Quantitative trait locus mapping identifies the Gpnmb gene as a modifier of mouse macrophage lysosome function
Abstract We have previously shown that the DBA/2J versus AKR/J mouse strain is associated with decreased autophagy-mediated lysosomal hydrolysis of cholesterol esters. Our objective was to determine differences in lysosome function in AKR/J and DBA/2J macrophages, and identify the responsible genes....

Abstract We have previously shown that the DBA/2J versus AKR/J mouse strain is associated with decreased autophagy-mediated lysosomal hydrolysis of cholesterol esters. Our objective was to determine differences in lysosome function in AKR/J and DBA/2J macrophages, and identify the responsible genes. Using a novel dual-labeled indicator of lysosome function, DBA/2J versus AKR/J bone marrow derived macrophages had significantly decreased lysosome function. We performed quantitative trait loci mapping of lysosome function in bone marrow macrophages from an AKR/J × DBA/2J strain intercross. Four distinct lysosome function loci were identified, which we named macrophage lysosome function modifier (Mlfm) Mlfm1 through Mlfm4. The strongest locus Mlfm1 harbors the Gpnmb gene, which has been shown to recruit autophagy protein light chain 3 to autophagosomes for lysosome fusion. The parental DBA/2J strain has a nonsense variant in Gpnmb. siRNA knockdown of Gpnmb in AKR/J macrophages decreased lysosome function, and Gpnmb deletion through CRISP/Cas9 editing in RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages also demonstrated a similar result.
