Therapeutic MTORC1 inhibition by using low doses of rapamycin corrects lysosome function and differentiation downstream of cystine storage and ameliorates PT dysfunction in preclinical models of cystinosis.

Macroautophagy/autophagy is a fundamental survival mechanism that allows cells to adapt to metabolic changes by degrading and recycling intracellular components. Here we address why autophagy depletion leads to a drastic loss of the stem cell compartment. Using inducible deletion of autophagy specifically in adult hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and in mice chimeric for autophagy-deficient and normal HSCs, we demonstrate that the stem cell loss is cell-intrinsic. Mechanistically, autophagy-deficient HSCs showed higher expression of several amino acid transporters (AAT) when compared to autophagy-competent cells, resulting in increased amino acid (AA) uptake. This was followed by sustained MTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) activation, with enlarged cell size, glucose uptake and translation, which is detrimental to the quiescent HSCs. MTOR inhibition by rapamycin treatment <i>in vivo</i> was able to rescue autophagy-deficient HSC loss and bone marrow failure and resulted in better reconstitution after transplantation. Our results suggest that targeting MTOR may improve aged stem cell function, promote reprogramming and stem cell transplantation.<b>List of abbreviations:</b> 5FU: fluoracil; AA: amino acids; AKT/PKB: thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1; ATF4: activating transcription factor 4; BafA: bafilomycin A<sub>1</sub>; BM: bone marrow; EIF2: eukaryotic initiation factor 2; EIF4EBP1/4EBP1: eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E binding protein 1; KIT/CD117/c-Kit: KIT proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine kinase; HSCs: hematopoietic stem cells; HSPCs: hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells; Kyn: kynurenine; LSK: lineage<sup>-</sup> (Lin<sup>-</sup>), LY6A/Sca-1<sup>+</sup>, KIT/c-Kit/CD117<sup>+</sup>; LY6A/Sca-1: lymphocyte antigen 6 family member A; MTOR: mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase; MTORC1: MTOR complex 1; MTORC2: MTOR complex 2; OPP: O-propargyl-puromycin; PI3K: phosphoinositide 3-kinase; poly(I:C): polyinosinic:polycytidylic acid; RPS6/S6: ribosomal protein S6; tam: tamoxifen; TCA: tricarboxylic acid; TFEB: transcription factor EB; PTPRC/CD45: Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase Receptor Type C, CD45 antigen.</p>","PeriodicalId":8722,"journal":{"name":"Autophagy","volume":" ","pages":"45-57"},"PeriodicalIF":14.6,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10761185/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10116425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, whether and how the autophagy pathway modulates SnRK1 activity remains elusive. Recently, we identified a clade of plant-specific FLZ (FCS-like zinc finger) proteins as novel ATG8 (autophagy-related 8)-interacting partners in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>. These AtFLZs, which mainly localize on the surface of mitochondria, can inhibit SnRK1 signaling by repressing the T-loop phosphorylation of its catalytic α subunits, thereby negatively regulating carbon starvation-induced autophagy and plant tolerance to energy deprivation. Upon energy starvation, autophagy is activated to mediate the degradation of these AtFLZs, thus relieving their repression of SnRK1. More importantly, the ATG8-FLZ-SnRK1 regulatory axis appears to be functionally conserved during seed plant evolution. These findings highlight the positive role of autophagy in SnRK1 signaling activation under energy-limiting conditions in plants.<b>Abbreviations:</b> ADS, AIMs docking site; AIM, ATG8-interacting motif; AMPK, adenosine monophosphate-activated protein kinase; ATG, autophagy-related; ESCRT, endosomal sorting complexes required for transport; FLZ, FCS-like zinc finger protein; FREE1, FYVE DOMAIN PROTEIN REQUIRED FOR ENDOSOMAL SORTING 1; RAPTOR, REGULATORY-ASSOCIATED PROTEIN OF TOR; Snf1, SUCROSE NON-FERMENTING 1; SnRK1, SNF1-related kinase 1; TOR, TARGET OF RAPAMYCIN.</p>","PeriodicalId":8722,"journal":{"name":"Autophagy","volume":" ","pages":"3248-3250"},"PeriodicalIF":14.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10621257/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10387163","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LDs play crucial roles in forming autophagosomes possibly by providing essential lipids and serving as a supportive autophagosome assembly platform at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-LD interface. LDs and autophagosomes share common proteins, such as VPS13, ATG2, ZFYVE1/DFCP1, and ATG14, but their dual functions remain poorly understood. In our recent study, we found that prolonged starvation leads to ATG3 localizing to large LDs and lipidating LC3B, revealing a non-canonical autophagic role on LDs. In vitro, ATG3 associates with purified and artificial LDs, and conjugated Atg8-family proteins. In long-term starved cells, only LC3B is found on the specific large LDs, positioned near LC3B-positive membranes that undergo lysosome-mediated acidification. This implies that LD-lipidated LC3B acts as a tethering factor, connecting phagophores to LDs and promoting degradation. Our data also support the notion that certain LD surfaces may function as lipidation stations for LC3B, which may move to nearby sites of autophagosome formation. Overall, our study unveils an unknown non-canonical implication of LDs in autophagy processes.<b>Abbreviation:</b> ATG: autophagy-related enzyme, ATP: adenosine triphosphate, E2 enzyme: ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, ER: endoplasmic reticulum, LD: lipid droplet, LIR motif: LC3-interacting region, MAP1LC3B/LC3B: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta, PE: phosphatidylethanolamine, PLIN1: perilipin 1, PNPLA2/ATGL: patatin-like phospholipase domain containing 2, SQSTM1/p62: sequestosome 1, VSP13: vacuolar protein sorting 13, ZFYVE1/DFCP1: zinc finger, FYVE domain containing 1.</p>","PeriodicalId":8722,"journal":{"name":"Autophagy","volume":" ","pages":"3251-3253"},"PeriodicalIF":14.6,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10621252/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10060314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
