Stable Bioreactor Control Reveals Acidic pH–Driven Metabolic Reprogramming and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Human Lymphoblastoid Cells

ABSTRACT: Human cells require precise pH regulation to maintain optimal physiological functions, yet the molecular impacts of acidic environments remain underexplored due to the lack of technologies capable of precisely controlling the cell culture environment. Here, we employed a gas-only bioreactor to stably control pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature during the culture of human B lymphoblastoid cells. Integrated transcriptomic, epigenomic, and metabolomic analysis revealed that acidic pH (6.8) induces a metabolic shift towards glycolysis, suppresses energy-intensive processes such as cell proliferation, and triggers intracellular accumulation of lactate and oncometabolites and mitochondrial dysfunction. This environment also elevates reactive oxygen species (ROS) and upregulates inflammatory and immune pathways, leading to heteroplasmic shifts in a pathogenic mitochondrial mutation. Mechanistically, acidic pH caused marked depletion of intracellular NAD⁺ driven in part by PARP1 activation, and restoration of NAD⁺ levels via nicotinamide mononucleotide supplementation or PARP1 inhibition partially rescued cellular proliferation, mitochondrial genomic integrity, and stress-associated transcriptional programs. These findings highlight the critical role of pH homeostasis in cellular metabolism and immune response, offering insights into the cellular adaptations to acidic stress, which may inform therapeutic strategies for conditions like cancer and metabolic disorders.

Stable Bioreactor Control Reveals Acidic pH–Driven Metabolic Reprogramming and Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Human Lymphoblastoid Cells

Project description:Human cells require pH regulation to maintain physiological function, yet the molecular consequences of acidic environments remain incompletely understood. Here, we employ a gas-only bioreactor to control pH, oxygen, and temperature. Integrated Omics analyses reveal that acidic pH induces a glycolytic metabolic shift, suppresses proliferation, and promotes accumulation of lactate and oncometabolites alongside mitochondrial dysfunction. Acidic conditions increase reactive oxygen species (ROS) and activate inflammatory and immune pathways, leading to heteroplasmic enrichment of a pathogenic mitochondrial mutation. Acidic pH depletes intracellular NAD⁺, partly driven by PARP1 activation. Restoring NAD⁺ through nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) supplementation partially rescues proliferation and stress-associated transcription, while elevating NAD+ levels by NMN or PARP1 inhibition reverses heteroplasmic enrichment of mutant mitochondrial DNA. These findings underscore the role of pH homeostasis in coordinating metabolism, redox balance, and immune signaling, and identify NAD⁺ metabolism as a mechanistic link between acidic microenvironments, mitochondrial genome instability, and immune–metabolic remodeling.

Gene transcriptional levels with or without acid treatment in Salmonella Typhimurium 14028s

Project description:Acetylation of lysine residues is conserved across organisms and plays important roles in various cellular functions. Maintaining intracellular pH homeostasis is crucial for the survival of enteric bacteria in acidic gastric tract. However, it remains unkown whether bacteria can utilize reversible protein acetylation system to adapt to acidic environment. Here we demonstrate that the protein acetylation/deacetylation is critical for Salmonella Typhimurium to survive in acidic environment. We first used RNA-seq to analyze the transcriptome patterns under acid stress, and found that the transcriptional levels of genes involved in NAD+/NADH metabolism were significantly changed, leading to the increase of intracellular NAD+/NADH ratio. Moreover, acid stress down-regulated the transcriptional level of pat (encoding an acetyltranseferase) and genes encoding adenylate cyclase and cAMP-regulatory protein (CRP) which regulates pat positively. Acid signal also affects TCA cycle to promote the consumption of Ac-CoA, which reduced the donor of acetylation. Lowered acetylation level is not only bacterial’s response to acid stress, but also positively regulates the survival rate of S. Typhimurium. The deletion mutant of pat had more stable intracellular pH, which paralleled with higher survival rate after acid treatment compared with the wild type strain and deletion mutant of cobB. Our data suggest that bacteria can down-regulate protein acetylation level to prevent intracellular pH further falling in acid stress, and this work may provide a new perspective to understand the bacterial acid resistance mechanism.

Mitochondrial PARP1 Regulates NAD+-dependent Poly ADP-ribosylation on Mitochondrial Nucleoids

Project description:Poly ADP-ribose (PAR) polymerases (PARPs) play fundamental roles in multiple DNA damage recognition and repair pathways. Persistent nuclear PARP activation causes cellular NAD+ depletion and exacerbates cellular aging. However, very little is known about mitochondrial PARP (mtPARP) and PARylation. The existence of mtPARP is controversial, and the biological roles for mtPARP induced mitochondrial PARylation are unclear. Here, we demonstrate the presence of PARP1 and PARylation in purified mitochondria. The addition of the PARP1 substrate NAD+ to isolated mitochondria induces PARylation which is suppressed by PARP inhibitor olaparib treatment. Mitochondrial PARylation was also evaluated by enzymatic labeling of terminal ADP-ribose (ELTA) labeling. To further confirm the presence of mtPARP1, we evaluated mitochondrial nucleoid PARylation by ADP ribose-chromatin affinity purification (ADPr-ChAP) . We observed that NAD+ stimulated PARylation and TFAM occupancy on the mtDNA regulatory region D-loop, inducing mtDNA transcription. These findings suggest that PARP1 is integrally involved in mitochondrial PARylation and NAD+ dependent mtPARP1 activity contributes to mtDNA transcription regulation.

Impact of poly(ADP-Ribose) polymerase 1 on mitochondrial DNA repair

Project description:Formation of a repair enzyme complex is beneficial to DNA repair. Despite cellular studies showed that mitochondrial DNA polymerase (Pol ) and poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) were found in the same complex along with other mitochondrial DNA repair enzymes and mitochondrial PARP1 level is correlated with mtDNA integrity, the molecular basis for the functional connection between Pol and PARP1 has not been illustrated, because cellular functions of PARP1 in DNA repair are intertwined with metabolism via NAD+ (nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide), the substrate of PARP1 and a metabolic cofactor. To dissect the direct effect of PARP1 on mtDNA from the secondary perturbation metabolism, we report here biochemical studies that recapitulated Pol PARylation observed in cells, showed that PARP1 regulates Pol activity during DNA repair in a metabolic cofactor NAD+ (nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide)-dependent manner. In the absence of NAD+, PARP1 completely inhibits Pol, while increasing NAD+ level to physiological concentration enables Pol to resume maximum repair activity. Because cellular NAD+ levels are linked to metabolism and to ATP production via oxidative phosphorylation, our results suggest that mtDNA damage repair is correlated with cellular metabolic state and integrity of the respiratory chain.

Study target genes of STAT3

Project description:This study is to identify downstream genes regulated by STAT3 in response cytosolic acidification. Dysregulated intracellular pH is emerging as a hallmark of cancer. In spite of their acidic environment, cancer cells maintain alkaline intracellular pH (≥7.4) that promotes cancer progression by inhibiting apoptosis and increasing glycolysis, cell growth, migration and invasion. Here, we identify signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) as a key player in the maintenance of alkaline cytosolic pH. STAT3 associates with the vacuolar H+-ATPase on lysosomal membranes in a coiled coil domain-dependent manner and increases its activity in living cells and in vitro. Accordingly, STAT3 depletion disrupts intracellular proton equilibrium by decreasing and increasing cytosolic and lysosomal pH, respectively. This dysregulation can be reverted by reconstitution with wild type STAT3 as well as STAT3 mutants unable to activate target genes (Tyr-705-Phe and DNA binding mutant) or to regulate mitochondrial respiration (Ser-727-Ala). Upon cytosolic acidification, phospho-Tyr-705-STAT3 is rapidly dephosphorylated, transcriptionally inactivated and further recruited to lysosomal membranes to reestablish intracellular proton equilibrium and to enhance cell survival. These data reveal STAT3 as a regulator of intracellular pH, and vice versa intracellular pH as a regulator of STAT3 localization and activity.

Gene expression in PANC-1 and AsPC-1 human pancreatic carcinoma cells under hypoxia, nutrient starvation and low pH culture condition.

Project description:The conditions of the tumor microenvironment, such as hypoxia and nutrient starvation, play critical roles in cancer progression. However, the role of acidic extracellular pH in cancer progression is not studied as extensively as that of hypoxia. Here, we show that extracellular acidic pH (pH 6.8) triggered activation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2) by stimulating nuclear translocation and promoter binding to its targets along with intracellular acidification. Interestingly, inhibition of SREBP2, but not SREBP1, suppressed the upregulation of low pH-induced cholesterol biosynthesis-related genes. Moreover, acyl-CoA synthetase short-chain family member 2 (ACSS2), a direct SREBP2 target, provided a growth advantage to cancer cells under acidic pH. Furthermore, acidic pH-responsive SREBP2 target genes were associated with reduced overall survival of cancer patients. Thus, our findings show that SREBP2 is a key transcriptional regulator of metabolic genes and progression of cancer cells, partly in response to extracellular acidification.
