Project description:Oxidative stress is a major pathogenic mechanism in Parkinson’s disease (PD). As an important cellular antioxidant, glutathione (GSH) balances the production and incorporation of free radicals to protect neurons from oxidative damage. Unfortunately, the GSH level is greatly decreased in the brains of PD patients. Hence, clarifying the molecular mechanism of GSH deficiency may help deepen our knowledge of PD pathogenesis. Here we report that the astrocytic dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) regulates GSH synthesis via PKM2-mediated Nrf2 transactivation. Besides, we find that pyridoxine can dimerize PKM2 to promote GSH biosynthesis. Further experiments show that pyridoxine supplementation increases the resistance of nigral dopaminergic neurons to 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced neurotoxicity in wild-type mice as well as in astrocytic Drd2 conditional knockout mice. Given that dopamine agonist treatment in PD is limited by their intolerable side effects and diminished effectiveness over time, we anticipate dimerizing PKM2 to be a new strategy for PD treatment.

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:Purpose: In this study, we compared transcriptome profiling (RNA-seq) between normal mouse embryonic stem cell (E14) and Hexokinase2 (Hk2)/ Pyruvate Kinase M2 (Pkm2) overexpressed E14 cell.

Project description:Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) is a master regulator of glucose metabolism in cancer cells. Here, we demonstrate that a HIF-1α anti-sense lncRNA, HIFAL, is essential for maintaining and enhancing HIF-1α-mediated transactivation and glycolysis. Mechanistically, HIFAL recruits PHD3 to PKM2 to induce its prolyl hydroxylation and introduces the PKM2/PHD3 complex into the nucleus via binding with hnRNPF to enhance HIF-1α transactivation. Reciprocally, HIF-1α induces HIFAL transcription, which forms a positive feed-forward loop to maintain the transactivation activity of HIF-1α. Clinically, high HIFAL expression is associated with aggressive breast cancer phenotype and poor patient outcome. Furthermore, HIFAL overexpression promotes tumor growth in vivo, while targeting both HIFAL and HIF-1α significantly rescues their effect on cancer growth. Overall, our results indicate a critical regulatory role of HIFAL in HIF-1α-driven transactivation and glycolysis, identifying HIFAL as a therapeutic target for cancer treatment.

Project description:We profiled global gene expression for two separate lines of mouse embryonic fibroblasts and find that deletion of PKM2 and expression of PKM1 does not alter global gene expression profiles. We used microarrays to futher characterize the effects of PKM1 expression compared to PKM2 expression on global gene expression in mouse embryonic fibroblasts. Primary mouse embryonic fibroblast cells were used for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. Intensity files were RMA normalized using Affymetrix expression console.

Project description:The study identified Pkm2 to be highly expressed in human embryonic stem cells and hepatocellular carcinoma cells, and targeted by a microRNA that is highly expressed in human primary hepatocytes. Gene expression patterns were compared from total RNA obtained from human embryonic stem cells, human primary hepatocytes, and hepG2 and hep3B.

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:Purpose: PKM2-mediated metabolic switch to aerobic glycolysis plays a critical role in promoting cell survival and proliferation. However, little is known about the function of intestinal epithelial PKM2 in intestinal homeostasis. Here we investigated whether and how intestinal epithelial PKM2 modulates the morphology and function of the adult intestine in experimental murine colitis. Methods: Colonoscopic biopsies from the Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) patients (10 each) were analyzed for PKM2 expression. We also generated intestinal epithelial-specific Pkm2 knockout mice and employed them to examine PKM2 function. Mouse intestinal inflammation was induced with dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) in drinking water. Disease phenotypes were investigated by mouse survival, body weight, colon length and analysis of immune cell infiltration in colon, intestinal epithelial cell gene profiling and signal pathway. Results: Intestinal epithelial PKM2 level in UC and CD patients was significantly decreased compared to that from non-inflamed intestinal epithelium. Similar reduction of intestinal epithelial PKM2 was observed in mice with experimental colitis. Supporting the notion that PKM2 serves as a safeguard against colitis, intestinal epithelial-specific Pkm2-deficient (Pkm2-/-) mice displayed a severer intestinal inflammation, companying with shortened colon, disruption of epithelial tight junction, higher permeability, elevation of inflammatory cytokines and immune cell infiltration, compared with wild-type mice. Gene profiling and western blot analysis indicated that cell survival signaling, particularly the Akt/β-catenin pathways, were downregulated in Pkm2-/- mice. Functional assay using mouse primary colonic epithelial cells confirmed that Pkm2 reduction decreased proliferation and migration of epithelial cells, while enhanced expression of Pkm2 was associated with increased transcriptional activity of β-catenin. Moreover, increasing mouse intestinal epithelial Pkm2 expression via delivery of Pkm2-expressing plasmid attenuated DSS-induced experimental colitis. Conclusions: Intestinal epithelial PKM2, through activating Wnt/β-catenin signaling, induces a strong proliferative and migratory response that increases cell survival and wound healing under colitic condition.
