Project description:we examined if the activation of the anabolic program mediated by the activation of the mTorc1 complex in the fasted state could suppress the robust catabolic programing and enhanced Pparα transcriptional of mice with a liver specific defect in mitochondrial long chain fatty acid oxidation (Cpt2L-/- mice). We found that the activation of mTorc1 in the fasted state was not sufficient to repress Pparα responsive genes or ketogenesis.

Project description:The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is often referred to as a master regulator of the cellular metabolism that can integrate the growth factor and nutrient signaling. Fasting suppresses hepatic mTORC1 activity via the activity of the tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a negative regulator of mTORC1, to suppress anabolic metabolism. The loss of TSC1 in the liver locks the liver in a constitutively anabolic state even during fasting, which was suggested to regulate peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) signaling and ketogenesis, but the molecular determinants of this regulation are unknown. Here, we examined if the activation of the mTORC1 complex in mice by the liver-specific deletion of TSC1 (TSC1L-/-) is sufficient to suppress PPARα signaling and therefore ketogenesis in the fasted state. We found that the activation of mTORC1 in the fasted state is not sufficient to repress PPARα-responsive genes or ketogenesis. Furthermore, we examined whether the activation of the anabolic program mediated by mTORC1 complex activation in the fasted state could suppress the robust catabolic programming and enhanced PPARα transcriptional response of mice with a liver-specific defect in mitochondrial long-chain fatty acid oxidation using carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (Cpt2L-/-) mice. We generated Cpt2L-/-; Tsc1L-/- double-KO mice and showed that the activation of mTORC1 by deletion of TSC1 could not suppress the catabolic PPARα-mediated phenotype of Cpt2L-/- mice. These data demonstrate that the activation of mTORC1 by the deletion of TSC1 is not sufficient to suppress a PPARα transcriptional program or ketogenesis after fasting.

Project description:The clinical benefit of current mTOR inhibitors is limited, perhaps reflecting their intrinsic pharmacological profiles. Rapamycin analogs selectively inhibit mTORC1, but fail to suppress phosphorylation of the mTORC1 substrate 4EBP1, a translational repressor that is a key driver of oncogenic mTORC1 signaling. mTOR kinase active-site inhibitors fully suppress mTORC1 and phosphorylation of its substrates, but are active against mTORC2 and additional kinases, potentially contributing to tolerability limitations. The prototype bi-steric inhibitor RapaLink-1 exploits the selective mTORC1 interactions of rapamycin and the broad mTOR kinase inhibitory effects of an active-site inhibitor, through covalent linkage of the two pharmacophores to achieve complete mTORC1/2 inhibition. We demonstrate that the anti-proliferative activity of RapaLink-1 is dependent upon mTORC1 and suppression of 4EBP1 phosphorylation. Using a rational design strategy, we tuned the affinities of the rapamycin core and ATP-mimetic moieties to create novel bi-steric inhibitors with enhanced mTORC1 selectivity and potency against 4EBP1 phosphorylation. mTORC1-selective bi-steric compounds produced durable inhibition of 4EBP1 phosphorylation in vitro and in vivo, and drove tumor regressions at well-tolerated doses in xenograft models of breast cancer.

Project description:Ketone bodies, intermediates in energy metabolism and signaling, have attracted significant attention due to their role in health and disease. We performed around the clock study on ketone bodies and ketogenesis with mice on different diets. We found that caloric restriction, a dietary intervention that improves metabolism and longevity, induced high amplitude circadian rhythms in blood βOHB. The blood βOHB rhythms resulted from rhythmic ketogenesis in the liver controlled by the interaction between the circadian clock and PPAR transcriptional networks. This interaction results in transcriptional reprogramming of in beta-oxidation and ketogenesis enzymes. The reprogramming is impaired in circadian clock mutant mice. The circadian clock gated ketogenesis contributes to the diet impact on health and longevity.

Project description:The Hippo pathway downstream effectors YAP and TAZ display oncogenic potential via their transcriptional co-activator function, mediated primarily by binding to TEAD transcription factors. Many studies have focused on identifying YAP/TAZ-TEAD target genes, but their role in the regulation of protein synthesis has remained largely unexplored. Here we show that YAP activation is sufficient to overcome the global translation restriction of 5TOP-containing mRNAs, which is induced by serum deprivation and dependent on the inactivation of mTORC1. We found that YAP/TAZ repressed the expression of DDIT4, a negative regulator of mTORC1 whose expression is otherwise upregulated by serum deprivation. Forced expression of DDIT4 was sufficient to suppress translation and transformative potential of serum-unresponsive uveal melanoma cells, which harbor G protein mutations. Our findings highlight crosstalk between Hippo-YAP/TAZ and mTORC1 pathways in the regulation of translation and offer a new perspective towards understanding YAP/TAZ-driven malignancies.

Project description:Ketogenesis requires fatty acid flux from intrahepatic (lipid droplets) and extrahepatic (adipose tissue) lipid stores to hepatocyte mitochondria. However, whether inter-organelle contact sites regulate this process is unknown. Recent studies have revealed a role for Calsyntenin-3b (CLSTN3b), an endoplasmic reticulum-lipid droplet contact site protein, in the control of lipid utilization in adipose tissue. Here, we show that Clstn3b expression is induced in the liver by the nuclear receptor PPARa in settings of high lipid utilization, including fasting and ketogenic diet feeding. Hepatocyte-specific loss of CLSTN3b in mice impairs ketogenesis independent of changes in PPARa activation. Conversely, hepatic overexpression of CLSTN3b promotes ketogenesis in mice. Mechanistically, CLSTN3b affects LD-mitochondria crosstalk, as evidenced by changes in fatty acid oxidation, lipolysis-dependent mitochondrial respiration, and the mitochondrial integrated stress response. These findings define a function for CLSTN3b-dependent membrane contacts in hepatic lipid utilization and ketogenesis.

Project description:Testicular aging commonly leads to testosterone deficiency and impaired spermatogenesis, yet the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Here, a comprehensive analysis of senescence landscapes in mice testes during aging revealed that the Leydig cells (LCs) are particularly vulnerable to aging processes. Single-cell RNA sequencing identified the expression of Hmgcs2 (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthetase 2), the gene encoding the rate-limiting enzyme of ketogenesis, decreased significantly in LCs from aged mice. Additionally, the concentrations of ketone bodies β-hydroxybutyric acid (BHB) and acetoacetic acid (AcAc) in the young testes were substantially higher than that in serum, but significantly diminished in aged testes. Silencing of Hmgcs2 in young LCs resulted in decreased ketone body production, which in turn drove LCs senescence and accelerated testicular aging. Mechanistically, BHB acted as an endogenous inhibitor of histone deacetylase 1 to upregulate the expression of Foxo3a by promoting histone acetylation, thereby mitigating LCs senescence and promoting testosterone production. Consistently, enhanced ketogenesis by genetic manipulation or oral BHB supplementation alleviated LCs senescence and ameliorated testicular aging in aged mice. These findings highlight defective ketogenesis as a pivotal factor in testicular aging, suggesting novel therapeutic avenues for addressing age-related testicular dysfunction.
