Dying cells, apoptotic or necrotic, are swiftly eliminated by
professional phagocytes. We previously reported that CD47 engagement by
CD47 mAb or thrombospondin induced caspase-independent cell death of
chronic lymphocytic leukemic B cells (B-CLL). Here we show that human
immature dendritic cells (iDCs) phagocytosed the CD47 mAb-killed
leukemic cells in the absence of caspases 3, 7, 8, and 9 activation in
the malignant lymphocytes. Yet the dead cells displayed the cytoplasmic
features of apoptosis, including cell shrinkage, phosphatidylserine
exposure, and decreased mitochondrial transmembrane potential
( m). CD47 mAb-induced cell death also occurred in normal resting
and activated lymphocytes, with B-CLL cells demonstrating the highest
susceptibility. Importantly, iDCs and CD34+ progenitors
were resistant. Structure-function studies in cell lines transfected
with various CD47 chimeras demonstrated that killing exclusively
required the extracellular and transmembrane domains of the CD47
molecule. Cytochalasin D, an inhibitor of actin polymerization, and
antimycin A, an inhibitor of mitochondrial electron transfer,
completely suppressed CD47-induced phosphatidylserine exposure.
Interestingly, CD47 ligation failed to induce cell death in mononuclear
cells isolated from Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) patients, suggesting
the involvement of Cdc42/WAS protein (WASP) signaling pathway. We
propose that CD47-induced caspase-independent cell death be mediated by
cytoskeleton reorganization. This form of cell death may be relevant to
maintenance of homeostasis and as such might be explored for the
development of future therapeutic approaches in lymphoid malignancies.
