ID2 promotes survival of glioblastoma cells during metabolic stress by regulating mitochondrial function.

ABSTRACT: Tumor cells proliferate in cellular environments characterized by a lack of optimal tissue organization resulting oftentimes in compromised cellular metabolism affecting nutrition, respiration, and energetics. The response of tumor cells to adverse environmental conditions is a key feature affecting their pathogenicity. We found that inhibitor of DNA binding 2 (ID2) expression levels significantly correlate with the ability of glioblastoma (GBM)-derived cell lines to survive glucose deprivation. ID2 suppressed mitochondrial oxidative respiration and mitochondrial ATP production by regulating the function of mitochondrial electron transport chain (mETC) complexes, resulting in reduced superoxide and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production from mitochondria. ID2 suppression of ROS production reduced mitochondrial damage and enhanced tumor cell survival during glucose deprivation. Bioinformatics analysis of GBM gene expression data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database revealed that expression of ID2 mRNA is unique among ID gene family members in correlating with the expression of nuclear genes involved in mitochondrial energy metabolism and assembly of mETC. Our data indicate that the expression level of ID2 in GBM cells can predict the sensitivity of GBM-derived tumor cells to decreased glucose levels. Low levels of ID2 expression in human GBM tissues may identify a clinical group in which metabolic targeting of glycolytic pathways can be expected to have the greatest therapeutic efficacy.

Project description:ObjectiveIn type 2 diabetes (T2D), oxidative stress contributes to the dysfunction and loss of pancreatic β cells. A highly conserved feature of the cellular response to stress is the regulation of mRNA translation; however, the genes regulated at the level of translation are often overlooked due to the convenience of RNA sequencing technologies. Our goal is to investigate translational regulation in β cells as a means to uncover novel factors and pathways pertinent to cellular adaptation and survival during T2D-associated conditions.MethodsTranslating ribosome affinity purification (TRAP) followed by RNA-seq or RT-qPCR was used to identify changes in the ribosome occupancy of mRNAs in Min6 cells. Gene depletion studies used lentiviral delivery of shRNAs to primary mouse islets or CRISPR-Cas9 to Min6 cells. Oxidative stress and apoptosis were measured in primary islets using cell-permeable dyes with fluorescence readouts of oxidation and activated cleaved caspase-3 and-7, respectively. Gene expression was assessed by RNA-seq, RT-qPCR, and western blot. ChIP-qPCR was used to determine chromatin enrichment.ResultsTRAP-seq in a PDX1-deficiency model of β cell dysfunction uncovered a cohort of genes regulated at the level of mRNA translation, including the transcription factor JUND. Using a panel of diabetes-associated stressors, JUND was found to be upregulated in mouse islets cultured with high concentrations of glucose and free fatty acid, but not after treatment with hydrogen peroxide or thapsigargin. This induction of JUND could be attributed to increased mRNA translation. JUND was also upregulated in islets from diabetic db/db mice and in human islets treated with high glucose and free fatty acid. Depletion of JUND in primary islets reduced oxidative stress and apoptosis in β cells during metabolic stress. Transcriptome assessment identified a cohort of genes, including pro-oxidant and pro-inflammatory genes, regulated by JUND that are commonly dysregulated in models of β cell dysfunction, consistent with a maladaptive role for JUND in islets.ConclusionsA translation-centric approach uncovered JUND as a stress-responsive factor in β cells that contributes to redox imbalance and apoptosis during pathophysiologically relevant stress.
