报告摘要:
The lysosome plays a major role in cellular clearance. As cellular catabolic needs may vary depending on tissue type, age and environmental conditions, we postulated the presence of a system allowing the coordination of lysosomal activity. Using a systems-biology approach we discovered a gene regulatory network (CLEAR: Coordinated Lysosomal Enhancement And Regulation) that controls lysosomal biogenesis and function and a master gene, the bHLH-leucine zipper transcription factor TFEB, which binds to CLEAR target sites in the promoter of lysosomal genes and positively regulates their expression. TFEB overexpression induces lysosomal biogenesis and promotes cellular clearance (Sardiello et al. Science 2009). We also demonstrated that TFEB is directly involved in the regulation of two important cellular processes that are mediated by the lysosome: autophagy (Settembre et al. Science 2011) and lysosomal exocytosis (Medina et al. Dev. Cell 2011). TFEB overexpression promoted cellular clearance in several murine models of lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs), both in cell culture and in vivo (Medina et al. Dev. Cell 2011). Recent studies in our laboratory revealed that TFEB co-localizes with the master growth regulator kinase mTOR on the lysosomal membrane. When nutrients are present, phosphorylation of TFEB by mTOR, which occurs on the lysosomal surface, inhibits TFEB activity. Conversely, pharmacological inhibition of mTOR, as well as starvation and lysosomal disruption, activate TFEB by promoting its translocation to the nucleus. These data identify an entirely novel, nutrient-sensitive, lysosome-to-nucleus signaling mechanism that senses and regulates the lysosome via mTOR and TFEB (Settembre et al. EMBO J, 2012). In conclusion, we identified a novel, and potentially druggable, mechanism that exerts a global control on cellular clearance and on cellular energy metabolism.
