Macrophages are vital constituents of both innate and adaptive immunity. In this study, we delved into the intricate role of p120-catenin (p120) in orchestrating autophagy in macrophages in response to endotoxin stimulation. Depletion of p120 effectively suppressed LPS-induced autophagy in both J774A.1 macrophages and murine bone marrow-derived macrophages. LPS not only elevated the interaction between p120 and L chain 3 (LC3) I/II but also facilitated the association of p120 with mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). p120 depletion in macrophages by small interfering RNA reduced LPS-induced dissociation of mTOR and Unc-51-like kinase 1 (ULK1), leading to an increase in the phosphorylation of ULK1. p120 depletion also enhanced LPS-triggered macrophage apoptosis, as evidenced by increased levels of cleaved caspase 3, 7-aminoactinomycin D staining, and TUNEL assay. Notably, inhibiting autophagy reversed the decrease in apoptosis caused by LPS stimulation in macrophages overexpressing p120. Additionally, the ablation of p120 inhibited autophagy and accentuated apoptosis in alveolar macrophages in LPS-challenged mice. Collectively, our findings strongly suggest that p120 plays a pivotal role in fostering autophagy while concurrently hindering apoptosis in macrophages, achieved through modulation of the mTOR/ULK1 signaling pathway in sepsis. This underscores the potential of targeting macrophage p120 as an innovative therapeutic avenue for treating inflammatory disorders.</p>","PeriodicalId":16045,"journal":{"name":"Journal of immunology","volume":" ","pages":"1666-1675"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11610512/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142467419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we collected peripheral blood from 17 S. aureus bacteremia patients to study circulating plasmablast responses. Using single-cell transcriptome gene expression combined with sequencing of variable heavy and light Ig genes, we retrieved sequences from >400 plasmablasts revealing a high diversity with >300 unique variable heavy and light sequences.
