Project description:Reducing mitochondrial electron transport induces a Warburg-like shift to accommodate for the energetic burden caused by brain trauma and salvage dopaminergic neurons. This metabolic shift is evident in the transcriptional upregulation of key genes in the Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex and glycolytic pathway.

Project description:Concussion is associated with a myriad of deleterious immediate and long-term consequences. Yet the molecular mechanisms and genetic targets promoting the selective vulnerability of different neural subtypes to dysfunction and degeneration remain unclear. Translating experimental models of blunt force trauma in C. elegans to concussion in mice, we identify a conserved neuroprotective mechanism in which reduction of mitochondrial electron flux through complex IV suppresses trauma-induced degeneration of the highly vulnerable dopaminergic neurons. Reducing cytochrome C oxidase function elevates mitochondrial-derived reactive oxygen species, which signal through the cytosolic hypoxia inducing transcription factor, Hif1a, to promote hyperphosphorylation and inactivation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase, PDHE1α. This critical enzyme initiates the Warburg shunt, which drives energetic reallocation from mitochondrial respiration to astrocyte-mediated glycolysis in a neuroprotective manner. These studies demonstrate a conserved process in which glycolytic preconditioning suppresses Parkinson-like hypersensitivity of dopaminergic neurons to trauma-induced degeneration via redox signaling and the Warburg effect.

Project description:Adoption of Warburg metabolism is critical for macrophage activation in response to lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Macrophages stimulated with LPS (without or with interferon-γ) increase expression of nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), a key enzyme in NAD+ salvage, and loss of NAMPT activity alters their inflammatory potential. However, events leading to NAD+ salvage-dependence in these cells remain poorly defined. We show that NAD+ depletion and increased NAMPT expression occur rapidly after inflammatory activation and coincide with DNA damage caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are produced by Complex III of the mitochondrial electron transport chain, and are required for macrophage activation. We show that DNA damage is associated with PARP activation, which results in NAD+ consumption and in this setting increased NAMPT expression allows the maintenance of NAD+ pools sufficient for GAPDH activity and Warburg metabolism. Our findings provide an integrated explanation for dependency on the NAD+ salvage pathway in inflammatory macrophages.

Project description:Recent studies have demonstrated that upon encountering a pathogenic stimulus, robust metabolic rewiring of immune cells occurs. A switch away from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis, even in the presence of sufficient amounts of oxygen (akin the Warburg effect), is typically observed in activated innate and adaptive immune cells and is thought to accommodate adequate inflammatory responses. However, whether the Warburg effect is a general phenomenon applicable in human monocytes exposed to different pathogenic stimuli is unknown. Our results using human monocytes from healthy donors demonstrate that the Warburg effect only holds true for TLR4 activated cells. Although activation of other TLRs leads to an increase in glycolysis, no reduction or even an enhancement in oxidative phosphorylation is observed. Moreover, specific metabolic rewiring occurs in TLR4 vs. TLR2 stimulated cells characterized by altered gene expression profiles of pathways related to metabolism, changes in spare respiratory capacity of the cells and differential regulation of mitochondrial enzyme activity. Similarly, results from ex vivo and in vivo studies demonstrate metabolic rewiring of immune cells that is highly dependent on the type of pathogenic stimulus. Although the Warburg effect is observed in human monocytes after TLR4 activation, we propose that this typical metabolic response is not applicable to other inflammatory signalling routes including TLR2 in human monocytes. Instead, each pathogenic stimulus and subsequently activated inflammatory signalling cascade induces specific metabolic rewiring of the immune cell to accommodate an appropriate response.

Project description:Understanding the mechanisms of the Warburg shift to aerobic glycolysis is central to defining the metabolic basis of cancer. Hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell carcinoma (HLRCC) is an aggressive cancer characterized by bi-allelic inactivation of the gene encoding the Krebs cycle enzyme fumarate hydratase, an early shift to aerobic glycolysis, and rapid metastasis. We observed of the mitochondrial in tumors from HLRCC patients. Biochemical and transcriptomics analyses revealed that respiratory chain dysfunction in the tumors was due to loss of expression of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)-encoded subunits of respiratory chain complexes, caused by a marked decrease in mtDNA content and increased mtDNA mutations. We demonstrated that accumulation of fumarate in HLRCC tumors inactivated the core factors responsible for replication and proofreading of mtDNA, leading to loss of expression of respiratory chain components, thereby promoting the shift to aerobic glycolysis and disease progression in this prototypic model of glucose-dependent human cancer.

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.

Project description:Huntington Disease (HD) is a dominantly inherited, relentlessly progressive neurodegenerative disease. Caused by a polyglutamine expansion in the mutant huntingtin protein (mhtt), HD pathogenesis impairs function in the cerebral cortex and in medium spiny neurons of the striatum and involves transcriptional dysregulation of a number of genes. Of these genes, silencing of genes related to mitochondrial function is believed to explain metabolic dysfunction in rodent models of HD. Here we show that transglutaminase 2 (TG2), which is upregulated in HD, exacerbates transcriptional dysregulation by acting as a selective corepressor of nuclear genes. TG2 inhibition by RNA knockdown, genetic deletion, or administration of a novel irreversible, peptide-based TG2 inhibitor (ZDON) de-repressed two established regulators of mitochondrial function, PGC-1? and cytochrome c in a cell model of HD. TG2 must localize to non-coding or coding regions of these mitochondrial metabolic genes to silence their transcription. As expected, TG2 inhibition reversed the increased susceptibility of HD mouse cells and human HD myoblasts to the mitochondrial toxin, 3-nitroproprionic acid (3-NP); however, protection mediated by TG2 inhibition was not associated with improved mitochondrial bioenergetics. Indeed, an unbiased array analysis indicated that TG2 inhibition leads to normalization of not only mitochondrial genes but of nearly 40% of genes that are dysregulated in HD mouse striatal neurons, including chaperone and histone genes. Indeed, TG2 interacts directly with Histone 3 in the nucleus. Moreover, TG2 inhibition significantly attenuated photoreceptor degeneration in a Drosophila model of HD and protected mouse HD striatal neurons (YAC128) from NMDA- induced toxicity. Altogether these findings demonstrate that TG2 mediates its deleterious effects in HD by contributing to broad transcriptional dysregulation of genes representing many cellular functions. These studies define a novel HDAC-independent epigenetic strategy for treating neurodegeneration. To evaluate the effect of TG2 inhibition (treatment with ZDON, Boc-DON, CystamineA, and Control) in striatal cell lines from a transgenic model of Huntington disease (Q111) vs. control (Q7). One sample (WT.boc.3, 4068264015_G) failed the QC test and was excluded from further analyses.
