A unique subset of glycolytic tumor propagating cells drives squamous cell carcinoma

ABSTRACT: Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC) remains among the most aggressive human cancers. Tumor progression and aggressiveness in SCC are largely driven by Tumor Propagating Cells (TPCs). Aerobic glycolysis, also known as the Warburg Effect, represents a characteristic of many cancers, yet whether this adaptation is functionally important in SCC, and at which stage, remains poorly understood. Here, we show that the NAD+-dependent histone deacetylase Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6) is a robust tumor suppressor in SCC, acting as a modulator of glycolysis in these tumors. Remarkably, rather than a late adaptation, we find enhanced glycolysis specifically in TPCs. More importantly, using single cell RNA sequencing of TPCs, we identify a subset of TPCs with higher glycolysis and enhanced pentose phosphate pathway and glutathione metabolism, characteristics that are strongly associated with a better antioxidant response. Altogether, our studies uncover enhanced glycolysis as a main driver in SCC, and, more importantly, identify a subset of TPCs as the cell-of-origin for the Warburg effect, defining metabolism as a key feature of intra-tumor heterogeneity.

SIRT3 opposes metabolic reprogramming of cancer cells through HIF1a destabilization

Project description:Tumor cells exhibit aberrant metabolism characterized by high glycolysis even in the presence of oxygen. This metabolic reprogramming, known as the Warburg effect, provides tumor cells with the substrates and redox potential required for the generation of biomass. Here, we show that the mitochondrial NAD-dependent deacetylase SIRT3 is a crucial regulator of the Warburg effect. SIRT3 loss promotes a metabolic profile consistent with high glycolysis required for anabolic processes in vivo and in vitro. Mechanistically, SIRT3 mediates metabolic reprogramming independently of mitochondrial oxidative metabolism and through HIF1a, a transcription factor that controls expression of key glycolytic enzymes. SIRT3 loss increases reactive oxygen species production, resulting in enhanced HIF1a stabilization. Strikingly, SIRT3 is deleted in 40% of human breast cancers, and its loss correlates with the upregulation of HIF1a target genes. Finally, we find that SIRT3 overexpression directly represses the Warburg effect in breast cancer cells. In sum, we identify SIRT3 as a regulator of HIF1a and a suppressor of the Warburg effect. RNA isolated from brown adipose tissue of SIRT3 WT and KO mice. 5 wild-type samples and 5 SIRT3 KO samples

A non-dividing population with high pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase activity drives metabolic heterogeneity and tumorigenesis in the intestine

Project description:Although reprogramming of cellular metabolism is a hallmark of cancer, little is known about how metabolic reprogramming contributes to early stages of transformation. Here, we show that the histone deacetylase SIRT6 regulates tumor initiation during intestinal cancer by controlling glucose metabolism. Loss of SIRT6 results in increased number of intestinal stem cells (ISCs), which translates into enhanced tumor initiating potential in APCmin mice. More importantly, we found a metabolic compartmentalization within the intestinal epithelium and adenomas, where a rare population of cells exhibit features of Warburg-like metabolism characterized by high pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) activity. Our results show that these cells are quiescent cells expressing +4 ISCs and enteroendocrine markers. Active glycolysis in these cells suppresses ROS accumulation and enhances their stem cell and tumorigenic potential. Our studies reveal that aerobic glycolysis represents a highly heterogeneous feature of cancer, and more importantly, they indicate that this metabolic adaptation occurs in non-dividing cells, suggesting a role for the Warburg effect beyond biomass production in tumors.

Loss of Lkb1 and Pten Leads to Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma with Elevated Pdl1 Expression: Stroma Cells

Project description:Lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a deadly disease for which current treatments are inadequate. We demonstrate that bi-allelic inactivation of Lkb1 and Pten in the mouse lung led to SCC that recapitulated the histology, gene expression and microenvironment found in human disease. Lkb1/Pten-null (LP) tumors expressed the squamous markers Krt5, p63 and Sox2, and transcriptionally resembled the basal subtype of human SCC. In contrast to mouse adenocarcinomas, the LP tumors contained immune populations enriched for tumor-associated neutrophils. Sca1+/Ngfr+ fractions were enriched for tumor propagating cells (TPCs) that could serially transplant the disease in orthotopic assays. TPCs in the LP model and Ngfr+ cells in human SCCs highly expressed Pdl1, suggesting a novel mechanism of immune escape for TPCs. We used microarrays to detail the gene expression profles among lung SCC tumor epitheial cell, lung ADC tumor epithelia cell and normal epithelial cells. Kras tumor stroma cells and LP tumor stroma cells were sorted by FACS, the cells were gated as EpCAM-/CD45+/CD31+

Reconstructing and reprogramming the tumor propagating potential of glioblastoma stem-like cells: RNA-seq

Project description:Developmental fate decisions are dictated by master transcription factors (TFs) that interact with cis-regulatory elements to direct transcriptional programs. Certain malignant tumors may also depend on a cellular hierarchy reminiscent of normal development but superimposed on underlying genetic aberrations. In glioblastoma (GBM), a subset of stem-like tumor- propagating cells (TPCs) appears to drive tumor progression and underlie therapeutic resistance, yet remain poorly understood. Here, we identify a core set of neurodevelopmental TFs (POU3F2, SOX2, SALL2, OLIG2) essential for GBM propagation. These TFs coordinately bind and activate TPC-specific regulatory elements, and are sufficient to fully reprogram differentiated GBM cells to ‘induced’ TPCs that recapitulate the epigenetic landscape and phenotype of native TPCs. We reconstruct a TF network model that highlights critical interactions and identifies novel therapeutic targets for eliminating TPCs. Our study establishes the epigenetic basis of a developmental hierarchy in a devastating malignancy, provides detailed insight into the underlying gene regulatory programs, and suggests attendant therapeutic strategies. 3'end RNA sequencing
