摘要

Efferocytosis is crucial for the clearance of apoptotic cells (ACs) following acute ischemic stroke (AIS), however, its mechanism remains unclear. This study reveals that chemokine-like factor 1 (CKLF1) disrupts efferocytosis by promoting AC finding and internalization while impairing AC degradation in microglia. CKLF1 deficiency reduced the proportion of ACs and lowered levels of damage-associated molecular patterns. Mechanistically, CKLF1 binds to phosphatidylserine on apoptotic neurons/blebs, recruiting microglia to the ischemic penumbra via a C-C chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4)-dependent pathway. Apoptotic blebs with CKLF1 are engulfed into microglia, triggering the rapid production of interleukin-6 (IL6). IL6 enhances AC internalization through the signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)-vav guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1 (VAV1)-ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (RAC1) signaling cascade but simultaneously inhibits transcription factor EB (TFEB) nuclear translocation, leading to lysosomal dysfunction. This effect results in AC accumulation, compromising microglial efferocytosis efficiency and integrity. These findings uncover a novel regulatory axis induced by CKLF1, emphasizing the complex balance between AC internalization and degradation in microglial efferocytosis.
