PG - 331-42 LID - S1074-7613(15)00279-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.immuni.2015.07.012 [doi] AB - Natural killer (NK) cells are innate lymphocytes that possess traits of adaptive immunity, such as clonal expansion, contraction, and generation of long-lived "memory" cells, processes poorly understood at the molecular level. Here, we found that as proliferating NK cells accumulated dysfunctional mitochondria during viral infection, a protective mitophagy pathway was induced during the contraction phase to promote their survival in a reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent manner. Inhibition of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) or activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) during the contraction-to-memory phase transition of the antiviral response increased autophagic activity and enhanced memory NK cell numbers through an Atg3-dependent mechanism. Furthermore, we demonstrated a temporally regulated role for mitophagy-inducing proteins BCL2/adenovirus E1B 19-kDa interacting protein 3 (BNIP3) and BNIP3-like (BNIP3L) in the generation of robust NK cell memory. Thus, our study reveals the functional importance of mitophagy during the dynamic response of these cytolytic innate lymphocytes. CI - Copyright (c) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
