Let-7 and induced 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.

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

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.

TORSEL, a 4EBP1-based mTORC1 live-cell sensor, reveals nutrient-sensing targeting by histone deacetylase inhibitor

Project description:Mammalian or the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is an effective therapeutic target for diseases such as cancer, diabetes, aging, and neurodegeneration. However, an efficient tool to monitor mTORC1 inhibition in living cells or tissues is lacking. We developed a genetically encoded mTORC1 sensor called TORSEL. This sensor changes its fluorescence pattern from diffuse to punctate when 4EBP1 dephosphorylation occurs and interacts with eIF4E. TORSEL can specifically sense physiological, pharmacological, and genetic inhibition of mTORC1 signaling in living cells and tissues. Importantly, TORSEL is a valuable tool for imaging-based visual screening of mTORC1 inhibitors. Using TORSEL, we identified histone deacetylase inhibitors that selectively block nutrient-sensing signaling to inhibit mTORC1. Therefore, TORSEL is a unique living cell sensor that efficiently detects the inhibition of mTORC1 activity, and histone deacetylase inhibitors such as panobinostat target mTORC1 signaling through amino acid sensing.

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.
