Lipin-1 inhibition alters the transcriptome and lipidome of castration-resistant prostate cancer cells

ABSTRACT: The lipin family consists of three members (lipin-1, lipin-2 and lipin-3) that are phosphatidate phosphatases. Lipins facilitate lipid synthesis and remodeling through the conversion of phosphatidic acid to diacylglycerol. Lipin-1 and lipin-2 are also transcriptional co-regulators of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). Our previous studies showed differential lipin-1 expression in numerous prostate cancer cell lines, and the lipin-1 expression was higher in cells representing advanced prostate cancer. However, the role of lipin-1 in prostate cancer cell growth is not fully understood. This study addressed the role of lipin-1 in prostate cancer cell function by performing RNA sequencing and qualitative LC-MS/MS analysis in PC-3 cells in which the gene for lipin-1 (LPIN1) was genetically inhibited. Transcriptomic and lipidomic analyses of LPIN1 knockdown PC-3 cells demonstrated alterations in the expression of numerous genes and the peak intensities of several lipids. The genes and lipids aligned with pathways that mediate focal adhesion, glycerophospholipid metabolism (GM), and PPAR signaling. Additionally, treatment of PC-3 cells with curcumin, a suggested inhibitor of lipin, decreased lipin-1 and lipin-3 expression, with no effect on lipin-2 expression. Bioinformatic analysis of prostate cancer patients demonstrated a correlation between LPIN3 mRNA expression and higher Gleason scores (8-10). These data show the novel findings that lipin-1 mediates the lipidome of castration-resistant prostate cancer cells and identified several pathways that it regulates, beyond GM and PPAR. Additionally, these data suggest that curcumin may be used to treat advanced prostate cancer that overexpresses lipin-3.

Project description:Mutations in the gene encoding lipin 1 cause hepatic steatosis in fld mice, a genetic model of lipodystrophy. Lipin 1 appears to be highly involved in the control of fatty acid metabolism. Lipin 1 is most often located in the nucleus, but other studies suggest that lipin also has effects in the cytoplasm. However, the molecular function of lipin 1 is unclear. To evaluate the effects of activation of the lipin 1 system in liver, lipin 1beta was overexpressed in mouse liver using an adenoviral vector. We found that lipin 1 overexpression increased the expression of many genes involved in mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation while repressing expression of genes involved in lipogenesis. We believe that lipin is a transcriptional coactivator of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) complex. However, the many molecular aspects of its function remain unclear. Abstract of published manuscript follows:; Lipin 1 is an inducible amplifier of the hepatic PGC-1alpha/PPARalpha regulatory pathway.Finck BN, Gropler MC, Chen Z, Leone TC, Croce MA, Harris TE, Lawrence JC Jr, Kelly DP. Center for Cardiovascular Research and Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri 63110; Department of Medicine, Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri 63110. Perturbations in hepatic lipid homeostasis are linked to the development of obesity-related steatohepatitis. Mutations in the gene encoding lipin 1 cause hepatic steatosis in fld mice, a genetic model of lipodystrophy. However, the molecular function of lipin 1 is unclear. Herein, we demonstrate that the expression of lipin 1 is induced by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) coactivator 1alpha (PGC-1alpha), a transcriptional coactivator controlling several key hepatic metabolic pathways. Gain-of-function and loss-of-function strategies demonstrated that lipin selectively activates a subset of PGC-1alpha target pathways, including fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, while suppressing the lipogenic program and lowering circulating lipid levels. Lipin activates mitochondrial fatty acid oxidative metabolism by inducing expression of the nuclear receptor PPARalpha, a known PGC-1alpha target, and via direct physical interactions with PPARalpha and PGC-1alpha. These results identify lipin 1 as a selective physiological amplifier of the PGC-1alpha/PPARalpha-mediated control of hepatic lipid metabolism. Experiment Overall Design: Adult male C57BL6 mice were injected with adenovirus driving expression of mouse lipin 1beta or green fluorescent protein (GFP). Mice were recovered and sacrificed 6 days after injection. Total RNA was isolated and analyzed using Affymetrix microarray.
