Project description:How butyrate interrupts the metabolism of cancer cells and leads to the suppression of cell proliferation remains unclear. We employed a metabolomics-proteomics combined approach to explore the link between butyrate-mediated proliferation arrest and cell metabolism. Metabolomics study revealed a remodeled metabolic profile with pronounced accumulation of pyruvate. A proteomics-based approach reveals PKM2 as a direct target of butyrate. it activates PKM2 via promoting its dephosphorylation and tetramerization.Our study provides a mechanistic link between PKM2-induced metabolic remodeling and the anti-tumorigenic function of butyrate.

Project description:Pyruvate kinase (Pyk) is a rate-limiting enzyme that catalyzes the final metabolic reaction in glycolysis. The importance of this enzyme, however, extends far beyond ATP production, as Pyk is also known to regulate tissue growth, cell proliferation, and development. Studies of this enzyme in Drosophila melanogaster, however, are complicated by the fact the fly genome encodes six Pyk paralogs and the function of these individual genes remain poorly defined. To address this issue, we used a phylogenetic approach to demonstrate that the gene Pyk encodes the enzyme most similar to the mammalian Pyk orthologs while the other five Drosophila Pyk have significantly diverged from the canonical enzyme. Consistent with this observation, metabolomic studies of two different Pyk mutant backgrounds revealed that larvae lacking Pyk exhibit a severe block in glycolysis, with a buildup of glycolytic intermediates upstream of pyruvate. However, our analysis also unexpectantly reveals that steady state pyruvate levels are unchanged in Pyk mutants, indicating that larval metabolism maintains pyruvate pool size despite severe metabolic limitations. Consistent with our metabolomics findings, a complementary RNAseq analysis revealed that genes involved in lipid metabolism and peptidase activity are elevated in Pyk mutants, again indicating that loss of this glycolytic enzyme induces compensatory changes in other aspects of metabolism. Overall, our study provides both insight towards understanding how Drosophila larval metabolism adapts to disruption of glycolytic metabolism and immediate clinical relevance considering that Pyk deficiency is the most common congenital enzymatic defect in humans.

Project description:MicroRNA-1 (miR-1) is the most abundant miRNA in adult skeletal muscle. To determine the function of miR-1 in adult skeletal muscle, we generated an inducible, skeletal muscle-specific miR-1 knockout (KO) mouse. Integration of RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) data from miR-1 KO muscle with Argonaute 2 enhanced crosslinking and immunoprecipitation sequencing (AGO2 eCLIP-seq) from human skeletal muscle identified miR-1 target genes involved with glycolysis and pyruvate metabolism. The loss of miR-1 in skeletal muscle induced cancer-like metabolic reprogramming, as shown by higher pyruvate kinase muscle isozyme M2 (PKM2) protein levels, which promoted glycolysis. Comprehensive bioenergetic and metabolic phenotyping combined with skeletal muscle proteomics and metabolomics further demonstrated that miR-1 KO induced metabolic inflexibility as a result of pyruvate oxidation resistance. While the genetic loss of miR-1 reduced endurance exercise performance in mice and in C. elegans, the physiological down-regulation of miR-1 expression in response to a hypertrophic stimulus in both humans and mice may cause a similar metabolic reprogramming that supports muscle cell growth. Taken together, these data identify a novel post-translational mechanism of adult skeletal muscle metabolism regulation mediated by miR-1.

Project description:Beta cell dysfunction, caused by metabolic and inflammatory stress, contributes to the development of type 2 diabetes. Butyrate, produced by the gut microbiota, has shown beneficial effects on glucose metabolism and may directly affect beta cell function, but the mechanisms are poorly described. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of butyrate on IL-1β-induced β cell dysfunction. We showed that long-term exposure of mouse islets to non-cytotoxic concentrations of IL-1β impaired insulin secretion and content and reduced proliferation. This dysfunction was prevented when the islets were exposed to butyrate and butyrate alone also boosted insulin secretion. In contrast, butyrate further downregulated the proliferation. To get a better indication of mechanisms of actions we investigated the global mRNA expression profiles using RNA sequencing. Our results indicated that the protective effects of butyrate are associated with upregulation of secretion/transport-related genes and downregulation of inflammatory genes induced by IL-1β. In addition, several cell cycle related genes were strongly inhibited by butyrate. In conclusion, butyrate plays an essential role in supporting beta cell function under inflammatory conditions, suggesting a potential for therapeutic use in treatment and prevention of T2D.

Project description:Mycobacterium tuberculosis has specialised its metabolism to reside extra- and intra-cellularly in the human host. Nutrient availability and their concentrations can vary dramatically in these niches. Lactate is abundant during infection and it is an important signalling molecule regulating the immune response. In addition, lactate is abundant in blood, epithelial mucosa and a number of other relevant compartments in the host. Interestingly, previous studies have demonstrated that lactate and one of its possible first degradation products, pyruvate, allow superior growth compared to glucose and fatty acids in vitro for M. tuberculosis. Based on this information, we performed a "multi-omics" investigation to study the metabolism of pyruvate and lactate in M. tuberculosis. We employed TraDIS, transcriptomics, proteomics and stable isotopic labelling coupled with mass spectrometry-based metabolomics. Our studies reveal the structure of M. tuberculosis metabolic network associated with catabolism of pyruvate and lactate. Together these findings lead us to reconsider some well-accepted "truths" on carbon metabolism in M. tuberculosis.

Project description:Drosophila melanogaster was used to investigate the influence of microbiota-derived intestinal flora and its metabolites on host transcriptional regulation by adding sodium butyrate to a sterile diet for constructing a sterile Drosophila model. In order to further investigate the effects of sodium butyrate on Drosophila melanogaster at the molecular mechanism level, we detected the abundance and composition of midgut microbial colonies based on 16S rRNA gene sequences, and analyzed the overall structure and metabolic activities of host transcriptional networks by combining transcriptome and non-target metabolomics data.

Project description:Metabolic reprogramming an immune evasion are established hallmarks of the tumor microenvironment (TME). Growing evidence supports tumor metabolic dysregulation as an important mediator of tumor immune evasion. High TME levels of lactate potently suppress antitumor immunity. Pyruvate carboxylase (PC), responsible for the anaplerotic conversion of pyruvate to oxaloacetate, is essential for lung metastasis in breast cancer. Conversely, PC may be dispensable in some cells in the TME, with loss of PC associated with immunosuppression. Here we test whether PC suppression alters tumor metabolism and immunosuppression. Using multiple animal models of breast cancer, we identify a dimorphic role for PC expression in mammary cancer cells. PC supports metastatic colonization of the lungs; however, depletion of PC promotes primary tumor growth and suppresses histological and transcriptomic markers of antitumor immunity. We demonstrate that PC is potently suppressed by hypoxia, and that PC suppression is common in solid tumors, particularly those with higher levels of hypoxia. Using metabolomics, high resolution respirometry, and extracellular flux analysis, we show that PC-depleted cells produce more lactate and undergo less oxidative phosphorylation than scramble controls. Finally, we identify lactate metabolism as a targetable dependency of PC-depleted cells, which is sufficient to restore T cell populations to the TME of PC-depleted tumors. Taken together these data demonstrate that elevated lactate following PC suppression by hypoxia may be a key mechanism through which primary tumors limit antitumor immunity. Thus, these data highlight PC directed tumor metabolism is a nexus of tumor progression and antitumor immunity.

Project description:Changes in cellular metabolism contribute to the development and progression of tumors, and can render tumors vulnerable to interventions. However, studies of human cancer metabolism remain limited due to technical challenges of detecting and quantifying small molecules, the highly interconnected nature of metabolic pathways, and the lack of designated tools to analyze and integrate metabolomics with other âomics data. Our study generates the largest comprehensive metabolomics dataset on a single cancer type, and provides a significant advance in integration of metabolomics with sequencing data. Our results highlight the massive re-organization of cellular metabolism as tumors progress and acquire more aggressive features. The results of our work are made available through an interactive public data portal for cancer research community. 10 RNA samples from human ccRCC tumors analyzed from the high glutathione cluster
