Abstract
Ubiquitin-proteasome pathway (UPS) and autophagy-lysosome pathway (ALP) are the two major protein degradation pathways, which are critical for proteostasis. Growing evidence indicates that proteasome inhibition-induced ALP activation is an adaptive response. Transcription Factor EB (TFEB) is a master regulator of ALP. However, the characteristics of TFEB and its role in proteasome inhibition-induced ALP activation are not fully investigated. Here we reported that the half-life of TFEB is around 13.5 h in neuronal-like cells, and TFEB is degraded through proteasome pathway in both neuronal-like and non-neuronal cells. Moreover, proteasome impairment not only promotes TFEB accumulation but also facilitates its dephosphorylation and nuclear translocation. In addition, proteasome inhibition-induced TFEB accumulation, dephosphorylation and nuclear translocation significantly increases the expression of a number of TFEB downstream genes involved in ALP activation, including microtubule-associated protein 1B light chain-3 (LC3), particularly LC3-II, cathepsin D and lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1 (LAMP1). Furthermore, we demonstrated that proteasome inhibition increases autophagosome biogenesis but not impairs autophagic flux. Our study advances the understanding of features of TFEB and indicates that TFEB might be a key mediator of proteasome impairment-induced ALP activation.Entities:

FIGURE 1The half-life of Transcription Factor EB is approximately 13.5 h in SH-SY5Y cells. (A) SH-SY5Y cells were treated with 100 μg/mL cycloheximide and were harvested at 0, 4, 8, 12, 16, and 24 h after drug treatment. Cell lysates were separated on 10% SDS-PAGE. TFEB antibody was used to detect TFEB. Actin was detected by its antibody and used as the internal control. (B) TFEB levels were plotted as a percentage of the control (0 h). Values are mean ± SEM; n ≥ 3.
FIGURE 2Proteasome inhibition facilitates TFEB accumulation and dephosphorylation. SH-SY5Y cells (A) or HEK293 cells (C) were treated with MG-132 at indicated dosage. Whole-cell lysates were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE. TFEB was detected by TFEB antibody. Actin served as a loading control. (B,D) Quantification of TFEB shown in (A,C), respectively. (E) HEK293 cells were treated with 15 μM MG-132 for indicated time course. (F) Quantification of TFEB shown in panel (E). Values are mean ± SEM; n ≥ 3, ∗P < 0.05 by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test.
FIGURE 3Proteasome inhibition promotes TFEB nuclear translocation. (A) HEK293 cells were treated with 15 μM MG-132 for 24 h. The cell lysates were fractionated into cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions. Both nuclear and cytoplasmic fractions were separated by 10% SDS-PAGE. TFEB was detected by TFEB antibody. β-tubulin was detected by β-tubulin antibody and used as the control of cytoplasmic fraction. Lamin B was detected by lamin B antibody and used as the control of nuclear fraction. (B) Relative ratio of nuclear TFEB to cytoplasmic TFEB. N, nuclear; C, cytoplasmic. Values are mean ± SEM; n ≥ 3, ∗P < 0.05 by Student’s t-test. (C) TFEB-GFP was transfected into HEK293 cells. 24 h after transfection, cells were treated with 15 μM MG-132 for 0, 3, 6, and 12 h, respectively. After fixation, cells were stained with DAPI. Confocal microscope was used to analyze the results. Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue).
FIGURE 4Proteasome inhibition facilitates TFEB-mediated autophagy- lysosome pathway activation. (A) HEK293 cells were treated with 15 μM MG-132 for 24 h. Whole-cell lysates were separated by 12% SDS-PAGE. TFEB was detected by TFEB antibody. LAMP-1 was detected by LAMP-1 antibody. LC3-I and LC3-II were detected by LC3 antibody. Actin served as a loading control. (B–D) Quantification of total LC3, LC3-II and LAMP-1 expression. HEK293 cells were treated with 15 μM MG-132 for 24 h. The mRNA levels of LC3, LAMP1 and cathepsin D (CTSD) were examined by qRT-PCR, shown in (E–G), respectively. (H) HEK293 cells were treated with 15 μM MG-132 for 24 h, and then treated with 300 nM Bafilomycin A1 (Baf-A1) for 4 h. Whole-cell lysates were separated by 12% SDS-PAGE. LC3-I and LC3-II were detected by LC3 antibody. Actin served as a loading control. (I) Quantification of LC3-II.
