Zusammenfassung:Microglial phagocytosis of myelin debris is a crucial process for promoting myelin regeneration in conditions such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Vacuolar-ATPase B2 (V-ATPase B2) has been implicated in various cellular processes, but its role in microglial phagocytosis and its potential impact on MS-related responses remain unclear. In this study, we employed BV-2 murine microglial cells to investigate the influence of V-ATPase B2 on the phagocytosis of myelin debris by microglia. The results revealed that V-ATPase B2 expression increased in response to myelin debris exposure. Overexpression of V-ATPase B2 significantly enhanced BV-2 phagocytosis of myelin debris. Additionally, V-ATPase B2 overexpression shifted microglial polarization towards an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype, coupled with decreased lysosomal pH and enhanced lysosome degradation capacity. Moreover, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress inhibitor, 4-PBA, reversed the effects of V-ATPase B2 silencing on ER stress, M2 polarization, and lysosomal degradation of BV-2 cells. The MAPK pathway was inhibited upon V-ATPase B2 overexpression, contributing to heightened myelin debris clearance by BV-2 cells. Notably, MAPK pathway inhibition partially attenuated the inhibitory effects of V-ATPase B2 knockdown on myelin debris clearance. In conclusion, our findings reveal a pivotal role for V-ATPase B2 in promoting microglial phagocytosis of myelin debris by regulating microglial polarization and lysosomal function via the MAPK signaling pathway, suggesting that targeting V-ATPase B2 may hold therapeutic potential for enhancing myelin debris clearance and modulating microglial responses in MS and related neuroinflammatory disorders. •V-ATPase B2 promotes phagocytosis of myelin debris by BV-2 cells•V-ATPase B2 promotes M2 polarization of BV-2 microglia•V-ATPase B2 promotes lysosomal degradation•V-ATPase B2 switches M1/M2 polarization and facilitates lysosomal degradation by regulating endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in BV-2 cells•V-ATPase B2 inhibits the MAPK signaling pathway in BV-2 cells•MAPK inactivation abates the inhibitory effects of V-ATPase B2 knockdown on the clearance of myelin debris by BV-2 cells.
