Xenophagy in innate immunity: A battle between host and pathogen
2020
Wang, Zhenhui | Li, Chenghua
Autophagy is a fundamental bulk intracellular degradation and recycling process that directly eliminates intracellular microorganisms through “xenophagy” in various types of cells, especially in macrophages. Meanwhile, bacteria have evolved strategies and cellular self-defense mechanisms to prevent autophagosomal degradation and even attack the immune system of host. The lack of knowledge about the roles of autophagy in innate immunity severely limits our understanding of host defensive system and the development of farmed industry consisting of aquaculture. Increasing evidence in recent decades has shown the importance of autophagy. This review focuses on the triggering of xenophagy, targeting of invading pathogens to autophagosomes and elimination in the autophagolysosomes during pathogen infection. How the pathogen can escape from the xenophagy pathway was also discussed. Overall, we aim to reduce diseases and improve industrial production in aquaculture by providing theoretical and technical guidance on xenophagy.
