Project description:We aimed to identify SAT1 regulated genes in U87MG cell by knockdown of SAT1 with two different shRNAs, and then compared knockdown cells to control cells with shGFP
Project description:An acidic tumor microenvironment plays a critical role in tumor progression. However, understanding of metabolic reprogramming of tumors in response to acidic extracellular pH has remained elusive. Using comprehensive metabolomic analyses, we demonstrated that acidic extracellular pH (pH 6.8) leads to the accumulation of N1-acetylspermidine, a pro-tumor metabolite, through upregulation of the expression of spermidine/spermine acetyl transferase 1 (SAT1). Inhibition of SAT1 expression suppressed the accumulation of intra- and extracellular N1-acetylspermidine at acidic pH. Conversely, overexpression 3 of SAT1 increased intra- and extracellular N1-acetylspermidine levels, supporting the proposal that SAT1 is responsible for accumulation of N1-acetylspermidine. While inhibition of SAT1 expression only had a minor effect on cancer cell growth in vitro, SAT1 knockdown significantly decreased tumor growth in vivo, supporting a contribution of the SAT1-N1-acetylspermidine axis to pro-tumor immunity. Immune cell profiling revealed that inhibition of SAT1 expression decreased neutrophil recruitment to the tumor, resulting in impaired angiogenesis and tumor growth. We showed that anti-neutrophil neutralizing antibodies suppressed growth in control tumors to a similar extent to that seen in SAT1 knockdown tumors in vivo. Further, a SAT1 signature was found to be correlated with poor patient prognosis. Our findings demonstrate that extracellular acidity stimulates recruitment of pro-tumor neutrophils via the SAT1-N1-acetylspermidine axis, which may represent a novel target for anti-tumor immune therapy.
Project description:Performed gene expression profiling of U87MG cells with two different shRNAs to SAT1 using Affymetrix microarrays covering 67,528 gene transcripts. Accordingly, we infected U87MG cells with lentiviruses expressing shRNAs to either the green fluorescent protein (GFP) or SAT1, performed a drug selection to ensure stable expression of the shRNAs, and expanded the cells for RNA harvest within 7 days of infection. RNA was reverse transcribed into cDNA, labelled with biotin and hybridized onto the arrays for analyses. Hierarchical clustering of duplicate experiments correctly segregated samples according to sample identity (i.e. shGFP clustered together, shSAT1-1 clustered together, and shSAT1-2 clustered together; with the latter two separately branching from shGFP)
Project description:The dataset provides the whole proteome of the anammox bacterium "Candidatus Kuenenia Stuttgartiensis" strain CSTR1 growing planctonically in semi-CSTR reactor. The bacteria were growing at high growth rate (0.33 d-1) (reactor HRT 3d).
