PKCz restrains cancer cell transformation by inhibiting nutrient stress-induced metabolic reprogramming

ABSTRACT: Tumor cells utilize the so-called Warburg effect to allow for rapid proliferation with glucose as the main nutrient. We show here that, although PKCz is critical for that effect, its deficiency promotes the plasticity necessary for nutrient-stressed cancer cells to reprogram their metabolism to utilize glutamine through the serine biosynthetic pathway, empowering them to survive and proliferate in the absence of glucose. We show that PKCz deficiency enhances glutamine utilization and expression of two key enzymes of the pathway, PGHDGH and PSAT1, in cells cultured in the absence of glucose. The loss of PKCz in mice results in enhanced intestinal tumorigenesis and increased levels of these two metabolic enzymes, while patients with low levels of PKCz have a poor prognosis. Taken together, this suggests that PKCz is a critical metabolic tumor suppressor. SW480 cells were infected with lentivirus expressing PKCz RNA interference (shPKCz) and a control lentivirus (shNT). The elimination of endogenous PKCz with shPKCz transfection was >90% efficient. Cells transfected with shNT had unaltered levels of PKCz. To mimic the conditions of nutrient stress to which tumor cells are normally exposed, both cell types were initially seeded in DMEM with 10% FBS, and cultured without subsequent further media changes, which led to nutrient exhaustion over time. Total RNA was harvested from three independent biological replicates for shPKCz and shNT transfected cells.

Glutamine depletion regulates Slug to promote EMT and metastasis in pancreatic cancer [mouse]

Project description:Tumor cells rely on glutamine to fulfill their metabolic demands and sustain proliferation. The elevated consumption of glutamine can lead to intratumoral nutrient depletion, causing metabolic stress that has the potential to impact tumor progression. Here, we show that nutrient stress caused by glutamine deprivation leads to the induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells. Mechanistically, we demonstrate that glutamine deficiency regulates EMT through the upregulation of the EMT master regulator Slug, a process that is dependent on both MEK/ERK signaling and ATF4. We find that Slug is required in PDAC cells for glutamine deprivation-induced EMT, cell motility and nutrient stress survival. Importantly, we decipher that Slug is associated with nutrient stress in PDAC tumors and is required for metastasis. These results delineate a novel role for Slug in the nutrient stress response and provide insight into how nutrient depletion might influence PDAC progression.

A role for p53 in the adaptation to glutamine starvation through the expression of Slc1a3

Project description:Numerous mechanisms to support cells under conditions of transient nutrient starvation have been described. The tumor suppressor protein p53 can contribute to the adaptation of cells to metabolic stress through various mechanisms that may help cancer cell survival in nutrient limiting conditions. We show here that p53 helps cancer cells to survive glutamine starvation by promoting the expression of SLC1A3, an aspartate/glutamate transporter that allows the utilization of aspartate to support cells in the absence of extracellular glutamine. Under glutamine deprivation, SLC1A3 expression maintains electron transport chain and tricarboxylic acid cycle activity, promoting de novo glutamate, glutamine and nucleotide synthesis to rescue cell viability. Tumor cells with high levels of SLC1A3 expression are resistant to glutamine starvation and SLC1A3 depletion retards the growth of these cells in vitro and in vivo, suggesting a therapeutic potential for SLC1A3 inhibition.

Phosphoethanolamine Accumulation Protects Cancer Cells under Glutamine Starvation through Downregulation of PCYT2

Project description:The conditions of the tumor microenvironment, such as nutrient starvation, play critical roles in cancer progression. However, the role of glutamine deprivation in cancer progression is not studied as extensively as that of hypoxia. Here, we show that glutamine starvation triggered down-regulation of PCYT2 by stimulating accumulation of PEtn. Interestingly, glutamine upregulated series of glutamine-responsive genes, not only PCYT2. Furthermore, glutamine-responsive genes were associated with overall survival of cancer patients. Thus, our findings show that glutamine responsive genes such as PCYT2 are key for progression of cancer cells, partly protecting cancer cells to glutamine starvation.

BxPC-3 cells: growth in different nutrients

Project description:The MondoA transcription factor forms a heterocomplex with its obligate partner Mlx to regulate ~75% of glucose-dependent transcription. By mediating glucose-induced activation of thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP), MondoA directly represses glucose uptake. Given the predominant role of MondoA in controlling glucose-dependent transcription and glucose uptake, we asked whether glutamine regulates MondoA activity. Expression profiles from glucose and glutamine starved BxPC-3 cells (-G-Q) were compared with those from cells grown in glucose only (+G-Q), glutamine only (-G+Q) or glucose plus glutamine (+G+Q). As expected, TXNIP expression was highly induced by glucose. However, the addition of glutamine repressed the glucose-dependent induction of TXNIP. We show that glutamine inhibits MondoA-dependent transcriptional activation of TXNIP by triggering the recruitment of a histone deacetylase-dependent corepressor to the amino terminus of MondoA. Consistent with the repression of TXNIP, glucose uptake is elevated in cells grown in the presence of glucose and glutamine. Finally, alpha-ketoglutarate, a tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediate, also blocks MondoA-dependent activation of TXNIP and stimulates glucose uptake. Together, these results suggest that glutamine-dependent mitochondrial anapleurosis stimulates glucose uptake by restricting TXNIP expression via MondoA:Mlx complexes.

Oncogenic KRAS mediates amino acid metabolism during nutrient stress via regulation of NRF2 and ATF4 in NSCLC [shKRAS low Q]

Project description:Glutamine is a key nutrient for tumor cells that supports nucleotide and amino acid biosynthesis, replenishes the TCA cycle intermediates and contributes to redox metabolism. We identified oncogenic KRAS as a critical regulator of the response to glutamine deprivation in NSCLC. Full activation of the ATF4 stress response pathway is dependent on expression of NRF2 downstream of oncogenic KRAS in NSCLC. Through this mechanism, KRAS alters amino acid uptake and metabolism and sustains mTORC1 signaling during nutrient stress. Furthermore, we identified regulation of asparagine synthetase (ASNS) as a key effect of oncogenic KRAS signaling via ATF4 during glutamine deprivation, and a potential therapeutic target in KRAS mutant NSCLC.
