Understanding the transcription factors that modulate epithelial resistance to injury is necessary for understanding intestinal homeostasis and injury repair processes. Recently, transcription factor EB (TFEB) was implicated in expression of autophagy and host defense genes in nematodes and mammalian cells. However, the  in vivo  roles of TFEB in the mammalian intestinal epithelium were not known. Here, we used mice with a conditional deletion of  Tfeb  in the intestinal epithelium ( Tfeb   ΔIEC ) to examine its importance in defense against injury. Unperturbed  Tfeb   ΔIEC  mice exhibited grossly normal intestinal epithelia, except for a defect in Paneth cell granules.  Tfeb   ΔIEC  mice exhibited lower levels of lipoprotein  ApoA1  expression, which is downregulated in Crohn’s disease patients and causally linked to colitis susceptibility. Upon environmental epithelial injury using dextran sodium sulfate (DSS),  Tfeb   ΔIEC  mice exhibited exaggerated colitis. Thus, our study reveals that TFEB is critical for resistance to intestinal epithelial cell injury, potentially mediated by APOA1.
