Project description:Perturbations in intermediary metabolism contribute to the pathogenesis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and can produce therapeutically actionable dependencies. Here, we probed whether alpha-ketoglutarate (aKG) metabolism represents a specific vulnerability in AML. Using functional genomics, metabolomics, and mouse models, we identified the aKG dehydrogenase complex, which catalyzes the conversion of aKG to succinyl CoA, as a molecular dependency across multiple models of adverse-risk AML. Inhibition of 2-oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH), the E1 subunit of the aKG dehydrogenase complex, impaired AML progression and drove differentiation. Mechanistically, hindrance of aKG flux through the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle resulted in rapid exhaustion of aspartate pools and blockade of de novo nucleotide biosynthesis, while cellular bioenergetics was largely preserved. Additionally, increased aKG levels following OGDH inhibition impacted the biosynthesis of other critical amino acids. Thus, this work has identified a previously undescribed, functional link between certain TCA cycle components and nucleotide biosynthesis enzymes across AML. This metabolic node may serve as a cancer-specific vulnerability amenable to therapeutic targeting in AML and perhaps in other cancers with similar metabolic wiring.

Project description:Tet3 is an Fe2+-dependent enzyme that oxidizes genomic 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine with the help of alpha-ketoglutarate and oxygen. It is the most abundant Tet enzyme in differentiated tissues including brain. Adult brain contains the highest 5-hydroxymethylcytosine levels. How alpha-ketoglutarate is made available for the oxidation of mC in brain cells and how the Tet activity is linked to neural activity are unsolved questions. Our experiments with full mouse brains show that Tet3 interacts in the nucleus directly with selected enzymes of the mitochondrial citric acid cycle. This leads to the formation of isocitrate. Tet3 also interacts with aspartate aminotransferase, which produces oxaloacetate. Although oxaloacetate and isocitrate are biosynthetic alpha-ketoglutarate precursors, they function as inhibitors of Tet3 and are needed to protect the reactive Fe2+ center from degrading DNA. The supply of Tet3 with alpha-ketoglutarate is established by a direct interaction of Tet3 with glutamate dehydrogenase (Glud1), which converts the neurotransmitter glutamate directly into alpha-ketoglutarate. This links Tet3 function to neural activity.

Project description:The tumor suppressor p53 is mutated in the majority of human cancers, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC)1,2. Wild-type p53 accumulates in response to cellular stress and acts to regulate the expression of genes that influence cell fate and constrain tumorigenesis2. p53 also can modulate cellular metabolism3, though it remains unclear how the metabolic effects of p53 influence tumor suppression or whether the metabolic consequences of p53 loss play a role in disease maintenance. Here, we show that restoring endogenous p53 function in cancer cells derived from a mouse model of PDAC driven by oncogenic Kras and a regulatable p53 short hairpin RNA (shRNA) rewires glucose and glutamine metabolism to support the accumulation of the metabolite alpha-ketoglutarate, an obligate substrate for several enzymes that regulate chromatin methylation. p53 restoration induces transcriptional programs characteristic of pre-neoplastic differentiation, an effect that can be partially recapitulated by addition of cell permeable alpha-ketoglutarate. Consequently, enforcing alpha-ketoglutarate accumulation in p53 deficient cells by inhibiting expression of oxoglutarate dehydrogenase (Ogdh), the enzyme that consumes alpha-ketoglutarate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, reduces tumor-initiating capacity and promotes tumor differentiation in vivo. In both mouse and human pancreatic cancer, decreasing levels of the alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent chromatin modification 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) marks progression from prenoplastic to de-differentiated malignant lesions. p53 restoration or Ogdh suppression promotes accumulation of 5hmC specifically in differentiated tumor cells in vivo. Together, these results nominate alpha-ketoglutarate as an effector of p53-mediated tumor suppression that promotes pre-neoplastic differentiation and suppresses malignant progression.

Project description:<p>Tet3 is the main α-ketoglutarate (αKG)-dependent dioxygenase in neurons that converts 5-methyl-dC into 5-hydroxymethyl-dC and further on to 5-formyl- and 5-carboxy-dC. Neurons possess high levels of 5-hydroxymethyl-dC that further increase during neural activity to establish transcriptional plasticity required for learning and memory functions. How αKG, which is mainly generated in mitochondria as an intermediate of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, is made available in the nucleus has remained an unresolved question in the connection between metabolism and epigenetics. We show that in neurons the mitochondrial enzyme glutamate dehydrogenase, which converts glutamate into αKG in an NAD+-dependent manner, is redirected to the nucleus by the αKG-consumer protein Tet3, suggesting on-site production of αKG. Further, glutamate dehydrogenase has a stimulatory effect on Tet3 demethylation activity in neurons, and neuronal activation increases the levels of αKG. Overall, the glutamate dehydrogenase-Tet3 interaction might have a role in epigenetic changes during neural plasticity.</p><p><br></p>

Project description:In order to propagate a solid tumor, cancer cells must adapt to and survive under various tumor microenvironment (TME) stresses, such as hypoxia or lactic acidosis. To systematically identify genes that modulate cancer cell survival under stresses, we performed genome-wide shRNA screens under hypoxia or lactic acidosis. We discovered that genetic depletion of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACACA or ACC1) or ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) protected cancer cells from hypoxia-induced apoptosis. Additionally, loss of ACLY or ACC1 reduced levels and activities of the oncogenic transcription factor ETV4. Silencing ETV4 also protected cells from hypoxia-induced apoptosis and led to remarkably similar transcriptional responses as with silenced ACLY or ACC1, including an anti-apoptotic program. Metabolomic analysis found that while α-ketoglutarate levels decrease under hypoxia in control cells, α-ketoglutarate is paradoxically increased by hypoxia when ACC1 or ACLY are depleted. Supplementation with α-ketoglutarate rescued the hypoxia-induced apoptosis and recapitulated the decreased expression and activity of ETV4 via an epigenetic mechanism. Therefore, ACC1 and ACLY regulate the levels of ETV4 under hypoxia via increased α-ketoglutarate. These results reveal that ACC1/ACLY- α-ketoglutarate-ETV4 is a novel means by which metabolic states regulate transcriptional output for life vs. death decisions under hypoxia. Since many lipogenic inhibitors are under investigation as cancer therapeutics, our findings suggest that the use of these inhibitors will need to be carefully considered with respect to oncogenic drivers, tumor hypoxia, progression and dormancy. More broadly, our screen provides a framework for studying additional tumor cell stress-adaption mechanisms in the future.

Project description:The neonatal mammalian heart is capable of substantial regeneration following injury through cardiomyocyte proliferation. However, this regenerative capacity is lost by postnatal (P) day 7. How to stimulate the adult cardiomyocyte to re-enter the cell cycle is still unknown. Accumulating evidence suggests that cardiomyocyte proliferation depends on its metabolic state. Due to the tight connection between the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) and cell proliferation, we analyzed the TCA metabolites between P0.5 and P7 mouse hearts and found that α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) ranked first among the decreased metabolites. The intraperitoneal injection of exogenous α-KG extended the window of cardiomyocyte proliferation during heart development and promoted heart regeneration after myocardial infarction (MI) by inducing adult cardiomyocyte proliferation. This was confirmed in Ogdh-siRNA-treated mice with increased α-KG levels. Mechanistically, α-KG activates Jmjd3, a histone lysine demethylase, that decreases H3K27me3 expression and deposition of H3K4me3 at the promoters of cell cycle and structural maturation genes in cardiomyocytes. Our present study shows that α-KG promotes cardiomyocyte proliferation by Jmjd3-dependent demethylation and inactivation of H3K27me3 andH3K4me3, which is a potential therapeutic approach for treating MI and heart failure.
