Intestinal Alkaline Phosphatase Exerts Anti-Inflammatory Effects Against Lipopolysaccharide by Inducing Autophagy.

ABSTRACT: Intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) regulates bicarbonate secretion, detoxifies lipopolysaccharide (LPS), regulates gut microbes, and dephosphorylates proinflammatory nucleotides. IAP also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects in a Toll-like Receptor-4 (TLR-4) dependent manner. However, it is not known whether IAP induces autophagy. We tested the hypothesis that IAP may induce autophagy which may mediate the anti-inflammatory effects of IAP. We found that exogenous IAP induced autophagy in intestinal epithelial cells and in macrophages. TLR4INC34 (C34), a TLR4 signaling inhibitor, suppressed IAP-induced autophagy. IAP also inhibited LPS-induced IL-1β mRNA expression and activation of NF-κB. When autophagy was blocked by 3-methyladenine (3MA) or by Atg5 siRNA, IAP failed to block LPS-mediate
