摘要
Background:Tuberculosis(TB) is a permanently respiratory disease which has afflicted human life and health.Autophagy is a cytoplasmic maintenance process which plays a pivot role against mycobacterium tuberculosis(Mtb).It has been reported that Sap M(also named Rv3310),a secreted acid phosphatase of Mtb,inhibits host cell autophagy by blocking autophagosome-lysosome fusion,but its role in the initiation of autophagy is unknown.Objective:Investigate the role of Mtb gene Sap M in regulating the initiation of autophagy in HEK293 A cells.Methods:We constructed the plasmid p FLAG-CMV2-Sap M to express Mtb gene Sap M in eukaryotic cells,and established 293 A cell line that stably expressing Sap M and GFP-LC3(Sap M-GFP-LC3 293A) by co-transfection.Sap M-GFPLC3 293 A cells and Vector-GFP-LC3 293 A cells were treated with autophagy inducer rapamycin or starvation,with or without chloroquine,and LC3 Ⅱ protein levels were detected by western blot,flow cytometry,or Fluorescence microscopy.Results:With Rapamycin treatment,LC3 II level was obviously lower in cells overexpressing Sap M compared to that in vector control cells.Moreover,after blocking autophagosome-lysosome fusion by chloroquine,the number of rapamycin induced GFP-LC3 punta in Sap M-GFP-LC3 group were dramatically lesser than that in vector group.Similar results were observed in starvation-induced autophagy.Conclusions:Our results indicated that Sap M inhibited a complete autophagic flux in HEK293 A cells and it suppressed the initiation of autophagy.These findings facilitated our understanding of the mechanisms how Sap M promoting the infection of Mtb,and may provide a new target for potential vaccines or drugs against tuberculosis.
