Mitochondrial oxidative transport is inhibited by NDUFA4L2 to promote primary tumor escape [ATAC-Seq]

ABSTRACT: Metastases cause most cancer deaths and reflect cellular transitions from epithelial to mesenchymal states (EMT) that enable primary tumor escape to seeding and growth at metastatic sites. Rare cancer-driving mutations that disrupt mitochondrial oxidative metabolism (OxPhos) can promote EMT, yet molecular mechanisms that more broadly link metabolism to metastases are uncertain. Analyses of clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells identified the hypoxia-induced mitochondrial electron transport inhibitor, NDUFA4L2, as highly enriched in cancer cells with EMT signatures. NDUFA4L2 suppressed OxPhos, altering levels of metabolites that govern chromatin accessibility of EMT-related loci. NDUFA4L2 specifically promoted cell escape from primary orthotopic RCC rather than colonization to drive lung metastasis. These results demonstrate OxPhos inhibition by NDUFA4L2 is essential for RCC cells undergoing EMT to escape primary tumors.

Epithelial mesenchymal-like transition occurs in a subset of cells in castration resistant prostate cancer bone metastases

Project description:TGF-beta is a known driver of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) which is associated with tumor aggressiveness and metastasis. However, EMT has not been fully explored in clinical specimens of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) metastases. To assess EMT in CRPC, gene expression analysis was performed on 149 visceral and bone metastases from 62 CRPC patients and immunohistochemical analysis was performed on 185 CRPC bone and visceral metastases from 42 CRPC patients. In addition, to assess the potential of metastases to seed further metastases the mitochondrial genome was sequenced at different metastatic sites in one patient. TGF-beta was increased in bone versus visceral metastases. While primarily cytoplasmic; nuclear and cytoplasmic Twist were significantly higher in bone than in visceral metastases. Slug and Zeb1 were unchanged, with the exception of nuclear Zeb1 being significantly higher in visceral metastases. Importantly, nuclear Twist, Slug, and Zeb1 were only present in a subset of epithelial cells that had an EMT-like phenotype. Underscoring the relevance of EMT-like cells, mitochondrial sequencing revealed that metastases could seed additional metastases in the same patient. In conclusion, while TGF-beta expression and EMT-associated protein expression is present in a considerable number of CRPC visceral and bone metastases, nuclear Twist, Slug, and Zeb1 localization and an EMT-like phenotype (elongated nuclei and cytoplasmic compartment) was only present in a small subset of CRPC bone metastases. Mitochondrial sequencing from different metastases in a CRPC patient provided evidence for the seeding of metastases from previously established metastases, highlighting the biological relevance of EMT-like behavior in CRPC metastases.

Differential gene expression profiling of matched primary renal cell carcinoma and metastases reveals upregulation of extracellular matrix genes

Project description:It is unknown if gene expression profiles from primary RCC tumors differ from patient-matched metastatic tumors. Thus, we sought to identify differentially expressed genes between patient-matched primary and metastatic RCC tumors in order to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of RCC metastases.

Aggregation of respiratory complex subunits marks the onset of proteotoxicity in proteasome inhibited cells

Project description:Proteostasis is maintained by optimum expression, folding, transport, and clearance of proteins. Deregulation of any of these processes triggers protein aggregation and is implicated in many age-related pathologies. Here, using quantitative proteomics and microscopy we show that aggregation of many nuclear-encoded mitochondrial proteins is an early protein-destabilization event during short-term proteasome inhibition. Among these, Respiratory Chain Complex (RCC) subunits represent a group of functionally related proteins consistently forming aggregates under multiple proteostasis-stresses with varying aggregation-propensities. Sequence analysis reveals that several RCC subunits, irrespective of cleavable mitochondrial targeting sequence (MTS), contain low complexity regions (LCR) at N-terminus. Using different chimeric and mutant constructs we show that these low complexity regions partially contribute to intrinsic instability of multiple RCC subunits. Taken together, we propose that physicochemically driven aggregation of unassembled RCC subunits destabilizes their functional assembly inside mitochondria. This deregulates the biogenesis of respiratory complexes and marks the onset of mitochondrial dysfunction.

Changes in gene expression during epithelial-mesenchymal transition in a breast cancer primary culture

Project description:Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) is an important process during normal development, but also co-opted by various cancer cells to enable them to invade and form metastases at distant sites. In this study, we examinated changes in gene expression during EMT in breast cancer using primary culture named BCpc. Changes in gene expression in primary cells from breast tumour specimen (named BCpc) were analyzed as two-color hybridizations using Agilent Technologies whole human genome 4x44K microarrays

Integrated multi-omics characterization reveals metabolic reprogramming associated with impaired mitochondrial function in clear cell renal cell carcinoma.

Project description:An altered metabolism is involved in the development of clear cell - renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), and in this tumor many altered genes play a fundamental role in controlling cell metabolic activities. In this study we delineated a large-scale metabolomic profile of human ccRCC, and integrated it with transcriptomic data to connect the variations in cancer metabolism with gene expression changes. Moreover, to better analyze the specific contribution of metabolic gene alterations potentially associated with tumorigenesis and tumor progression, we evaluated the transcription profile of primary renal tumor cells. Untargeted metabolomic analysis revealed a signature of an increased glucose uptake and utilization in ccRCC. In addition, metabolites related to pentose phosphate pathway were also altered in the tumor samples in association with changes in Krebs cycle intermediates and related metabolites. Using an integrated multi-omics approach we identified NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1 alpha subcomplex 4-like 2 (NDUFA4L2) as the most highly expressed gene in renal cancer cells and evaluated its role in sustaining angiogenesis, chemoresistance, and mitochondrial dysfunction. Finally we showed that silencing of NDUFA4L2 affects cell viability, increases mitochondrial mass, and induces ROS generation in hypoxia. These findings delineate a ccRCC metabolic signature characterized by an anaerobic switch that favors rerouting of the sugar metabolism toward the PPP, and impairs the mitochondrial activity though the overexpression of NDUFA4L2. Thus, this protein could serve as a marker of ccRCC aggressiveness, as well as a potential novel therapeutic target.
