[PMID: 39170917 PMCID: PMC11335558 DOI: 10.3389/fcell.2024.1431566] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2024] [Accepted: 07/19/2024] [Indexed: 08/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Lysosomes serve as catabolic centers and signaling hubs in cells, regulating a multitude of cellular processes such as intracellular environment homeostasis, macromolecule degradation, intracellular vesicle trafficking and autophagy. Alterations in lysosomal level and function are crucial for cellular adaptation to external stimuli, with lysosome dysfunction being implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases. Osteoclasts (OCs), as multinucleated cells responsible for bone resorption and maintaining bone homeostasis, have a complex relationship with lysosomes that is not fully understood. Dysregulated function of OCs can disrupt bone homeostasis leading to the development of various bone disorders. The regulation of OC differentiation and bone resorption for the treatment of bone disease have received considerable attention in recent years, yet the role and regulation of lysosomes in OCs, as well as the potential therapeutic implications of intervening in lysosomal biologic behavior for the treatment of bone diseases, remain relatively understudied. This review aims to elucidate the mechanisms involved in lysosomal biogenesis and to discuss the functions of lysosomes in OCs, specifically in relation to differentiation, bone resorption, and autophagy. Finally, we explore the potential therapeutic implication of targeting lysosomes in the treatment of bone metabolic disorders.

Yu D, Liang J, Widlund HR, Puigserver P. Feedforward cysteine regulation maintains melanoma differentiation state and limits metastatic spread. Cell Rep 2024; 43:114484.

Abstract
The inherent ability of melanoma cells to alter the differentiation-associated transcriptional repertoire to evade treatment and facilitate metastatic spread is well accepted and has been termed phenotypic switching. However, how these facets of cellular behavior are controlled remains largely elusive. Here, we show that cysteine availability, whether from lysosomes (CTNS-dependent) or exogenously derived (SLC7A11-dependent or as N-acetylcysteine), controls melanoma differentiation-associated pathways by acting on the melanocyte master regulator MITF. Functional data indicate that low cysteine availability reduces MITF levels and impairs lysosome functions, which affects tumor ferroptosis sensitivity but improves metastatic spread in vivo. Mechanistically, cysteine-restrictive conditions reduce acetyl-CoA levels to decrease p300-mediated H3K27 acetylation at the melanocyte-restricted MITF promoter, thus forming a cysteine feedforward regulation that controls MITF levels and downstream lysosome functions. These findings collectively suggest that cysteine homeostasis governs melanoma differentiation by maintaining MITF levels and lysosome functions, which protect against ferroptosis and limit metastatic spread.

[PMID: 38596406 PMCID: PMC11001778 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbrep.2024.101705] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2023] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024] Open
Abstract
(Macro)autophagy is a cellular degradation system for unnecessary materials, such as aggregate-prone TDP-43, a central molecule in neurodegenerative diseases including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. Abemaciclib (Abe) and vacuolin-1 (Vac) treatments are known to induce vacuoles characterized by an autophagosome and a lysosome component, suggesting that they facilitate autophagosome-lysosome fusion. However, it remains unknown whether Abe and Vac suppress the accumulation of aggregate-prone TDP-43 by accelerating autophagic flux. In the present study, the Abe and Vac treatment dose-dependently reduced the GFP/RFP ratio in SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells stably expressing the autophagic flux marker GFP-LC3-RFP-LC3ΔG. Abe and Vac also increased the omegasome marker GFP-ATG13 signal and the autophagosome marker mCherry-LC3 localized to the lysosome marker LAMP1-GFP. The Abe and Vac treatment decreased the intracellular level of the lysosome marker LAMP1-GFP in SH-SY5Y cells stably expressing LAMP1-GFP, but did not increase the levels of LAMP1-GFP, the autophagosome marker LC3-II, or the multivesicular body marker TSG101 in the extracellular vesicle-enriched fraction. Moreover, Abe and Vac treatment autophagy-dependently inhibited GFP-tagged aggregate-prone TDP-43 accumulation. The results of a PI(3)P reporter assay using the fluorescent protein tagged-2 × FYVE and LAMP1-GFP indicated that Abe and Vac increased the intensity of the PI(3)P signal on lysosomes. A treatment with the VPS34 inhibitor wortmannin (WM) suppressed Abe-/Vac-facilitated autophagic flux and the degradation of GFP-tagged aggregate-prone TDP-43. Collectively, these results suggest that Abe and Vac degrade aggregate-prone TDP-43 by accelerating autophagosome formation and autophagosome-lysosome fusion through the formation of PI(3)P.

Abstract
Chemotherapy is a crucial treatment for colorectal tumors. However, its efficacy is restricted by chemoresistance. Recently, Golgi dispersal has been suggested to be a potential response to chemotherapy, particularly to drugs that induce DNA damage. However, the underlying mechanisms by which Golgi dispersal enhances the capacity to resist DNA-damaging agents remain unclear. Here, we demonstrated that DNA-damaging agents triggered Golgi dispersal in colorectal cancer (CRC), and cancer stem cells (CSCs) possessed a greater degree of Golgi dispersal compared with differentiated cancer cells (non-CSCs). We further revealed that Golgi dispersal conferred resistance against the lethal effects of DNA-damaging agents. Momentously, Golgi dispersal activated the Golgi stress response via the PKCα/GSK3α/TFE3 axis, resulting in enhanced protein and vesicle trafficking, which facilitated drug efflux through ABCG2. Identification of Golgi dispersal indicated an unexpected pathway regulating chemoresistance in CRC.

Abstract
More than 55 million individuals are suffering from Alzheimer's disease (AD), while the effective therapeutic strategies remain elusive. Our previous study identified a lysosome-enhancing lead compound LH2-051 with a tetrahydroisoquinoline scaffold through a novel dopamine transporter-cyclin-dependent kinase 9-transcription factor EB (DAT-CDK9-TFEB) regulation mechanism to promote TFEB activation and lysosome biogenesis. Here, we launched a comprehensive structure-activity relationship study for LH2-051, and 47 new derivatives were designed and synthesized, in which several compounds exhibited remarkable lysosome-enhancing activities. Notably, compounds 37 and 45 exhibited more favorable TFEB activation and lysosome biogenesis capabilities, good safety profiles, and excellent pharmacokinetic profiles with high brain penetration. Further investigations demonstrated that both compounds significantly enhance the clearance of Aβ aggregates and ameliorate the impairment of learning, memory, and cognition in APP/PS1 mice. Overall, these results indicated that compounds 37 and 45 are promising preclinical drug candidates for the treatment of AD.

Abstract
Mitochondria harbor the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) system to sustain cellular respiration. However, the transcriptional regulation of OXPHOS remains largely unexplored. Through the cancer genome atlas (TCGA) transcriptome analysis, transcription factor THAP domain-containing 3 (THAP3) was found to be strongly associated with OXPHOS gene expression. Mechanistically, THAP3 recruited the histone methyltransferase SET and MYND domain-containing protein 3 (SMYD3) to upregulate H3K4me3 and promote OXPHOS gene expression. The levels of THAP3 and SMYD3 were altered by metabolic cues. They collaboratively supported liver cancer cell proliferation and colony formation. In clinical human liver cancer, both of them were overexpressed. THAP3 positively correlated with OXPHOS gene expression. Together, THAP3 cooperates with SMYD3 to epigenetically upregulate cellular respiration and liver cancer cell proliferation.

Abstract
Lysosomes are the degradation centers and signaling hubs in the cell. Lysosomes undergo adaptation to maintain cell homeostasis in response to a wide variety of cues. Dysfunction of lysosomes leads to aging and severe diseases including lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs), neurodegenerative disorders, and cancer. To understand the complexity of lysosome biology, many research approaches and tools have been developed to investigate lysosomal functions and regulatory mechanisms in diverse experimental systems. This review summarizes the current approaches and tools adopted for studying lysosomes, and aims to provide a methodological overview of lysosomal research and related fields.

Abstract
Every cell must satisfy basic requirements for nutrient sensing, utilization and recycling through macromolecular breakdown to coordinate programmes for growth, repair and stress adaptation. The lysosome orchestrates these key functions through the synchronised interplay between hydrolytic enzymes, nutrient transporters and signalling factors, which together enable metabolic coordination with other organelles and regulation of specific gene expression programmes. In this Review, we discuss recent findings on lysosome-dependent signalling pathways, focusing on how the lysosome senses nutrient availability through its physical and functional association with mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and how, in response, the microphthalmia/transcription factor E (MiT/TFE) transcription factors exert feedback regulation on lysosome biogenesis. We also highlight the emerging interactions of lysosomes with other organelles, which contribute to cellular homeostasis. Lastly, we discuss how lysosome dysfunction contributes to diverse disease pathologies and how inherited mutations that compromise lysosomal hydrolysis, transport or signalling components lead to multi-organ disorders with severe metabolic and neurological impact. A deeper comprehension of lysosomal composition and function, at both the cellular and organismal level, may uncover fundamental insights into human physiology and disease.

Abstract
In the era of personalized therapy, precise targeting of subcellular organelles holds great promise for cancer modality. Taking into consideration that lysosome represents the intersection site in numerous endosomal trafficking pathways and their modulation in cancer growth, progression, and resistance against cancer therapies, the lysosome is proposed as an attractive therapeutic target for cancer treatment. Based on the recent advances, the current review provides a comprehensive understanding of molecular mechanisms of lysosome homeostasis under 3R responses: Repair, Removal (lysophagy) and Regeneration of lysosomes. These arms of 3R responses have distinct role in lysosome homeostasis although their interdependency along with switching between the pathways still remain elusive. Recent advances underpinning the crucial role of (1) ESCRT complex dependent/independent repair of lysosome, (2) various Galectins-based sensing and ubiquitination in lysophagy and (3) TFEB/TFE proteins in lysosome regeneration/biogenesis of lysosome are outlined. Later, we also emphasised how these recent advancements may aid in development of phytochemicals and pharmacological agents for targeting lysosomes for efficient cancer therapy. Some of these lysosome targeting agents, which are now at various stages of clinical trials and patents, are also highlighted in this review.

Abstract
Transcription factor EB (TFEB), known as a major transcriptional regulator of the autophagy-lysosomal pathway, regulates target gene expression by binding to coordinated lysosomal expression and regulation (CLEAR) elements. TFEB are regulated by multiple links, such as transcriptional regulation, post-transcriptional regulation, translational-level regulation, post-translational modification (PTM), and nuclear competitive regulation. Targeted regulation of TFEB has been victoriously used as a treatment strategy in several disease models such as ischemic injury, lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), cancer, metabolic disorders, neurodegenerative diseases, and inflammation. In this review, we aimed to elucidate the regulatory mechanism of TFEB and its applications in several disease models by targeting the regulation of TFEB as a treatment strategy.

Resistance to abemaciclib is associated with increased metastatic potential and lysosomal protein deregulation in breast cancer cells. Mol Carcinog 2024; 63:209-223. [PMID: 37818798 DOI: 10.1002/mc.23646] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/11/2023] [Revised: 09/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/19/2023] [Indexed: 10/13/2023]
Abstract
Cyclin dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors such as abemaciclib are routinely used to treat metastatic estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. However, adaptive mechanisms inhibit their effectiveness and allow for disease progression. Using ER+ breast cancer cell models, we show that acquired resistance to abemaciclib is accompanied by increase in metastatic potential. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics from abemaciclib sensitive and resistant cells showed that lysosomal proteins including CTSD (cathepsin D), cathepsin A and CD68 were significantly increased in resistant cells. Combination of abemaciclib and a lysosomal destabilizer, such as hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) or bafilomycin A1, resensitized resistant cells to abemaciclib. Also, combination of abemaciclib and HCQ decreased migration and invasive potential and increased lysosomal membrane permeability in resistant cells. Prosurvival B cell lymphoma 2 (BCL2) protein levels were elevated in resistant cells, and a triple treatment with abemaciclib, HCQ, and BCL2 inhibitor, venetoclax, significantly inhibited cell growth compared to treatment with abemaciclib and HCQ. Furthermore, resistant cells showed increased levels of Transcription Factor EB (TFEB), a master regulator of lysosomal-autophagy genes, and siRNA mediated knockdown of TFEB decreased invasion in resistant cells. TFEB was found to be mutated in a subset of invasive human breast cancer samples, and overall survival analysis in ER+, lymph node-positive breast cancer showed that increased TFEB expression correlated with decreased survival. Collectively, we show that acquired resistance to abemaciclib leads to increased metastatic potential and increased levels of protumorigenic lysosomal proteins. Therefore, the lysosomal pathway could be a therapeutic target in advanced ER+ breast cancer.

Abstract
Involution of the mammary gland after lactation is a dramatic example of coordinated cell death. Weaning causes distension of the alveolar structures due to the accumulation of milk, which, in turn, activates STAT3 and initiates a caspase-independent but lysosome-dependent cell death (LDCD) pathway. Although the importance of STAT3 and LDCD in early mammary involution is well established, it has not been entirely clear how milk stasis activates STAT3. In this report, we demonstrate that protein levels of the PMCA2 calcium pump are significantly downregulated within 2-4 h of experimental milk stasis. Reductions in PMCA2 expression correlate with an increase in cytoplasmic calcium in vivo as measured by multiphoton intravital imaging of GCaMP6f fluorescence. These events occur concomitant with the appearance of nuclear pSTAT3 expression but prior to significant activation of LDCD or its previously implicated mediators such as LIF, IL6, and TGFβ3, all of which appear to be upregulated by increased intracellular calcium. We further demonstrate that increased intracellular calcium activates STAT3 by inducing degradation of its negative regulator, SOCS3. We also observed that milk stasis, loss of PMCA2 expression and increased intracellular calcium levels activate TFEB, an important regulator of lysosome biogenesis through a process involving inhibition of CDK4/6 and cell cycle progression. In summary, these data suggest that intracellular calcium serves as an important proximal biochemical signal linking milk stasis to STAT3 activation, increased lysosomal biogenesis, and lysosome-mediated cell death.

Abstract
Impaired autophagy, due to the dysfunction of lysosomal organelles, contributes to maladaptive responses by pathways central to the immune system. Deciphering the immune-inflammatory ecosystem is essential, but remains a major challenge in terms of understanding the mechanisms responsible for autoimmune diseases. Accumulating evidence implicates a role that is played by a dysfunctional autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) and an immune niche in psoriasis (Ps), one of the most common chronic skin diseases, characterized by the co-existence of autoimmune and autoinflammatory responses. The dysregulated autophagy associated with the defective lysosomal system is only one aspect of Ps pathogenesis. It probably cannot fully explain the pathomechanism involved in Ps, but it is likely important and should be seriously considered in Ps research. This review provides a recent update on discoveries in the field. Also, it sheds light on how the dysregulation of intracellular pathways, coming from modulated autophagy and endolysosomal trafficking, characteristic of key players of the disease, i.e., skin-resident cells, as well as circulating immune cells, may be responsible for immune impairment and the development of Ps.

Abstract
CDK4, along with its regulatory subunit, cyclin D, drives the transition from G1 to S phase, during which DNA replication and metabolic activation occur. In this canonical pathway, CDK4 is essentially a transcriptional regulator that acts through phosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein (RB) and subsequent activation of the transcription factor E2F, ultimately triggering the expression of genes involved in DNA synthesis and cell cycle progression to S phase. In this review, we focus on the newly reported functions of CDK4, which go beyond direct regulation of the cell cycle. In particular, we describe the extranuclear roles of CDK4, including its roles in the regulation of metabolism, cell fate, cell dynamics and the tumor microenvironment. We describe direct phosphorylation targets of CDK4 and decipher how CDK4 influences these physiological processes in the context of cancer.

Abstract
Transcription factor EB (TFEB) is a basic helix-loop-helix leucine zipper transcription factor that acts as a master regulator of lysosomal biogenesis, lysosomal exocytosis, and macro-autophagy. TFEB contributes to a wide range of physiological functions, including mitochondrial biogenesis and innate and adaptive immunity. As such, TFEB is an essential component of cellular adaptation to stressors, ranging from nutrient deprivation to pathogenic invasion. The activity of TFEB depends on its subcellular localisation, turnover, and DNA-binding capacity, all of which are regulated at the post-translational level. Pathological states are characterised by a specific set of stressors, which elicit post-translational modifications that promote gain or loss of TFEB function in the affected tissue. In turn, the resulting increase or decrease in survival of the tissue in which TFEB is more or less active, respectively, may either benefit or harm the organism as a whole. In this way, the post-translational modifications of TFEB account for its otherwise paradoxical protective and deleterious effects on organismal fitness in diseases ranging from neurodegeneration to cancer. In this review, we describe how the intracellular environment characteristic of different diseases alters the post-translational modification profile of TFEB, enabling cellular adaptation to a particular pathological state.

Abstract
The approval of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) in combination with endocrine therapy (ET) has remarkably improved the survival outcomes of patients with advanced hormone receptor-positive (HR+) breast cancer (BC), becoming the new standard of care treatment in these patients. Despite the efficacy of this therapeutic combination, intrinsic and acquired resistance inevitably occurs and represents a major clinical challenge. Several mechanisms associated with resistance to CDK4/6i have been identified, including both cell cycle-related and cell cycle-nonspecific mechanisms. This review discusses new insights underlying the mechanisms of action of CDK4/6i, which are more far-reaching than initially thought, and the currently available evidence of the mechanisms of resistance to CDK4/6i in BC. Finally, it highlights possible treatment strategies to improve CDK4/6i efficacy, summarizing the most relevant clinical data on novel combination therapies involving CDK4/6i.

Abstract
The microphthalmia/transcription factor E (MiT/TFE) transcription factors (TFs; TFEB, TFE3, MITF, and TFEC) play a central role in cellular catabolism and quality control and are subject to extensive layers of regulation that influence their localization, stability, and activity. Recent studies have highlighted a broader role for these TFs in driving diverse stress-adaptation pathways, which manifest in a context- and tissue-dependent manner. Several human cancers upregulate the MiT/TFE factors to survive extreme fluctuations in nutrients, energy, and pharmacological challenges. Emerging data suggest that reduced activity of the MiT/TFE factors can also promote tumorigenesis. Here, we outline recent findings relating to novel mechanisms of regulation and activity of MiT/TFE proteins across some of the most aggressive human cancers.

Abstract
Background: Microvascular damage is a key pathological factor in acute lower limb ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Current evidence suggests that sulforaphane (SFN) protects tissue from I/R injury. However, the role of SFN in acute lower limb I/R injury remains elusive. This study aimed to investigate the role and potential mechanism of SFN in I/R-related microvascular damage in the limb. Methods: Limb viability was evaluated by laser Doppler imaging, tissue edema analysis and histological analysis. Western blotting and immunofluorescence were applied to analyze the levels of apoptosis, oxidative stress, autophagy, transcription factor EB (TFEB) activity and mucolipin 1 (MCOLN1)-calcineurin signaling pathway. Results: SFN administration significantly ameliorated I/R-induced hypoperfusion, tissue edema, skeletal muscle fiber injury and endothelial cell (EC) damage in the limb. Pharmacological inhibition of NFE2L2 (nuclear factor, erythroid 2 like 2) reversed the anti-oxidation and anti-apoptosis effects of SFN on ECs. Additionally, silencing of TFEB by interfering RNA abolished the SFN-induced autophagy restoration, anti-oxidant response and anti-apoptosis effects on ECs. Furthermore, silencing of MCOLN1 by interfering RNA and pharmacological inhibition of calcineurin inhibited the activity of TFEB induced by SFN, demonstrating that SFN regulates the activity of TFEB through the MCOLN1-calcineurin signaling pathway. Conclusion: SFN protects microvascular ECs against I/R injury by TFEB-mediated autophagy restoration and anti-oxidant response.

Abstract
Dysregulated biological behaviors of trophoblast cells can result in recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA)-whose underlying etiology still remains insufficient. Autophagy, a conserved intracellular physiological process, is precisely monitored throughout whole pregnancy. Although the exact mechanism or role remains elusive, epigenetic modification has emerged as an important process. Herein, we found that a proportion of RSA patients exhibited higher levels of autophagy in villus tissues compared to controls, accompanied with impaired histone deacetylase (HDAC) expression. The purpose of this study is to explore the connection between HDACs and autophagy in the pathological course of RSA. Mechanistically, using human trophoblast cell models, treatment with HDAC inhibitor (HDACI)-trichostatin A (TSA) can induce autophagy by promoting nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity of the central autophagic regulator transcription factor EB (TFEB). Specifically, overactivated autophagy is involved in the TSA-driven growth inhibition of trophoblast, which can be partially reversed by the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CQ) or RNA interference of TFEB. In summary, our results reveal that abnormal acetylation and autophagy levels during early gestation may be associated with RSA and suggest the potential novel molecular target TFEB for RSA treatment.

Biochim Biophys Acta Mol Cell Biol Lipids 2023:159364. [PMID: 37433343 DOI: 10.1016/j.bbalip.2023.159364] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/10/2023] [Revised: 06/10/2023] [Accepted: 07/04/2023] [Indexed: 07/13/2023]
Abstract
Adipocyte browning increases energy expenditure by thermogenesis, which has been considered a potential strategy against obesity and its related metabolic diseases. Phytochemicals derived from natural products with the ability to improve adipocyte thermogenesis have aroused extensive attention. Acteoside (Act), a phenylethanoid glycoside, exists in various medicinal or edible plants and has been shown to regulate metabolic disorders. Here, the browning effect of Act was evaluated by stimulating beige cell differentiation from the stromal vascular fraction (SVF) in the inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) and 3 T3-L1 preadipocytes, and by converting the iWAT-SVF derived mature white adipocytes. Act improves adipocyte browning by differentiation of the stem/progenitors into beige cells and by direct conversion of mature white adipocytes into beige cells. Mechanistically, Act inhibited CDK6 and mTOR, and consequently relieved phosphorylation of the transcription factor EB (TFEB) and increased its nuclear retention, leading to induction of PGC-1α, a driver of mitochondrial biogenesis, and UCP1-dependent browning. These data thus unveil a CDK6-mTORC1-TFEB pathway that regulates Act-induced adipocyte browning.

Phosphorylation of EIF2S1 (eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit alpha) is indispensable for nuclear translocation of TFEB and TFE3 during ER stress. Autophagy 2023; 19:2111-2142. [PMID: 36719671 PMCID: PMC10283430 DOI: 10.1080/15548627.2023.2173900] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/27/2022] [Revised: 01/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
There are diverse links between macroautophagy/autophagy pathways and unfolded protein response (UPR) pathways under endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress conditions to restore ER homeostasis. Phosphorylation of EIF2S1/eIF2α is an important mechanism that can regulate all three UPR pathways through transcriptional and translational reprogramming to maintain cellular homeostasis and overcome cellular stresses. In this study, to investigate the roles of EIF2S1 phosphorylation in regulation of autophagy during ER stress, we used EIF2S1 phosphorylation-deficient (A/A) cells in which residue 51 was mutated from serine to alanine. A/A cells exhibited defects in several steps of autophagic processes (such as autophagosome and autolysosome formation) that are regulated by the transcriptional activities of the autophagy master transcription factors TFEB and TFE3 under ER stress conditions. EIF2S1 phosphorylation was required for nuclear translocation of TFEB and TFE3 during ER stress. In addition, EIF2AK3/PERK, PPP3/calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation of TFEB and TFE3, and YWHA/14-3-3 dissociation were required for their nuclear translocation, but were insufficient to induce their nuclear retention during ER stress. Overexpression of the activated ATF6/ATF6α form, XBP1s, and ATF4 differentially rescued defects of TFEB and TFE3 nuclear translocation in A/A cells during ER stress. Consequently, overexpression of the activated ATF6 or TFEB form more efficiently rescued autophagic defects, although XBP1s and ATF4 also displayed an ability to restore autophagy in A/A cells during ER stress. Our results suggest that EIF2S1 phosphorylation is important for autophagy and UPR pathways, to restore ER homeostasis and reveal how EIF2S1 phosphorylation connects UPR pathways to autophagy.Abbreviations: A/A: EIF2S1 phosphorylation-deficient; ACTB: actin beta; Ad-: adenovirus-; ATF6: activating transcription factor 6; ATZ: SERPINA1/α1-antitrypsin with an E342K (Z) mutation; Baf A1: bafilomycin A1; BSA: bovine serum albumin; CDK4: cyclin dependent kinase 4; CDK6: cyclin dependent kinase 6; CHX: cycloheximide; CLEAR: coordinated lysosomal expression and regulation; Co-IP: coimmunoprecipitation; CTSB: cathepsin B; CTSD: cathepsin D; CTSL: cathepsin L; DAPI: 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride; DMEM: Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium; DMSO: dimethyl sulfoxide; DTT: dithiothreitol; EBSS: Earle's Balanced Salt Solution; EGFP: enhanced green fluorescent protein; EIF2S1/eIF2α: eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 subunit alpha; EIF2AK3/PERK: eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha kinase 3; ER: endoplasmic reticulum; ERAD: endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation; ERN1/IRE1α: endoplasmic reticulum to nucleus signaling 1; FBS: fetal bovine serum; gRNA: guide RNA; GSK3B/GSK3β: glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta; HA: hemagglutinin; Hep: immortalized hepatocyte; IF: immunofluorescence; IRES: internal ribosome entry site; KO: knockout; LAMP1: lysosomal associated membrane protein 1; LMB: leptomycin B; LPS: lipopolysaccharide; MAP1LC3A/B/LC3A/B: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 alpha/beta; MAP1LC3B/LC3B: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; MEFs: mouse embryonic fibroblasts; MFI: mean fluorescence intensity; MTORC1: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase complex 1; NES: nuclear export signal; NFE2L2/NRF2: NFE2 like bZIP transcription factor 2; OE: overexpression; PBS: phosphate-buffered saline; PLA: proximity ligation assay; PPP3/calcineurin: protein phosphatase 3; PTM: post-translational modification; SDS: sodium dodecyl sulfate; SDS-PAGE: sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis; SEM: standard error of the mean; TEM: transmission electron microscopy; TFE3: transcription factor E3; TFEB: transcription factor EB; TFs: transcription factors; Tg: thapsigargin; Tm: tunicamycin; UPR: unfolded protein response; WB: western blot; WT: wild-type; Xbp1s: spliced Xbp1; XPO1/CRM1: exportin 1.

JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2023; 307:116259. [PMID: 36781055 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2023.116259] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2022] [Revised: 01/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/07/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Hypericum perforatum L. (genus Hypericum, family Hypericaceae) is a flowering plant native to Europe, North Africa and Asia, which can be used in the treatment of psychiatric disorder, cardiothoracic depression and diabetes. Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge (genus Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge, family Rosaceae) was another traditional Chinese medicine for treating hyperlipidemia. Hyperoside (Hype), a major flavonoid glycoside component of Hypericum perforatum L. and Crataegus pinnatifida Bunge, possesses multiple physiological activities, such as anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. However, the role of Hype on obesity and related metabolic diseases still needs to be further investigated. AIM OF THE STUDY We explored the effect of Hype on high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obesity and its metabolic regulation on white fat tissues. MATERIALS AND METHODS In vivo four-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were randomly assigned to vehicle (0.5% methycellulose) and Hype (80 mg/kg/day by gavage) group under a normal chow diet (NCD) or HFD for 8 weeks. In vitro, 3T3-L1 preadipocyte cell line and primary stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cells from inguinal white adipose tissue (iWAT) of mice were used to investigate the molecular mechanisms of Hype regulation on adipocyte energy metabolism. RESULTS Hype treatment in vivo promotes UCP1-dependent white to beige fat transition, increases glucose and lipid metabolism, and resists HFD-induced obesity. Meanwhile, Hype induces lipophagy, a specific autophagy that facilitates the breakdown of lipid droplets, and blocking autophagy partially reduces UCP1 expression. Mechanistically, Hype inhibited CDK6, leading to the increased nuclear translocation of TFEB, while overexpression of CDK6 partially reversed the enhancement of UCP1 by Hype. CONCLUSIONS Hype protects mice from HFD-induced obesity by increasing energy expenditure of white fat tissue via CDK6-TFEB pathway.

Abstract
The accumulation of senescent cells is recognised as a driver of tissue and organismal ageing. One of the gold-standard hallmarks of a senescent cell is an increase in lysosomal content, as measured by senescence-associated β-galactosidase (Senβ-Gal) activity. The lysosome plays a central role in integrating mitogenic and stress cues to control cell metabolism, which is known to be dysregulated in senescence. Despite this, little is known about the cause and consequence of lysosomal biogenesis in senescence. We find here that lysosomes in senescent cells are dysfunctional; they have higher pH, increased evidence of membrane damage and reduced proteolytic capacity. The significant increase in lysosomal content is however sufficient to maintain degradative capacity of the cell to a level comparable to proliferating control cells. We demonstrate that increased nuclear TFEB/TFE3 supports lysosome biogenesis, is a hallmark of multiple forms of senescence and is required for senescent cell survival. TFEB/TFE3 are hypo-phosphorylated and show constitutive nuclear localisation in senescence. Evidence suggests that several pathways may contribute to TFEB/TFE3 dysregulation in senescence.

Isoginkgetin, a potential CDK6 inhibitor, suppresses SLC2A1/GLUT1 enhancer activity to induce AMPK-ULK1-mediated cytotoxic autophagy in hepatocellular carcinoma. Autophagy 2023; 19:1221-1238. [PMID: 36048765 PMCID: PMC10012924 DOI: 10.1080/15548627.2022.2119353] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2022] [Revised: 08/24/2022] [Accepted: 08/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Isoginkgetin (ISO), a natural biflavonoid, exhibited cytotoxic activity against several types of cancer cells. However, its effects on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and mechanism remain unclear. Here, we revealed that ISO effectively inhibited HCC cell proliferation and migration in vitro. LC3-II expression and autophagosomes were increased under ISO treatment. In addition, ISO-induced cell death was attenuated by treatment with chloroquine or knockdown of autophagy-related genes (ATG5 or ULK1). ISO significantly suppressed SLC2A1/GLUT1 (solute carrier family 2 member 1) expression and glucose uptake, leading to activation of the AMPK-ULK1 axis in HepG2 cells. Overexpression of SLC2A1/GLUT1 abrogated ISO-induced autophagy. Combining molecular docking with thermal shift analysis, we confirmed that ISO directly bound to the N terminus of CDK6 (cyclin-dependent kinase 6) and promoted its degradation. Overexpression of CDK6 abrogated ISO-induced inhibition of SLC2A1/GLUT1 transcription and induction of autophagy. Furthermore, ISO treatment significantly decreased the H3K27ac, H4K8ac and H3K4me1 levels on the SLC2A1/GLUT1 enhancer in HepG2 cells. Finally, ISO suppressed the hepatocarcinogenesis in the HepG2 xenograft mice and the diethylnitrosamine+carbon tetrachloride (DEN+CCl4)-induced primary HCC mice and we confirmed SLC2A1/GLUT1 and CDK6 as promising oncogenes in HCC by analysis of TCGA data and human HCC tissues. Our results provide a new molecular mechanism by which ISO treatment or CDK6 deletion promotes autophagy; that is, ISO targeting the N terminus of CDK6 for degradation inhibits the expression of SLC2A1/GLUT1 by decreasing the enhancer activity of SLC2A1/GLUT1, resulting in decreased glucose levels and inducing the AMPK-ULK1 pathway.

Abstract
Excessive fluoride exposure can cause liver injury, but the specific mechanisms need further investigation. We aimed to explore the role of impaired lysosomal biogenesis and defective autophagy in fluoride-induced hepatotoxicity and its potential mechanisms, focusing on the role of transcription factor E3 (TFE3) in regulating hepatocyte lysosomal biogenesis. To this end, we established a Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat model exposed to sodium fluoride (NaF) and a rat liver cell line (BRL3A) model exposed to NaF. The results showed that NaF exposure diminished liver function and led to apoptosis as well as autophagosome accumulation and impaired autophagic degradation. In addition, NaF exposure caused compromised lysosome biogenesis and decreased lysosomal degradation, and inhibited TFE3 nuclear translocation. Notably, the mTOR inhibitors rapamycin (RAPA) and Ad-TFE3 promoted lysosomal biogenesis and enhanced lysosomal degradation function. Furthermore, RAPA and Ad-TFE3 reduced NaF-induced apoptosis by alleviating impaired autophagic degradation. In conclusion, NaF impairs lysosomal biogenesis by inhibiting TFE3 nuclear translocation, decreasing lysosomal degradation function, resulting in impaired autophagic degradation, and ultimately inducing apoptosis. Therefore, TFE3 may be a promising therapeutic target for fluoride-induced hepatotoxicity.

Abstract
Recent advances in proteogenomic techniques and bioinformatic pipelines have permitted the detection of thousands of translated small Open Reading Frames (smORFs), which contain less than 100 codons, in eukaryotic genomes. Hundreds of these actively translated smORFs display conserved sequence, structure and evolutionary signatures indicating that the translated peptides could fulfil important biological roles. Despite their abundance, only tens of smORF genes have been fully characterised; these act mainly as regulators of canonical proteins involved in essential cellular processes. Importantly, some of these smORFs display conserved functions with their mutations being associated with pathogenesis. Thus, investigating smORF roles in Drosophila will not only expand our understanding of their functions but it may have an impact in human health. Here we describe the function of a novel and essential Drosophila smORF gene named purriato (prto). prto belongs to an ancient gene family whose members have expanded throughout the Protostomia clade. prto encodes a transmembrane peptide which is localized in endo-lysosomes and perinuclear and plasma membranes. prto is dynamically expressed in mesodermal tissues and imaginal discs. Targeted prto knockdown (KD) in these organs results in changes in nuclear morphology and endo-lysosomal distributions correlating with the loss of sarcomeric homeostasis in muscles and reduction of mitosis in wing discs. Consequently, prto KD mutants display severe reduction of motility, and shorter wings. Finally, our genetic interaction experiments show that prto function is closely associated to the CASA pathway, a conserved mechanism involved in turnover of mis-folded proteins and linked to muscle dystrophies and neurodegenerative diseases. Thus, this study shows the relevance of smORFs in regulating important cellular functions and supports the systematic characterisation of this class of genes to understand their functions and evolution.

Abstract
The transcription factor EB (TFEB) regulates energy homeostasis and cellular response to a wide variety of stress conditions, including nutrient deprivation, oxidative stress, organelle damage, and pathogens. Here we identify S401 as a novel phosphorylation site within the TFEB proline-rich domain. Phosphorylation of S401 increases significantly in response to oxidative stress, UVC light, growth factors, and LPS, whereas this increase is prevented by p38 MAPK inhibition or depletion, revealing a new role for p38 MAPK in TFEB regulation. Mutation of S401 in THP1 cells demonstrates that the p38 MAPK/TFEB pathway plays a particularly relevant role during monocyte differentiation into macrophages. TFEB-S401A monocytes fail to upregulate the expression of multiple immune genes in response to PMA-induced differentiation, including critical cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. Polarization of M0 macrophages into M1 inflammatory macrophages is also aberrant in TFEB-S401A cells. These results indicate that TFEB-S401 phosphorylation links differentiation signals to the transcriptional control of monocyte differentiation.

Abstract
During early embryogenesis, as cells divide in the developing embryo, the size of intracellular organelles generally decreases to scale with the decrease in overall cell size. Organelle size scaling is thought to be important to establish and maintain proper cellular function, and defective scaling may lead to impaired development and disease. However, how the cell regulates organelle size and organization are largely unanswered questions. In this review, we summarize the process of size scaling at both the cell and organelle levels and discuss recently discovered mechanisms that regulate this process during early embryogenesis. In addition, we describe how some recently developed techniques and Xenopus as an animal model can be used to investigate the underlying mechanisms of size regulation and to uncover the significance of proper organelle size scaling and organization.

[PMID: 36674718 PMCID: PMC9861963 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24021205] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/04/2022] [Revised: 12/29/2022] [Accepted: 01/05/2023] [Indexed: 01/10/2023] Open
Abstract
Our previous studies have confirmed that cadmium (Cd) exposure causes hepatotoxicity; it also induces autophagy and blocks the autophagy flux. Therefore, we hypothesized that Cd hepatotoxicity could be alleviated through nutritional intervention. Taurine (Tau) has various biological functions such as acting as an antioxidant, acting as an anti-inflammatory, and stabilizing cell membranes. In order to explore the protective effect and internal mechanism of Tau on Cd-induced hepatotoxicity, normal rat liver cell line BRL3A cells were treated with Cd alone or in combination with Tau to detect cell injury and autophagy-related indexes in this study. We found that Tau can alleviate Cd-induced cell-proliferation decline and morphological changes in the cell. In addition, Tau activates autophagy and alleviates the blockage of Cd-induced autophagy flux. In this process, lysosome acidification and degradation were enhanced, and autophagosomes were further fused with lysosomes. Then, we found that Tau alleviated autophagic flux block by promoting the transfer of membrane fusion proteins STX17 and SNAP29 to autophagosomes and the translocation of VAMP8 to lysosomes, which in turn attenuated the hepatocyte injury induced by Cd exposure. This will further reveal the hepatotoxicity mechanism of Cd and provide the theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of Cd poisoning.

Abstract
Transcription factor EB, as a component of the microphthalmia family of transcription factors, has been demonstrated to be a key controller of autophagy-lysosomal biogenesis. Transcription factor EB is activated by stressors such as nutrition and deprivation of growth factors, hypoxia, lysosomal stress, and mitochondrial injury. To achieve the ultimate functional state, it is controlled in a variety of modes, such as in its rate of transcription, post-transcriptional control, and post-translational alterations. Due to its versatile role in numerous signaling pathways, including the Wnt, calcium, AKT, and mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 signaling pathways, transcription factor EB-originally identified to be an oncogene-is now well acknowledged as a regulator of a wide range of physiological systems, including autophagy-lysosomal biogenesis, response to stress, metabolism, and energy homeostasis. The well-known and recently identified roles of transcription factor EB suggest that this protein might play a central role in signaling networks in a number of non-communicable illnesses, such as cancer, cardiovascular disorders, drug resistance mechanisms, immunological disease, and tissue growth. The important developments in transcription factor EB research since its first description are described in this review. This review helps to advance transcription factor EB from fundamental research into therapeutic and regenerative applications by shedding light on how important a role it plays in human health and disease at the molecular level.

Abstract
The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling hub integrates multiple environmental cues to modulate cell growth and metabolism. Over the past decade considerable knowledge has been gained on the mechanisms modulating mTORC1 lysosomal recruitment and activation. However, whether and how mTORC1 is able to elicit selective responses to diverse signals has remained elusive until recently. We discuss emerging evidence for a 'non-canonical' mTORC1 signaling pathway that controls the function of microphthalmia/transcription factor E (MiT-TFE) transcription factors, key regulators of cell metabolism. This signaling pathway is mediated by a specific mechanism of substrate recruitment, and responds to stimuli that appear to converge on the lysosomal surface. We discuss the relevance of this pathway in physiological and disease conditions.

TFEB acetylation promotes lysosome biogenesis and ameliorates Alzheimer's disease-relevant phenotypes in mice. J Biol Chem 2022; 298:102649.

Abstract
Lysosomes are one of the major centers for regulating cargo degradation and protein quality control. Transcription factor EB (TFEB)-promoted lysosome biogenesis enhances lysosome-mediated degradation and alleviates neurodegenerative diseases, but the mechanisms underlying TFEB modification and activation are still poorly understood. Here, we report essential roles of TFEB acetylation in TFEB nuclear translocation and lysosome biogenesis, which are independent of TFEB dephosphorylation. By screening small molecules, we find that Trichostatin A (TSA), the pan-inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs), promotes nuclear translocation of TFEB. TSA enhances the staining of cells by LysoTracker Red and increases the expression of lysosomal and autophagic genes. We identify four novel acetylated lysine residues in TFEB, which are important for TFEB nuclear translocation and lysosome biogenesis. We show that TFEB acetylation is regulated by HDACs (HDAC5, HDAC6, and HDAC9) and lysine acetyltransferases (KATs), including ELP3, CREBBP, and HAT1. During TSA-induced cytosol-to-nucleus translocation of TFEB, acetylation is independent of TFEB dephosphorylation, since the mTORC1- or GSK3β-related phosphorylation sites on TFEB are still phosphorylated. Administration of TSA to APP/PS1 mice increases the expression of lysosomal and autophagic genes in mouse brains and also improves memory. Accordingly, the β-amyloid plaque burden is decreased. These results show that the acetylation of TFEB, as a novel mechanism of TFEB activation, promotes lysosome biogenesis and alleviates the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. Our results also suggest that HDAC inhibition can promote lysosome biogenesis, and this may be a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and disorders related to HDAC hyperactivation.

Abstract
The cattle during the perinatal period, as well as malnutrition, generate oxidative stress which leads to high culling rates of calves after calving across the world. Although metabolic diseases have such a negative impact on the welfare and economic value of dairy cattle, that becomes a serious industrial concern across the world. According to research, genetic factors have a role or controlling fat deposition in the liver by influencing the biological processes of hepatic lipid metabolism, insulin resistance, gluconeogenesis, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and inflammation, all of which contribute to hepatic damage. This review focuses on the critical regulatory mechanisms of VEGF, mTOR/AKT/p53, TNF-alpha, Nf-kb, interleukin, and antioxidants that regulate lipid peroxidation in the liver via direct or indirect pathways, suggesting that they could be a potential critical therapeutic target for hepatic disease.

Abstract
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder accompanied by the loss and apoptosis of neurons. Neurons abnormally enter the cell cycle, which results in neuronal apoptosis during the course of AD development and progression. However, the mechanisms underlying cell cycle re-entry have been poorly studied. Using neuroblastoma (N) 2aSW and APP/PS1 transgenic (Tg) mice as in vitro and in vivo AD models, we found that the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK)1/2/4 and cyclin A2/B1/D3/E1 was increased while the protein expression of p18 and p21 was decreased, which led to enhanced cell cycle re-entry in a β-amyloid protein (Aβ)-dependent mechanism. By preparing and treating with the temperature-sensitive chitosan-encapsulated drug delivery system (CS), the abnormal expression of CDK1/2/4, cyclin A2/B1/D3/E1 and p18/21 was partially restored by acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), which decreased the apoptosis of neurons in APP/PS1 Tg mice. Moreover, CDK4 and p21 mediated the effects of ASA on activating transcription factor (TF) EB via peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) α, thus leading to the uptake of Aβ by astrocytes in a low-density lipoprotein receptor (Ldlr)-dependent mechanism. Moreover, the mechanisms of Aβ-degrading mechanisms are activated, including the production of microtubule-associated protein light chain (LC) 3II and Lamp2 protein by ASA in a PPARα-activated TFEB-dependent manner. All these actions contribute to decreasing the production and deposition of Aβ, thus leading to improved cognitive decline in APP/PS1 Tg mice.

Abstract
The autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) is involved in the degradation of protein aggregates and damaged organelles. Transcription factor EB (TFEB), a major regulator of ALP, has emerged as a leading factor in addressing neurodegenerative disease pathology, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), PolyQ diseases, and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this review, we delineate the regulation of TFEB expression and its functions in ALP. Dysfunctions of TFEB and its role in the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative diseases are reviewed. We summarize the protective effects and molecular mechanisms of some TFEB-targeted agonists in neurodegenerative diseases. We also offer our perspective on analyzing the pros and cons of these agonists in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases from the perspective of drug development. More studies on the regulatory mechanisms of TFEB in other biological processes will aid our understanding of the application of TFEB-targeted therapy in neurodegeneration.

Abstract
Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a serine-threonine kinase and a cellular sensor for nutrient and energy status, which is critical in regulating cell metabolism and growth by governing the anabolic (protein and lipid synthesis) and catabolic process (autophagy). Alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) is a major chronic liver disease worldwide that carries a huge financial burden. The spectrum of the pathogenesis of ALD includes steatosis, fibrosis, inflammation, ductular reaction, and eventual hepatocellular carcinoma, which is closely associated with metabolic changes that are regulated by mTOR. In this review, we summarized recent progress of alcohol consumption on the changes of mTORC1 and mTORC2 activity, the potential mechanisms and possible impact of the mTORC1 changes on autophagy in ALD. We also discussed the potential beneficial effects and limitations of targeting mTORC1 against ALD.

Abstract
Cellular quiescence-reversible exit from the cell cycle-is an important feature of many cell types important for organismal health. Quiescent cells activate protective mechanisms that allow their persistence in the absence of growth and division for long periods of time. Aging and cellular dysfunction compromise the survival and re-activation of quiescent cells over time. Counteracting this decline are two interconnected organelles that lie at opposite ends of the secretory pathway: the endoplasmic reticulum and lysosomes. In this review, we highlight recent studies exploring the roles of these two organelles in quiescent cells from diverse contexts and speculate on potential other roles they may play, such as through organelle contact sites. Finally, we discuss emerging models of cellular quiescence, utilizing new cell culture systems and model organisms, that are suited to the mechanistic investigation of the functions of these organelles in quiescent cells.

Abstract
Activated autophagy-lysosomal pathway (ALP) can degrade virtually all kinds of cellular components, including intracellular lipid droplets, especially during catabolic conditions. Sustained lipolysis and increased plasma fatty acids concentrations are characteristic of dairy cows with hyperketonemia. However, the status of ALP in adipose tissue during this physiological condition is not well known. The present study aimed to ascertain whether lipolysis is associated with activation of ALP in adipose tissues of dairy cows with hyperketonemia and in calf adipocytes. In vivo, blood and subcutaneous adipose tissue (SAT) biopsies were collected from nonhyperketonemic (nonHYK) cows [blood β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentration <1.2 mM, n = 10] and hyperketonemic (HYK) cows (blood BHB concentration 1.2-3.0 mM, n = 10) with similar days in milk (range: 3-9) and parity (range: 2-4). In vitro, calf adipocytes isolated from 5 healthy Holstein calves (1 d old, female, 30-40 kg) were differentiated and used for (1) treatment with lipolysis inducer isoproterenol (ISO, 10 µM, 3 h) or mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitor Torin1 (250 nM, 3 h), and (2) pretreatment with or without the ALP inhibitor leupeptin (10 μg/mL, 4 h) followed by ISO (10 µM, 3 h) treatment. Compared with nonHYK cows, serum concentration of free fatty acids was greater and serum glucose concentration, DMI, and milk yield were lower in HYK cows. In SAT of HYK cows, ratio of phosphorylated hormone-sensitive lipase to hormone-sensitive lipase, and protein abundance of adipose triacylglycerol lipase were greater, but protein abundance of perilipin 1 (PLIN1) and cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor-α-like effector c (CIDEC) was lower. In addition, mRNA abundance of autophagy-related 5 (ATG5), autophagy-related 7 (ATG7), and microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta (MAP1LC3B), protein abundance of lysosome-associated membrane protein 1, and cathepsin D, and activity of β-N-acetylglucosaminidase were greater, whereas protein abundance of sequestosome-1 (p62) was lower in SAT of HYK cows. In calf adipocytes, treatment with ISO or Torin1 decreased protein abundance of PLIN1, and CIDEC, and triacylglycerol content in calf adipocytes, but increased glycerol content in the supernatant of calf adipocytes. Moreover, the mRNA abundance of ATG5, ATG7, and MAP1LC3B was upregulated, the protein abundance of lysosome-associated membrane protein 1, cathepsin D, and activity of β-N-acetylglucosaminidase were increased, whereas the protein abundance of p62 was decreased in calf adipocytes treated with ISO or Torin1 compared with control group. Compared with treatment with ISO alone, the protein abundance of p62, PLIN1, and CIDEC, and triacylglycerol content in calf adipocytes were higher, but the glycerol content in the supernatant of calf adipocytes was lower in ISO and leupeptin co-treated group. Overall, these data indicated that activated ALP is associated with increased lipolysis in adipose tissues of dairy cows with hyperketonemia and in calf adipocytes.

Abstract
Transcription factor EB (TFEB) belongs to the microphthalmia family of bHLH-leucine zipper transcription factors and was first identified as an oncogene in a subset of renal cell carcinomas. In addition to exhibiting oncogenic activity, TFEB coordinates genetic programs connected with the cellular response to stress conditions, including roles in lysosome biogenesis, autophagy, modulation of metabolism. As is the case for other transcription factors, the activities of TFEB are not limited to a specific cellular condition such as the response to stress and recent findings indicate that TFEB has more widespread functions. Here, we review the emerging roles of TFEB in regulating cellular proliferation and motility. The well-established and emerging roles of TFEB suggest that this protein serves as a hub of signalling networks involved in many non-communicable diseases, such as cancer, ischaemic diseases and immune disorders, drug resistance mechanisms, and tissue generation.

Abstract
Lysosomes, now known to take part in multiple cellular functions, also respond to various stress stimuli. These include biogenesis in response to nanomolar concentrations of hydrophobic weak-base anticancer drugs. However, since lysosomal stress mediated by accumulation of weak-base drugs at such concentrations has never been proven and these drugs have diverse effects on malignant cells, we investigated whether the interpretation of the data was true. We found that lysosomal accumulation of the drugs daunorubicin, doxorubicin, mitoxantrone, symadex, chloroquine, clomipramine and sunitinib alone, was insufficient to induce lysosomal alkalization i.e., lysosomal stress-mediated biogenesis at nanomolar concentrations. Instead, we found that some of the drugs used induced G2 phase arrest and lysosomal biogenesis that is associated with activation of transcription factor EB (TFEB). Similarly, cantharidin, a control compound that does not belong to the weak base drugs, induced cell cycle arrest in the G2 phase associated with TFEB-driven lysosomal biogenesis. Overall none of the tested drugs caused stress-induced lysosomal biogenesis at nanomolar concentrations. However, daunorubicin, doxorubicin, mitoxantrone, symadex and cantharidin induced a massive block in the G2 phase of the cell cycle which is naturally associated with TFEB-driven lysosomal biogenesis.

Abstract
Renal cell carcinoma with Xp11.2 translocation involving the TFE3 gene (TFE3-RCC) is a recently identified subset of RCC with unique morphology and clinical presentation. The chimeric PRCC-TFE3 protein produced by Xp11.2 translocation has been shown to transcriptionally activate its downstream target genes that play important roles in carcinogenesis and tumor development of TFE3-RCC. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we show that in TFE3-RCC cells, PRCC-TFE3 controls heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) expression to confer chemoresistance. Inhibition of HMOX1 sensitized the PRCC-TFE3 expressing cells to genotoxic reagents. We screened for a novel chlorambucil-polyamide conjugate (Chb) to target PRCC-TFE3-dependent transcription, and identified Chb16 as a PRCC-TFE3-dependent transcriptional inhibitor of HMOX1 expression. Treatment of the patient-derived cancer cells with Chb16 exhibited senescence and growth arrest, and increased sensitivity of the TFE3-RCC cells to the genotoxic reagent etoposide. Thus, our data showed that the TFE3-RCC cells acquired chemoresistance through HMOX1 expression and that inhibition of HMOX1 by Chb16 may be an effective therapeutic strategy for TFE3-RCC.

Abstract
Cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4) and CDK6 are critical mediators of cellular transition into S phase and are important for the initiation, growth and survival of many cancer types. Pharmacological inhibitors of CDK4/6 have rapidly become a new standard of care for patients with advanced hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. As expected, CDK4/6 inhibitors arrest sensitive tumour cells in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. However, the effects of CDK4/6 inhibition are far more wide-reaching. New insights into their mechanisms of action have triggered identification of new therapeutic opportunities, including the development of novel combination regimens, expanded application to a broader range of cancers and use as supportive care to ameliorate the toxic effects of other therapies. Exploring these new opportunities in the clinic is an urgent priority, which in many cases has not been adequately addressed. Here, we provide a framework for conceptualizing the activity of CDK4/6 inhibitors in cancer and explain how this framework might shape the future clinical development of these agents. We also discuss the biological underpinnings of CDK4/6 inhibitor resistance, an increasingly common challenge in clinical oncology.

Abstract
Background Autophagy plays an essential role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and in the response to cellular stress. Autophagy is also involved in cell cycle progression, yet the relationship between these processes is not clearly defined. Results In exploring this relationship, we observed that the inhibition of autophagy impaired the G2/M phase-arresting activity of etoposide but enhanced the G1 phase-arresting activity of palbociclib. We further investigated the connection of basal autophagy and cell cycle by utilizing the autophagosome tracer dye Cyto-ID in two ways. First, we established a double-labeling flow-cytometric procedure with Cyto-ID and the DNA probe DRAQ5, permitting the cell cycle phase-specific determination of autophagy in live cells. This approach demonstrated that different cell cycle phases were associated with different autophagy levels: G1-phase cells had the lowest level, and G2/M-phase cells had the highest one. Second, we developed a flow-cytometric cell-sorting procedure based on Cyto-ID that separates cell populations into fractions with low, medium, and high autophagy. Cell cycle analysis of Cyto-ID-sorted cells confirmed that the high-autophagy fraction contained a much higher percentage of G2/M-phase cells than the low-autophagy fraction. In addition, Cyto-ID-based cell sorting also proved to be useful for assessing other autophagy-related processes: extracellular flux analysis revealed metabolic differences between the cell populations, with higher autophagy being associated with higher respiration, higher mitochondrial ATP production, and higher glycolysis. Conclusion This work provides clear evidence of high autophagy in G2/M-phase cells by establishing a novel cell sorting technique based on Cyto-ID.

Abstract
The recent discovery demonstrating that the leakage of cathepsin B from mitotic lysosomes assists mitotic chromosome segregation indicates that lysosomal membrane integrity can be spatiotemporally regulated. Unlike many other organelles, structural and functional alterations of lysosomes during mitosis remain, however, largely uncharted. Here, we demonstrate substantial differences in lysosomal proteome, lipidome, size, and pH between lysosomes that were isolated from human U2OS osteosarcoma cells either in mitosis or in interphase. The combination of pharmacological synchronization and mitotic shake-off yielded ~68% of cells in mitosis allowing us to investigate mitosis-specific lysosomal changes by comparing cell populations that were highly enriched in mitotic cells to those mainly in the G1 or G2 phases of the cell cycle. Mitotic cells had significantly reduced levels of lysosomal-associated membrane protein (LAMP) 1 and the active forms of lysosomal cathepsin B protease. Similar trends were observed in levels of acid sphingomyelinase and most other lysosomal proteins that were studied. The altered protein content was accompanied by increases in the size and pH of LAMP2-positive vesicles. Moreover, mass spectrometry-based shotgun lipidomics of purified lysosomes revealed elevated levels of sphingolipids, especially sphingomyelin and hexocylceramide, and lysoglyserophospholipids in mitotic lysosomes. Interestingly, LAMPs and acid sphingomyelinase have been reported to stabilize lysosomal membranes, whereas sphingomyelin and lysoglyserophospholipids have an opposite effect. Thus, the observed lysosomal changes during the cell cycle may partially explain the reduced lysosomal membrane integrity in mitotic cells.

Abstract
More than 50 years have passed since Nobel laureate Cristian de Duve described for the first time the presence of tiny subcellular compartments filled with hydrolytic enzymes: the lysosome. For a long time, lysosomes were deemed simple waste bags exerting a plethora of hydrolytic activities involved in the recycling of biopolymers, and lysosomal genes were considered to just be simple housekeeping genes, transcribed in a constitutive fashion. However, lysosomes are emerging as multifunctional signalling hubs involved in multiple aspects of cell biology, both under homeostatic and pathological conditions. Lysosomes are involved in the regulation of cell metabolism through the mTOR/TFEB axis. They are also key players in the regulation and onset of the immune response. Furthermore, it is becoming clear that lysosomal hydrolases can regulate several biological processes outside of the lysosome. They are also implicated in a complex communication network among subcellular compartments that involves intimate organelle‐to‐organelle contacts. Furthermore, lysosomal dysfunction is nowadays accepted as the causative event behind several human pathologies: low frequency inherited diseases, cancer, or neurodegenerative, metabolic, inflammatory, and autoimmune diseases. Recent advances in our knowledge of the complex biology of lysosomes have established them as promising therapeutic targets for the treatment of different pathologies. Although recent discoveries have started to highlight that lysosomes are controlled by a complex web of regulatory networks, which in some cases seem to be cell‐ and stimuli‐dependent, to harness the full potential of lysosomes as therapeutic targets, we need a deeper understanding of the little‐known signalling pathways regulating this subcellular compartment and its functions.

Initially described as lytic bodies due to their degradative and recycling functions, lysosomes play a critical role in metabolic adaptation to nutrient availability. More recently, the contribution of lysosomal proteins to cell signaling has been established, and lysosomes have emerged as signaling hubs that regulate diverse cellular processes, including cell proliferation and cell fate. Deciphering these signaling pathways has revealed an extensive crosstalk between the lysosomal and cell cycle machineries that is only beginning to be understood. Recent studies also indicate that a number of lysosomal proteins are involved in the regulation of embryonic and adult stem cell fate and identity. In this review, we will focus on the role of the lysosome as a signaling platform with an emphasis on its function in integrating nutrient sensing with proliferation and cell cycle progression, as well as in stemness-related features, such as self-renewal and quiescence.

Abstract
Cancer cells secrete large amounts of extracellular vesicles (EVs) originating from multivesicular bodies (MVBs). Mature MVBs fuse either with the plasma membrane for release as EVs often referred as to exosomes or with lysosomes for degradation. However, the mechanisms regulating MVB fate remain unknown. Here, we investigated the regulators of MVB fate by analyzing the effects of signaling inhibitors on EV secretion from cancer cells engineered to secrete luciferase-labeled EVs. Inhibition of the oncogenic MEK/ERK pathway suppressed EV release and activated lysosome formation. MEK/ERK-mediated lysosomal inactivation impaired MVB degradation, resulting in increased EV secretion from cancer cells. Moreover, MEK/ERK inhibition prevented c-MYC expression and induced the nuclear translocation of MiT/TFE transcription factors, thereby promoting the activation of lysosome-related genes, including the gene encoding a subunit of vacuolar-type H+ -ATPase, which is responsible for lysosomal acidification and function. Furthermore, c-MYC upregulation was associated with lysosomal genes downregulation in MEK/ERK-activated renal cancer cells/tissues. These findings suggest that the MEK/ERK/c-MYC pathway controls MVB fate and promotes EV production in human cancers by inactivating lysosomal function.
