Host immune system strikes back
Autophagy-mediated major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I presentation can follow either the conventional MHC class I pathway or a recently described vacuolar pathway. In the vacuolar pathway, protein degradation is effected by lysosomal proteases, peptide exchange takes place with recirculating MHC complexes and the newly formed peptide-MHC complexes reach the cell surface by the endoc...
متن کاملThe downregulation of ATG4B mediated by microRNA-34a/34c-5p suppresses rapamycin-induced autophagy
Objective(s): Autophagy-related 4B (ATG4B) plays an important role in the process of autophagy induction. However, the molecular events that govern the expression of ATG4B in this process are not well known. Materials and Methods: Human ATG4B 3'-UTR region (1377 nt) containing miR-34a/miR-34c-5p binding site was amplified by PCR. Luciferase assay was used to assess the activity of reporter gene...
متن کاملAutophagy and Autophagy-Related Proteins in CNS Autoimmunity
Autophagy comprises a heterogeneous group of cellular pathways that enables eukaryotic cells to deliver cytoplasmic constituents for lysosomal degradation, to recycle nutrients, and to survive during starvation. In addition to these primordial functions, autophagy has emerged as a key mechanism in orchestrating innate and adaptive immune responses and to shape CD4+ T cell immunity through deliv...
متن کاملAutophagy mediates transporter associated with antigen processing-independent presentation of viral epitopes through MHC class I pathway.
The endogenous presentation of the majority of viral epitopes through MHC class I pathway is strictly dependent on the transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP) complex, which transfers the peptide products of proteasomal degradation into the endoplasmic reticulum. A small number of epitopes can be presented through the TAP-independent pathway, the precise mechanism for which remains...
متن کاملAutophagy-Mediated Antigen Presentation and its Importance in Adoptive Immunotherapy
Autophagy is an evolutionary conserved cellular process found in all eukaryotic cells to play roles in cell growth, development, homeostasis and innate immunity. In autophagy, sequestration of cytosolic contents initiates with the development of a phagophore that grows into an autophagosome while enclosing a portion of the cytosol. The completed autophagosome fuses with a lysosome to form autol...
