Activation of the integrated stress response rewires cardiac metabolism in Barth syndrome

ABSTRACT: Barth Syndrome (BTHS) is an inherited cardiomyopathy caused by defects in the mitochondrial transacylase TAFAZZIN (Taz), required for the synthesis of the phospholipid cardiolipin. BTHS is characterized by heart failure, increased propensity for arrhythmias and a blunted inotropic reserve. Defects in Ca2+-induced Krebs cycle activation contribute to these functional defects, but despite oxidation of pyridine nucleotides, no oxidative stress developed in the heart. Here, we investigated how retrograde signaling pathways orchestrate metabolic rewiring to compensate for mitochondrial defects. In mice with an inducible knockdown (KD) of TAFAZZIN, mitochondrial uptake and oxidation of fatty acids was strongly decreased, while glucose uptake was increased. Unbiased transcriptomic analyses revealed that the activation of the eIF2/ATF4 axis of the integrated stress response upregulates one-carbon metabolism, which diverts glycolytic intermediates towards the biosynthesis of serine and fuels the biosynthesis of glutathione. In addition, strong upregulation of the glutamate/cystine antiporter xCT increases cardiac cystine import required for glutathione synthesis. Increased glutamate uptake facilitates anaplerotic replenishment of the Krebs cycle, sustaining energy production and antioxidative pathways. These data indicate that ATF4-driven rewiring of metabolism compensates for defects in mitochondrial uptake of fatty acids to sustain energy production and antioxidation.

mTORC2 regulates amino acid metabolism in cancer by phosphorylation of the cystine-glutamate antiporter xCT

Project description:Mutations in cancer reprogram amino acid metabolism to drive tumor growth, but the molecular mechanisms are not well understood. Using an unbiased proteomic screen, we identified mTORC2 as a critical regulator of amino acid metabolism in cancer via phosphorylation of the cystine-glutamate antiporter xCT. mTORC2 phosphorylates serine 26 at the cytosolic N-terminus of xCT, inhibiting its activity. Genetic inhibition of mTORC2, or pharmacologic mTOR kinase inhibition, promotes glutamate secretion, cystine uptake and incorporation into glutathione linking growth factor receptor signaling with amino acid uptake and utilization. These results identify an unanticipated mechanism of amino acid metabolic reprogramming in cancer, enabling tumor cells to adapt to changing environmental conditions.

The mTORC1-mediated activation of ATF4 promotes protein and glutathione synthesis (Tunicamycin)

Project description:In response to a variety of upstream growth and oncogenic signals, the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) promotes anabolic metabolism, in part, through activation of downstream transcription factors. The transcription factor activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4) has been previously shown to function downstream of mTORC1 signaling to promote de novo purine synthesis and this activation of ATF4 can occur independently of the canonical activation of ATF4 through the integrated stress response (ISR). Here, we show that ATF4 activation through mTORC1 signaling drives a specific transcriptional program through ATF4 which is comprised of only a subset of genes involved in the broader cellular stress response. We find genes involved in amino acid uptake, biosynthesis, and charging by tRNA synthetases display transcriptional changes downstream of both mTORC1 and ATF4. We discovered that ATF4 activation contributes to the mTORC1-stimulated increase in protein synthesis, highlighting the importance of these transcriptional changes. Additionally, we observe regulation of the cystine transporter SLC7A11 by ATF4. We show that SLC7A11 is important for cell survival and is one mechanism by which cells with active mTORC1 signaling produce glutathione. Thus, ATF4 downstream of mTORC1 signaling regulates protein and glutathione synthesis.

Wild-type and tafazzin-deficient clones of granulocyte-monocyte progenitors (GMP), ER-HOXB8 conditionally immortalized, immature, in estrogen.

Project description:Evaluate changes in gene expression resulting from the loss of the gene TAZ (protein tafazzin). Tafazzin is an enzyme involved in cardiolipin maturation and cardiolipin is a phospholipid found only in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Gene expression profiling was performed in a murine granulocyte-monocyte progenitor in vitro cell system. We identified a limited number of changes in gene expression, which was not surprising given that the tafazzin protein is localized in the mitochondria and has a very specific enzymatic activity. Genes involved in cholesterol and fatty acid metabolism (Acss1, Acat2, Ldlr), apoptosis (Bcl2, Casp3, Casp6, Cycs), and ER-stress induced apoptosis (Ddit3, Atf4) were differentially expressed.

Hypoxia-induced cysteine metabolism reprogramming are crucial for the tumorigenesis of colorectal cancer [tissue pair]

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of human cancer and cancer-specific metabolism provide opportunities for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. However, how metabolic pathways affect the initiation and progression of colorectal cancer remain largely unknown. Here, we showed cysteine is highly enriched in colorectal tumors compared with adjacent non-tumor tissues to promote tumorigenesis of CRC. Both cystine and cysteine imports are essential to maintain intracellular cysteine level and promote tumor growth and survival. Transporter genes of cystine and cysteine are all upregulated in colorectal cancer by tumor microenvironment induced ROS through transcription factor ATF4. Glutathione synthetase GSS is upregulated and increases cysteine to reduced glutathione flux to support tumor growth and survival in colorectal cancer. Depletion of cystine and cysteine by a recombinant cyst(e)inase effectively reduced the growth of colorectal tumors. Moreover, scavenging cystine and cysteine induces autophagy of colorectal cancer cells through mTOR-ULK signaling axis. With this study, we demonstrate that cysteine metabolism is a key signature of CRC metabolic reprogramming and targeting cysteine metabolism might be an effective approach to treat colon cancer.

Super-enhancer-driven MLX mediates redox balance maintanance via SLC7A11 in osteosarcoma

Project description:A systematic analysis of super-enhancers identified MLX as a potential oncogene in osteosarcoma. Knockdown of MLX impaired tumor aggressiveness in vitro and in vivo, suggesting oncogenic properties of MLX. Mechanistically, silencing of MLX downregulates SLC7A11, a key gene encoding glutamate/cystine antiporter, to attenuate the uptake of cystine and interrupt the redox balance, leading to ferroptotic cell death. Pharmacological inhibition of SLC7A11 triggered massive ferroptosis and caused impaired tumor growth, providing a promising approach for osteosarcoma treatment.

Gene Expression Study in WT and ATF4 KO embryonic neurons

Project description:Oxidative stress is pathogenic in neurological diseases including stroke. The identity of oxidative stress-inducible transcription factors and their role(s) in propagating the death cascade are poorly understood. Microarray analysis of neurons undergoing oxidative stress showed significant induction of prodeath genes. These genes have been shown to be regulated by the bZip transcription factor, ATF4. ATF4 protein localized to the promoter of a putative death gene in neurons in vitro and in vivo. Germline deletion of ATF4 in neurons resulted in a reduction in oxidative stress-induced gene expression and resistance to oxidative death. ATF4 knockout mice experienced significantly smaller infarcts and improved behavioral recovery as compared to wild-type mice subjected to the same reductions in blood flow in a rodent model of stroke. ATF4 modulates an early, upstream event in the death pathway, as resistance to oxidative death by ATF4 deletion was associated with decreased consumption of the antioxidant glutathione. Restoration of ATF4 protein in knockout neurons was sufficient to restore sensitivity to oxidative death and to reaccelerate loss of glutathione. Together, these findings establish ATF4 as a redox-regulated, pro-death transcriptional activator in the nervous system that propagates death responses to oxidative stress in vitro and to stroke in vivo. Keywords: ATF4, oxidative stress, gene expression, neuroprotection, stroke WT and ATF4 KO embryonic neurons were studied. Untreated neurons (no=8 per genotype) and neurons challenged with oxidative stress with the glutamate homolog homocysteate (HCA, no=4 per genotype) were studied, for a total of 24 samples.

Reduced basal insulin secretion from islets isolated from tafazzin deficient mice is associated with reduced mitochondrial function

Project description:Tafazzin is a transacylase which causes the content and molecular structure of cardiolipin (CL) to be altered in the inner mitochondrial membrane. The enzymatic machinery responsible for oxidative respiration are localized to the inner mitochondrial membrane and require CL for activity. As a result, tafazzin is critical for maintaining mitochondrial function. In beta-cells, which are the insulin secreting cells in pancreatic islets, mitochondrial function is linked to insulin secretion. We previously established that tafazzin knock-down mice were lean and maintained insulin sensitivity compared to the obese insulin resistant control litter mates. However, it was unknown whether tafazzin deficiency also influenced insulin secretion in the establishment of the lean phenotype. Using X week-old mice, we ascertained that the number of beta-cells was similar between genotypes. Ex vivo insulin secretion under low glucose conditions was reduced (52%) from islets isolated from tafazzin knock-down mice. Consistent with this tafazzin knock-down mice exhibited reduced fasting insulin plasma insulin levels. Measurement of mitochondrial oxygen consumption revealed that basal oxygen consumption was reduced (58%) in islets from tafazzin-deficient animals. The addition of etomoxir, an inhibitor of mitochondrial fatty acid translocation, significantly elevated basal mitochondrial respiration (5-fold) in islets from tafazzin knockdown mice, indicating a significant fatty acid-mediated inhibitory effect. In contrast, etomoxir lacked any measurable effect on control wild-type islets. The altered mitochondrial function identified in taffazin knock-down islets was not associated with reduced CL content or elevated oxyCL species. Our experiments indicate that tafazzin plays a key role in regulating normal islet beta-cell function.

Next Generation Sequencing Facilitates Quantitative Analysis of Cystine-regulated Transcriptomes

Project description:Purpose: To identify differentially expressed genes regulated by cystine. Methods: HCT116 or RKO cells were cultured for 48 hours in cystine-free or 25μM cystine-containing conditional media, and three independent samples were collected by Trizol reagent and subjected to mRNA-sequencing by the LC Bio (Zhejiang, China) and data analysis Results: we identified cystine upregulated 145 genes and downregulated 169 genes in both HCT116 and RKO cells. GO enrichment analysis revealed that cystine regulated biological functions of G1/S transition of mitotic cell cycle and regulation of DNA replication biosynthetic process.In addition, KEGG enrichment analysis showed that mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, a well-known nutrient sensor, was regulated by cystine. Furthermore,we noticed that SESN2 was one of the most significantly downregulated genes by cystine in both cell lines, and confirmed that cystine activates mTORC1 via the GCN2-ATF4-SESN2 axis in colon cancer cells. Conclusions: Our study established that cystine activates mTORC1 through GCN2-ATF4-SESN2 axis.
