中文摘要:
在免疫反應進行過程裡,由抗原呈獻細胞(antigen-presenting cells, APCs)將抗原片段(antigen peptides)藉由major histocompatibility complex (MHC)的界導,呈獻給CD4+ T cells,並由此活化T cells及後續免疫反應,是免疫反應極為重要的一環。一般狀況下,經由endosome / lysosome pathway處理過的外來性抗原(exogenous antigen),會經由MHC class II 分子呈獻給T cells。但是根據過去的觀察已經發現原本應是由MHC class I分子呈獻的內源性抗原(endogenous antigen),也會經由MHC class II呈獻出來。這篇文獻從autophagy的角度出發,解釋了endogenous antigen經由autophagy pathway以致由MHC class II presentation的現象。作者發現在dendritic cells的macroautophagy(一種autophagy)是一種持續活化進行的過程。且autophagosome也會與MHC class II compartments (MIICs)進行融合。而將antigen與LC3 接合在一起後,可以增加該抗原被MHC class II呈獻的機會,並且可以有效活化CD4+ T cells 。總結來說,macroautophagy是一種將endogenous antigen 送到MIICs進行處理,並且經由MHC class II presenting的方式。
