Project description:Serine protease inhibitor Kazal type 3 (Spink3) is a trypsin inhibitor in the pancreas. Spink3-/- pancreatic acinar cells are dead with excessive autophagy at birth (p0.5). To prove the role of nonapoptotic cell death with autophagy, we generated by transgenic technology the pancreas of Spink3-/-;XKI/+ mice contained both normal and dying acinar cells with autophagy. In this new mouse model, chronic inflammation occurred in the pancreas, indicating that some signals from nonapoptotic dead cell induce chronic inflammation in the pancreas. All samples were the pancreas at p0.5. Sample 1 and 2 are the pancreas from wild type (Spink3+/+, control) mice. Sample 3 and 4 are the pancreas from Spink3-/-, which all pancreatic acinar cells show induced nonapoptotic cell death with autophagy. Sample 5 and 6 are the pancreas from Spink3-/-XKI/+, about half acinar cells are normal, but other acinar cells show induced nonapoptotic cell death with autophagy.

Project description:Nucleophagy, or nuclear autophagy, is termed to describe the cellular process of selective autophagic degradation of nuclear components. It was first discovered in yeast; however, the key regulatory gene is not conserved in mammals . Recently a pioneer work linked nucleophagy with senescence in mammalian cells, and the following studies showed that telomere damage is associated with nucleophagy . However, it is largely unknown whether other signals can activate nucleophagy and how the process is controlled in nuclear. Here, we show that inhibition of H3K9me3 by small chemicals induced cytoplasmic localization of histone H3.1 and degradation by autophagy. BIX-01294 treatment also induced cytosolic DNA and activated the cGAS/TBK1 dependent innate immunity pathway, expression of inflammatory genes and autophagic cell death. the deficiency of ATG5/7 enhanced the activation of cGAS pathway. Our study discovered a novel autophagic process selectively degrading nuclear materials in mammalian cells, which is induced by epigenetic dysregulation and coupled with activation of innate immunity pathway and autophagic cell death.

Project description:Autophagy to apoptosis switching event is an unexplored area. We were interested to explore the gene expression profile at this juncture. Our Microarray data emphasized that among all eNOS and p62 genes were markedly induced. In fuctional level eNOS expression activates mTORC1 followed by inhibition of autophagy. This ultimately allowed accumulation of p62 . Intraccellular accumulation of p62 sequestered unfolded toxic protein aggregates in mitochondria and ER resulting in to impaired redox regulation. Intraccelular ROS generation further sensitized cells for apoptosis and tilted autophagic response to apoptosis. Cells were treated with Tunicamycin as an inducer of both autophagy and apoptosis. At early stage of Tunicamycin treatment 24h , prostate cancer cell PC3 showed activation of autophagic process where apoptosis was not evident. Sustained ER stress with Tunicamycin induced late apoptoisis at 72h of treatment. Hence we isolated total RNA from Untreated cells, cells with Tunicamycin treatment after 24h and 72h. Further the RNA were used to perform whole genome microarray to analyze the gene expression profile at autophagy and apoptosis juncture. The selected genes were also validated by qPCR and western bot. Morover RNAi study were implemented to evaluate the signaling crosstalk at the juncture of autophagy and apoptosis.

Project description:Pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction and death are central in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes. Saturated fatty acids cause beta-cell failure and contribute to diabetes development in genetically predisposed individuals. Here we used RNA-sequencing to map transcripts expressed in five palmitate-treated human islet preparations, observing 1,325 modified genes. Palmitate induced fatty acid metabolism and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Functional studies identified novel mediators of adaptive ER stress signaling. Palmitate modified genes regulating ubiquitin and proteasome function, autophagy and apoptosis. Inhibition of autophagic flux and lysosome function contributed to lipotoxicity. Palmitate inhibited transcription factors controlling beta-cell phenotype including PAX4 and GATA6. 59 type 2 diabetes candidate genes were expressed in human islets, and 11 were modified by palmitate. Palmitate modified expression of 17 splicing factors and shifted alternative splicing of 3,525 transcripts. Ingenuity Pathway Analysis of modified transcripts and genes confirmed that top changed functions related to cell death. DAVID analysis of transcription binding sites in palmitate-modified transcripts revealed a role for PAX4, GATA and the ER stress response regulators XBP1 and ATF6. This human islet transcriptome study identified novel mechanisms of palmitate-induced beta-cell dysfunction and death. The data point to crosstalk between metabolic stress and candidate genes at the beta-cell level. 5 human islet of Langerhans preparations examined under 2 conditions (control and palmitate treatment)

Project description:Autophagy is a highly conserved lysosomal degrative pathway important for maintaining cellular homeostasis. Much of our current knowledge of autophagy is focused on the initiation steps with the later steps, particularly lysosomal fusion leading to autolysosome formation and the subsequent role of lysosomal enzymes in degradation and recycling become evident. Autophagy can function in both cell survival and cell death, however the mechanisms that distinguish adaptive/survival autophagy from autophagy-dependent cell death remains to be established. Here we use a proteomic analysis of larval midguts during degradation identifying a group of proteins with peptidase activity, suggesting a role in autophagy-dependent cell death. We show that Cathepsin L deficient Drosophila larval midgut cells, accumulate autophagic vesicles due to a block in autophagic flux, yet midgut degradation in not compromised. The accumulation of large aberrant autolysosomes in the absence of Cathepsin function appears to be the consequence of decreased degradative capacity as they contain undigested cytoplasmic material rather and not due to a defect in autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Finally, we find that other Cathepsins are also required for proper autolysosomal degradation in Drosophila larval midgut cells and that this is conserved in mammalian cells. Our findings suggest that Cathepsins play an important degrative role in the autolysosome to maintain autophagy flux, by balancing autophagosome production and turnover (to prevent autophagic stress).

Project description:Genes involved in the autophagic pathway are risk factors for the development of inflammatory bowel disease. In addition, patients with Crohn’s disease exhibit a profound expansion of mesenteric fat during the pathology. We investigated in our study the role of autophagy in mature adipocyte during intestinal inflammation. Mice bearing a tamoxifen-inducible deletion of Atg7 specifically in adipocytes showed signs of exacerbated intestinal inflammation in response to DSS-induced colitis. We therefore aimed to understand the possible underlying reasons for this change and performed a bulk RNA-seq approach using primary visceral adipocytes.

Project description:Impairment of autophagy leads to an accumulation of misfolded proteins and damaged organelles and has been implicated in plethora of human diseases. Loss of autophagy in actively respiring cells has also been shown to trigger metabolic collapse mediated by the depletion of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) pools, resulting in cell death. Here we found that the deficit in the autophagy-NAD axis underpins the loss of viability in cell models of a neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disorder, Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) disease. Defective autophagic flux in NPC1 cells resulted in mitochondrial dysfunction due to impairment of mitophagy, leading to the depletion of both the reduced and oxidised forms of NAD as identified via metabolic profiling. Consequently, exhaustion of the NAD pools triggered mitochondrial depolarisation and apoptotic cell death. Our chemical screening identified two FDA-approved drugs, celecoxib and memantine, as autophagy activators which effectively restored autophagic flux, NAD levels, and cell viability of NPC1 cells. Of biomedical relevance, either pharmacological rescue of the autophagy deficiency or NAD precursor supplementation restored NAD levels and improved the viability of NPC1 disease patient-derived primary fibroblasts and cortical neurons differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). Together, our findings identify the autophagy-NAD axis as a mechanism of cell death and a target for therapeutic interventions in NPC1 disease, with a potential relevance to other neurodegenerative disorders.

Project description:Excessive generation and accumulation of highly reactive oxidizing molecules causes oxidative stress and oxidative damage to cellular components. Accumulating evidence indicates that autophagy diminishes oxidative damage in cells and maintains redox homeostasis by degrading and recycling intracellular damaged components. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the activation of oxidative stress-mediated autophagic response remain elusive. Here we show that ubiquitin E3 ligase TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6) and the deubiquitinase A20 coordinate to regulate ATG9A ubiquitination and autophagy activation in cells responding to oxidative stress. The reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent TRAF6-mediated non-proteolytic, K48/63-linked ubiquitination of ATG9A enhances its association with Beclin 1 and the assembly of class III phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3KC3/VPS34) UVRAG complex, thereby stimulating autophagy. Notably, depletion of ATG9A or expression of the ATG9A ubiquitination mutants markedly decreases ROS-induced VPS34 activation and autophagy. We further find that lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced ROS production also stimulates TRAF6-mediated ATG9A ubiquitination and enhances the assembly of the UVRAG-containing VPS34 complex in an ATG9A-dependent manner. Ablation of ATG9A causes aberrant TLR4 endosomal trafficking and decreased phosphorylation of IRF-3 in LPS-stimulated macrophages. Our findings provide important insight into how K48/K63-linked ubiquitination of ATG9A contributes to the regulation of oxidative stress-induced autophagy.

Project description:Phenotypically, there is a heterogeneous response of cancer cells to chemotherapy or targeted therapy. While therapeutically much attention is focused on cell death, there is growing evidence suggesting that a subpopulation of cancer cells undergo therapy-induced senescence. Depending on the therapy, dose and timing, senescence may be a dominant phenotype over cell death. An integrated FACS approach identified two types of therapy-induced senescence in human melanoma cells, irreversible senescence induced by Aurora kinase inhibition vs. transient senescence induced by B-RAF kinase inhibition. Autophagy and ER stress response precede and are required for therapy-induced senescence in cancer cells, mirroring their functions in normal cells undergoing oncogene-induced senescence. Importantly, autophagy serves a survival pathway for senescent cancer cells. Antagonizing autophagy converts therapy-induced senescence into cell death but paradoxically promotes cell proliferation or quiescence. Our work calls for a rationale-based design of combination therapy for cancer treatment that should lead to a greater synergy. There are three or four replicates per treatment per time point.
