The urokinase receptor (uPAR) plays an important role in regulation of fibronolysis, cell migration, and adhesion. In this study, we examined whether uPAR plays a role in modulating efferocytosis of neutrophils. Macrophages from uPAR(-/-) mice demonstrated enhanced ability to engulf viable wild-type (WT) neutrophils in vitro and in vivo in the lungs. The increased phagocytic activity of uPAR(-/-) macrophages was abrogated by incubation with soluble uPAR (suPAR), arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD)-containing peptides, or anti-integrin antibodies. There was increased uptake of viable uPAR(-/-) neutrophils by WT macrophages. Incubation of uPAR(-/-) neutrophils with suPAR or anti-integrin antibodies diminished uptake by WT macrophages to baseline. Uptake of uPAR(-/-) neutrophils by uPAR(-/-) macrophages was not enhanced. However, incubation of uPAR(-/-) neutrophils or uPAR(-/-) macrophages, but not both, with suPAR enhanced the uptake of viable uPAR(-/-) neutrophils by uPAR(-/-) macrophages. The adhesion of WT neutrophils to uPAR(-/-) macrophages was higher than to WT macrophages. uPAR(-/-) neutrophils demonstrated increased adhesion to suPAR, which was abrogated by blocking of low-density lipoprotein related protein and integrins. Expression of uPAR on the surface of apoptotic neutrophils was reduced compared with levels on viable neutrophils. These results demonstrate a novel role for uPAR in modulating recognition and clearance of neutrophils. (Blood. 2009; 114: 860-870)
