Mounting attention has been focused on defects of the autophagy-lysosomal pathway in sepsis, however, the precise mechanisms governing the autophagy-lysosomal process in sepsis are poorly known. We have previously reported that Erbin deficiency aggravated the inflammatory response and organ injuries caused by sepsis. In the present study, we found that Erbin knockout impaired the autophagy process in both muramyl dipeptide (MDP)-induced bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) and sepsis mouse liver and lung, as detected by the accumulation of LC3-II and SQSTM1/p62, and autophagosomes. Pretreatment with autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CQ) further aggravated inflammatory response and organ injuries in vivo and in vitro sepsis model. We also observed that the impaired lysosomal function mediated autophagic blockade, as detected by the decreased expression of ATP6V, cathepsin B (CTSB) and LAMP2 protein. Immunoprecipitation revealed that the C-terminal of Erbin (aa 391–964) interacts with the N-terminal of transcription factor EB (TFEB) (aa 1–247), and affects the stability of TFEB-14-3-3 and TFEB-PPP3CB complexes and the phosphorylation status of TFEB, thereby promote the nucleus translocation of TFEB and the TFEB target genes transcription. Thus, our study suggested that Erbin alleviated sepsis-induced inflammatory responses and organ injuries by rescuing dysfunction of the autophagy-lysosomal pathway through TFEB-14-3-3 and TFEB-PPP3CB pathway.
