Light microscopic studies of phagocytosis showed that Salmonella typhimurium entered mouse macrophages enclosed in spacious phagosomes (SP). Viewed by time-lapse video microscopy, bone marrow-derived macrophages exposed to S. typhimurium displayed generalized plasma membrane ruffling and macropinocytosis. Phagosomes containing Salmonella were morphologically indistinguishable from macropinosomes. SP formation was observed after several methods of bacterial opsonization, although bacteria opsonized with specific IgG appeared initially in small phagosomes that later enlarged. In contrast to macropinosomes induced by growth factors, which shrink completely within 15 min, SP persisted in the cytoplasm, enlarging often by fusion with macropinosomes or other SP. A Salmonella strain containing a constitutive mutation in the phoP virulence regulatory locus (PhoPc) induced significantly fewer SP. Similar to Yersinia enterocolitica, PhoPc bacteria entered macrophages in close-fitting phagosomes, consistent with that expected for conventional receptor-mediated phagocytosis. These results suggest that formation of SP contributes to Salmonella survival and virulence.

Studies of Fc-mediated phagocytosis by mouse macrophages identified a contractile activity at the distal margins of forming phagosomes. Time-lapse video microscopic analysis of macrophages containing rhodamine-labeled actin and fluorescein dextran showed that actin was concentrated at the distal margins of closing phagosomes. Phagocytosis-related contractile activities were observed when one IgG-opsonized erythrocyte was engaged by two macrophages. Both cells extended pseudopodia until they met midway around the erythrocyte. It was then constricted and pulled into two phagosomes, which remained interconnected by a string of erythrocyte membrane. Butanedione monoxime, an uncompetitive inhibitor of class II and perhaps other myosins, and wortmannin and LY294002, inhibitors of phosphoinositide 3-kinase, prevented the constrictions without inhibiting the initial pseudopod extension. Immunofluorescence microscopy showed the presence of myosins IC, II, V and IXb in phagosomes. Of these, only myosin IC was concentrated around the strings connecting shared erythrocytes, suggesting that myosin IC mediates the purse-string-like contraction that closes phagosomes. The sequential processes of pseudopod extension and contraction can explain how macropinosomes and spacious phagosomes form without guidance from a particle surface.
