Abstract :
[en] The adhesion of normal rat peritoneal macrophages to normal rat glomerular epithelial or mesangial cells has been studied in vitro after a 60 min incubation at 37 degree C. After washing, the cell preparations were examined by phase contrast or scanning electron microscopy. Quantitative studies were also performed using macrophages labelled with 99mTc tin colloids. Peritoneal macrophages predominantly adhered to the cultured mesangial cells. The percent-age of labelled macrophages adhering to these cells was about 10 times higher than that of labelled macrophages adhering to the cultured epithelial cells. This percentage increased proportionally to the number of labelled macrophages added, and was strongly reduced by the prior incubation of macrophagic cells with aggregated IgG, with anti-fibronectin IgG, or with F(ab')2 fragments of anti-fibronectin IgG. Furthermore, the macrophage-mesangial cell interaction was significantly reduced by the prior incubation of mesangial cells with anti-fibronectin IgG or with F(ab')2 fragments of anti-fibronectin IgG. The data demonstrate that normal rat peritoneal macrophages preferentially adhere in vitro to normal rat glomerular mesangial cells, and that this binding may be modulated, at least, by: (a) the Fc receptor binding activity of macrophages; (b) the fibronectin molecules available at the surface of macrophages and of mesangial cells.
