Autophagic vesicle content profiling from hippocampal slices LC-MSMS

ABSTRACT: Previous work demonstrated that the developmental pruning of dendritic spines requires autophagy. This developmental process is facilitated by long-term depression (LTD)-like mechanisms, inviting the speculation that LTD, a fundamental form of plasticity, itself requires autophagy. Here, we show that LTD-inducing activation of NMDA receptors or metabotropic glutamate receptors triggers the rapid initiation of autophagy in postsynaptic dendrites. Dendritic autophagic vesicles (AVs) act in parallel with the endocytic machinery to remove AMPAR subunits from the surface and rapidly degrade them and their scaffold PSD95. Moreover, during NMDAR-LTD, key postsynaptic proteins are sequestered for autophagic degradation, as revealed by quantitative proteomic profiling of purified AVs. In turn, pharmacological inhibition of AV biogenesis, or conditional ablation of atg5 in pyramidal neurons abolishes LTD and instead triggers sustained potentiation in the hippocampus. These deficits in synaptic plasticity are recapitulated by knockdown of atg5 specifically in postsynaptic pyramidal neurons in the CA1 area. Conducive to the role of synaptic plasticity in behavioral flexibility, mice with autophagy deficiency in excitatory neurons exhibit altered response in reversal learning. Therefore, local assembly of the autophagic machinery in dendrites ensures the degradation of postsynaptic components and facilitates LTD expression.

Epigenetic and transcriptional regulation of starvation-induced atrophy and autophagy programs by Foxk1 and Sin3A

Project description:Autophagy is the primary catabolic process triggered in response to starvation. Although autophagic regulation within the cytosolic compartment is well established, it is becoming clear that nuclear events also regulate the induction or repression of autophagy. Nevertheless, a thorough understanding of the mechanisms by which sequence-specific transcription factors modulate expression of genes required for autophagy is lacking. Here, we identify Foxk proteins (Foxk1 and Foxk2) as transcriptional repressors of autophagy in muscle cells and fibroblasts. Interestingly, Foxk1/2 serve to counter-balance another forkhead transcription factor, Foxo3, which induces an overlapping set of autophagic and atrophic targets in muscle. Foxk1/2 specifically recruits Sin3A-HDAC complexes to restrict acetylation of histone H4 and expression of critical autophagy genes. Remarkably, mTOR promotes the transcriptional activity of Foxk1 by facilitating nuclear entry to specifically limit basal levels of autophagy in nutrient-rich conditions. Our study highlights an ancient, conserved mechanism whereby nutritional status is interpreted by mTOR to restrict autophagy by repressing essential autophagy genes via Foxk-Sin3-mediated transcriptional control. Examination of (1) chromatin binding of Foxk1 and Sin3A in non-starved myoblasts and (2) gene expression profiling upon either starvation or siRNA-mediated depletion of Foxk1 relative to a non-starved control.

PPARα mouse liver cistrome

Project description:Autophagy is an evolutionally conserved catabolic process that recycles nutrients upon starvation and maintains cellular energy homeostasis1-3. Its acute regulation by nutrient sensing signaling pathways is well described, but its longer-term transcriptional regulation is not. The nuclear receptors PPARα and FXR are activated in the fasted or fed liver, respectively4,5. Here we show that both regulate hepatic autophagy. Pharmacologic activation of PPARα reverses the normal suppression of autophagy in the fed state, inducing autophagic lipid degradation, or lipophagy. This response is lost in PPARα knockout (PPARα-/-) mice, which are partially defective in the induction of autophagy by fasting. Pharmacologic activation of the bile acid receptor FXR strongly suppresses the induction of autophagy in the fasting state, and this response is absent in FXR knockout (FXR-/-) mice, which show a partial defect in suppression of hepatic autophagy in the fed state. PPARα and FXR compete for binding to shared sites in autophagic gene promoters, with opposite transcriptional outputs. These results reveal complementary, interlocking mechanisms for regulation of autophagy by nutrient status. Mouse liver PPARα cistromes in fed 8-week-old male WT or PPARα KO mice treated with or without its synthetic agonist ligand GW7647twice a day were generated by deep sequencing in quadruplicate using illumina

Gene regulation in autophagy and apoptosis juncture

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.

Activation of autophagy by starvation and mTOR inhibition in three human cell lines

Project description:The aim of the project was to characterize changes in gene expression that are associated with induced autophagic flux. We engineered HeLa, HEK 293 and SH-SY5Y cell lines to express tandem-fluorecent LC3 (tf-LC3). The ratio of the red and green fluorophores indicated how much of the LC3 is in the acidic interior of lysosomes, which was a proxy measure for autophagic flux. RNA sequencing was performed for the cell lines at baseline and 1h, 15h and 30h after treatments. Additional untreated samples were also sequenced at some but not all time points. Autophagy was induced by amino acid starvation or mTOR inhibition (AZD8055).

Identification of the Regulatory Network of Autophagy and Novel Autophagic Genes in Normal Spermatogenesis and Male Infertility via Single-Cell Transcriptome Analysis

Project description:Autophagy has been implicated to be involved in spermatogenesis and dysfunction of autophagy can lead to male infertility. However, sophisticated transcriptional signatures of autophagic genes in spermatogenesis and its significance remain uncharacterized. Here, we explore the transcriptional profiling of autophagy-related genes across human spermatogenesis in donors with normal fertility and nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA) patient using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) analysis. Core component gene sets in each step of autophagy exhibit stage-specific expression pattern in human spermatogenesis, which is further confirmed by immunostaining; in this context, we further uncover a unique stage-specific enrichment of a cohort autophagy-related genes. Human-to-mouse comparison analysis reveals that this stage-specific expression pattern of autophagy-related genes is highly conserved in mammals and dysregulation of this pattern is associated with human male infertility. Moreover, we discover several stage-specific autophagic genes, which have not been identified to regulate spermatogenesis before. Among these candidate genes, Cst3, an actively expressed autophagic gene in spermatogonia and early spermatocytes, is involved in the regulation of SSC maintenance and subsequent male germ cell development. Downregulation of Cst3 increases the autophagy activity in mouse SSCs, which exerts its roles by regulating the expression of SSC core factors such as Oct4, Id1 and Nanos3. Collectively, our study provides novel insights into the global transcriptional signatures of autophagy-related genes and confirms the role of proper autophagy activity in SSC maintenance and normal spermatogenesis, opening new avenues for further investigation of the correlation between autophagy and spermatogenesis as well as male infertility.

Autophagy driven by a master regulator of hematopoiesis

Project description:Developmental and homeostatic remodeling of cellular organelles is mediated by a complex process termed autophagy. The cohort of proteins that constitute the autophagy machinery function in a multistep biochemical pathway. Though components of the autophagy machinery are broadly expressed, autophagy can occur in specialized cellular contexts, and mechanisms underlying cell type-specific autophagy are poorly understood. We demonstrate that the master regulator of hematopoiesis GATA-1 directly activates transcription of genes encoding the essential autophagy component Microtubule Associated Protein 1 Light Chain 3B (LC3B) and its homologs (MAP1LC3A, GABARAP, GABARAPL1, GATE-16). In addition, GATA-1 directly activates genes involved in the biogenesis/function of lysosomes, which mediate autophagic protein turnover. We demonstrate that GATA-1 utilizes the forkhead protein FoxO3 to activate select autophagy genes. GATA-1-dependent LC3B induction is tightly coupled to accumulation of the active form of LC3B and autophagosomes, which mediate mitochondrial clearance as a critical step in erythropoiesis. These results illustrate a novel mechanism by which a master regulator of development establishes a genetic network to instigate cell type-specific autophagy.

Inhibition of H3K9me3 induces cytoplasmic localization of histone H3 coupled 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.
