Project description:Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) metabolism is dysregulated in diabetic retinopathy. Retina Müller cells maintain various metabolic processes and immune homeostasis. Here, we found that branched-chain aminotransferase 1 (BCAT1), which catalyzes the first step of BCAAs metabolism, was predominantly expressed in retina Müller cells. Under diabetic conditions, BCAT1 showed increased enzymatic activity in Müller cells, which drove the remodeling of BCAAs catabolism, and upregulated the expression of inflammatory genes such as interleukin 6 (IL6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Mechanistically, BCAT1 activity was negatively regulated by Polo-like kinase 4 (PLK4) via phosphorylation at threonine 333. Increased BCAT1 activity further reduced α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) levels, a critical substrate for histone demethylation, resulting in higher H3K4me3 levels at inflammatory gene promoters, and further upregulated inflammation genes. Treatment with chemical BCAT inhibitor significantly reduced inflammatory gene expression and vascular leakage in diabetic retinas in vivo. These findings reveal a crucial role of BCAT1 in metabolic remodeling and inflammatory regulation, which indicates that BCAT1 could be used as a target for diabetic retinopathy.

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.
