Mevalonate Metabolism fuels pro-inflammatory function of Vd2 T cells

ABSTRACT: Mevalonate metabolism is essential for proper functioning of eukaryotic cells. Widely prescribed drugs, like statins and bisphosphonates, inhibit specific enzymes in the mevalonate pathway and modulate immune responses. Intermediate metabolites of the pathway activate innate-like Vd2 T cells, while bisphosphonates effectively expand these cells for potential therapeutic use. Yet, the role of the mevalonate metabolism in Vd2 T cells is poorly defined. We show that in vitro and in vivo inhibition of the mevalonate metabolism results in compromised cytokine production and cytotoxic activity of Vd2 T cells. Impaired Vd2 T cell function is accompanied by global transcriptome changes. Protein prenylation and kinome analysis unraveled dysregulated signaling pathways as the leading cause of the reduced effector function of Vd2 T cells upon mevalonate pathway inhibition. Our findings reveal the importance of mevalonate metabolism for the proper functioning of Vd2 T cells and provides important considerations for improving their therapeutic use.

Differential effects of glutamine inhibition strategies on anti-tumor CD8 T cell function

Project description:Activated T cells undergo metabolic reprogramming to meet anabolic, differentiation, and functional demands. Glutamine supports many processes in activated T cells, and inhibition of glutamine metabolism alters T cell function in autoimmune disease and cancer. Multiple glutamine-targeting molecules are under investigation, yet the precise mechanisms of glutamine-dependent CD8 T cell differentiation remain unclear. We show that distinct strategies of glutamine inhibition by glutaminase-specific inhibition with small molecule CB-839, pan-glutamine inhibition with 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON), or by glutamine deprivation (No Q) produce distinct metabolic differentiation trajectories in CD8 T cells. T cell activation with CB-839 treatment had a milder effect than DON or No Q treatment. A key difference was that CB-839-treated cells compensated with increased glycolytic metabolism, while DON and No Q-treated cells increased oxidative metabolism. However, all glutamine treatment strategies elevated CD8 T cell dependence on glucose metabolism, and No Q treatment caused adaptation toward reduced glutamine dependence. DON treatment reduced histone modifications and numbers of memory-like cells in adoptive transfer studies, but those T cells that persisted could expand normally upon secondary antigen encounter. In contrast, No Q-treated cells persisted well yet demonstrated decreased secondary expansion. Consistent with impaired function, CD8 T cells activated in the presence of DON had reduced ability to control tumor growth and reduced tumor infiltration in adoptive cell therapy. Overall, each approach to inhibit glutamine metabolism confers distinct effects on CD8 T cells and highlights that targeting the same pathway in different ways can elicit opposing metabolic and functional outcomes.

Arsenic trioxide inhibits the metastasis of osteosarcoma through suppressing transcriptional activity of GLI2 and downregulation of ribosomal protein S3

Project description:Aberrations in the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway are known to related to several malignancies. However, little is known about the function of GLI2, a transcription factor in the Hh pathway, in osteosarcoma. Osteosarcoma is the most frequent primary bone sarcoma in children and adolescents. Despite survival rates of osteosarcoma patients have increased, the prognosis of patients with metastasis remains poor. Therefore, the development of novel therapeutic strategies for osteosarcoma patients is development of novel therapeutic strategies for osteosarcoma patients is urgently needed. Aberrations in the Hedgehog (Hh) pathway are known to related to several malignancies. However, little is known about the function of GLI2, a transcription factor in the Hh pathway, in osteosarcoma. Our findings revealed that GLI2 was overexpressed in osteosarcoma tissues. Additionally, GLI2 is involved in the metastasis of osteosarcoma cells through the regulation of ribosomal protein S3 expression. Furthermore, we showed that arsenic trioxide (ATO) suppressed the invasion and lung metastasis of osteosarcoma cells by the inhibition of GLI transcription. Consequently, these finding reveal a novel function of GLI2 in the metastasis of osteosarcoma and that ATO may be a new therapeutic agentay be a new therapeutic agent. We revealed that a novel function of GLI2 in the metastasis of osteosarcoma and that ATO may be a new therapeutic agent for preventing osteosarcoma metastasis.

Single-cell RNA-seq (10x Chromium V3) of zebrafish csf1ra and csf1rb mutant whole kidney marrows

Project description:Macrophage colony-stimulating factor receptor (M-CSFR/CSF1R) signaling is crucial for the differentiation, proliferation, and survival of myeloid cells. Therapeutic targeting of the CSF1R pathway is a promising strategy in many human diseases, including neurological disorders or cancer. Zebrafish are commonly used for human disease modeling and preclinical therapeutic screening. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the proper function of cytokine signaling in zebrafish to reliably model human-related diseases. Here, we investigate the roles of zebrafish csf1ra and csf1rb in adult myelopoiesis using single-cell RNA sequencing. Our analysis of adult whole kidney marrow (WKM) hematopoietic cells suggests that csf1rb is expressed mainly by blood and myeloid progenitors and that the expression of csf1ra and csf1rb is non-overlapping. We point out differentially expressed genes important in hematopoietic cell differentiation and immune response in selected WKM populations. Our findings could improve the understanding of myeloid cell function and lead to the further study of CSF1R pathway deregulation in disease, mostly in cancerogenesis.

The RORɣ/SREBP2 pathway is a master regulator of cholesterol metabolism and serves as potential therapeutic target in t(4;11) leukemia

Project description:Dysregulated cholesterol homeostasis promotes tumorigenesis and progression. Therefore, metabolic reprogramming constitutes a new hallmark of cancer. However, until today, only few therapeutic approaches exist to target this pathway due to the often-observed negative feedback induced by agents like statins leading to controversially increased cholesterol synthesis upon inhibition. Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) are key transcription factors regulating the synthesis of cholesterol and fatty acids. Since SREBP2 is difficult to target, we performed pharmacological inhibition of retinoic acid receptor (RAR)-related orphan receptor gamma (RORγ), which acts upstream of SREBP2 and serves as master regulator of the cholesterol metabolism. This resulted in an inactivated cholesterol-related gene program with significant downregulation of cholesterol biosynthesis. Strikingly, these effects were more pronounced than the effects of fatostatin, a direct SREBP2 inhibitor. Upon RORγ inhibition, RNA sequencing showed strongly increased cholesterol efflux genes leading to leukemic cell death and cell cycle changes in a dose- and time-dependent manner. Combinatorial treatment of t(4;11) cells with the RORγ inhibitor showed additive effects with cytarabine and even strong anti-leukemia synergism with atorvastatin by circumventing the statin-induced feedback. Our results suggest a novel therapeutic strategy to inhibit tumor-specific cholesterol metabolism for the treatment of t(4;11) leukemia.

MARK2/MARK3 kinases are catalytic co-dependencies of YAP/TAZ in human cancer (part2)

Project description:Human cancer is often caused by dysfunctional developmental pathways, but such mechanisms do not always present clear opportunities for therapeutic intervention. This is exemplified by the Hippo tumor suppressor pathway, which is comprised of a kinase module that restrains the function of YAP/TAZ transcriptional coactivators; a pathway that becomes dysregulated in a wide array of human cancers. Hence, YAP/TAZ hyperactivation is a tumorigenic mechanism and a validated therapeutic target in oncology. In this study, we used a paralog co-targeting genetic screening strategy to identify the kinases MARK2/3 as co-dependencies of YAP/TAZ in diverse cancer contexts. We use biochemical and epistasis experiments to show that MARK2/3 phosphorylate and inhibit the activity of Hippo pathway components NF2, MST1/2, and MAP4Ks, which leads to indirect upstream control of LATS1/2 activity. In addition, MARK2/3 directly phosphorylate YAP/TAZ to shield these coactivators from LATS1/2-mediated inhibition. The net consequence of this multi-level regulation is that YAP/TAZ-dependent human cancers have an absolute requirement for MARK2/3 catalytic activity to sustain tumor cell proliferation and viability. To simulate therapeutic targeting of MARK2/3 in vivo, we adapted the EPIYA-repeat region of the CagA protein from H. pylori as a catalytic inhibitor of MARK2/3, which we show exerts potent anti-tumor activity via on-target mechanisms. Together, these findings reveal MARK2/3 as an obligate catalytic requirement for YAP/TAZ function in human cancer; kinase targets that may allow for novel pharmacology that restores Hippo-mediated tumor suppression.
