Project description:Topoisomerase II (topo II) is essential for disentangling newly replicated chromosomes. DNA unlinking involves the physical passage of one duplex through another and depends on the transient formation of double-stranded DNA breaks, a step exploited by frontline chemotherapeutics to kill cancer cells. Although anti-topo II drugs are efficacious, they also elicit cytotoxic side effects in normal cells; insights into how topo II is regulated in different cellular contexts is essential to improve their targeted use. Using chemical fractionation and mass spectrometry, we have discovered that topo II is subject to metabolic control through the TCA cycle. We show that TCA metabolites stimulate topo II activity in vitro and that levels of TCA flux modulate cellular sensitivity to anti-topo II drugs in vivo. Our work reveals an unanticipated connection between the control of DNA topology and cellular metabolism, a finding with ramifications for the clinical use of anti-topo II therapies.

Project description:Recent studies have reported that plasma levels of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolites and TCA cycle-related metabolite change in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and in healthy humans after exercise. Exogenous dietary citric acid has been reported to alleviate fatigue during daily activities and after exercise. However, it is unknown whether dietary citric acid affects the plasma levels of these metabolites. Therefore, the present study aimed to investigate the effects of exogenously administered citric acid on TCA cycle metabolites and TCA cycle-related metabolites in plasma. Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into control and citric acid groups. We evaluated the effect of exogenous dietary citric acid on the plasma TCA cycle and TCA cycle-related metabolites by metabolome analysis using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). TCA cycle metabolites, including plasma citrate, cis-aconitate, and isocitrate, were significantly elevated after exogenous administration of citric acid. Anaplerotic amino acids, which are converted to TCA cycle metabolites, such as serine, glycine, tryptophan, lysine, leucine, histidine, glutamine, arginine, isoleucine, methionine, valine, and phenylalanine, also showed significantly elevated levels. Citric acid administration significantly increased the levels of initial TCA cycle metabolites in the plasma. This increase after administration of citric acid was shown to be opposite to the metabolic changes observed in patients with CFS. These results contribute novel insight into the fatigue alleviation mechanism of citric acid.

Project description:In response to the dynamic intra-tumor microenvironment, melanoma cells adopt distinct phenotypic states associated with differential expression of the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF). The response to hypoxia is driven by hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIFs) that reprogram metabolism and promote angiogenesis. HIF1α indirectly represses MITF that can activate HIF1α expression. Although HIF and MITF share a highly related DNA-binding specificity, it is unclear whether they co-regulate subset of target genes. Moreover, the genomewide impact of hypoxia on melanoma and whether melanoma cell lines representing different phenotypic states exhibit distinct hypoxic responses is unknown. Here we show that three different melanoma cell lines exhibit widely different hypoxia responses with only a core 23 genes regulated in common after 12 hr in hypoxia. Surprisingly, under hypoxia MITF is transiently up-regulated by HIF1α and co-regulates a subset of HIF targets including VEGFA. Significantly, we also show that MITF represses itself and also regulates SDHB to control the TCA cycle and suppress pseudo-hypoxia. Our results reveal a previously unsuspected role for MITF in metabolism and the network of factors underpinning the hypoxic response in melanoma.

Project description:The nutritional source for catabolism in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle is a fundamental question in metabolic physiology. Limited by data and mathematical analysis, controversy exists. Using isotope-labeling data in vivo across several experimental conditions, we construct multiple models of central carbon metabolism and develop methods based on metabolic flux analysis (MFA) to solve for the preferences of glucose, lactate, and other nutrients used in the TCA cycle. We show that in nearly all circumstances, glucose contributes more than lactate as a substrate to the TCA cycle. This conclusion is verified in different animal strains from different studies and different administrations of 13C glucose, and is extended to multiple tissue types. Thus, this quantitative analysis of organismal metabolism defines the relative contributions of nutrient fluxes in physiology, provides a resource for analysis of in vivo isotope tracing data, and concludes that glucose is the major nutrient used in mammals.

Project description:AimsTo examine relationships of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolites with risk of cardiovascular events and mortality after acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and evaluate the mediating role of renal function in these associations.MethodsThis is a prospective study performed among 309 ACS patients who were followed for a mean of 6.7 years. During this period 131 patients developed major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), defined as the composite of myocardial infarction, hospitalization for heart failure, and all-cause mortality, and 90 deaths were recorded. Plasma concentrations of citrate, aconitate, isocitrate, succinate, malate, fumarate, α-ketoglutarate and d/l-2-hydroxyglutarate were quantified using LC-tandem MS. Multivariable Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios, and a counterfactual-based mediation analysis was performed to test the mediating role of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).ResultsAfter adjustment for traditional cardiovascular risk factors and medications, positive associations were found between isocitrate and MACE (HR per 1 SD, 1.25; 95% CI: 1.03, 1.50), and between aconitate, isocitrate, d/l-2-hydroxyglutarate and all-cause mortality (HR per 1 SD, 1.41; 95% CI: 1.07, 1.84; 1.58; 95% CI: 1.23, 2.02; 1.38; 95% CI: 1.14, 1.68). However, these associations were no longer significant after additional adjustment for eGFR. Mediation analyses demonstrated that eGFR is a strong mediator of these associations.ConclusionThese findings underscore the importance of TCA metabolites and renal function as conjunctive targets in the prevention of ACS complications.

Project description:In response to the dynamic intra-tumor microenvironment, melanoma cells adopt different phenotypic states possessing distinct biological properties associated with differential expression of the microphthalmia-associated transcription factor (MITF). The response to hypoxia, a major microenvironmental cue, is underpinned by expression of hypoxia-inducible transcription factors (HIFs) that reprogram metabolism and promote pro-angiogenic VEGF expression. HIF1 indirectly represses MITF via the transcription factor bHLHE40/DEC1, and MITF can activate HIF1 expression. Although HIF and MITF share a highly related DNA-binding specificity, it is unclear whether they share a subset of target genes. Moreover, the genome-wide impact of hypoxia on melanoma, which genes are direct HIF targets, and whether melanoma cell lines representing different phenotypic states exhibit distinct hypoxic responses is unknown. Here we show, that three different melanoma cell lines exhibit widely different hypoxia responses with only a core 23 genes regulated in common after 12 h in hypoxia. Surprisingly, under hypoxia MITF is transiently up-regulated by HIF1 and co-regulates a subset of HIF targets including VEGFA. Significantly, we also show that MITF represses itself and also regulates SDHB to control the TCA cycle and suppress pseudo-hypoxia. Our results reveal a previously unsuspected role for MITF in metabolism and the network of factors underpinning the hypoxic response in melanoma.

Project description:Whether growing cancer cells prefer lactate as a fuel over glucose or vice versa is an important but controversial issue. Labeling of tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates with glucose or lactate isotope tracers is often used to report the relative contributions of these two metabolites to the TCA cycle. However, this approach may not yield accurate results, as isotopic labeling may not accurately reflect net contributions of each metabolite. This may be due to isotopic exchange occurring during the conversion between pyruvate and lactate. To evaluate this quantitatively, we used an equation (C G - C G' = C L' - C L) assessing the relationship between isotopic labeling and net consumption measurements in vitro. C G and C L refer to the contributions of glucose and lactate to the TCA cycle as measured by their net consumption, whereas C G' and C L' refer to glucose's and lactate's contributions determined with isotopic labeling. We found that the isotopic labeling data overestimate the net contribution of lactate to the TCA cycle and underestimate that of glucose. The overestimated amount is equal to the isotopic exchange amount between pyruvate and lactate. After excluding the interference of isotopic exchange, the major carbon contribution (i.e. acetyl-CoA) to the TCA cycle comes from glucose rather than lactate in vitro We propose that these relative contributions of glucose and lactate may also be present in cancer cells in vivo.
