Project description:The proteolytic arm of the protein homeostasis network is maintained by both the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) and autophagy. A well-balanced crosstalk between the two catabolic pathways ensures energy-efficient maintenance of cellular function. Our current understanding of the crosstalk between the UPS and autophagy is centered around substrate ubiquitination. Herein we report an additional method of crosstalk involving ubiquitin-independent 20S proteasome regulation of autophagosome-lysosome fusion. We found that enhancement of 20S proteasome activity increased the degradation of the disordered soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor activating protein receptor proteins, synaptosomal-associated protein 29 (SNAP29), and syntaxin 17 (STX17), but not vesicle-associated membrane protein 8. This resulted in a reduction of autophagosome-lysosome fusion, which was ameliorated upon overexpression of both SNAP29 and STX17. In all, we herein present a mechanism of crosstalk between the proteasome and autophagy pathway that is regulated by ubiquitin-independent 20S proteasome-mediated degradation of SNAP29 and STX17.

Project description:Miz1 is a zinc finger protein that regulates expression of cell cycle inhibitors as part of a complex with Myc. Cell cycle-independent functions of Miz1 are poorly understood. Here, we use a Nestin-Cre transgene to delete an essential domain of Miz1 in the central nervous system (Miz1M-NM-^TPOZNes). Miz1M-NM-^TPOZNes mice display cerebellar neurodegeneration characterized by the progressive loss of Purkinje cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing and biochemical analyses show that Miz1 activates transcription upon binding to a non-palindromic sequence present in core promoters. Target genes of Miz1 encode regulators of autophagy and proteins involved in vesicular transport that are required for autophagy. Miz1M-NM-^TPOZ neuronal progenitors and fibroblasts show reduced autophagic flux. Consistently, polyubiquitinated proteins and p62/Sqtm1 accumulate in the cerebella of Miz1M-NM-^TPOZNes mice, characteristic features of defective autophagy. Our data suggest that Miz1 may link cell growth and ribosome biogenesis to the transcriptional regulation of vesicular transport and autophagy.

Project description:Palmitate (PA) exposure induces stress conditions featuring ROS accumulation and upregulation of p62 expression, resulting in autophagic flux blockage and cell apoptosis. Sulfuretin (Sul) is a natural product isolated from Rhus verniciflua Stokes; the cytoprotective effect of Sul on human hepatic L02 cells and mouse primary hepatocytes under PA-induced stress conditions was investigated in this study. Sul induced mitophagy by activation of p-TBK1 and LC3 and produced a concomitant decline in p62 expression. Autophagosome formation and mitophagy were assessed by the sensitive dual fluorescence reporter mCherry-EGFP-LC3B, and mitochondrial fragmentation was analyzed using MitoTracker Deep Red FM. A preliminary structure-activity relationship (SAR) for Sul was also investigated, and the phenolic hydroxyl group was found to be pivotal for maintaining the cytoprotective bioactivity of Sul. Furthermore, experiments using flow cytometry and western blots revealed that Sul reversed the cytotoxic effect stimulated by the autophagy inhibitors 3-methyladenine (3-MA) and chloroquine (CQ), and its cytoprotective effect was almost eliminated when the autophagy-related 5 (Atg5) gene was knocked down. These studies suggest that, in addition to its antioxidative effects, Sul stimulates mitophagy and restores impaired autophagic flux, thus protecting hepatic cells from apoptosis, and that Sul has potential future medical applications for hepatoprotection.

Project description:Doxorubicin (DOX) cardiotoxicity is an important factor of heart failure. The only clinically approved drug is dexrazoxane, while its side effect of secondary malignancies severely limited its application. It is urgent to find other alternative efficacious molecular for these chemotherapy patients. Colchicine is a safe and well tolerated anti-inflammation drug which also functions in attenuating the reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. High dose of colchicine was reported block the autophagosome-lysosome fusion in cancer cells due to its destabilization effect to the microtubule system, while how colchicine affects the autophagic flux in cardiomyocytes is largely unknown. Recent years low dose of colchicine administration was reported helpful to the patients with pericarditis, postprocedural atrial fibrillation and coronary artery disease, most of the research attributed it to its anti-inflammation effect. Whether the autophagic flux regulated by colchicine also benefits to DOX induced heart failure remains unclear. Doxorubicin (DOX) administration was used to establish heart failure models in vivo and in vitro. Results showed that DOX blocked the autophagic vacuoles degradation, leading to damaged mitochondria and ROS accumulation. Heart failure characteristics were obviously improved after low dose of colchicine administration. Mechanistically, low dose of colchicine promoted the autolysosome degradation, cleared the damaged mitochondria, and ROS accumulation induced by the DOX and as a result attenuated DOX cardiotoxicity.

Project description:Autophagic flux is an important process during autophagy maturation in coronary arterial myocytes (CAMs). Here, we defined the role and molecular mechanism of the motor protein dynein in the regulation of autophagic flux in CAMs. In mouse CAMs, dynein protein is abundantly expressed. Pharmacological or genetic inhibition of dynein activity dramatically enhanced 7-ketocholesterol (7-Ket)-induced expression of the autophagic marker LC3B and increased the cellular levels of p62, a selective substrate for autophagy. Inhibition of dynein activity increased 7-Ket-induced formation of autophagosomes (APs), but reduced the number of autophagolysosomes (APLs) in CAMs. Furthermore, 7-Ket increased the fusion of APs with lysosomes and the velocity of APs movement in mouse CAMs, which was abolished when the dynein activity in these cells was inhibited. Interestingly, 7-Ket increased lysosomal Ca(2+) release and stimulated dynein ATPase activity, both of which were abolished by NAADP antagonists, NED-19 and PPADS. Taken together, our data suggest that NAADP-mediated Ca(2+) release plays a crucial role in regulating dynein activity, which mediates APs trafficking and fusion with lysosomes to form APLs thus regulating autophagic flux in CAMs under atherogenic stimulation.

Project description:Although numerous techniques have been developed to monitor autophagy and to probe its cellular functions, these methods cannot evaluate in sufficient detail the autophagy process, and suffer limitations from complex experimental setups and/or systematic errors. Here we developed a method to image, contextually, the number and pH of autophagic intermediates by using the probe mRFP-GFP-LC3B as a ratiometric pH sensor. This information is expressed functionally by AIPD, the pH distribution of the number of autophagic intermediates per cell. AIPD analysis reveals how intermediates are characterized by a continuous pH distribution, in the range 4.5-6.5, and therefore can be described by a more complex set of states rather than the usual biphasic one (autophagosomes and autolysosomes). AIPD shape and amplitude are sensitive to alterations in the autophagy pathway induced by drugs or environmental states, and allow a quantitative estimation of autophagic flux by retrieving the concentrations of autophagic intermediates.

Project description:We have developed two types of fluorescent probes, DALGreen and DAPGreen, for monitoring autophagy, that exhibit fluorescence upon being incorporated into autophagosomes. DALGreen enhances its fluorescence at acidic pH, which is favorable for monitoring late-phase autophagy, whereas DAPGreen remains fluorescent with almost constant brightness during the autophagic process. With these probes that stain autophagosomes as they are being formed, the real-time change of autophagic phenomena of live cells may be traced, which is an advantage over conventional approaches with small molecules that stain mature autophagosomes. The use of both dyes allows monitoring of the membrane dynamics of autophagy in any type of cell without the need for genetic engineering, and therefore, will be useful as a tool to study autophagic phenomena.
