Rabinowitz,‡,x,{ and Ping Xie*,{ Specific deletion of the tumor suppressor TRAF3 from B lymphocytes in mice leads to the prolonged survival of mature B cells and expanded B cell compartments in secondary lymphoid organs. In the current study, we investigated the metabolic basis of TRAF3- mediated regulation of B cell survival by employing metabolomic, lipidomic, and transcriptomic analyses. We compared the polar metabolites, lipids, and metabolic enzymes of resting splenic B cells purified from young adult B cell–specific Traf32/2 and littermate control mice. We found that multiple metabolites, lipids, and enzymes regulated by TRAF3 in B cells are clustered Downloaded from in the choline metabolic pathway. Using stable isotope labeling, we demonstrated that phosphocholine and phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis was markedly elevated in Traf32/2 mouse B cells and decreased in TRAF3-reconstituted human multiple myeloma cells. Furthermore, pharmacological inhibition of choline kinase a, an enzyme that catalyzes phosphocholine synthesis and was strikingly increased in Traf32/2 B cells, substantially reversed the survival phenotype of Traf32/2 B cells both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, our results indicate that enhanced phosphocholine and phosphatidylcholine synthesis supports the prolonged 2/2 survival of Traf3 B lymphocytes. Our findings suggest that TRAF3-regulated choline metabolism has diagnostic and http://www.jimmunol.org/ therapeutic value for B cell malignancies with TRAF3 deletions or relevant mutations.

  • Identification and Validation of Novel and More Effective Choline Kinase
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Identifcation and validation of novel and more efective choline kinase inhibitors against Streptococcus pneumoniae Tahl Zimmerman1*, Valerie Chasten1, Juan Carlos Lacal2 & Salam A. Ibrahim1 Streptococcus pneumoniae choline kinase (sChoK) has previously been proposed as a drug target, yet the efectiveness of the frst and only known inhibitor of sChoK, HC-3, is in the millimolar range. The aim of this study was thus to further validate sChoK as a potential therapeutic target by discovering more powerful sChoK inhibitors. LDH/PK and colorimetric enzymatic assays revealed two promising sChoK inhibitor leads RSM-932A and MN58b that were discovered with IC50 of 0.5 and 150 μM, respectively, and were shown to be 2–4 magnitudes more potent than the previously discovered inhibitor HC-3. Culture assays showed that the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of RSM- 932A and MN58b for S. pneumoniae was 0.4 μM and 10 μM, respectively, and the minimum lethal concentration (MLC) was 1.6 μM and 20 μM, respectively. Western blot monitoring of teichoic acid production revealed diferential patterns in response to each inhibitor. In addition, both inhibitors possessed a bacteriostatic mechanism of action, and neither interfered with the autolytic efects of vancomycin. Cells treated with MN58b but not RSM-932A were more sensitive to a phosphate induced autolysis with respect to the untreated cells. SEM studies revealed that MN58b distorted the cell wall, a result consistent with the apparent teichoic acid changes. Two novel and more highly potent putative inhibitors of sChoK, MN58b and RSM-932A, were characterized in this study.

  • Dissecting the Telomere-Independent Pathways Underlying Human Cellular Senescence
    Dissecting the Telomere-Independent Pathways Underlying Human Cellular Senescence By Emilie Marie Isabelle Rovillain A thesis submitted to the University College of London for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Neurodegenerative diseases Institute of Neurology UCL Queen Square London WC1 3BG 2010 ABSTRACT Cellular senescence is an irreversible program of cell cycle arrest triggered in normal somatic cells in response to a variety of intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli including telomere attrition, DNA damage, physiological stress and oncogene activation. Finding that inactivation of the pRB and p53 pathways by SV40-LT antigen cooperates with hTERT to immortalize cells has allowed us to use a thermolabile mutant of SV40- LT to develop human fibroblasts where the cells are immortal if grown at 34oC but undergo an irreversible growth arrest within 5 days at 38oC. When these cells cease dividing, senescence-associated-β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) activity is induced and the growth-arrested cells have many features of senescent cells. Since these cells growth-arrest in a synchronous manner, I have used Affymetrix expression profiling to identify the genes differentially expressed upon senescence. This identified 816 up- and 961 down-regulated genes whose expression was reversed when growth arrest was abrogated. I have shown that senescence was associated with activation of the NF-B pathway and up-regulation of a number of senescence-associated-secretory- proteins including IL6. Perturbation of NF-κB signalling either by direct silencing of NF- B subunits or by upstream modulation overcame growth-arrest indicating that activation of NF-B signalling has a causal role in promoting senescence.

It is predominantly caused by elevated expression of choline kinase alpha, which catalyses the phosphorylation of choline to phosphocholine, an essential precursor of membrane lipids. In this thesis, a novel choline kinase inhibitor has been developed and its therapeutic potential evaluated. Furthermore the probe was used to elaborate choline kinase biology. A lead compound, ICL-CCIC-0019 (IC50 of 0.27 0.06 µM), was identified through a focused library screen. ICL-CCIC-0019 was competitive± with choline and non-competitive with ATP. In a selectivity screen of 131 human kinases, ICL-CCIC-0019 inhibited only 5 kinases more than 20% at a concentration of 10 µM(< 35% in all 131 kinases). ICL- CCIC-0019 potently inhibited cell growth in a panel of 60 cancer cell lines (NCI-60 screen) with a median GI50 of 1.12 µM (range: 0.00389–16.2 µM).

These diseases were initially described a little over three decades ago. Limited diagnostic tools created disease descriptions based on clinical, biochemical analytes, neuroimaging, and muscle biopsy findings. This diagnostic mechanism continued to evolve detection of inherited oxidative phosphorylation disorders and expanded discovery of mitochondrial physiology over the next two decades. Limited genetic testing hampered the definitive diagnostic identification and breadth of diseases. Over the last decade, the development and incorporation of massive parallel sequencing has identified approximately 300 genes involved in mitochondrial disease.

  • How Do Glycolytic Enzymes Favour Cancer Cell Proliferation by Nonmetabolic Functions?
    Oncogene (2015) 34, 3751–3759 © 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/15 www.nature.com/onc REVIEW How do glycolytic enzymes favour cancer cell proliferation by nonmetabolic functions? H Lincet1,2,3 and P Icard1,4 Cancer cells enhance their glycolysis, producing lactate, even in the presence of oxygen. Glycolysis is a series of ten metabolic reactions catalysed by enzymes whose expression is most often increased in tumour cells. HKII and phosphoglucose isomerase (PGI) have mainly an antiapoptotic effect; PGI and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase activate survival pathways (Akt and so on); phosphofructokinase 1 and triose phosphate isomerase participate in cell cycle activation; aldolase promotes epithelial mesenchymal transition; PKM2 enhances various nuclear effects such as transcription, stabilisation and so on. This review outlines the multiple non-glycolytic roles of glycolytic enzymes, which are essential for promoting cancer cells' survival, proliferation, chemoresistance and dissemination.

These cells metabolise glucose to pyruvate through Hexokinases glycolysis, then oxidise this pyruvate through the tricarboxylic acid In the cytosol, glucose (or fructose) is phosphorylated by cycle, generating ATP through ATP synthase, the rate of the hexokinases (HK) (glucose kinase or fructose kinase) to glucose- production being coupled with proton transport and on oxygen 6-phosphate (G6P). HK catalye the first irreversible reaction of respiration.1 In contrast, rapidly proliferating tumour cells con- glycolysis.

  • Expression Profiling of Choline and Ethanolamine Kinases in MCF7, HCT116 and Hepg2 Cells, and the Transcriptional Regulation by Epigenetic Modification
    MOLECULAR MEDICINE REPORTS 11: 611-618, 2015 Expression profiling of choline and ethanolamine kinases in MCF7, HCT116 and HepG2 cells, and the transcriptional regulation by epigenetic modification CHUA SIANG LING1, KHOO BOON YIN2, SEE TOO WEI CUN1 and FEW LING LING1 1School of Health Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian, Kelantan 16150; 2Institute for Research in Molecular Medicine, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Penang 11800, Malaysia Received December 10, 2013; Accepted September 4, 2014 DOI: 10.3892/mmr.2014.2707 Abstract. The function of choline kinase (CK) and etha- cell lines were varied. The effects of TSA treatment on the nolamine kinase (EK) is to catalyse the phosphorylation mRNA expression levels of ck and ek imply that ck and ek of choline and ethanolamine, respectively, in order to yield mRNA expression may be regulated by epigenetic modifica- phosphocholine (PCho) and phosphoethanolamine (PEtn). A tion. high expression level of PCho, due to elevated CK activity, has previously been associated with malignant transformation. In Introduction the present study, a quantitative polymerase chain reaction was performed to determine the mRNA expression profiles of ck Choline kinase (CK) and ethanolamine kinase (EK) are enzymes and ek mRNA variants in MCF7 breast, HCT116 colon and that initiate the first step in the Kennedy pathway, resulting in HepG2 liver cancer cells. The ck and ek mRNA expression the biosynthesis of phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidyletha- profiles showed that total ckα was expressed most abundantly nolamine (1). In the presence of Mg2+, CK and EK catalyse the in the HepG2 cells. The HCT116 cells exhibited the highest ATP-dependent phosphorylation of choline and ethanolamine ckβ and ek1 mRNA expression levels, whereas the highest into phosphocholine (PCho) and phoshoethanolamine (PEtn), ek2α mRNA expression levels were detected in the MCF7 respectively.
