BRD9 Reads Lactate-Induced H3K18 Lactylation to Drive Oncogenic Chromatin Remodeling in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Histone lactylation bridges glycolytic metabolism to oncogenic transcription, but its mechanistic readers remain poorly defined. Here, we identify bromodomain-containing protein 9 (BRD9) as a lactyl-lysine reader that links lactate-driven H3K18 lactylation (H3K18la) to chromatin remodeling in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Clinically, elevated H3K18la levels correlate with poor HCC prognosis. Structural (NMR) and biophysical analyses demonstrate BRD9’s bromodomain engages H3K18la through its acetyl-lysine pocket with weak, transient affinity, distinct from stable H3K18ac binding, enabling lactate-dependent chromatin interactions. Multi-omics profiling reveals H3K18la recruits BRD9 and the non-canonical BRG1-associated factor (ncBAF) complex to active enhancers and promoters, promoting chromatin accessibility and oncogenic transcription (SPARC, TMEM64, ANGEL1, SCARB1). Glycolytic inhibition or BRD9 targeting displaces BRD9 from chromatin, suppresses oncogenes, and impairs HCC proliferation. p300 or HDAC inhibition attenuates H3K18la-driven oncogenic transcription and tumor viability. Our findings establish BRD9 as a metabolic-epigenetic mediator that translates glycolytic flux into chromatin remodeling, offering actionable therapeutic targets for HCC.

Nuclear GTPSCS functions as a lactyl-CoA synthetase to promote histone lactylation

Project description:Histone lysine lactylation is a physiologically and pathologically relevant epigenetic pathway that can be stimulated by the Warburg effect and L-lactate. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which cells use L-lactate to generate lactyl-CoA, the cofactor for the modification, and how this process is regulated remain unknown. Here we report identification of GTPSCS as a lactyl-CoA synthetase in the nucleus using biochemistry and cell biology approaches. The mechanism of this catalytic activity was elucidated using the crystallographic structure of GTPSCS in complex with L-lactate, followed by mutagenesis experiments. GTPSCS translocates into the nucleus and interacts with p300 to form a functional lactyltransferase to elevate histone lactylation, but not histone succinylation. This process is dependent on not only a nuclear localization signal in the GTPSCS G1 subunit, but also acetylation at G2 subunit residue K73 which mediates the interaction with p300. GTPSCS-p300 collaboration synergistically regulates histone H3K18la, subsequently enhancing the expression of GDF15. This process promotes the proliferation and radioresistance of gliomas. The GTPSCS represents the inaugural enzyme that can catalyze lactyl-CoA synthesis for epigenetic histone lactylation and regulate oncogenic gene expression patterns in glioma.

Histone lactylation drives liver cancer metastasis by facilitating NSF1 mediated ferroptosis resistance after microwave ablation

Project description:Insufficient microwave ablation (IMWA) is linked to aggressive hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) progression. An increase in lactate level after sublethal heat stress (HS) has been confirmed in HCC. However, the role of lactate-related histone lactylation in the progression of HCC underwent sublethal HS remains unclear. Here, we found that the metastatic potential of HCC is enhanced in a lactate-dependent manner after IMWA. Meanwhile, sublethal HS triggers an upregulation of H3K18la modification, as validated in a cell-derived xenograft mouse model and human HCC samples. By employing an integration analysis of proteomic and transcriptomic profiling, we revealed that HCC cells exhibit an upregulation of intracellular iron ion homeostasis and develop resistance to platinum-based drugs after exposure to sublethal HS. We subsequently integrated proteomic and transcriptomic data with H3K18la-specific chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) sequencing to identify candidate genes involved in sublethal heat treatment-induced HCC cell metastasis. Mechanically, the upregulation of H3K18la modification enhances the transcriptional activity of NFS1, a key player in iron-sulfur clusters biosynthesis, thereby reducing the susceptibility of HCC to ferroptosis post IMWA. Knocking down NFS1 diminished the metastatic potential of sublethal heat-treated HCC cell. Additionally, the deficiency of NFS1 exhibited a synergistic effect with oxaliplatin, leading to a significant inhibition of the metastatic capability of HCC cells both in vitro and in vivo, regardless of HS treatment. In conclusion, our study reveals the oncogenic role of Histone lactylation in HCC after IMVA, we also bridge histone lactylation with ferroptosis, which provides novel therapeutic targets for HCC following microwave ablation, particularly when combined with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy.

Nuclear GTPSCS functions as a lactyl-CoA synthetase to promote histone lactylation and glioma progression [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Histone lysine lactylation is a physiologically relevant epigenetic pathway that can be stimulated by the Warburg effect and L-lactate. Nevertheless, the mechanism by which cells use L-lactate to generate lactyl-CoA, the cofactor for the modification, and how this process is regulated remain unknown. Here we report identification of GTPSCS as a robust lactyl-CoA synthetase using biochemistry and cell biology approaches. The mechanism of this catalytic activity was elucidated using the crystallographic structure of GTPSCS in complex with L-lactate, followed by mutagenesis experiments. GTPSCS translocates into the nucleus and interacts with p300 to form a functional lactyltransferase to elevate histone lactylation, but not histone succinylation. This process is dependent on not only a nuclear localization signal in the GTPSCS G1 subunit, but also acetylation at G2 subunit residue K73 which mediates the interaction with p300. GTPSCS-p300 collaboration synergistically regulates histone H3K18la, subsequently enhancing the expression of GDF15. This process promotes the proliferation of glioma cells and facilitates tumor formation in mice. In addition, GTPSCS is upregulated in glioma and correlates with glioma malignancy, while histone H3K18la, and GDF15 levels are positively associated with glioma malignancy and poor prognosis in GBM patients. The GTPSCS-lactyltransferase-histone Kla axis thus represents an epigenetic pathway linking lactate metabolism with an oncogenic gene expression pattern in glioma.

Nuclear GTPSCS functions as a lactyl-CoA ligase to promote histone lactylation and glioma progression

Project description:Histone lysine lactylation is a physiologically relevant epigenetic pathway that can be stimulated by the Warburg effect and hypoxia-associated L-lactate.

Here, we report the identification of GTPSCS as a lactyl-CoA ligase using biochemistry and cell biology approaches.

This process is dependent on not only a nuclear localization signal in the GTPSCS G1 subunit but also acetylation at the G2 subunit residue K73 (for the interaction between GTPSCS and p300). GTPSCS-p300-mediated histone H3K18la promotes glioma cell proliferation and tumor formation in mice. In addition, histone H3K18la is positively associated with glioma grade and poor prognosis in glioma patients. The LDHA-GTPSCS-lactyltransferase-histone Kla axis thus represents a signal-stimulated epigenetic pathway that mediates the downstream impact of the Warburg effect and hypoxia

Histone lactylation during host–pathogen interaction: An intimate and persistent affair between Pseudomonas aeruginosa quorum-sensing signaling and host lactate [CUT&RUN]

Project description:Bacteria can stimulate host lactate production, aiding their colonization and virulence. However, the role of pathogen-driven host lactate remains underexplored. We show that Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA)-secreted quorum-sensing (QS) signaling molecule 2’-aminoacetophenone (2-AA) elevates and sustains lactate in PA-infected immune-cells and animal tissues. In support, 2-AA increases the protein abundance of the lactate transporter, MCT4, and lactyl-coenzyme A synthetase (guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-specific SCS (GTPSCS)), and GTPSCS’s interaction with the transcriptional coactivators CREB-binding protein (CBP) and p300. Lactate augmentation drives histone H3 lysine 18 lactylation (H3K18la) enrichment at the regulatory regions of key immune and metabolic genes. H3K18la and consequent transcriptional changes promote PA survival in macrophages. Inhibition of lactate or 2-AA synthesis impedes lactate augmentation and H3K18la and reduces PA survival in macrophages. The uncovered QS-driven H3K18la represents a seminal interplay during host-pathogen interaction. Targeting this QS-epigenetic axis may offer a viable therapeutic approach for chronic PA infection.

Hexokinase 2 and lactate mediated gene expression via histone H3 lysine 18 lactylation (CHO RNA-Seq)

Project description:Hexokinase catalyzes the first committed step in glucose metabolism by phosphorylating glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate. Highly glycolytic proliferating cells such as cancer cells take advantage of HK2 expression to accelerate glucose metabolism even in the presence of oxygen. This acceleration not only provides sufficient glycolytic intermediates to support the anabolic demands of the cells but also inevitably accompanies increased formation of metabolic end products such as lactate. Currently, the effect of lactate caused by HK2-mediated metabolic alteration is largely unknown. A recent study found that lactate plays a role in an epigenetic alteration known as histone lactylation. Here, using RNA-seq and CUT&Tag chromatin profiling, we study the effect of HK2 and lactate on gene expression via histone lactylation (H3K18la).

Lactate and histone H3K18 lactylation are associated with metabolic control of gene expression in the retina [explant_CUT&Tag]

Project description:High aerobic glycolysis in retinal photoreceptors, as in cancer cells, is implicated in mitigating energy and metabolic demands. Lactate, a key product of glycolysis, is implicated in epigenetic regulation through histone lactylation in cancer. Here, we demonstrate that increased ATP production during retinal development is achieved primarily through augmented glycolysis. Histone lactylation, especially H3K18La, parallels enhanced glycolysis and its product, lactate, in developing retina and in retinal explants. Multi-omics analyses, combined with confocal imaging, reveal the localization of H3K18La near H3K27Ac in euchromatin at promoters of active retinal, especially photoreceptor, genes. H3K18La and gene expression also correspond to glucose metabolism in retinal explants. Evaluation of accessible chromatin at H3K18La promoters uncovers an enrichment of GC-rich motifs for transcription factors of SP, KMT and KLF families, among others, indicating specificity of H3K18La-mediated gene regulation. Our results highlight glycolysis/lactate/H3K18La as a regulatory axis in fine-tuning gene expression in developing and mature retina.
