Gliocidin is a nicotinamide mimetic prodrug that targets glioblastoma

ABSTRACT: Glioblastoma is incurable and in urgent need of improved therapeutics. We identify a small compound, Gliocidin, that kills glioblastoma cells while sparing nontumor replicative cells. Gliocidin activity targets a de novo purine synthesis vulnerability in glioblastoma through indirect inhibition of inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase 2 (IMPDH2). IMPDH2 blockade reduces intracellular guanine nucleotide levels causing nucleotide imbalance, replication stress, and tumor cell death. Gliocidin is a prodrug anabolized into its tumoricidal metabolite, Gliocidin-adenine dinucleotide (GAD), by the enzyme nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferase (NMNAT1) of the NAD+ salvage pathway. The cryo-EM structure of GAD together with IMPDH2 demonstrates its entry, deformation, and blockade of the NAD+ pocket. In vivo, Gliocidin penetrates the blood brain barrier and extends orthotopic murine glioblastoma mouse survival. The DNA alkylating agent, temozolomide, induces Nmnat1 expression causing synergistic tumor killing and additional survival benefit in orthotopic patient-derived xenograft models. This study brings Gliocidin to light as a prodrug with potential to improve the survival of glioblastoma patients.

Transcriptomic effects of nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferase 1 (NMNAT1) deletion on human AML cells

Project description:Through integration of whole genome CRISPR screening and pan-cancer genetic dependency mapping, we identified nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT) and nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferase 1 (NMNAT1) as acute myeloid leukemia (AML) dependencies governing NAD+ biosynthesis. While both NAMPT and NMNAT1 were required for AML, we found that the presence of NAD+ precursors bypassed the dependence of AML on NAMPT, but not NMNAT1, pointing to NMNAT1 as a gatekeeper of NAD+ biosynthesis. We provide evidence that reduced nuclear NAD+ upon deletion of NMNAT1 activated p53, which is due to attenuated deacetylation by SIRT6/7 in AML cells. Our findings reveal that NAD+ is a critical metabolic foundation for AML, and NMNAT1 is a novel therapeutic target for this disease.

Nuclear NAD+-biosynthetic enzyme NMNAT1 facilitates survival of developing retinal neurons

Project description:Despite mounting evidence that the mammalian retina is exceptionally reliant on proper NAD+ homeostasis for health and function, the specific roles of subcellular NAD+ pools in retinal development, maintenance, and disease remain obscure. Here, we show that deletion of the nuclear-localized NAD+ synthase nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyltransferase-1 (NMNAT1) in the developing murine retina causes early and severe degeneration of photoreceptors and select inner retinal neurons via multiple distinct cell death pathways. This severe phenotype is associated with disruptions to retinal central carbon metabolism, purine nucleotide synthesis, and amino acid pathways. Furthermore, large-scale transcriptomics reveals dysregulation of a collection of photoreceptor and synapse-specific genes in NMNAT1 knockout retinas prior to detectable morphological or metabolic alterations. Collectively, our study reveals previously unrecognized complexity in NMNAT1-associated retinal degeneration and suggests a yet-undescribed role for NMNAT1 in gene regulation during photoreceptor terminal differentiation.

Nuclear IMPDH2 controls the DNA damage response by modulating PARP1 activity

Project description:Nuclear metabolism and DNA damage response are intertwined processes, but the precise molecular connections remain elusive. Here, we delve into this crosstalk using as a model triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a subtype often prone to DNA damage accumulation. We reveal that the de novo purine synthesis enzyme Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase 2 (IMPDH2) is enriched on chromatin in TNBC when compared to other subtypes. IMPDH2 chromatin localization is DNA damage dependent and IMPDH2 repression leads to DNA damage accumulation. On chromatin, IMPDH2 interacts and modulates Poly [ADP-ribose] polymerase 1 (PARP1) activity by controlling nuclear availability of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) -a shared metabolic cofactor- to fine-tune the DNA damage response. However, when IMPDH2 is restricted to the nucleus, it depletes nuclear NAD+, leading to PARP1 cleavage and cell death. Our study identifies a non-canonical nuclear role for IMPDH2 that act as convergence point of nuclear metabolism and DNA damage response. # Contributed equally *Corresponding authors: sara.sdelci@crg.eu; marta.garciacao@crg.eu

NAD+ repletion inhibits accelerated aging in Werner syndrome through the restoration of mitophagy

Project description:Metabolic dysfunction is a primary feature of the premature aging Werner syndrome (WS), a heritable human disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding the DNA helicase Werner (WRN). However, the relationship between WRN mutation and its severe metabolic phenotypes is unclear. Here we report mitochondrial dysfunction and depletion of NAD+, a fundamental ubiquitous cofactor, in WS patient samples and WS animal models. NAD+ repletion restores NAD+ metabolic profiles and improves mitochondrial quality through DCT-1 and ULK-1-dependent mitophagy. At the organismal level, NAD+ repletion remarkably delays accelerated aging, including stem cell dysfunction in both C. elegans and Drosophila models of WS. Mechanistically, WRN physically binds to a key NAD+ biosynthetic enzyme nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferase 1 (NMNAT1) and facilitates its NAD+ production. Our findings reveal an unprecedented anti-aging mechanism of WRN that integrates its new function of NAD+ synthesis to coordinate mitochondrial maintenance and energy expenditure, and suggest therapeutic potential.

Nuclear IMPDH2 controls the DNA damage response by modulating PARP1 activity

Project description:Recent studies have highlighted the critical role of metabolism in the response to DNA damage. However, the precise metabolic interactions that are set in motion to tune this fundamental process remain largely unknown. In this study, we investigated the role of nuclear metabolism in the DNA damage response using triple-negative breast cancer as a model. By comparing the chromatin-associated proteome of different breast cancer subtypes, we observed that the purine synthesis enzyme Inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase 2 (IMPDH2) is enriched in the chromatin of triple-negative breast cancer cells, which are often prone to DNA damage accumulation. Downregulation, depletion, or inhibition of IMPDH2 leads to accumulation of DNA damage. IMPDH2 chromatin localization is DNA damage dose dependent and happens at a late stage of the DNA damage repair. On chromatin, IMPDH2 interacts with PARP1. The enzymatic function of IMPDH2, which consumes NAD+, modulates PARP1 activity, thus mediating a pondered DNA damage response. However, forcing the nuclear localization of exogenous IMPDH2 provokes a dramatic NAD+ depletion that results in PARP1 cleavage and consequent cytoplasmic translocation, which mediates apoptosis. Our study identifies a moonlighting role for IMPDH2 in the control of nuclear ATP and NAD+ level, which fine-tune the activation of PARP1 and regulates the DNA damage response.

NAD+ augmentation restores mitophagy and limits accelerated aging in Werner syndrome

Project description:Metabolic dysfunction is a primary feature of Werner syndrome (WS), a human premature aging disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding the Werner (WRN) DNA helicase. WS patients exhibit severe metabolic phenotypes, but the underlying mechanisms are not understood, and whether the metabolic deficit can be targeted for therapeutic intervention has not been determined. Here we report impaired mitophagy and depletion of NAD+, a fundamental ubiquitous molecule, in WS patient samples and WS invertebrate models. WRN regulates transcription of a key NAD+ biosynthetic enzyme nicotinamide nucleotide adenylyltransferase 1 (NMNAT1). NAD+ repletion restores NAD+ metabolic profiles and improves mitochondrial quality through DCT-1 and ULK-1-dependent mitophagy. At the organismal level, NAD+ repletion remarkably extends lifespan and delays accelerated aging, including stem cell dysfunction, in C. elegans and Drosophila melanogaster models of WS. Our findings suggest that accelerated aging in WRN syndrome is mediated by impaired mitochondrial function and mitophagy, and that bolstering cellular NAD+ levels counteracts WS phenotypes.

Comprehensive gene expression profile of mouse explant retinas expressing shNmnat1, shNmnat2, Nmnat1 and Nmnat2

Project description:Nmnat1 and Nmnat2 are NAD synthases that localize to the nucleus and cytoplasm, respectively. They contribute to not only metabolic pathway but also the gene expression through the regulation of NAD-dependent enzymes. Both genes have been shown to be essential for normal retinal development, but the differences between these downstream factors are not well understood. In this study, we performed RNA-sequencing using mouse retinal explants transfected with control, Nmnat1-, Nmnat2-, shNmnat1-, shNmnat2-expressing plasmids. Mouse retinas at postnatal day 0.5 were electroporated with the plasmids and cultured for 3 days. EGFP-expressing cells were purified by a cell sorter, and RNA-seq was carried out.

IMP dehydrogenase-2 drives aberrant nucleolar activity and structure in glioblastoma

Project description:Ribonucleotides serve important cellular functions as energy carriers, signaling molecules and building blocks of RNA. In eukaryotes, rRNA and tRNA synthesis in the nucleolus accounts together for over 90% of all RNA molecules. In many cancers, high proliferation rates correlated with elevation of rRNA and tRNA levels4 and nucleolar hypertrophy. However, the metabolic changes that lead to the increased nucleolar transcription and in turn foster tumorigenesis are incompletely understood. Here we show that in the highly lethal brain cancer glioblastoma (GBM), inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase-2 (IMPDH2), the rate-limiting enzyme for de novo guanine nucleotide biosynthesis, is overexpressed. This leads to increased rRNA and tRNA synthesis and stabilization of the oncogenic GTP-binding protein nucleostemin, and enlarged and malformed nucleoli. Pharmacological or genetic inactivation of IMPDH2 reverses these malignant effects and inhibits GBM cell proliferation, whereas untransformed glia cells are unaffected. Impairment of IMPDH2 activity triggers nucleolar stress and growth arrest of GBM cells even in the absence of functional p53. Our results have uncovered upregulation of IMPDH2 as a prerequisite for aberrant nucleolar function and translational capacity in GBM. This GTP metabolic reprogramming constitutes a primary event in gliomagenesis and has implications for GBM treatment and possible malignant transformation in other cancers.
