Project description:Itaconate is an immunoregulatory metabolite produced by the mitochondrial enzyme immune-responsive gene 1 (IRG1) in inflammatory macrophages. We recently identified an important mechanism by which itaconate is released from inflammatory macrophages. However, it remains unknown whether extracellular itaconate is taken up by non-myeloid cells to exert immunoregulatory functions. Here, we used a custom-designed CRISPR screen to identify the dicarboxylate transporter solute carrier family 13 member 3 (SLC13A3) as an itaconate importer and to characterize the role of SLC13A3 in itaconate-improved hepatic antibacterial innate immunity. Functionally, liver-specific deletion of Slc13a3 impairs hepatic antibacterial innate immunity in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, itaconate uptake via SLC13A3 induces transcription factor EB (TFEB)-dependent lysosomal biogenesis and subsequently improves antibacterial innate immunity in murine hepatocytes. These findings identify SLC13A3 as a key itaconate importer in murine hepatocytes and will aid in the development of potent itaconate-based antibacterial therapeutics.

Project description:Itaconate is a metabolite that synthesized from cis-aconitate in mitochondria and transported into cytosol to exert multiple regulatory effects in macrophages. However, the mechanism by which itaconate exits from the cytosol of activated macrophages remains unknown. Using a genetic screen, we reveal that cytosolic itaconate is exported by ABCG2, an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, in an ATPase-dependent manner in human and mouse macrophages.

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: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.

Project description:Remodeling of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is a metabolic adaptation mechanism accompanying inflammatory macrophage activation. During this process, endogenous metabolites can adopt regulatory roles that govern specific aspects of inflammatory response, as recently shown for succinate, which regulates the downstream pro-inflammatory IL-1β-HIF1a axis. Itaconate is one of the most highly induced metabolites in activated macrophages, yet its functional significance remains unknown. Here, we show that itaconate modulates macrophage metabolism and effector functions via its effect on succinate dehydrogenase, by inhibiting conversion of succinate to fumarate. Through this action, itaconate exerts anti-inflammatory effects when administered in vitro and in vivo during macrophage activation and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Using newly generated Irg1-/- mice, which lack the ability to produce itaconate, we show that endogenous itaconate regulates succinate levels and function, changes in mitochondrial respiration, and inflammatory cytokine production during macrophage activation. These studies highlight itaconate as a major physiological regulator of the global metabolic rewiring and effector functions of inflammatory macrophages. Experiment 1: mature WT BMDM were treated for 12h with 0.25 mM dimethyl itaconate (DI) or vehicle (Unst) and then stimulated with LPS (E. coli 0111:B4; 100 ng/ml, 4h) (DI+LPS; LPS); Experiment 2: mature Irg1-/- BMDM were stimulated with LPS (E. coli 0111:B4; 100 ng/ml) and murine recombinant IFNg (50 ng/ml) for 24h.

Project description:Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1) is a critical regulator of cell growth by integrating multiple signals (nutrients, growth factors, energy and stress) and is frequently deregulated in many types of cancer. We used a robust experimental paradigm involving the combination of two interventions, one genetic and one pharmacologic to identify genes regulated transcriptionally by mTORC1. In Tsc2+/+, but not Tsc2-/- immortalized mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs), serum deprivation downregulates mTORC1 activity. In Tsc2-/- cells, abnormal mTORC1 activity can be downregulated by treatment with rapamycin (sirolimus). By contrast, rapamycin has little effect on mTORC1 in Tsc2+/+ cells in which mTORC1 is already inhibited by low serum. Thus, under serum deprived conditions, mTORC1 activity is low in Tsc2+/+ cells (untreated or rapamycin treated), high in Tsc2-/- cells, but lowered by rapamycin; a pattern referred to as a M-bM-^@M-^\low/low/high/lowM-bM-^@M-^] or M-bM-^@M-^\LLHLM-bM-^@M-^]. We found that mTORC1 regulated the expression of, among other lysosomal genes, V-ATPases through the transcription factor EB (TFEB, Tcfeb in the mouse). The knockdown of Tfeb resulted in the 'flattening' of the LLHL pattern and allowed the identification of genes regulated by mTORC1 through Tfeb Mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) wild type or deficient in Tsc2 expressing a Tfeb shRNA or scrambled shRNA vector were treated with 25 nM rapamycin or vehicle (methanol) for 24 h under low serum conditions (0.1% FBS)

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:Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is caused by germline TSC1 or TSC2 mutations, leading to hyperactivation of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and tumors in multiple organs including the brain, heart, lung (lymphangioleiomyomatosis), and kidney (angiomyolipoma and renal cell carcinoma). Previously, we found that TFEB is constitutively active in models of TSC. To determine the impact of TFEB in vivo, we generated two novel mouse models of TSC, resulting in premature death, in which kidney pathology was the primary phenotype. RNA sequencing revealed that lysosomal and proteasomal gene pathways were the most highly upregulated in the TSC2-deficient kidneys. Knockout of TFEB rescued both kidney pathology and overall survival in both models, indicating that TFEB is the primary driver of renal disease in TSC. Importantly, mTORC1 activity, which was elevated in the TSC2 knockout kidneys, was normalized by TFEB knockout. Knockdown of Rheb or treatment of TSC2-deficient cells with Rapamycin paradoxically increases TFEB phosphorylation at the mTORC1-site (S211) and relocalizes TFEB from the nucleus to the cytoplasm via a Rag-dependent mechanism. Accordingly, treatment of TSC2 knockout mice with Rapamycin normalized lysosomal gene expression, similar to TFEB knockout, suggesting that the beneficial effects of Rapamycin in TSC are TFEB-dependent. These results change the view of the mechanisms leading to mTORC1 hyperactivation in TSC and may lead to novel therapeutic avenues for the treatment of TSC.

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.
