CD38 signaling, either induced by ligation with specific agonistic monoclonal antibody (mAb) or after interaction with CD31, its cognate counter-receptor, is involved in release of IL-1beta, IL-6, and IL-10 cytokines in resting human monocytes. CD38 ligation by the F(ab')(2) IB4 mAb did not induce signals relevant for cytokine secretion and the block of the Fcgamma receptor I (FcgammaRI) by anti-CD64 or FcgammaRII by anti-CD32 mAb did not inhibit CD38-mediated IL-1beta release. Dimerization or multimerization of the CD38 molecule by: (i) cross-linking of the receptor ligated by F(ab')(2) or by (ii) increasing CD38 expression by treating monocytes with IFNgamma were able to restore the truncated CD38-mediated signals involved in cytokine secretion. These data indicate that CD38 receptor-mediated signals operate directly suggesting a Fcgamma receptorial surface molecule independent activation pathway. The key element for the receptor mediated signaling is represented by surface density of CD38 on resting monocytes. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
