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.

Project description:Transcription factor EB (TFEB) is a master regulator of lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy with critical roles in several cancers. Lysosomal autophagy promotes cancer survival through degradation of toxic molecules and maintenance of adequate nutrient supply. Doxorubicin (DOX) is the standard of care treatment for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC); however, chemoresistance at lower doses and toxicity at higher doses limit its usefulness. By targeting pathways of survival, DOX can become an effective antitumor agent. In this study, we examined the role of TFEB in TNBC and its relationship with autophagy and DNA damage induced by DOX. In TNBC cells, TFEB was hypo-phosphorylated and localized to the nucleus upon DOX treatment. TFEB knockdown decreased the viability of TNBC cells while increasing caspase-3 dependent apoptosis. Additionally, inhibition of TFEB-phosphatase calcineurin sensitized cells to DOX-induced apoptosis in a TFEB dependent fashion. Regulation of apoptosis by TFEB was not a consequence of altered lysosomal function, as TFEB continued to protect against apoptosis in the presence of lysosomal inhibitors. RNA-Seq analysis of TFEB knockdown MDA-MB-231 cells identified a significant downregulation in cell cycle and homologous recombination while genes involved in interferon-γ and TNFα signaling were upregulated. In consequence, knockdown of TFEB was found to disrupt DNA repair following DOX, as evidenced by persistent γH2A.X detection. Together, these findings describe in TNBC a novel lysosomal independent function for TFEB in responding to DNA damage.

Project description:Activation of the STING (Stimulator of Interferon Genes) pathway by microbial or self-DNA, as well as cyclic di nucleotides (CDN), results in the induction of numerous genes that suppress pathogen replication and facilitate adaptive immunity. However, sustained gene transcription is rigidly prevented to avoid lethal STING-dependent pro-inflammatory disease by mechanisms that remain unknown. We demonstrate here that after autophagy-dependent STING delivery of TBK1 (TANK-binding kinase 1) to endosomal/lysosomal compartments and activation of transcription factors IRF3 (interferon regulatory factors 3) and NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa beta), that STING is subsequently phosphorylated by serine/threonine UNC-51-like kinase (ULK1/ATG1) and IRF3 function is suppressed. ULK1 activation occurred following disassociation from its repressor adenine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK), and was elicited by CDN’S generated by the cGAMP synthase, cGAS. Thus, while CDN’s may initially facilitate STING function, they subsequently trigger negative-feedback control of STING activity, thus preventing the persistent transcription of innate immune genes. Total RNA obtained from primary STING deficient mouse embryonic fibroblast reconstituted with mSTING (W), S365A variant (A), or S365D variant (D). These cells were transfected with dsDNA (ISD) for 3 hours.

Project description:To understand the activation of the MITF/TFE transcription factors in effective defense against pathogens we examined the genome wide distribution of TFE3 in control and activated mouse macrophages. It was determined that TFEB and TFE3 collaborate with each other to promote efficient autophagy induction, increased lysosomal biogenesis, and transcriptional upregulation of proinflammatory cytokines and key mediators of the inflammatory response. 4 samples were analyzed: Background Control, Control, Starvation, LPS

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.

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.

Project description:The transcription factor EB (TFEB) is a master regulator of lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy. We identify a distinct nuclear interactome of TFEB, with USP7 emerging as a key post-translational modulator of TFEB. Genetic depletion and inhibition of USP7 reveal its critical role in preserving TFEB stability within both nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments. Specifically, USP7 is identified as the deubiquitinase responsible for removing the K48-linked polyubiquitination signal from TFEB at lysine residues K116, K264, and K274, thereby preventing its proteasomal degradation. Functional assays demonstrate the involvement of USP7 in preserving TFEB-mediated transcriptional responses to nutrient deprivation, while also modulating autophagy flux and lysosome biogenesis. As USP7 is a deubiquitinase that protects TFEB from proteasomal degradation, these findings provide the foundation for therapeutic targeting of the USP7-TFEB axis in conditions characterized by TFEB dysregulation and metabolic abnormalities, particularly in certain cancers.
