Actin-based phagosome motility [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Despite abundant evidence of actin's involvement at the particle internalization stage of phagocytosis, little is known about whether phagosomes undergo the same type of actin-based motility as observed with endocytic vesicles or such intracellular ...

Phagosome resolution regenerates lysosomes and maintains the degradative capacity in phagocytes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Phagocytes engulf unwanted particles into phagosomes that then fuse with lysosomes to degrade the enclosed particles. Ultimately, phagosomes must be recycled to help recover membrane resources that were consumed during phagocytosis and phagosome ...

The Capsule of Cryptococcus neoformans Modulates Phagosomal pH through Its Acid-Base Properties

open access: yesmSphere, 2018
Phagosomal acidification is a critical cellular mechanism for the inhibition and killing of ingested microbes by phagocytic cells. The acidic environment activates microbicidal proteins and creates an unfavorable environment for the growth of many ...

Real-time visualization of phagosomal pH manipulation by Cryptococcus neoformans in an immune signal-dependent way

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
Understanding of how intracellular pathogens survive in their host cells is important to improve management of their diseases. This has been fruitful for intracellular bacteria, but it is an understudied area in fungal pathogens.

Diversity and Versatility of Phagocytosis: Roles in Innate Immunity, Tissue Remodeling, and Homeostasis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2017
Phagocytosis, a critical early event in the microbicidal response of neutrophils, is now appreciated to serve multiple functions in a variety of cell types. Professional phagocytes play a central role in innate immunity by eliminating pathogenic bacteria,

Mechanism of Hip Arthropathy in Ankylosing Spondylitis: Abnormal Myeloperoxidase and Phagosome

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
BackgroundThe pathogenesis of Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) has not been elucidated, especially involving hip joint disease. The purpose of this study was to analyze the proteome of diseased hip in AS and to identify key protein biomarkers.Material and ...

The Mycobacterium tuberculosis Phagosome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Tuberculosis is currently the most devastating human bacterial disease, causing millions of deaths annually and infecting an overwhelming percentage of the global population. Its success as a scourge lies in the ability of Mycobacterium tuberculosis to prevent normal phagolysosome biogenesis, essential to the destruction of invading microorganisms ...

TRPC6 channel translocation into phagosomal membrane augments phagosomal function [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015
SignificanceHistorically, pulmonary infections treated with antibiotics killed bacteria while selecting for the unintended development of pathogenic resistance. One strategy to circumvent antibiotic resistance in pulmonary infection involves targeting the host phagosome and augmenting its function.

Histoplasma Responses to Nutritional Immunity Imposed by Macrophage Activation

open access: yesJournal of Fungi, 2019
The fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum resides within the phagosome of host phagocytic cells. Within this intracellular compartment, Histoplasma yeast replication requires the acquisition of several essential nutrients, including metal ions.

Analysis of phagosomal proteomes: From latex‐bead to bacterial phagosomes [PDF]

open access: yesPROTEOMICS, 2010
Abstract Phagosomal proteome characterization has contributed significantly to the understanding of host–pathogen interaction and the mechanism of infectious diseases caused by intracellular bacteria. The latex bead‐containing phagosome has been widely used as a model system to study phagosomal proteomes at a global level. In contrast,
