Mycobacterial infection of macrophages results in membrane-permeable phagosomes.
Cell-mediated immunity is critical for host resistance to tuberculosis. T lymphocytes recognizing antigens presented by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I and class II molecules have been found to be necessary for control of mycobacterial infection. Mice genetically deficient in the generation of MHC class I and class Ia responses are susceptible to mycobacterial infection. Alth...
متن کاملTransport of phagosomes in mouse peritoneal macrophages.
Mouse macrophages were elicited by the peritoneal injection of chondroitin sulfate solution, harvested and purified, and used as experimental materials. Small and large (diameter: 0.9 microns and 3.0 microns, respectively) polystyrene beads (PB) were used as ingested particles. When the macrophages were incubated with Hank's solution containing small or large PB for 30 min, the phagosomes conta...
متن کاملMechanism of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Exclusion from Mycobacterial Phagosomes
Mycobacterium tuberculosis is sensitive to nitric oxide generated by inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Consequently, to ensure its survival in macrophages, M. tuberculosis inhibits iNOS recruitment to its phagosome by an unknown mechanism. Here we report the mechanism underlying this process, whereby mycobacteria affect the scaffolding protein EBP50, which normally binds to iNOS and links...
متن کاملMaturation of phagosomes containing different erythrophagocytic particles in primary macrophages
Erythrophagocytosis is a physiological process that aims to remove damaged red blood cells from the circulation in order to avoid hemolysis and uncontrolled liberation of iron. Many efforts have been made to understand heme trafficking inside macrophages, but little is known about the maturation of phagosomes containing different types of erythrophagocytic particles with different signals at th...
متن کاملSurvival of Mycobacteria in Macrophages Is Mediated by Coronin 1-Dependent Activation of Calcineurin
Pathogenic mycobacteria survive within macrophages by avoiding lysosomal delivery, instead residing in mycobacterial phagosomes. Upon infection, the leukocyte-specific protein coronin 1 is actively recruited to mycobacterial phagosomes, where it blocks lysosomal delivery by an unknown mechanism. Analysis of macrophages from coronin 1-deficient mice showed that coronin 1 is dispensable for F-act...
