Tuberculosis (TB) remains a leading killer worldwide among infectious diseases
and the effective control of TB is still challenging. Autophagy is an
intracellular self-digestion process which has been increasingly recognized as a
major host immune defense mechanism against intracellular microorganisms like
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and serves as a key negative regulator of
inflammation. Clinically, chronic inflammation surrounding Mtb can persist for
decades leading to lung injury that can remain even after successful treatment.
Adjunct host-directed therapy (HDT) based on both antimycobacterial and
anti-inflammatory interventions could be exploited to improve treatment efficacy
and outcome. Autophagy occurring in the host macrophages represents a logical
host target. Here, we show that herbal medicine, baicalin, could induce autophagy
in macrophage cell line Raw264.7 and caused increased killing of intracellular
Mtb. Further, baicalin inhibited Mtb-induced NLRP3 inflammasome activation and
subsequent inflammasome-derived IL-1?. To investigate the molecular mechanisms of
baicalin, the signaling pathways associated with autophagy were examined. Results
indicated that baicalin decreased the levels of phosphorylated protein kinase B
(p-Akt) and phosphorylated mammalian target of rapamycin (p-mTOR) at Ser473 and
Ser2448, respectively, but did not alter the phosphorylation of p38, JNK, or ERK
both in Raw264.7 and primary peritoneal macrophages. Moreover, baicalin exerted
an obvious inhibitory effect on nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-?B) activity. Finally,
immunofluorescence studies demonstrated that baicalin promoted the
co-localization of inflammasome with autophagosome may serve as the underlying
mechanism of autophagic degradative effect on reducing inflammasome activation.
Together, baicalin definitely induces the activation of autophagy on the
Mtb-infected macrophages through PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway instead of MAPK pathway.
Furthermore, baicalin inhibited the PI3K/Akt/NF-?B signal pathway, and both
autophagy induction and NF-?B inhibition contribute to limiting the NLRP3
inflammasome as well as subsequent production of pro-inflammatory cytokine IL-1?.
Based on these results, we conclude that baicalin is a promising
antimycobacterial and anti-inflammatory agent which can be a novel candidate for
the development of new adjunct drugs targeting HDT for possible improved
treatment.
