ACSL4 mediated H3K9 and H3K27 hyperacetylation upregulates SNAIL to drive TNBC metastasis

ABSTRACT: Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) has profound unmet medical need globally for its devastating clinical outcome associated with rapid metastasis and lack of targeted therapies. Recently, lipid metabolic reprogramming especially fatty acid oxidation (FAO) has emerged as a major driver of breast cancer metastasis. Analyzing the expression of major FAO regulatory genes in breast cancer, we found selective overexpression of acyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACSL4) in TNBC, which is primarily attributed by the absence of progesterone receptor (PR). Loss of ACSL4 function, by genetic ablation or pharmacological inhibition significantly reduces metastatic potential of TNBC. Global transcriptome analysis reveals that ACSL4 activity positively influences the gene expression related to TNBC migration and invasion. Mechanistically, ACSL4 modulates FAO and intracellular acetyl-CoA levels, leading to hyper-acetylation of particularly H3K9ac and H3K27ac marks resulting in overexpression of SNAIL during the course of TNBC metastatic spread to lymph node and lung. Further, human TNBC metastasis exhibits positive correlation among ACSL4, H3K9ac, H3K27ac, and SNAIL expression. Altogether, our findings provide new molecular insights regarding the intricate interplay between metabolic alterations and epigenetic modifications, intertwined to orchestrate TNBC metastasis and posit a rational understanding for the development of ACSL4 inhibitors as a targeted therapy against TNBC.

Fatty acid oxidation protects cancer cells from apoptosis through increasing mitochondrial membrane lipids

Project description:<p>Overcoming resistance to chemotherapies remains a major unmet need for cancers such as triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Therefore, mechanistic studies to provide insight for drug development are urgently needed to overcome TNBC therapy resistance. Recently, an important role of fatty acid β-Oxidation (FAO) in chemoresistance has been shown. But how FAO might mitigate tumor cell apoptosis by chemotherapy is unclear. Here, we show that elevated FAO activates STAT3 by acetylation via elevated acetyl-CoA. Acetylated STAT3 upregulates expression of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACSL4), resulting in increased phospholipid synthesis. Elevating phospholipids in mitochondrial membranes leads to heightened mitochondrial integrity, which in turn overcomes chemotherapy-induced tumor cell apoptosis. Conversely, in both cultured tumor cells and xenograft tumors, enhanced cancer cell apoptosis by inhibiting ASCL4 or specifically targeting acetylated-STAT3 is associated with a reduction in phospholipids within mitochondrial membranes. This study demonstrates a critical mechanism underlying tumor cell chemoresistance.</p>

The effect of ACSL4 expression on overall gene expression in breast cancer cell lines

Project description:ACSL4 expression appears to be inversely associated with steroid hormone and growth factor receptor expression in breast cancer and positively correlated with an aggressive breast cancer phenotype. Neither MCF-7 nor SKBr3 cells normally express ACSL4, and when manipulated to do so, develop basal-like characteristics, including increased proliferation, migration and anchorage independent growth. We used an Affymetrix array platform to assess changes in individual gene expression as a function of conditional and stable expression of ACSL4 in MCF-7 and SKBr3 cells. In experiment 1, MCF-7 Tet-ON cells were transfected with ACSL4 cDNA and induced to express ACSL4 by addition of 1ug/ml of doxycycline (A) or vehicle (C) for 72 hours. Three controls (C) and three doxycycline-induced (A) samples were evaluated for gene expression. In experiment 2, MCF-7 cells were stably transfected with either an empty vector (C) or Lenti-ORF-ACSL4 (A). In experiment 3, SKBr3 cells were stably transfected with either an empty vector (C) or Lenti-ORF-ACSL4 (A).

CRISPR/Cas9 screens reveal that hexokinase 2 enhances cancer stemness and tumorigenicity

Project description:We identified that HK2 facilitate the maintenance and self-renewal of liver cancer stem cells (CSCs). Moreover, HK2 exerts its function by enhancing the accumulation of acetyl-CoA and epigenetically activating the transcription of acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 4 (ACSL4), leading to an increase in fatty acid β-oxidation (FAO) activity.

Project description:In order to investigate the differentially expressed genes in Acsl4 knockout after TAC (Transverse aortic constriction) or sham surgery. The experiment was divided to four groups including sham-operated Acsl4 flox/flox mice (FS), sham-operated Acsl4 knockout mice (KS), TAC-operated Acsl4 flox/flox mice (FT), TAC-operated Acsl4 knockout mice (KT) n=3 mice/group. The heart tissue was isolated after 21 days after performing TAC or sham surgery.

Acsl4 Determines Ferroptosis Sensitivity by Shaping Cellular Lipid Composition

Project description:Ferroptosis is a form of regulated necrotic cell death controlled by glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4). At present, mechanisms that could predict sensitivity and/or resistance and that may be exploited to modulate this form of cell death are needed. We applied two independent approaches, a genome-wide CRISPR-based genetic screen and microarray analysis of ferroptosis-resistant cell lines to uncover acyl-CoA synthetase long-chain family member 4 (Acsl4) as an essential component for ferroptosis execution.

ACSL4 and polyunsaturated lipids support metastatic extravasation and colonization

Project description:Metastasis is the leading cause of the cancer-related death. To systemically study the dependent factors impacting cancer metastasis, we conducted serial transplantation to obtain ES-2-MC2-Liver cells, a cell line with high metastatic efficiency. We then performed in vivo CRISPR screen using phosphatase and metabolism-focused sgRNA library and ranked differential targeting genes. For further validating the identified gene essentialities in previous results, we generated a mini-library targeting the top-depleted and -enriched genes in metastatic organs and performed in vivo CRISPR screen on ES-2-MC2-Liver cells and SKHEP1 cells. Notably, polyunsaturated lipids synthase, ACSL4, displayed as the top perturbed hits among the lung-specific metastatic mediators. We also evaluated enzymes involved in unsaturated fatty acids degradation were dispensable for metastatic tumor colonization. Taken together, our results systemically study the mediators of cancer metastasis and established the dual functions of PUFA-lipids in tumor progression and metastasis that may be exploitable for therapeutic development.
