Abstract

SUMMARY Autophagy and phagocytosis are conserved cellular functions involved in innate immunity. However, the nature of their interactions remains unclear. We evaluated the role of autophagy in regulating phagocytosis in macrophages from myeloid-specific autophagy-related gene 7-deficient (Atg7−/−) mice. Atg7−/− macrophages exhibited higher bacterial uptake when infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) or with M. tuberculosis var. bovis BCG (BCG). In addition, BCG-infected Atg7−/− mice showed increased bacterial loads and exacerbated lung inflammatory responses. Atg7−/− macrophages had increased expression of two class A scavenger receptors: macrophage receptor with collagenous structure (MARCO) and macrophage scavenger receptor 1 (MSR1). The increase in scavenger receptors was caused by increased activity of the nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (NFE2L2) transcription factor resulting from accumulated sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1 or p62) in Atg7−/− macrophages. These insights increase our understanding of the host-pathogen relationship and suggest that therapeutic strategies should be designed to include modulation of both phagocytosis and autophagy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
