The role and mechanism of hypoxia-induced SLC6A8 up-regulation in HCC progression

ABSTRACT: Hypoxia is a hallmark of solid tumors and profoundly affects the malignant phenotypes of cancer cells. We find that the creatine transporter solute carrier family 6, member 8 (SLC6A8) is upregulated in hypoxic HCC cells. Hypoxia-induced creatine accumulation drives metabolic reprogramming and antagonizes parthanatos. Pharmacological inhibition of SLC6A8 represents a promising therapeutic strategy for HCC.

The role and mechanism of hypoxia in regulating parthanatos in hepatocellular carcinoma

Project description:Recently, a PARP1-dependent cell-death process termed "parthanatos", driven by DNA damage, has emerged as a crucial regulator of tissue homeostasis and tumorigenesis. Hypoxia is a hallmark of solid tumors and profoundly affects the malignant phenotypes of cancer cells. The crosstalk between parthanatos and hypoxia remains poorly understood. In our study, we find that despite causing DNA damage, hypoxia fails to induce parthanatos in HCC. Transcriptome sequencing upon MNNG stimulation indicated that the creatine transporter solute carrier family 6, member 8 (SLC6A8) was involved in parthanatos antagonism and malignant phenotypes in hypoxic HCC cells.

Cell-specific vulnerability to metabolic failure: the crucial role of parvalbumin expressing neurons in creatine transporter deficiency

Project description:Mutations in the solute carrier family 6-member 8 (Slc6a8) gene, encoding the protein responsible for cellular creatine (Cr) uptake, cause Creatine Transporter Deficiency (CTD), an X-linked neurometabolic disorder presenting with intellectual disability, autistic-like features, and epilepsy. The pathological determinants of CTD are still poorly understood, hindering the development of therapies. In this study, we generated an extensive transcriptomic profile of CTD showing that Cr deficiency causes perturbations of gene expression in excitatory neurons, inhibitory cells, and oligodendrocytes which result in remodeling of circuit excitability and synaptic wiring. We also identified specific alterations of parvalbumin-expressing (PV+) interneurons, exhibiting a reduction in cellular and synaptic density, and a hypofunctional electrophysiological phenotype. Mice lacking Slc6a8 only in PV+ interneurons recapitulated numerous CTD features, including cognitive deterioration, impaired cortical processing and hyperexcitability of brain circuits, demonstrating that Cr deficit in PV+ interneurons is sufficient to determine the neurological phenotype of CTD. Moreover, a pharmacological treatment targeted to restore the efficiency of PV+ synapses significantly improved cortical activity in Slc6a8 knock-out animals. Altogether, these data demonstrate that Slc6a8 is critical for the normal function of PV+ interneurons and that impairment of these cells is central in the disease pathogenesis, suggesting a novel therapeutic venue for CTD.

Cell-specific vulnerability to metabolic failure: the crucial role of parvalbumin expressing neurons in Creatine Transporter Deficiency

Project description:Mutations in the X-linked solute carrier family 6-member (Slc6a8) gene, encoding the protein responsible for cellular creatine (Cr) uptake, cause Creatine Transporter Deficiency (CTD), an X-linked neurometabolic disorder presenting with cognitive dysfunction, autistic-like features, and epilepsy. The pathological determinants of CTD are still poorly understood and this lack of knowledge might hinder the development of therapeutic strategies. Here, we show that Cr deficiency perturbs gene expression in excitatory neurons, inhibitory cells and oligodendrocytes, inducing a remodeling of circuit excitability and synaptic wiring, while no effects are present in astrocytes and endothelial cells. We also describe specific alterations of high-energy demanding, Parvalbumin-expressing (PV+) interneurons, exhibiting a reduction in cellular and synaptic density, and a hypofunctional phenotype, affecting initiation, kinetics and frequency of action potentials. Mice lacking Slc6a8 only in PV+ neurons recapitulate numerous CTD features, such as cognitive deterioration, impaired cortical processing and hyperexcitability of brain circuits, demonstrating that Cr deficit in PV+ cells is sufficient to determine the CTD neurological endophenotype. Moreover, a pharmacological treatment targeted to restore the efficiency of PV+ synapses induces a significant improvement of cortical activity in Slc6a8 knock-out animals. Altogether, these data establish that Slc6a8 is critical for the normal function of PV+ interneurons and that a subtle dysfunction of these cells is critical for the disease pathogenesis, suggesting a novel therapeutic venue for CTD.

Interaction proteomics of WT and disease variants of the human Creatine Transporter (SLC6A8)

Project description:Creatine is an essential metabolite for the storage and rapid supply of energy in muscle and nerve cells. In humans, the creatine deficiency syndrome (CDS) is manifested by impaired metabolism, transport, and distribution of creatine throughout the body leading to severe forms of mental disabilities. One of the common cause of CDS is mutations that impact the function of the creatine transporter (SLC6A8). This study characterized 30 missense variants of SLC6A8, which include 15 variants of unknown significance and two which were not reported before. These variants were expressed in HEK293 cells, and their subcellular localization and transport activity was assessed. Further, for the first time the interactome of SLC6A8 WT was characterized by quantitative interaction proteomics. Computational methods were then used to first assess the impact of mutations upon the thermodynamic stability of SLC6A8. This was expanded by modeling the impact of mutations upon the inward and outward facing transporter conformation. Next, identified SLC6A8 protein interactions binary complexes were modelled and used to characterize the impact of variants upon the thermodynamic stability of the complexes. This was followed up, by performing for a subset of the variants the interaction proteomics analysis to study changes upon the identified SLC6A8 WT interactome.

Identification of essential transporter genes in the colorectal carcinoma cell model HCT116 by focused CRISPR/Cas9 KO screens.

Project description:Transporters such as solute carriers (SLCs) are required to transport substrates such as nutrients or metals across cellular membranes. We here aimed to indentify which transporters are required for the proliferation of HCT116 WT and KO cells (SLC16A1, SLC16A3, SLC16A13, SLC25A28, SLC25A37 and SLC6A8 KOs).

Analyzing the impact of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection on primary human macrophages

Project description:The success of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) as pathogen is tightly linked to its ability to recalibrate host metabolic processes in infected host macrophages. Correspondingly, analysis of RNA-sequencing datasets showed altered gene expression of key metabolic enzymes involved in NAD+, creatine, glucose and glutamine metabolism (e.g NAMPT, IDO1, SLC6A8, CKB, HK2) in Mtb-infected M2 macrophages.

A maternal high-fat diet induces fetal origins of NASH-HCC in mice

Project description:Maternal overnutrition affects offspring susceptibility to nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Male offspring from high-fat diet (HFD)-fed dams developed a severe form of NASH, leading to highly vascular tumor formation. The cancer/testis antigen HORMA domain containing protein 1 (HORMAD1), one of 146 upregulated differentially expressed genes in fetal livers from HFD-fed dams, was overexpressed with hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1alpha) in hepatoblasts and in NASH-based hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in offspring from HFD-fed dams at 15 weeks old. Hypoxia substantially increased Hormad1 expression in primary mouse hepatocytes. Despite the presence of three putative hypoxia response elements within the mouse Hormad1 gene, the Hif-1alpha siRNA only slightly decreased hypoxia-induced Hormad1 mRNA expression. In contrast, N-acetylcysteine, but not rotenone, inhibited hypoxia-induced Hormad1 expression, indicating its dependency on nonmitochondrial reactive oxygen species production. Synchrotron-based phase-contrast micro-CT of the fetuses from HFD-fed dams showed significant enlargement of the liver accompanied by a consistent size of the umbilical vein, which may cause hypoxia in the fetal liver. Based on these findings, a maternal HFD induces fetal origins of NASH/HCC via hypoxia, and HORMAD1 is a potential therapeutic target for NASH/HCC.
