Revisiting the role of calcium in phagosome formation and maturation.
Journal of Leukocyte Biology 2019 May 16
Like other membrane receptor-mediated responses, execution of phagocytosis requires the transduction of signals to cytoplasmic effectors. Signaling in this case is particularly complex as the process involves not only the formation of phagosomes but also their subsequent maturation and resolution. Transient increases in cytosolic calcium, which mediate a variety of other transduction pathways, also feature prominently in phagocytosis. However, despite intensive study over the course of nearly 30 years, the occurrence, source, and functional relevance of such calcium bursts remain the subject of debate. Here, we have attempted to consolidate the information that was reviewed in the past with more recent studies in an effort to shed some light on the existing controversies.
