PG - 415-24 LID - 10.1111/j.1365-2249.2010.04255.x [doi] AB - Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) has been used widely to treat immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), but the mechanisms of its action remain unclear. We investigated the affinity for Fcgamma receptors (FcgammaRs) and the thrombocytopenia-ameliorating effect of S-sulfonated gammaglobulin (SGG) and S-alkylated gammaglobulin (AGG), in comparison with unmodified gammaglobulin (GG), in a mouse ITP model. Cleavage of immunoglobulin (Ig)G interchain disulfide bonds by either S-sulfonation or S-alkylation did not decrease the affinity for FcgammaRIIA (CD32A) and FcgammaRIIB (CD32B), but did decrease the affinity for FcgammaRIA (CD64A) and FcgammaRIIIA (CD16A), presumably because of changes in H-chain configuration. The interchain disulfide bond cleavage decreased the affinity much more for mouse FcgammaRIV than for mouse FcgammaRIIB. The ability of AGG to ameliorate ITP was greatly diminished, while SGG, whose disulfide bonds are reconstituted in vivo, was as effective as GG. These results suggest that the interchain disulfide bonds are important for therapeutic effect. It is also suggested that the interaction of IVIG with the inhibitory receptor FcgammaRIIB is insufficient for effective amelioration of ITP and that, at least in this model, direct binding of IVIG to FcgammaRIIIA is also required.
