Here, we use RNA-sequencing to characterize a novel strategy converting fibroblasts into endothelial-like cells through activation of lysosomal activity. Constitutively active MEK2 induces a transcriptional endothelial gene program via sustained MAPK/ERK signaling, leading to enhanced vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) activity, lysosomal acidification, extracellular matrix degradation, and angiogenic behavior. Transcriptomic profiling reveals that V-ATPase inhibition impairs induction of endothelial gene expression, whereas pharmacologic V-ATPase activation with EN6 recapitulates key transcriptional features of reprogramming and promotes nuclear translocation of TFEB, a master lysosomal regulator. Consistently, TFEB overexpression, particularly a phospho-deficient mutant, boosts lysosomal gene expression and enhances the endothelial transcriptional signature. This dataset defines a MAPK–V-ATPase–TFEB axis driving endothelial reprogramming at the transcriptional level and provides a resource for exploring the lysosome as a central hub for cell fate transitions</description><dates><publication>2026/09/03</publication></dates><accession>GSE339221</accession><cross_references><GSM>GSM9890521</GSM><GSM>GSM9890520</GSM><GSM>GSM9890523</GSM><GSM>GSM9890522</GSM><GSM>GSM9890530</GSM><GSM>GSM9890529</GSM><GSM>GSM9890518</GSM><GSM>GSM9890517</GSM><GSM>GSM9890528</GSM><GSM>GSM9890519</GSM><GSM>GSM9890525</GSM><GSM>GSM9890524</GSM><GSM>GSM9890516</GSM><GSM>GSM9890527</GSM><GSM>GSM9890526</GSM><GPL>34290</GPL><GSE>339221</GSE><taxon>Mus musculus</taxon></cross_references></HashMap>
