Defects in dying cell clearance are postulated to underlie the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Mice lacking molecules associated with dying cell clearance develop SLE-like disease, and phagocytes from SLE patients often display defective clearance and increased inflammatory cytokine production when exposed to dying cells in vitro. Previously, we and others described a form of noncanonical autophagy called “LC3-associated phagocytosis” (LAP), wherein phagosomes containing engulfed particles, including dying cells, recruit elements of the autophagy pathway to facilitate phagosome maturation and digestion of cargo. Genome-wide association studies have identified polymorphisms in atg5 and possibly atg7, involved in both canonical autophagy and LAP, as predisposition markers for SLE. Here, we describe the consequences of defective LAP in vivo. Mice lacking any of several components of the LAP pathway display elevated serum inflammatory cytokines, autoantibodies, glomerular immune complex deposition, and evidence of kidney damage. Dying cells, injected into LAP-deficient animals, are engulfed but not efficiently degraded, and trigger acute elevation of pro-inflammatory cytokines but not the anti-inflammatory interleukin (IL)-10. Repeated injection of dying cells into LAP-deficient, but not LAP-sufficient animals accelerated SLE-like disease, including increased serum levels of autoantibodies. In contrast, animals deficient for genes required for canonical autophagy but not LAP do not display defective dead cell clearance, inflammatory cytokine production, or SLE-like disease, and like wild-type animals, produce IL-10 in response to dying cells. Therefore, defects in LAP, rather than canonical autophagy, can cause SLE-like phenomena, and may contribute to the pathogenesis of SLE.
