Project description:Purine biosynthesis and metabolism, conserved in all living organisms, is essential for cellular energy homeostasis and nucleic acids synthesis. The de novo synthesis of purine precursors is under tight negative feedback regulation mediated by adenine and guanine nucleotides. We describe a new early-onset distinct neurodegenerative condition resulting from mutations in the adenosine monophosphate deaminase 2 gene (AMPD2). Patients have characteristic brain imaging features of pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH), due to loss of brainstem and cerebellar parenchyma. We found that AMPD2 plays an evolutionary conserved role in the maintenance of cellular guanine nucleotide pools by regulating the feedback inhibition of adenosine derivatives on de novo purine synthesis. AMPD2 deficiency results in defective GTP-dependent initiation of protein translation, which can be rescued by administration of purine precursors. These data suggest AMPD2-related PCH as a new potentially treatable early-onset neurodegenerative disease.

Project description:Guanosine nucleotide (GTP) serves as a pivotal purine nucleoside triphosphate, essential for DNA and RNA structure and function. Additionally, it acts as an activator for the guanine-binding protein family (G protein), participating in crucial cellular processes such as cytoskeleton rearrangement, membrane transport, protein synthesis, and signal transduction. IMPDH1 and IMPDH2 are key enzymes in the de novo synthesis of guanine nucleotides. Our research shows that they exhibit differential activities under DNA damage conditions. Specifically, IMPDH1 predominantly maintains enzymatic activity during DNA damage, facilitating GTP synthesis and cell survival. Our data indicate that following DNA damage, IMPDH1 and IMPDH2 affect distinct pathways in cells, with IMPDH1 potentially promoting the expression of homologous recombination repair proteins.

Project description:Cell cycle and metabolism are two major outputs controlled by circadian rhythm in many organisms. Here we show that the three processes were linked through inosine 5'-phosphate dehydrogenase (impdh), a rate-limiting enzyme in de novo purine synthesis. We using adult zebrafish as a model system,we applied a genome-wide transcriptome approach that allowed us to investigate circadian gene expression. The whole-genome transcriptome profiles of adult brain in time-series were assayed on Agilent zebrafish microarrays. We used a similar statistical method to identify zebrafish circadian genes (ZCOG) as our previous study in larval zebrafish. Three isoforms of impdh show strong circadian oscillations in different tissues of zebrafish. impdh1a contributes to the ocular development and pigment synthesis, impdh2 promotes and impdh1b delays the development. By limiting the GTP required by DNA synthesis, impdh2 contributes to the daily rhythm of S phase in cell cycle. Multiple enzymes in the de novo purine synthesis pathway show the same circadian oscillations with peaks similar to impdh2. The circadian expression of this pathway is conserved in mouse liver. In summary, we show that the circadian regulation of de novo purine synthesis that supplies crucial building blocks for DNA replication is critical for gating cell cycle in circadian rhythm.

Project description:Metabolic dysregulation is one of the most common causes of pediatric neurodegenerative disorders. However, how the disruption of ubiquitous and essential metabolic pathways predominantly affect neural tissue remains unclear. Here we use a mouse model of AMPD2 deficiency to study cellular and molecular mechanisms that lead to selective neuronal vulnerability to purine metabolism imbalance. We show that AMPD deficiency in mice primarily leads to hippocampal dentate gyrus degeneration despite causing a generalized reduction of brain GTP levels. Remarkably, we uncover that neurodegeneration resistant regions of the hippocampus accumulate micron sized filaments of IMPDH2, the rate limiting enzyme in GTP synthesis. In contrast, IMPDH2 filaments are barely detectable in the dentate gyrus, which show a progressively neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration. Furthermore, using a human AMPD2 neural cell culture model, we show that blocking IMPDH2 polymerization with a dominant negative IMPDH2 variant impairs AMPD2 deficient neural progenitor growth. Together, our findings suggest that IMPDH2 polymerization prevents detrimental GTP deprivation caused by AMPD2 deficiency, providing resistance to neurodegeneration. This data opens the possibility of exploring the involvement of IMPDH2 assembly as a therapeutic intervention for neurodegeneration.

Project description:BackgroundLoss of function of fumarate hydratase (FH), the mitochondrial tumor suppressor and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzyme, is associated with a highly malignant form of papillary and collecting duct renal cell cancer. The accumulation of fumarate in these cells has been linked to the tumorigenic process. However, little is known about the overall effects of the loss of FH on cellular metabolism.MethodsWe performed comprehensive metabolomic analyses of urine from Fh1-deficient mice and stable isotopologue tracing from human and mouse FH-deficient cell lines to investigate the biochemical signature of the loss of FH.ResultsThe metabolomics analysis revealed that the urea cycle metabolite argininosuccinate is a common metabolic biomarker of FH deficiency. Argininosuccinate was found to be produced from arginine and fumarate by the reverse activity of the urea cycle enzyme argininosuccinate lyase (ASL), making these cells auxotrophic for arginine. Depleting arginine from the growth media by the addition of pegylated arginine deiminase (ADI-PEG 20) decreased the production of argininosuccinate in FH-deficient cells and reduced cell survival and proliferation.ConclusionsThese results unravel a previously unidentified correlation between fumarate accumulation and the urea cycle enzyme ASL in FH-deficient cells. The finding that FH-deficient cells become auxotrophic for arginine opens a new therapeutic perspective for the cure of hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC).

Project description:Brain tumor initiating cells (BTICs), also known as cancer stem cells, hijack high-affinity glucose uptake normally active in brain to maintain energy demands in dynamic tumor microenvironments. Using unbiased metabolomics and genomic analyses, we discovered that de novo purine synthesis is functionally upregulated in BTICs, mediating glucose-sustained anabolic metabolism. Inhibiting purine synthesis abrogated BTIC growth, self-renewal, and in vivo tumor formation by depleting intracellular pools of purine nucleotides, supporting purine synthesis as potential therapeutic point of fragility. In contrast, differentiated brain tumor cells retained proliferative potential with targeting of purine biosynthetic enzymes, suggesting a selective dependence in BTICs. Upstream transcriptional activation of purine synthesis is mediated by MYC. Elevated expression of purine synthetic enzymes correlates with poor prognosis in glioblastoma patients. Collectively, our results suggest that a stem-like state in brain cancer is associated with metabolic reprogramming to fuel tumor hierarchy, revealing potential BTIC cancer dependencies amenable to targeted therapy.

Project description:Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is an oral drug approved for relapsing multiple sclerosis (MS) that leads to reduction of neurofilament light (NFL). This may be related to dynamics and persistence of microRNA signatures in the peripheral blood of treatment-naïve MS patients before and after dimethyl fumarate (DMF) at different time points. 210 blood samples were collected from 51 treatment-naïve patients at baseline (BL) and after 1-3, 4-7, 9-15 and 21-27 months of DMF and from 22 controls from the phase IV TREMEND trial. Using microarray, 1,085 miRNAs were two-folds above the background and compared versus NFL. Altered miRNA profiles peaked after 4-7 months. MiR-16-5p and miR-4306, involved in the NF-kB-pathway, were upregulated in low NFL samples, while miR-940 and miR-4665-3p were upregulated in high NFL samples. NFL and miRNA correlations were strongest after 4-7 months DMF. In four patients with blood samples taken at all 5 time points, time-series analysis found miR-146a-5p, the inhibitor of the NF-kB-pathway, increased 1-3 months after treatment. DMF induces dynamic changes in composite miRNA profiles 4-7 months after initiation, several involved in the NF-kB-pathway. Upregulation of miR-16-5p and miR-4306 in low-NFL, while miR-940 and miR-4665-3p in high-NFL samples may indicate a response to DMF treatment.

Project description:The small nucleotide ppGpp is a conserved regulatory molecule in prokaryotes that tunes growth rate in response to nutrient availability. How ppGpp regulates growth remains poorly defined. In Escherichia coli, ppGpp directly binds RNA polymerase to modulate transcription, but it likely has other targets. Here, we develop a capture-compound mass spectrometry approach to identify more than 50 putative ppGpp targets that control many key cellular processes, including translation, polyamine synthesis, and nucleotide metabolism. We validate several proteins as bona fide ppGpp targets in vivo. In particular, we demonstrate that ppGpp inhibits the enzymes Gsk and PurF to block purine salvage and de novo synthesis, respectively. Our results indicate that downregulating ATP and GTP synthesis is a critical facet of growth control by ppGpp. Collectively, our results provide new insight into ppGpp-based growth control in E. coli and candidates for future exploration. The capture compounds developed will also enable identification of ppGpp targets in other species, including many pathogens.
