Microglia play an important role in receptor-mediated phagocytosis in the CNS. In brain abscess and other CNS infections, invading bacteria undergo opsonization with immunoglobulins (Ig) or complement. Microglia recognize these opsonized pathogens by Fc or complement receptors triggering phagocytosis. Here we investigated the role of Fcα/μ receptor (Fcα/μR), the less studied receptor for IgM and IgA, in microglial phagocytosis. We showed that primary microglia, as well as N9 microglial cells, express Fcα/μR. We also showed that anti-Staphylococcus aureus (SA) IgM markedly increased the rate of microglial SA phagocytosis. To unequivocally test the role of Fcα/μR in IgM-mediated phagocytosis we performed experiments in microglia from Fcα/μR-/- mice. Surprisingly, we found that IgM-dependent phagocytosis of SA was similar in microglia derived from wild-type (WT) or Fcα/μR-/- mice. We hypothesized that IgM-dependent activation of complement receptors might contribute to the IgM-mediated increase in phagocytosis. To test this we used immunologic and genetic inactivation of complement receptor 3 (CR3) components (CD11b and CD18) as well as complement factor-3 (C3). IgM-, but not IgG-, mediated phagocytosis of SA was reduced in WT microglia and macrophages following pre-incubation with an anti-CD11b blocking antibody. IgM-dependent phagocytosis of SA was also reduced in microglia derived from CD18-/- and C3-/- mice. Taken together, our findings implicate CR3 and C3, but not Fcα/μR, in IgM-mediated phagocytosis of SA by microglia.
