Abstract
In view of emerging drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB), host-directed adjunct therapies are urgently needed to improve treatment outcomes with currently available anti-TB therapies. One approach is to interfere with the formation of lipid-laden "foamy" macrophages in the host, as they provide a nutrient-rich host cell environment for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). Here, we provide evidence that Wnt family member 6 (WNT6), a ligand of the evolutionarily conserved Wingless/Integrase 1 (WNT) signaling pathway, promotes foam cell formation by regulating key lipid metabolic genes including acetyl-CoA carboxylase 2 (ACC2) during pulmonary TB. Using genetic and pharmacological approaches, we demonstrated that lack of functional WNT6 or ACC2 significantly reduced intracellular triacylglycerol (TAG) levels and Mtb survival in macrophages. Moreover, treatment of Mtb-infected mice with a combination of a pharmacological ACC2 inhibitor and the anti-TB drug isoniazid (INH) reduced lung TAG and cytokine levels, as well as lung weights, compared with treatment with INH alone. This combination also reduced Mtb bacterial numbers and the size of mononuclear cell infiltrates in livers of infected mice. In summary, our findings demonstrate that Mtb exploits WNT6/ACC2-induced storage of TAGs in macrophages to facilitate its intracellular survival, a finding that opens new perspectives for host-directed adjunctive treatment of pulmonary TB.

Abstract
Large volumes of liquid and other materials from the extracellular environment are internalised by eukaryotic cells via an endocytic process called macropinocytosis. It is now recognised that this fundamental and evolutionarily conserved pathway is hijacked by numerous intracellular pathogens as an entry portal to the host cell interior. Yet, an increasing number of additional cellular functions of macropinosomes in pathologic processes have been reported beyond this role for fluid internalisation. It emerges that the identity of macropinosomes can vary hugely and change rapidly during their lifetime. A deeper understanding of this important multi-faceted compartment is based on novel methods for their investigation. These methods are either imaging-based for the tracking of macropinosome dynamics, or they provide the means to extract macropinosomes at high purity for comprehensive proteomic analyses. Here, we portray these new approaches for the investigation of macropinosomes. We document how these method developments have provided insights for a new understanding of the intracellular lifestyle of the bacterial pathogens Shigella and Salmonella. We suggest that a systematic complete characterisation of macropinosome subversion with these approaches during other infection processes and pathologies will be highly beneficial for our understanding of the underlying cellular and molecular processes.

Abstract
Salmonella is a human and animal pathogen that causes gastro-enteric diseases. The key to Salmonella infection is its entry into intestinal epithelial cells, where the bacterium resides within a Salmonella-containing vacuole (SCV). Salmonella entry also induces the formation of empty macropinosomes, distinct from the SCV, in the vicinity of the entering bacteria. A few minutes after its formation, the SCV increases in size through fusions with the surrounding macropinosomes. Salmonella also induces membrane tubules that emanate from the SCV and lead to SCV shrinkage. Here, we show that these antipodal events are utilized by Salmonella to either establish a vacuolar niche or to be released into the cytosol by SCV rupture. We identify the molecular machinery underlying dynamic SCV growth and shrinkage. In particular, the SNARE proteins SNAP25 and STX4 participate in SCV inflation by fusion with macropinosomes. Thus, host compartment size control emerges as a pathogen strategy for intracellular niche regulation. The early SCV simultaneously grows and shrinks through fusion and tubule formation SCV shrinkage promotes vacuolar rupture and cytosolic release IAMs are enriched in the host SNAREs SNAP25 and STX4, enabling IAM-SCV fusion Promoting SNX1-mediated tubule formation, SopB fosters SCV ruptures

Abstract
Shigella flexneri invades host cells by entering within a bacteria-containing vacuole (BCV). In order to establish its niche in the host cytosol, the bacterium ruptures its BCV. Contacts between S. flexneri BCV and infection-associated macropinosomes (IAMs) formed in situ have been reported to enhance BCV disintegration. The mechanism underlying S. flexneri vacuolar escape remains however obscure. To decipher the molecular mechanism priming the communication between the IAMs and S. flexneri BCV, we performed mass spectrometry-based analysis of the magnetically purified IAMs from S. flexneri-infected cells. While proteins involved in host recycling and exocytic pathways were significantly enriched at the IAMs, we demonstrate more precisely that the S. flexneri type III effector protein IpgD mediates the recruitment of the exocyst to the IAMs through the Rab8/Rab11 pathway. This recruitment results in IAM clustering around S. flexneri BCV. More importantly, we reveal that IAM clustering subsequently facilitates an IAM-mediated unwrapping of the ruptured vacuole membranes from S. flexneri, enabling the naked bacterium to be ready for intercellular spread via actin-based motility. Taken together, our work untangles the molecular cascade of S. flexneri-driven host trafficking subversion at IAMs to develop its cytosolic lifestyle, a crucial step en route for infection progression at cellular and tissue level.

Abstract
Phagocytosis is an essential mechanism for immunity and homeostasis, performed by a subset of cells known as phagocytes. Upon target engulfment, de novo formation of specialized compartments termed phagosomes takes place. Phagosomes then undergo a series of fusion and fission events as they interact with the endolysosomal system and other organelles, in a dynamic process known as phagosome maturation. Because phagocytes play a key role in tissue patrolling and immune surveillance, phagosome maturation is associated with signaling pathways that link phagocytosis to antigen presentation and the development of adaptive immune responses. In addition, and depending on the nature of the cargo, phagosome integrity may be compromised, triggering additional cellular mechanisms including inflammation and autophagy. Upon completion of maturation, phagosomes enter a recently described phase: phagosome resolution, where catabolites from degraded cargo are metabolized, phagosomes are resorbed, and vesicles of phagosomal origin are recycled. Finally, phagocytes return to homeostasis and become ready for a new round of phagocytosis. Altogether, phagosome maturation and resolution encompass a series of dynamic events and organelle crosstalk that can be measured by biochemical, imaging, photoluminescence, cytometric, and immune‐based assays that will be described in this guide.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS Liposomes require careful control of the surface design to ensure colloidal stability in complex matrices and target-specific binding to desired receptor units. Ideally, surface functionalization should be smart and controllable in terms of composition which is seldomly achieved by conventional methods. Therefore, a new strategy (insertion method) was developed and compared to the standard method (modification post-synthesis) using the model receptor biotin. EXPERIMENTS Dipalmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine-biotin (DPPE-biotin) was used in both procedures, lipopeptide-biotin and cholesterol-biotin were tested additionally for insertion into the intact lipid bilayer. The insertion method was optimized regarding incubation time, temperature and vesicle stability. The biotinylated vesicles of both functionalization methods were characterized with respect to their size, ζ-potential and binding functionality. FINDINGS Standard incorporation resulted in large variations in insertion-efficiency, high batch-to-batch differences, and an incorporation limit of 4 mol%. Best results were obtained through effortless insertion of the lipopeptide-biotin at room temperature. The concentration-controlled functionalization of liposomes (up to 10 mol%) could easily be monitored by the ζ-potential, resulted in reliable, quantitative binding to streptavidin and did not affect the analytical properties of the nanomaterial. This offers the possibility for a general modification strategy for lipid-based nanomaterials ideal for assay optimizations or multi-analyte detection.

Abstract
Homeostasis and the complex functions of organisms and cells rely on the sophisticated spatial and temporal regulation of signaling in different intra- and extracellular compartments and via different mediators. We here present a set of fast and easy to use protocols for the target-specific immunomagnetic enrichment of receptor containing endosomes (receptosomes), plasma membranes, lysosomes and exosomes. Isolation of subcellular organelles and exosomes is prerequisite for and will advance their detailed subsequent biochemical and functional analysis. Sequential application of the different subprotocols allows isolation of morphological and functional intact organelles from one pool of cells. The enrichment is based on a selective labelling using receptor ligands or antibodies together with superparamagnetic microbeads followed by separation in a patented matrix-free high-gradient magnetic purification device. This unique magnetic chamber is based on a focusing system outside of the empty separation column, generating an up to 3 T high-gradient magnetic field focused at the wall of the column.

Abstract
Strabismus is a common ocular disorder in children and may result in exterior abnormalities and impaired visual functions. However, the detailed pathogenesis of strabismus unclear. The present study assessed the comprehensive analyses on the roles of RNAs in the development of strabismus. The public datasets of strabismus and the corresponding control tissues were downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO). Reannotations of the dysregulated coding and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and functional enrichments of the differently expressed genes (DEGs) were conducted. A total of 790 DEGs were screened (648 upregulated and 142 downregulated) in the present study. Among the DEGs, a total of 32 differently expressed lncRNAs were detected (14 upregulated and 18 downregulated). When the Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment was considered, it was identified that a total of 143 GO terms (82 for biological process, 31 for cellular component and 30 for molecular function) were identified. Among all the 57 detected Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways, the phagosome pathway, which was labeled as hsa004145, demonstrated the most bioinformatics importance. However, most lncRNAs, except LINC01279 and LOC643733, indicated <3 target mRNAs and were not suitable for advanced bioinformatics analyses. Bioinformatics analyses demonstrated that there was a GO term for each lncRNA (proteinaceous extracellular for LINC01279 and cell surface for LOC643733). In conclusion, a set of coding RNA as well as lncRNAs differentially expressed in strabismus EOM samples were indicated. Notably, the present findings important information for advanced pathogenesis research and biomarkers detection.

Abstract
Intracellular bacteria are responsible for many infectious diseases in humans and have developed diverse mechanisms to interfere with host defense pathways. In particular, intracellular vacuoles are an essential niche used by pathogens to alter cellular and organelle functions, which facilitate replication and survival. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the pathogen causing tuberculosis in humans, is not only able to modulate its intraphagosomal fate by blocking phagosome maturation but has also evolved strategies to successfully prevent clearance by immune cells and to establish long-term survival in the host. Mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics allows the identification and quantitative analysis of complex protein mixtures and is increasingly employed to investigate host–pathogen interactions. Major challenges are limited availability and purity of pathogen-containing compartments as well as the asymmetric ratio in protein abundance when comparing bacterial and host proteins during the infection. Recent advances in purification techniques and MS technology helped to overcome previous difficulties and enable the detailed proteomic characterization of infected host cells and their pathogen-containing vacuoles. Here, we summarize current findings of the proteomic analysis of Mycobacterium-infected host cells and highlight progress that has been made to study the protein composition of mycobacterial vacuoles. Current investigations focus on the pathogenicity during Mtb infection, which will allow to better understand pathogen-induced changes and immunomodulation of infected host cells. Consequently, future research in this field will have important implications on host response, pathogen survival, and persistence, induced adaptive immunity and metabolic changes of immune cells promoting the development of novel host-directed therapies in tuberculosis.

Abstract
Monocytes and macrophages play fundamental roles in defense against microbes, clearance of senescent and dead cells, and immunoregulation. Although blood monocytes are the source of intestinal macrophages in the developed mucosal immune system, blood monocytes and intestinal macrophages from healthy human subjects display distinct phenotypic and functional differences. Blood monocytes can be induced to polarize into M1 and M2 macrophages, whereas intestinal macrophages appear to be terminally differentiated and are unable to undergo such inducible polarization. Nevertheless, in response to local conditions, monocytes differentiated into intestinal macrophages display phenotypic and functional characteristics that enhance their capacity to provide non-inflammatory host defense and participate in local immunoregulation. Using the protocols described here, this unit presents the key phenotypic and functional differences between human blood monocytes and intestinal macrophages, as well as between mouse and human intestinal macrophages. © 2017 by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Abstract
Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 1 (TNF-R1) transmits various intracellular signaling cascades leading to diverse biological outcomes, ranging from proliferation, differentiation, survival to the induction of various forms of cell death (i.e. apoptosis, necrosis, necroptosis). These signaling pathways have to be tightly regulated. Proteolysis is an important regulatory mechanism in TNF-R1 pro-apoptotic as well as anti-apoptotic/pro-inflammatory signaling. Some key players in these signaling cascades are known (mainly the caspase-family of proteases and a previously unrecognized "lysosomal death pathway" involving cathepsins), however the interaction of proteases in the regulation of TNF signaling is still enigmatic. Ubiquitination of proteins, both non-degradative degradative, which either results in proteolytic degradation of target substrates or regulates their biological function, represents another layer of regulation in this signaling cascade. We and others found out that the differences in signal quality depend on the localization of the receptors. Plasma membrane resident receptors activate survival signals, while endocytosed receptors can induce cell death. In this article we will review the role of ubiquitination and proteolysis in these diverse events focusing on our own contributions to the lysosomal apoptotic pathway linked to the subcellular compartmentalization of TNF-R1. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled: Proteolysis as a Regulatory Event in Pathophysiology edited by Stefan Rose-John.

Abstract
To explore the potential roles of miRNAs in controlling the survival of mycobacteria in macrophages, miR-17-5p in the regulation of Bacillus Calmette-Guérin(BCG)growth in the macrophage RAW264.7 cells was interrogated. Our results reveal that an infection of BCG shows a time-dependent up-regulation of miR-17-5p in RAW264.7 cells in early phase; importantly, excessive expression of miR-17-5p in these cells exhibits an increased propagation of intracellular BCG. Mechanistically, the Unc-51 like autophagy activating kinase 1 (ULK1), an initial molecular of autophagy are identified as novel target of miR-17-5p, the miR-17-5p is capable of targeting down-regulating the expression of ULK1 protein. In addition, an overexpression of miR-17-5p in RAW264.7 cells is correlated with repression of ULK1 and the autophagosome related proteins LC3I/II. These results imply that miR-17-5p may be able to arrest the maturation of mycobacterial phagosomes in part by targeting ULK1, subsequently reduces the ability of host cells to kill intracellular BCG.

Abstract
Phagocytosis is a critical biological activity through which the host can protect itself from infectious and non-infectious environmental particles and remove unwanted host cells in order to maintain tissue homeostasis. Phagocytosis is an ancient, conserved process that is apparent in all multicellular organisms. The process of phagocytosis requires the recognition of ligands on particles by specific receptors expressed by the phagocyte that promote internalization via reorganization of cytoskeletal elements and directed formation of the phagosome. Subsequent phagosome-lysosome fusion delivers the contents for destruction and recycling in the acidic compartment. Significantly, receptor engagement and uptake can also trigger intracellular signaling pathways that initiate appropriate innate immune and pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory responses dependent upon the nature of the particle. The important benefits of phagocytosis to host survival are exemplified by the detrimental effects to health that occur when phagocytic efficiency is diminished. In an overview, we discuss the different experimental approaches or options that can be considered when investigating and determining the characteristics and quantification of phagocytic activity. These criteria will include choice of phagocytic cell type, selection, and method of labeling of particle for monitoring internalization, targeting of particles to specific receptors, and quantification of ingestion either at the single cell or at the population level. We provide two detailed examples of phagocytosis assays.
