Hexokinase 2 is dispensable for T cell-dependent immunity

ABSTRACT: Hexokinase 2 (HK2) is one the most highly upregulated enzymes in glycolysis in activated T cells and cancer cells. We genetically abolished HK2 expression in T cells in vivo and infected mice with LCMV to induce T cell proliferation. CD8+ T cells from were sorted from spleens of WT and HK2 null mice 8 days after infection. Additionally, WT CD8+ T cells were compared to WT primary T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL). T-ALL cells were sorted from spleens of mice 6 weeks after adoptive transfer of bone marrow that overexpresses mutant Notch1 (Notch1-deltaE).

microRNA-143 downregulates Hexokinase 2 in colon cancer cells

Project description:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as important gene regulators and are recognized as key players in tumorigenesis. miR-143 is reported to be down-regulated in several cancers, but knowledge of its targets in colon cancer remains limited. To investigate the role of miR-143 in colon cancer, we have employed a microarray based approach to identify miR-143 targets. Based on seed site enrichment analyses and unbiased word analyses, we found a significant enrichment of miRNA binding sites in the 3M-bM-^@M-^Y-untranslated regions (UTRs) of transcripts down-regulated upon miRNA overexpression. Here we identify Hexokinase 2 (HK2) as a direct target of miR-143 and show that re-introduction of miR-143 in the colon cancer cell line DLD-1 results in a decreased lactate secretion, indicating that miR-143 down-regulation of HK2 affects glucose metabolism in colon cancer cells. DLD-1 cells were transfected with 50 nM miR-143 duplex or mock transfected. Total RNA was harvested 24 hours post-transfection and analyzed on Affymetrix HG-U133 Plus 2.0 human arrays.

Hexokinase 2 is a transcriptional targetHexokinase 2 is a transcriptional target and a positive modulator of AHR signalling and a positive modulator of AHR signalling

Project description:The Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor (AHR) regulates the expression of numerous genes in response to activation by agonists including xenobiotics. Although it is well appreciated that environmental signals and cell intrinsic features may modulate this transcriptional response, how it is mechanistically achieved remains poorly understood. We show that Hexokinase 2 (HK2) a metabolic enzyme fuelling cancer cell growth, is a transcriptional target of AHR as well as a modulator of its activity. Expression of HK2 is positively regulated by AHR upon exposure to agonists both in human cells and in mice lung tissues. Conversely, over-expression of HK2 regulates the abundance of many proteins involved in the regulation of AHR signalling and these changes are linked with altered AHR expression levels and transcriptional activity. HK2 expression also shows a negative correlation with AHR promoter methylation in tumours, and these tumours with high HK2 expression and low AHR methylation are associated with a worse overall survival in patients. In sum, our study provides novel insights into how AHR signalling is regulated which may help our understanding of the context-specific effects of this pathway and may have implications in cancer.

Hexokinase 2 and lactate mediated gene expression via histone H3 lysine 18 lactylation (CHO RNA-Seq)

Project description:Hexokinase catalyzes the first committed step in glucose metabolism by phosphorylating glucose to produce glucose-6-phosphate. Highly glycolytic proliferating cells such as cancer cells take advantage of HK2 expression to accelerate glucose metabolism even in the presence of oxygen. This acceleration not only provides sufficient glycolytic intermediates to support the anabolic demands of the cells but also inevitably accompanies increased formation of metabolic end products such as lactate. Currently, the effect of lactate caused by HK2-mediated metabolic alteration is largely unknown. A recent study found that lactate plays a role in an epigenetic alteration known as histone lactylation. Here, using RNA-seq and CUT&Tag chromatin profiling, we study the effect of HK2 and lactate on gene expression via histone lactylation (H3K18la).

Hexokinase 2 detects cytokeratin negative circulating tumor cells in lung adenocarcinoma

Project description:Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) represent the molecular characteristics of tumor sites and travel in the blood for seeding distant metastases. "EpCAM+/pan-cytokeratin (CK)+/CD45-/DAPI+" has been widely accepted as a CTC definition, especially in breast cancer, prostate cancer and colorectal cancer. However, reports on CTC detection in non-small cell lung cancer are limited due to a lack of efficient CTC marker. We describe hexokinase 2 (HK2) that assays elevated glycolysis of cancer cells, called Warburg effect, as a new marker for CTC detection in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), especially the CK negative CTCs. Single-cell sequencing was used to confirm the malignancy of putative CTCs by detecting genome-wide copy number alternations characteristic of malignant cells. We employed this marker in a variety of liquid biopsies from LUAD patients, including peripheral blood, pleural effusion and cerebrospinal fluid.

Hexokinase 2-mediated gene expression via histone lactylation is required for hepatic stellate cell activation and liver fibrosis (CUT&Tag)

Project description:Lactate was implicated in activation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). However, the mechanism by which lactate exerts its effect remains elusive. We show that hexokinase 2 (HK2) is sufficient to change gene expression by histone lactylation but not histone acetylation. Using RNA-seq and CUT&Tag chromatin profiling, we found that induction of HK2 expression in activated HSCs is required for the induced gene expression by elevating histone lactylation. Inhibiting histone lactylation by Hk2 deletion or pharmacological inhibition of lactate production diminishes HSC activation, whereas exogenous lactate but not acetate supplementation rescues the activation phenotype. Thus, lactate produced by activated HSCs determines the HSC fate via histone lactylation. We found that histone acetylation competes with histone lactylation, which could explain why class I HDAC inhibitors impede HSC activation. Finally, HSC-specific or systemic deletion of HK2 inhibits HSC activation and liver fibrosis in vivo. Therefore, we provide evidence that HK2 may be an effective therapeutic target for liver fibrosis.

The mitochondrial metabolic enzyme Hexokinase 2 regulates stem cell function and differentiation by increasing chromatin openness and the accessibility of stem cell genes [ChIP-Seq]

Project description:Mitochondrial metabolites regulate the function and differentiation of leukemic and normal stem cells by affecting epigenetic marks. However, it is less understood how mitochondrial enzymes localize to the nucleus to control stem cell function. We discovered that the mitochondrial metabolic enzyme Hexokinase 2 (HK2) localizes to the nucleus in leukemic and normal hematopoietic stem cells. Overexpression of nuclear HK2 increased leukemic stem cell (LSC) properties and decreased differentiation while selective knockdown of nuclear HK2 promoted differentiation and decreased stem cell function. The nuclear localization of HK2 was phosphorylation dependent and required active import and export. Nuclear HK2 regulated LSC and differentiation independent of its enzymatic and metabolic activity. HK2 interacted with nuclear proteins that regulate chromatin openness and increased chromatin accessibilities at sites associated with the LSC+ signature and DNA damage repair. Consistent with these effects, nuclear HK2 increased repair of DNA damage and contributed to the mechanism by which LSCs resist DNA damaging agents. Thus, we describe a non-canonical mechanism by which mitochondrial enzymes regulate gene expression and stem cell function independent of their metabolic function.
