It involves the recognition of parti- debris and lipoprotein aggregates via phagocytosis. Using proteo- cles by a variety of cell surface receptors, followed by cargo process- mics, we investigated how alternative activation, driven by IL-4, ing and delivery to lysosomes via phagosome–lysosome fusion, modulated the phagosomal proteome to control macrophage process known as phagosome maturation. This leads to gradual function. Our data indicate that alternative activation enhances acidification of the phagosomal lumen and acquisition of digestive homeostatic functions such as proteolysis, lipolysis and nutrient enzymes required for the degradation of phagosomal cargo.

Intriguingly, we identified the enhanced recruitment of fore, phagocytosis is not only responsible for elimination of bacterial the TAK1/MKK7/JNK signalling complex to phagosomes of IL-4-acti- pathogens, but also responsible for the clearance of apoptotic cells, vated macrophages. The recruitment of this signalling complex was cell debris and senescence cells and orchestrates the subsequent mediated through K63 polyubiquitylation of the macrophage scav- immune response (Rothlin et al, 2007; Murray & Wynn, 2011; enger receptor 1 (MSR1).

Central to this process is phagosome function. macrophages leads to enhanced JNK activation, thereby promoting If uncontrolled, the inappropriate clearance of apoptotic bodies can a phenotypic switch from an anti-inflammatory to a pro-inflamma- give rise to autoimmune diseases, atherosclerosis and cancer, while tory state, which was abolished upon MSR1 deletion or JNK inhibi- failure to ingest or kill pathogens can result in deadly infections tion.
