Project description:Background & Aims: Aberrant activation of fatty acid synthase (FASN) is a major metabolic event during the development of HCC. We evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of TVB3664, a novel FASN inhibitor, either alone or in combination, for HCC treatment. Approach & Results: The therapeutic efficacy and the molecular pathways targeted by TVB3664, either alone or with tyrosine kinase inhibitors or the checkpoint inhibitor anti-PD-L1 antibody, were assessed in human HCC cell lines and multiple oncogene-driven HCC mouse models. RNAseq was performed to characterize the global gene expression and metabolic profiles. TVB3664 effectively ameliorated the fatty liver phenotype in the aged mice and AKT activation-induced hepatic steatosis. TVB3664 monotherapy showed moderate efficacy in NASH-related murine HCCs, induced by loss of PTEN and c-MET overexpression. TVB3664, in combination with cabozantinib, triggered tumor regression in this mouse HCC model but did not improve the responsiveness to immunotherapy. Global gene expression revealed that TVB3664 predominantly modulated metabolic processes, while TVB3664 synergized with cabozantinib to downregulate multiple cancer-related pathways, especially the AKT/mTOR pathway and cell proliferation genes. TVB3664 also improved the therapeutic efficacy of sorafenib and cabozantinib in the FASN-dependent c-MYC HCC model. However, TVB3664 had no efficacy nor synergistic effects in FASN-independent mouse HCC models. Conclusions: This preclinical study suggests the limited efficacy of targeting FASN as monotherapy for HCC treatment. However, FASN inhibitors could be combined with other drugs for improved effectiveness. These combination therapies could be developed based on the driver oncogenes, supporting precision medicine approaches for HCC treatment.

Project description:The fatty acid synthase (FASN) is the major fat synthesizing enzyme. FASN is an indispensable enzyme because mice with genetic deletion of Fasn are not viable. Apart from its physiological function, previous studies indicated that FASN could also exert a pathophysiological role, in the heart, because patients with heart failure showed up-reguation of FASN. To investigate the in vivo function of FASN up-regulation in the heart, we generated mice with myocardium-specific expression of FASN under control of the alpha-MHC promoter. Two different founder lines were generated with high and low FASN over-expression. Microarray gene expression profiling of heart tissue was performed of heart tissue from transgenic mice with high and low FASN expression Microarray gene expression profiling was performed with heart tissue isolated from three study groups: (i) Transgenic mice with high cardiac FASN expression, (ii) transgenic mice with low cardiac FASN expression, and (iii) B6 control mice.

Project description:Fatty acid synthase is a major enzyme involved in de novo lipogenesis, associated with energy homeostasis, lipid storage and signalling in normal liver cells. The effect of fatty acid synthase knockdown in normal liver cells (THLE 2) using siRNA mediated gene silencing were assesed for global gene deregulations. The deregulated metabolism, cell signalling and cell cycle pathway related gene expressions were analysed. Statistical significance values were also recorded. This expermental analysis clearly points to a important biochemical role for FASN in normal liver cell physiology. Total RNA was extracted from the THLE 2 cells transfected with FASN siRNA at 48h, along with its untransfected control cells. cDNA converted samples were run on microarray platform- Illumina HumanHT-12 V4.0 expression beadchip

Project description:Myelination calls for a tremendous surge in cell metabolism towards lipids and membrane production. However, functional relevance of de novo fatty acid synthesis in myelinating cells remains unclear. We generated mutant mice in which the enzyme fatty acid synthase (FASN) was depleted conditionally in Schwann cells, the myelinating glial cells of the peripheral nervous system. To address how lack of FASN was affecting the development of the peripheral nervous system, we screened with an Affymetrix Transcriptomic approach the transcriptome of sciatic nerves and roots of P60 FASN mutant mice, comparing to control mice.

Project description:Cigarette smoke has been demonstrated to stimulate the growth of existing bladder tumors by enhancing the survival and proliferation of cancer cells through the action of carcinogens present in smoke. Concurrently, Fatty Acid Synthase (FASN), a key enzyme in fatty acid synthesis crucial for lipid metabolism, exhibits dysregulation in various cancer types, often correlating with aggressive phenotypes. In this study, we reveal altered fatty acid metabolism and elevated FASN and fatty acid levels, specifically in current smokers with bladder cancer (BLCA). Notably, increased FASN levels under smoke exposure are attributed to epigenetic alterations affecting fatty acid metabolism. Cells exposed to cigarette smoke demonstrate a metabolic shift in utilizing glutamine as a carbon source and producing fatty acids. The genetic and pharmacological inhibition of FASN effectively reduces tumor growth in a CAM model exposed to smoke. FASN inhibitors like TVB 2640, currently in phase II clinical trialsclinical trials in various cancer types, may be effective for smokers with BLCA exhibiting high FASN levels. In general, FASN inhibition offers therapeutic promise for mitigating the impact of cigarette smoke on bladder cancer progression.

Project description:Fate and behaviour of neural progenitor cells is tightly regulated during mammalian brain development. Metabolic pathways, such as glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation, that are required for supplying energy and providing molecular building blocks to generate cells, govern progenitor function. However, the role of de novo lipogenesis, which is the conversion of glucose into fatty acids through the multi-enzyme protein fatty acid synthase (FASN), for brain development remains unknown. Using Emx1Cre-mediated, tissue-specific deletion of Fasn in the mouse embryonic telencephalon, we show that loss of FASN causes severe microcephaly, largely due to altered polarity of apical, radial glia progenitors (APs) and reduced progenitor proliferation. Further, genetic deletion and pharmacological inhibition of FASN in human embryonic stem cell (ESC)-derived forebrain organoids identifies a conserved role of FASN-dependent lipogenesis for radial glia cell polarity and progenitor expansion in the developing human forebrain. Thus, our data establish a role of de novo lipogenesis for mouse and human brain development and identify a link between progenitor cell polarity and lipid metabolism.

Project description:Mechanisms controlling the proliferative activity of neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) play a pivotal role to ensure life-long neurogenesis in the mammalian brain. How metabolic programs are coupled with NSPC activity remains unknown. Here we show that fatty acid synthase (FASN), the key enzyme of de novo lipogenesis, is highly active in adult NSPCs and that conditional deletion of FASN in NSPCs impairs adult neurogenesis. The rate of de novo lipid synthesis and subsequent proliferation of NSPCs is regulated by Spot14, a gene we found to be selectively expressed in low proliferating adult NSPCs. Spot14 reduces the availability of malonyl-CoA, which is an essential substrate for FASN to fuel lipogenesis. Thus, we here identified a functional coupling between the regulation of lipid metabolism and adult NSPC proliferation. 6 samples were analyzed.
