Autophagy-assisted antigen cross-presentation
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is generally believed that most tumor antigens are passively released from either health or dying tumor cells as intact soluble antigens, peptide fragments complexed with heat shock proteins (HSPs), or packaged in secretary vesicles in the form of microparticles or exosomes. The passive release of tumor antigens is generally non-inflammatory and non-immunogenic; however, results from others and our laboratories suggest that autophagy is critically involved in immunogenic cell death.

Efficient cross-presentation depends on autophagy in tumor cells.
Cross-presentation of antigens is critical for the induction of adaptive immunity against tumor cells and infectious pathogens. Currently, it is not known how cross-presentation of tumor antigens is regulated by autophagy. Using both HEK 293T cells that expressed the model antigen OVA and melanoma cells as antigen donors, we show that macroautophagy in tumor cells is essential for cross-present...
متن کاملCross-presentation of antigens by dendritic cells: role of autophagy
Dendritic cells (DCs) are a heterogeneous population of antigen presenting cells(APCs) that initiate and orient immune responses. They sense the pathogens and pathogen-derived antigenic molecules via pattern recognition receptors(PRRs). They process and present extracellular antigens in the context of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II molecules to CD4 + T helper cells and intracel...
متن کاملTumor-derived autophagosome vaccine: mechanism of cross-presentation and therapeutic efficacy.
PURPOSE We previously reported that autophagy in tumor cells plays a critical role in cross-presentation of tumor antigens and that autophagosomes are efficient antigen carriers for cross-priming of tumor-reactive CD8(+) T cells. Here, we sought to characterize further the autophagosome-enriched vaccine named DRibble (DRiPs-containing blebs), which is derived from tumor cells after inhibition o...

متن کاملOf LAP, CUPS, and DRibbles – Unconventional Use of Autophagy Proteins for MHC Restricted Antigen Presentation
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...
