The study revealed that chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) in mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is inhibited in response to proinflammatory cytokines, affecting their immunosuppressive function. Inhibition of CMA led to enhanced expression of CXCL10 and iNOS in MSCs, promoting recruitment of inflammatory cells and subsequent inhibition of T cell proliferation through NF-kappa B and STAT1 activation. Additionally, AKT activation induced by IFN-gamma plus TNF-alpha played a role in CMA inhibition in MSCs.
Macroautophagy has been implicated in modulating the therapeutic function of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs). However, the biological function of chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA) in MSCs remains elusive. Here, we found that CMA was inhibited in MSCs in response to the proinflammatory cytokines interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). In addition, suppression of CMA by knocking down the CMA-related lysosomal receptor lysosomal-associated membrane protein 2 (LAMP-2A) in MSCs significantly enhanced the immunosuppressive effect of MSCs on T cell proliferation, and as expected, LAMP-2A overexpression in MSCs exerted the opposite effect on T cell proliferation. This effect of CMA on the immunosuppressive function of MSCs was attributed to its negative regulation of the expression of chemokine C-X-C motif ligand 10 (CXCL10), which recruits inflammatory cells, especially T cells, to MSCs, and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), which leads to the subsequent inhibition of T cell proliferation via nitric oxide (NO). Mechanistically, CMA inhibition dramatically promoted IFN-gamma plus TNF-alpha-induced activation of NF-kappa B and STAT1, leading to the enhanced expression of CXCL10 and iNOS in MSCs. Furthermore, we found that IFN-gamma plus TNF-alpha-induced AKT activation contributed to CMA inhibition in MSCs. More interestingly, CMA-deficient MSCs exhibited improved therapeutic efficacy in inflammatory liver injury. Taken together, our findings established CMA inhibition as a critical contributor to the immunosuppressive function of MSCs induced by inflammatory cytokines and highlighted a previously unknown function of CMA.
