Project description:Analysis of the effect of glutamine starvation in mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) with and without Btg1 at gene expression level. The hypothesis tested in the present study was that loss of Btg1 affect the expression of stress-response genes. Results provide important information of the differentially expressed genes regulated by Btg1 upon glutamine deprivation, explaining the survival advantage of tumor cells harboring Btg1 loss under cellular stress condition.

Project description:We report the direct target genes of ATF4 and CHOP in response to endoplasim reticulum stress through next generation sequencing. By obtaining genowide sequence from chromatin immunoprecipitated DNA with anti-CHOP and anit-ATF4, we identified direct binding sites of ATF4 and CHOP in promoter regions of their target genes in mouse embrynic fibroblasts (MEFs) in response to ER stress. In addition, we obtained list of genes which are differentially regulated in Atf4 or Chop-deficient MEFs compared to the wild-type MEFs in response to ER stress. We found that genes related with unfolded protein response and protein synthesis were directly regulated by ATF4 and CHOP. Through this observation, we conclude that main role of ATF4 and CHOP as transcription factors is to enhance mRNA translation in respone to ER stress. This sutdy provide new insight of genetic network of ATF4 and CHOP in response to ER stress. For ChIP-seq, Chop+/+ and Chop-/- MEFs were treated with Tunicamycin, N-glycosylation inhibitor, to induce ER stress for 8hr. Atf4+/+ and Atf4-/- MEFs were also treated same condition for ChIP-Seq. For mRNA-seq, wild-type, Atf4-/-, and Chop-/- MEFs were treated with tunicamycin for 8hr for experiments.

Project description:To further development of our miRNA expression approach to ER stress, we have employed miRNA microarray expression profiling as a discovery platform to identify ER stress-responsible ones. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) deficient in a ER stress mediator ATF4 were treated with tunicamycin for 12 or 24 hrs. miRNAs responsible for tunicamycin-treatment for 12hrs in ATF4-dependent manner were extracted. Among them, expression of three miRNAs (miR-193b, miR-423-5p, miR-199a-3p) was quantified in the RNA samples from the same as the microarray by real-time PCR. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) deficient in a ER stress mediator ATF4 were treated with 2ug/mL tunicamycin for 12 or 24 hrs. Two independent experiments were performed at each time (untreated, 12 or 24 hrs). miRNAs responsible for tunicamycin-treatment for 12hrs in ATF4-dependent manner were extracted.

Project description:Cancer cells heavily depend on the amino acid, glutamine, to meet the demands associated with growth and proliferation. Due to its rapid consumption, cancer cells frequently undergo glutamine starvation in vivo. We and others have shown that p53 is a critical regulator in metabolic stress resistance. To better understand the molecular mechanisms by which p53 activation promotes cancer cell adaptation to glutamine deprivation, we identified p53-dependent genes that are induced upon glutamine deprivation using RNA-seq analysis. We show that Slc7a3, an arginine transporter, is significantly induced by p53. We show the concomitant rise in intracellular arginine levels following glutamine deprivation is dependent on p53. The influx of arginine has minimal effect on known metabolic pathways upon glutamine deprivation. Instead, we found arginine serves as an effector for mTORC1 activation to promote in vitro and in vivo cell growth in response to glutamine starvation. Therefore, we identify a novel p53-inducible gene that contributes to the metabolic stress response.

Project description:Numerous mechanisms to support cells under conditions of transient nutrient starvation have been described. The tumor suppressor protein p53 can contribute to the adaptation of cells to metabolic stress through various mechanisms that may help cancer cell survival in nutrient limiting conditions. We show here that p53 helps cancer cells to survive glutamine starvation by promoting the expression of SLC1A3, an aspartate/glutamate transporter that allows the utilization of aspartate to support cells in the absence of extracellular glutamine. Under glutamine deprivation, SLC1A3 expression maintains electron transport chain and tricarboxylic acid cycle activity, promoting de novo glutamate, glutamine and nucleotide synthesis to rescue cell viability. Tumor cells with high levels of SLC1A3 expression are resistant to glutamine starvation and SLC1A3 depletion retards the growth of these cells in vitro and in vivo, suggesting a therapeutic potential for SLC1A3 inhibition.

Project description:There are two major subtype of cells in breast cancer. These cancer cells response differently to glutamine deprivation, here we use one luminal type of breast cancer cell (MCF7) and one basal type of breast cancer cell (MDAMB231) to compare the gene expression differences of these two types of cancer cells in glutamine deprivation. Many cancer cells depend on glutamine for survival and oncogenic transformation. Although targeting glutamine metabolism is proposed as novel therapies, their heterogeneity among different tumors is unknown. Here, we found only basal-type, but not luminal-type breast cancer cells, exhibited phenotypes of glutamine dependency and may benefit from glutamine-targeting therapeutics. The glutamine independence of luminal-type cells is caused by the specific expression of glutamine synthetase (GS), a pattern recapitulated in luminal breast cancers. The co-culture of luminal cells partially rescued the basal cells under glutamine deprivation, suggesting glutamine symbiosis. The luminal-specific expression of GS is directly induced GATA3 and down-regulates glutaminase expression to maintain subtype-specific glutamine metabolism. Collectively, these data indicate the distinct glutamine phenotypes among breast cells and enable the rational design of glutamine targeted therapies.

Project description:The conditions of the tumor microenvironment, such as nutrient starvation, play critical roles in cancer progression. However, the role of glutamine deprivation in cancer progression is not studied as extensively as that of hypoxia. Here, we show that glutamine starvation triggered down-regulation of PCYT2 by stimulating accumulation of PEtn. Interestingly, glutamine upregulated series of glutamine-responsive genes, not only PCYT2. Furthermore, glutamine-responsive genes were associated with overall survival of cancer patients. Thus, our findings show that glutamine responsive genes such as PCYT2 are key for progression of cancer cells, partly protecting cancer cells to glutamine starvation.

Project description:Corynebacterium glutamicum, a gram-positive soil bacterium used for the industrial production of amino acids such as L-glutamate and L-lysine, is able to use a number of different nitrogen sources, such as ammonium, urea, or creatinine. In this communication, we show that L-glutamine serves as an excellent nitrogen source for C. glutamicum and allows similar growth rates in glucose minimal medium as ammonium. A transcriptome comparison revealed a strong induction of the nitrogen starvation response when glutamine was used as nitrogen source. Subsequent growth experiments with a variety of mutants defective in nitrogen metabolism showed that glutamate synthase is crucial for glutamine utilization, while a putative glutaminase is dispensable under the experimental conditions used. The fact that the glutamate synthase encoding gltBD operon is under strict nitrogen control explains the necessity for induction of the nitrogen starvation response. The paradox situation that the nitrogen starvation response is induced although intracellular L-glutamine levels are high has implications on nitrogen sensing. In contrast to other gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria such as Bacillus subtilis, Salmonella typhimurium, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, a drop in glutamine concentration obviously does not serve as a nitrogen starvation signal in C. glutamicum. Three biological replicates were performed. To analyse how L-glutamine influences global gene expression when used as sole nitrogen source instead of ammonium, DNA microarray analyses were performed. For this purpose RNA was isolated from exponentially growing cells cultivated in CgXII medium containing glucose as carbon source and either L-glutamine or ammonium sulphate as nitrogen source.

Project description:Glutamine addiction represents a metabolic vulnerability of cancer cells although effective therapeutic targeting of the pathways involved remains to be realized. Here, we disclose the critical role of IFRD1 (interferon-related developmental regulator 1) in the adaptive survival of hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HCC) during glutamine starvation. The induction and translocation of IFRD1 to the endoplasmic reticulum inhibits autophagy by promoting proteasomal degradation of the key autophagy regulator ATG14 in a TRIM21-dependent manner. On the contrary, enforced IFRD1 loss increases autophagy flux leading to cell death. This effect is largely realized through the autophagy-dependent degradation of histone H1.0 causing globally enhanced chromatin accessibility associated with unchecked increases in ribosome and protein biosynthesis . This in turn leads to metabolic exhaustion and death under glutamine starvation. Practically, IFRD1 depletion in preclinical HCC models potentiates glutamine limiting strategies including synergizing with the glutaminase-1 selective inhibitor CB-839. Thus, IFRD1 supports the adaptive survival of cancer cells under glutamine starvation, with potential as a therapeutic target in anti-cancer applications.
