ROLE OF FATTY ACID ß-OXIDATION IN LYMPHANGIOGENESIS

ABSTRACT: Lymphatic vessels are involved in fluid drainage and are critical for health. To date, only genetic signaling pathways have been implicated in lymphatic development, and a role for metabolism has not been described. Here, we report that transcription factor Prox1 increases fatty acid ß-oxidation (FAO) through upregulation of CPT1a, a rate-controlling step of FAO. Lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) oxidize fatty acids to proliferate and migrate. By providing acetyl-CoA, FAO is also critical for the maintenance of differentiated LECs through the regulation of histone acetylation of key lymphangiogenic genes. Loss of CPT1a in LEC precursors causes lymphatic defects in vivo, while restoration of acetyl-CoA by supplementing acetate to replenish cellular acetyl-CoA levels rescues this process.

Quiescent endothelial cells upregulate fatty acid β-oxidation for vasculoprotection via redox homeostasis

Project description:Little is known about metabolic changes accompanying endothelial cell (EC) quiescence. Nonetheless, when dysfunctional, quiescent ECs (QECs) contribute to multiple cardiovascular diseases. ECs need fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) for proliferation. Surprisingly, we now report that QECs are not hypo-metabolic, but upregulate FAO >3-fold higher than proliferating ECs (PECs), not to support biomass or energy production, but to sustain the TCA cycle for redox homeostasis through NADPH production. Hence, inhibition of FAO-controlling CPT1A promotes EC dysfunction (anti-fibrinolysis, leukocyte infiltration, barrier disruption) by increasing oxidative stress in CPT1AΔEC mice with endothelial CPT1A loss. Mechanistically, Notch1 orchestrates the use of FAO for redox balance in QECs. Supplementation of acetate (metabolized to acetyl-CoA) induces vasculoprotection against oxidative stress and EC dysfunction in CPT1AΔEC mice, possibly creating therapeutic opportunities. Thus, ECs use FAO for vasculoprotection against their high oxygen (oxidative stress-prone) milieu, and for different metabolic purposes dependent on their proliferation versus quiescence status.

A fatty acid oxidation-dependent metabolic shift regulates adult neural stem cell quiescence

Project description:Adult hippocampal neurogenesis is important for certain forms of cognition and failing neurogenesis has been implicated in neuropsychiatric diseases. The neurogenic capacity of hippocampal neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) depends on a balance between quiescent and proliferative states. However, how this balance is regulated remains poorly understood. Here we show that the rate of fatty acid oxidation (FAO) defines quiescence vs. proliferation in NSPCs. Quiescent NSPCs show high levels of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (Cpt1a)-dependent FAO, which is downregulated in proliferating NSPCs. Pharmacological inhibition and conditional deletion of Cpt1a in vitro and in vivo leads to altered NSPC behavior, showing that Cpt1a-dependent FAO is required for stem cell maintenance and proper neurogenesis. Strikingly, experimental manipulation of malonyl-CoA, the metabolite that regulates levels of FAO, is sufficient to induce exit from quiescence and to enhance NSPC proliferation. Thus, the data presented here identify a shift in FAO metabolism that governs NSPC behavior and suggest an instructive role for fatty acid metabolism in regulating NSPC activity.

CRISPR/Cas9 screens reveal that hexokinase 2 enhances cancer stemness and tumorigenicity

Project description:We identified that HK2 facilitate the maintenance and self-renewal of liver cancer stem cells (CSCs). Moreover, HK2 exerts its function by enhancing the accumulation of acetyl-CoA and epigenetically activating the transcription of acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4 (ACSL4), leading to an increase in fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) activity.

Molecular profiling of lymphatic endothelial cells activation in vitro

Project description:The lymphatic vascular system plays a key role in cancer progression. Indeed, the activation of lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) through the lymphangiogenic process allows the formation of new lymphatic vessels (LVs) that represent the major route for dissemination of solid tumors. This process is governed by a plethora of cancer-derived and microevironmental mediators that strictly activate and control specific molecular pathways in LECs. In this work we used an in vitro model of LEC activation to trigger lymphangiogenesis using a mix of recombinant pro-lymphangiogenic factors (VFS) and a co-culture system with human melanoma cells. Both systems efficiently activated LECs, and under these experimental conditions RNA sequencing was exploited to unveil the transcriptional profile of activated LECs. Our data demonstrate that both recombinant and tumor cell-mediated activation trigger significant molecular pathways associated with endothelial activation, morphogenesis and cytokine-mediated signaling. In addition, this system provides information on new genes to be further investigated in the lymphangiogenesis process and open the possibility for further exploitation in other tumor contexts where lymphatic dissemination plays a relevant role.

A role for CPT1A to prevent blood vessel permeability revealed by in depth proteomics

Project description:Endothelial cells (ECs) line the inner wall of blood vessels and maintain vascular stability. Vascular stability alteration is a hallmark of pathologies such as cancer and thrombosis. A role for fatty acid oxidation (FAO) in this process is unknown. Integrating MS-proteomics and metabolic modeling revealed that FAO increases when ECs cultured on matrigel are assembled into a fully formed network. Inhibition of CPT1A in ECs, a limiting enzyme in FAO, results in disruption of this network. Acute CPT1A inhibition reduces cellular ATP levels and oxygen consumption, which can be restored replenishing the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCAc). Phosphoproteomic changes upon acute CPT1A inhibition evoked those triggered by thrombin, a potent inducer of EC permeability through calcium signaling. Indeed, CPT1A inhibition increased EC permeability and vascular leakage, which were restored replenishing the TCAc or, partially, inhibiting calcium influx. Our study shows the possibility of altering FAO to interfere with ECs in diseases.

Induction of fatty acid oxidation underlies DNA damage-induced cell death and ameliorates obesity-driven chemoresistance

Project description:The DNA damage response is essential for preserving genome integrity and eliminating damaged cells. Although cellular metabolism plays a central role in cell fate decision between proliferation, survival or death, the metabolic response to DNA damage remains largely obscure. Here, we show that DNA damage induces fatty acid oxidation (FAO), which is required for DNA damage-induced cell death. Mechanistically, FAO induction increases cellular acetyl-CoA levels and promotes N-alpha-acetylation of caspase-2, leading to cell death. Whereas chemotherapy increases FAO related genes through PPARα, accelerated hypoxia-inducible factor-1α stabilization by tumor cells in obese mice impedes the upregulation of FAO, which contributes to its chemoresistance. Finally, we find that improving FAO by PPARα activation ameliorates obesity-driven chemoresistance and enhances the outcomes of chemotherapy in obese mice. These findings reveal the shift toward FAO induction is an important metabolic response to DNA damage and may provide effective therapeutic strategies for cancer patients with obesity.

Fatty acid oxidation protects cancer cells from apoptosis through increasing mitochondrial membrane lipids [PS-ac-peptide]

Project description:Overcoming resistance to chemotherapies remains a major unmet need for cancers such as triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Therefore, mechanistic studies to provide insight for drug development are urgently needed to overcome TNBC therapy resistance. Recently, an important role of fatty acid β-Oxidation (FAO) in chemoresistance has been shown. But how FAO might mitigate tumor cell apoptosis by chemotherapy is unclearknown. Here, we show that elevated FAO activates STAT3 by acetylation via elevated acetyl-CoA. Acetylated STAT3 upregulates expression of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACSL4), resulting in increased phospholipid synthesis. Elevating phospholipids in mitochondrial membranes leads to heightened mitochondrial integrity, which in turn overcomes chemotherapy-induced tumor cell apoptosis. Conversely, in both cultured tumor cells and xenograft tumors, enhanced cancer cell apoptosis by inhibiting ASCL4 or specifically targeting acetylated-STAT3 is associated with a reduction in phospholipids within mitochondrial membranes. This study demonstrates a critical mechanism underlying tumor cell chemoresistance.

FDXR Drives Primary and Endocrine Resistant Tumor Cell Growth in ER+ Breast Cancer via CPT1A-Mediated Fatty Acid Oxidation

Project description:The majority of breast cancers (BCs) harboring estrogen receptor (ER) have shown endocrine resistance. Our previous study has demonstrated that ferredoxin reductase (FDXR) promotes mitochondrial function and ER+ breast tumorigenesis. Here, integrative analyses of targeted metabolomics assay and gene expression profiling show that FDXR potentiates fatty acid oxidation (FAO) through positive regulation of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A) expression. Treatment with ER antagonist (tamoxifen) or degrader (fulvestrant) leads to increased expression of FDXR and CPT1A. In line with this finding, we find that FDXR-CPT1A-FAO axis is required for primary and endocrine resistant breast cancer cell growth. Therapeutically,combining endocrine therapy with FAO inhibitor synergistically reduces primary and endocrine resistant breast cancer cell growth, thus providing a potential combinatory treatment for ER+ breast cancer. We used microarrays to be able to elucidate to some extent the gene regulatory mechanisms of FDXR regulating breast cancer metabolism.

Atlas of lymphangiogenesis [scRNA-Seq]

Project description:During development, lymphatic vasculature forms as a second and distinct network that derives from embryonic blood vessels. Transdifferentiation of venous endothelial cells into specified lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) is the first step in this process. Transdifferentiation and specification of LEC fate requires Prox1, but how Prox1 regulates transdifferentiation and differentiation is not fully understood. We present a single cell transcriptomic atlas of lymphangiogenesis spanning four key developmental stages that reveals new markers and functional regulators of lymphatic development. We extend this to comprehensively profile single cell transcriptomic and chromatin changes controlled by Prox1 using zygotic prox1a mutants, which form lymphatics that then dedifferentiate. Combining this with single cell analysis of Prox1-null, double prox1a/prox1b maternal zygotic mutants, we reveal in depth the role of Prox1 in control of LEC fate specification and differentiation. This resource reveals dual and progressive functions for Prox1, blocking blood vascular and hematopoietic fate while simultaneously up-regulating a small number of early acting genes that include tspan18a/b and lgals3a/b which are essential for lymphangiogenesis. This embryonic developmental resource will serve as a baseline to better understand both developmental and pathological lymphangiogenesis in the future.
