Project description:To investigate the mechanism of BCAT1 in mediating resistance to third-generation EGFR-TKI, we employed RNA-seq analysis to compare the transcriptome signature of ASK120067-resistant NSCLC cells with or without BCAT1 knockdown. Here, gene set enrichment (GSEA) revealed a significant decrease in the expression of genes in glycolysis pathway following small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated BCAT1 knockdown, which indicated the role for BCAT1 in supporting TKI resistance through upregulation of glycolysis.

Project description:High levels of branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) transaminase 1 (Bcat1) have been associated with adverse prognosis and drug resistance in several cancer types. However, the mechanistic role of Bcat1 in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) development is ill defined. Here, we used a mouse T-ALL model to show that Bcat1 is required for T-ALL development and maintenance. Using a NOTCH1 gain-of-function retroviral model of T-ALL, mouse cells genetically deficient for Bcat1 showed defects in developing leukemia. Amongst the pathways upregulated in Bcat1 KO delta E-NOTCH1 cells we found “DNA repair”, “apoptosis”, and “p53 pathway”. We thus hypothesize that Bcat1 may be implicated in cell cycle progression or apoptosis of T-ALL cells.

Project description:The branched chain amino acid (BCAA) pathway and high levels of BCAA transaminase 1 (BCAT1) have recently been associated with aggressiveness in several cancer entities. However, the mechanistic role of BCAT1 in this process remains largely uncertain. By performing high-resolution proteomic analysis of human acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) stem cell (LSC) and non-LSC populations, we found the BCAA pathway enriched and BCAT1 overexpressed in LSCs. We show that BCAT1, which transfers α-amino groups from BCAAs to α-ketoglutarate (αKG), is a critical regulator of intracellular αKG homeostasis. Next to its role in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle αKG is an essential co-factor for αKG-dependent dioxygenases such as EGLN1 and the TET family of DNA demethylases. Knockdown of BCAT1 in leukaemia cells caused accumulation of αKG leading to HIF1a protein degradation mediated by EGLN1. This resulted in a growth and survival defect and abrogated leukaemia-initiating potential. In contrast, overexpression (OE) of BCAT1 in leukaemia cells decreased intracellular αKG levels and caused DNA hypermethylation via altered TET activity. BCAT1high AMLs displayed a DNA hypermethylation phenotype similar to cases carrying mutant isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDHmut), in which TET2 is inhibited by the oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate. High levels of BCAT1 strongly correlate with shorter overall survival in IDHwtTET2wt, but not IDHmut or TET2mut AMLs. Gene sets characteristic for IDHmut AMLs were enriched in IDHwtTETwtBCAT1high patient samples. BCAT1high AMLs showed robust enrichment for LSC signatures and paired sample analysis revealed a significant increase of BCAT1 levels upon disease relapse. In summary, by limiting intracellular αKG, BCAT1 links BCAA catabolism to HIF1a stability and regulation of the epigenomic landscape. Our results suggest the BCAA-BCAT1-αKG pathway as a therapeutic target to compromise LSC function in IDHwtTET2wt AML patients.
