The serine hydroxymethyltransferase-2 (SHMT2) initiates lymphoma development through epigenetic tumor suppressor silencing

ABSTRACT: Cancer cells adapt their metabolic activities to support growth and proliferation. However, increased activity of metabolic enzymes is not usually considered an initiating event in the malignant process. Here, we investigate the possible role of the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase-2 (SHMT2) in lymphoma initiation. SHMT2 localizes to the most frequent region of copy number gains at Chr12q14.1 in lymphoma. Elevated expression of SHMT2 cooperates with BCL2 in lymphoma development and loss or inhibition of SHMT2 impairs lymphoma cell survival. SHMT2 catalyzes the conversion of serine to glycine and produces an activated one-carbon unit which can be used to support S-adenosyl methionine (SAM) synthesis. SHMT2 induces changes in DNA and histone methylation patterns leading to promoter silencing of previously uncharacterized mutational genes such as SASH1 and PTPRM. Together, our findings reveal that amplification of SHMT2 in cooperation with BCL2 is sufficient in the initiation of lymphomagenesis through epigenetic tumor suppressor silencing.

The serine hydroxymethyltransferase-2 (SHMT2) initiates lymphoma development through epigenetic tumor suppressor silencing

Project description:Cancer cells are thought to adapt their metabolic activities to support growth and proliferation. However, increased activity of metabolic enzymes is not usually considered an initiating event in the malignant process. Here we show that the enzyme serine hydroxymethyltransferase-2 (SHMT2) is sufficient to initiate lymphoma development through a surprising epigenetic mechanism. This is relevant because SHMT2 localizes to the most frequent region of copy number gains Chr12q14.1 in lymphoma and other cancers. Physiologically, SHMT2 catalyzes the conversion of serine to glycine which yields activated methyl groups in the form of S-adenosyl methionine (SAM). A modest increase in the enzyme’s physiological function is both sufficient and required for lymphoma development. SHMT2 acts as a tumor initiator by inducing changes in DNA and histone methylation patterns. In particular, we observe promoter silencing of previously uncharacterized tumor suppressor genes that are also mutational targets in lymphoma, such as the scaffold protein SASH1 and the tyrosine phosphatase PTPRM. Together, our findings reveal that amplification of the wild type SHMT2 enzyme initiates lymphoma development through epigenetic tumor suppressor silencing.

Small molecule activation of PKM in cancer cells induces serine auxotrophy

Project description:Proliferating tumor cells use aerobic glycolysis to support their high metabolic demands. Paradoxically, increased glycolysis is often accompanied by expression of the lower activity PKM isoform, effectively constraining lower glycolysis. Here, we report the discovery of novel PKM activators with a unique allosteric binding mode. Characterization of how these compounds impact cancer cells revealed an unanticipated link between glucose and amino acid metabolism. PKM activation resulted in a metabolic rewiring of cancer cells manifested by a profound dependency on the non-essential amino acid serine for continued cell proliferation. Induction of serine auxotrophy by PKM activation was accompanied by reduced carbon flow into the serine biosynthetic pathway and increased expression of high affinity serine transporters. These data support the hypothesis that PKM expression confers metabolic flexibility to cancer cells that allows adaptation to nutrient stress. A549 cancer cells were treated with compound-16 for up to 24 hours in the presence and absence of serine in the media.

Serine metabolism supports macrophage IL-1β production.

Project description:Serine is a substrate for nucleotides, NADPH and glutathione (GSH) synthesis. Previous studies in cancer cells and lymphocytes have shown that serine-dependent one-carbon units are necessary for nucleotide production to support proliferation. Presently, it is unknown whether serine metabolism impacts the function of non-proliferative cells, such as inflammatory macrophages. We find that in macrophages, serine is required for optimal lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induction of IL-1β mRNA expression, but not inflammasome activation. The mechanism involves a requirement for glycine, which is made from serine, to support macrophage glutathione (GSH) synthesis. Cell-permeable GSH, but not the one-carbon donor formate, rescues IL-1β mRNA expression. Pharmacological inhibition of de novo serine synthesis in vivo decreased LPS induction of IL-1β levels and improved survival in an LPS-driven model of sepsis in mice. Our study reveals that serine metabolism is necessary for GSH synthesis to support IL-1β cytokine production.

Smallbone2013 - Serine biosynthesis

Project description:Smallbone2013 - Serine biosynthesis Kinetic modelling of metabolic pathways in application to Serine biosynthesis. This model is described in the article: Kinetic Modeling of Metabolic Pathways: Application to Serine Biosynthesis Kieran Smallbone, Natalie J. Stanford Methods in Molecular Biology. 2013; 985:113-121 Abstract: In this chapter, we describe the steps needed to create a kinetic model of a metabolic pathway using kinetic data from both experimental measurements and literature review. Our methodology is presented by using the example of serine biosynthesis in E. coli. As there are no plots to be reproduced as curation figure, table 6 and 7 that corresponds to steady state concentration of metabolite and steady state fluxes of reactions has been reproduced.

Mutation of histone H3 serine 28 to alanine influences H3K27me3-mediated gene silencing in Arabidopsis thaliana

Project description:Histone modifications are essential for chromatin activity and play an important role in many biological processes. Trimethylation of histone H3K27 (H3K27me3) is a repressive modification established by Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). Although the presence of the histone H3 serine 28 phosphorylation (H3S28ph) modification at adjacent amino acid residues has both positive and negative effects on Polycomb silencing in mammals, little is known about the effect of H3S28ph on H3K27me3-mediated gene silencing in plants. In this study, we show that mutating H3S28A in Arabidopsis causes a dominant-negative effect that leads to an early-flowering phenotype by promoting the expression of flowering-promoting genes independently of abnormal cell division. While H3S28ph levels decreased due to the H3S28A mutation, H3K27me3 levels at the same loci did not increase. Moreover, we observed decreased H3K27me3 levels at some known PRC2 target genes in H3.3S28A transgenic lines, rather than the expected enhanced H3K27me3-mediated silencing. In line with the reduced H3K27me3 levels, the expression of the PRC2 catalytic subunits CLF and SWN decreased. Taken together, these data demonstrate that H3.3S28 is required for PRC2-dependent H3K27me3-mediated silencing in Arabidopsis, suggesting that H3S28 has a non-canonical function in H3K27me3-mediated gene silencing.
