AbstractTFEB and TFE3 are transcriptional regulators of the innate immune response, but the mechanisms regulating their activation upon pathogen infection are poorly elucidated. UsingC. elegansand mammalian models, we report that the master metabolic modulator 5’-AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and its negative regulator Folliculin (FLCN) act upstream of TFEB/TFE3 in the innate immune response, independently of the mTORC1 signaling pathway. In nematodes, loss of FLCN or overexpression of AMPK conferred pathogen resistanceviaactivation of TFEB/TFE3-dependent antimicrobial genes, while ablation of total AMPK activity abolished this phenotype. Similarly, in mammalian cells, loss of FLCN or pharmacological activation of AMPK induced TFEB/TFE3-dependent pro-inflammatory cytokine expression. Importantly, a rapid reduction in cellular ATP levels in murine macrophages was observed upon lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment accompanied by an acute AMPK activation and TFEB nuclear localization. These results uncover an ancient, highly conserved and pharmacologically actionable mechanism coupling energy status with innate immunity.

SummaryInfection of rats with 2000 infective juveniles ofNippostrongylus brasiliensisand of lambs with 60000 infective juveniles ofNematodirus battusresults in a well-marked immunity to these nematodes in their respective hosts. There is a fall in the adenylate energy charge value of these nematodes during the course of these infections, reaching values of 0·37 in males and 0·27 in females ofN. brasiliensis, and 0·31 in males and 0·23 in females ofN. battustowards the end of the infections. In hosts given relatively small numbers of infective juveniles, the values for the nematodes removed from the hosts late in the infection remain at a relatively high level. These results indicate that the immune response of the host may affect the energy status of these nematodes, and this could help to explain their subsequent expulsion from the immune host.
