Autophagy is an important component of the immune response. However, the functions of autophagy in human diseases are much less understood. We studied biological consequences of autophagy deficiency in mice lacking the essential autophagy genes Atg7 or Atg5 in myeloid cells. Surprisingly, these mice presented with spontaneous sterile lung inflammation, characterized by marked recruitment of inflammatory cells, submucosal thickening, goblet cell metaplasia and increased collagen content. Lung inflammation was associated with increase in several pro-inflammatory cytokines in the bronchoalveolar lavage and in serum. This inflammation was largely driven by interleukin 18 as a result of constitutive inflammasome activation. Following intraperitoneal LPS injection, autophagy deficient mice had higher levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in lungs and in serum, as well as increased mortality than control mice. Intranasal bleomycin challenge exacerbated lung inflammation in autophagy deficient mice and produced more severe fibrotic changes than in control mice. These results uncover a new and important role for autophagy as negative regulator of lung inflammation.
