High-throughput screening of novel TFEB agonists in protecting against acetaminophen-induced liver injury in mice

Macroautophagy(referred to as autophagy hereafter)is a major intracellular lysosomal degra-dation pathway that is responsible for the degradation of misfolded/damaged proteins and organelles.Pre-vious studies showed that autophagy protects against acetaminophen(APAP)-induced injury(AILI)via selective removal of damaged mitochondria and APAP protein adducts.The lysosome is a critical organelle sitting at the end stage of autophagy for autophagic degradation via fusion with autophagosomes.In the present study,we showed that transcription factor EB(TFEB),a master transcription factor for lysosomal biogenesis,was impaired by APAP resulting in decreased lysosomal biogenesis in mouse livers.Genetic loss-of and gain-of function of hepatic TFEB exacerbated or protected against AILI,respectively.Mecha-nistically,overexpression of TFEB increased clearance of APAP protein adducts and mitochondria biogen-esis as well as SQSTM1/p62-dependent non-canonical nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2(NRF2)activation to protect against AILI.We also performed an unbiased cell-based imaging high-throughput chemical screening on TFEB and identified a group of TFEB agonists.Among these agonists,salinomycin,an anticoccidial and antibacterial agent,activated TFEB and protected against AILI in mice.In conclusion,genetic and pharmacological activating TFEB may be a promising approach for protecting against AILI.
