RESUMEN

T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (T-ALL) is a hematological malignancy in need of novel therapeutic approaches. Here, we identify the ATP-citrate lyase ACLY as a novel therapeutic target in T-ALL. Our results show that ACLY is overexpressed in T-ALL, and its expression correlates with NOTCH1 activity. To test the effects of ACLY in leukemia progression and the response to NOTCH1 inhibition, we developed an isogenic model of NOTCH1-induced Acly conditional knockout leukemia. Importantly, we observed intrinsic antileukemic effects upon loss of ACLY, which further synergized with NOTCH1 inhibition in vivo . Gene expression profiling analyses showed that the transcriptional signature of ACLY loss very significantly correlates with the signature of NOTCH1 inhibition in vivo , with significantly downregulated pathways related to oxidative phosphorylation, electron transport chain, ribosomal biogenesis and nucleosome biology. Consistently, metabolomic profiling upon ACLY loss revealed a metabolic crisis with accumulation of nucleotide intermediates and reduced levels of several amino acids. Overall, our results identify a link between NOTCH1 and ACLY and unveil ACLY as a novel promising target for T-ALL treatment.

RESUMEN

T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a NOTCH1-driven disease in need of novel therapies. Here, we identify a NOTCH1-SIRT1-KAT7 link as a therapeutic vulnerability in T-ALL, in which the histone deacetylase SIRT1 is overexpressed downstream of a NOTCH1-bound enhancer. SIRT1 loss impaired leukemia generation, whereas SIRT1 overexpression accelerated leukemia and conferred resistance to NOTCH1 inhibition in a deacetylase-dependent manner. Moreover, pharmacologic or genetic inhibition of SIRT1 resulted in significant antileukemic effects. Global acetyl proteomics upon SIRT1 loss uncovered hyperacetylation of KAT7 and BRD1, subunits of a histone acetyltransferase complex targeting H4K12. Metabolic and gene-expression profiling revealed metabolic changes together with a transcriptional signature resembling KAT7 deletion. Consistently, SIRT1 loss resulted in reduced H4K12ac, and overexpression of a nonacetylatable KAT7-mutant partly rescued SIRT1 loss-induced proliferation defects. Overall, our results uncover therapeutic targets in T-ALL and reveal a circular feedback mechanism balancing deacetylase/acetyltransferase activation with potentially broad relevance in cancer. SIGNIFICANCE: We identify a T-ALL axis whereby NOTCH1 activates SIRT1 through an enhancer region, and SIRT1 deacetylates and activates KAT7. Targeting SIRT1 shows antileukemic effects, partly mediated by KAT7 inactivation. Our results reveal T-ALL therapeutic targets and uncover a rheostat mechanism between deacetylase/acetyltransferase activities with potentially broader cancer relevance.

RESUMEN

Exercise stimulates immune responses, but the appropriate "doses" for such achievements are unsettled. Conversely, in metabolic tissues, exercise improves the heat shock (HS) response, a universal cytoprotective response to proteostasis challenges that are centred on the expression of the 70-kDa family of intracellular heat shock proteins (iHSP70), which are anti-inflammatory. Concurrently, exercise triggers the export of HSP70 towards the extracellular milieu (eHSP70), where they work as pro-inflammatory cytokines. As the HS response is severely compromised in chronic degenerative diseases of inflammatory nature, we wondered whether acute exercise bouts of different intensities could alter the HS response of lymphocytes from secondary lymphoid organs and whether this would be related to immunoinflammatory responses. Adult male Wistar rats swam for 20 min at low, moderate, high or strenuous intensities as per an overload in tail base. Controls remained at rest under the same conditions. Afterwards, mesenteric lymph node lymphocytes were assessed for the potency of the HS response (42 °C for 2 h), NF-κB binding activity, mitogen-stimulated proliferation and cytokine production. Exercise stimulated cell proliferation in an "inverted-U" fashion peaking at moderate load, which was paralleled by suppression of NF-κB activation and nuclear location, and followed by enhanced HS response in relation to non-exercised animals. Comparative levels of eHSP70 to iHSP70 (H-index) matched IL-2/IL-10 ratios. We conclude that exercise, in a workload-dependent way, stimulates immunoinflammatory performance of lymphocytes of tissues far from the circulation and this is associated with H-index of stress response, which is useful to assess training status and immunosurveillance balance.

RESUMEN

O Streptococcus agalactiae é um coco Gram-positivo, beta-hemolítico que faz parte da microbiota de membranas mucosas, colonizando, principalmente, o trato intestinal e o genitourinário. A identificação no trato anogenital das gestantes é de importância para asaúde da mulher e do feto, visto que esse microrganismo pode causar infecções neonatais graves, septicemia, pneumonia e meningite neonatal, assim como causar infecção no organismo materno e comprometer a evolução da gestação. Cento e quarenta e quatrogestantes foram submetidas à coleta de secreção vaginal e perianal para cultura em meio Stuart. A amostra da secreção vaginal foi inoculada em agar sangue e a amostra da secreção anal em meio azida, as quais foram incubadas a 37°C, por 24 horas, seguindo-se o teste de CAMP. Foi possível verificar a alta frequência de colonização por S.agalactiae, neste estudo (40%), principalmente em pacientes entre a 34ª e a 37ª semanas de gestação (64%), o que ressalta a importância da inclusão da cultura de secreção vaginal e perianal para pesquisa desse microrganismo nos exames pré-natais...

RESUMEN

The inducible expression of the 70-kDa heat shock proteins (HSP70) is associated with homeostatically stressful situations. Stresses involving sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activation, including α1-adrenergic agonists and physical exercise, are capable of inducing HSP70 expression and release of the HSP70 inducible form, HSP72. However, whether hypoglycaemia is capable of influencing HSP70 status under a stressful situation such as insulin-induced hypoglycaemia (IIH), which also involves SNS activation, is unsettled. Hence, we decided to investigate whether the predominant signal for HSP70 expression and delivery into the blood comes from either low glucose, high insulin, or both during short-term IIH (STIIH) and long-term IIH (LTIIH). Our data indicated that low glucose level (up to 1.56 ± 0.14 mM), but not insulin, is the triggering factor responsible for a dramatic rise in HSP72 plasma concentrations (from 0.15 ± 0.01 in fed state to 0.77 ± 0.13 ng/mL during hypoglycaemic episodes). This was observed in parallel with up to 7-fold increases in interleukin-6 (IL-6) but not interleukin-10 (IL-10) or tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) at STIIH. Together, the observations may suggest that HSP72 is released under hypoglycaemic conditions as a part of the homeostatic stress response, whereas at long-term, both hypoglycaemia and insulin may influence HSP72 expression in the liver, but not in kidneys. Secreted extracellular HSP72 (eHSP72) may be purely a danger signal to all the tissues of the body for the enhancement of immune and metabolic surveillance state or actively participates in glycaemic control under stressful situations.
