Abstract
Silicosis is an occupational lung disease characterized by persistent inflammation and irreversible fibrosis. Crystalline silica (CS) particles are mainly phagocytized by alveolar macrophages (AMs), which trigger apoptosis, inflammation, and pulmonary fibrosis. Previously, we found that autophagy-lysosomal system dysfunction in AMs was involved in CS-induced inflammation and fibrosis. Induction of autophagy and lysosomal biogenesis by transcription factor EB (TFEB) nuclear translocation can rescue fibrotic diseases. However, the role of TFEB in silicosis is unknown. In this study, we found that CS induced TFEB nuclear localization and increased TFEB expression in macrophages both in vivo and in vitro. However, TFEB overexpression or treatment with the TFEB activator trehalose (Tre) alleviated lysosomal dysfunction and enhanced autophagic flux. It also reduced apoptosis, inflammatory cytokine levels, and fibrosis. Both pharmacologically inhibition of autophagy and TFEB knockdown in macrophages significantly abolished the antiapoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects elicited by either TFEB overexpression or Tre treatment. In conclusion, these results uncover a protective role of TFEB-mediated autophagy in silicosis. Our study suggests that restoration of autophagy-lysosomal function by Tre-induced TFEB activation may be a novel strategy for the treatment of silicosis.

Crystalline silica (CS) particles are mainly phagocytized by alveolar macrophages (AMs), which trigger apoptosis, inflammation, and pulmonary fibrosis. Previously, we found that autophagy-lysosomal system dysfunction in AMs was involved in CS-induced inflammation and fibrosis. Induction of autophagy and lysosomal biogenesis by transcription factor EB (TFEB) nuclear translocation can rescue fibrotic diseases. However, the role of TFEB in silicosis is unknown. In this study, we found that CS induced TFEB nuclear localization and increased TFEB expression in macrophages both in vivo and in vitro. However, TFEB overexpression or treatment with the TFEB activator trehalose (Tre) alleviated lysosomal dysfunction and enhanced autophagic flux. It also reduced apoptosis, inflammatory cytokine levels, and fibrosis. Both pharmacologically inhibition of autophagy and TFEB knockdown in macrophages significantly abolished the antiapoptotic and anti-inflammatory effects elicited by either TFEB overexpression or Tre treatment. In conclusion, these results uncover a protective role of TFEB-mediated autophagy in silicosis. Our study suggests that restoration of autophagy-lysosomal function by Tre-induced TFEB activation may be a novel strategy for the treatment of silicosis.</p></abstract><kwd-group><kwd>TFEB</kwd><kwd>trehalose</kwd><kwd>silicosis</kwd><kwd>alveolar macrophages</kwd><kwd>autophagy</kwd><kwd>lysosome</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body><sec sec-type="intro" id="sec1-cells-09-00122"><title>1. Introduction</title><p>Silicosis is caused by the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica (CS), which causes persistent inflammation and irreversible fibrosis. Silicosis is a progressive condition that is almost always fatal even when exposure to CS dust has ceased [<xref rid="B1-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">1</xref>,<xref rid="B2-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>,<xref rid="B3-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>]. It is generally accepted that alveolar macrophages (AMs) are the first and main target cells to contact with CS particles [<xref rid="B4-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>]. The primary function of resident AMs is to keep the air spaces clear by the removal of foreign substances; however, CS cannot be degraded and eventually causes fibrosis [<xref rid="B5-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>,<xref rid="B6-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>]. Apoptosis of AMs appears to play a critical role in silicosis. Apoptotic AMs release their contents, which can aggravate apoptosis and the inflammatory response to induce tissue damage and fibrosis [<xref rid="B7-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>]. Moreover, apoptotic AMs release ingested CS particles that are re-phagocytosed by healthy AMs, resulting in a cycle of persistent inflammation, and lung tissue damage [<xref rid="B8-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>,<xref rid="B9-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>]. </p><p>Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved cellular process that maintains cell homeostasis by disposing of denatured proteins and damaged organelles through a lysosomal degradation pathway [<xref rid="B10-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>,<xref rid="B11-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>]. Lysosomes fuse with phagosomes to degrade their contents, which contributes to lysosomal membrane permeabilization (LMP) [<xref rid="B4-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>,<xref rid="B12-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>]. Increased lysosome injury is observed in AMs in response to the uptake of CS particles. Previously, we showed that CS-induced lysosome destruction impaired autophagic substrate degradation in the AMs of silicosis patients [<xref rid="B13-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]. However, the mechanism by which AM autophagy plays a role in silicosis is still unclear. An increased number of autophagosomes has been observed in the CS-induced damage to macrophages [<xref rid="B13-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>,<xref rid="B14-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>,<xref rid="B15-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>,<xref rid="B16-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>]. Therefore, restoring the autophagy-lysosomal system function and enhancing the autophagic flux could provide a molecular target to delay CS-induced persistent inflammation and fibrosis. </p><p>Transcription factor EB (TFEB) is a master regulator of autophagy-related gene transcription and lysosome biogenesis [<xref rid="B17-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>,<xref rid="B18-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>,<xref rid="B19-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>]. TFEB activation is efficacious against inflammatory and fibrotic diseases [<xref rid="B20-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">20</xref>,<xref rid="B21-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>]. Trehalose (Tre) is an mTOR-independent inducer of autophagy that can improve the clinical symptoms of neurodegenerative disorders in animal models [<xref rid="B22-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>]. In atherosclerosis, Tre induced macrophage autophagy-lysosomal biogenesis and produced similar effects to TFEB overexpression in macrophages [<xref rid="B23-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">23</xref>,<xref rid="B24-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">24</xref>]. However, the roles of TFEB and Tre in CS-induced pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis have not been explored. Therefore, in this study, we assessed the role of TFEB in silicosis models and investigated whether Tre could alleviate CS-induced inflammation and fibrosis via the activation of the TFEB-mediated autophagy-lysosomal system.</p></sec><sec id="sec2-cells-09-00122"><title>2.

To further elucidate the role of TFEB in CS-treated macrophages, we established MH-S cell lines with either TFEB knockdown or overexpression.

These data suggest that TFEB overexpression could promote the production of autophagy-related proteins and facilitate the degradation of autophagic substrates in CS-treated MH-S cells. We also assessed the synthesis and degradation of autophagic substrates after CS treatment using BAF and CQ.

A reduction in apoptosis and inflammation could effectively delay the progression of fibrogenesis [<xref rid="B44-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>]. In this study, we demonstrated that CS induced TFEB nuclear localization and upregulated TFEB expression, which could be related to macrophage lysosomal disruption. TFEB overexpression or treatment with the TFEB activator Tre restored lysosomal function, accelerated autophagic substrate degradation, and enhanced autophagic flux in CS-treated AMs in vitro and in vivo. These treatments reduced CS-induced macrophage apoptosis, pulmonary inflammation, and fibrosis. On the basis of these results, we proposed a potential molecular mechanism for the protective effect of Tre against CS-induced pulmonary fibrosis through the regulation of the autophagy-lysosome system in AMs (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cells-09-00122-f008">Figure 8</xref>).</p><p>TFEB, a master regulator of the autophagy-lysosomal pathway, is closely associated with inflammation and fibrosis [<xref rid="B17-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>,<xref rid="B45-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">45</xref>].

We studied the role of TFEB in CS-treated macrophages by knocking it down or overexpressing it in MH-S cells. Surprisingly, TFEB knockdown exacerbated CS-induced cell apoptosis and the inflammatory response (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="cells-09-00122-f002">Figure 2</xref>D–K).

However, in this study, we found that LC3II expression was decreased in the CS + Tre-treated AMs as compared with the CS-treated alone. We reasoned that Tre might restore lysosomal function that was disrupted by CS particles, enhance the autophagic flux, and promote the degradation of autophagic substrates [<xref rid="B60-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">60</xref>]. Indeed, the results with mRFP-GFP-LC3 adenovirus-transfected MH-S cells verified that Tre could enhance autophagic flux and alleviate CS-induced autophagosome accumulation. Previously, our group demonstrated that promoting mitophagy in AMs could alleviate CS-induced tissue injury [<xref rid="B15-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>]. In this study, we found that Tre could protect lysosomes to alleviate the detrimental effects induced by CS. All these conclusions are based on the premise that autophagic flux was not completely blocked in our experimental systems. A regular autophagic flux is necessary for maintaining homeostasis in cells [<xref rid="B61-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">61</xref>].</p><p>Lysosomes are acid organelles for degradation at the end of the autophagic flux. Lysosomal defects disturb the degradation of autophagic substrates, leading to the accumulation of autophagosomes [<xref rid="B62-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">62</xref>,<xref rid="B63-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">63</xref>]. In the AMs from silicosis patients, lysosomal defects can lead to the inhibition of autophagic degradation [<xref rid="B13-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]. Engulfed CS in these AMs can destroy the lysosomes, thereby blocking autophagic flux. This blockage could lead to the accumulation of autophagosomes, macrophage apoptosis, and an increased inflammatory response. In this study, we used BAF and CQ to measure autophagosomes synthesis and degradation through changes in LC3-II levels. We found that the elevated numbers of autophagosomes in CS-treated MH-S cells resulted from both the activation of autophagy and inhibition of cargo degradation (<xref ref-type="app" rid="app1-cells-09-00122">Figure S5</xref>) [<xref rid="B64-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">64</xref>]. Both TFEB overexpression and Tre treatment could improve lysosomal function and accelerate autophagosome degradation. These effects alleviated the detrimental effects induced by CS. Silicosis is closely associated with apoptosis and the release of proinflammatory and profibrotic cytokines by AMs. A reduction in apoptosis and inflammation could effectively delay the progression of pulmonary fibrosis [<xref rid="B44-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">44</xref>]. The secretion of cytokines, including IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, and MCP-1, plays a certain role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis [<xref rid="B29-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">29</xref>]. Indeed, silica-induced collagen deposition is almost completely prevented by treatment with an anti-TNF antibody [<xref rid="B65-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">65</xref>]. Treatment with Tre effectively abrogates Cl<sub>2</sub>- and LPS-induced pulmonary inflammatory cascades, in the lung [<xref rid="B66-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">66</xref>,<xref rid="B67-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">67</xref>]. In this study, we found that TFEB overexpression or Tre treatment reduced CS-induced apoptosis and inflammation. In contrast, TFEB knockdown reversed these mitigative effects. Tre also effectively alleviated pulmonary fibrosis in the CS-treated mice. On the basis of these results, we reason that Tre exerts anti-inflammatory and antifibrotic effects by restoring lysosomal function and promoting autophagic substrate degradation. </p><p>In summary, the findings of this study suggest that autophagy-lysosomal system dysfunction could represent a therapeutic target against CS-induced damage. Moreover, we demonstrated a potential therapeutic strategy (i.e., Tre) that could improve lysosomal function and accelerate autophagosome degradation. This strategy could reduce the apoptosis in AMs and alleviate the inflammatory responses and fibrogenesis through the activation of TFEB-mediated autophagy-lysosome machinery. We showed that both TFEB overexpression and Tre treatment improved lysosomal function in CS-treated MH-S cells. However, understanding the exact mechanism requires further investigation. Selective autophagy of organelles (e.g., mitophagy, lysophagy, and reticulophagy) is critical for the regulation of cellular homeostasis in organisms from yeast to humans [<xref rid="B68-cells-09-00122" ref-type="bibr">68</xref>]. Future experiments should focus on the role of selective autophagy and the relationship between mitophagy, lysophagy, and reticulophagy in Tre-treated silicosis or TFEB-overexpressing or silenced mouse models.</p></sec></body><back><app-group><app id="app1-cells-09-00122"><title>Supplementary Materials</title><p>The following are available online at <uri xlink:href="https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4409/9/1/122/s1">https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4409/9/1/122/s1</uri>, Figure S1: Administration method of trehalose in experimental mouse model of silicosis; Figure S2: Transfection efficiency of TFEB knockdown and overexpression lentivirus; Figure S3: Viability of MH-S incubated with different concentrations of BAF, CQ, and 3MA; Figure S4: Effects of CS and/or Tre on cell viabilities in MH-S cells after 12 h treatment; Figure S5: Immunoblotting analysis of LC3II after CS treatment with or without Bafilomycin A1/CQ; Figure S6: Immunoblotting analysis of protein CTSB and Cas3 in BALF or in cell supernatant; Figure S7: The body weights of animals after CS and Tre administration.</p><supplementary-material content-type="local-data" id="cells-09-00122-s001"><media xlink:href="cells-09-00122-s001.pdf"><caption><p>Click here for additional data file.</p></caption></media></supplementary-material></app></app-group><notes><title>Author Contributions</title><p>Conceptualization, S.C. and J.C.; funding acquisition, S.C.; project administration, X.H., S.C., C.L., J.B., Y.W., and Y.H.; software, X.H.; supervision, J.C.; writing—original draft, X.H., S.C., and C.L.; review and editing of the manuscript, X.H., C.L., F.L., Y.C., and J.C.
