Surfactant protein A (SP-A), a major component of lung surfactant, binds to macrophages and has been shown to alter several macrophage biological functions, including up-regulation of macrophage mannose receptor (MR) activity. In the present study, we show that SP-A induces signal transduction pathway(s) that impact on MR expression. The addition of human, rat, or recombinant rat SP-A to human monocyte-derived macrophages significantly raised the level of cytosolic Ca2+ above baseline within 10 s of SP-A addition, as measured by spectrofluorometric analysis. SP-A induced a refractory state specific for SP-A consistent with homologous desensitization of a receptor(s) linked to calcium mobilization because a second application of SP-A did not induce a rise in cytosolic Ca2+ whereas the addition of platelet-activating factor did. Using site-directed mutations in SP-A, we determined that both the attached sugars and the collagen-like domain of SP-A are necessary to optimize Ca2+ mobilization. SP-A triggered the increase in cytosolic Ca2+ by inducing activation of phospholipase C, which leads to the hydrolysis of membrane phospholipids, yielding inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate and mobilizing intracellularly stored Ca2+ by inositol triphosphate-sensitive channels. Finally, inhibition of PI3Ks, which appear to act upstream of phospholipase C in Ca2+ mobilization, decreased the SP-A-induced rise in MR expression, providing evidence that SP-A induction of MR activity involves the activation of a pathway in which PI3K is a component. These studies provide further evidence that SP-A produced in the lung plays a role in modulating macrophage biology, thereby contributing to the alternative activation state of the alveolar macrophage.
