Let-7 coordinately suppresses components of the amino acid sensing pathway to induce autophagy

ABSTRACT: Macroautophagy (hereafter autophagy) is the major pathway by which macromolecules and organelles are degraded. Autophagy is regulated by the mTOR signaling pathway, which is the focal point for integration of metabolic information, with mTORC1 playing a central role in balancing biosynthesis and catabolism. Of the various inputs to mTORC1, the amino acid sensing pathway is among the most potent. Based upon transcriptome analysis of neurons subjected to nutrient deprivation, we identified let-7 as a microRNA capable of promoting neuronal autophagy. We found that let-7 activates autophagy by coordinately down-regulating the amino acid sensing pathway to prevent mTORC1 activation. Let-7 induced autophagy in the brain and greatly reduced protein aggregates in a lentivirus model of polyglutamine disease, establishing the physiological relevance of let-7 for in vivo autophagy modulation. Moreover, peripheral delivery of let-7 anti-miR repressed autophagy in muscle and white fat, suggesting that let-7 autophagy regulation extends beyond the CNS. Hence, let-7 plays a central role in nutrient homeostasis and proteostasis regulation in higher organisms.

Hence, let-7 plays a central role in nutrient homeostasis and proteostasis regulation in higher organisms. Using sets of wild-type C57BL/6J mice, we established primary cortical neuron cultures from P0 littermates, and cultured these neurons (n = 3 / set) in CM or NLM for 4 hrs.

single-cell mRNA sequencing of human embryonic pancreas

Project description:A drastic transition at birth, from constant maternal nutrient supply in utero to intermittent postnatal feeding, requires changes in the metabolic system. Despite their central role in metabolic homeostasis, little is known about how pancreatic beta cells adjust to the new nutritional program. Our experiments show that after birth beta cells shift from amino acid- to glucose-stimulated insulin secretion that correlates with the nutritional environment of the animal. This metabolic adaptation is mediated by a transition in nutrient sensitivity of the mTORC1 pathway , which leads toresults in intermittent mTORC1 signaling activity. Disrupting nutrient sensitivity of mTORC1 in mature beta cells affects insulin secretion and reverts them to an immature functional state. Finally, manipulating nutrient sensitivity of mTORC1 in stem cell-derived beta cells in vitro strongly enhances their glucose-responsive insulin secretion. These results reveal a mechanism by which nutrient sensing regulates beta cell function, thereby enabling a metabolic adaptation for the newborn.

Exonuclease Xrn1 regulates TORC1 signaling in response to SAM availability

Project description:Autophagy is a conserved process of cellular self-digestion that promotes survival during nutrient stress. In yeast, methionine starvation is sufficient to induce autophagy. One pathway of autophagy induction is governed by the SEACIT complex, which regulates TORC1 activity in response to amino acids through the Rag GTPases Gtr1 and Gtr2 This work identifies an unexpected yet critical role for Xrn1 in nutrient sensing and growth control that extends beyond its canonical housekeeping function in RNA degradation and indicates an avenue for RNA metabolism to function in amino acid signaling into TORC1.

Single cell RNA sequencing of mouse embryonic fibroblasts in autophagy processes

Project description:Autophagy, a catabolic process to remove unnecessary or dysfunctional cells, is triggered by various signals including nutrient starvation. Depending on the type of the nutrient deficiency, diverse sensing mechanisms and pathways are used for autophagy, suggesting subsequent nutrient dependent transcriptional regulation. Still, however, our knowledge about nutrient specific transcriptional regulation during autophagy is limited. To understand nutrient type dependent transcriptional mechanisms during autophagy, we performed single cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) for the mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) before and after applying glucose- (GS) as well as amino acid starvation (AAS). Trajectory analysis using scRNAseq identified sequential induction of potential transcriptional regulators for each deficiency condition. Gene regulatory rules inferred using TENET newly identified CCAAT/enhancer binding protein γ (C/EBPγ) regulates autophagy processes specifically to AAS condition. Strikingly, knockdown of C/EBPγ attenuated the autophagic process only in the AAS condition. Cell biological and biochemical studies validated that C/EBPγ plays a switching role for ATF4 to activate autophagy genes under AAS, but not under GS. Together, our data identified C/EBPγ as a previously unidentified key regulator under amino acid starvation-induced autophagy.

TFEB safeguards trophoblast syncytialization in humans and mice (human RNA-Seq)

Project description:Nutrient sensing and adaptation in the placenta are essential for pregnancy viability and proper fetal growth. Our recent research demonstrates that the placenta adapts to nutrient insufficiency through mTOR inhibition-mediated trophoblast differentiation toward syncytiotrophoblasts (STBs), a highly specialized multinucleated trophoblast subtype directing extensive maternal-fetal interactions. However, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, we unravel the indispensable role of the mTORC1 downstream transcriptional factor TFEB in STB formation both in vitro and in vivo. Endogenous TFEB deficiency significantly impaired STB differentiation in trophoblast cells and placenta organoids. Mechanistically, TFEB conferred direct transcriptional regulation of the fusogen ERVFRD-1 in human trophoblasts and thereby profoundly promoted STB formation, independent of its canonical function as a master regulator of the autophagy-lysosomal pathway. In line with the in vitro findings, systemic or trophoblast-specific deletion of Tfeb compromised STB formation and placental vascular construction, leading to severe embryonic lethality. Moreover, TFEB directs the trophoblast syncytialization response driven by mTORC1 signaling. Importantly, TFEB expression positively correlates with the reinforced trophoblast syncytialization in human fetal growth restriction (FGR) placentas exhibiting suppressed mTORC1 activity. Our findings substantiate that the TFEB-fusogen axis ensures proper STB formation during placenta development and under nutrient stress, shedding light on TFEB as a mechanistic link between nutrient-sensing machinery and trophoblast differentiation.
