Project description:Acetate metabolism is an important metabolic pathway in many types of cancers and is primarily controlled by acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2), an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of acetate to acetyl-CoA. However, the consequences of inhibiting tumor acetate metabolism on the tumor microenvironment and anti-tumor immunity are unknown. Herein we demonstrate that the growth of ACSS2 deficient triple negative breast cancer is severely impaired when host immunity is intact and, in many instances, ACSS2 deficient tumors are fully cleared by the immune system. Pharmacological inhibition of ACSS2 using a potent small molecule inhibitor reproduces these effects and enhances the efficacy of standard of care chemotherapy for TNBC. Single cell RNA sequencing of vehicle versus ACSS2 inhibitor treated tumors indicates differentiation and activation of T cells suggesting a crosstalk between acetate metabolism and immune cells in the tumor microenvironment. Our data suggest that blocking ACSS2 and acetate metabolism in tumors increases the availability of acetate in the tumor microenvironment. Tumor infiltrating T cells can then use acetate as a fuel source due to the relatively high expression of acetyl-CoA synthetase 1 (ACSS1), which is impervious to ACSS2 inhibitors. In this manner, ACSS1-driven oxidation of acetate in T cells helps to metabolically bolster anti-tumor immune responses. Based on our findings, we propose a completely novel paradigm for ACSS2 inhibitors as metaboimmunomodulators that dually act as inhibitors of tumor cell metabolism and modulators of tumor immunity.

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an incurable disease with poor prognosis. At this moment, therapeutic options are limited to chemotherapy and no targeted agent has reached the clinical setting. Bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) inhibitors are a new family of compounds that inhibit bromodomain containing proteins affecting the expression of transcription factors (TFs), therefore modifying the expression of relevant oncogenic genes. We decided to performed gene-set enrichment analyses to get insights into the mechanism of action of these compounds. We treated cells with JQ1 and extracted RNA at 12 and 24 hours.

Project description:Metabolic production of acetyl-CoA has been linked to histone acetylation and gene regulation, however the mechanisms are largely unknown. We show that the metabolic enzyme acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) is a critical and direct regulator of histone acetylation in neurons and of long-term mammalian memory. We observe increased nuclear ACSS2 in differentiating neurons in vitro. Genome-wide, ACSS2 binding corresponds with increased histone acetylation and gene expression of key neuronal genes. These data indicate that ACSS2 functions as a chromatin-bound co-activator to increase local concentrations of acetyl-CoA and to locally promote histone acetylation for transcription of neuron-specific genes. Remarkably, in vivo attenuation of hippocampal ACSS2 expression in adult mice impairs long-term spatial memory, a cognitive process reliant on histone acetylation. ACSS2 reduction in hippocampus also leads to a defect in upregulation of key neuronal genes involved in memory. These results reveal a unique connection between cellular metabolism and neural plasticity, and establish a link between generation of acetyl-CoA and neuronal chromatin regulation. Global survey of gene expression in CAD cells and differentiated CAD neurons following lentiviral knockdown of ACSS2 or ATP citrate lyase (ACL) (and control = scramble hairpin); survey of hippocampal gene expression changes associated with retrieval of fear memory, after ACSS2-AAV knockdown or in EGFP-AAV control (comparison of 0h vs. 1h post-memory retrieval).

Project description:Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous and clinically aggressive disease for which there is no targeted therapy. Here we report the preferential and high sensitivity of TNBCs to BET bromodomain inhibitors such as JQ1 manifested by cell cycle arrest in early G1, apoptosis, and induction of markers of luminal epithelial differentiation in vitro and in vivo. The sensitivity of TNBC and other tumor types to BET inhibition establishes a rationale for clinical investigation, and a motivation to understand mechanisms of resistance. After engendering acquired resistance to BET inhibition in previously sensitive TNBCs, we utilized integrative approaches to identify a unique mechanism of epigenomic resistance to this epigenetic therapy. Resistant cells remain dependent on BRD4, confirmed by RNA interference. However, TNBC cells adapt to BET bromodomain inhibition by re-recruitment of unmutated BRD4 to super-enhancers, now in a bromodomain-independent manner. Proteomic studies of resistant TNBC identify hyper-phosphorylation of BRD4 and strong association with MED1. Together, these studies provide a rationale for BET inhibition in TNBC and argue for combination strategies to anticipate clinical drug resistance.
