Regulation Of Cell Cycle

The transcription factors TFE3 and TFEB cooperate to regulate autophagy induction and lysosome biogenesis in response to starvation. Here we demonstrate that DNA damage activates TFE3 and TFEB in a p53 and mTORC1 dependent manner. RNA-Seq analysis of TFEB/TFE3 double-knockout cells exposed to etoposide reveals a profound dysregulation of the DNA damage response, including upstream regulators and downstream p53 targets. TFE3 and TFEB contribute to sustain p53-dependent response by stabilizing p53 protein levels. In TFEB/TFE3 DKOs, p53 half-life is significantly decreased due to elevated Mdm2 levels. Transcriptional profiles of genes involved in lysosome membrane permeabilization and cell death pathways are dysregulated in TFEB/TFE3-depleted cells. Consequently, prolonged DNA damage results in impaired LMP and apoptosis induction. Finally, expression of multiple genes implicated in cell cycle control is altered in TFEB/TFE3 DKOs, revealing a previously unrecognized role of TFEB and TFE3 in the regulation of cell cycle checkpoints in response to stress.

Hyperoxic Lung Injury

The beneficial use of supplemental oxygen therapies to increase arterial blood oxygen levels and reduce tissue hypoxia is offset by the knowledge that it injures and kills cells, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. Although many studies have focused on understanding how hyperoxia kills cells, recent findings reveal that it also inhibits proliferation through activation of cell cycle checkpoints rather than through overt cytotoxicity. Cell cycle checkpoints are thought to be protective because they allow additional time for injured cells to repair damaged DNA and other essential molecules. During recovery in room air, the lung undergoes a burst of proliferation to replace injured and dead cells. Failure to terminate this proliferation has been associated with fibrosis. These observations suggest that growth-suppressive signals, which inhibit proliferation of injured cells and terminate proliferation when tissue repair has been completed, may play an important role in the pulmonary response to hyperoxia. Because DNA replication is coupled with DNA repair, activation of cell cycle checkpoints during hyperoxia may be a mechanism by which cells protect themselves from oxidant genotoxic stress. This review examines the effect of hyperoxia on DNA integrity, pulmonary cell proliferation, and cell cycle checkpoints activated by DNA damage.
