The reduction or loss of MHC-I antigen surface expression in human and murine tumor cells is partly attributable to the dysregulation of various components of the MHC-I antigen-processing machinery. Accumulating evidence suggests that autophagy, besides its vital role in maintaining the cellular homeostasis, plays an important role in MHC-II surface expression. Here, we report that autophagy is a negative regulator of MHC-I antigen expression in B16 melanoma cells; however, in the presence of IFN-γ, it is converted to a positive regulator. We show that autophagy not only participates in the degradation of MHC-I antigen but also plays a role in the generation of MHC-I-binding peptides. For these two processes, IFN-γ interferes with MHC-I antigen degradation, rather than affecting peptide generation. Using B16 melanoma mouse model, we further show that autophagy may enhance the cytolysis of CTL to melanoma cells at the early stage of melanoma, but impairs the cytolysis at the late stage. Such different consequences may be explained by the different levels of IFN-γ during tumor progression. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that autophagy is involved in the regulation of MHC-I antigen expression, through which autophagy can play different roles in tumor immunity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007371 Interferon-gamma The major interferon produced by mitogenically or antigenically stimulated LYMPHOCYTES. It is structurally different from TYPE I INTERFERON and its major activity is immunoregulation. It has been implicated in the expression of CLASS II HISTOCOMPATIBILITY ANTIGENS in cells that do not normally produce them, leading to AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001343 Autophagy The segregation and degradation of various cytoplasmic constituents via engulfment by MULTIVESICULAR BODIES; VACUOLES; or AUTOPHAGOSOMES and their digestion by LYSOSOMES. It plays an important role in BIOLOGICAL METAMORPHOSIS and in the removal of bone by OSTEOCLASTS. Defective autophagy is associated with various diseases, including NEURODEGENERATIVE DISEASES and cancer.

D013602 T-Lymphocytes, Cytotoxic Immunized T-lymphocytes which can directly destroy appropriate target cells. These cytotoxic lymphocytes may be generated in vitro in mixed lymphocyte cultures (MLC), in vivo during a graft-versus-host (GVH) reaction, or after immunization with an allograft, tumor cell or virally transformed or chemically modified target cell. The lytic phenomenon is sometimes referred to as cell-mediated lympholysis (CML). These CD8-positive cells are distinct from NATURAL KILLER CELLS and NATURAL KILLER T-CELLS. There are two effector phenotypes: TC1 and TC2.

D015395 Histocompatibility Antigens Class I Membrane glycoproteins consisting of an alpha subunit and a BETA 2-MICROGLOBULIN beta subunit. In humans, highly polymorphic genes on CHROMOSOME 6 encode the alpha subunits of class I antigens and play an important role in determining the serological specificity of the surface antigen. Class I antigens are found on most nucleated cells and are generally detected by their reactivity with alloantisera. These antigens are recognized during GRAFT REJECTION and restrict cell-mediated lysis of virus-infected cells.
