The autophagy-targeting compound V46 enhances antimicrobial responses to Mycobacteroides abscessus by activating transcription factor EB

ABSTRACT: Mycobacteroides abscessus (Mabc) is a rapidly growing nontuberculous mycobacterium that poses a considerable challenge as a multidrug-resistant pathogen causing chronic human infection. Effective therapeutics that enhance protective immune responses to Mabc are urgently needed. This study introduces trans-3,5,4′-trimethoxystilbene (V46), a novel resveratrol analogue with autophagy-activating properties and antimicrobial activity against Mabc infection, including multidrug-resistant strains. Among the resveratrol analogues tested, V46 markedly inhibited the growth of both rough and smooth Mabc strains in murine bone marrow-derived macrophages and in the lungs of infected mice. Additionally, V46 significantly reduced Mabc-induced increases in chemokine and pro inflammatory cytokine levels in macrophages and in vivo during infection. Mechanistic analysis showed that V46 suppressed the activation of the AKT-mammalian target of rapamycin signaling pathway and enhanced AMP-activated protein kinase signaling in Mabc-infected cells. Notably, V46 activated autophagy and nuclear translocation of transcription factor EB, which is crucial for antimicrobial host defenses against Mabc. Furthermore, V46 upregulated genes associated with autophagy and lysosomal biogenesis in Mabc-infected bone marrow-derived macrophages. The combination of V46 and rifabutin exerted a synergistic antimicrobial effect. These findings identify V46 as a candidate host-directed therapeutic for Mabc infection that activates autophagy and lysosomal function via transcription factor EB.

Multiplexed proteomics of autophagy deficient macrophages reveals enhanced antimicrobial immunity via the oxidative stress response

Project description:Macrophages play a critical role in clearance of cytosolic pathogens. Autophagy functions at the intersection of antimicrobial innate immunity and protein quality control; however, the impacts of infection and autophagy on shaping the macrophage proteome are poorly understood. Here, we describe a deep multi- dimensional proteomic analysis of primary murine macrophages infected with Shigella flexneri (S.flexneri). Tandem mass tagging (TMT) revealed dynamic genotype- and infection-dependent differences in host and pathogen proteins, phosphorylation and ubiquitination. These data catalogue the complex circuitry connecting autophagy, inflammatory signaling and the oxidative stress response. Loss of the autophagy gene Atg16l1 induced basal oxidative stress, activated the compensatory glutathione biosynthetic machinery, and enhanced clearance of S.flexneri. Pathogen clearance was similarly enhanced in wild type macrophages upon pharmacological inhibition of cysteine import. Our study provides a resource for innate immunity research and reveals that ATG16L1 dampens antimicrobial immunity by regulating oxidative stress.

Effects of 30 days resveratrol supplementation on adipose tissue morphology and gene expression patterns in obese men

Project description:Polyphenolic compounds, such as resveratrol, have recently received widespread interest due to their ability to mimic effects of calorie restriction. The objective of the present study was to gain more insight into the effects of 30 days resveratrol supplementation on adipose tissue morphology and underlying processes. Nine healthy obese men were supplemented with placebo and 150mg/day resveratrol for 30 days, separated by a 4-week washout period. A postprandial abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue biopsy was collected to assess adipose tissue morphology and gene expression using microarray analysis. Resveratrol significantly decreased adipocyte size, with a shift towards a reduction in the proportion of large and very large adipocytes and an increase in small adipocytes. Microarray analysis revealed downregulation of Wnt, Notch and BMP/TGF-β signaling pathways and upregulation of pathways involved in cell cycle after resveratrol supplementation, suggesting enhanced adipogenesis. Furthermore, the lysosomal/phagosomal pathway and the transcription factor EB were upregulated, reflecting an alternative pathway of lipid breakdown by autophagy. These data suggest that adipose tissue is an important target tissue for the effects of resveratrol in humans, but further research is necessary to investigate whether it translates into an improved adipose tissue function. In a double-blind randomized crossover study, 9 healthy obese men were supplemented with placebo and 150 mg/day resveratrol for 30 days, with a 4-week washout period in between. At the end of each intervention period, a biopsy was taken from the abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue, which was subjected to gene expression profiling.

Cathepsin B modulates lysosomal biogenesis and host defense against Francisella novicida infection

Project description:Lysosomal cathepsins regulate an exquisite range of biological functions, and their deregulation is associated with inflammatory, metabolic and degenerative disease in humans. Here, we identified a key cell-intrinsic role for cathepsin B as a negative feedback regulator of lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy. Mice and macrophages lacking cathepsin B activity had increased resistance to the cytosolic bacterial pathogen Francisella novicida. Genetic deletion or pharmacological inhibition of cathepsin B downregulated mTOR activity and prevented cleavage of the lysosomal calcium channel TRPML1. These events drove transcription of lysosomal and autophagy genes via the transcription factor TFEB, which increased lysosomal biogenesis and activation of autophagy-initiation kinase ULK1 for clearance of the bacteria. Our results identified a fundamental biological function of cathepsin B in providing a checkpoint for homeostatic maintenance of lysosome population and basic recycling functions in the cell. We used microarrays to explore the gene expression profiles differentially expressed in bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM) isolated from cathepsin B-/- and wild-type mice.

TFEB and TFE3 are required for efficient cellular response against beta-coronavirus [RNA-seq]

Project description:The transcription factors EB and E3 (TFEB and TFE3) promote lysosomal biogenesis and autophagy in response to a variety of stress conditions. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) belongs to the ß-coronaviruses family. Recent studies have shown that ß-coronaviruses use lysosomes to egress the cell. The aim of this work is to analyze if ß-coronavirus infection promotes TFEB/3 activation and to evaluate the contribution of these transcription factors to the cellular response upon viral infection.

TFEB activation in macrophages attenuates postmyocardial infarction ventricular dysfunction independently of ATG5-mediated autophagy

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.

Lysosome repositioning as an autophagy escape mechanism by Mycobacterium tuberuculosis Beijing strain

Project description:Autophagy is a conserved lysosomal-dependent cellular degradation process shown to play a key role in immune defense against Mycobacterium tuberculosis inside host macrophages. Induction of autophagy enhances mycobacterial phagosome acquisition of lysosomal hydrolases, resulting in the destruction of intracellular M. tuberculosis reference strain H37Rv and strains belonging to the East African Indian genotype. However, our previous study showed that strains belonging to the hypervirulent M. tuberculosis Beijing genotype have a special ability to resist autophagic killing but the mechanism involved remains unclear. In this study, we carried out whole transcriptome analyses of host macrophages infected with the autophagy resistant Beijing strain compared to that of H37Rv. Our results identified several genes that are differentially regulated in the Beijing strain-infected host cells including those function in the lysosome positioning pathway. Host macrophages depleted of Kxd1 and Pleckhm2, two proteins in this pathway, can now enhance the lysosomal hydrolase acquisition into the Beijing phagosomes and restrict the bacterial survival upon autophagy induction. High-content image analysis showed an increase in lysosome numbers at the cell periphery in host cells infected with the autophagy resistant Beijing strain in a Pleckhm2-dependent manner. Taken together, these data indicated that the M. tuberculosis Beijing strain escapes autophagic elimination by upregulating the lysosome positioning pathway resulting in an increase in lysosome relocation toward the cell periphery and therefore sparing the mycobacteria from autophagic restriction. Our work thus identified new strategy employed by M. tuberculosis to evade autophagy which may provide potential new targets for drug discovery against tuberculosis
