Antigen processing for MHC presentation by autophagy
نویسنده
چکیده
Autophagy delivers cytoplasmic constituents for lysosomal degradation. This catabolic pathway can be used to deliver intracellular antigens for major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II presentation. In addition, recent evidence suggests that it also facilitates the processing of extracellular antigens for both MHC class I and II presentation.

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...

Macroautophagy delivers cytoplasmic constituents for lysosomal degradation. Because MHC class II molecules are loaded with lysosomal products for CD4(+) T-cell stimulation, macroautophagy supports intracellular antigen processing onto MHC class II molecules. The molecular machinery of macroautophagy, however, does not only support this autophagic antigen processing, but seems to also modify ext...
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...
متن کاملAntigen processing via autophagy--not only for MHC class II presentation anymore?
T cells monitor intracellular and extracellular protein composition via proteolytic products that are displayed to them on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules. For this purpose it has been documented that MHC class II molecules, which were originally thought to just display lysosomal products of endocytosed proteins to CD4(+) helper T cells, can also present intracellular substrate...
متن کاملThe crosstalk between autophagic and endo-/exosomal pathways in antigen processing for MHC presentation in anticancer T cell immune responses
T cells recognize antigen fragments from proteolytic products that are presented to them in the form of peptides on major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules, which is crucial for the T cell to identify infected or transformed cells. Autophagy, a process that delivers cytoplasmic constituents for lysosomal degradation, has been observed to provide a substantial source of intra- and extra...
