent binding. Pull-down experiments suggested formation of a receptor complex of RAGE and Mac-1 to further enhance affinity for C1q. C1q induced U937 cell adhesion and phagocytosis was inhibited by antibodies to RAGE or Mac-1. These data link C1q and RAGE to the recruitment of leukocytes and phagocytosis of C1q-coated material.
RAGE 是免疫球蛋白超家族细胞表面分子的多配体受体,与先天和适应性免疫有关。补体成分 C1q 在补体激活和抗体非依赖性调理作用中发挥作用。使用 RAGE(sRAGE)的可溶性形式和表达 RAGE 的细胞,我们确定 RAGE 是天然的 C1q 球形结构域受体。表面等离子体共振(SPR)显示出直接的 C1q-sRAGE 相互作用,最低 K(d) 为 5.6 μM,在涉及多价结合的 ELISA 样实验中观察到更强的结合亲和力。下拉实验表明,RAGE 和 Mac-1 形成受体复合物,进一步增强了对 C1q 的亲和力。抗 RAGE 或 Mac-1 的抗体可抑制 C1q 诱导的 U937 细胞黏附和吞噬作用。这些数据将 C1q 和 RAGE 与白细胞募集和 C1q 包被物质的吞噬作用联系起来。
