The LKB1/AMPK pathway is a central mediator of the hepatic xenobiotic response

ABSTRACT: The serine/threonine kinase LKB1 is a tumor suppressor gene which also plays key roles in metabolic function in peripheral tissues through its direct phosphorylation and activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). The LKB1/AMPK pathway plays key roles in the liver in suppressing transcriptional programs of gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis, and hepatic LKB1 is required for the ability of the type 2 diabetes agent metformin to lower blood glucose levels in mice. To more broadly define how the LKB1/AMPK pathway controls hepatic metabolism, transcriptional profiling was employed using mice with an inducible liver-specific deletion of Lkb1. Unexpectedly, LKB1/AMPK signaling broadly controls the expression of many phase I xenobiotic metabolism genes, including several members of the cytochrome P450 family. In particular, expression of CYP2E1, an important mediator of drug detoxification, was markedly reduced upon LKB1 loss. LKB1 liver-specific knockout mice exposed to hepatocarcinogens, exhibited marked resistance to carcinogen-induced hepatocyte apoptosis, proliferation, senescence, and liver fibrosis and tumorigenesis.

A new LKB1 activator, Piericidin Analogue S14, attenuates tubular cell senescence and renal fibrosis through promoting AMPK-induced autophagy and mitochondrial homeostasis pathway [II]

Project description:AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) stabilizes tubular cell metabolism and protects against renal fibrosis through promoting autophagy and mitochondrial homeostasis. Liver kinase B1 (LKB1) is the key regulator for AMPK activation. However, the direct activators of LKB1 are scarce in commercial. In this study, we report a novel LKB1 activator, the piericidin analogue S14 (PA-S14), which was isolated from the culture broth of a marine-derived Streptomyces strain by our group. PA-S14 binds with residue D176 in LKB1 kinase domain, and then induces LKB1 phosphorylated activation and its complex formation with MO25 and STRADα. Furthermore, PA-S14 promotes AMPK activation to enhance LC3B-II/LC3B-I ratio, trigger autophagosome formation and increase autophagic flux. PA-S14 exhibits perfect protective effects on stabilizing mitochondrial homeostasis, inhibiting tubular cell senescence, and retarding fibrogenesis in various CKD models (UUO, UIRI and adriamycin nephropathy models) and TGF-β-stimulated tubular cell culture. Transcriptomics sequencing and site-specific mutation analysis further prove that PA-S14 is a novel lead compound of LKB1 activator, which perfectly protects against renal fibrosis through inducing AMPK-mediated autophagy and mitochondrial homeostasis.

Gene expression profiles of Lkb1 WT and KO hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs)

Project description:LKB1 encodes a Ser/Thr kinase and acts as an evolutionarily conserved sensor of cellular energy status in eukaryotic cells. LKB1 functions as the major upstream kinase to phosphorylate AMPK and 12 other AMPK-related kinases, which is required for their activation in many cellular contexts. Once activated, AMPK and AMPK-related kinases phosphorylate a diverse array of downstream effectors to switch on ATP-generating catabolic processes and switch off ATP-consuming anabolic processes, thus restoring energy balance during periods of energetic stress. To study the role and mechanisms of Lkb1 in the regulation of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) biology, we performed transcriptome analysis of sorted LSK (Lin-, Sca-1+, c-Kit+) cells from Lkb1 WT and KO bone marrows at 1 day post-completing tamoxifen injection (DPI). To identify more proximal molecular effects, we chose 1 DPI due to the modest phenotypes in Lkb1 KO mice, yet documentation of efficient Lkb1 deletion in LSK cells at this very early time point. We treated Lkb1 L/L rosa26CreERT2 and Lkb1 L/L mice (C57BL/Ka-CD45.2:Thy-1.1 background) with Tamoxifen for 5 days to somatically delete Lkb1 in adult mice, and generated Lkb1 WT and KO mice. At 1 DPI, we prepared single-cell suspensions from bone marrow (from femoral and tibial bones), and stained and sorted LSK populations using FACSAria (Becton Dickinson, Mountain View, CA). The RNA was extracted from sorted LSK cells, amplified and subjected to gene profiling. The samples include 3 Lkb1 WT (Lkb1 WT 5-7) and 4 Lkb1 KO (Lkb1 KO 4-7) replicates.

LKB1 expressed in dendritic cells governs the development and expansion of thymus-derived regulatory T cells

Project description:Liver Kinase B1 (LKB1) plays a key role in cellular metabolism by controlling AMPK activation. However, its function in dendritic cell (DC) biology has not been addressed. Here, we find that LKB1 functions as a critical brake on DC immunogenicity, and when lost, leads to reduced mitochondrial fitness and increased maturation, migration, and T cell priming of peripheral DCs. Concurrently, loss of LKB1 in DCs enhances their capacity to promote output of regulatory T cells (Tregs) from the thymus, which dominates the outcome of peripheral immune responses, as suggested by increased resistance to asthma and higher susceptibility to cancer in CD11cΔLKB1 mice. Mechanistically, we find that loss of LKB1 specifically primes thymic CD11b+ DCs to facilitate thymic Treg development and expansion, which is independent from AMPK signalling, but dependent on mTOR and enhanced phospholipase C β1-driven CD86 expression. Together, our results identify LKB1 as a critical regulator of DC-driven effector T cell and Treg responses both in the periphery and the thymus.

SIK2 phosphorylation in response to glucagon or insulin in murine hepatocytes

Project description:The phosphorylation state of human HA-tagged-SIK2, adenovirally introduced in murine hepatocytes (C57/BL/6 strain) was analysed in unstimulated and in response to glucagon- or insulin- treated conditions. Background:- LKB1 is a master kinase that regulates metabolism and growth through AMPK and 12 other closely-related kinases. Liver-specific ablation of LKB1 causes increased glucose production in hepatocytes in vitro and hyperglycaemia in fasting mice in vivo. The salt-inducible kinases (SIK1, 2 and 3), members of the AMPK-related kinase family, play a key role as gluconeogenic suppressor downstream of LKB1 in the liver. A selective SIK inhibitor (HG-9-91-01) promotes dephosphorylation of transcriptional co-activators CRTC2/3 resulting in enhanced gluconeogenic gene expression and glucose production in hepatocytes, an effect that is abolished when an HG-9-91-01-insensitive-mutant-SIK is introduced or LKB1 is ablated. Although SIK2 was proposed as a key regulator of insulin-mediated suppression of gluconeogenesis, we provide genetic evidence that liver-specific ablation of SIK2 alone has no effect on gluconeogenesis and insulin does not modulate SIK2 phosphorylation/activity. Collectively, we demonstrate that the LKB1-SIK pathway functions as a key gluconeogenic gatekeeper in the liver.

Uncoupling effects of ERalfa on LKB1/AMPK interaction upon adiponectin exposure in breast cancer

Project description:Adipose tissue is a metabolic and endocrine organ that secretes numerous bioactive molecules called adipocytokines. Among these, adiponectin has been argued to have a crucial role in obesity-associated breast cancer. The key molecule of adiponectin signaling is AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), mainly activated by Liver Kinase B1 (LKB1). Here, we demonstrated how the ERalfa/LKB1 interaction may negatively interfere with the capability of LKB1 to phosphorylate AMPK and then inhibit its downstream signaling TSC2/mTOR/p70S6k. In MCF-7 cells upon adiponectin AMPK signaling was not working, keeping its downstream protein Acetyl-CoA Carboxylase (ACC) still active. In contrast, in MDA-MB-231 cells the phosphorylation of AMPK and ACC was enhanced with consequent inhibition of both lipogenesis and cell growth. Thus, upon adiponectin, ERalfa signaling switched the energy balance of breast cancer cells towards a lipogenic phenotype. In other words, adiponectin in all the concentrations tested played an inhibitory role on ERalpha-negative breast cancer cell growth and progression either in vitro or in vivo. In contrast, low adiponectin levels, similar to those circulating in obese patients, worked on ERalfa-positive cells as a growth factor, stimulating their growth and progression. The latter effect seems to be blunted in vivo only in the presence of high adiponectin concentration. Based on the present results, it can be concluded that if we prospectively address adiponectin as a pharmacological tool, a separate therapeutic treatment should be carefully assessed in ERalfa-positive and negative breast-cancer patients.

IKK Promotes Cytokine-Induced and Cancer-Associated AMPK Activity and Attenuates Phenformin-Induced Cell Death in LKB1-Deficient Cells

Project description:The 5' AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a master energy sensing kinase that is regulated by phosphorylation of Thr172 in its activation loop. Three kinases can phosphorylate AMPK at Thr172: the tumor suppressor LKB1, CAMKK2 and TAK1. While LKB1- and CAMKK2-mediated AMPK Thr172 phosphorylation have been well-characterized, much less is known about TAK1-dependent AMPK phosphorylation. An important target of TAK1 is IκB kinase (IKK) which controls NF-B transcription factor activation. Here, we tested the hypothesis that IKK acted downstream of TAK1 to activate AMPK by phosphorylating Thr172. IKK was required for phosphorylation of Thr172 in AMPK in response to treatment with IL-1 or TNF- treatment or by TAK1 overexpression. Additionally, IKK regulated basal AMPK Thr172 phosphorylation in several cancer cell types independently of TAK1, indicating that other modes of IKK activation could lead to AMPK activation. We found that IKK directly phosphorylated AMPK at Thr172 independently of LKB1 or energy stress. This finding indicated that while LKB1 activates AMPK as a sensor of energetic stress, IKK activated AMPK in response to extracellular inflammatory signals and through distinct pathways downstream of IKK activation. Accordingly, in LKB1-deficient cells, IKK inhibition caused a reduction in AMPK Thr172 phosphorylation in response to the mitochondrial inhibitor phenformin. This response led to enhanced apoptosis and suggests that IKK inhibition in combination with phenformin could be used clinically to treat patients with LKB1-deficient cancers.

Transcription profiling by high throughput sequencing of pancreatic islets from LKB1 and AMPK knockout mice

Project description:RNA-Seq was performed on pancreatic islets from four transgenic mouse strains affecting LKB1 and AMPK. A conditional LKB1 knockout strain was generated. Double conditional knockouts for AMPK alpha1 and AMPK alpha2 were also generated. These conditional strains were crossed with RIP-Cre (driven by rat insulin promoter) or Ins1-Cre mice to generate LKB1 knockout and AMPK double knockout strains.

Transcriptional profiling of Ampk-deficient B cells during terminal differentiation

Project description:5’-AMP-Activated Protein Kinase (Ampk) is an energy gatekeeper that responds to decreases in available ATP by inhibiting energy-consuming processes like protein synthesis and promoting energy-generating processes like glucose uptake. Recently, our lab showed that Lkb1, a previously unstudied kinase in B cell immunology and the main upstream kinase of Ampk, had a critical and unexpected role in B cell activation and germinal center formation. In T cells knockout of the downstream target Ampk, only partially phenocopies Lkb1 deletion, so we sought to determine whether the role of Lkb1 in B cells depends on Ampk. We find Ampk is activated upon B cell stimulation in vitro. Surprisingly, however, Ampk activation occurs in the absence of energetic stress, and B cells continue to grow and divide despite Ampk activity. We performed an IP-MS substrate screen to identify Ampk targets and only identified a limited repertoire of canonical targets, and many non-canonical targets. Despite activation of Ampk and the major role of Lkb1 in B cell activation, B cell specific deletion of Ampk does not significantly affect B cell activation, differentiation, carbon handling, gene expression, or humoral immune responses. The only major effect of Ampk loss was accelerated downregulation of IgD during stimulation, which was preceded by downregulation of the IgD regulator Zfp318. Early activation of Ampk by pharmacological means also has little impact on B cell function, although treatment with the biguanide Phenformin critically impairs germinal center formation and class switch recombination in vivo, but does not significantly impair antigen-specific antibody responses. Combined, our results suggest an unexpected and unexplained activation of Ampk in B cells.
