Ornithine aminotransferase supports polyamine synthesis in pancreatic cancer

ABSTRACT: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDA) cells have a distinct dependence on de novo ornithine synthesis from glutamine via ornithine aminotransferase (OAT), which supports polyamine synthesis and is required for tumor growth. This directional OAT activity is normally largely restricted to infancy and contrasts with the reliance of most adult normal tissues and other cancer types on arginase (ARG) to generate arginine-derived ornithine, the substrate for polyamine synthesis. This dependence associates with arginine depletion in PDA tumor microenvironment, and is driven by mutant KRAS, which induces the expression of OAT and polyamine synthesis enzymes, including the rate-limiting enzyme ornithine decarboxylase-1 (ODC1). Loss of OAT, but not ARG2, largely mimics loss of ODC1, altering the transcriptional profiles in PDA cells, which in turn correlate with alterations in open chromatin states.

Ornithine decarboxylase supports ILC3 responses in infectious and autoimmune colitis through positive regulation of IL-22 transcription

Project description:Group 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3s) are RORγT+ lymphocytes that are predominately enriched in mucosal tissues and produce IL-22 and IL-17A. They are the innate counterparts of Th17. While Th17 lymphocytes utilize unique metabolic pathways in their differentiation program, it is unknown whether ILC3s make similar metabolic adaptations. We employed single-cell RNA sequencing and metabolomic profiling of intestinal ILC subsets to identify an enrichment of polyamine biosynthesis in ILC3s, converging on the rate-limiting enzyme ornithine decarboxylase (ODC1). In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that exogenous supplementation with the polyamine putrescine or its biosynthetic substrate, ornithine, enhanced ILC3 production of IL-22. Conditional deletion of ODC1 in ILC3s impaired mouse antibacterial defense against C. rodentium infection, which was associated with a decrease in anti-microbial peptide production by the intestinal epithelium. Furthermore, in a model of anti-CD40 colitis, deficiency of ODC1 in ILC3s markedly reduced the production of IL-22 and severity of inflammatory colitis. We conclude that cell-intrinsic polyamine biosynthesis facilitates efficient defense against enteric pathogens as well as augments autoimmune colitis, thus representing an attractive target to modulate ILC3 function in intestinal disease.

DFMO effect on Th17 and iTreg cells (ATAC-Seq)

Project description:We studied the effects of polyamine pathway inhibitors on differentiation of nonpathogenic Th17 cellsin vitro. Here, we used difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), an irreversible inhibitor of ODC1, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ornithine to putrescine.

Dual targeting of polyamine synthesis and uptake in diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas

Project description:Diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG) is an incurable malignant childhood brain tumour, with no active systemic therapies and a 5-year survival of less than 1%. Polyamines are small organic polycations that are essential for DNA replication, translation and cell proliferation. Ornithine decarboxylase 1 (ODC1), the rate limiting enzyme in polyamine synthesis, is irreversibly inhibited by difluoromethylornithine (DFMO). Herein we show that polyamine synthesis is upregulated in DIPG, leading to sensitivity to DFMO. DIPG cells compensate for ODC1 inhibition by upregulation of the polyamine transporter SLC3A2. Treatment with the polyamine transporter inhibitor AMXT 1501 reduced uptake of polyamines in DIPG cells, and co-administration of AMXT 1501 and DFMO led to potent in vitro activity, and significant extension of survival in three aggressive DIPG orthotopic animal models. Collectively, these results demonstrate the potential of dual targeting of polyamine synthesis and uptake as a therapeutic strategy for incurable DIPG.

Project description:We studied the effects of polyamine pathway inhibitors on differentiation of Th17 cells in vitro. Here, we used difluoromethylornithine (DFMO), an irreversible inhibitor of ODC1, the enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ornithine to putrescine, against a genetic background of WT or Jmjd3-deficient cells.

Circadian temporal profiling of MMH-D3 hepatocytes

Project description:The circadian clock generates daily rhythms in mammalian liver processes, such as glucose and lipid homeostasis, xenobiotic metabolism, and regeneration. The mechanisms governing these rhythms are not well understood, particularly the distinct contributions of the cell-autonomous clock and central pacemaker to rhythmic liver physiology. Through microarray expression profiling in MMH-D3 hepatocytes, we identified over 1,000 transcripts that exhibit circadian oscillations, demonstrating that many rhythms can be driven by the cell-autonomous clock and that MMH-D3 is a valid circadian model system. The genes represented by these circadian transcripts displayed both co-phasic and anti-phasic organization within a protein-protein interaction network, suggesting the existence of competition for binding sites or partners by genes of disparate transcriptional phases. Multiple pathways displayed enrichment in MMH-D3 circadian transcripts, including the polyamine synthesis module of the glutathione metabolic pathway. The polyamine synthesis module, which is highly associated with cell proliferation and whose products are required for initiation of liver regeneration, includes enzymes whose transcripts exhibit circadian oscillations, such as ornithine decarboxylase (Odc1) and spermidine synthase (Srm). Metabolic profiling revealed that the enzymatic product of SRM, spermidine, cycles as well. Thus, the cell-autonomous hepatocyte clock can drive a significant amount of transcriptional rhythms and orchestrate physiologically relevant modules such as polyamine synthesis. Samples were collected every 2 hours for a duration of 46 hours from differentiated MMH-D3 hepatocytes synchronized via serum shock. Cells were synchronized by serum shock and incubated for 12 hours, and then samples were collected every 2 hours from 12 hours post-serum shock to 58 hours post-serum shock, for a total of 24 samples.

Combined Dietary and Pharmacological Depletion of Polyamines Targets Oncogenic Translation in Neuroblastoma

Project description:Cancer growth is fueled by nutrients obtained from circulation and local biosynthesis. Isolating and exploiting tumoral nutrient dependencies to potentiate current anti-cancer therapies is undergoing active research. We used unbiased metabolomics on patient samples and identified reprogramming of the arginine-proline-glutamine axis in MYCN amplified neuroblastoma. Tumoral acquisition of these non-essential amnio acids, as revealed by stable isotope tracing, was primarily by import, while extra-tumoral deamination of arginine indirectly feeds tumor ornithine via circulation. Dietary depletion of proline and arginine reduced systemic ornithine, the direct precursor of polyamine biosynthesis, and in combination with the clinically approved polyamine biosynthesis inhibitor, difluoromethylornithine, enhanced their depletion to improve survival in a MYCN-driven neuroblastoma mouse model. Mechanistically, ribosome profiling indicated specific translation defects, with ribosomal pausing at adenine-ending codons, to cause reprogramed protein biosynthesis affecting cell cycle and inducing neuronal differentiation. This work provides proof of concept for combined small molecule and nutrient depletion therapy for simultaneous targeting of translation in cancers dependent on external nutrient uptake.

YAP/TAZ drives cell proliferation and tumour growth via a polyamine-eIF5A hypusination-LSD1 axis (RNA-Seq)

Project description:Here using mouse genetic models and human cancer cells, we show that YAP/TAZ reprogram polyamine metabolism to promote cell proliferation and tumor growth. Mechanistically, YAP/TAZ increases polyamine synthesis mainly through direct upregulation of the major rate-limiting enzyme ornithine decarboxylase 1. We further demonstrate that the polyamine spermidine sustains eukaryotic translation factor 5A (eIF5A) hypusination to support efficient translation of histone demethylase LSD1 that maintains a favored epigenetic status for YAP/TAZ-induced cell proliferation. Furthermore, inhibiting either polyamine synthesis or LSD1 can suppress YAP/TAZ-induced cell proliferation in mouse liver and human cancer cells. Thus our study identifies a YAP/TAZ-polyamine-eIF5A hypusination-LSD1 axis as required for YAP/TAZ-induced cell proliferation and tumor growth and suggests LSD1 as a critical target of polyamine in tumorigenesis.
