ACSS2 inhibitors act as metabo-immunomodulators in triple negative breast cancer [RNA-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Acetate metabolism is an important metabolic pathway in many types of cancers and is primarily controlled by acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2), an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of acetate to acetyl-CoA. However, the consequences of inhibiting tumor acetate metabolism on the tumor microenvironment and anti-tumor immunity are unknown. Herein we demonstrate that the growth of ACSS2 deficient triple negative breast cancer is severely impaired when host immunity is intact and, in many instances, ACSS2 deficient tumors are fully cleared by the immune system. Pharmacological inhibition of ACSS2 using a potent small molecule inhibitor reproduces these effects and enhances the efficacy of standard of care chemotherapy for TNBC. Single cell RNA sequencing of vehicle versus ACSS2 inhibitor treated tumors indicates differentiation and activation of T cells suggesting a crosstalk between acetate metabolism and immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. Our data suggest that blocking ACSS2 and acetate metabolism in tumors increases the availability of acetate in the tumor microenvironment. Tumor infiltrating T cells can then use acetate as a fuel source due to the relatively high expression of acetyl-CoA synthetase 1 (ACSS1), which is impervious to ACSS2 inhibitors. In this manner, ACSS1-driven oxidation of acetate in T cells helps to metabolically bolster anti-tumor immune responses. Based on our findings, we propose a completely novel paradigm for ACSS2 inhibitors as metaboimmunomodulators that dually act as inhibitors of tumor cell metabolism and modulators of tumor immunity.

Acetyl-CoA metabolism by ACSS2 regulates neuronal histone acetylation and long-term memory [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Metabolic production of acetyl-CoA has been linked to histone acetylation and gene regulation, however the mechanisms are largely unknown. We show that the metabolic enzyme acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) is a critical and directchum regulator of histone acetylation in neurons and of long-term mammalian memory. We observe increased nuclear ACSS2 in differentiating neurons in vitro. Genome-wide, ACSS2 binding corresponds with increased histone acetylation and gene expression of key neuronal genes. These data indicate that ACSS2 functions as a chromatin-bound co-activator to increase local concentrations of acetyl-CoA and to locally promote histone acetylation for transcription of neuron-specific genes. Remarkably, in vivo attenuation of hippocampal ACSS2 expression in adult mice impairs long-term spatial memory, a cognitive process reliant on histone acetylation. ACSS2 reduction in hippocampus also leads to a defect in upregulation of key neuronal genes involved in memory. These results reveal a unique connection between cellular metabolism and neural plasticity, and establish a link between generation of acetyl-CoA and neuronal chromatin regulation. Genome-wide examination of histone H3 and H4 acetylation, as well as ACSS2 binding, in undifferentiated CAD cells and differentiated CAD neurons; background adjusted by H3 ChIP or Input.

Enzymatic transfer of acetate on histones from lysine reservoir sites to lysine activating sites (ChIP-Seq)

Project description:Histone acetylation, a post-translational modification associated with transcriptional activation, is governed by nuclear acetyl-CoA pools that can vary depending on the metabolic state of the cell. The metabolic enzyme acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) is proposed to regulate nuclear acetyl-CoA levels, using local acetate to produce acetyl-CoA that is utilized for histone acetylation. We hypothesize that during gene activation, a local transfer of intact acetate occurs between histones to upregulate transcription via sequential action of epigenetic and metabolic enzymes. Here we present converging lines of evidence in support of this acetate transfer to serve rapid gene induction. Using stable isotope labeling, we detect local transfer of intact acetate between histone acetylation sites both in vitro using purified mammalian enzymes and in vivo using quiescence exit in Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a change-of-state model. We delineate the enzymatic components required for this transfer mechanism, finding that ACSS2, histone deacetylase and histone acetyltransferase enzymes are necessary for efficient acetyl-group transfer in vitro. We show that Acs2, the yeast orthologue of ACSS2, is recruited to the genome during quiescence exit, and observe dynamic changes of histone acetylation in the vicinity of Acs2 peaks in vivo. Strikingly, we find that Acs2 is preferentially associated with the most upregulated growth genes, suggesting that acetyl-group transfer might play an important role in increased gene expression. Overall, our data reveal direct transfer of acetate between histone lysine residues to facilitate rapid transcriptional induction, an exchange that may be critical during metabolic alterations and changes in nutrient availability.
