The objectives were to determine whether there are differences in the mechanisms of lipoprotein metabolism associated with different FcgammaRs and how metabolism associated with FcgammaRs compares to that mediated by scavenger receptors (SRA). To analyze lipoprotein metabolism in a receptor-specific manner, bispecific antibodies were used to target low density lipoproteins (LDL) labeled with (125)I or [(3)H]cholesterol linoleate to FcgammaRI or FcgammaRIIA in human macrophages. Interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma), which stimulates expression of FcgammaRI while inhibiting expression of SRA, was used to help delineate differences in metabolism between each receptor. For each receptor, the total amount of lipoprotein degradation paralleled changes in receptor expression induced by IFN-gamma. In particular, while SRA-mediated degradation typically exceeded degradation mediated by FcgammaRI, in IFN-gamma-treated cells degradation associated with FcgammaRI and SRA was similar. Assay of [(3)H]cholesterol linoleate-labeled lipoproteins indicated that total uptake and hydrolysis of [(3)H]cholesterol linoleate was similar for each class of receptor, and inhibited by IFN-gamma. For FcgammaRI versus FcgammaRIIA, in the presence or absence of IFN-gamma, the [(3)H]cholesterol derived from FcgammaRIIA-mediated uptake was preferentially targeted for re-esterification to [(3)H]cholesterol oleate, in comparison to that resulting from hydrolysis of [(3)H]cholesterol linoleate incorporated by selective uptake. For SRA, the formation of [(3)H]cholesterol oleate, which was substantial in control cells, was significantly inhibited in the presence of IFN-gamma. We conclude that there may be differences in cholesterol trafficking with respect to lipoprotein immune complex metabolism mediated by different classes of FcgammaRs.
