Project description:The microenvironment of solid tumors is dynamic and frequently contain pockets of low oxygen levels (hypoxia) surrounded by regions of normal oxygen levels. Indeed, a compromised vascular is a is hallmark of the tumor microenvironment, creating gradients of hypoxia. Notably, hypoxia associates with increased metastasis and poor survival in patients. Therefore, to aid therapeutic decisions and better understand hypoxia's role in cancer progression, it is critical to identify endogenous biomarkers of hypoxia to spatially phenotype oncogenic lesions in human tissue, whether precancerous, benign, or malignant. Here, we characterize the glucose transporter GLUT3/SLC2A3 as a biomarker of hypoxia prostate epithelial cells and prostate tumors. Transcriptomic analyses of hypoxic immortalized prostate epithelial cells revealed a highly significant increase in GLUT3 expression. GLUT3 upregulation was also detected by immunostaining in hypoxic prostate epithelial cells and prostate cancer cell lines. Additionally, GLUT3 dramatically co-localized with the hypoxia-marker pimonidazole in xenograft tumors formed from prostate cancer cells and showed distinct concentration gradients within patient-derived xenograft tumors from primary and metastatic prostate cancer. Compared to established hypoxia-response genes, GLUT1 and CA9, GLUT3 shows a higher degree of hypoxia labeling within tumor tissue and may serve as a alternative endogenous biomarker of hypoxia.

Project description:The multifaceted roles of metabolism in invasion have been investigated across many cancers. The brain tumor glioblastoma (GBM) is a highly invasive and metabolically plastic tumor with an inevitable recurrence. The neuronal glucose transporter 3 (GLUT3) was previously reported to correlate with poor glioma patient survival and be upregulated in GBM cells to promote therapeutic resistance and survival under restricted glucose conditions. It has been suggested that the increased glucose uptake mediated by GLUT3 elevation promotes survival of circulating tumor cells to facilitate metastasis. Here we suggest a more direct role for GLUT3 in promoting invasion that is not dependent upon changes in cell survival or metabolism. Analysis of glioma datasets demonstrated that GLUT3, but not GLUT1, expression was elevated in invasive disease. In human xenograft derived GBM cells, GLUT3, but not GLUT1, elevation significantly increased invasion in transwell assays, but not growth or migration. Further, there were no changes in glycolytic metabolism that correlated with invasive phenotypes. We identified the GLUT3 C-terminus as mediating invasion: substituting the C-terminus of GLUT1 for that of GLUT3 reduced invasion. RNA-seq analysis indicated changes in extracellular matrix organization in GLUT3 overexpressing cells, including upregulation of osteopontin. Together, our data suggest a role for GLUT3 in increasing tumor cell invasion that is not recapitulated by GLUT1, is separate from its role in metabolism and survival as a glucose transporter, and is likely broadly applicable since GLUT3 expression correlates with metastasis in many solid tumors.

Project description:The tumor microenvironment presents many obstacles to effective CAR T cell therapy, including glucose competition from tumor and myeloid cells. Using mouse models of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and glioblastoma (GBM), we show that enforced expression of the glucose transporter GLUT1 enhances anti-tumor efficacy and promotes favorable CAR T cell phenotypes for two clinically relevant CAR designs, 19-28z and IL13Ra2-BBz. In the NALM6 ALL model, 19-28z-GLUT1 promotes Tscm formation and prolongs survival. RNA sequencing of these CAR T cells reveals that overexpression of GLUT1, but not GLUT3, enriches for genes involved in glycolysis, mitochondrial respiration, and memory precursor phenotypes. Extending these data, 19-28z-GLUT1 CAR T cells improve tumor control and response to rechallenge in an RCC patient derived xenograft model. Furthermore, IL13Ra2-BBz CAR T cells overexpressing GLUT1 prolong survival of mice bearing orthotopic GBMs and exhibit decreased exhaustion markers. This novel engineering approach can offer a competitive advantage to CAR T cells in harsh tumor environments where glucose is limiting.

Project description:The aim of this work was to elucidate the role of LKB1/STK11 and PARD3 in glioblastoma multiforme cells. For this we silenced the expression of these proteins using specific siRNA in two different patient-derived glioblastoma stem cells, U3031MG and U3034MG, then we analysed how the knock-down of these genes affects gene expression using Ion torrent AmpliseqTM.

Project description:Glioblastoma cells are characterized by a highly invasive behavior whose mechanisms are not yet understood. Using the wound healing and Boyden chamber assays we compared in the present study the migration and invasion abilities of 5 glioblastoma cell lines (DK-MG, GaMG, U87-MG, U373-MG, SNB19) differing in p53 and PTEN status. We also analyzed by Western blotting the expression of PTEN, p53, mTOR and several other marker proteins involved in cell adhesion, migration and invasion. Among 5 cell lines, GaMG cells exhibited the fastest rate of wound closure, whereas U87-MG cells showed the most rapid chemotactic migration in the Boyden chamber assay. In DK-MG and GaMG cells, F-actin mainly occurred in the numerous stress fibers spanning the cytoplasm, whereas U87-MG, U373-MG and SNB19 cells preferentially expressed F-actin in filopodia and lamellipodia. Moreover, the two glioblastoma lines mutated in both p53 and PTEN genes (U373-MG and SNB19) were found to exhibit the fastest invasion rates through the Matrigel matrix. Here, we performed a gene expression profiling of the five glioblastoma cell lines to examine the molecular framework of differences in invasive behavior to find possible targets for chemo- and radiation therapy.

Project description:Glucose transporters are the first and rate-limiting step for cellular glucose usage, which is often exacerbated in tumour cells enabling their growth and proliferation. Although inhibiting glucose metabolism in lung tumours could become an efficient treatment strategy, whether and which glucose transporter(s) should be targeted remains unclear because of their possible functional redundancy, and because other nutrients or transporter-independent metabolic processes including autophagy and macropinocytosis can fuel tumour cell growth in certain contexts. Here we show that glucose transporter Glut1 gene deletion in tumour cells does not impact tumour initiation and only slightly delays progression in a genetically-engineered mouse model of lung adenocarcinoma. Using 13C-glucose tracing with correlated nanoscale secondary ion mass spectrometry (NanoSIMS) and electron microscopy, we report the presence of multiple lamellar body-like organelles produced by tumour cells. Glucose-derived biomass accumulates in these organelles, and this accumulation is decreased in Glut1-deficient tumour cells. Ex vivo, tumour cell glycolysis is impaired in absence of Glut1 except in case of strong expression of another glucose transporter, Glut3. We show that Glut3 is dispensable for Glut1 wild-type tumour development. In contrast, their combined deletion diminishes tumour growth and prevents the appearance of big lesions. Our results demonstrate the requirement for two glucose transporters in lung adenocarcinoma; dual blockade could reach therapeutic responses not achieved by individual targeting.
