Although it has recently become clear that IgA also mediates other immunological processes, little remains known about the potential of IgA to actively contribute to induction of inflammation, particularly in nonmucosal organs and tissues. In this article, we provide evidence that immune complex formation of serum IgA plays an important role in orchestration of inflammation in response to pathogens at various nonmucosal sites by eliciting proinflammatory cytokines by human macrophages, monocytes, and Kupffer cells. We show that opsonization of bacteria with serum IgA induced cross-talk between Fc\u03b1RI and different TLRs, leading to cell type\u2013specific amplification of proinflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-\u03b1, IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, and IL-23. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the increased protein production of cytokines was regulated at the level of gene transcription, which was dependent on activation of kinases Syk and PI3K. Taken together, these data demonstrate that the immunological function of IgA is substantially more extensive than previously considered and suggest that serum IgA\u2013induced inflammation plays an important role in orchestrating host defense by different cell types in nonmucosal tissues, including the liver, skin, and peripheral blood.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4049\/jimmunol.1700883","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,8]],"date-time":"2017-11-08T15:35:32Z","timestamp":1510155332000},"page":"4124-4131","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":68,"title":["Serum IgA Immune Complexes Promote Proinflammatory Cytokine Production by Human Macrophages, Monocytes, and Kupffer Cells through Fc\u03b1RI\u2013TLR Cross-Talk"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"199","author":[{"given":"Ivo S","family":"Hansen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Amsterdam Rheumatology and Immunology Center, Department of Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam , 1105AZ Amsterdam,","place":["the Netherlands"]},{"name":"Department of Experimental Immunology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam , 1105AZ Amsterdam,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Willianne","family":"Hoepel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amsterdam Rheumatology and Immunology Center, Department of Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam , 1105AZ Amsterdam,","place":["the Netherlands"]},{"name":"Department of Experimental Immunology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam , 1105AZ Amsterdam,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9589-186X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sebastiaan A J","family":"Zaat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Microbiology, Amsterdam Infection and Immunity Institute, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam , 1105AZ Amsterdam,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dominique L P","family":"Baeten","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amsterdam Rheumatology and Immunology Center, Department of Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam , 1105AZ Amsterdam,","place":["the Netherlands"]},{"name":"Department of Experimental Immunology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam , 1105AZ Amsterdam,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeroen","family":"den Dunnen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Amsterdam Rheumatology and Immunology Center, Department of Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam , 1105AZ Amsterdam,","place":["the Netherlands"]},{"name":"Department of Experimental Immunology, Academic Medical Center, University of Amsterdam , 1105AZ Amsterdam,","place":["the Netherlands"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025030614551250100_r1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"160","DOI":"10.1016\/j.it.2012.02.002","article-title":"Homeland security: IgA immunity at the frontiers of the body","volume":"33","author":"Macpherson","year":"2012","journal-title":"Trends Immunol."},{"key":"2025030614551250100_r2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"270","DOI":"10.1002\/path.1877","article-title":"The function of immunoglobulin A in immunity","volume":"208","author":"Woof","year":"2006","journal-title":"J.
