Project description:Pyruvate kinase (PK) catalyzes the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate during glycolysis. The PK isoform PKM2 has additional roles in regulation of gene transcription and protein phosphorylation. PKM2 controls macrophage metabolic remodeling in inflammation, but its role in T cell biology is poorly understood. These results show that TEPP-46, an activator of PKM2, reduces CD4+ T cell activation, proliferation, and cytokine production by inhibiting essential signaling pathways and preventing glycolysis.

Project description:Alternative splicing of the Pkm gene product generates the PKM1 and PKM2 isoforms of pyruvate kinase, and PKM2 expression is closely linked to embryogenesis, tissue regeneration, and cancer. To interrogate the functional requirement for PKM2 during development and tissue homeostasis, we generated germline PKM2 null mice (Pkm2-/-). Unexpectedly, despite being the primary isoform expressed in most wild-type adult tissues, we found that Pkm2-/- mice are viable and fertile. Thus, PKM2 is not required for embryonic or postnatal development. Loss of PKM2 leads to compensatory expression of PKM1 in the tissues that normally express PKM2. Strikingly, PKM2 loss leads to spontaneous development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with high penetrance that is accompanied by progressive changes in systemic metabolism characterized by altered systemic glucose homeostasis, inflammation, and hepatic steatosis. Therefore, in addition to its role in cancer metabolism, PKM2 plays a role in controlling systemic metabolic homeostasis and inflammation, thereby preventing HCC by a non-cell-autonomous mechanism. RNA was isolated from flash frozen ground whole liver tissue of 35 week old PKM2 KO and WT mice. Three independent mice from each condition were used as biological replicates.

Project description:During myocardial infarction (MI), energy production decreases as hypoxia inhibits oxidative metabolism. Our lab has identified an ischemia-regulated alternative splicing event of the glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase (muscle, PKM), reducing PKM1 expression and increasing PKM2 expression. We hypothesized the upregulation of PKM2 aids in energy production to maintain heart function after MI. We utilized high-throughput sequencing to evaluate altered gene expression and identify pathways that may be regulated by PKM2.

Project description:Nuclear translocation of the key metabolic enzyme Pyruvate Kinase Isoform 2 (PKM2) is widely observed in cancer, but its contribution to gene regulation and pathogenesis remains unclear. Here we find that PKM2 specifically recognized folded RNA G-quadruplex (rG4) structures in vitro with high affinity. In human cells, nuclear PKM2 bound thousands of precursor mRNAs at potential rG4 sites and translocation of PKM2 to the nucleus resulted in increased expression of rG4-containing mRNAs.

Project description:Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) might soon become the leading cause of end-stage liver disease worldwide with limited treatment options. Liver fibrosis, driven by chronic inflammation and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) activation, critically determines morbidity and mortality in patients with NASH. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is involved in immune activation and inflammatory liver diseases; however, its role and therapeutic potential in NASH fibrosis remain largely unexplored. By bioinformatic screening and analysis of human and murine NASH livers, we found that PKM2 was specifically upregulated in non-parenchymal cells (NPCs) in fibrotic NASH livers, especially in macrophages. Macrophage-specific Pkm2 knockout (Pkm2fl/flLysMCre) significantly ameliorated hepatic inflammation and fibrosis severity in three distinct NASH models induced by methionine–choline-deficient (MCD) diet, high-fat high-cholesterol (HFHC) diet and western diet plus weekly carbon tetrachloride injection (WD/CCl4). Single-cell transcriptomic analysis indicated that deletion of PKM2 in macrophage reduced profibrotic Ly6Chigh macrophage infiltration. Mechanistically, PKM2-dependent glycolysis promotes NLRP3 activation in proinflammatory macrophages, thus inducing HSCs activation and fibrogenesis. Pharmacological PKM2 agonist efficiently attenuated the profibrotic crosstalk between macrophages and HSCs in vitro and in vivo. Translationally, ablation of PKM2 in NPCs by cholesterol-conjugated heteroduplex oligonucleotides, a novel oligonucleotide drug that preferentially accumulated in the liver, dose-dependently reversed NASH fibrosis without observable hepatotoxicity. Our study highlights the pivotal role of macrophage PKM2 in advancing NASH fibrogenesis. Therapeutic modulation of PKM2 in a macrophage-specific or liver-specific fashion may serve as a novel strategy to combat NASH fibrosis.

Project description:Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) plays an important role in the consumption of glucose and the production of lactic acid, the striking feature of cancer metabolism. The association of PKM2 with osteosarcoma (OS) has been reported but its role in OS has not. To study this, we obtained PKM2-bound RNAs in HeLa cells. Peak calling analysis revealed that PKM2 binds to long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs), which are associated with cancer pathogenesis and development. Validation of the PKM2-lncRNA interaction in the human OS cell line showed that lncRNA colon cancer associated transcript-1 (lncRNACCAT1) interacts with PKM2, which upregulates the phosphorylation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2. These factors promote the Warburg effect, lipogenesis, and OS cell growth. PKM2 seems to be a key regulator in OS by binding to lncCCAT1. This further extends the biological functions of PKM2 in tumorigenesis and makes it a novel potential therapeutic for OS.

Project description:Pyruvate kinase (PK) catalyzes the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate to pyruvate during glycolysis. The PK isoform PKM2 has additional roles in regulation of gene transcription and protein phosphorylation. PKM2 has been shown to control macrophage metabolic remodeling in inflammation, but its role in T cell biology is poorly understood. Here, we report PKM2 upregulation, phosphorylation, and nuclear accumulation in murine and human CD4+ T cells following activation in vitro. Treatment of T cells with TEPP-46, an allosteric activator that induces PKM2 tetramerization and blocks its nuclear translocation, strongly reduces their activation, proliferation, and cytokine production by inhibiting essential signaling pathways and thus preventing the engagement of glycolysis. TEPP-46 limits the development of both T helper 17 (Th17) and Th1 cells in vitro and ameliorates experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) in vivo. Overall, our results suggest that pharmacological targeting of PKM2 may represent a valuable therapeutic approach in T cell-mediated inflammation and autoimmunity.
