Résumé
Phagocytosis is an essential element of the immune response, assuring the elimination of pathogens, cellular debris, and apoptotic and tumoral cells. Activation of phagocytosis by the FcγR stimulates phospholipase D (PLD) activity and triggers the production of phosphatidic acid (PA) at the plasma membrane of macrophages, but the regulatory mechanisms involved are still not clearly understood. In this study, we examined the role of the small GTPase Arf6 in the activation of the PLD isoforms during FcγR-mediated phagocytosis. In RAW 264.7 macrophage cells, expressed Arf6-GFP partially colocalized with PLD1-hemagglutinin on intracellular membrane-bound vesicles and with PLD2-hemagglutinin at the plasma membrane. Both PLD isoforms were found to interact with Arf6 during FcγR-mediated phagocytosis as seen by immunoprecipitation experiments. In macrophages stimulated for phagocytosis, Arf6 was observed to be associated with nascent phagosomes. RNA interference knockdown of Arf6 reduced the amount of active Arf6 associated with phagosomes, revealed by the MT2-GFP probe that specifically binds to Arf6-GTP. Arf6 silencing concomitantly decreased PLD activity as well as the levels of PA found on phagosomes and phagocytic sites as shown with the PA probe Spo20p-GFP. Altogether, our results indicate that Arf6 is involved in the regulation of PLD activity and PA synthesis required for efficient phagocytosis.
