    Abstract The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans offers many experimental advantages to study conserved mechanisms of phagocytosis and phagocytic clearance. These include the stereotyped timing of phagocytic events in vivo for time-lapse imaging, the availability of transgenic reporters labeling molecules involved in different steps of phagocytosis, and the transparency of the animal for fluorescence imaging. Further, the ease of forward and reverse genetics in C. elegans has enabled many of the initial discoveries of proteins involved in phagocytic clearance. In this chapter, we focus on phagocytosis by the large undifferentiated blastomeres of C. elegans embryos, which engulf and eliminate diverse phagocytic cargo from the corpse of the second polar body to cytokinetic midbody remnants. We describe the use of fluorescent time-lapse imaging to observe the distinct steps of phagocytic clearance and methods to normalize this process to distinguish defects in mutant strains. These approaches have enabled us to reveal new insights from the initial signaling to induce phagocytosis up until the final resolution of phagocytic cargo in phagolysosomes.

    Abstract As cancer cells develop resistance to apoptosis, non-apoptotic cell death modalities, such as ferroptosis, have emerged as promising strategies to combat therapy-resistant cancers. Cells that develop resistance to conventional therapies or metastatic cancer cells have been shown to have increased sensitivity to ferroptosis. Therefore, targeting the regulatory elements of ferroptosis in cancer could offer novel therapeutic opportunities. In this review, we first provide an overview of the known ferroptosis regulatory networks and discuss recent findings on how they contribute to cancer plasticity. We then expand into the critical role of selenium metabolism in regulating ferroptosis. Finally, we highlight specific cases where induction of ferroptosis could be used to sensitize cancer cells to this form of cell death.

    Abstract Phagocytic clearance is important to provide cells with metabolites and regulate immune responses, but little is known about how phagolysosomes finally resolve their phagocytic cargo of cell corpses, cell debris, and pathogens. While studying the phagocytic clearance of non-apoptotic polar bodies in C. elegans, we previously discovered that phagolysosomes tubulate into small vesicles to facilitate corpse clearance within 1.5 h. Here, we show that phagolysosome vesiculation depends on amino acid export by the solute transporter SLC-36.1 and the activation of TORC1. We demonstrate that downstream of TORC1, BLOC-1-related complex (BORC) is de-repressed by Ragulator through the BORC subunit BLOS-7. In addition, the BORC subunit SAM-4 is needed continuously to recruit the small GTPase ARL-8 to the phagolysosome for tubulation. We find that disrupting the regulated GTP-GDP cycle of ARL-8 reduces tubulation by kinesin-1, delays corpse clearance, and mislocalizes ARL-8 away from lysosomes. We also demonstrate that mammalian phagocytes use BORC to promote phagolysosomal degradation, confirming the conserved importance of TOR and BORC. Finally, we show that HOPS is required after tubulation for the rapid degradation of cargo in small phagolysosomal vesicles, suggesting that additional rounds of lysosome fusion occur. Thus, by observing single phagolysosomes over time, we identified the molecular pathway regulating phagolysosome vesiculation that promotes efficient resolution of phagocytosed cargos.

    Abstract Efficient degradation of phagocytic cargo in lysosomes is crucial to maintain cellular homeostasis and defending cells against pathogens. However, the mechanisms underlying the degradation and recycling of macromolecular cargo within the phagolysosome remain incompletely understood. We previously reported that the phagolysosome containing the corpse of the polar body in C. elegans tubulates into small vesicles to facilitate corpse clearance, a process that requires cargo protein degradation and amino acid export. Here we show that degradation of hexosylceramides by the prosaposin ortholog SPP-10 and glucosylceramidases is required for timely corpse clearance. We observed accumulation of membranous structures inside endolysosomes of spp-10-deficient worms, which are likely caused by increased hexosylceramide species. spp-10 deficiency also caused alteration of additional sphingolipid subclasses, like dihydroceramides, 2-OH-ceramides, and dihydrosphingomyelins. While corpse engulfment, initial breakdown of corpse membrane inside the phagolysosome and lumen acidification proceeded normally in spp-10-deficient worms, formation of the cargo-containing vesicles from the corpse phagolysosome was reduced, resulting in delayed cargo degradation and phagolysosome resolution. Thus, by combining ultrastructural studies and sphingolipidomic analysis with observing single phagolysosomes over time, we identified a role of prosaposin/SPP-10 in maintaining phagolysosomal structure, which promotes efficient resolution of phagocytic cargos.

    Abstract Phagocytosis and autophagy are two distinct pathways that degrade external and internal unwanted particles. Both pathways lead to lysosomal degradation inside the cell, and over the last decade, the line between them has blurred; autophagy proteins were discovered on phagosomes engulfing foreign bacteria, leading to the proposal of LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP). Many proteins involved in macroautophagy are used for phagosome degradation, although Atg8/LC3 family proteins only decorate the outer membrane of LC3-associated phagosomes, in contrast to both autophagosome membranes. A few proteins distinguish LAP from autophagy, such as components of the autophagy pre-initiation complex. However, most LAP cargo is wrapped in multiple layers of membranes, making them similar in structure to autophagosomes. Recent evidence suggests that LC3 is important for the degradation of internal membranes, explaining why LC3 would be a vital part of both macroautophagy and LAP. In addition to removing invading pathogens, multicellular organisms also use LAP to degrade cell debris, including cell corpses and photoreceptor outer segments. The post-mitotic midbody remnant is another cell fragment, which results from each cell division, that was recently added to the growing list of LAP cargoes. Thus, LAP plays an important role during the normal physiology and homoeostasis of animals.

    Abstract To understand how undifferentiated pluripotent cells cope with cell corpses, we examined the clearance of polar bodies born during female meiosis. We found that polar bodies lose membrane integrity and expose phosphatidylserine in Caenorhabditis elegans. Polar body signaling recruits engulfment receptors to the plasma membrane of embryonic blastomeres using the PI3K VPS-34, RAB-5 GTPase and the sorting nexin SNX-6. The second polar body is then phagocytosed using receptor-mediated engulfment pathways dependent on the Rac1 ortholog CED-10 but undergoes non-apoptotic programmed cell death independent of engulfment. RAB-7 GTPase is required for lysosome recruitment to the polar body phagosome, while LC3 lipidation is required for degradation of the corpse membrane after lysosome fusion. The polar body phagolysosome vesiculates in an mTOR- and ARL-8-dependent manner, which assists its timely degradation. Thus, we established a genetic model to study clearance by LC3-associated phagocytosis and reveal insights into the mechanisms of phagosome maturation and degradation.

    Abstract The lipids phosphatidylserine (PtdSer) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PtdEth) are normally asymmetrically localized to the cytosolic face of membrane bilayers, but can both be externalized during diverse biological processes, including cell division, cell fusion, and cell death. Externalized lipids in the plasma membrane are recognized by lipid-binding proteins to regulate the clearance of cell corpses and other cell debris. However, it is unclear whether PtdSer and PtdEth contribute in similar or distinct ways to these processes. We discovered that disruption of the lipid flippases that maintain PtdSer or PtdEth asymmetry in the plasma membrane have opposite effects on phagocytosis in

    Abstract In animals, the midbody coordinates the end of cytokinesis when daughter cells separate through abscission. The midbody was thought to be sequestered by macroautophagy, but recent evidence suggests that midbodies are primarily released and phagocytosed. It was unknown, however, whether autophagy proteins play a role in midbody phagosome degradation. Using a protein degradation assay, we show that midbodies are released in Caenorhabditis elegans Released midbodies are known to be internalized by actin-driven phagocytosis, which we show requires the RAB-5 GTPase to localize the class III phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) complex at the cortex. Autophagy-associated proteins, including the Beclin 1 homolog BEC-1 and the Atg8/LC3-family members LGG-1 and LGG-2, localize around the midbody phagosome and are required for midbody degradation. In contrast, proteins required specifically for macroautophagy, such as UNC-51 and EPG-8 (homologous to ULK1/Atg1 and Atg14, respectively) are not required for midbody degradation. These data suggest that the C. elegans midbody is degraded by LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP), not macroautophagy. Our findings reconcile the two prevailing models on the role of phagocytic and autophagy proteins, establishing a new non-canonical role for autophagy proteins in midbody degradation.
