Role of Surfactant Proteins A, D, and C1q in the Clearance of Apoptotic Cells In Vivo and In Vitro: Calreticulin and CD91 as a Common Collectin Receptor Complex
Abstract
Removal of cells dying by apoptosis is essential to normal development, maintenance of tissue homeostasis, and resolution of inflammation. Surfactant protein A (SP-A) and surfactant protein D (SP-D) are high abundance pulmonary collectins recently implicated in apoptotic cell clearance in vitro. Other collectins, such as mannose-binding lectin and the collectin-like C1q, have been shown to bind to apoptotic cells and drive ingestion through interaction with calreticulin and CD91 on the phagocyte in vitro. However, only C1q has been shown to enhance apoptotic cell uptake in vivo. We sought to determine the relative importance of SP-A, SP-D, and C1q in pulmonary clearance of apoptotic cells using knockout and overexpressing mice, and to determine the role of calreticulin and CD91 in this process. SP-A, SP-D, and C1q all enhanced apoptotic cell ingestion by resident murine and human alveolar macrophages in vitro. However, only SP-D altered apoptotic cell clearance from the naive murine lung, suggesting that SP-D plays a particularly important role in vivo. Similar to C1q and mannose-binding lectin, SP-A and SP-D bound to apoptotic cells in a localized, patchy pattern and drove apoptotic cell ingestion by phagocytes through a mechanism dependent on calreticulin and CD91. These results suggest that the entire collectin family of innate immune proteins (including C1q) works through a common receptor complex to enhance removal of apoptotic cells, and that collectins are integral, organ-specific components of the clearance machinery.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
