Elevation of adenylate energy charge by angiopoietin-like 4 enhances epithelial-mesenchymal transition by inducing 14-3-3γ expression.

ABSTRACT: Metastatic cancer cells acquire energy-intensive processes including increased invasiveness and chemoresistance. However, how the energy demand is met and the molecular drivers that coordinate an increase in cellular metabolic activity to drive epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), the first step of metastasis, remain unclear. Using different in vitro and in vivo EMT models with clinical patient's samples, we showed that EMT is an energy-demanding process fueled by glucose metabolism-derived adenosine triphosphate (ATP). We identified angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) as a key player that coordinates an increase in cellular energy flux crucial for EMT via an ANGPTL4/14-3-3γ signaling axis. This augmented cellular metabolic activity enhanced metastasis. ANGPTL4 knockdown suppresses an adenylate energy charge elevation, delaying EMT. Using an in vivo dual-inducible EMT model, we found that ANGPTL4 deficiency reduces cancer metastasis to the lung and liver. Unbiased kinase inhibitor screens and Ingenuity Pathway Analysis revealed that ANGPTL4 regulates the expression of 14-3-3γ adaptor protein via the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/AKT and mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling pathways that culminate to activation of transcription factors, CREB, cFOS and STAT3. Using a different mode of action, as compared with protein kinases, the ANGPTL4/14-3-3γ signaling axis consolidated cellular bioenergetics and stabilized critical EMT proteins to coordinate energy demand and enhanced EMT competency and metastasis, through interaction with specific phosphorylation signals on target proteins.

Minimum free energy path of ligand-induced transition in adenylate kinase.

Project description:Large-scale conformational changes in proteins involve barrier-crossing transitions on the complex free energy surfaces of high-dimensional space. Such rare events cannot be efficiently captured by conventional molecular dynamics simulations. Here we show that, by combining the on-the-fly string method and the multi-state Bennett acceptance ratio (MBAR) method, the free energy profile of a conformational transition pathway in Escherichia coli adenylate kinase can be characterized in a high-dimensional space. The minimum free energy paths of the conformational transitions in adenylate kinase were explored by the on-the-fly string method in 20-dimensional space spanned by the 20 largest-amplitude principal modes, and the free energy and various kinds of average physical quantities along the pathways were successfully evaluated by the MBAR method. The influence of ligand binding on the pathways was characterized in terms of rigid-body motions of the lid-shaped ATP-binding domain (LID) and the AMP-binding (AMPbd) domains. It was found that the LID domain was able to partially close without the ligand, while the closure of the AMPbd domain required the ligand binding. The transition state ensemble of the ligand bound form was identified as those structures characterized by highly specific binding of the ligand to the AMPbd domain, and was validated by unrestrained MD simulations. It was also found that complete closure of the LID domain required the dehydration of solvents around the P-loop. These findings suggest that the interplay of the two different types of domain motion is an essential feature in the conformational transition of the enzyme.

The energy profiles of atomic conformational transition intermediates of adenylate kinase.

Project description:The elastic network interpolation (ENI) (Kim et al., Biophys J 2002;83:1620-1630) is a computationally efficient and physically realistic method to generate conformational transition intermediates between two forms of a given protein. However it can be asked whether these calculated conformations provide good representatives for these intermediates. In this study, we use ENI to generate conformational transition intermediates between the open form and the closed form of adenylate kinase (AK). Based on C(alpha)-only intermediates, we construct atomic intermediates by grafting all the atoms of known AK structures onto the C(alpha) atoms and then perform CHARMM energy minimization to remove steric conflicts and optimize these intermediate structures. We compare the energy profiles for all intermediates from both the CHARMM force-field and from knowledge-based energy functions. We find that the CHARMM energies can successfully capture the two energy minima representing the open AK and closed AK forms, while the energies computed from the knowledge-based energy functions can detect the local energy minimum representing the closed AK form and show some general features of the transition pathway with a somewhat similar energy profile as the CHARMM energies. The combinatorial extension structural alignment (Shindyalov et al., 1998;11:739-747) and the k-means clustering algorithm are then used to show that known PDB structures closely resemble computed intermediates along the transition pathway.

Hypoxia and the energy charge of the cerebral adenylate pool.

Project description:A brief period of anoxia in vivo causes a transitory decrease in the size of the adenylate pool in the rat brain. This is probably caused by feedback inhibition by AMP of adenine nucleotide synthesis. Exposing rats to various degrees of hypoxia suggests that the sensitivity of the brain to lack of O(2) results from the brain's limited ability to maintain an adequate energy charge in unfavourable circumstances.

Regulation of rat heart cytosol 5'-nucleotidase by adenylate energy charge.

Project description:A 5'-nucleotidase (EC 3.1.3.5) was highly purified from the soluble fraction of rat heart. The preparation appeared homogeneous by the criterion of polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis. The enzyme was activated by ATP and ADP, and inhibited by Pi. When AMP was used as substrate, the velocity/substrate-concentration plot was sigmoidal. ATP or ADP changed the plot to hyperbolic and decreased S0.5. Pi increased both the sigmoidicity of the plot and S0.5. When IMP was used as substrate, the velocity/substrate plot was hyperbolic. ATP or ADP decreased Km and increased V. Pi changed the plot to sigmoidal and increased S0.5. Within the range of adenylate energy charge observed in surviving mammalian cells (0.7-0.9), the rate of AMP-hydrolysing activity catalysed by the 5'-nucleotidase increased sharply with decreasing energy charge. The highest activity was observed at an energy-charge value of about 0.6. The response was also observed in the presence of Pi. No change in IMP-hydrolysing activity was observed in the physiological range of adenylate energy charge, but in the presence of Pi the activity gradually increased with increasing energy charge. These results suggest the possibility that this enzyme participates in production of adenosine, a vasodilator, during hypoxia and in removal of IMP, which accumulates during the hypoxia, in the heart.

Elevation of CXCL1 indicates poor prognosis and radioresistance by inducing mesenchymal transition in glioblastoma.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Glioblastoma (GBM) is identified as a lethal malignant tumor derived from the nervous system. Despite the standard clinical strategy including maximum surgical resection, temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, the median survival of GBM patients remains <15 months. Accumulating evidence indicates that rapid-acquired radioresistance is one of the most common reasons for GBM recurrence. Therefore, developing novel therapeutic targets for radioresistant GBM could yield long-term cures. AIMS:To investigate the functional role of CXCL1 in the acquired radioresistance and identify the molecular pathway correlated to CXCL1. RESULTS:In this study, we identified that CXCL1 is highly expressed in GBM and the elevation of CXCL1 is involved in radioresistance and poor prognosis in GBM patients. Additionally, silencing CXCL1 attenuated the proliferation and radioresistance of GBM cells. Furthermore, we demonstrated that CXCL1-overexpression induced radioresistance through mesenchymal transition of GBM via the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-?B) signaling. CONCLUSION:CXCL1 was highly enriched in GBM and positively correlated with poor prognosis in GBM patients. Additionally, elevated CXCL1 induced radioresistance in GBM through regulation of NF-?B signaling by promoting mesenchymal transition in GBM.

Induction of activation-induced cytidine deaminase-targeting adaptor 14-3-3γ is mediated by NF-κB-dependent recruitment of CFP1 to the 5'-CpG-3'-rich 14-3-3γ promoter and is sustained by E2A.

Project description:Class switch DNA recombination (CSR) crucially diversifies Ab biologic effector functions. 14-3-3γ specifically binds to the 5'-AGCT-3' repeats in the IgH locus switch (S) regions. By interacting directly with the C-terminal region of activation-induced cytidine deaminase (AID), 14-3-3γ targets this enzyme to S regions to mediate CSR. In this study, we showed that 14-3-3γ was expressed in germinal center B cells in vivo and induced in B cells by T-dependent and T-independent primary CSR-inducing stimuli in vitro in humans and mice. Induction of 14-3-3γ was rapid, peaking within 3 h of stimulation by LPSs, and sustained over the course of AID and CSR induction. It was dependent on recruitment of NF-κB to the 14-3-3γ gene promoter. The NF-κB recruitment enhanced the occupancy of the CpG island within the 14-3-3γ promoter by CFP1, a component of the COMPASS histone methyltransferase complex, and promoter-specific enrichment of histone 3 lysine 4 trimethylation (H3K4me3), which is indicative of open chromatin state and marks transcription-competent promoters. NF-κB also potentiated the binding of B cell lineage-specific factor E2A to an E-box motif located immediately downstream of the two closely-spaced transcription start sites for sustained 14-3-3γ expression and CSR induction. Thus, 14-3-3γ induction in CSR is enabled by the CFP1-mediated H3K4me3 enrichment in the promoter, dependent on NF-κB and sustained by E2A.

Oncogene FOXK1 enhances invasion of colorectal carcinoma by inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition.

Project description:Transcriptional factor FOXK1 is a member of the FOX family, involved in the cell growth and metabolism. The higher expression of FOXK1 leads to a variety of diseases and may play an important role in the development of various tumors. However, the role of FOXK1 in the progression of colorectal cancer (CRC) remains unknown. We demonstrated that FOXK1 was overexpressed in 16 types of solid tumor tissues via tissue multi-array (TMA). We found that FOXK1 induced elevated expressions and transactivities of five major oncogenes in CRC. Moreover, the elevated expression of FOXK1 was showed to be correlated with tumor progression and was a significant predictor of overall survival in CRC patients. Furthermore, it was showed that the depletion of FOXK1 expression could inhibit the migratory and invasive abilities of CRC cells. In contrast, ectopic expression of FOXK1 elicited the opposite effects on these phenotypes in vitro. FOXK1 promoted tumor metastasis through EMT program induction. In addition, TGF-?1 induced FOXK1 expression in a time-dependent pattern and the knockdown of FOXK1 inhibited TGF-?1-induced EMT. In vivo, higher expression of FOXK1 promotes CRC cell invasion and metastasis, and induces EMT in CRC as well. Alltogether, it was concluded that the higher expression of FOXK1 could indicate a poor prognosis in CRC patients since that FOXK1 induces EMT and promotes CRC cell invasion in vitro and in vivo.

NSD2 Overexpression in Myeloma Enhances Dependency on Mitochondrial High Energy Phosphate Transport Facilitated by Adenylate Kinase 2 [AS_RS]

Project description:Chromosomal translocation t(4;14), a driver of NSD2 overexpression, remains a negative prognostic factor in multiple myeloma (MM). A genome-wide CRISPR screen in MM cells identified adenylate kinase 2 (AK2) as an NSD2-driven vulnerability. AK2 depletion in t(4;14) MM cells inhibited cell growth in vitro and in vivo, impaired protein folding in the ER and increased sensitivity to proteasome inhibition, consistent with a defect in shuttling ATP from the mitochondria. Moreover, AK2 suppression decreased intracellular NADP(H) critical for thioredoxin reduction, which is key for deoxyribonucleotides (dNTP) synthesis, leading to DNA replication stress and apoptosis. The increased dependence on AK2 was attributed to insufficient creatine production due to NSD2-mediated diversion of one-carbon metabolism to the epigenome and away from S-adenosylmethionine dependent creatine synthesis. Correspondingly, supplementation with creatine restored NADP(H) levels and rescued AK2-deficient cells from apoptosis. These findings revealed a novel metabolic susceptibility and promising therapeutic strategy for targeting t(4;14) MM.
