Project description:To investigate the mechanism of BCAT1 in mediating resistance to third-generation EGFR-TKI, we employed RNA-seq analysis to compare the transcriptome signature of ASK120067-resistant NSCLC cells with or without BCAT1 knockdown. Here, gene set enrichment (GSEA) revealed a significant decrease in the expression of genes in glycolysis pathway following small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated BCAT1 knockdown, which indicated the role for BCAT1 in supporting TKI resistance through upregulation of glycolysis.

Project description:In this report, we revealed that branched chain amino acid transaminase 1 (BCAT1) is highly enriched in both mouse and human TKI-resistant CML cells. Leukemia was almost completely abrogated upon BCAT1 knockdown during transplantation in a BCR-ABLT315I-induced murine TKI-resistant CML model . Moreover, knockdown of BCAT1 led to a dramatic decrease in the proliferation of TKI-resistant human leukemia cell lines. BCAA/BCAT1 signaling enhanced the phosphorylation of CREB, which is required for maintenance of TKI-resistant CML cells. Importantly, blockade of BCAA/BCAT1 signaling efficiently inhibited leukemogenesis both in vivo and in vitro.

Project description:The branched chain amino acid (BCAA) pathway and high levels of BCAA transaminase 1 (BCAT1) have recently been associated with aggressiveness in several cancer entities. However, the mechanistic role of BCAT1 in this process remains largely uncertain. By performing high-resolution proteomic analysis of human acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) stem cell (LSC) and non-LSC populations, we found the BCAA pathway enriched and BCAT1 overexpressed in LSCs. We show that BCAT1, which transfers α-amino groups from BCAAs to α-ketoglutarate (αKG), is a critical regulator of intracellular αKG homeostasis. Next to its role in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle αKG is an essential co-factor for αKG-dependent dioxygenases such as EGLN1 and the TET family of DNA demethylases. Knockdown of BCAT1 in leukaemia cells caused accumulation of αKG leading to HIF1a protein degradation mediated by EGLN1. This resulted in a growth and survival defect and abrogated leukaemia-initiating potential. In contrast, overexpression (OE) of BCAT1 in leukaemia cells decreased intracellular αKG levels and caused DNA hypermethylation via altered TET activity. BCAT1high AMLs displayed a DNA hypermethylation phenotype similar to cases carrying mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDHmut), in which TET2 is inhibited by the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate. High levels of BCAT1 strongly correlate with shorter overall survival in IDHwtTET2wt, but not IDHmut or TET2mut AMLs. Gene sets characteristic for IDHmut AMLs were enriched in IDHwtTETwtBCAT1high patient samples. BCAT1high AMLs showed robust enrichment for LSC signatures and paired sample analysis revealed a significant increase of BCAT1 levels upon disease relapse. In summary, by limiting intracellular αKG, BCAT1 links BCAA catabolism to HIF1a stability and regulation of the epigenomic landscape. Our results suggest the BCAA-BCAT1-αKG pathway as a therapeutic target to compromise LSC function in IDHwtTET2wt AML patients.

Project description:Previously, we have identified cytosolic form of the branched chain amino-acid transaminase 1 (BCAT1) as notably hypomethylated in low-malignant potential (LMP) and high-grade (HG) serous epithelial ovarian tumors, compared to normal ovarian tissues. Here we show that BCAT1 is strongly overexpressed in both LMP and HG serous EOC tumors, thus suggesting that epigenetic mechanisms might be implicated in BCAT1 overexpression in serous epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). Knockdown of the BCAT1 expression in EOC cells led to sharp decrease of cell proliferation and induced S-phase cell cycle arrest. Additionally, BCAT1 suppression significantly inhibited EOC cell migration and invasion. Gene expression profiling and consecutive network and pathway analyses confirmed these findings, as numerous genes and pathways known previously to be implicated in ovarian tumorigenesis, including EOC tumor invasion and metastasis, were found to be downregulated upon BCAT1 suppression, while some tumor suppressor genes were induced. Taken together, our data are indicative for a strong oncogenic potential of the BCAT1 gene in advanced EOC and identify this transaminase as a novel EOC biomarker and putative EOC therapeutic target.
