Project description:Overcoming resistance to chemotherapies remains a major unmet need for cancers such as triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). Therefore, mechanistic studies to provide insight for drug development are urgently needed to overcome TNBC therapy resistance. Recently, an important role of fatty acid β-Oxidation (FAO) in chemoresistance has been shown. But how FAO might mitigate tumor cell apoptosis by chemotherapy is unclearknown. Here, we show that elevated FAO activates STAT3 by acetylation via elevated acetyl-CoA. Acetylated STAT3 upregulates expression of long-chain acyl-CoA synthetase 4 (ACSL4), resulting in increased phospholipid synthesis. Elevating phospholipids in mitochondrial membranes leads to heightened mitochondrial integrity, which in turn overcomes chemotherapy-induced tumor cell apoptosis. Conversely, in both cultured tumor cells and xenograft tumors, enhanced cancer cell apoptosis by inhibiting ASCL4 or specifically targeting acetylated-STAT3 is associated with a reduction in phospholipids within mitochondrial membranes. This study demonstrates a critical mechanism underlying tumor cell chemoresistance.

Project description:Background and aims: Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (Stat3) is the main mediator of interleukin-6 type cytokine signaling required for hepatocyte proliferation and hepatoprotection but its role in sclerosing cholangitis and other cholestatic liver diseases remains unresolved. Methods: We investigated the role of Stat3 in inflammation-induced cholestatic liver injury and used mice lacking the multidrug resistance gene 2 (mdr2-/-) as a model for SC. Results: We demonstrate that conditional inactivation of stat3 in hepatocytes and cholangiocytes (stat3 delta hc) of mdr2-/- mice strongly aggravated bile acid-induced liver injury and fibrosis. A similar phenotype was observed in mdr2-/- mice lacking IL-6 production. Biochemical and molecular characterization suggested that Stat3 exerts hepatoprotective functions in both, hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. Loss of Stat3 in cholangiocytes led to increased expression of TNFα which might reduce the barrier function of bile ducts. Loss of Stat3 in hepatocytes led to upregulation of bile acid biosynthesis genes and downregulation of hepatoprotective epidermal growth factor receptor and insulin-like growth factor 1 signaling pathways. Consistently, stat3deltahc mice were more sensitive to cholic acid-induced liver damage than control mice. Conclusions: Our data suggest that Stat3 prevents cholestasis and liver damage in sclerosing cholangitis via regulation of pivotal functions in hepatocytes and cholangiocytes. Affymetrix microarray analyses was performed to identify metabolic and molecular pathways in stat3Dhc mdr2-/- mice that lead to cholestasis and bile acid-induced liver injury. To avoid false positive results that are due to differential cellular composition, we defined the onset of fibrosis and expression of fibrogenic factors in stat3Dhc mdr2-/- mice.

Project description:This study is to identify downstream genes regulated by STAT3 in response cytosolic acidification. Dysregulated intracellular pH is emerging as a hallmark of cancer. In spite of their acidic environment, cancer cells maintain alkaline intracellular pH (≥7.4) that promotes cancer progression by inhibiting apoptosis and increasing glycolysis, cell growth, migration and invasion. Here, we identify signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) as a key player in the maintenance of alkaline cytosolic pH. STAT3 associates with the vacuolar H+-ATPase on lysosomal membranes in a coiled coil domain-dependent manner and increases its activity in living cells and in vitro. Accordingly, STAT3 depletion disrupts intracellular proton equilibrium by decreasing and increasing cytosolic and lysosomal pH, respectively. This dysregulation can be reverted by reconstitution with wild type STAT3 as well as STAT3 mutants unable to activate target genes (Tyr-705-Phe and DNA binding mutant) or to regulate mitochondrial respiration (Ser-727-Ala). Upon cytosolic acidification, phospho-Tyr-705-STAT3 is rapidly dephosphorylated, transcriptionally inactivated and further recruited to lysosomal membranes to reestablish intracellular proton equilibrium and to enhance cell survival. These data reveal STAT3 as a regulator of intracellular pH, and vice versa intracellular pH as a regulator of STAT3 localization and activity.
