Project description:In several long-lived Caenorhabditis elegans strains, such as insulin/IGF-1 receptor daf-2 mutants, enhanced proteostatic mechanisms are accompanied by elevated intestinal lipid stores, but their role in longevity is unclear. Here, while determining the regulatory network of the selective autophagy receptor SQST-1/SQSTM1, we uncovered an important role for lipid droplets in proteostasis and longevity. Using genome-wide RNAi screening, we identified several SQST-1 modulators, including lipid droplets-associated and aggregation-prone proteins. Expansion of intestinal lipid droplets by silencing the conserved cytosolic triacylglycerol lipase gene atgl-1/ATGL enhanced autophagy, and extended lifespan. Notably, a substantial amount of ubiquitinated proteins were found on lipid droplets. Reducing lipid droplet levels exacerbated the proteostatic collapse when autophagy or proteasome function was compromised, and significantly reduced the lifespan of long-lived daf-2 animals. Altogether, our study uncovered a key role for lipid droplets in C. elegans as a proteostatic mediator that modulates ubiquitinated protein accumulation, facilitates autophagy, and promotes longevity.

Project description:Astrocytes, one of the most resilient cells in the brain, transform into reactive astrocytes in response to toxic proteins such as amyloid beta (Aβ) in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, reactive astrocyte-mediated non-cell autonomous neuropathological mechanism is not fully understood yet. We aimed our study to find out whether Aβ-induced proteotoxic stress affects the expression of autophagy genes and the modulation of autophagic flux in astrocytes, and if yes, how Aβ-induced autophagy-associated genes are involved Aβ clearance in astrocytes of animal model of AD. Whole RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) was performed to detect gene expression patterns in Aβ-treated human astrocytes in a time-dependent manner. To verify the role of astrocytic autophagy in an AD mouse model, we developed AAVs expressing shRNAs for MAP1LC3B/LC3B (LC3B) and Sequestosome1 (SQSTM1) based on AAV-R-CREon vector, which is a Cre recombinase-dependent gene-silencing system. Also, the effect of astrocyte-specific overexpression of LC3B on the neuropathology in AD (APP/PS1) mice was determined. Neuropathological alterations of AD mice with astrocytic autophagy dysfunction were observed by confocal microscopy and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Behavioral changes of mice were examined through novel object recognition test (NOR) and novel object place recognition test (NOPR). Here, we show that astrocytes, unlike neurons, undergo plastic changes in autophagic processes to remove Aβ. Aβ transiently induces expression of LC3B gene and turns on a prolonged transcription of SQSTM1 gene. The Aβ-induced astrocytic autophagy accelerates urea cycle and putrescine degradation pathway. Pharmacological inhibition of autophagy exacerbates mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in astrocytes. Astrocyte-specific knockdown of LC3B and SQSTM1 significantly increases Aβ plaque formation and hypertrophic reactive astrocytes in APP/PS1 mice, along with a significant reduction of neuronal marker and cognitive function. In contrast, astrocyte-specific overexpression of LC3B reduced Ab aggregates in the brain of APP/PS1 mice An increase of LC3B and SQSTM1 protein is found in astrocytes of the hippocampus in AD patients. Taken together, our data indicates that Aβ-induced astrocytic autophagic plasticity is an important cellular event to modulate Aβ clearance and maintain cognitive function in AD mice.

Project description:Epigenetic factors and related small molecules have emerged to be strongly involved in autophagy process. Here we report that two inhibitors of histone H3K4 demethylase KDM1A/LSD1, 2-PCPA and GSK-LSD1, are able to induce autophagy in multiple cell lines. The two small molecules induced accumulation of LC3II, formation of autophagosome, fusion of autophagosome with lysosome and SQSTM1/p62 degradation. 2-PCPA treatment inhibits cell proliferation through cell cycle arrest but not inducing cell death. Exogenous expression of KDM1A/LSD1 impaired the autophagic phenotypes triggered by 2-PCPA. The autophagy induced by 2-PCPA requires LC3-II processing machinery. But depletion of BECN1 and ULK1 with siRNA did not affect the LC3-II accumulation triggered by 2-PCPA. 2-PCPA treatment induces the change of global gene expression program, including a series of autophagy-related genes, such as SQSTM1/p62. Taken together, our data indicate that KDM1A/LSD1 inhibitors induce autophagy through affecting the expression of autophagy-related genes and in a BECN1-independent manner.

Project description:Sequestosome1 (SQSTM1) is an autophagy receptor that mediates degradation of intracellular cargo, including protein aggregates, through multiple protein interactions. These interactions form the SQSTM1 protein network that are mediated by SQSTM1 functional interaction domains, which include LIR, PB1, UBA and KIR. Despite various attempts to unravel the complexity of the SQSTM1 protein network, our understanding of the relationship of various components in cellular physiology and disease states continues to evolve. To investigate the SQSTM1 protein interaction network, we performed proximity profile labeling by fusing TurboID with the human protein SQSTM1 (TurboID::SQSTM1). This chimeric protein displayed well-established SQSTM1 features including: production of SQSTM1 intracellular bodies, binding to known SQSTM1 interacting partners via defined functional SQSTM1 interacting domains and capture of novel SQSTM1 interactors. Strikingly, aggregated tau protein altered the protein interaction network of SQSTM1 to include many stress associated proteins. Overall, our work reveals the dynamic landscape of the SQSTM1 protein network and offers a resource to study SQSTM1 function in cellular physiology and disease state.

Project description:We have assessed the importance of SQSTM1 in human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived cortical neurons with and without SQSTM1. By combining high-content imaging, RNA-Seq, and functional mitochondrial readouts, we showed that SQSTM1 depletion causes aberrations in mitochondrial gene expression and functionality in iPSC-derived neurons.

Project description:Usutu virus (USUV) is an emerging orthoflavivirus, which mainly affects birds but in rare cases can cause severe neuroinvasive disease in humans. Due to the limited size of the orthoflavivirus genome the virus relies on the host machinery for replication. In addition, it must subvert the host antiviral response for successful replication in the cell. Studying this complex network of virus-host protein interactions by proteomics approaches can provide us new insights in the replication cycle of viruses and can help us better understand the viral pathogenesis. We have previously shown that the USUV protein NS4A acts as an antagonist of the interferon response, and here we further map the host interaction partners of USUV NS4A using proximity labeling coupled to mass spectrometry. The resulting NS4A interactome revealed many host proteins involved in the autophagy pathway. We showed that both USUV infection and overexpression of USUV NS4A can induce the autophagy pathway. However, stimulation or inhibition of the autophagy pathway did not affect USUV replication in general. Therefore, we decided to look specifically at the role of the selective autophagy receptor sequestosome 1 (p62/SQSTM1), which was identified as an interaction partner of USUV NS4A. We found that p62 is involved in the degradation of USUV NS4A. Furthermore, the knockdown of p62 enhanced replication of USUV in A549 cells, which means p62 functions to restrict USUV replication. In conclusion, this study showed that USUV NS4A induced autophagy and was then targeted by p62 for degradation by the autophagic machinery, uncovering a new role of p62 in the antiviral defense against USUV.

Project description:The number, size, and composition of lipid droplets can be influenced by dietary changes that shift energy substrate availability. This diversification of lipid droplets can promote metabolic flexibility and shape cellular stress responses in unique tissues with distinctive metabolic roles. Using Drosophila, we uncovered a role for myocyte enhancer-factor 2 (MEF2) in modulating diet-dependent lipid droplet diversification within adult striated muscle, impacting mortality rates. Muscle-specific attenuation of MEF2, whose chronic activation maintains glucose and mitochondrial homeostasis, leads to the accumulation of large, cholesterol ester-enriched intramuscular lipid droplets in response to high calorie, carbohydrate sufficient diets. The diet-dependent accumulation of these lipid droplets also correlates with both enhanced stress protection in muscle and increases in organismal lifespan. Furthermore, MEF2 attenuation releases an antagonistic regulation of cell cycle gene expression programs, and up-regulation of Cyclin E is required for diet-and-MEF2 dependent diversification of intramuscular lipid droplets. The integration of MEF2-regulated gene expression networks with dietary responses thus plays a critical role in shaping muscle metabolism and function, further influencing organismal lifespan. Together, these results highlight a potential protective role for intramuscular lipid droplets during dietary adaptation.

Project description:Diet composition is a critical determinant of lifespan and nutrient imbalance is detrimental health. However, how nutrients interact with genetic factors to modulate lifespan remains elusive. We investigated how diet composition influences mitochondrial ATP synthase subunit d (ATPsyn-d) in modulating lifespan in Drosophila. ATPsyn-d knockdown extended lifespan in females fed low carbohydrate-to-protein (C:P) diets, but not the high C:P ratio diet. We also measured changes in the genome-wide expression profile induced by ATPsyn-d knockdown. Lifespan extension induced by ATPsyn-d knockdown was associated with increased resistance to oxidative stress, transcriptional changes in metabolism, proteostasis and immune genes, reduced protein damage and aggregation, and reduced phosphorylation of S6K and ERK in TOR and MAPK signaling, respectively. Our data reveal a link among diet, mitochondria, MAPK and TOR signaling in aging and stresses the importance of considering genetic background and diet composition in implementing interventions for promoting healthy aging.
