Project description:Mitochondria and Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) share structural and functional networks and activates well-orchestrated signaling processes to shape a cell’s fate and function. While persistent ER stress (ERS) response leads to mitochondrial collapse, moderate ERS condition promotes mitochondrial function. Strategies to boost anti-tumor T cell function by targeting ERMitochondria crosstalk have not been exploited yet. Thus, we used carbon monoxide (CO), a short-lived gaseous molecule, to test if engaging moderate ERS conditions can improve T cells mitochondrial function and anti-tumor function. Using melanoma antigen specific T cells, we identify that CO induced transient activation of ERS sensor ‘protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK)’ dramatically increase anti-tumor T cell function. Furthermore, COinduced PERK activation temporarily halts protein translation and induces protective autophagy (that includes mitophagy). To get further insight, we used LC3-GFP to differentiate between the cells that prepare themselves to undergo active autophagy (LC3-GFPpos) and those that fail to enter into the process (LC3-GFPneg). We found that LC3-GFPpos T cells show robust anti-tumor potential whereas, LC3-GFPneg cells show T regulatory-like phenotype, harbor dysfunctional mitochondria, and accumulate abnormal metabolite content. These anomalous ratios of metabolites render the cells with a hypermethylated state and distinct epigenetic profile limiting their anti-tumor activity. Overall, the study highlights that ERS activated autophagy pathways modify mitochondrial function and epigenetically reprogram the T cells towards a superior antitumor phenotype to achieve robust tumor control.

Project description:Disruptions of protein homeostasis in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) elicit activation of the unfolded protein response (UPR), a translation- and transcription-coupled proteostatic stress response pathway. The primary translational control arm of the UPR is initiated by the PERK-dependent phosphorylation of eIF2α, leading to a large-scale reprogramming of translation and subsequent activation of an ATF4-mediated transcriptional program. It has remained challenging, however, to accurately evaluate the contribution of each component of the eIF2α/ATF4 pathway to the remodelling of transcription and translation. Here, we have used mouse embryonic fibroblasts containing either a knock-in of the non-phosphorylatable eIF2α S51A mutant or knock-out for ATF4 by ribosome profiling and mRNA-seq to define the specific contributions of eIF2α phosphoryation and ATF4 in controlling the translational and transcriptional components of the UPR. These studies show that the transcriptional and translational targets of each P-eIF2α, ATF4, and the other UPR gene expression programs overlapped extensively, leading to a core set of UPR genes whose robust expression in response to ER stress is driven by multiple mechanisms. The identification of other, more factor-specific targets illustrated the potential for functional specialization of the UPR. As the UPR progressed temporally, cells employed distinct combinations of transcriptional and translational mechanisms, initiated by different factors, to adapt to ongoing stress. These effects were accompanied by a buffering effect where changes in mRNA levels were coupled to opposing changes in ribosome loading, a property which makes cooperation between transcription and translation essential to confer robust protein expression. Translational analysis by ribosome profiling and mRNA-seq of PERK pathways mutants during the UPR. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) lacking components of the PERK pathway (eIF2a phosphorylation and ATF4) were subjected to ER stress and analyzed by ribosome profiling.

Project description:Mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) share structural and functional networks and activate well-orchestrated signaling processes to shape cells' fate and function. While persistent ER stress (ERS) response leads to mitochondrial collapse, moderate ERS promotes mitochondrial function. Strategies to boost antitumor T-cell function by targeting ER-mitochondria cross-talk have not yet been exploited.

Project description:In response to different cellular stressors, the ISR kinases, PERK, PKR, HRI and GCN2, activate downstream transcriptional programs. While the core ISR transcription program is well characterized, markers that are specific to each individual ISR kinase activation pathway are not known. To identify markers that are induced by PERK or GCN2, but not the other ISR kinases, we subjected WT, GCN2-/-, and PERK-/- MEFs to amino acid starvation (RPMI 1640 SILAC -Lys -Arg) or Thapsigargin (200nM) treatment for 6 hours to activate the GCN2 and PERK pathways, respectively and performed RNA sequencing.

Project description:Even though cancer patients are generally considered more susceptible to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, the mechanisms driving their predisposition to severe forms of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have not yet been deciphered. Since metabolic disorders are associated with homeostatic frailty, which increases the risk of infection and cancer, we asked whether we could identify immunometabolic pathways intersecting with cancer and SARS-CoV-2 infection. Thanks to a combined flow cytometry and multiomics approach, here we show that the immunometabolic traits of COVID-19 cancer patients encompass alterations in the frequency and activation status of circulating myeloid and lymphoid subsets, and that these changes are associated with i) depletion of tryptophan and its related neuromediator tryptamine, ii) accumulation of immunosuppressive tryptophan metabolites (i.e., kynurenines), and iii) low nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) availability. This metabolic imbalance is accompanied by altered expression of inflammatory cytokines in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), with a distinctive downregulation of IL-6 and upregulation of IFNg mRNA expression levels. Altogether, our findings indicate that cancer not only attenuates the inflammatory state in COVID-19 patients but also contributes to weakening their precarious metabolic state by interfering with NAD+ dependent immune homeostasis.

Project description:Here we report that the Th2 cytokine IL-4 and the tumor microenvironment activated protein kinase RNA-like ER kinase (PERK) ER stress signaling cascade to promote immunosuppressive M2 activation and proliferation. Lacking PERK signaling impeded mitochondrial respiration and lipid oxidation critical for M2 macrophages. In addition, PERK activation mediated the upregulation of PSAT1 and serine biosynthesis via the downstream transcription factor ATF4.
