Project description:Patients with aggressive prostate cancer generally present with poor outcomes. Identifying the factors regulating prostate cancer aggressiveness may open new avenues in therapy. Specifically, information from prostate cancer patient databases revealed that higher phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase isoform 2 (PCK2) levels correlate with more aggressive tumors and lower survival rates. Herein, we show that high tumorigenic prostate cancer cell clones express high levels of PCK2. We found that elevated levels of PCK2 are critical for the glucose metabolic remodeling and the maintenance of tumor-initiating cells (TICs) in aggressive prostate cancer. Our data suggest that PCK2 promotes tumorigenicity by lowering acetyl-CoA levels through reducing the mitochondrial tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. Thus, PCK2 is a potential therapeutic target for aggressive prostate cancer. 2 subclones have been isolated from DU145 cells. The epithelial like (EL) clone has a high tumorigenicity ability and enriched tumor initiating cells than mesenchymal like (ML) clone. Genes with differential expression pattern between these two clones were detected by gene micorarray.

Project description:Cancer cells must adapt metabolically to survive and proliferate when nutrients are limiting. Here we used combined transcriptional-metabolomic network analysis to identify metabolic pathways that support glucose-independent tumor cell growth. We found that glucose deprivation stimulated the re-wiring of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle and co-opting early steps of gluconeogenesis to promote cell proliferation under low glucose. Glucose limitation promoted the production of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) from glutamine, which was used to fuel biosynthetic pathways normally sustained by glucose, including serine and purine biosynthesis. Mitochondrial PEP-carboxykinase (PCK2) was required for this glutamine-dependent metabolic reprogramming. PCK2 expression was dependent on the hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs), and required to maintain tumor cell proliferation under limiting glucose availability. Elevated PCK2 expression is observed in several human tumor types, and enriched in tumor tissue from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Our results define a novel role for PCK2 in cancer cell metabolic reprogramming that promotes glucose-independent cell growth and metabolic stress resistance in human tumors.

Project description:We have identified a methanol- and biotin-starvation-inducible zinc finger protein named ROP [repressor of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK)] in the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. When P.pastoris strain GS115 (wild-type, WT) is cultured in biotin-deficient, glucose ammonium (Bio-) medium, growth is suppressed due to the inhibition of anaplerotic synthesis of oxaloacetate, catalysed by the biotin-dependent enzyme pyruvate carboxylase (PC). Deletion of ROP results in a strain (∆ROP) that can grow under biotin-deficient conditions due to derepression of a biotin- and PC-independent pathway of anaplerotic synthesis of oxaloacetate. Northern analysis as well as microarray expression profiling of RNA isolated from WT and ∆ROP strains cultured in Bio(-) medium indicate that expression of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene (PEPCK) is induced in ∆ROP during biotin- or PC-deficiency even under glucose-abundant conditions. There is an excellent correlation between PEPCK expression and growth of ∆ROP in Bio(-) medium, suggesting that ROP-mediated regulation of PEPCK may have a crucial role in the biotin- and PC-independent growth of the ∆ROP strain. To our knowledge, ROP is the first example, of a zinc finger transcription factor involved in the catabolite repression of PEPCK in yeast cells cultured under biotin- or PC-deficient and glucose-abundant conditions.

Project description:Objective: To determine the functional relevance of CD44 isoforms for distant metastasis formation in human colorectal cancer (CRC). Design: We used a pan-CD44 knockdown (kd) approach in a clinically relevant cell line/ xenograft model (HT-29) that spontaneously metastasizes to multiple sites in vivo. Transcriptomics, proteomics and kinomics were used in addition to corresponding validation steps to explain the observed effects. Findings were further corroborated by 3D in vitro culture, tissue microarray and bioinformatics analyses. Results: HT-29 cells mainly express the clinically relevant CD44 isoforms 3 and 4. CD44 kd impairs primary tumor formation and abrogates distant metastasis in vivo. Both CD44 isoforms are induced in the paranecrotic, hypoxic regions of the xenograft primary tumors but are largely absent in the corresponding lung metastases. Tumor angiogenesis is improved in the paranecrosis upon CD44 kd, accompanied by reduced HIF-1α, EMT, and CEACAM5 expression. Vice versa, mitochondrial genes and proteins are induced upon CD44 kd as is oxidative phosphorylation. Hypoxia increases VEGF release from 3D HT-29 spheres, which is strikingly enhanced in CD44 kd spheres. The metastasis-promoting role of CD44 is reflected by an unfavorable prognostic effect of CD44 isoform 4 in patients (as opposed to isoform 3). Accordingly, the genes regulated by the CD44 kd in vivo concordantly overlap specifically with the genes regulated by CD44 isoform 4 in patients. Conclusion: In CRC, CD44 kd (most probably isoform 4) evidently impairs metastasis formation by improving VEGF release and thus angiogenesis in hypoxic conditions, thereby decreasing hypoxia, EMT, stemness, and promoting mitochondrial metabolism.

Project description:Pyruvate kinase (PK) catalyzes the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate during glycolysis. The PK isoform PKM2 has additional roles in regulation of gene transcription and protein phosphorylation. PKM2 controls macrophage metabolic remodeling in inflammation, but its role in T cell biology is poorly understood. These results show that TEPP-46, an activator of PKM2, reduces CD4+ T cell activation, proliferation, and cytokine production by inhibiting essential signaling pathways and preventing glycolysis.

Project description:A hallmark of the biofilm architecture is the presence of microcolonies. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms governing microcolony formation. In the human pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa, microcolony formation is dependent on the two-component regulator MifR, with mifR mutant biofilms exhibiting an overall thin structure lacking microcolonies, and overexpression of mifR resulting in hyper-microcolony formation. Here, we made use of the distinct MifR-dependent phenotypes to elucidate mechanisms associated with microcolony formation. Using global transcriptomic and proteomic approaches, we demonstrate that cells located within microcolonies experience stressful, oxygen limited, and energy starving conditions, as indicated by the activation of stress response mechanisms and anaerobic and fermentative processes, in particular pyruvate fermentation. Inactivation of genes involved in pyruvate utilization including uspK, acnA and ldhA abrogated microcolony formation in a manner similar to mifR inactivation. Moreover, depletion of pyruvate from the growth medium impaired biofilm and microcolony formation, while addition of pyruvate significantly increased microcolony formation. Addition of pyruvate partly restored microcolony formation in ∆mifR biofilms. Moreover, addition of pyruvate to or expression of mifR in lactate dehydrogenase (ldhA) mutant biofilms did not restore microcolony formation. Consistent with the finding of denitrification genes not demonstrating distinct expression patterns in biofilms forming or lacking microcolonies, addition of nitrate did not alter microcolony formation. Our findings indicate the fermentative utilization of pyruvate to be a microcolony-specific adaptation to the oxygen limitation and energy starvation of the P. aeruginosa biofilm environment.
