Homeostatic Control of Innate Lung Inflammation by Vici Syndrome Gene Epg5 and Additional Autophagy Genes Promotes Influenza Pathogenesis

Abstract: SUMMARY Mutations in the autophagy gene EPG5 are linked to the multisystem human disease Vici syndrome, which is characterized in part by pulmonary abnormalities, including recurrent infections. We found that Epg5-deficient mice exhibited elevated baseline innate immune cellular and cytokine-based lung inflammation and were resistant to lethal influenza virus infection. Lung transcriptomics, bone marrow transplantation experiments, and analysis of cellular cytokine expression indicated that Epg5 plays a role i… Show more

“…We believe that this seemingly contradictory finding may reflect the function of certain autophagy genes to inhibit inflammation, as seen in tissue-specific knock-out animal models of autophagy genes resulting in wide spread tissue over-inflammation [27,28]. In fact, in in vivo cancer models, autophagy inhibition has been demonstrated to favor immunosuppression, leading to increased tumor aggressiveness [29].…”
