A Drosophila toolkit for HA-tagged proteins unveils a block in autophagy flux in the last instar larval fat body

ABSTRACT: The lysosomal function is down-regulated in the white prepupal fat body, resulting in the enlargement of lysosomes in the tissue. The enlargement is blocked by the forced activation of lysosomes by the overexpression of mitf, a sole homolog of the MiTF/TFE family transcription factors. Thus, it is possible to speculate that mitf participates in the down-regulation of lysosomes in the fat body. To test this possibility, we performed a comparative mRNA-seq of (1) wild-type white prepupal fat body, (2) mitf overexpressed white prepupal fat body, and (3) wild-type third instar larval fat body. First, a comparison of (1) and (2) showed that the overexpression of mitf upregulated transcription of most of the lysosome-related genes in the fat body, consistent with previous studies. Next, a comparison of (1) and (3) indicated that the transcription level of several lysosome-related genes was decreased in (1) compared to (3). However, most of the genes regulated by Mitf were not transcriptionally affected. These results suggest that mitf is dispensable for the downregulation of lysosomes in the white prepupal fat body.

Feed-forward Cysteine Regulation Maintains Melanoma Differentiation State and Limits Metastatic Spread

Project description:The inherent ability of melanoma cells to alter the differentiation-associated transcriptional repertoire to evade treatment and facilitate metastatic spread is well accepted and has been termed phenotypic switching. However, how these facets of cellular behavior are controlled remains largely elusive. Here we show that cysteine availability, whether from lysosomes (CTNS-dependent) or exogenously derived (SLC7A11-dependent or as N-acetylcysteine), controls melanoma differentiation-associated pathways by acting on the melanocyte master regulator MITF. Functional data indicate that low cysteine availability reduces MITF levels and impairs lysosome functions, which affects tumor ferroptosis sensitivity but improves metastatic spread in vivo. Mechanistically, cysteine-restrictive conditions reduce acetyl-CoA levels to decrease p300-mediated H3K27 acetylation at the melanocyte-restricted MITF promoter, thus forming a cysteine feed-forward regulation that controls MITF levels and downstream lysosome functions. These findings collectively suggest that cysteine homeostasis governs melanoma differentiation by maintaining MITF levels and lysosome functions, which protect against ferroptosis and limit metastatic spread.

Peripheral positioning of lysosomes supports melanoma aggressiveness

Project description:Emerging evidences suggest that both function and position of organelles are pivotal for tumor cell dissemination. Among them, lysosomes stand out as they integrate metabolic sensing with gene regulation and secretion of proteases. Yet, how lysosomes function is linked to their position and thereby control metastatic progression remains elusive. Here, we analyzed lysosome subcellular distribution in micropatterned patient-derived melanoma cells and found that lysosome spreading scales with their aggressiveness. Peripheral lysosomes promote invadopodia-based matrix degradation and invasion of melanoma cells which is directly linked to their lysosomal and cell transcriptional programs. When controlling lysosomal positioning using chemo-genetical heterodimerization in melanoma cells, we demonstrated that perinuclear clustering impairs lysosomal secretion, matrix degradation and invasion. Impairing lysosomal spreading in a zebrafish metastasis model significantly reduces invasive outgrowth. Our study provides a mechanistic demonstration that lysosomal positioning controls cell invasion, illustrating the importance of organelle adaptation in carcinogenesis.

Differentially expressed genes at molting and metamorphosis stages in Bombyx fat body

Project description:In the silkworm, Bombyx mori, juvenile hormone (JH) and 20-hydroxyecdysone (20E) levels are high during the final larval molt (4M) but both absent during the feeding stage of 5th instar (5F), while JH level is low and 20E level is high during the prepupal stage (PP). Fat body is the important organs in insect, we want to find out differentially expressed genes which are respectively regulated by the two hormones. Total RNA from 4th molting,5th feeding and prepupa stages Bombyx fat body were used to generate target cDNA, and then hybridized to 48k Bombyx genome Array Genechips, representing about 23000 characterized genes

Skeletal muscle gene expression in the wild type and the GAA knock-out mice, a model of Pompe disease

Project description:Pompe disease is a Lysosomal glycogen storage disorder due to the deficiency of acid alpha glucosidase. The enzyme degrades glycogen to glucose and its deficiency results in progressive enlargement of glycogen-filled lysosomes in multiple tissues with skeletal and cardiac muscle most severely affected clinically. Clinical spectrum ranges from most severe infantile cardiomegally and skeletal muscle myopathy to milder late onset forms with only skeletal muscle pathology. The currently available enzyme replacement therapy has only limited effect in skeletal muscle. Here we use RNA sequencing of therapy-resistant skeletal muscle (white part of gastrocnemius muscle) to identify the differencies between the diseased and healthy muscle. Total RNA was obtained from gastrocnemius muscle (white part) of acid alpha glucosidase knock-out and wild-type mice.

Enhanced and selective translation expands the lysosome size and promotes antigen presentation during phagocyte activation

Project description:The mechanisms that govern organelle remodeling remain poorly defined. Lysosomes degrade cargo from various routes including endocytosis, phagocytosis and autophagy. For phagocytes, lysosomes are a kingpin organelle since they are essential to kill pathogens and process and present antigens. During phagocyte activation, lysosomes undergo a striking reorganization, changing from dozens of globular structures to a tubular network, in a process that requires the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase-AKT-mTOR signalling pathway. Here, we show that lysosomes undergo a remarkable expansion in volume and holding capacity during phagocyte activation within 2 h of LPS stimulation. Lysosome expansion was paralleled by an increase in lysosomal protein levels, but this was unexpectedly independent of TFEB and TFE3 transcription factors, known to scale up lysosome biogenesis. Instead, we demonstrate a hitherto unappreciated mechanism of acute organelle expansion via mTORC1-dependent increase in translation of mRNAs encoding key lysosomal proteins. Importantly, mTORC1-dependent increase in translation activity was necessary for efficient and rapid antigen presentation by dendritic cells. Collectively, we identified a previously unknown and functionally relevant mechanism for lysosome expansion that relies on mTORC1-dependent enhanced translation of mRNAs to boost protein synthesis and lysosome biogenesis in response to an infection signal.

β2-adrenergic agonists rescue lysosome acidification and function in PSEN1 deficiency by reversing defective ER to lysosome delivery of ClC-7

Project description:Lysosomal dysfunction is considered pathogenic in Alzheimer Disease (AD). Loss of Presenilin-1(PSEN1) function causing early onset AD impedes acidification via defective vATPase V0a1 subunit delivery to lysosomes. We report that isoproterenol and related β2-adrenergic agonists re-acidify lysosomes in PSEN1 KO cells and fibroblasts from PSEN1 familial AD(FAD) patients, restores lysosomal calcium homeostasis and proteolysis, and reverses impaired autophagy flux. We identify a novel rescue mechanism involving PKA-mediated facilitated delivery of ClC-7 to lysosomes, which stimulates chloride influx and reverses markedly lowered Cl- content of PSEN1 KO lysosomes. Notably, PSEN1 loss-of-function impedes ER-to-lysosome delivery of ClC-7, thus accounting for lysosomal Cl- deficits that compound pH deficits due to deficient vATPase function. Transcriptomics of PSEN1-deficient cells reveal strongly down-regulated ER-to-lysosome transport pathways and reversibility by isoproterenol. Our findings uncover a broadened PSEN1 role in lysosomal ion homeostasis and novel pH modulation of lysosomes through β-adrenergic regulation of ClC-7, which can be therapeutically modulated.

Adiponectin-cre FTO flox/flox and FTO flox/flox mouse white fat tissues

Project description:Single nucleotide polymorphisms in intron 1 of the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene were found to be associated with an increased risk of adult obesity. Enhanced FTO expression in mice leads to hyperphagia, increased fat mass, and higher body weight. Neuronal-specific FTOâ??deleted mice have an identical lean body weight phenotype to global FTO-deleted mice. The physiological role of adipose FTO in the homeostasis of energy regulation remains to be elucidated. We used microarrays to elucidate the metabolic pathways that are regulated by FTO in the white fat. FTO flox/flox and Adiponectin-cre FTO flox/flox (AFO) mice were fed with chow diet. White fat tissues from epididymal adipose pad were harvested under ad lib condition for RNA isolation. Three independent pools of FTO flox/flox and AFO mouse white fat RNA were included in the study.
