Tat-beclin 1 (Tat-BECN1), a peptide known to stimulate autophagy through mobilization of endogenous Beclin 1, induces autophagy in vitro and in vivo and improves clinical outcomes.
Tat-beclin 1 is a cell-permeable peptide that induces autophagy. Treatment with Tat-beclin 1, but not Tat-scrambled, results in a dose-dependent decrease in amounts of p62, a selective autophagy substrate, and a dose-dependent conversion of the non-lipidated form of LC3, LC3-I, to the lipidated, autophagosome-associated form of LC3, LC3-II, in multiple cell lines and primary murine embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs). Tat-beclin 1 markedly inhibits HIV-1 replication in primary human monocyte-derived macrophages[1].
Tat-beclin 1 can induce autophagy in peripheral tissues in adult mice as well as in the central nervous system of neonatal mice. Daily Tat-beclin 1 peptide treatment is well-tolerated in both neonatal and adult mice. Tat-beclin 1 peptide improves the clinical outcome of mice with CNS WNV(West Nile virus) infection[1].

Tat-beclin 1 represses the carcinogenesis of DUSP4-positive PTC by enhancing autophagy
Mol Biol Rep 2023 Feb;50(2):1425-1436.PMID:36474060DOI:10.1007/s11033-022-08109-2.
Background: DUSP4 is a pro-tumorigenic molecule of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). DUSP4 also exists as an autophagic regulator. Moreover, DUSP4, as a negative regulator of MAPK, can prevent Beclin 1 from participating in autophagic response. This study aimed to explore whether Tat-beclin 1, a recombinant protein of Beclin 1, could inhibit the tumorigenesis of DUSP4-positive PTC by regulating autophagy. Methods: First, we divided PTC tissues into three groups according to DUSP4 expression levels by immunohistochemical analyses, and evaluated the relationship between autophagic molecules (Beclin 1 and LC3II) and DUSP4 using Western blotting assays. After overexpression of DUSP4 by lentiviral transduction, the in vitro and in vivo roles of Tat-beclin 1 on DUSP4-overexpressed PTC cells were assessed (including autophagic activity, cell survival and function, and tumor growth). The roles of Tat-beclin 1 in the survival of DUSP4-silenced PTC cells were also evaluated. Results: Our results showed that the expression levels of autophagic proteins decreased with the increase of DUSP4 expression in PTC tissues. In PTC cells, DUSP4 overexpression-inhibited autophagic activity (including Beclin 1 expression, LC3 conversion rate and LC3-puncta formation) and -promoted cell proliferation and migration were reversed by Tat-beclin 1 administration. In vivo assays also showed that DUSP4-overexpressed PTC cells had stronger tumorigenic ability and weaker autophagic activity, which was blocked by Tat-beclin 1 administration. Conclusion: Tat-beclin 1, as an autophagic promoter, could repress the carcinogenesis of DUSP4-positive PTC, which implies that the use of Tat-beclin 1 for the PTC patients' treatment might be determined according to the DUSP4 level in their tumors.
Autophagy and post-ischemic conditioning in retinal ischemia
Autophagy 2021 Jun;17(6):1479-1499.PMID:32452260DOI:10.1080/15548627.2020.1767371.
Retinal ischemia is a major cause of vision loss and a common underlying mechanism associated with diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy and central retinal artery occlusion. We have previously demonstrated the robust neuroprotection in retina induced by post-conditioning (post-C), a brief period of ischemia, 24 h, following a prolonged and damaging initial ischemia. The mechanisms underlying post-C-mediated retinal protection are largely uncharacterized. We hypothesized that macroautophagy/autophagy is a mediator of post-C-induced neuroprotection. This study employed an in vitro model of oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) in the retinal R28 neuronal cell line, and an in vivo rat model of retinal ischemic injury. In vivo, there were significant increases in autophagy proteins, MAP1LC3-II/LC3-II, and decreases in SQSTM1/p62 (sequestosome 1) in ischemia/post-C vs. ischemia/sham post-C. Blockade of Atg5 and Atg7 in vivo decreased LC3-II, increased SQSTM1, attenuated the functional protective effect of post-C, and increased histological damage and TUNEL compared to non-silencing siRNA. TUNEL after ischemia in vivo was found in retinal ganglion, amacrine, and photoreceptor cells. Blockade of Atg5 attenuated the post-C neuroprotection by a brief period of OGD in vitro. Moreover, in vitro, post-C attenuated cell death, loss of cellular proliferation, and defective autophagic flux from prolonged OGD. Stimulating autophagy using Tat-beclin 1 rescued retinal neurons from cell death after OGD. As a whole, our results suggest that autophagy is required for the neuroprotective effect of retinal ischemic post-conditioning and augmentation of autophagy offers promise in the treatment of retinal ischemic injury.Abbreviations: BECN1: Beclin 1, autophagy related; DAPI: 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole; DR: diabetic retinopathy; EdU: 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine; ERG: Electroretinogram; FITC: Fluorescein isothiocyanate; GCL: Ganglion cell layer; GFAP: Glial fibrillary acidic protein; INL: Inner nuclear layer; IPL: Inner plexiform layer; MAP1LC3/LC3: Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3; OGD: Oxygen-glucose deprivation; ONL: Outer nuclear layer; OP: Oscillatory potential; PFA: Paraformaldehyde; PL: Photoreceptor layer; post-C: post-conditioning; RFP: Red fluorescent protein; RGC: Retinal ganglion cell; RPE: Retinal pigment epithelium; RT-PCR: Real-time polymerase chain reaction; SEM: Standard error of the mean; siRNA: Small interfering RNA; SQSTM1: Sequestosome 1; STR: Scotopic threshold response; Tat: Trans-activator of transcription; TUNEL: Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling.
AMPK-Mediated BECN1 Phosphorylation Promotes Ferroptosis by Directly Blocking System Xc- Activity
Curr Biol 2018 Aug 6;28(15):2388-2399.e5.PMID:30057310DOI:10.1016/j.cub.2018.05.094.
Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death triggered by lipid peroxidation after inhibition of the cystine/glutamate antiporter system Xc-. However, key regulators of system Xc- activity in ferroptosis remain undefined. Here, we show that BECN1 plays a hitherto unsuspected role in promoting ferroptosis through directly blocking system Xc- activity via binding to its core component, SLC7A11 (solute carrier family 7 member 11). Knockdown of BECN1 by shRNA inhibits ferroptosis induced by system Xc- inhibitors (e.g., erastin, sulfasalazine, and sorafenib), but not other ferroptosis inducers including RSL3, FIN56, and buthionine sulfoximine. Mechanistically, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-mediated phosphorylation of BECN1 at Ser90/93/96 is required for BECN1-SLC7A11 complex formation and lipid peroxidation. Inhibition of PRKAA/AMPKα by siRNA or compound C diminishes erastin-induced BECN1 phosphorylation at S93/96, BECN1-SLC7A11 complex formation, and subsequent ferroptosis. Accordingly, a BECN1 phosphorylation-defective mutant (S90,93,96A) reverses BECN1-induced lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Importantly, genetic and pharmacological activation of the BECN1 pathway by overexpression of the protein in tumor cells or by administration of the BECN1 activator peptide Tat-beclin 1, respectively, increases ferroptotic cancer cell death (but not apoptosis and necroptosis) in vitro and in vivo in subcutaneous and orthotopic tumor mouse models. Collectively, our work reveals that BECN1 plays a novel role in lipid peroxidation that could be exploited to improve anticancer therapy by the induction of ferroptosis.
Drp1-Dependent Mitochondrial Autophagy Plays a Protective Role Against Pressure Overload-Induced Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Heart Failure
Circulation 2016 Mar 29;133(13):1249-63.PMID:26915633DOI:10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.115.020502.
Background: Mitochondrial autophagy is an important mediator of mitochondrial quality control in cardiomyocytes. The occurrence of mitochondrial autophagy and its significance during cardiac hypertrophy are not well understood. Methods and results: Mice were subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC) and observed at multiple time points up to 30 days. Cardiac hypertrophy developed after 5 days, the ejection fraction was reduced after 14 days, and heart failure was observed 30 days after TAC. General autophagy was upregulated between 1 and 12 hours after TAC but was downregulated below physiological levels 5 days after TAC. Mitochondrial autophagy, evaluated by electron microscopy, mitochondrial content, and Keima with mitochondrial localization signal, was transiently activated at ≈3 to 7 days post-TAC, coinciding with mitochondrial translocation of Drp1. However, it was downregulated thereafter, followed by mitochondrial dysfunction. Haploinsufficiency of Drp1 abolished mitochondrial autophagy and exacerbated the development of both mitochondrial dysfunction and heart failure after TAC. Injection of Tat-beclin 1, a potent inducer of autophagy, but not control peptide, on day 7 after TAC, partially rescued mitochondrial autophagy and attenuated mitochondrial dysfunction and heart failure induced by overload. Haploinsufficiency of either drp1 or beclin 1 prevented the rescue by Tat-beclin 1, suggesting that its effect is mediated in part through autophagy, including mitochondrial autophagy. Conclusions: Mitochondrial autophagy is transiently activated and then downregulated in the mouse heart in response to pressure overload. Downregulation of mitochondrial autophagy plays an important role in mediating the development of mitochondrial dysfunction and heart failure, whereas restoration of mitochondrial autophagy attenuates dysfunction in the heart during pressure overload.
Ulk1-dependent alternative mitophagy plays a protective role during pressure overload in the heart
Cardiovasc Res 2022 Sep 20;118(12):2638-2651.PMID:35018428DOI:10.1093/cvr/cvac003.
Aims: Well-controlled mitochondrial homeostasis, including a mitochondria-specific form of autophagy (hereafter referred to as mitophagy), is essential for maintaining cardiac function. The molecular mechanism mediating mitophagy during pressure overload (PO) is poorly understood. We have shown previously that mitophagy in the heart is mediated primarily by Atg5/Atg7-independent mechanisms, including Unc-51-like kinase 1 (Ulk1)-dependent alternative mitophagy, during myocardial ischaemia. Here, we investigated the role of alternative mitophagy in the heart during PO-induced hypertrophy. Methods and results: Mitophagy was observed in the heart in response to transverse aortic constriction (TAC), peaking at 3-5 days. Whereas mitophagy is transiently up-regulated by TAC through an Atg7-dependent mechanism in the heart, peaking at 1 day, it is also activated more strongly and with a delayed time course through an Ulk1-dependent mechanism. TAC induced more severe cardiac dysfunction, hypertrophy, and fibrosis in ulk1 cardiac-specific knock-out (cKO) mice than in wild-type mice. Delayed activation of mitophagy was characterized by the co-localization of Rab9 dots and mitochondria and phosphorylation of Rab9 at Ser179, major features of alternative mitophagy. Furthermore, TAC-induced decreases in the mitochondrial aspect ratio were abolished and the irregularity of mitochondrial cristae was exacerbated, suggesting that mitochondrial quality control mechanisms are impaired in ulk1 cKO mice in response to TAC. Tat-beclin 1 activates mitophagy even in Ulk1-deficient conditions. Tat-beclin 1 treatment rescued mitochondrial dysfunction and cardiac dysfunction in ulk1 cKO mice during PO. Conclusion: Ulk1-mediated alternative mitophagy is a major mechanism mediating mitophagy in response to PO and plays an important role in mediating mitochondrial quality control mechanisms and protecting the heart against cardiac dysfunction.
