Docetaxel enhances lysosomal function through TFEB activation.

ABSTRACT: Docetaxel is an effective and commonly used chemotherapeutic drug for cancer. Autophagy has been reported to be involved in the anticancer mechanism of docetaxel. However, the effect of docetaxel on lysosomal function remains elusive. In the present study, we first found that docetaxel treatment enhances autophagic flux in different cancer cells. Moreover, docetaxel treatment activates lysosomal function and promotes its fusion with autophagosome. Second, doctaxel treatment activates TFEB (transcription factor EB), a key nuclear transcription factor in control of lysosome biogenesis and function. We found that docetaxel promotes TFEB nuclear translocation and increases its transcriptional activity while knockdown of TFEB impairs lysosomal activation by docetaxel. Thirdly, TFEB activation by docetaxel is mediated by ROS (reactive oxygen species) generation and scavenging of ROS suppresses TFEB activity and lysosomal function in docetaxel-treated cells. Finally, inhibition of lysosomal function leads to increased docetaxel-induced cell death, suggesting that lysosomal activation protects against docetaxel-mediated apoptosis. Taken together, our results provide novel insights into the regulatory mechanisms of docetaxel on lysosomes, which could facilitate the development of novel potential cancer therapeutic agents via lysosomal inhibition.

Project description:Macroautophagy/autophagy, a defense mechanism against aberrant stresses, in neurons counteracts aggregate-prone misfolded protein toxicity. Autophagy induction might be beneficial in neurodegenerative diseases (NDs). The natural compound trehalose promotes autophagy via TFEB (transcription factor EB), ameliorating disease phenotype in multiple ND models, but its mechanism is still obscure. We demonstrated that trehalose regulates autophagy by inducing rapid and transient lysosomal enlargement and membrane permeabilization (LMP). This effect correlated with the calcium-dependent phosphatase PPP3/calcineurin activation, TFEB dephosphorylation and nuclear translocation. Trehalose upregulated genes for the TFEB target and regulator Ppargc1a, lysosomal hydrolases and membrane proteins (Ctsb, Gla, Lamp2a, Mcoln1, Tpp1) and several autophagy-related components (Becn1, Atg10, Atg12, Sqstm1/p62, Map1lc3b, Hspb8 and Bag3) mostly in a PPP3- and TFEB-dependent manner. TFEB silencing counteracted the trehalose pro-degradative activity on misfolded protein causative of motoneuron diseases. Similar effects were exerted by trehalase-resistant trehalose analogs, melibiose and lactulose. Thus, limited lysosomal damage might induce autophagy, perhaps as a compensatory mechanism, a process that is beneficial to counteract neurodegeneration.
