Previous reports have shown the presence of C1Q-R on monocytes, macrophages, polymorphonuclear cells, fibroblasts, platelets, lymphocytes, and endothelial cells. The present study demonstrates a functional C1Q-R on rat renal mesangial cells (MC). Incubation of MC with increasing concentrations of [125I]C1Q resulted in a dose-dependent binding of [125I]C1Q to MC; the binding of [125I]C1Q was inhibitable by excess unlabeled C1Q or C1Q stalks whereas BSA and C1Q globular heads had no effect. Scatchard analysis of the data revealed the presence of 6.2 x 10(7) binding sites/cell with an affinity of 4.9 x 10(6) M-1 for C1Q. Immunoprecipitation of 125I-labeled MC membrane proteins with C1Q or mAb directed against human C1Q-R revealed a single 66- to 68-kDa band under reducing conditions. We have shown previously that soluble stable aggregates of IgG bind to rat MC in a dose-dependent fashion. In addition the presence of a receptor for IgG has been described on rat MC. In order to find out whether there is a cooperative effect between C1Q and AlgG in binding of [125I]AlgG to MC, we incubated [125I]AlgG in the presence of increasing concentrations of C1Q, and showed a 5- to 15-fold enhancement of binding of [125I]AlgG to MC. Neither heat-inactivated C1Q nor C1Q stalks were able to enhance the binding of [125I]AlgG to MC. Enhanced binding by C1Q was only observed when aggregated IgG was used; the binding of monomeric IgG to MC was not affected by C1Q. These studies indicate that there is a cooperative effect between Fc gamma R and C1Q-R on MC in the recognition of immune complexes.
