Association of IgG1 Antibody Clearance with FcγRIIA Polymorphism and Platelet Count in Infliximab-Treated Patients.

ABSTRACT: The FcγRIIA/CD32A is mainly expressed on platelets, myeloid and several endothelial cells. Its affinity is considered insufficient for allowing significant binding of monomeric IgG, while its H131R polymorphism (histidine > arginine at position 131) influences affinity for multimeric IgG2. Platelet FcγRIIA has been reported to contribute to IgG-containing immune-complexe clearance. Given our finding that platelet FcγRIIA actually binds monomeric IgG, we investigated the role of platelets and FcγRIIA in IgG antibody elimination. We used pharmacokinetics analysis of infliximab (IgG1) in individuals with controlled Crohn's disease. The influence of platelet count and FcγRIIA polymorphism was quantified by multivariate linear modelling. The infliximab half-life increased with R allele number (13.2, 14.4 and 15.6 days for HH, HR and RR patients, respectively). It decreased with increasing platelet count in R carriers: from ≈20 days (RR) and ≈17 days (HR) at 150 × 109/L, respectively, to ≈13 days (both HR and RR) at 350 × 109/L. Moreover, a flow cytometry assay showed that infliximab and monomeric IgG1 bound efficiently to platelet FcγRIIA H and R allotypes, whereas panitumumab and IgG2 bound poorly to the latter. We propose that infliximab (and presumably any IgG1 antibody) elimination is partly due to an unappreciated mechanism dependent on binding to platelet FcγRIIA, which is probably tuned by its affinity for IgG2.

Project description:Essentials Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients are at increased risk for premature CVD. Platelet activity, vascular dysfunction and carotid artery plaque are associated with FcγRIIA genotype in SLE. FcγRIIA genotype was not associated with platelet activity or carotid plaque in healthy controls. FcγRIIA represents a link that connects platelet activity, vascular health and CVD in SLE. SUMMARY: Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease associated with an elevated risk of premature cardiovascular disease. Platelets express receptors contributing to inflammation and immunity, including FcγRIIA, the low affinity receptor of the Fc portion of IgG antibodies. The variation at a single amino acid substitution, H131R, in the extracellular binding domain alters the affinity for IgG, which may account for individual variation in platelet activity and platelet-mediated disease. Objectives This study was performed to investigate the association between FcγRIIA genotype, preclinical atherosclerosis, platelet reactivity and vascular health. Methods FcγRIIA was genotyped in 80 SLE patients and 30 healthy controls. Carotid ultrasound plaque, soluble E-selectin and platelet aggregability were evaluated in SLE and matched controls. Results Carotid plaque was significantly more prevalent in SLE patients carrying a variant allele compared to those with a homozygous ancestral allele (58% vs. 25%, P = 0.04). In contrast, prevalent carotid plaque was not associated with genotype in controls. Consistently, SLE variant FcγRIIA carriers vs. ancestral allele carriers had a significant increase in the levels of soluble E-selectin, which was not observed in controls. Monocyte and leukocyte-platelet aggregation and platelet aggregation in response to submaximal agonist stimulation were significantly elevated in SLE patients with the variant vs. ancestral genotype. Conclusions Carotid ultrasound plaque, soluble E-selectin levels and platelet activity were more frequently prevalent in SLE patients carrying variant FcγRIIA. The interplay between FcγRIIA-mediated platelet activation and endothelial cells might represent a mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease in SLE patients.
