Phagosome maturation is a highly organized and sequential process that results in the formation of a microbicidal phagolysosome. This results in crucial contributions to innate and adaptive immunity through pathogen clearance and antigen presentation. Thus, it is important to understand the regulatory networks that control the extent and nature of phagosome maturation. PI3Ks are lipid kinases that catalyze the phosphorylation of the 3' position of the inositol ring. This enzyme family is divided into three classes based on structure and substrate preferences. Previously, only the class III PI3K, hVps34, was thought to contribute to phagosome maturation. Recent evidence, however, suggests important contributions by class I PI3Ks in bringing about the diverse phagosome maturation phenotypes. Class I PI3Ks have also been implicated in the activation of Rab GTPases that function in maturation, such as Rab14. In addition, recent studies have illuminated the overlap between phagosome maturation and autophagy, which itself is regulated by multiple classes of PI3K. Taken together, a picture of phagosome maturation is emerging in which multiple classes of PI3Ks are involved in modulating maturation phenotypes. This review summarizes the known contributions of PI3Ks to phagosome maturation. Special emphasis is placed on the impact of PI3Ks on different maturation outcomes stemming from the engagement of diverse phagocytic receptors and on Rab and Ca(2+) signaling cascades. 相似文献

The ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to grow in macrophages is critical to the virulence of this important pathogen. One way M. tuberculosis is thought to maintain a hospitable niche in macrophages is by arresting the normal process of phagosomes maturing into acidified phagolysosomes. The process of phagosome maturation arrest by M. tuberculosis is not fully understood, and there has remained a need to firmly establish a requirement for phagosome maturation arrest for M. tuberculosis growth in macrophages. Other intracellular pathogens that control the phagosomal environment use specialized protein export systems to deliver effectors of phagosome trafficking to the host cell. In M. tuberculosis, the accessory SecA2 system is a specialized protein export system that is required for intracellular growth in macrophages. In studying the importance of the SecA2 system in macrophages, we discovered that SecA2 is required for phagosome maturation arrest. Shortly after infection, phagosomes containing a ΔsecA2 mutant of M. tuberculosis were more acidified and showed greater association with markers of late endosomes than phagosomes containing wild-type M. tuberculosis. We further showed that inhibitors of phagosome acidification rescued the intracellular growth defect of the ΔsecA2 mutant, which demonstrated that the phagosome maturation arrest defect of the ΔsecA2 mutant is responsible for the intracellular growth defect. This study demonstrates the importance of phagosome maturation arrest for M. tuberculosis growth in macrophages, and it suggests there are effectors of phagosome maturation that are exported into the host environment by the accessory SecA2 system. 相似文献

Phagosome maturation proceeds independently of stimulation of toll-like receptors 2 and 4 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Toll-like receptors modulate many aspects of the innate immune response. Recent reports suggest that the maturation of phagosomes following particle uptake is modulated through signaling of Toll-like receptors. In the current study, the kinetics of phagosome maturation was evaluated quantitatively by ratio fluorometry to determine the lumenal pH of the phagosomes and a FRET-based technique to determine the degree of phagosome/lysosome fusion. Profiles generated for phagosomes containing experimental particles with or without the TLR ligands Pam3Cys-Ser-(Lys)4 or LPS failed to reveal a difference in maturation despite activating TLR-signaling pathways. Moreover, while macrophages defective in individual TLRs generated phagosome maturation profiles identical to wild-type macrophages, MyD88-deficient macrophages exhibited a marked depression in phagosome/lysosome fusion that appears independent of short-term TLR-mediated effects. The results demonstrate that the rate of maturation of phagosomes proceeds independently of TLR signaling pathways. 相似文献

Virulent mycobacteria cause arrest of phagosome maturation as a part of their survival strategy in hosts. This process is mediated through multiple virulence factors, whose molecular nature remains elusive. Using Mycobacterium marinum as a model, we performed a genome-wide screen to identify mutants whose ability to inhibit phagosome maturation was impaired, and we succeeded in isolating a comprehensive set of mutants that were not able to occupy an early endosome-like phagosomal compartment in mammalian macrophages. Categorizing and ordering the multiple mutations according to their gene families demonstrated that the genes modulating the cell envelope are the principal factors in arresting phagosome maturation. In particular, we identified a novel gene, pmiA, which is capable of influencing the constitution of the cell envelope lipids, thereby leading to the phagosome maturation block. The pmiA mutant was not able to resist phagosome maturation and was severely attenuated in mice. Complementing the mutant with the wild-type gene restored the attenuated virulence to wild-type levels in mice. 相似文献

Avoidance of innate immune defense is an important mechanism contributing to the pathogenicity of microorganisms. The fungal pathogen Candida albicans undergoes morphogenetic switching from the yeast to the filamentous hyphal form following phagocytosis by macrophages, facilitating its escape from the phagosome, which can result in host cell lysis. We show that the intracellular host trafficking GTPase Rab14 plays an important role in protecting macrophages from lysis mediated by C. albicans hyphae. Live-cell imaging of macrophages expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged Rab14 or dominant negative Rab14, or with small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated knockdown of Rab14, revealed the temporal dynamics of this protein and its influence on the maturation of macrophage phagosomes following the engulfment of C. albicans cells. Phagosomes containing live C. albicans cells became transiently Rab14 positive within 2 min following engulfment. The duration of Rab14 retention on phagosomes was prolonged for hyphal cargo and was directly proportional to hyphal length. Interference with endogenous Rab14 did not affect the migration of macrophages toward C. albicans cells, the rate of engulfment, the overall uptake of fungal cells, or early phagosome processing. However, Rab14 depletion delayed the acquisition of the late phagosome maturation markers LAMP1 and lysosomal cathepsin, indicating delayed formation of a fully bioactive lysosome. This was associated with a significant increase in the level of macrophage killing by C. albicans. Therefore, Rab14 activity promotes phagosome maturation during C. albicans infection but is dysregulated on the phagosome in the presence of the invasive hyphal form, which favors fungal survival and escape. 相似文献

After phagocytosis, the intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis arrests the progression of the nascent phagosome into a phagolysosome, allowing for replication in a compartment that resembles early endosomes. To better understand the molecular mechanisms that govern phagosome maturation arrest, we performed a visual screen on a set of M. tuberculosis mutants specifically attenuated for growth in mice to identify strains that failed to arrest phagosome maturation and trafficked to late phagosomal compartments. We identified 10 such mutants that could be partitioned into two classes based on the kinetics of trafficking. Importantly, four of these mutants harbor mutations in genes that encode components of the ESX-1 secretion system, a pathway critical for M. tuberculosis virulence. Although ESX-1 is required, the known ESX-1 secreted proteins are dispensable for phagosome maturation arrest, suggesting that a novel effector required for phagosome maturation arrest is secreted by ESX-1. Other mutants identified in this screen had mutations in genes involved in lipid synthesis and secretion and in molybdopterin biosynthesis, as well as in genes with unknown functions. Most of these trafficking mutants exhibited a corresponding growth defect during macrophage infection, but two mutants grew like wild-type M. tuberculosis during macrophage infection. Our results support the emerging consensus that multiple factors from M. tuberculosis, including the ESX-1 secretion system, are involved in modulating trafficking within the host. 相似文献

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) trigger inflammatory signaling in macrophages and enrich on phagosomes, suggesting that TLRs may directly influence phagosome formation and maturation. However, in this issue of Immunity, Yates and Russell use carefully defined particles and quantitative methodology to measure phagosome maturation and find no effect of TLR signaling on the process. 相似文献

The protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica ingests and feeds on microorganisms and mammalian cells. Phagocytosis is essential for cell growth and implicated in pathogenesis of E. histolytica. We report here the dynamic changes of phagosome proteins during phagosome maturation by proteomic analysis using reversed-phase capillary liquid chromatography and ion trap tandem mass spectrometry. Phagosomes were isolated at various intervals after internalization of latex beads. Immunoblot analysis and electron microscopy verified successful isolation of phagosomes. A total of 159 proteins were identified from the reference strain HM1 at different stages of phagosome maturation. Approximately 70% of them were detected in a time-dependent fashion, suggesting dynamism of phagosome biogenesis. The kinetics of representative proteins were verified by immunoblots and also by video microscopy of live transgenic amebae expressing green fluorescent protein-fused EhRab7A. Furthermore, we observed significant differences in phagosome profiles between HM1 and two recent clinical isolates. Approximately 60% of 229 proteins detected in at least one of these three strains were identified only in one strain, while approximately 20% of these proteins were detected in all three strains. These data should provide significant insights into molecular characterization of phagosome biogenesis, and help to elucidate the pathogenesis of this important infection. 相似文献

The neutrophil is a key player in immunity, and its activities are essential for the resolution of infections. Neutrophil-pathogen interactions usually trigger a large arsenal of antimicrobial measures that leads to the highly efficient killing of pathogens. In neutrophils, the phagocytic process, including the formation and maturation of the phagosome, is in many respects very different from that in other phagocytes. Although the complex mechanisms that coordinate the membrane traffic, oxidative burst, and release of granule contents required for the microbicidal activities of neutrophils are not completely understood, it is evident that they are unique and differ from those in macrophages. Neutrophils exhibit more rapid rates of phagocytosis and higher intensity of oxidative respiratory response than do macrophages. The phagosome maturation pathway in macrophages, which is linked to the endocytic pathway, is replaced in neutrophils by the rapid delivery of preformed granules to nonacidic phagosomes. This review describes the plasticity and dynamics of the phagocytic process with a special focus on neutrophil phagosome maturation. 相似文献

Control of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection requires CD4 T-cell responses and major histocompatibility complex class II (MHC-II) processing of M. tuberculosis antigens (Ags). We have previously demonstrated that macrophages process heat-killed (HK) M. tuberculosis more efficiently than live M. tuberculosis. These observations suggested that live M. tuberculosis may inhibit Ag processing by inhibiting phagosome maturation or that HK M. tuberculosis may be less resistant to Ag processing. In the present study we examined the correlation between M. tuberculosis viability and phagosome maturation and efficiency of Ag processing. Since heat treatment could render M. tuberculosis Ags more accessible to proteolysis, M. tuberculosis was additionally killed by antibiotic treatment and radiation. Processing of HK, live, radiation-killed (RadK), or rifampin-killed (RifK) M. tuberculosis in activated murine bone marrow macrophages was examined by using an I-A(b)-restricted T-cell hybridoma cell line (BB7) that recognizes an epitope derived from Ag 85B. Macrophages processed HK M. tuberculosis more rapidly and efficiently than they processed live, RadK, or RifK M. tuberculosis. Live, RadK, and RifK M. tuberculosis cells were processed with similar efficiencies for presentation to BB7 T hybridoma cells. Furthermore, phagosomes containing live or RadK M. tuberculosis expressed fewer M. tuberculosis peptide-MHC-II complexes than phagosomes containing HK M. tuberculosis expressed. Since only live M. tuberculosis was able to prevent acidification of the phagosome, our results suggest that regulation of phagosome maturation does not explain the differences in processing of different forms of M. tuberculosis. These findings suggest that the mechanisms used by M. tuberculosis to inhibit phagosomal maturation differ from the mechanisms involved in modulating phagosome Ag processing. 相似文献

Calmodulin kinase II regulates the maturation and antigen presentation of human dendritic cells 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Dendritic cells (DC) are professional antigen-presenting cells, which activate the adaptive immune system. Upon receiving a danger signal, they undergo a maturation process, which increases their antigen presentation capacity, but the responsible regulatory mechanisms remain incompletely understood. A Ca2+-calmodulin (Cam)-Cam kinase II (CamK II) pathway regulates phagosome maturation in macrophages, and this pathway is inhibited by pathogenic microbes. Our hypothesis is that signal transduction events which control phagosome maturation also regulate antigen presentation. Stimulation of primary human DC or the human DC line KG-1, with particulate antigen, resulted in the activation of CamK II and its localization to the phagosome and plasma membrane. Two mechanistically distinct inhibitors of CamK II significantly reduced DC maturation, as determined by up-regulation of surface costimulatory and major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules and secretion of cytokines. Confocal microscopy demonstrated that the CamK II inhibitors blocked the antigen-induced increase in total cellular MHC class molecules as well as their trafficking to the plasma membrane. Inhibition of CamK II was associated with decreased presentation of particulate and soluble MHC class II-restricted antigen, with a greater effect on the former. These data support a model in which CamK II regulates critical stages of the maturation and antigen presentation capacity of human DC, particularly in response to stimulation via phagocytosis. 相似文献

Mechanisms of mycobacterial persistence in tuberculosis 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

Tuberculosis is one of the world's most devastating diseases, with more than two million deaths and eight million new cases occurring annually. Mycobacterium tuberculosis evades the innate antimicrobial defenses of macrophages by inhibiting the maturation of its phagosome to a bactericidal phagolysosome. Phagosome maturation is dependent on macrophage Ca(2+) signaling, which results in the recruitment of cytosolic calmodulin (CaM) to the phagosome membrane and subsequent focal activation of CaM kinase II (CaMKII). M. tuberculosis blocks this process via inhibition of a macrophage enzyme, sphingosine kinase, which is a proximal generator of Ca(2+) signaling during phagocytosis. This results in a failure of assembly of the Ca(2+)/CaM/CaMKII signaling complex on the membrane of the mycobacterial phagosome and the bacilli's persistence and replication in a protective intracellular niche. Pharmacologic or physiologic reversal of this inhibition of macrophage Ca(2+) signaling restores the normal sequence of phagosome maturation, resulting in decreased intracellular viability of M. tuberculosis. 相似文献

Phagocytosis mediates the clearance of apoptotic bodies and also the elimination of microbial pathogens. The nascent phagocytic vacuole formed upon particle engulfment lacks microbicidal and degradative activity. These capabilities are acquired as the phagosome undergoes maturation; a progressive remodeling of its membrane and contents that culminates in the formation of phagolysosomes. Maturation entails orderly sequential fusion of the phagosomal vacuole with specialized endocytic and secretory compartments. Concomitantly, the phagosomal membrane undergoes both inward and outward vesiculation and tubulation followed by fission, thereby recycling components and maintaining its overall size. Here, we summarize what is known about the molecular machinery that governs this complex metamorphosis of phagosome maturation. 相似文献

During phagocytosis and phagosome maturation, complex membrane traffic events must be coordinated. We have observed, using fluorescent fluid-phase and membrane markers, that in the human neutrophil, internalization of nonopsonized, Gram-positive bacteria, but not of latex beads, is accompanied by a rapid and localized formation of pinosomal structures. This pinocytic response is calcium-dependent but insensitive to actin cytoskeleton disruption and wortmannin treatment. Contrary to what we observe, endosomal structures usually are considered to participate in phagosome formation by providing necessary membrane to forming phagosomes. Instead, our results show a coupling between neutrophil secretory and membrane-retrieval processes during phagosome maturation, and we suggest that the observed, localized pinocytic response is linked to the secretion of azurophilic granules toward nascent phagosomes. Accordingly, M and M-like protein-expressing Streptococcus pyogenes bacteria, which are able to survive inside neutrophil phagosomes, inhibit both the secretion of azurophilic granules to phagosomes and pinosome formation. 相似文献

Pathogenic mycobacterial organisms have the capacity to inhibit macrophage activation and phagosome maturation. Although the mechanism is complex, several studies have incriminated signaling through TLR2 receptors with subsequent activation of the MAPK pathway p38 (MAPKp38) and overproduction of IL-10 in the survival of pathogenic mycobacterial organisms. In the present study, we compared the response of bovine monocytes with infection by Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP), the cause of paratuberculosis in ruminants, with the closely related organism M. avium subspecies avium (Maa), which usually does not cause disease in ruminants. Both MAP and Maa induced phosphorylation of MAPKp38 by bovine monocytes; however, addition of a blocking anti-TLR2 antibody partially prevented MAPKp38 phosphorylation of MAP-infected monocytes but not Maa-infected monocytes. Addition of anti-TLR2 antibody enhanced phagosome acidification and phagosome-lysosome fusion in MAP-containing phagosomes and enabled monocytes to kill MAP organisms. These changes were not observed in Maa-infected monocytes. The effect on phagosome maturation appears to occur independently from the previously described inhibitory effects of IL-10 on phagosome acidification and organism killing, as IL-10 production was not affected by addition of anti-TLR2 antibody to monocyte cultures. Therefore, signaling through the TLR2 receptor appears to play a role in phagosome trafficking and antimicrobial responses in MAP-infected bovine mononuclear phagocytes. 相似文献

Macropinocytosis (fluid uptake) and phagocytosis (particle uptake) are processes that result in the formation of intracellular membrane enclosed vacuoles termed macropinosomes and phagosomes, respectively. Macropinosomes and phagosomes are modified by fission and fusion reactions with the endo-lysosomal pathway that eventually transform these vacuoles into a lysosomal environment. Many human bacterial pathogens, including species of Mycobacteria, Legionella, and Chlamydia, are thought to survive by disrupting the normal membrane trafficking events that usually result in the formation of phago-lysosomes and death of the microorganism. In addition, a number of important pathogens facilitate homotypic phagosome fusion in order to generate an intracellular environment conducive for survival. A greater understanding of the regulation of phagosomal maturation and fusion will be critical in designing new therapies to treat infections caused by intracellular pathogens. The genetically tractable phagocyte, D. discoideum, has proven extremely useful in dissecting the signaling pathways regulating macropinocytosis, phagocytosis, phagosomal maturation and phagosome–phagosome fusion. A body of knowledge has accumulated and demonstrates important roles for Rab GTPases, the cytoskeleton, phosphoinositide metabolism and pH regulation in regulating phagosome maturation. This review will summarize the current state of knowledge. 相似文献

Leishmania donovani promastigotes survive inside macrophage phagosomes by inhibiting phagosomal maturation. The main surface glycoconjugate on promastigotes, lipophosphoglycan (LPG), is crucial for survival and mediates the formation of a protective shell of F-actin around the phagosome. Previous studies have demonstrated that this effect involves inhibition of protein kinase C alpha. The present study shows that functional Cdc42 and Rac1 are required for the formation of F-actin around L. donovani phagosomes. Moreover, we present data showing that phagosomes containing LPG-defective L. donovani, which is unable to induce F-actin accumulation, display both elevated levels of periphagosomal F-actin and impaired phagosomal maturation in macrophages with permanently active forms of Cdc42 and Rac1. We conclude that L. donovani engages Cdc42 and Rac1 to build up a protective coat of F-actin around its phagosome to prevent phagosomal maturation. 相似文献

Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP), the agent of paratuberculosis, is a slow growing mycobacteria that survives within ruminant mononuclear phagocytes by preventing cell activation and phagosome maturation. We investigated interactions between MAP and monocyte membrane receptors that result in activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) p38 pathway and suppression of monocyte antimicrobial activity. Bovine monocytes were treated with blocking antibodies or specific chemical inhibitors of toll-like receptor 2 (TLR2), CD14 and CR3 receptor before infection with MAP organisms. MAPKp38 pathway activation, IL-10 expression and production, phagosome acidification, and MAP survival were determined. Our results indicated that MAP organisms-induced MAPKp38 activation occurs through partial interaction with TLR2. Blocking TLR2 receptors decreased IL-10 mRNA expression but not IL-10 protein production, increased phagosome acidification, and increased the capacity of monocytes to kill MAP organisms. Furthermore, blocking CR3 receptors increased phagosome acidification but did not alter MAP killing. These finding suggest that phagosome acidification is dependent on a complex interaction between MAP and the phagosome wall that may involve multiple receptors but that organism killing is dependent on specific signaling involving TLR2 receptors. 相似文献
