Project description:Mitochondria and Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) share structural and functional networks and activates well-orchestrated signaling processes to shape a cell’s fate and function. While persistent ER stress (ERS) response leads to mitochondrial collapse, moderate ERS condition promotes mitochondrial function. Strategies to boost anti-tumor T cell function by targeting ERMitochondria crosstalk have not been exploited yet. Thus, we used carbon monoxide (CO), a short-lived gaseous molecule, to test if engaging moderate ERS conditions can improve T cells mitochondrial function and anti-tumor function. Using melanoma antigen specific T cells, we identify that CO induced transient activation of ERS sensor ‘protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK)’ dramatically increase anti-tumor T cell function. Furthermore, COinduced PERK activation temporarily halts protein translation and induces protective autophagy (that includes mitophagy). To get further insight, we used LC3-GFP to differentiate between the cells that prepare themselves to undergo active autophagy (LC3-GFPpos) and those that fail to enter into the process (LC3-GFPneg). We found that LC3-GFPpos T cells show robust anti-tumor potential whereas, LC3-GFPneg cells show T regulatory-like phenotype, harbor dysfunctional mitochondria, and accumulate abnormal metabolite content. These anomalous ratios of metabolites render the cells with a hypermethylated state and distinct epigenetic profile limiting their anti-tumor activity. Overall, the study highlights that ERS activated autophagy pathways modify mitochondrial function and epigenetically reprogram the T cells towards a superior antitumor phenotype to achieve robust tumor control.

Project description:In response to different cellular stressors, the ISR kinases, PERK, PKR, HRI and GCN2, activate downstream transcriptional programs. While the core ISR transcription program is well characterized, markers that are specific to each individual ISR kinase activation pathway are not known. To identify markers that are induced by PERK or GCN2, but not the other ISR kinases, we subjected WT, GCN2-/-, and PERK-/- MEFs to amino acid starvation (RPMI 1640 SILAC -Lys -Arg) or Thapsigargin (200nM) treatment for 6 hours to activate the GCN2 and PERK pathways, respectively and performed RNA sequencing.

Project description:Even though cancer patients are generally considered more susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, the mechanisms driving their predisposition to severe forms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have not yet been deciphered. Since metabolic disorders are associated with homeostatic frailty, which increases the risk of infection and cancer, we asked whether we could identify immunometabolic pathways intersecting with cancer and SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thanks to a combined flow cytometry and multiomics approach, here we show that the immunometabolic traits of COVID-19 cancer patients encompass alterations in the frequency and activation status of circulating myeloid and lymphoid subsets, and that these changes are associated with i) depletion of tryptophan and its related neuromediator tryptamine, ii) accumulation of immunosuppressive tryptophan metabolites (i.e., kynurenines), and iii) low nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) availability. This metabolic imbalance is accompanied by altered expression of inflammatory cytokines in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), with a distinctive downregulation of IL-6 and upregulation of IFNg mRNA expression levels. Altogether, our findings indicate that cancer not only attenuates the inflammatory state in COVID-19 patients but also contributes to weakening their precarious metabolic state by interfering with NAD+ dependent immune homeostasis.

Project description:Here we report that the Th2 cytokine IL-4 and the tumor microenvironment activated protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK) ER stress signaling cascade to promote immunosuppressive M2 activation and proliferation. Lacking PERK signaling impeded mitochondrial respiration and lipid oxidation critical for M2 macrophages. In addition, PERK activation mediated the upregulation of PSAT1 and serine biosynthesis via the downstream transcription factor ATF4.

Project description:It is now well-accepted that cancers co-opt the microenvironment to support their growth. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying cancer-microenvironment interactions remain poorly defined. We have found that Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) activity in the epithelial component of mammary tumors selectively actuates Protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (Perk), causing the recruitment and persistent education of tumor-promoting cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), a key component of the cancer microenvironment. Analysis of tumors from mice and human patients identified Cysteine-rich with EGF-like domains 2 (CRELD2), as the paracrine factor underlying PERK-mediated CAF-education downstream of ROCK. CRELD2 expression was found to be regulated by ATF4 downstream of the PERK pathway and knock-down of CRELD2 prevented tumor progression, demonstrating that the paracrine ROCK-PERK-ATF4-CRELD2 axis is a promoter of breast cancer progression and suggesting new therapeutic opportunities.
