Metabolic control over mTOR dependent diapause-like state

ABSTRACT: Regulation of embryonic diapause, dormancy that interrupts the tight connection between develop- mental stage and time, is still poorly understood. Here, we characterize the transcriptional and metabolite profiles of mouse diapause embryos and identify unique gene expression and metabolic signatures with activated lipolysis, glycolysis, and metabolic pathways regulated by AMPK. Lipolysis is increased due to mTORC2 repression, increasing fatty acids to support cell survival. We further show that starvation in pre-implantation ICM-derived mouse ESCs induces a reversible dormant state, transcriptionally mimicking the in vivo diapause stage. During starvation, Lkb1, an upstream kinase of AMPK, represses mTOR, which induces a revers- ible glycolytic and epigenetically H4K16Ac-negative, diapause-like state. Diapause furthermore activates expression of glutamine transporters SLC38A1/2. We show by genetic and small molecule inhibitors that glutamine transporters are essential for the H4K16Ac-negative, diapause state. These data sug- gest that mTORC1/2 inhibition, regulated by amino acid levels, is causal for diapause metabolism and epigenetic state.

The unique catalytic properties of PSAT1 mediate metabolic adaptation to glutamine blockade

Project description:Cultured cancer cells frequently rely on the consumption of glutamine and its subsequent hydrolysis to glutamate by the mitochondrial enzyme glutaminase (GLS). However, this metabolic addiction can be lost in the tumor microenvironment (TME), rendering GLS inhibitors ineffective in the clinic. Here, we show that seemingly glutamine-addicted breast cancer cells ultimately adapt to chronic glutamine starvation, or targeted GLS inhibition, via the AMPK-mediated upregulation of the serine synthesis pathway (SSP). In this context, the key product of the SSP is not serine itself, but a-ketoglutarate (a-KG). Mechanistically, we find that the phylogenetically distinct transaminase phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1) has a unique capacity for sustained a-KG production when glutamate is severely depleted. Breast cancer cells with intrinsic or acquired resistance to glutamine starvation or GLS inhibition are highly dependent on SSP-supplied a-KG. Accordingly, pharmacological disruption of the SSP prevents adaptation to glutamine blockade, yielding a potent drug synergism that abolishes breast tumor growth in vivo. These findings highlight how metabolic redundancy can be context dependent, with the catalytic properties of different metabolic enzymes that act on the same substrate determining which pathways can support tumor growth in a particular nutrient environment. This in turn has practical consequences for therapies targeting cancer metabolism.

Phosphoethanolamine Accumulation Protects Cancer Cells under Glutamine Starvation through Downregulation of PCYT2

Project description:The conditions of the tumor microenvironment, such as nutrient starvation, play critical roles in cancer progression. However, the role of glutamine deprivation in cancer progression is not studied as extensively as that of hypoxia. Here, we show that glutamine starvation triggered down-regulation of PCYT2 by stimulating accumulation of PEtn. Interestingly, glutamine upregulated series of glutamine-responsive genes, not only PCYT2. Furthermore, glutamine-responsive genes were associated with overall survival of cancer patients. Thus, our findings show that glutamine responsive genes such as PCYT2 are key for progression of cancer cells, partly protecting cancer cells to glutamine starvation.

Effects of short-term starvation on the transcriptome and lipid metabolism of epididymal white adipose tissue in mice

Project description:Beneficial effects have been reported in individuals undergoing fasting to treat excessive weight gain and obesity. To better understand the effects of starvation on the transcriptome and lipid metabolism of white adipose tissue, we established a mouse model of 24-hour fasting using wild type C57BL/6J mice, and performed RNA-seq analysis of the white adipose tissue from the epididymis of fasted mice and control mice. Compared with the control fed mice, these fasted mice showed suppressed lipid synthesis and inhibited insulin signaling, while the lipolysis and gluconeogenesis were enhanced to maintain blood sugar stability. Specifically, the fasted mice had reduced volume of adipose tissues, increased levels of serum NEFA and ANP. In epididymal white adipose tissue, starvation increased the NEFA content, up-regulated the mRNA levels of Atgl, Adrb2, Anp, and Npr1, and promoted the phosphorylation of Hsl. Notably, bioinformatics analysis of the RNA-seq data showed that 24-hour fasting-induced alterations in lipid metabolism was associated with suppressed AMPK signaling and enhanced PPAR signaling in white adipose tissue, which was verified by quantitative PCR. Collectively, these findings supported that starvation promoted the conversion of energy-supplying substrates from glucose to fat. Our work sheds new light on harnessing the plasticity of adipose tissues and the AMPK/PPAR signaling pathways to develop potential strategies to combat obesity and other glucose/lipid metabolisms-associated human diseases.

The GID Ubiquitin Ligase Complex is a Regulator of AMPK Activity and Organismal Lifespan

Project description:The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) regulates cellular energy homeostasis by sensing the metabolic status of the cell. AMPK is regulated by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation as a result of changing AMP/ATP levels and by removal of inhibitory ubiquitin residues by USP10. In this context, we identified the GID-complex, an evolutionarily conserved ubiquitin-ligasecomplex (E3), as a negative regulator of AMPK activity. Our data show that the GID-complex targets AMPK for ubiquitination thereby altering its activity. Cells depleted of GID-subunits mimic a state of starvation as shown by increased AMPK activity and autophagic flux as well as reduced MTOR activation. Consistently, gid-genes knockdown in C. elegans results in increased organismal lifespan. This study may contribute to understand metabolic disorders such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and morbid obesity and implements alternative therapeutic approaches to alter AMPK activity.

A role for p53 in the adaptation to glutamine starvation through the expression of Slc1a3

Project description:Numerous mechanisms to support cells under conditions of transient nutrient starvation have been described. The tumor suppressor protein p53 can contribute to the adaptation of cells to metabolic stress through various mechanisms that may help cancer cell survival in nutrient limiting conditions. We show here that p53 helps cancer cells to survive glutamine starvation by promoting the expression of SLC1A3, an aspartate/glutamate transporter that allows the utilization of aspartate to support cells in the absence of extracellular glutamine. Under glutamine deprivation, SLC1A3 expression maintains electron transport chain and tricarboxylic acid cycle activity, promoting de novo glutamate, glutamine and nucleotide synthesis to rescue cell viability. Tumor cells with high levels of SLC1A3 expression are resistant to glutamine starvation and SLC1A3 depletion retards the growth of these cells in vitro and in vivo, suggesting a therapeutic potential for SLC1A3 inhibition.

Transcriptional shut-off of MAP kinase signaling enables pluripotency maintenance during diapause [TT-seq]

Project description:Exposure of unicellular or multicellular organisms to adverse environmental conditions, including nutrient deprivation, may induce a state of suspended animation or diapause. We here report that broad repression of RNA Pol II-driven gene expression by inhibiting the BET family's bromodomain-containing proteins (BET) triggers diapause in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells. The diapause ES cells upregulate a functionally linked group of genes encoding negative regulators of MAP kinase signaling (NRMKS), which play a crucial role in ES cell differentiation. The elevated NRMKS expression is a hallmark of cells exposed to distinct diapause-inducing conditions, including mTOR inhibition, and are required for the pluripotency maintenance during diapause. Mechanistically, inhibition of mTORC1/2 leads to rapid decline of the Capicua transcriptional repressor (CIC) at the NRMKS gene promoters, followed by rapid transcriptional NRMKS gene upregulation. The mTOR and BET-dependent transcriptional switch supporting the undifferentiated state of the diapause ES cells suggests a broader usage of this mechanism in maintaining the undifferentiated state of metabolically dormant stem- or stem-like cells in different tissues.

Spatial hepatocyte plasticity of gluconeogenesis during the metabolic transitions between fed, fasted and starvation states

Project description:The liver acts as a master regulator of metabolic homeostasis in part by performing gluconeogenesis. This process is dysregulated in type 2 diabetes, leading to elevated hepatic glucose output. The parenchymal cells of the liver (hepatocytes) are heterogeneous, existing on an axis between the portal triad and the central vein, and perform distinct functions depending on location in the lobule. Here, using single cell analysis of hepatocytes across the liver lobule, we demonstrate that gluconeogenic gene expression (Pck1 and G6pc) is relatively low in the fed state and gradually increases first in the periportal hepatocytes during the initial fasting period. As the time of fasting progresses, pericentral hepatocyte gluconeogenic gene expression increases, and following entry into the starvation state, the pericentral hepatocytes show similar gluconeogenic gene expression to the periportal hepatocytes. Similarly, pyruvate-dependent gluconeogenic activity is approximately 10-fold higher in the periportal hepatocytes during the initial fasting state but only 1.5-fold higher in the starvation state. In parallel, starvation suppresses canonical beta-catenin signaling and modulates expression of pericentral and periportal glutamine synthetase and glutaminase, resulting in an enhanced pericentral glutamine-dependent gluconeogenesis. These findings demonstrate that hepatocyte gluconeogenic gene expression and gluconeogenic activity are highly spatially and temporally plastic across the liver lobule, underscoring the critical importance of using well-defined feeding and fasting conditions to define the basis of hepatic insulin resistance and glucose production.
