Project description:TFEB and TFE3 are transcriptional regulators of the innate immune response, but the mechanisms regulating their activation upon pathogen infection are poorly elucidated. Using C. elegans and mammalian models, we report that the master metabolic modulator 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and its negative regulator Folliculin (FLCN) act upstream of TFEB/TFE3 in the innate immune response, independently of the mTORC1 signaling pathway. In nematodes, loss of FLCN or overexpression of AMPK confers pathogen resistance via activation of TFEB/TFE3- dependent antimicrobial genes, while ablation of total AMPK activity abolishes this phenotype. Similarly, in mammalian cells, loss of FLCN or pharmacological activation of AMPK induces TFEB/TFE3-dependent pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. Importantly, a rapid reduction in cellular ATP levels in murine macrophages is observed upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment accompanied by an acute AMPK activation and TFEB nuclear localization. These results uncover an ancient, highly conserved and pharmacologically actionable mechanism coupling energy status with innate immunity.

Project description:Birt-Hogg-Dubè (BHD) syndrome is an inherited condition caused by loss-of-function mutations in the gene encoding the tumor-suppressor protein folliculin (FLCN) and frequently associated with kidney cysts and cancer. FLCN acts as a negative regulator of TFEB and TFE3 transcription factors, master controllers of lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy, by enabling their phosphorylation by the mechanistic Target Of Rapamycin Complex 1 (mTORC1). We previously showed that deletion of TFEB rescued the renal cystic phenotype of kidney-specific Flcn KO mice. Using Flcn/TFEB/TFE3 double and triple KO mice we now show that both TFEB and TFE3 contribute, in a differential and cooperative manner, to kidney cystogenesis. Importantly, silencing of either TFEB or TFE3 rescued tumorigenesis in patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) generated from a kidney tumor of a BHD patient. Furthermore, transcriptome analyses performed in transgenic mice, PDXs and patient tumor samples revealed TFEB/TFE3 downstream targets that may contribute to their tumorigenic activity. Our findings demonstrate in disease-relevant models that TFEB and TFE3 are key drivers of kidney tumorigenesis and suggest novel therapeutic strategies based on the inhibition of these transcription factors.

Project description:Growing tumors exist in metabolically compromised environments that require activation of multiple pathways to scavenge nutrients to support accelerated rates of growth. The FLCN tumor suppressor complex (FLCN, FNIP1, FNIP2) has been implicated in the regulation of energy homeostasis via two metabolic master kinases: AMPK and mTORC1. Loss-of-function mutations of the FLCN tumor suppressor complex have only been reported in renal tumors in patients with the rare Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome. Here we reveal that FLCN, FNIP1, and FNIP2 are downregulated in many human cancers including poor prognosis invasive basal-like breast carcinomas where AMPK and TFE3 targets are activated compared to the luminal, less aggressive subtypes. We show that FLCN loss in luminal subtypes promotes tumor growth through TFE3 activation and subsequent induction of several pathways including autophagy, lysosomal biogenesis, aerobic glycolysis, and angiogenesis. Strikingly, induction of aerobic glycolysis and angiogenesis in FLCN deficient cells was dictated by the activation of PGC-1⍺/HIF-1⍺ pathway, which we show to be TFE3-dependent, directly linking TFE3 to Warburg metabolic reprogramming and angiogenesis. Thus, FLCN loss induces TFE3-dependent breast tumor growth through activation of multiple mechanisms, including previously unreported roles in aerobic glycolysis and angiogenesis. These findings could point to a general role of a deregulated FLCN/TFE3 tumor suppressor pathway in human cancers.

Project description:UOK257 cell line was derived from a BHD patient. It harbors a germline mutation in FLCN (c.1285dupC) and LOH. UOK257-2 cells were generated from UOK257 cells by introducing wildtype FLCN using retrovirus. FLCN inactivation induces TFE3 transcriptional activity by increasing its nuclear localization. Thus expression microarray was used to identify the genes regulated by FLCN and TFE3. UOK257-2 cells expressing wildtype FLCN were transfected with 1) scrambled, 2) FLCN, 3) TFE3 and 4)FLCN/TFE3 siRNAs with Lipofectamine 2000 transfection reagent. Cells were harvested 3 days after transfection and RNAs were isolated using Trizol reagent and RNeasy Mini Kit. The genes induced by FLCN siRNA and reduced by TFE3 siRNA were chosen as a candidate genes regulated by FLCN and TFE3.

Project description:Cells respond to mitochondrial energetic stress with rapid activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), which acutely inhibits anabolism and stimulates catabolism. AMPK also induces sustained transcriptional reprogramming of metabolism. The TFEB transcription factor is a major effector of AMPK signals, inducing lysosome genes following energetic stress. Yet the molecular mechanism underlying how AMPK activates TFEB remains unresolved. We demonstrate here that AMPK directly phosphorylates five conserved serine residues in FNIP1, which suppresses the function of the FLCN/FNIP1 RagC GAP complex, in turn controlling TFEB lysosomal localization. We demonstrate that FNIP1 phosphorylation is required for AMPK to induce nuclear translocation of TFEB, which is fully separable from AMPK control of canonical mTORC1 signaling. Using a non-phosphorylatable allele of FNIP1, we show that in parallel to lysosomal biogenesis, AMPK induces mitochondrial biogenesis via TFEB-dependent induction of PGC1a mRNA. This signaling from mitochondrial stress is also independent of amino-acid control of the Rags and TFEB, which still proceed normally in cells bearing the AMPK-non phosphorylatable allele of FNIP1. Taken together, mitochondrial energetic stress triggers AMPK/FNIP1-dependent TFEB nuclear translocation, inducing transcriptional waves of lysosomal and mitochondrial biogenesis.

Project description:Faithful execution of developmental programs relies on the acquisition of unique cell identities from pluripotent progenitors, a process governed by combinatorial inputs from numerous signaling cascades that ultimately dictate lineage-specific transcriptional outputs. Despite growing evidence that metabolism is integrated with many molecular networks, how pathways that control energy homeostasis may affect cell fate decisions is largely unknown. Here, we show that AMPK, a central metabolic regulator, plays critical roles in lineage specification. Although AMPK-deficient embryonic stem cells (ESCs) were normal in the pluripotent state, these cells displayed profound defects upon differentiation, failing to generate chimeric embryos and preferentially adopting an ectodermal fate at the expense of the endoderm during embryoid body (EB) formation. AMPK-/- EBs exhibited reduced levels of Tfeb, a master transcriptional regulator of lysosomes, leading to diminished endolysosomal function. Remarkably, genetic loss of Tfeb also yielded endodermal defects, while AMPK-null ESCs over-expressing this transcription factor normalized their differential potential, revealing an intimate connection between Tfeb/lysosomes and germ layer specification. The compromised endolysosomal system resulting from AMPK or Tfeb inactivation blunted Wnt signaling, while up-regulating this pathway restored expression of endodermal markers. Collectively, these results uncover the AMPK pathway as a novel regulator of cell fate determination during differentiation. 2 WT and 2 AMPK DKO ESC lines were differentiated into embryoid bodies (EBs) for various lengths of time (2, 4, 8, and 12 days) in high and low glucose conditions. Both ESC and EB samples were profiled by mRNA-seq to examine how global gene expression changes associated with ESC differentiation are affected by AMPK deletion.

Project description:The bHLH transcription factor Tfe3 is a powerful regulator of pluripotency and we report a genome-wide analysis of Tfe3 occupancy in mouse ES cells. Nuclear localization of Tfe3 is inhibited by a protein complex containing the tumor-suppressor Folliculin (Flcn) and we also determine Tfe3 binding sites in ES cells expressing an shRNA targeting Flcn. Specificity is controlled for by using unspecific IgGs and ES cells expressing an shRNA targeting Tfe3. ChIP-Seq profiling of Tfe3 in ES cells
