Genome binding/occupancy profiling of USF2 under glucose starvation and changes in H3K27ac based on the presence of USF2

ABSTRACT: Intricate regulation of lysosome and autophagy processes is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and basal metabolism. While the consequences of disrupting or attenuating lysosome and autophagy systems have been extensively studied, little is known about the impact of hyper-activation of lysosomal and autophagy genes on homeostasis. Our research uncovers previously unknown transcriptional repression mechanism by upstream stimulatory factor 2 (USF2), which inhibits lysosomal and autophagy genes in nutrient-rich conditions. USF2 binds to the CLEAR motif within lysosomal genes along with HDAC1, which diminishes H3K27 acetylation levels, restrains chromatin accessibility, and lowers lysosomal gene expression. Under starvation, USF2 competes with TFEB, a master transcriptional activator of lysosomal and autophagy genes, to bind target gene promoters in phosphorylation-dependent manner. Phosphorylation of the S155 site by GSK3b plays a pivotal role in controlling USF2's DNA binding activity for the repression of lysosomal genes while GSK3b-mediated phosphorylation of TFEB enhances its cytoplasmic retention. Applying these discoveries has potential for treating diseases associated with protein aggregation, including alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. These findings demonstrate that the USF2 repression mechanism could be a potent therapeutic strategy for various lysosome and autophagy-related diseases.

Cathepsin B modulates lysosomal biogenesis and host defense against Francisella novicida infection

Project description:Lysosomal cathepsins regulate an exquisite range of biological functions, and their deregulation is associated with inflammatory, metabolic and degenerative disease in humans. Here, we identified a key cell-intrinsic role for cathepsin B as a negative feedback regulator of lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy. Mice and macrophages lacking cathepsin B activity had increased resistance to the cytosolic bacterial pathogen Francisella novicida. Genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of cathepsin B downregulated mTOR activity and prevented cleavage of the lysosomal calcium channel TRPML1. These events drove transcription of lysosomal and autophagy genes via the transcription factor TFEB, which increased lysosomal biogenesis and activation of autophagy-initiation kinase ULK1 for clearance of the bacteria. Our results identified a fundamental biological function of cathepsin B in providing a checkpoint for homeostatic maintenance of lysosome population and basic recycling functions in the cell. We used microarrays to explore the gene expression profiles differentially expressed in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) isolated from cathepsin B-/- and wild-type mice.

TFEB activation in macrophages attenuates postmyocardial infarction ventricular dysfunction independently of ATG5-mediated autophagy

Project description:Lysosomes are at the epicenter of cellular processes critical for inflammasome activation in macrophages, including autophagy and lipid metabolism. Inflammasome activation and IL1-beta secretion are implicated in atherogenesis, ischemic cardiac injury and resultant heart failure; however, little is known about the role of macrophage lysosome function in regulating these processes. We hypothesized that macrophages exhibit lysosome dysfunction in heart failure due to ischemic injury, and that augmentation of macrophage lysosomal biogenesis via macrophage-specific overexpression of transcription factor EB (mf-TFEB) would attenuate ischemic remodeling by modulating macrophage inflammatory responses. In both mice subject to ischemia-reperfusion injury, and human heart tissue from patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, we find evidence of lysosome insufficiency and autophagic impairment, respectively. Mf-TFEB overexpression significantly attenuated post-IR adverse left ventricular remodeling at 4 weeks without affecting scar size. Mf-TFEB overexpression reduced the relative amounts of pro-inflammatory macrophage populations in the myocardium. RNA sequencing of flow-sorted cardiac macrophages post-IR confirmed that TFEB stimulated a lysosomal transcriptional program in macrophages, and upregulated key targets involved in lysosomal lipid metabolism, which we show are critical for inflammasome suppression. Both TFEB-dependent inflammasome suppression and effects on post-IR remodeling were independent of autophagy. Our findings suggest that TFEB reprograms macrophage lysosomal lipid metabolism to attenuate inflammasome activity and protect against post-ischemic cardiac remodeling and simultaneously shift our understanding of how autophagy and lipid metabolism impact acute inflammation.

RNA-Seq Samples of siTFE3 in 8988T PDA Cell Line to Investigate Transcriptional Control of the Autophagy-Lysosome System

Project description:The activation of cellular quality control pathways to maintain metabolic homeostasis and mitigate diverse cellular stresses is emerging as a critical growth and survival mechanism in many cancers. Autophagy, a highly conserved cellular self-degradative process, is a key player in the initiation and maintenance of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA). However, the regulatory circuits that activate autophagy, and how they enable reprogramming of PDA cell metabolism are unknown. We now show that autophagy regulation in PDA occurs as part of a broader program that coordinates activation of lysosome biogenesis, function and nutrient scavenging, through constitutive activation of the MiT/TFE family of bHLH transcription factors. In PDA cells, the MiT/TFE proteins - MITF, TFE3 and TFEB - override a regulatory mechanism that controls their nuclear translocation, resulting in their constitutive activation. By orchestrating the expression of a coherent network of genes that induce high levels of lysosomal catabolic function, the MiT/TFE factors are required for proliferation and tumorigenicity of PDA cells. Importantly, unbiased global metabolite profiling reveals that MiT/TFE-dependent autophagy-lysosomal activation is specifically required to maintain intracellular AA pools in PDA. This AA flux is part of a program that is essential for metabolic homeostasis and bioenergetics of PDA but not for their non-transformed counterparts. These results identify the MiT/TFE transcription factors as master regulators of the autophagy-lysosomal system in PDA and demonstrate a central role of the autophagosome-lysosome compartment in maintaining tumor cell metabolism through alternative amino acid acquisition and utilization.

Disrupting the Myc-Tfeb circuit confers vulnerabilities targeting amino acid homeostasis and provokes metabolic anergy

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming sustains cancer cell anabolism, and MYC oncoproteins control many aspects of this response. Normal cells adapt to nutrient-limiting conditions by activating autophagy, which is required for amino acid (AA) homeostasis. Surprisingly, here we report the autophagy-lysosomal pathway is suppressed by Myc in normal B cells, in premalignant and neoplastic B cells of Eµ-Myc transgenic mice, and in MYC-driven human Burkitt lymphoma. Myc suppresses autophagy by antagonizing expression and function of TFEB, a master regulator of autophagy/lysosome genes. Notably, compensatory mechanisms that sustain AA pools in MYC-expressing B cells include marked increases in AA transport and coordinate induction of the proteasome. Finally, reactivation of the autophagy-lysosomal pathway by constitutively active TFEB disables the malignant state, by perturbing mitochondrial functions and disrupting proteasome activity, amino acid transport, and disrupts amino acid and nucleotide metabolism, leading to growth arrest and apoptosis. This scenario provides therapeutic opportunities that disable MYC-driven tumorigenesis, including AA restriction and treatment with proteasome inhibitors.
