Metabolic licensing of quiescent glioblastoma activation and immune evasion via astrocyte-mitochondria shuttle

ABSTRACT: The reaction of quiescent tumor cell subpopulations at the invasive margin of glioblastoma (GBM) might be cleared by immune surveillance toward death or expand through immune escape, which can drive therapeutic resistance, tumor dissemination, and recurrence through phenotypic plasticity. However, the process and mechanisms underlying their activation remain largely unclear. This study revealed that astrocytes awaken quiescent GBM cells to cycling and immune-evasive phenotypes. Astrocytic mitochondria are indispensable in regulating the phenotypic changes. Specifically, the SHMT2 enzyme in astrocytic mitochondria catalyzes one-carbon metabolic products, which significantly promote synthetic metabolic activation and reactivation of quiescent GBM cells to immune evasion through intercellular mitochondrial transfer. Tumor cells that acquire astrocytic mitochondria enhanced one-carbon metabolism drives global hyperactive anabolic metabolism through YTHDC1-mediated transcriptional pause release of ribosomal and focal adhesion signaling genes, supporting rapid proliferation and conferring a potent immune-evasive phenotype. Therapeutically, pharmacologic or genetic inhibiting the astrocytic SHMT2 or blocking mitochondrial transfer markedly suppressed quiescent GBM cell activation and tumor progression. These findings elucidate a novel mechanism by which astrocytes in the tumor microenvironment drive GBM malignancy through metabolic symbiosis.

The serine hydroxymethyltransferase-2 (SHMT2) initiates lymphoma development through epigenetic tumor suppressor silencing

Project description:Cancer cells are thought to adapt their metabolic activities to support growth and proliferation. However, increased activity of metabolic enzymes is not usually considered an initiating event in the malignant process. Here we show that the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase-2 (SHMT2) is sufficient to initiate lymphoma development through a surprising epigenetic mechanism. This is relevant because SHMT2 localizes to the most frequent region of copy number gains Chr12q14.1 in lymphoma and other cancers. Physiologically, SHMT2 catalyzes the conversion of serine to glycine which yields activated methyl groups in the form of S-adenosyl methionine (SAM). A modest increase in the enzyme’s physiological function is both sufficient and required for lymphoma development. SHMT2 acts as a tumor initiator by inducing changes in DNA and histone methylation patterns. In particular, we observe promoter silencing of previously uncharacterized tumor suppressor genes that are also mutational targets in lymphoma, such as the scaffold protein SASH1 and the tyrosine phosphatase PTPRM. Together, our findings reveal that amplification of the wild type SHMT2 enzyme initiates lymphoma development through epigenetic tumor suppressor silencing.

Quiescent glioblastoma cells shift to an epithelial-mesenchymal transition-like gene program

Project description:Quiescent stem cells of glioblastoma (GBM), a malignant primary brain tumor, are potential sources for recurrence after therapy. However, the gene expression program underlying the physiology of GBM stem cells remains unclear. We have isolated quiescent GBM cells by engineering them with a knock-in H2B-GFP proliferation reporter and expanding them in a 3D tumor organoid model that mimics tumor heterogeneity. H2B-GFP label retaining quiescent cells were subjected to stem cell assays and RNA-Seq gene expression analysis. While quiescent GBM cells were similar in clonal culture assays to their proliferative counterparts, they displayed higher therapy resistance. Interestingly, quiescent GBM cells upregulated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) genes and genes of extracellular matrix components. Our findings connect quiescent GBM cells with an EMT-like shift, possibly explaining how GBM stem cells achieve high therapy resistance and invasiveness, and suggest new targets to abrogate GBM.

A high-glucose diet stimulates an anti-tumor immune response to glioblastoma via gut microbiota modulation

Project description:A high-sugar diet induces lifestyle-associated metabolic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes, which may underlie the pro-tumor effects of a high-sugar diet. We supplied GL261 syngeneic glioblastoma (GBM) model mice with a short-term high-glucose diet (HGD) and found an increased survival rate with no evidence of metabolic disease. Modulation of the gut microbiota by an HGD was critical for enhancing the anti-tumor immune response. Single-cell RNA sequencing showed that modulation of the gut microbiota by an HGD increased the T cell-mediated anti-tumor immune response in GBM mice. We found that the cytotoxic CD4+ T cell population in GBM mice increased due to synergy with anti-PD-1 immune checkpoint inhibitors, but this depended on an HGD. Thus, we determined that an HGD enhanced anti-tumor immune responses in GBM mice through changes in the gut microbiota and suggest that the role of an HGD in GBM should be re-examined.

Profiling by array of human Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumor samples to asses the intra-tumoral heterogeneity in genomic copy number aberrations

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly heterogeneous disease that shows an wide range of genetic abnormalities in comparison to other astrocytic tumors. We have extracted between 4 and 8 tumor subsamples from different areas of the malignant tissue that were at least 1cm apart. Our aim to asses the intra-tumoral heterogeneity by comparing copy number aberrations in different tumor areas to uncover important dynamics underlying GBM progression.

The serine hydroxymethyltransferase-2 (SHMT2) initiates lymphoma development through epigenetic tumor suppressor silencing

Project description:Cancer cells adapt their metabolic activities to support growth and proliferation. However, increased activity of metabolic enzymes is not usually considered an initiating event in the malignant process. Here, we investigate the possible role of the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase-2 (SHMT2) in lymphoma initiation. SHMT2 localizes to the most frequent region of copy number gains at Chr12q14.1 in lymphoma. Elevated expression of SHMT2 cooperates with BCL2 in lymphoma development and loss or inhibition of SHMT2 impairs lymphoma cell survival. SHMT2 catalyzes the conversion of serine to glycine and produces an activated one-carbon unit which can be used to support S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) synthesis. SHMT2 induces changes in DNA and histone methylation patterns leading to promoter silencing of previously uncharacterized mutational genes such as SASH1 and PTPRM. Together, our findings reveal that amplification of SHMT2 in cooperation with BCL2 is sufficient in the initiation of lymphomagenesis through epigenetic tumor suppressor silencing.

Transcription profiling by array of human Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) tumor samples to asses the intra-tumoral heterogeneity at the gene expression level

Project description:Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly heterogeneous disease that shows an enourmous range of genetic abnormalities in comparison to other astrocytic tumors. Intra-patient heterogeneity in GBM has been poorly characterized both at phenotypic and genomic level. During surgical GBM resections, we have extracted between 4 and 8 tumor subsamples from different areas of the malignant tissue that were at least 1cm apart. Our aim to asses the intra-tumoral heterogeneity at the gene expression level to uncover important dynamics underlying GBM progression that may have relevant implication for treatment.
