Serine Palmitoyltransferase Controls Stemness of Intestinal Progenitors [bulk RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Cancers of the gastrointestinal tract including esophageal adenocarcinomas, colorectal cancers, and cancers of the gastric cardia are common comorbidities of obesity. Excessive delivery of macronutrients to the cells lining the gut can increase one’s risk for these cancer by inducing imbalances in the rate of intestinal stem cell proliferation vs. differentiation, which can produce polyps and other aberrant growths. We demonstrate that serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT), which diverts dietary fatty and amino acids into the sphingolipid biosynthesis pathway, is a critical modulator of intestinal stem cell homeostasis. SPT and other enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway are upregulated in human colon tumors. These enzymes produce sphingolipids that serve as pro-stemness signals that stimulate peroxisome-proliferator activated receptor alpha (PPARa)-mediated induction of fatty acid binding protein-1. This increases fatty acid uptake and oxidation and enhances the stemness program. Serine palmitoyltransferase thus serves as a critical link between dietary macronutrients, epithelial regeneration, and cancer risk.

Sphingolipid-dependent Dscam sorting regulates axon segregation

Project description:Neurons are highly polarized cells with distinct protein compositions in axonal and dendritic compartments. Cellular mechanisms controlling polarized protein sorting have been described for mature nervous system but little is known about the segregation in newly differentiated neurons. In a forward genetic screen for regulators of Drosophila brain circuit development, we identified mutations in <span style="color: rgb(54, 54, 54); font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; background-color: rgb(245, 245, 245);">Serine Palmitoyltransferase </span>(SPT), an evolutionary conserved enzyme in sphingolipid biosynthesis. Here we show that reduced levels of sphingolipids in SPT mutants cause axonal morphology defects similar to loss of cell recognition molecule Dscam. Loss- and gain-of-function studies show that neuronal sphingolipids are critical to prevent aggregation of axonal and dendritic Dscam isoforms, thereby ensuring precise Dscam localization to support axon branch segregation. Furthermore, SPT mutations causing neurodegenerative HSAN-I disorder in humans also result in formation of stable Dscam aggregates and axonal branch phenotypes in Drosophila neurons, indicating a causal link between developmental protein sorting defects and neuronal dysfunction.

1-deoxysphingolipid synthesis compromises anchorage-independent growth and plasma membrane endocytosis in cancer cells

Project description:Serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) predominantly incorporates serine and fatty acyl-CoAs into diverse sphingolipids that serve as structural components of membranes and signaling molecules within or amongst cells. However, SPT also uses alanine as a substrate in the contexts of low serine availability, alanine accumulation, or diseasecausing mutations in hereditary sensory neuropathy type I (HSAN1), resulting in the synthesis and accumulation of 1-deoxysphingolipids. These species promote cytotoxicity in neurons and impact diverse cellular phenotypes, including suppression of anchorage-independent cancer cell growth. While altered serine and alanine can promote 1-deoxysphingolipid synthesis, they impact numerous other metabolic pathways important for cancer cells. Here we combined isotope tracing, quantitative metabolomics, and functional studies to better understand the mechanistic drivers of 1- deoxysphingolipid toxicity in cancer cells. Both alanine treatment and SPTLC1 C133W expression induce 1-deoxy(dihydro)ceramide synthesis and accumulation but fail to broadly impact intermediary metabolism, abundances of other lipids, or growth of adherent cells. However, spheroid culture and soft agar colony formation were compromised when endogenous 1-deoxysphingolipid synthesis was induced via SPTLC1 C133W expression. Consistent with these impacts on anchorageindependent cell growth, we observed that 1-deoxysphingolipid synthesis reduced plasma membrane endocytosis. These results highlight a potential role for SPT promiscuity in linking altered amino acid metabolism to plasma membrane endocytosis.

Geometric Framework for nutrition on Sucrose Taste Sensitization in Drosophila

Project description:Numerous studies show dietary carbohydrates (C) affect the sensation of sweetness. However, protein (P) is one of the most critical macronutrients in the diet as well. It is still unclear how carbohydrates and proteins interact to influence sweet taste sensitivity. Here, we use the nutritional geometry framework (NGF) to tackle this problem in Drosophila melanogaster. Our results showed that the combination of high protein and low carbohydrates caused higher taste responses to sucrose stimuli in both sexes. Additionally, transcriptome analysis revealed that the gene expression of glycine, serine, and threonine pathway in the high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet was significantly upregulated, compared to a diet with low protein, and high carbohydrate. We confirmed that serine and threonine supplementation in the high-carbohydrate, low-protein diet enhanced the sucrose sensitivity of flies. Our results demonstrate that sucrose taste sensitivity is affected by the dietary balance of protein and carbohydrates possibly mediated by the change in serine, and threonine. The high protein, low carbohydrate diets enhanced sucrose taste sensitivity.

Human Rhinovirus Infection of the Respiratory Tract Affects Sphingolipid Synthesis

Project description:We report the application of bulk RNA sequencing to RNA extracted from lung tissue and magnetic bead isolated EpCAM+ lung epithelial cells and CD45+ lung immune cells from mice. Heterozygous serine palmitory transferase subunit 2 , Sptlc2+/- (SPT) and Sptlc2+/+ controls (WT) mice were included. Differential gene expression analysis reveals genes within the sphingolipid synthesis pathway are similarly expressed in the lung and lung epithelial cells of RV infected WT mice and SPT mice (both infected and uninfected).

Effect of deletion of Carnitine Palmitoyltransferase2 in hepatocytes on liver gene expression upon a 24 hour fast

Project description:The liver is critical for maintaining systemic energy balance during starvation. To understand the role of hepatic fatty acid Î²-oxidation on this process, we generated mice with a liver-specific knockout of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (Cpt2L-/-), an obligate step in mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid Î²-oxidation. Surprisingly, Cpt2L-/- mice survived the perinatal period and a 24hr fast with sufficient blood glucose. The loss of hepatic fatty acid oxidation resulted in a significant loss in circulating ketones that remained unaltered by fasting. Fasting induced serum dyslipidemia, hepatic steatosis and adaptations in hepatic and systemic oxidative gene expression in Cpt2L-/- mice to maintain systemic energy homeostasis. Alternatively, feeding a ketogenic diet resulted in severe hepatomegaly, liver damage and death within one week with a complete absence of adipose triglyceride stores. These data show that hepatic fatty acid oxidation is not required for survival during acute food deprivation but essential for constraining adipocyte lipolysis and regulating systemic catabolism when glucose is limiting. In this dataset, we include the expression data obtained from dissected mouse liver from mice fasted for 24 hours with and without the deletion of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (i.e. hepatocytes unable to beta-oxidize long chain fatty acids in mitochondria). WildType and KnockOut mice were fasted for 24 hours. Three biologic replicates were compared per class, thus six mice.

Dietary and protein-restriction protect against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in mice

Project description:During kidney transplantation, ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) is inevitable and leads to oxidative stress and inflammation. We investigated the role of macronutrients in the effects of dietary restriction on both a phenotypical and transcriptional level, thereby comparing protective and nonprotective diets in search for pathways and regulators involved in the protection against IRI.

HMGA2 regulates ATF4 and the serine biosynthesis genes and reprograms metabolism in breast cancer

Project description:The transcription regulator High Mobility Group AT-Hook 2 (HMGA2) plays an important role in many types of cancers, but the molecular mechanisms are not fully elucidated. We found by knock-down studies that HMGA2 controls expression of ATF4 and the enzymes in the serine synthesis pathway in triple negative breast cancer cells, and that HMGA2 expression correlates with poor clinical outcome in ER negative breast cancers. Furthermore, we found that the metabolism was dysregulated in cells with reduced HMGA2 expression, which affected their response to mitochondrial stressors and to changed carbon sources. Altogether, our findings demonstrate that HMGA2 is a regulator of serine biosynthesis and metabolism, consistent with the well-known role of HMGA2 as a regulator of proliferation, epithelial-mesenchymal transition and stemness.
