Abstract

Toll-like receptors (TLRs) play a crucial role in several innate immune responses by regulating autophagy, but little is known about how TLR signaling controls autophagy. Here we demonstrate that p62/SQSTM1 is required for TLR4-mediated autophagy, which we show as selective autophagy of aggresome-like induced structures (ALIS). Treatment with LPS or Escherichia coli induced LC3(+) dot-like structures, and their assembly, but not lysosomal degradation, occurred independently of classic autophagic machinery. Microscopic and ultrastructural analyses showed that p62 is a component of the induced LC3(+) dots and these TLR4-induced p62(+) structures resemble ALIS. The levels of p62 mRNA and protein were increased in TLR4-activated cells and knockdown of p62 suppressed the ALIS formation and LC3-II conversion. The accumulation of p62 and ALIS required activation of Nrf2 by reactive oxygen species-p38 axis-dependent TLR4/MyD88 signaling, suggesting a link between innate immune and oxidative-stress responses. These findings indicate that TLR4-driven induction of p62 plays an essential role in the formation and the autophagic degradation of ALIS, which might be critical for regulating host defense.
