Abstract:
Apoptotic cells expose phosphatidylserine and are swiftly engulfedby macrophages. Milk fat globule epidermal growth factor (EGF)factor 8 (MFG-E8) is a protein that binds to apoptotic cellsby recognizing phosphatidylserine and that enhances the engulfmentof apoptotic cells by macrophages. We report that tingible bodymacrophages in the germinal centers of the spleen and lymphnodes strongly express MFG-E8. Many apoptotic lymphocytes werefound on the MFG-E8–/– tingible body macrophages,but they were not efficiently engulfed. The MFG-E8–/–mice developed splenomegaly, with the formation of numerousgerminal centers, and suffered from glomerulonephritis as aresult of autoantibody production. These data demonstrate thatMFG-E8 has a critical role in removing apoptotic B cells inthe germinal centers and that its failure can lead to autoimmunediseases.
