Efferocytosis requires periphagosomal Ca2+-signaling and TRPM7-mediated electrical activity

Abstract: Efficient clearance of apoptotic cells by phagocytosis, also known as efferocytosis, is fundamental to developmental biology, organ physiology, and immunology. Macrophages use multiple mechanisms to detect and engulf apoptotic cells, but the signaling pathways that regulate the digestion of the apoptotic cell cargo, such as the dynamic Ca2+ signals, are poorly understood. Using an siRNA screen, we identify TRPM7 as a Ca2+-conducting ion channel essential for phagosome maturation during efferocytosis. Trpm7-tar… Show more

“…TRPM7 patch-clamp recording is mostly limited to the plasma membrane, which might not represent the entire functional activity of this chanzyme as it is mostly localized to intracellular vesicles ( 23 , 24 ). As such, we used our reporter system to characterize potential regulators of TRPM7 overall function.…”

“…It is unclear whether magnesium can be similarly regulated in mammals. Still, in mammalian cells, the CNNMs localized to the plasma membrane and intracellular vesicles similarly to TRPM7 and the PRLs ( 15 , 23 , 24 , 40 , 55 ), suggesting that the interaction might not only be at the plasma membrane. Interestingly, our magnesium reporter described herein can also detect loss of mitochondrial magnesium, indicating that the signal obtained in our assay is not only representative of magnesium flux derived from the extracellular environment.…”

“…In recent years, several groups have reported the importance of phagosomal acidification and cargo degradation during efferocytosis [ 28 , 32 ], highlighting the need to successfully measure these processes. One study circumvented the limitations of conventional efferocytosis techniques by combining the pHrodo approach with GFP-expressing apoptotic cells, and employing the ratio of pHrodo to GFP fluorescence to measure acidification [ 28 ]. However, the signal of a fluorescent dye and an intracellular fluorophore can vary greatly.…”
