The Class A Scavenger Receptor, Macrophage Receptor with Collagenous Structure, Is the Major Phagocytic Receptor for Clostridium sordellii Expressed by Human Decidual Macrophages

Abstract: Clostridium sordellii is an emerging pathogen associated with highly lethal female reproductive tract infections following childbirth, abortion, or cervical instrumentation. Gaps in our understanding of the pathogenesis of C. sordellii infections present major challenges to the development of better preventive and therapeutic strategies against this problem. We sought to determine the mechanisms whereby uterine decidual macrophages phagocytose this bacterium and tested the hypothesis that human decidual macrop… Show more

“…These ligands have been previously shown to block the binding of C. sordellii to the class A SR MARCO (SR-A6) and binding of acetylated low-density lipoprotein to murine SR-AI. 35,53 These polyanionic compounds may also interfere with binding of CD163 to its ligands, but so far, this has not been investigated. Alternatively, polyanions may bind to positively charged residues present in exosites on ADAMTS13 that mediate its binding to CD163, as has been shown for fucoidan (supplemental Figure 4).…”

“…To further evaluate whether SRs might be involved in uptake of ADAMTS13, macrophages were preincubated with fucoidan and poly-I, which have previously been shown to block the binding of Clostridium sordellii to the class A receptor macrophage receptor with collagenous structure (MARCO). [34][35][36][37] Poly-C was used as a control for these experiments. Macrophages were preincubated with fucoidan, poly-I, and poly-C for 20 minutes at 37°C before the addition of ADAMTS13-AF488.…”

“…Given that phagocytosis is a critical innate mechanism that macrophages employ to eliminate invading spirochetes (28), we focused on the role of OspC in macrophage phagocytosis using a fluorometry-based method which allows quantification of fluorescence of internalized microorganisms in macrophages (48,65,66). We found that the ospC mutant had approximately 75% higher phagocytosis by murine PMs than the wild-type and the ospC-complemented strains (Fig.…”

“…To investigate the role of PpiA in phagocytosis of S. mutans by macrophages, we focused on class A SRs, SR-A and MARCO, which are suggested to function as phagocytic receptors for a variety of Gram-positive and -negative bacteria (7,26,34,48). After 45 min of stimulation with the wild-type 109c strain or the ppiA mutant of S. mutans, RNA from human macrophages was prepared, and mRNA levels of MARCO and SR-A were measured by quantitative RT-PCR (Fig.…”

“…Of these SRs, the class A receptors, including scavenger receptor A (SR-A) and macrophage receptor with collagenous structure (MARCO), have been well characterized. These SR molecules are primarily expressed on macrophages, where they act as phagocytic receptors that mediate phagocytosis of pathogenic bacteria (27), such as S. pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Neisseria meningitidis, Clostridium sordellii, and Escherichia coli (7,26,34,48,54). Although it has been reported that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and lipoteichoic acid (LTA) on the bacterial surface are ligands of the SRs (4,25), recent research suggests that bacterial surface proteins are major ligands for many SRs (5,18,33,37) and play a more important role as target molecules for SRs than do LPS and LTA.…”
