It has been reported that up-regulation of BNIP3, which acts as mitophagy receptor, promotes mitophagy. In our recent study, we found that the post-translational modification of BNIP3 is crucial to induce mitophagy, and that a crosstalk between phosphorylation/dephosphorylation and ubiquitination acts as a switch to control BNIP3-mediated mitophagy under hypoxia. We demonstrated that the phosphorylation of BNIP3 at S60 and T66 by MAPK8/9 (mitogen-activated protein kinase 8/9) under hypoxia blocks the degradation of BNIP3 via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and enhances its interaction with MAP1LC3 (microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3), thereby promoting mitophagy. In contrast, dephosphorylation of BNIP3 by members of the PP1/2A (protein phosphatase PP1 and PP2A) phosphatase subfamily under hypoxia accelerates degradation of BNIP3 via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway, thereby suppressing mitophagy. Altogether, these findings provide knowledge necessary to devise intervention strategies for hypoxia-related diseases and/or hypoxia-related developmental processes. <b>Abbreviations:</b> BCL2: BCL2 apoptosis regulator; BCL2L1: BCL2 like 1; BECN1: beclin 1, autophagy related; BH3: BCL2 homology 3; BNIP3: BCL2/adenovirus e1B 19 kDa protein interacting protein 3; LIR: MAP1LC3-interacting region; MAP1LC3: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; MAPK8: mitogen-activated protein kinase 8; MAPK9: mitogen-activated protein kinase 9; PEST: rich in amino acids P, E, S, T, and D; PP1: protein phosphatase 1; PP2A: protein phosphatase 2A; PEST: rich in amino acids P, E, S, T, and D.</p>","PeriodicalId":72341,"journal":{"name":"Autophagy reports","volume":" ","pages":"2197637"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12005449/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47922831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Novel therapeutics should then target the host pathways exploited by the pathogens to form these intracellular niches. An attractive strategy to achieve this is inducing xenophagy, the selective autophagy that recognizes and targets invading pathogens for degradation. However, some bacteria have evolved mechanisms to co-opt xenophagy for their own benefit. Therefore, in this study we determine the effect of inducing xenophagy by different pathways, namely the inhibition of MTOR or through TRPML1-TFEB activation, on the fate of pathogens that are either susceptible to, evade or require autophagy for intracellular survival. We identified a dose of rapamycin that exclusively induces autophagy through MTOR inhibition and used ML-SA1 to activate the TRPML1-TFEB pathway, which also increases lysosomal biogenesis. We found that ML-SA1 induced greater autophagy flux than rapamycin. By performing in vitro infections with <i>H. pylori, S</i>. Typhimurium, <i>S. flexneri, L. monocytogenes</i> and <i>S. aureus</i>, we established that ML-SA1 had a more potent effect than rapamycin in restricting the growth of pathogens susceptible to xenophagy. In the case of pathogens that produce effectors to block xenophagy, ML-SA1, but not rapamycin, resulted in bacterial killing. During <i>S. aureus</i> infection, which depends on autophagy for intracellular survival, ML-SA1 administration potentiated bacterial growth. We suggest that while targeting the xenophagy pathway holds promise for treatment of intracellular pathogens, a precision approach to select the correct target to induce effective bacterial killing is warranted. <b>Abbreviations</b>: 3-MA: 3-methyladenine, ATG: autophagy-related protein, Baf: bafilomycin A1; Ca2+: calcium, CFU: colony-forming units, DMSO: dimethyl sulfoxide, h: hour, <i>Hp: Helicobacter pylori</i>, hpi: hours post-infection, Lamp1: lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1, LC3: microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain, <i>Lm: Listeria monocytogenes</i>, LSD: lysosomal storage disorder, min: minutes, mTOR: mechanistic target of rapamycin; mTORC1: mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1, MEF: mouse embryonic fibroblast, μM: micromolar, moi: multiplicity of infection, nM: nanomolar, OD: optical density, PBS: phosphate buffer saline, <i>Sa: Staphylococcus aureus</i>, SCV: <i>Salmonella</i> containing vacuole, Sifs: <i>Salmonella</i>-induced filaments, <i>Sf: Shigella flexneri</i>, SLAPs: Spacious Listeria containing phagosomes, <i>St: Salmonella</i> Typhimurium TFEB: transcription factor EB, TRPML1: transient receptor potential membrane channel 1, VacA: vacuolating cytotoxin, wt: wild-type.</p>","PeriodicalId":72341,"journal":{"name":"Autophagy reports","volume":" ","pages":"2191918"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12039413/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43590026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since an autophagosome marker, microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3)-II, was found in cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs), autophagy may cooperate with EV secretion pathways to control unconventional secretion of intracellular molecules. Several studies have demonstrated that pharmacological inhibition of autophagic turnover and pathogen-induced endolysosomal dysfunction enhanced the secretion of autophagosome-like EVs (ALVs). However, whether external stimulation induces ALV secretion is unclear. Here we showed that co-stimulation with IL-4 and anti-CD40 antibody (IL-4:CD40) enhanced the secretion of LC3-II<sup>+</sup>ALVs compared to co-stimulation by IL-4 and lipopolysaccharide (IL-4:LPS) or by IL4 and anti-IgM antibody in B cells. While IL-4:LPS stimulation accelerated autophagic flux, IL-4:CD40 stimulation reduced autophagosome-lysosome fusion without affecting lysosomal function. Although both IL-4:LPS and IL-4:CD40 induced the expression of similar genes involved in vesicle fusion or transportation, IL-4:CD40 preferentially enhanced the expression of the small GTPase RAB27a compared to IL-4:LPS. Genetic disruption by the CRISPR-Cas9 system revealed that loss of RAB27a membrane-binding ability impaired LC3-II<sup>+</sup>ALV secretion but not ALIX<sup>+</sup>EV secretion in B-lymphoma A20 cells. Additionally, reconstitution of human wild-type RAB27A in RAB27a mutant A20 cells restored LC3-II<sup>+</sup>ALV secretion, indicating that RAB27a controls autophagosome secretion. Furthermore, LC3-II<sup>+</sup>ALVs were found in the sera of tumor-bearing mice and the plasma of healthy human donors. Our findings may provide a role for B-cell secretory autophagy in regulating intercellular communication under various physiological conditions, such as vaccination, pathogen infection, and B-cell lymphoma progression. <b>Abbreviations:</b> ALVs: autophagosome-like vesicles; ATG: autophagy-related; Baf A1: bafilomycin A1; CNX: calnexin; EVs: extracellular vesicles; Ig: immunoglobulin; IL: Interleukin; LC3: microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light; LPS: Lipopolysaccharides; MVs: microvesicles; RAB: member RAS oncogene family; TLR: toll-like receptor.</p>","PeriodicalId":72341,"journal":{"name":"Autophagy reports","volume":" ","pages":"2179287"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12039400/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45183223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
