Abstract:
:LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) is a novel form of non-canonical autophagy where LC3 (microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3) is conjugated to phagosome membranes using a portion of the canonical autophagy machinery. The impact of LAP to immune regulation is best characterized in professional phagocytes, in particular macrophages, where LAP has instrumental roles in the clearance of extracellular particles including apoptotic cells and pathogens. Binding of dead cells via receptors present on the macrophage surface results in the translocation of the autophagy machinery to the phagosome and ultimately LC3 conjugation. These events promote a rapid form of phagocytosis that produces an "immunologically silent" clearance of the apoptotic cells. Consequences of LAP deficiency include a decreased capacity to clear dying cells and the establishment of a lupus-like autoimmune disease in mice. The ability of LAP to attenuate autoimmunity likely occurs through the dampening of pro-inflammatory signals upon engulfment of dying cells and prevention of autoantigen presentation to other immune cells. However, it remains unclear how LAP shapes both the activation and outcome of the immune response at the molecular level. Herein, we provide a detailed review of LAP and its known roles in the immune response and provide further speculation on the putative mechanisms by which LAP may regulate immune function, perhaps through the metabolic reprogramming and polarization of macrophages.
