项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Professional phagocytes play a critical role in anti-microbial defense. Uptake of microbes by phagocytosis results in the formation of a dynamic vesicular compartment, termed the phagolysosome. The phagolysosome physically and functionally defines a critical separation of the microbe from the host cell, allowing the host to target degradative anti-microbial mechanisms to this confined space. We find that bacterial infection triggers the unfolded protein response (UPR), a cellular program associated with ER stress and innate immune function. Activation of the UPR increases the capacity of the cell to degrade proteins, but the mechanisms responsible for this degradation are incompletely understood. Our preliminary studies suggest that UPR activation during bacterial infection results in increased association of methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) with the degradative lysosomal compartment and bacterial killing. Inhibition of specific UPR regulators results in decreased association with lysosomes and decreased MRSA killing. The central hypothesis of this proposal is that activation of the UPR in phagocytes results in increased trafficking and degradative capacity of the phagolysosomal network, leading to enhanced degradative, and thus anti-microbial, function. To test this hypothesis, we will (1) measure mobilization of the lysosomal network using physical and functional markers upon activation of the UPR; (2) define the role of the UPR sensors, Ire1, ATF6 and PERK in regulating specific aspects of lysosomal trafficking and function in response to innate immune signals during infection. Regulation of the degradative capacity of the cell by the UPR is a fundamental strategy by which cells can respond to perturbations in the production or secretion of proteins. Our studies now highlight a novel connection between UPR-mediated degradation and anti-microbial function, and will define key druggable targets that shape the macrophage anti-microbial arsenal for development of anti-infective strategies.

描述（由申请人提供）：专业吞噬细胞在抗微生物防御中发挥着关键作用。通过吞噬作用摄取微生物导致动态囊泡区室的形成，称为吞噬溶酶体。吞噬溶酶体在物理上和功能上定义了微生物与宿主细胞的关键分离，使宿主能够将降解抗微生物机制瞄准这个有限的空间。我们发现细菌感染会触发未折叠蛋白反应（UPR），这是一种与内质网应激和先天免疫功能相关的细胞程序。 UPR 的激活增加了细胞降解蛋白质的能力，但导致这种降解的机制尚不完全清楚。我们的初步研究表明，细菌感染期间 UPR 激活导致耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌 (MRSA) 与降解溶酶体区室和细菌杀灭的关联增加。抑制特定的 UPR 调节剂会导致与溶酶体的关联减少并减少 MRSA 杀灭。该提议的中心假设是吞噬细胞中 UPR 的激活导致吞噬溶酶体网络的运输和降解能力增加，从而增强降解功能，从而增强抗菌功能。为了检验这一假设，我们将 (1) 在 UPR 激活时使用物理和功能标记来测量溶酶体网络的动员； (2) 定义 UPR 传感器、Ire1、ATF6 和 PERK 在调节溶酶体运输的特定方面以及感染期间响应先天免疫信号的功能中的作用。 UPR 对细胞降解能力的调节是细胞对蛋白质产生或分泌中的扰动做出反应的基本策略。我们的研究现在强调了 UPR 介导的降解和抗微生物功能之间的新联系，并将确定塑造巨噬细胞抗微生物库的关键药物靶标，以开发抗感染策略。
