MicroRNA-17-5p Modulates Bacille Calmette-Guerin Growth in RAW264.7 Cells by Targeting ULK1.

ABSTRACT: To explore the potential roles of miRNAs in controlling the survival of mycobacteria in macrophages, miR-17-5p in the regulation of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin(BCG)growth in the macrophage RAW264.7 cells was interrogated. Our results reveal that an infection of BCG shows a time-dependent up-regulation of miR-17-5p in RAW264.7 cells in early phase; importantly, excessive expression of miR-17-5p in these cells exhibits an increased propagation of intracellular BCG. Mechanistically, the Unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1 (ULK1), an initial molecular of autophagy are identified as novel target of miR-17-5p, the miR-17-5p is capable of targeting down-regulating the expression of ULK1 protein. In addition, an overexpression of miR-17-5p in RAW264.7 cells is correlated with repression of ULK1 and the autophagosome related proteins LC3I/II. These results imply that miR-17-5p may be able to arrest the maturation of mycobacterial phagosomes in part by targeting ULK1, subsequently reduces the ability of host cells to kill intracellular BCG.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) alter the maturation of their phagosomes and reside within a compartment that resists acidification and fusion with lysosomes. To define the molecular composition of this compartment, we developed a novel method for obtaining highly purified phagosomes from BCG-infected human macrophages and analyzed the phagosomes by Western immunoblotting and mass spectrometry-based proteomics. Our purification procedure revealed that BCG grown on artificial medium becomes less dense after growth in macrophages. By Western immunoblotting, LAMP-2, Niemann-Pick protein C1, and syntaxin 3 were readily detectable on the BCG phagosome but at levels that were lower than on the latex bead phagosome; flotillin-1 and the vacuolar ATPase were barely detectable on the BCG phagosome but highly enriched on the latex bead phagosome. Immunofluorescence studies confirmed the scarcity of flotillin on BCG phagosomes and demonstrated an inverse correlation between bacterial metabolic activity and flotillin on M. tuberculosis phagosomes. By mass spectrometry, 447 human host proteins were identified on BCG phagosomes, and a partially overlapping set of 289 human proteins on latex bead phagosomes was identified. Interestingly, the majority of the proteins identified consistently on BCG phagosome preparations were also identified on latex bead phagosomes, indicating a high degree of overlap in protein composition of these two compartments. It is likely that many differences in protein composition are quantitative rather than qualitative in nature. Despite the remarkable overlap in protein composition, we consistently identified a number of proteins on the BCG phagosomes that were not identified in any of our latex bead phagosome preparations, including proteins involved in membrane trafficking and signal transduction, such as Ras GTPase-activating-like protein IQGAP1, and proteins of unknown function, such as FAM3C. Our phagosome purification procedure and initial proteomics analyses set the stage for a quantitative comparative analysis of mycobacterial and latex bead phagosome proteomes.
