Remote solid cancers rewire hepatic nitrogen metabolism via host nicotinamide-N-methyltransferase (AML cells)

ABSTRACT: Cancers disrupt host homeostasis in various manners but the identity of host factors underlying such disruption remains largely unknown. Here we show that nicotinamide-N-methyltransferase (NNMT) is a novel host factor that mediates metabolic dysfunction in the livers of cancer-bearing mice. Multiple solid cancers distantly increase expression of Nnmt and its product 1-methylnicotinamide (MNAM) in the liver. Multi-omics analyses reveal suppression of the urea cycle accompanied by accumulation of amino acids, and enhancement of uracil biogenesis in the livers of cancer-bearing mice. Importantly, genetic deletion of Nnmt leads to alleviation of these metabolic abnormalities, and buffers cancer-dependent weight loss and reduction of the voluntary wheel-running activity. Our data also demonstrate that MNAM is capable of affecting urea cycle metabolites in the liver. These results suggest that cancers up-regulate the hepatic NNMT pathway to rewire liver metabolism towards uracil biogenesis rather than nitrogen disposal via the urea cycle, thereby disrupting host homeostasis. Anionic polar metabolites (i.e., organic acids, sugar phosphates, nucleotides, etc.) were analyzed via IC/HR/MS/MS. Cationic polar metabolites (i.e., amino acids, bases, nucleosides, NAM, SAM, MNAM, SAH, me2PY, me4PY, etc) were analyzed via PFPP-LC/HR/MS/MS.

Wnt addiction of genetically defined cancers reversed by PORCN inhibition

Project description:Enhanced sensitivity to Wnts is an emerging hallmark of a subset of cancers, defined in part by mutations regulating the abundance of their receptors. Inhibition of Wnt secretion by blocking an essential post-translational modification, palmitoleation, provides a useful therapeutic intervention. Inhibition of PORCN in RSPO3-translocated cancers via treatment with ETC-159 causes a marked remodeling of the transcriptome, with loss of cell cycle, stem cell, and proliferation genes and an increase in differentiation markers. Inhibition of Wnt signaling by PORCN inhibition holds promise as differentiation therapy in genetically defined human cancers. RNA-seq of colorectal PDXs with confirmed R-spondin fusion genes. RNA-seq was performed in 2 conditions (Vehicle and treatment with ETC-159 (an inhibitor of PORCN) with 4 replicates per condition.

APE1 regulates the transcription of urea cycle genes through stabilizing DNA G-quadruplexes in lung adenocarcinoma [SMART-Seq2]

Project description:Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease 1 (APE1), an enzyme integral to DNA repair and redox signaling, is notably upregulated in various cancers, including LUAD. Here we reveal that APE1 amplification, primarily via allele duplication, correlates with poor prognosis in LUAD patients strongly. Using human LUAD cell models and a KRAS-driven genetically engineered mouse model (GEMM), we show that APE1 deletion hampers cell proliferation and tumor growth, highlighting its role in tumorigenesis. Mechanistically, APE1 promoted the transcription of urea cycle genes CPS1 and ARG2 by modulating the presence of G-quadruplex (G4) structures in their promoter regions. Loss of APE1 disrupts the urea cycle and pyrimidine metabolism, inducing metabolic reprogramming and growth arrest, which can be rescued by CPS1 or pyrimidine restoration. These findings uncover APE1’s role in metabolic regulation via G4-mediated transcription, providing a potential therapeutic target LUAD patients with elevated APE1 expression.

Where Does the Heme Go? Unraveling Heme and Porphyrin Metabolism in Healthy and Oncogenic Human Livers

Project description:The liver, a pivotal organ in human metabolism, serves as a primary site for heme biosynthesis, critical for detoxification and drug metabolism. Maintaining precise control over heme production is paramount in healthy livers to meet high metabolic demands while averting potential toxicity from intermediate metabolites, notably protoporphyrin IX. Intriguingly, our recent research uncovers a disrupted heme biosynthesis process termed 'Porphyrin Overdrive' in cancers, fostering the accumulation of heme intermediates, potentially bolstering tumor survival. Here, we investigate heme and porphyrin metabolism in both healthy and oncogenic human livers, utilizing primary human liver transcriptomics and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq). Our investigations unveil robust gene expression patterns in heme biosynthesis in healthy livers, supporting electron transport chain (ETC) and cytochrome P450 function, devoid of intermediate accumulation. Conversely, liver cancers exhibit impaired heme biosynthesis and massive downregulation of cytochrome P450 expression. Notably, despite diminished drug metabolism, heme supply to the ETC remains largely unaltered or even elevated with cancer progression, suggesting a metabolic priority shift. Liver cancers selectively accumulate intermediates, absent in normal tissues, implicating their role in disease advancement as inferred by expression. Furthermore, our findings establish a link between diminished drug metabolism, augmented ETC function, porphyrin accumulation, and inferior overall survival in aggressive cancers, indicating potential targets for clinical therapy development.

PGC1a and Exercise Adaptations in Zebrafish

Project description:Fish species display huge differences in physical activity ranging from lethargy to migration of thousands of miles, making them an interesting model for human exercise. Here, we show a remarkable plasticity of zebrafish in response to exercise and induction of PGC1α (encoded by PPARGC1A), a dominant regulator of mitochondrial biogenesis. Forced expression of human PPARGC1A induces mitochondrial biogenesis, an exercise-like gene expression signature, and physical fitness comparable to wild-type animals trained in counter-current swim tunnels. We quantify a stoichiometric induction of the electron transport chain (ETC) in response to exercise or PGC1α expression, identified by a proteomic SWATH-MS workflow. Exercise or PGC1α expression induce the re-organization of the ETC into respiratory supercomplexes, and we show that ndufa4/ndufa4l, previously assigned to complex I, associates to free and supramolecular complex IV in vivo. Thus, zebrafish is a useful and experimentally tractable vertebrate model to study exercise biology, including ETC expression and assembly.
