Project description:Dysregulated metabolism in glioblastoma (GBM), the deadliest brain tumor of adults, offers an opportunity to deploy metabolic interventions as precise therapeutic strategies. To identify the molecular drivers and the modalities by which different molecular subgroups of GBM exploit metabolic rewiring to sustain tumor progression, we interrogated the transcriptome, the metabolome and the glycoproteome of human subgroup-specific GBM stem cells (GSCs). Here we report that L-Fucose abundance and core fucosylation activation are more highly enhanced in mesenchymal (MES) than in proneural (PN) GSCs; this pattern is retained in subgroup-specific xenografts and, most significantly, retrieved in subgroup-affiliated human patients’ samples. Genetic and pharmacological inhibition of core fucosylation in MES GBM preclinical models results in significant reduction in tumor burden. LC/MS-based glycoproteomic screening indicates that most MES-restricted core fucosylated proteins are involved in therapeutically relevant GBM pathological processes, such as extracellular matrix interaction, cell adhesion and integrin-mediated signaling. Notably, selective L-Fucose accumulation in MES GBMs is demonstrated by pre-clinical minimally-invasive positron emission tomography (PET), implying this metabolite as a potential subgroup-restricted biomarker. Overall, these findings indicate that L-Fucose pathway activation in MES GBM offers subgroup-specific, GSC-restricted dependencies to be exploited as diagnostic markers and actionable therapeutic targets.

Project description:Natural Killer (NK) cell development and effector function requires context-dependent signalling via numerous receptors including the IL-15 receptor. The modulation of receptor signalling can be regulated by the post-translational modifications affecting receptor turnover and trafficking. Core fucosylation is one such modification known to impact receptor expression and is uniquely mediated by fucosyltransferase 8 (FUT8). To investigate core fucosylation in NK cell biology, we generated mice lacking FUT8 in NK cells (Fut8fl/flNcr1cre/+). Loss of core fucose resulted in pronounced NK lymphopenia in Fut8fl/flNcr1cre/+ mice associated with a reduction in IL-15 receptor expression and loss of in vivo proliferation. Inhibition of intrinsic apoptosis pathways could not overcome compromised IL-15 receptor signalling to rescue FUT8-null NK cell development delineating the contribution of proliferation to NK cell homeostasis. Surprisingly, loss of core fucose enhanced NK cell expansion following viral infection and this was associated with upregulation of IL-2Rα following pro-inflammatory cytokine exposure and enhanced IL-2-mediated proliferation. Lastly, loss of FUT8 activity impaired TGFBR2 expression and immunosuppressive effects of TGF-β on NK cells. Taken together, we have identified fucosyltransferase 8 as a key modulator of NK cell development and function by regulating IL-15 receptor responsiveness.

Project description:Immunotherapy efficacy is limited in melanoma, and combinations of immunotherapies with other modalities have yielded limited improvements but also adverse events requiring cessation of treatment. In addition to ineffective patient stratification, efficacy is impaired by paucity of intratumoral immune cells (itICs)—thus, effective strategies to safely increase itICs are needed. We report that dietary administration of L-fucose induces fucosylation and cell surface enrichment of the MHC-II protein HLA-DRB1 in melanoma cells, triggering CD4+T cell-mediated increases in ItICs and anti-tumor immunity, enhancing immune checkpoint blockade responses. Melanoma fucosylation and fucosylated HLA-DRB1 associate with intratumoral T cell abundance and anti-PD1 responder status in patient melanoma specimens, suggesting the potential use of melanoma fucosylation as a strategy for stratifying patients for immunotherapies. Our findings demonstrate that fucosylation is a key mediator of anti-tumor immunity, and importantly, suggest that L-fucose is a powerful agent for safely increasing ItICs and immunotherapy efficacy in melanoma.

Project description:Systemic infection induces conserved physiological responses that include both resistance and ‘tolerance of infection’ mechanisms. Among these responses, temporary anorexia associated with an infection is often beneficial. It poses, however, a problem for the trillions of microbes residing in the gastrointestinal tract, as they also experience reduced substrate availability. We hypothesized that under anorectic conditions caused by infection, the host might activate protective mechanisms to support the gut microbiota during the acute phase of the disease. Here, we report that systemic exposure to Toll-like receptor (TLR) ligands causes rapid α1,2-fucosylation of the small intestine epithelial cells (IEC). The process requires sensing of TLR agonists and production of IL-23 by dendritic cells, activation of innate lymphoid cells and expression of α1,2-Fucosyltransferase-2 (Fut2) by IL-22-stimulated IECs. Fucosylated proteins are shed into the lumen and fucose is utilized by microbiota, as shown using reporter bacteria and by transcriptional profiling of the gut microbiome. Fucosylation also reduces the expression of bacterial virulence genes within the commensal gut microbiome and improves host tolerance of the mild pathogen Citrobacter rodentium. Thus, rapid IEC fucosylation appears to be a protective mechanism that utilizes the host’s resources to maintain host-microbial interactions during pathogen-induced stress. RNA-Seq analysis of the murine gut microbiome following LPS exposure. Fut2-/- (B6.129X1-Fut2tm1Sdo/J) mice were backcrossed greater than 7 generations to BALB/c. Fut2-/- (KO) and Fut2+/- (Het) animals were analyzed.
