Project description:F1Fo ATP synthase is present in all organisms and is predominantly located on the inner membrane of mitochondria in eukaryotic cells. The present study demonstrated that ATP synthase and electron transport chain complexes were ectopically expressed on the surface of breast cancer cells and could serve as a potent anticancer target. We investigated the anticancer effects of the ATP synthase inhibitor citreoviridin on breast cancer cells through proteomic approaches and revealed that differentially expressed proteins in cell cycle regulation and in the unfolded protein response were functionally enriched. We showed that citreoviridin triggered PERK-mediated eIF2α phosphorylation, which in turn attenuated general protein synthesis and led to cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase. We further showed that the combination of citreoviridin and the 26S proteasome inhibitor bortezomib could improve the anticancer activity by enhancing ER stress, by ameliorating citreoviridin-caused cyclin D3 compensation, and by contributing to CDK1 deactivation and PCNA downregulation. More interestingly, the combined treatment triggered lethality through unusual non-apoptotic caspase- and autophagy-independent cell death with a cytoplasmic vacuolization phenotype. The results imply that by boosting ER stress, the combination of ATP synthase inhibitor citreoviridin and 26S proteasome inhibitor bortezomib could potentially be an effective therapeutic strategy against breast cancer.

Project description:We previously demonstrated the immunostimulatory efficacy of Pseudomonas aeruginosa flagellar hook protein FlgE on epithelial cells, presumably via ectopic ATP synthases or subunits ATP5B on cell membranes. Here, by using recombinant wild-type FlgE, mutant FlgE (FlgEM; bearing mutations on two postulated critical epitopes B and F), and a FlgE analog in pull-down assay, Western blotting, flow cytometry, and ELISA, actual bindings of FlgE proteins or epitope B/F peptides with ATP5B were all confirmed. Upon treatment with FlgE proteins, human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and SV40-immortalized murine vascular endothelial cells manifested decreased proliferation, migration, tube formation, and surface ATP production and increased apoptosis. FlgE proteins increased the permeability of HUVEC monolayers to soluble large molecules like dextran as well as to neutrophils. Immunofluorescence showed that FlgE induced clustering and conjugation of F-actin in HUVECs. In Balb/c-nude mice bearing transplanted solid tumors, FlgE proteins induced a microvascular hyperpermeability in pinna, lungs, tumor mass, and abdominal cavity. All effects observed in FlgE proteins were partially or completely impaired in FlgEM proteins or blocked by pretreatment with anti-ATP5B antibodies. Upon coculture of bacteria with HUVECs, FlgE was detectable in the membrane and cytosol of HUVECs. It was concluded that FlgE posed a pathogenic ligand of ectopic ATP5B that, upon FlgE-ATP5B coupling on endothelial cells, modulated properties and increased permeability of endothelial layers both in vitro and in vivo. The FlgE-ectopic ATP5B duo might contribute to the pathogenesis of disorders associated with bacterial infection or ectopic ATP5B-positive cells.

Project description:Ectopic ATP synthase is a functional onco-protein increases cell proliferation when transported to plasma membrane of cancer cells. Our previous study performed large scale gene silencing screening indicated ER and mitochondrial transport pathways may lead to ectopic ATP synthase expression. Silencing dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1), mitofusin-1 (Mfn1) and Parkin affected ectopic ATP synthases expression. However, the underlying trafficking mechanism is poorly understood. Here, we analyzed our membrane and mitochondrial proteome of lung cancer A549 cells and found that both nuclear-encoded ATP synthase subunits and mitochondrial-encoded components-ATP6 translocated to cell surface, indicating that ATP synthase subunits assembled in mitochondria. Furthermore, serum starvation enhanced ATP synthase translocation to plasma membrane, Mdivi-1, a chemical inhibitor of the mitochondrial fission protein Drp1, rescued the phenomena. Additionally, image quantification of mitochondria, showing that mitochondrial fission preference cells expressed more eATP synthase. Therefore, we proposed that eATP synthase trafficking may be related to mitochondrial dynamics. Additionally, ICC and flow cytometry revealed the expression of a critical transcription factor associated with high-risk neuroblastoma, MYCN, correlated with eATP synthase expression. To better understand whether MYCN mediated mitochondrial fission and affected ATP synthase trafficking, we first analyzed MYCN ChIP-sequencing data and found Drp1, Mfns and Parkin possessed the consensus DNA-binding motif of MYCN. Further high-resolution image analysis showed higher mitochondrial fission and eATP synthase expression in MYCN-amplified neuroblastoma. Last, silencing MYCN reduced the fission level by detecting DRP1. In summary, we suggest that trafficking of ectopic ATP synthase may via mitochondrial dynamics.

Project description:Ectopic adenosine triphosphate synthase (eATP synthase) was found on the cell surface to generate extracellular ATP in various cancer cells. Recently using proteomics approach, several reports identified ATP synthase in extracellular vesicles (EVs) which are important in cell-cell communications. However, the functions of ATP synthase in EVs are still unclear. Here we increased the expression of eATP synthase on the plasma membrane of lung cancer A549 cells via 0.1% FBS starvation and collected EVs including microvesicles and exosomes from the culture medium using serial centrifugation. Both of them were assuredly isolated and confirmed by transmission electron microscopy, nano tracking analysis, and specific EV markers. We also used western blot to demonstrate the presence of ATP synthase in EVs. Besides, dot blot experiment revealed that the F1 portion faced towards extracellular space using anti-ATP beta subunit antibody. Under starvation, the expression of eATP synthase was enhanced on cell surface and exosomes as well as increased EV secretion. To further investigate the functions, we first elucidated whether eATP synthase on EV membrane produced ATP by ATP luciferase analysis. Our data showed that there was no significant ATP production. Moreover, we performed proteomic analysis using dimethyl labeling and LC-MS/MS to compare the difference between EVs released by A549 control and starvation. We identified a total of 1504 and 869 proteins in microvesicles and exosomes, respectively. Using 1.5- and 0.67-fold change as the thresholds, there were 171 and 46 differential expressed proteins in microvesicles and exosomes, respectively. Seven ATP synthase subunits in microvesicles and five in exosomes were identified. The proteomic data were further analyzed using gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) within the C2 (curated gene sets) subclasses and setting 0.25 as FDR cutoff to find out biological functions related to eATP synthase. Among these up-regulated terms, metabolism, cell cycle and apoptosis were enriched, which indicating that starvation influences cell behavior. Additionally, the immune response is upregulated strikingly in exosomes within C2 gene set. One of these immune response pathways, MHC-1 antigen presentation, was previously proved to interact with eATP synthase which could be recognized by several immune cells.

Project description:AbstarctEctopic ATP synthase on the plasma membrane (eATP synthase) has been found in various cancer types and is a potential target for cancer therapy. However, whether it provides a functional role in tumor progression remains unclear. Here, quantitative proteomics reveals that cancer cells under starvation stress express higher eATP synthase and enhance the production of extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are vital regulators within the tumor microenvironment. Further results show that eATP synthase generates extracellular ATP to stimulate EV secretion by enhancing P2X7 receptor-triggered Ca2+ influx. Surprisingly, eATP synthase is also located on the surface of tumor-secreted EVs. The EVs-surface eATP synthase increases the uptake of tumor-secreted EVs in Jurkat T-cells via association with Fyn, a plasma membrane protein found in immune cells. The eATP synthase-coated EVs uptake subsequently represses the proliferation and cytokine secretion of Jurkat T-cells. This study clarifies the role of eATP synthase on EV secretion and its influence on immune cells.

Project description:ATP synthase is crucial for ATP synthesis in living cells. Recently, ATP synthase was found not only in mitochondria but also on the extracellular surface, named as ectopic ATP synthase (ecto-ATP synthase). ATP synthase inhibitor is a potential drug candidate to fight cancer by blocking the ecto-ATP synthase of cells. In this study, we applied dynamic phosphoproteomics to elucidate the molecular responses to ecto-ATP synthase blockade.

Project description:Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase is located on the inner membrane of mitochondria which generate ATP for various cellular processes. Our previous studies showed that ATP synthases existed on plasma membrane of several types of cancer cells, which was defined as ectopic ATP synthase. However, the trafficking pathway of ectopic ATP synthase is still unclear. To investigate how ATP synthase subunits are involved in the trafficking process, we performed shot-gun proteomic analysis to reveal the plasma membrane proteins of A549 lung cancer cells and identified four subunits of ATP synthases, ATP5A1, ATP5B, ATP5H, and MT-ATP6. With the results of gene set enrichment analysis, we inferred that ectopic ATP synthase subunits are assembled as complex consistently and then translocated to cell surface through the trafficking of mitochondria. On the other hand, microtubules are involved in many intracellular transport. During protein trafficking, mitochondria and vesicles are transported to their final destination along microtubules by motor proteins such as kinesins and dyneins. To explore the function of microtubules in the trafficking of ectopic ATP synthase, we treated MCF-7 breast and A549 lung cancer cells with nocodazole, a microtubule depolymerization agent, and found that the expression level of ectopic ATP synthase decreased using both immunocytochemistry and flow cytometry. Besides, since kinesin family member 5B (KIF5B) is an important motor proteins involved in the transport of mitochondria, we further performed the immunoprecipitation of KIF5B followed by liquid chromatography−tandem mass spectrometry (LC−MS/MS). The result revealed that one of the mitochondrial outer membrane proteins, dynamin-1 like proteins (Drp1), was able to associate to KIF5B. From our recent research results and other reports show that Drp1 is a mediator of mitochondrial dynamic through regulation of mitochondrial fission. Taken together, our findings suggested that Drp1-KIF5B complex-mediated mitochondrial trafficking along microtubules may play a critical role in the transport of ectopic ATP synthase

Project description:In this study, we synthesized a Zr-89-labeled anti-adenosine triphosphate synthase monoclonal antibody (ATPS mAb) for applications in immuno-positron emission tomography (PET) and evaluated its feasibility for angiogenesis imaging. The cellular uptake of Zr-89 ATPS mAb was measured after treatment of cancer cell lines in vitro, and its biodistribution was evaluated at 4, 24 and 48 h in vivo in mice bearing xenografts. PET images were acquired at 4, 24, 48, and 96 h after Zr-89 ATPS mAb administration. Tumor angiogenesis was analyzed using anti-CD31 immunofluorescence staining. The cellular uptake of Zr-89 ATPS mAb increased over time in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells but did not increase in PC3 prostate cancer cells. The tumor uptake of Zr-89 ATPS mAb at 24 h was 9.4 ± 0.9% ID/g for MDA-Mb-231 cells and was 3.8 ± 0.6% ID/g for PC3 cells (p = 0.004). Zr-89 ATPS mAb uptake in MDA-MB-231 xenografts was inhibited by the administration of cold ATPS mAb (4.4 ± 0.5% ID/g, p = 0.011). Zr-89 ATPS mAb uptake could be visualized by PET for up to 96 h in MDA-MB-231 tumors. In contrast, there was no distinct tumor uptake detected by PET in the PC3 xenograft model. CD31-positive tumor vessels were abundant in MDA-MB-231 tumors, whereas they were scarcely detected in PC3 tumors. In conclusion, ATPS mAb was successfully labeled with Zr-89, which could be used for immuno-PET imaging targeting tumor angiogenesis.

Project description:ATP synthase is present on the plasma membrane of several types of cancer cells. Citreoviridin, an ATP synthase inhibitor, selectively suppresses the proliferation and growth of lung cancer without affecting normal cells. However, the global effects of targeting ectopic ATP synthase in vivo have not been well defined. In this study, we performed quantitative proteomic analysis using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation (iTRAQ) and provided a comprehensive insight into the complicated regulation by citreoviridin in a lung cancer xenograft model. With high reproducibility of the quantitation, we obtained quantitative proteomic profiling with 2,659 proteins identified. Bioinformatics analysis of the 141 differentially expressed proteins selected by their relative abundance revealed that citreoviridin induces alterations in the expression of glucose metabolism-related enzymes in lung cancer. The up-regulation of enzymes involved in gluconeogenesis and storage of glucose indicated that citreoviridin may reduce the glycolytic intermediates for macromolecule synthesis and inhibit cell proliferation. Using comprehensive proteomics, the results identify metabolic aspects that help explain the antitumorigenic effect of citreoviridin in lung cancer, which may lead to a better understanding of the links between metabolism and tumorigenesis in cancer therapy.
