Project description:The small-molecule inhibitor of phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase, NCT-503, reduces incorporation of glucose-derived carbons into serine in vitro. Here we describe an off-target effect of NCT-503 in neuroblastoma cell lines expressing divergent phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) levels and single-cell clones with CRISPR-Cas9-directed PHGDH knockout or their respective wildtype controls. NCT-503 treatment strongly reduced synthesis of glucose-derived citrate in all cell models investigated compared to the inactive drug control and independent of PHGDH expression level. Incorporation of glucose-derived carbons entering the TCA cycle via pyruvate carboxylase was enhanced by NCT-503 treatment. The activity of citrate synthase was not altered by NCT-503 treatment. We also detected no change in the thermal stabilisation of citrate synthase in cellular thermal shift assays from NCT-503-treated cells. Thus, the direct cause of the observed off-target effect remains enigmatic. Our findings highlight off-target potential within a metabolic assessment of carbon usage in cells treated with the small-molecule inhibitor, NCT-503.

Project description:D-3-Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (Phgdh; EC 1.1.1.95) is a necessary enzyme for de novo L-serine biosynthesis via the phosphorylated pathway. We demonstrated previously that Phgdh is expressed exclusively by neuroepithelium and radial glia in developing mouse brain and later mainly by astrocytes. Mutations in the human PHGDH gene cause serine deficiency disorders (SDD) associated with severe neurological symptoms such as congenital microcephaly, psychomotor retardation, and intractable seizures. We recently demonstrated that genetically engineered mice, in which the gene for Phgdh has been disrupted, have significantly decreased levels of serine and glycine, and exhibit malformation of brain such as microcephaly. The Phgdh null (KO) embryos exhibit lethal phenotype after gestational day 14, indicating that the phosphorylated pathway is essential for embryogenesis, especially for brain development. It is worth noting that the Phgdh knockout (KO) embryos primarily displayed microcephaly, which is the most conspicuous phenotype of patients with SDD. Thus, Phgdh KO mice are a useful animal model for studying the effect of diminished L-serine levels on development of the central nervous system and other organs. To better understand the mechanism underlying the molecular pathogenesis of SDD, we sought to examine whether gene expression is altered in the Phgdh KO mouse model. We identify genes that have altered expression in the head of the Phgdh KO embryos using the GeneChip array. Some of the genes identified by this method belong in functional categories that are relevant to the biochemical and morphological aberrations of the Phgdh deletion. Experiment Overall Design: Total RNA samples were prepared from head tissues from 2 embryos of Phgdh knockout and littermate wild-type controls. Experiment Overall Design: RNA of 4 biological replicates was hybridized to Affymetrix Mouse Genome 430 2.0 arrays. Five microgram total RNA was labelled according to the ENZO-protocol, fragmented and hybridized according to Affymetrix's protocols.

Project description:Cancer metastasis requires the transient activation of cellular programs enabling dissemination and seeding in distant organs. Genetic, transcriptional and translational heterogeneity contributes to this dynamic process. Metabolic heterogeneity has also been observed, yet its role for cancer progression is less explored. Here, we discover that loss of phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) potentiates metastatic dissemination. Specifically, we find that heterogeneous or low PHGDH expression in primary tumors of breast cancer patients is associated with decreased metastasis free survival time. In mice, circulating tumor cells and early metastatic lesions are enriched with PHGDH low cancer cells and silencing PHGDH in primary tumors increases metastasis formation. Mechanistically, PHGDH protein interacts with the glycolytic enzyme phosphofructokinase (PFK) and the loss of this interaction activates the hexosamine – sialic acid pathway, which provides precursors for protein glycosylation. Consequently, aberrant protein glycosylation including increased sialylation of integrin αvβ3 occurs, which potentiates cell migration and invasion. Inhibition of sialic acid metabolism counteracts the metastatic capacity of PHGDH low cancer cells. In conclusion, while the catalytic activity of PHGDH supports cancer cell proliferation, low PHGDH protein expression non-catalytically potentiates cancer dissemination and metastasis formation. Thus, the presence of PHDGH heterogeneity in primary tumors may be considered a sign of tumor aggressiveness.

Project description:Here we show under glucose deficiency PHGDH is phosphorylated by p38 at Ser371, which promotes the cytosol-localized PHGDH translocation into the nucleus. Meanwhile, AMPK concurrently phosphorylates PHGDH-Ser55 and selectively increases PHGDH catalytic activity against malate oxidation, thus pushing the reduction of NAD+ towards NADH generation. In the nucleus, the altered PHGDH activity positively regulates NADH/NAD+ ratio and thus restricts NAD+ level, and thereby leads to repression of NAD+-dependent PARP1 activity. Moreover, PHGDH is found to be associated with Ser73-phosphorylated c-Jun and specifically inhibits PARP1-mediated c-Jun poly(ADP-ribosyl)ation, which accordingly led to the impaired c-Jun transcriptional activity against genes expression linking to cell growth inhibition.

Project description:Phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) has emerged as a crucial factor in facilitating macromolecule synthesis, neutralizing oxidative stress, and regulating methylation reactions in cancer cells, lymphocytes, and endothelial cells. However, the role of PHGDH in tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) remains poorly understood. Here, we find that T helper 2 (Th2) cytokine interleukin-4 and the tumor-conditioned media increase the expression of PHGDH in macrophages and promote immunosuppressive M2 activation and proliferation. Loss of PHGDH disrupts cellular metabolism and mitochondrial respiration essential for immunosuppressive macrophages. Mechanistically, PHGDH-mediated serine biosynthesis promotes α-ketoglutarate production, which activates mTORC1 signaling and contributes to the maintenance of a M2-like macrophage phenotype in the tumor microenvironment. Genetically ablating PHGDH in macrophages of tumor-bearing mice results in attenuated tumor growth, reduced TAM infiltration, a phenotypic shift of M2-like TAMs towards an M1-like phenotype and enhanced anti-tumor T cell immunity. Our study provides a strong basis for further exploration of PHGDH as a potential target to counteract TAM-mediated immunosuppression and hinder tumor progression.

Project description:Serine synthesis is crucial for tumor growth and survival, but its regulatory mechanism in cancer remains elusive. Here, using integrative metabolomics and transcriptomics analyses, we show a heterogeneity between metabolite and transcript profiles. Specifically, the level of serine in HCC tissues is increased, whereas the expression of phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), the first rate-limiting enzyme in serine biosynthesis pathway, is dramatically downregulated. Interestingly, the increased serine level is obtained by enhanced PHGDH catalytic activity due to protein arginine methyltransferase 1 (PRMT1)-mediated methylation of PHGDH at arginine 236. PRMT1-mediated PHGDH methylation and activation potentiates serine synthesis, ameliorates oxidative stress, and promotes HCC growth in vitro and in vivo. FBXO7, an E3 ubiquitin ligase which is downregulated in human HCC tissues, ubiquitinates and downregulates PRMT1 to suppress PHGDH methylation and serine synthesis, leading to the inhibition of HCC cell growth. Furthermore, PRMT1-mediated PHGDH methylation correlates with PHGDH hyperactivation and serine accumulation in human HCC tissues, and is predictive of poor prognosis of HCC patients. Notably, blocking PHGDH methylation with a TAT-tagged non-methylated peptide inhibits serine synthesis and restrains HCC growth, both in an HCC patient-derived xenograft (PDX) model and subcutaneous HCC cell-derived xenograft model. Overall, our findings reveal a novel regulatory mechanism of PHGDH activity and serine synthesis, and suggest PHGDH methylation as a potential therapeutic vulnerability in HCC.
