Project description:Aerobic glycolysis (the Warburg effect) has been demonstrated to facilitate tumor progression by producing lactate, which has important roles as a proinflammatory and immunosuppressive mediator. However, how aerobic glycolysis is directly regulated is largely unknown. Here, we show that ectopic Zeb1 directly increases the transcriptional expression of HK2, PFKP and PKM2, which are glycolytic rate-determining enzymes, thus promoting the Warburg effect and breast cancer proliferation, migration, and chemoresistance in vitro and in vivo. In addition, Zeb1 exerts its biological effects to induce glycolytic activity in response to hypoxia via the PI3K/Akt/HIF-1α signaling axis, which contributes to fostering an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Mechanistically, breast cancer cells with ectopic Zeb1 expression produce lactate in the acidic tumor milieu to induce the alternatively activated macrophage M2-like phenotype through stimulation of the PKA/CREB signaling pathway. Clinically, the expression of Zeb1 is positively correlated with dysregulation of aerobic glycolysis, accumulation of M2-like tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and a poor prognosis in patients with breast cancer. In conclusion, these findings identify a Zeb1-dependent mechanism as a driver of breast cancer progression that acts by stimulating tumor-macrophage interplay, which could be a viable therapeutic target for the treatment of advanced human cancers.

Project description:Macrophages polarize to divergent functional phenotypes depending on their microenvironment in a highly coordinated process of metabolic and transcriptional rewiring that is still poorly understood. We developed an Integrated Metabolomics and Gene Expression (IMAGE) profiling and analysis pipeline and applied it to extensively characterize global metabolic programs of macrophage polarization. IMAGE analysis identified 7 major (novel and known) regulatory modules responsible for metabolic rewiring during polarization, which we validated through extensive carbon and nitrogen labeling experiments. M1-specific modules included: inflammatory variant of the aspartate-arginosuccinate shunt; TCA cycle break at Idh expression accompanied by citrate accumulation and production of itaconate and fatty acid synthesis. In M2 macrophages we discovered significant role of glutamine in polarization, providing nitrogen for UDP-GlcNAc synthesis. Consistently, glutamine deprivation results in significant M2-specific defect in polarization. Our data provide, for the first time, a global view of the integrated transcriptional and metabolic changes that result in M1 and M2 polarization. Bone-marrow derived macrophages were generated from C57BL/6 mice were plated at ~100k cells per well in 96-well plate and stimulated with either Il4 or combination of LPS&IFNg or left unstimulated for 24 h mRNA was derived from lysates using Invitrogen oligo-dT beads

Project description:In response to microenvironmental signals macrophages undergo different activation, indicated as classic/M1 and alternative/M2 polarization. C-Myc transcription factor could be an essential player in M2 polarization. Functional relevance of c-Myc in M2 macrophage biology is investigated by evaluating the effect of 100-58F4, on the transcriptional profile induced on human macrophages by IL-4. Human monocytes were obtained from normal donor buffy coats by two-step gradient centrifugation using Ficoll (Biochrom) and Percoll (Amersham). Non-adherent cells were discarded, and the purified monocytes were incubated for 7 days in RPMI 1640 (Biochom) supplemented with 10% FCS (HyClone) and 100 ng/mL M-CSF to obtain resting macrophages. Macrophage polarization was obtained by removing the culture medium and culturing cells in RPMI 1640 supplemented with 10% FCS and 100 ng/mL LPS plus 20 ng/mL IFN-gamma (M1 polarization) or 20 ng/mL IL-4 (M2 polarization) for 24 h. When needed, chemical inhibitors were added with IL-4.

Project description:N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant mRNA modification in mammals and it plays a vital role in various biological processes. However, the roles of m6A on cervical cancer tumorigenesis, especially macrophages infiltrated in the tumor microenvironment (TME) of cervical cancer, are still unclear. We analyzed the abnormal m6A methylation in cervical cancer, using CaSki and THP-1 cell lines, that might influence macrophages' polarization and/or function. In addition, C57bl-6j and Balb/c-nude mice were used for validation in vivo In this study, MeRIP-Seq analysis revealed the m6A profiles in cervical cancer. Then, we discovered the high expression of METTL14 (methyltransferase 14, N6-adenosine-methyltransferase subunit) in cervical cancer tissues can promote the proportion of PD-1 positive tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), which have an obstacle to devour tumor cells. Functional, changes of METTL14 in cervical cancer inhibits the recognition and phagocytosis of macrophages to tumor cells. Mechanistically, the abnormality of METTL14 could target the glycolysis of tumor in vivo and vitro. Moreover, lactate acid produced by tumor glycolysis has an important role in the PD-1 expression of TAMs as a proinflammatory and immunosuppressive mediator. The study revealed the effect of glycolysis regulated by METTL14-related methylation on the expression of PD-1 and phagocytosis of macrophages, which showed that METTL14 was a potential therapeutic target for treating advanced human cancers.

Project description:This study aims to uncover the effects of cancer-derived branched-chain ketoacids on macrophage polarization and the underlying mechanism. We uncovered the global responses of branched-chain ketoacids-stimulated macrophages by proteomics analysis. Functional enrihment analysis indicated that these ketoacids significantly altered macrophage metabolism, apoptosis and phagocytosis.

Project description:This study provides evidence on the molecular mechanisms by which P2RX7 signaling promotes Th1 cell differentiation. P2RX7 induces T-bet expression and aerobic glycolysis in splenic CD4+ T cells that respond to malaria, at a time prior to Th1/Tfh polarization. Cell-intrinsic P2RX7 signaling sustains the glycolytic pathway and causes bioenergetic mitochondrial stress in activated CD4+ T cells. We also show in vitro the phenotypic similarities of Th1-polarized CD4+ T cells that do not express P2RX7 and those in which the glycolytic pathway is pharmacologically inhibited. In addition, ATP synthase blockade in vitro and the consequent inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation, which forces cells to use aerobic glycolysis, is sufficient to promote rapid CD4+ T cell proliferation and polarization to the Th1 profile in the absence of P2RX7. These data demonstrate that P2RX7-mediated metabolic reprograming for aerobic glycolysis is a key event for Th1 cell differentiation and suggest that ATP synthase inhibition is a fundamental mechanism by which P2X7 signaling induces the Th1 response.
