Аннотация
Sexual dimorphism affects various biological functions, including immune responses. However, the mechanisms by which sex alters immunity remain largely unknown. Using Caenorhabditis elegans as a model species, we showed that males exhibit enhanced immunity against various pathogenic bacteria through the upregulation of HLH-30 (Helix Loop Helix 30/TFEB (transcription factor EB)), a transcription factor crucial for macroautophagy/autophagy. Compared with hermaphroditic C. elegans, males displayed increased activity of HLH-30/TFEB, which contributed to enhanced antibacterial immunity. atg-2 (AuTophaGy (yeast Atg homolog) 2) upregulated by HLH-30/TFEB mediated increased immunity in male C. elegans. Thus, the males appear to be equipped with enhanced HLH-30/TFEB-mediated autophagy, which increases pathogen resistance, and this may functionally prolong mate-searching ability with reduced risk of infection.Abbreviations: atg-2: AuTophaGy (yeast Atg homolog) 2; FUDR: 5-fluoro-2'-deoxyuridine; GSEA: gene set enrichment analysis; HLH-30: Helix Loop Helix 30; LC3: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3; NGM: nematode growth media; RNA-seq: RNA sequencing; SEM: standard error of the mean; TFEB: transcription factor EB; WT: wild-type.
