▼ Die AMPK ist ein ubiquitär exprimiertes, heterotrimeres Enzym, das bei Energiemangel das Überleben der Zelle sichert. Um diese Funktion ausüben zu können fungiert die AMPK als sogenannter „Energie-Sensor“, der durch steigende AMP Mengen aktiviert wird. In diesem Zustand werden ATP verbrauchende Reaktionen inhibiert und gleichzeitig ATP generierende Vorgänge induziert. Im vaskulären System konnte gezeigt werden, dass die endotheliale NOSynthase durch die AMPK aktiviert, die Angiogenese stimuliert, die Endothelzellapoptose und das Wachstum von Gefäßmuskelzellen inhibiert wird. All diese Prozesse sind fundamental in der Entwicklung von kardiovaskulären Krankheiten, was auf eine protektive Funktion der AMPK im vaskulären System hindeutet. In der vorliegenden Arbeit sollten die Effekte der in vivo Modulation der AMPK Aktivität auf Endothelfunktion, oxidativen Stress und Inflammation untersucht werden. Dazu wurden zwei unterschiedliche Mausmodelle genutzt: Einerseits wurde die AMPK Aktivität durch den pharmakologischen AMPK-Aktivator AICAR stimuliert und andererseits die vaskulär vorherrschende AMPK-Isoform durch knock out ausgeschaltet. Zur Induktion von oxidativem Stress wurde ein bereits charakterisiertes Angiotensin II-Modell angewandt. Zur Untersuchung gehörten neben den Superoxid-Messungen auch die Bestimmung der Stickstoffmonoxid-Mengen in Serum und Aortengewebe, die Relaxationsmessungen in isometrischen Tonusstudien sowie HPLC-basierte Assays. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass durch die Aktivierung der AMPK mittels AICAR die Angiotensin II induzierte Endotheldysfunktion, der oxidative Stress und auch die vaskuläre Inflammation verbessert werden konnte. Weiterhin zeigte sich dass der knock out der vaskulären Isoform (α1) im Angiotensin II Modell eine signifikant verstärkte Endotheldysfunktion, oxidativen Stress und Inflammation nach sich zog. Anhand der erhobenen Daten konnte die NADPH-Oxidase als Hauptquelle des Angiotensin II induzierten oxidativen Stresses identifiziert werden, wobei sich diese Quelle als AMPK sensitiv erwies. Durch die Aktivierung konnte die Aktivität der NADPH-Oxidase verringert und durch die α1AMPK Defizienz signifikant erhöht werden. Auch die mitochondriale Superoxidproduktion konnte durch die Modulation der AMPK Aktivität beeinflusst werden. Die vaskuläre Inflammation, die anhand der Surrogaten VCAM-1, COX-2 und iNOS untersucht wurde, konnte durch Aktivierung der AMPK verringert werden, der knock out der α1AMPK führte so einer sehr starken Expressionssteigerung der induzierbaren NO-Synthase, was in einem starken Anstieg der NO-Produktion und somit der Peroxynitritbildung resultierte.Die dargestellten Daten deuten stark auf eine protektive Funktion der AMPK im vaskulären System hin und sollte als therapeutisches Ziel, nicht nur in Bezug auf diabetische Patienten, in Betracht gezogen werden.

▼ Type 2 diabetes, as well as other metabolic diseases, is an increasing global health concern and many of the mechanisms of both the disease and its current drug treatments have not been fully described. It has been shown that the anti-diabetic class of drugs, the thiazolidinediones, work via both a known PPARγ-dependent, and a lesser known PPARγ-independent mechanism of action. This PPARγ-independent mechanism likely involves the metabolic regulatory molecule AMPK, which has a newly elucidated inhibitory site of phosphorylation at Ser485/Ser491. In this study we sought to determine if the thiazolidinedione troglitazone affects AMPK in HepG2 liver cells via phosphorylation at both the known Thr172 site as well as the letter understood Ser485 site. We also looked for potential upstream kinases of the Ser485 site by comparing our results to recently proposed mechanisms of phosphorylation here.
HepG2 cells were cultured in the lab and treated with troglitazone to determine time- and dose- dependent effects on AMPK. We also treated cultured HepG2 cells with PMA as well as troglitazone and PMA in order to compare mechanisms of action of troglitazone on AMPK. Results were analyzed using common western blot techniques and statistical analysis.
Our data found that troglitazone increased AMPK activity by increasing phosphorylation at Thr172 in a time- and dose- dependent manner. The inhibitory site Ser485 was also increasingly phosphorylated with troglitazone treatments, although the net result of troglitazone treatment remained AMPK activation. The recently elucidated results from our laboratory showing the mechanism of p-AMPK Ser485 phosphorylation via PKD after PMA treatment also occurred in HepG2 cells, although this did not appear to be the mechanism by which troglitazone phosphorylated AMPK at Ser485.
These data support the current research that there is an AMPK mediated PPARγ-independent mechanism of troglitazone treatment for type 2 diabetes and other metabolic diseases. The results do however bring into question the full effects of the drug on AMPK at a molecular level and leaves room for new research in this area, specifically the exact mechanism by which troglitazone phosphorylates AMPK at Ser485. Our data also brings up new questions as to the simultaneous phosphorylation of AMPK at both Thr172 and Ser485 and what this means for the activity of the molecule as a whole, a current area of critical research. Lastly our data support the newly elucidated mechanism of AMPK phosphorylation at Ser485 via PKD1, an exciting and novel discovery and potential target for therapeutic intervention.

▼ The incidence of obesity, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) is increasing at alarming rates worldwide. Obesity is associated with a chronic nutrient surplus that contributes to chronic low-grade inflammation, ectopic lipid deposition and insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is an important factor contributing to the development of both type 2 diabetes and CVD. Therefore, therapies that can address multiple aspects of cardio-metabolic diseases could have significant clinical utility to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with these conditions. Several distinct glucose lowering therapies have been developed, targeting unique molecular targets. Interestingly, three district glucose lowering therapies, metformin, canagliflozin and salsalate have been shown to potently activate the central energy regulating enzyme, AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK). Activation of AMPK has been shown to be important for regulating fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis, fatty acid oxidation, glucose homeostasis, inflammation and whole-body energy expenditure. Therefore, the objective of this thesis was to examine the effects of metformin, canagliflozin and salsalate, on obesity, atherosclerosis, hepatic lipid metabolism, and macrophage inflammatory signalling and to delineate the mechanism(s) by which these changes occur. In this thesis we show that metformin reduces obesity through a circulating hormone GDF15, and that AMPK is not required for metformin induced GDF15 secretion. Additionally, we show that canagliflozin reduces hepatic cholesterol synthesis and macrophage IL1-1β secretion through mechanisms requiring AMPKβ1. Lastly, we show that salsalate reduces atherosclerosis in a manner dependent on macrophage AMPK β1 and this is associated with reduced macrophage proliferation in vitro and in vivo. These insights into the mechanisms by which these glucose lowering therapies elicit beneficial effects on obesity and atherosclerosis further our understanding of the potential use of these agents for treatments beyond improved glycemic control. Furthermore, this evidence can direct future drug development or drug combinations to more effectively treat multiple aspects of these common chronic diseases that affect over a billion people worldwide.

▼ Peroxisomes are single membrane-bound and autonomously replicating subcellular organelles. While their function as metabolic organelles is well known, their place in the world of cell signaling is only just beginning to emerge.
Peroxisomes are able to adjust their number in response to changing environmental and/or physiological conditions. It is crucial to maintain peroxisome homeostasis for normal cellular functions. High risk pathologies are associated with too few peroxisomes, such as peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs), and too many peroxisomes, such as disorders that increase cellular ROS production to promote the development of disease, including cancer. Early studies have shown that pexophagy (selective autophagy of peroxisomes) is responsible for the decrease in superfluous or damaged peroxisomes, yet the mechanisms of initiation of pexophagy are not well defined, especially in mammalian cells. In Chapter II of this dissertation, we report a key role for the ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) kinase at the peroxisomes as a sensor of ROS that regulates pexophagy. ATM is recognized and localized to the peroxisome by PEX5. In response to ROS, ATM signaling activates ULK1 and suppresses mTORC1 to induce pexophagy. Concomitant with activation of ULK1, ATM phosphorylates PEX5 at Serine 141. This modification then promotes PEX5 mono-ubiquitination at Lysine 209. Mono-ubiquitinated PEX5 is
iii
sufficient to target peroxisomes to the autophagosome via ubiquitin adaptor protein p62, leading to the initiation of pexophagy.
Peroxisomes do not contain DNA, hence all their proteins are encoded inside the nucleus, synthesized by free polyribosomes in the cytoplasm and delivered to peroxisome with the help of import receptors. It is known that PEX5 recognizes the peroxisome targeting sequence 1 (PTS1) of peroxisomal proteins and delivers them to peroxisome. However, how cells control this delivery has remained a mystery. In Chapter III of this dissertation, we found that AMP-activated protein kinase (
AMPK) phosphorylates PEX5 at Ser279, which correlates with the import of peroxisomal proteins in response to low energy.
Thus, we have uncovered a previously unappreciated link between the peroxisome and the ATM and
AMPK signaling pathways, which paves the way for a deeper understanding of peroxisome dynamics and its role in cellular metabolism.

(more)
▼ The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a sensor of cellular energy stress that, once activated, promotes ATP-producing process while it switches off ATP-consuming pathways, in order to restore the cellular energetic balance under conditions of stress. Activation of AMPK is dependent on the phosphorylation of the residue Thr172 in its α subunit. This phosphorylation is generally mediated by the known tumour suppressor LKB1, but also CaMKKβ has been shown to phosphorylate AMPK. As its name suggests, AMPK is also activated by the binding of AMP to its γ subunit. This binding causes a >10 fold allosteric stimulation, promotes phosphorylation of Thr172 by upstream kinases and protects AMPK from dephosphorylation of Thr172 by protein phosphatase(s). In 2010 it was reported that oxidative stress mediated by H2O2 activated AMPK by increasing the cellular AMP:ATP and ADP:ATP ratios (Hawley et al, 2010). However, the same year another work suggested that the mechanism of activation of AMPK by H2O2 was direct, independent of AMP and involved the oxidation of two cysteine residues in the α subunit of AMPK (Zmijewski et al, 2010). Given this discrepancy, here we provided evidence that H2O2, generated by addition of glucose oxidase in the cell medium, activates AMPK mostly through an increase of AMP:ATP and ADP:ATP ratios, as previously suggested in our laboratory. However, it seems that there might be a second, minor mechanism of activation that is independent of the changes in cellular nucleotides. This second mechanism was not identified in our previous work because we were not aware of how rapidly a single bolus of H2O2 can be metabolized by the antioxidant defences of the cell. We could not identify the alternative mechanism of activation by H2O2 but showed that H2O2 could protect Thr172 from dephosphorylation, which might suggest a direct effect of H2O2 on the phosphatase(s) dephosphorylating AMPK. However, since the identity of this phosphatase(s) remains unclear, we could not rule out the possibility that the protection from dephosphorylation that we observed could still be mediated by the increase in AMP:ATP and ADP:ATP ratios. Moreover, it remains still possible that a direct effect of H2O2 on AMPK might be responsible for the small but significant activation we detected in cell expressing a nucleotides-insensitive mutant of AMPK. Recently, a new crystal structure of AMPK obtained by Xiao et al (2013) provided new insights about AMPK structure and regulation. In particular, the authors identified a new binding pocket located at the interface between the N-lobe of the α-kinase domain and the β-CBM of AMPK, which appeared to be the binding site for two direct activators of AMPK: A769662 and 991. Here we confirm that this novel binding pocket is indeed the binding site for both A769662 and 991, and provide evidence that another direct activator of…

The biophysical microenvironment of the tumor site has significant impact on breast cancer progression and metastasis. The importance of altered mechanotransduction in cancerous tissue through the integrin-mediated signaling axis has been documented, yet its role in the regulation of cellular metabolism and the potential link between cellular energy and cell migration remain poorly understood.
In this study, we investigated the role of mechanotransduction (via Src and FAK) in AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) activation in breast cancer cells in response to interstitial fluid flow. Additionally, we explored the involvement of AMPK in breast cancer cell migration. An in-vitro three-dimensional (3D) cell culture model utilizing collagen-Matrigel matrices was used. Interstitial fluid flow was applied to the 3D cell-matrix construct inside a flow chamber. The sub-cellular signaling activity of Src, FAK, and AMPK was visualized in real-time using fluorescent resonance energy transfer (FRET). We observed that breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) are more sensitive to interstitial fluid flow than normal epithelial cells (MCF-10A) in the regulation of FAK and Src. AMPK was activated in the mitochondria of MDA-MB-231 cells by interstitial fluid flow, but not in other subcellular domains (i.e., cytosol, plasma membrane, and nucleus). Subcellular AMPK in MCF-10A cells did not respond to interstitial fluid flow. The inhibition of FAK or Src abolished flow-induced AMPK activation in the mitochondria of MDA-MB-231 cells. We also observed that global AMPK activation reduced MDA-MB-231 cell migration. Interestingly, specific AMPK inhibition in the mitochondria reduced cell migration and blocked interstitial fluid flow-induced cell migration.
Our results suggest the linkage of FAK/Src and mitochondria-specific AMPK in mechanotransduction and the dual role of AMPK in breast cancer cell migration depending on its subcellular activation. Therefore, subcellular AMPK activation may play an important and distinct role in cancer invasion and progression.

Protein kinase C (PKC) participates in acetaminophen
hepatotoxicity through JNK dependent and independent

▼ Our previous studies have shown that acetaminophen
(APAP)-induced hepatocyte necrosis is mediated by JNK. In the
present study we show that protein kinase C (PKC) plays an
important role in APAP-induced liver injury through JNK-dependent
and independent pathways. Treatment of primary mouse hepatocytes
with two different broad-spectrum PKC inhibitors (Ro-31-8245,
Go6983), protected against APAP hepatotoxicity without inhibiting
JNK activation. Ro-31-8245 treatment to mice also resulted in
upregulation of p-
AMPK in the liver and protection against
APAP-induced liver injury in vivo, despite sustained JNK
activation. APAP treatment caused a decreased p-
AMPK, which was
prevented by broad-spectrum PKC inhibitors.
AMPK inhibition by
compound C or activation using
AMPK activator oppositely modulated
APAP hepatotoxicity. This suggests PKC-dependent downregulation of
AMPK-regulated survival pathways is an important component of APAP
hepatotoxicity. In contrast to broad-spectrum inhibitors, treatment
of hepatocytes with a more specific classical PKC inhibitor
(Go6976) that inhibits mainly PKC-α and PKC-βI protected against
APAP by inhibiting JNK activation. Knockdown of PKC-α using
antisense (ASO) in mice protected against APAP-induced liver injury
by inhibiting JNK activation. APAP treatment resulted in PKC-α
translocation to mitochondria, phosphorylation of mitochondrial
proteins, and decline in mitochondria respiration in the liver. JNK
1 and 2 silencing using ASO in mice decreased APAP-induced PKC-α
translocation to mitochondria, suggesting PKC-α and JNK act
together through a feed forward mechanism to mediate APAP-induced
liver injury. Conclusion: PKC-α and other PKC(s) regulate death
(JNK) and survival (
AMPK), to modulate APAP-induced liver
injury.

▼ El espermatozoide es una célula germinal altamente especializada que debe experimentar unos procesos funcionales característicos para lograr su función primordial: la fecundación del ovocito. Estos procesos funcionales son por un lado dependientes del estado energético, y por otro están regulados por mecanismos bioquímicos como la fosforilación de proteínas. La proteína quinasa activada por AMP,
AMPK, actúa como una molécula sensora de la carga energética celular, y su activación provoca una regulación del metabolismo. Los resultados de la presente Tesis nos permiten elaborar las siguientes conclusiones: 1-
AMPK, se expresa en el espermatozoide de cerdo y se encuentra enzimáticamente activa en condiciones fisiológicas. 2-
AMPK se localiza principalmente en el acrosoma y en la pieza intermedia del flagelo. 3- La ruta de señalización que provoca la activación de
AMPK está regulada por calcio, cAMP, por la proteína quinasa A (PKA), proteína quinasa C (PKC) y las proteínas quinasas α y/o β de la CAMKK. 4-
AMPK está involucrada en la regulación de la movilidad del espermatozoide. 5-
AMPK desempeña una importante función en las membranas del espermatozoide. 6-
AMPK está implicada en la regulación del potencial de membrana mitocondrial. 7-
AMPK se activa por fosforilación en repuesta a determinados tipos de estrés celular. En resumen, consideramos que los resultados de esta Tesis Doctoral permiten proponer a la
AMPK como una quinasa esencial que regula la capacidad de la célula germinal masculina para adaptarse a las fluctuantes condiciones externas, como ocurre durante el tránsito a través del tracto reproductor femenino.

▼ The production of ATP is of the utmost importance to cell survival. To maintain energy homeostasis, cells regulate mitochondrial content through the control of degradative and synthetic processes. Mitochondrial biogenesis is primarily controlled through a small number of transcriptional regulators, primarily nuclear respiratory factor-1 (NRF-1), NRF-2, and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs). DNA-binding proteins regulate genes encoding the machinery of oxidative phosphorylation. In addition to these DNA-binding proteins, the coactivator PPAR gamma coactivator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) is central to control of mitochondrial genes, so much so that it has been dubbed a “master controller” of energy homeostasis in mammalian muscle tissues. Though well studied in mammals, previous studies suggest that this NRF-1-PGC1α axis may be disrupted in fish. The response to treatments such as temperature and diet cause reciprocal effects on NRF-1 and PGC-1α. A serine-rich insertion into the NRF-1 binding domain of PGC-1α most likely disrupts this interaction.
In this study I looked at the ability for the goldfish PGC-1α gene to interact with the PGC-1α binding domain of NRF-1. I have found that goldfish PGC-1α does not physically bind NRF-1, which would suggest that the PGC-1α-NRF-1 axis in fish is disrupted. To further explore the role of PGC-1α in fish we looked at the role of AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) to phosphorylate goldfish, zebrafish, and human PGC-1α. The results from this analysis show that AMPK in a zebrafish embryonic cell line (ZEB2J) have their AMPK activated by the AMPK activator AICAR. This response was shown to be both dose and time dependent. Transcript data was generated looking at typical AMPK responsive targets in the mammalian system. The target of ramapamycin (TOR) gene responded with a decrease as is expected in mammals. Hexokinase 2 (HK2), PGC-1α, and NRF-1 all decreased which is opposite of the typical mammalian response. COX7C a downstream target of the PGC-1α-NRF-1 axis did not respond to treatment. Indicating a disruption in the AMPK- PGC-1α-NRF-1 pathway.

▼ Glycogen is an immediate source of glucose for cardiac tissue to maintain its metabolic
homeostasis. However, its excess brings about cardiac structural and physiological
impairments. Previously, we have demonstrated that in hearts from dexamethasone
(DEX) treated animals, glycogen accumulation was enhanced. We examined the
influence of DEX on glucose entry and glycogen synthase as a means of regulating the
accumulation of this stored polysaccharide. Following DEX, cardiac tissue had limited
contribution towards the development of whole body insulin resistance. Measurement of
GLUT4 at the plasma membrane revealed an excess presence of this transporter protein
at this location. Interestingly, this was accompanied by an increase in GLUT4 in the
intracellular membrane fraction, an effect that was well correlated to an increased
GLUT4 mR.NA. Both total and phosphorylated AMPK increased following DEX.
Immunoprecipitation of AS 160 followed by Western blotting demonstrated no change in
Akt phosphorylation at Ser473 and Thr308 in DEX treated hearts. However, there was a
significant increase in AMPK phosphorylation at Thr172, which correlated well with
AS 160 phosphorylation. In DEX hearts, there was a considerable reduction in the
phosphorylation of glycogen synthase, whereas GSK-3-β phosphorylation was
augmented. Our data suggest that AMPK mediated glucose entry, combined with
activation of glycogen synthase and reduction in glucose oxidation (Qi, D., et al. Diabetes
53:1790, 2004), act together to promote glycogen storage. Our data suggest that in the
presence of intact insulin signaling, AMPK mediated glucose entry, combined with
activation of glycogen synthase and the previously reported reduction in glucose
oxidation, act together to promote glycogen storage. Should these effects persist chronically, they may explain the increased morbidity and mortality observed with long
term excesses in endogenous or exogenous glucocorticoids.

▼ Le diabète est une dérégulation systémique chronique caractérisée par des perturbations métaboliques permanentes à l’origine de nombreuses complications, y compris le cancer. Le diabète augmente le risque du cancer colorectal (CRC) de 1,2 à 1,5 fois. Cependant, les voies moléculaires et cellulaires en jeu ne sont pas assez élucidées. Nos résultats témoignent d’une dérégulation de la voie AMPK/mTORC1 dans le diabète et le CRC avec une surexpression de la NADPH oxydase Nox4, augmentant ainsi la production de ROS. Ceci provoque un stress oxydatif qui s’élève en cas de diabète et contribue à la progression du CRC. De plus, nos résultats montrent que ce stress induit une altération de la voie de signalisation AMPK/mTORC1, aboutissant à une agressivité accrue du comportement des cellules cancéreuses du côlon et de la formation de polypes. Notre projet permet, d’une part, d’identifier de nouveaux mécanismes moléculaires impliqués dans la progression du CRC induite par le diabète et d’autre part, de développer des stratégies thérapeutiques efficaces pour inverser la progression du CRC chez les patients diabétiques.
Diabetes is a chronic systemic malfunction characterized by persistent metabolic disturbances that culminate in a high rate of complications to which cancer was recently annexed. In fact, diabetes inflates colorectal cancer (CRC) risk by 1.2-1.5 folds. However, the cellular and molecular pathways involved are not well understood. Our results show that AMPK/mTORC1 pathway is deregulated in both diabetes and CRC. This was paralleled by an elevation in the expression of the NADPH oxidase Nox4 leading to an increase in ROS production. Furthermore, our results show that oxidative stress, secondary to alteration in the level and activity of Nox4 is augmented in diabetes and contributes to the progression of CRC. The resulting oxidative stress further led to an alteration in the signaling of the AMPK/mTORC1 pathways culminating in an exacerbated aggressiveness in cancer cell behavior and colon polyp formation. Our project allows the identification of novel molecular mechanisms involved in diabetes-induced CRC progression and development of effective therapeutic strategies to reverse the progression of CRC in diabetic patients.

Crosstalk of Glucocorticoid Receptor and AMP-activated protein kinase in macrophages during skeletal muscle regeneration : Interactions entre le Récepteur aux glucocorticoïdes et l'AMP-activated protein kinase dans les macrophages au cours de la régénération du muscle strié squelettique.

▼ Le muscle strié squelettique régénère ad integrum après une lésion aigüe stérile grâce aux cellules satellites qui sont les cellules souches du muscle strié squelettique. L'inflammation, et notamment les macrophages, joue un rôle important durant ce processus. En effet, après une lésion, les monocytes sanguins infiltrent le tissu et deviennent des macrophages avec un phénotype pro-inflammatoire associé à la lésion. Ces macrophages phagocytent les débris cellulaires et promeuvent la prolifération des cellules souches musculaires. Ensuite, les macrophages changent leur phénotype vers un phénotype anti-inflammatoire associé à la restauration du tissu. Ils promeuvent la différenciation, puis la fusion des cellules souches musculaires et la croissance des myofibres. Cette séquence de phénotypes inflammatoires est essentielle pour une régénération musculaire efficace. Le laboratoire a montré que ce changement de phénotype est dépendant d'un senseur énergétique majeur de la cellule qui contrôle le métabolisme cellulaire, l'AMP kinase (AMPK)al. Par ailleurs, les glucocorticoïdes sont utilisés depuis des décennies pour leurs effets anti-inflammatoires sur l'inflammation. Leur action est médiée par le Récepteur aux Glucocorticoïdes qui induit ou réprime l'expression de gènes par interaction directe ou indirecte à l'ADN. Comme l'AMPKal et les glucocorticoïdes induisent des effets anti-inflammatoires similaires sur les macrophages, nous avons posé l'hypothèse que ces 2 voies de signalisation pourraient être interconnectées dans les macrophages afin de permettre leur changement de phénotype et la régénération musculaire. Les données issues d'un modèle in vitro de lésion musculaire utilisant des macrophages dérivés de la moelle osseuse de souris ont montré que : i) les glucocorticoïdes induisaient la phosphorylation de l'AMPKal ; ii) l'AMPKal était requise pour l'acquisition fonctionnelle du statut anti-inflammatoire des macrophages induit par les glucocorticoïdes puisque des macrophages déficients pour l'AMPKal ne modifiaient pas leur phénotype et ne stimulaient pas la myogenèse. Les expériences in vivo utilisant des souris LysMCre/+;AMPKalfl/fl dans lesquelles l'AMPKal est invalidée uniquement dans les cellules myéloïdes ont montré que l'AMPKal dans les macrophages régulait les effets bénéfiques des glucocorticoïdes au cours de la régénération du muscle strié squelettique. En effet, en absence d'AMPKal dans les macrophages, les glucocorticoïdes induisaient un retard de régénération et une modification de la maturation des fibres attestée par une modification de l'expression des isoformes des chaînes lourdes de myosines. En conclusion, ces données montrent que l'AMPKal est requise pour le changement de phénotype des macrophages induit par les glucocorticoïdes et une régénération musculaire efficace

▼ Durant la régénération du muscle suite à une lésion, les cellules souches musculaires, aussi appelées les cellules satellites, quittent leur état de quiescence et s’activent. Elles pourront soit emprunter la voie de la myogenèse afin de former de nouvelles fibres musculaires, soit retourner à leur état de quiescence pour reformer la réserve de cellules souches mobilisable en cas de lésion ultérieure. La régulation du devenir de la cellule souche est modulée par de nombreuses voies de signalisation telles que la voie Wnt, la voie Notch ou la voie des TGFb. Cependant, rares sont les données concernant l’implication du métabolisme sur le devenir de la cellule souche. Pourtant il a été démontré que l’activation des cellules satellites est étroitement liée avec le métabolisme cellulaire, dont l’un des principaux acteurs est la protéine kinase AMPK. Ce complexe hétérotrimérique, composé de trois sous-unités a, b et g est responsable de l’équilibre entre consommation énergétique et production d’énergie au sein de la cellule. Grâce à la modulation de mTORC1, il a également été prouvé que l’AMPKa1 était responsable de la croissance cellulaire et de la prolifération des précurseurs myogéniques. A l’aide de différents modèles murins, de lignées primaires et de cellules satellites en sortie de tri, nous avons déterminé le rôle que pouvait jouer chacun des isoformes, AMPKa1 et AMPKa2 au sein de la cellule souche, sur le déroulement de la myogenèse adulte post- lésionnelle ainsi que sur l’homéostasie du muscle régénéré. Dans un premier temps nous avons démontré que la voie de signalisation AMPKa1-LDH permettait de réguler l’autorenouvellement des cellules satellites grâce au contrôle du métabolisme. En effet, au moment de l’entrée de la cellule dans la voie de la différenciation, la voie de l’AMPKa1 induit une diminution de l’activité de la LDH, permettant aux cellules d’adopter un métabolisme de phosphorylation oxydative répondant à leurs besoins énergétiques. Dans un second temps, nous avons démontré que l’isoforme AMPKa2, exprimé uniquement après l’entrée de la cellule dans la voie de la myogenèse, était responsable d’une modulation de la régénération musculaire et que son absence induisait un défaut de différenciation et un retard de maturation des fibres néoformées. Nos travaux nous ont ainsi permis de confirmer la place centrale de la protéine kinase AMPK dans la modulation via le métabolisme du devenir de la cellule souche musculaire dans un contexte de régénération du tissu musculaire squelettique dans un modèle murin
During muscle regeneration following injury, muscle stem cells, also called satellite cells,leave their quiescent state and activate. MuSCs are capable of both differentiating torepair muscle tissue after an injury and self-renewing to replenish the pool of stem cells.The regulation of their fate is modulated by several signaling pathways such as Wnt,Notch or TGFb pathway. However, there are few data concerning the involvement ofmetabolism in the fate of satellite cells. Yet it has been shown that the…

▼ STK11/LKB1, a serine/threonine protein kinase, is a key upstream kinase of adenine monophosphate-activated protein kinase (
AMPK), a necessary kinase in the control of metabolism for maintaining energy homeostasis. Although it has become clear that LKB1 is mutated in a significant number of PeutzâJeghers syndrome (PJS) and sporadic cancers, most frequently in adenocarcinoma of the lung, little is known about how the LKB1 signaling regulates the metabolic process and energy production underlying hypoxia and increased radiosensitivity of lung tumor. Here, we employed lung cancer cells as a model system to dissect the functional roles of LKB1 signaling in human lung adenocarcinoma. We found that LKB1 inhibits lung cancer cell migration, transformation and chemo-resistance in vitro after we restored LKB1 expression in LKB1 null A549 and H460 lung cancer cells. We also found that LKB1 prevents UV-induced DNA damage in human lung cancer cell lines by comet assay and activated UV-induced apopotsis by MTT assays. Furthermore, we designed a systems biology approach to provide a comprehensive protein-protein interaction analysis in order to elucidate the LKB1 tumor suppressor network in vivo. We employed Immunoprecipitation-HPLC- Mass Spectrometry (IP-LC-MS) to identify the novel proteins interacting with LKB1 under different cellular stress conditions. We have identified that LKB1 is involved in CFTR synthesis pathway underlying normoxia condition and participates in the glycolysis and gluconeogenesis pathways underlying hypoxia condition. Together, our findings indicated that LKB1 is involved in the regulation of cell migration, energy metabolism and DNA repair in lung cancer cells, and should provides insights to further exploit the concept of deranged cancer bioenergetics and aberrant growth signals to achieve more effective and selective strategies for lung cancer patients.

▼ Our laboratory recently identified the autophagy initiating kinase ULK1 as a novel AMPK substrate, which directly connects the highly conserved AMPK-mediated energy sensing pathway to the regulation of autophagy. Genetic deletion of ULK1 led to an accumulation of mitochondria with abnormal morphology, supporting a role for ULK1 kinase activity in the maintenance of mitochondrial homeostasis, yet few mammalian ULK1 substrates have been identified beyond those involved in the canonical initiation of autophagy. Here we have identified and validated the E3 ligase Parkin, a known mediator of mitochondrial quality control and the most commonly mutated gene in autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson’s disease, as a direct ULK1 substrate. ULK1-mediated phosphorylation of Parkin was required for maximal Parkin activity in multiple assays of Parkin function. These data reveal an important role for ULK1-mediated Parkin phosphorylation in the regulation of mitochondrial homeostasis, as this modification seems to prime Parkin for maximal activity following depolarization. Further studies using mouse models have indicated that Parkin is phosphorylated in vivo in mouse livers and primary hepatocytes in response to activators of the AMPK/ULK1 pathway, including Metformin, the most widely prescribed drug for the treatment of Type II diabetes. These data suggest the potential for profound in vivo relevance for the regulation of Parkin function downstream of the AMPK/ULK1 signaling cascade.

▼ Mitochondria serve to regulate energy and redox homeostasis, ultimately determining cell fate. While mitochondrial dysfunction is characteristic of many metabolic, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), an energy and stress sensor, is known to regulate mitochondrial biogenesis and function. This work is to study a novel mechanism by which AMPK regulates both energy and redox homeostasis through regulation of NAD+ synthetase 1 (NADSYN) and two epigenetic modulators, DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) and retinoblastoma binding protein 7 (RBBP7). This study combines bioinformatics screening and experimental validation to discover novel substrates of AMPK that are involved in energy and mitochondrial homeostasis in the cell.

▼ Monocyte-derived microparticles (MPs) have been suggested to link cardiovascular risk factors to vascular injury. We hypothesized that adiponectin, an anti-inflammatory and vasculoprotective adipokine, limits the production and/or action of monocytic MPs on endothelial cells. Adiponectin attenuated MP release from untreated THP-1 monocytes and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-treated conditions. Furthermore, peritoneal monocytes from Adipoq−/− mice generated significantly greater MPs than those from Adipoq+/+ littermates in the absence and presence of LPS. LPS-induced MP expression of NLRP3 inflammasome and its principal components, namely cleaved ASC, caspase-1, and IL-1β (pro- and cleaved), were all markedly attenuated by adiponectin treatment. HUVECs incubated with MPs from LPS-treated THP-1 cells exhibited an increase in the expression of VCAM-1; adiponectin inhibited this effect. The effects of adiponectin on MP release and molecular signaling occurred at least in part through modulation of the AMPK-Akt and NFκB pathways. The findings highlight another pleiotropic effect of adiponectin in limiting endothelial activation.

▼ Ischemic events of even a very short duration are not tolerated Ill in humans. The human cost of ischemia, when looked at as combined cardiovascular disease, dwarfs all other causes of death in the United States. Annually, CVD kills as many people in the US as does cancer, chronic lower respiratory disease, accidents, and diabetes mellitus combined. In 2005 (the latest year for which final statistics are available), CVD was responsible for 864,480 deaths or 35.3 percent of total deaths for the year. In my study, I have used the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to determine genetic and environmental modulators of oxygen deprivation a key component of ischemia. I have found that animals with mutations in insulin like signaling pathways, neuronal function, electron transport chain components, germline function, and animals that are preconditioned by being raised on a diet of E. coli HT115 bacteria at 25°C have an enhanced ability to survive long-term (>72 hours) anoxia (<.005 kPa O2) at 20°C. The enhanced anoxia survival phenotype partially correlates with increased levels of carbohydrate stores in the nematodes. Suppression of this enhanced anoxia survival phenotype is possible by altering expression of the glycolytic enzyme glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, the FOXO transcription factor DAF-16, and 5’-AMP kinase.

▼ The green shore crab, Carcinus maenas, is a highly invasive species that inhabits coastal temperate zones worldwide. The reaction of C. maenas to acute temperature change was determined in six tissues (heart, gill, thoracic ganglion, eyestalk ganglion, Y-organ, and claw muscle) using genetic markers for temperature-induced metabolic stress, including HSP70, AMPKγ, mTOR, and Rheb. Animals were exposed to temperatures between 5° and 30°C for 1 or 2 h. mRNA levels in six tissues were quantified by quantitative RT-PCR (qPCR). The results indicate that C. maenas tolerated a wide temperature range, requiring 2-h exposures at 5 °C and 30 °C to affect tissue-specific changes in gene expression. Cm-HSP70 expression was robustly increased at 30 °C in all tissues. Ecdysteroids produced from the molting gland (Y-organ or YO) induce molting in decapod crustaceans. Reduction in molt-inhibiting hormone (MIH) activates the YO and animals enter premolt. At mid-premolt, YOs transition to the committed state, during which ecdysteroid production increases further. In blackback land crab (Gecarcinus lateralis), a tropical decapod species, SB1431542, an inhibitor of Activin receptors, decreases hemolymph ecdysteroid titers in premolt animals, suggesting that an Activin-like transforming-growth factor (TGF-β) is produced by the activated YO and drives the transition of the YO to the committed state. Myostatin (Gl-Mstn) is an Activin-like factor that is highly expressed in skeletal muscle. Rapamycin lowers hemolymph ecdysteroid titers by inhibiting mTOR, which controls global translation of mRNA into protein. Endpoint RT-PCR established that Gl-Mstn was expressed in the YO, not just muscle tissue. YOs were harvested from intact (intermolt) animals and from animals at 1, 3, 5, 7, and 14 days post-ESA. Quantitative PCR was used to quantify the effects of molt induction by eyestalk ablation (ESA) on gene expression. Expression of mTOR components peaked at 3 days post-ESA, which is consistent with the increased activity required for activation of the YO. Gl-Mstn expression also peaked at 3 days post-ESA, which is before the transition to the committed state at 7 days post-ESA. These results indicate that mTOR components are involved in activation of the YO, and Mstn is involved in transitioning the YO to the committed state.

▼ Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) results from the absence of a functional dystrophin protein. Among its possible therapeutic options is the upregulation of dystrophin’s autosomal analogue, utrophin A. This can be achieved by a pharmacologically induced shift towards a slower, more oxidative skeletal muscle phenotype, which has been shown to confer morphological and functional improvements on models of DMD. Whether these improvements are a result of the utrophin A upregulation or other beneficial adaptations associated with the slow, oxidative phenotype, such as improved autophagy, has not been determined. To understand the importance of utrophin A to the therapeutic value of the slow, oxidative phenotype, we used the utrophin/dystrophin double knockout (dKO) model of DMD. We found the dKO mouse to have a similar skeletal muscle signaling capacity and phenotype to mdx mice. When treated with the adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK) agonist 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-D-ribofuranoside (AICAR), both dKO and mdx mice expressed a shift towards a slower, more oxidative phenotype. In the mdx mice, this shift caused improvements in muscle fiber central nucleation, IgM penetration, damage from eccentric contractions, and forelimb grip strength. These morphological and functional benefits were not seen in the AICAR treated dKO mice. This study highlights the importance of utrophin A upregulation to the benefits of the slow, oxidative myogenic program to dystrophic mice. It confirms utrophin A as a therapeutic target in DMD and the slow, oxidative myogenic program as clinically relevant avenue towards treatment of the disease.

▼ Myofibroblasts (MFs) are crucial components of the fibrotic remodelling after cardiac injury. In the present work, we investigate whether AMP-activated protein kinase α1 (AMPKα1) from MFs is a central player in the functional and structural adaptation of the heart in response to myocardial infarction (MI). Our results demonstrate that the MFs-specific invalidation of AMPKα1 (cKO) is associated with an exacerbated left ventricular dilatation and an exaggerated fibrotic response following MI. We assigned it to an up-regulation of miR-125b and a subsequent dramatic reduction in Connexin 43 expression in MFs. Interestingly, we detected elevated miR-125b plasma levels in cKO mice compared to WT after MI. Finally, we confirmed higher circulating miR-125b levels in patients with STEMI that will develop ventricular remodelling four months later, compared to patients without any evidence of post-MI ventricular remodelling.

The LKB1-AMPK signalling pathway drives the hypoxic ventilatory response by regulating brainstem nuclei but not the carotid body.

▼ Ventilatory drive is mediated by respiratory central pattern generators that are located in the brainstem, which are continuously modulated by specialised peripheral and central chemoreceptors to adjust ventilatory patterns according to changes in arterial PO2. These specialised oxygen-sensing chemoreceptors are activated in response to acute reductions in arterial PO2 and ultimately trigger a respiratory response that acts to restore oxygen-levels. However, the molecular mechanism by which mammals are able to regulate their breathing pattern in such a manner during hypoxia remains controversial. Therefore, the studies performed in this thesis aimed to investigate the possibility that this process may be mediated by the liver kinase B 1 (LKB1)/ AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) signalling pathway, which is central to cellular adaptations to metabolic stress. This first involved the development of transgenic mice in which Lkb1 or AMPK were deleted. Global knockout of Lkb1 (Sakamoto, 2006) or AMPK activity (Viollet et al., 2009) are embryonic lethal. Thus, the Cre/loxP system was used to develop transgenic mice that had either Lkb1 or both isoforms of the AMPK catalytic α- subunit (α1 and α2) conditionally knocked out in catecholaminergic cells (including therein hypoxia-activated cells of the brainstem and carotid body) by driving Cre expression through a tyrosine-hydroxylase-specific promoter region. The consequent effects on the ventilatory response to hypoxia were then examined using unrestrained whole-body plethysmography. This demonstrated that, in contrast to the hyperventilation evoked in controls, increased ventilation was virtually abolished in the Lkb1 and AMPK α1 and α2 double knockouts during hypoxia. Both knockout mice also exhibited periods of hypoventilation with frequent apnoeas during hypoxia. Additionally, studies on single AMPK α1 and AMPK α2 knockouts identified that the ventilatory dysfunction in AMPK α1 and α2 double knockouts was primarily caused by AMPK α1 deletion. In contrast, the severe ventilatory abnormalities exhibited during hypoxia following the deletion of Lkb1 and AMPK in catecholaminergic cells were mostly reversed upon exposure of mice to hypoxia with hypercapnia. Also, the ventilatory response to hypercapnia alone was without any major effect as a result of Lkb1 deletion or the dual-deletion of AMPK α1 and α2 catalytic subunits in catecholaminergic cells. This thesis therefore demonstrates, for the first time, that the LKB1-AMPK signalling pathway is key to respiratory adaptations during hypoxia, by regulating catecholaminergic oxygen-sensing cells, thus protecting against hypoventilation and apnoeas. The LKB1-AMPK signaling pathway can thereby determine oxygen and energy supply at both a cellular and whole-body level.

▼ Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a widespread metabolic disorder that has reached epidemic proportions globally, and is now considered to be one of the main threats to human health. The currently available treatment options in T2DM suffer from inadequate efficacy and durability, as well as liabilities, including hypoglycemia, weight gain, edema and gastrointestinal intolerance. Since the efficacy and patient compliance of existing treatments are in many cases unsatisfactory, there is a pronounced need for novel targets, which could complement current treatment.
Evidence accumulated during the last two decades indicates that excessive caloric intake and obesity lead to a chronic low-grade inflammation in metabolic tissues, and increased inflammation may be directly involved in the pathogenesis of T2DM. Therefore, novel pharmacological treatments targeting both the metabolic and inflammatory disruptions seen in T2DM are warranted.
AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is a central master switch important for regulating energy homeostasis at cellular as well as whole body level. Recently, evidence for a role of AMPK in regulation of inflammatory balance has emerged. By using AMPK agonists AICAR and metformin in liver cell lines, primary hepatocytes and in mouse model system in vivo, we demonstrate that AMPK activation in liver leads to decreased inflammatory response to the proinflammatory cytokine IL-6. We further show that the anti-inflammatory action of AMPK was mediated via decreased phosphorylation of several downstream components of the canonical IL-6 receptor signalling pathway. Inhibition of the IL-6 signalling cascade in liver by AMPK supports a role of this kinase as a crucial point of convergence of metabolic and inflammatory pathways in hepatocytes.
Serine/threonine protein kinase 25 (STK25) is broadly expressed in mouse, rat and human tissues. When activated, this kinase is part of several cell processes, such as development, migration and apoptosis. We, for the first time, show that STK25 also has metabolic effects. By using small interfering RNA for Stk25 in rodent muscle cell line L6, we demonstrate that STK25 is involved in regulation of glucose uptake and lipid oxidation. Furthermore, mice overexpressing STK25, when challenged with a high-fat diet, develop reduced glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity compared to wild-type siblings. Increased triglyceride deposition in liver and skeletal muscle, and adipocyte hypertrophy, as observed in Stk25 transgenic mice, suggest that the underlying cause of insulin resistance in conditions of excess dietary fuels is a shift in the metabolic balance from lipid oxidation toward lipid storage in peripheral tissues. Furthermore, Stk25 transgenic mice show increased infiltration of inflammatory cells in liver.
Taken together, both AMPK and STK25 emerge as interesting targets for future treatment of T2DM, enabling to target the dysregulation of both metabolism and inflammation seen in connection with this disease.

▼ This study was to determine (1) if genetic selection for high (HWS) or low (LWS) body
weight in chickens has altered the hypothalamic AMP-activated protein kinase (
AMPK)
system and (2) if this alteration contributes to the dissimilar feeding response to various
appetite modulators between HWS and LWS lines. Compared to HWS, LWS chickens
had higher levels of
AMPK α and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) phosphorylation,
which was caused by upregulation of the upstream factor calcium/calmodulin-dependent
protein kinase kinase 2 (CAMKK β). There was greater mRNA expression of carnitine
palmitoyltransferase I (CPT1), leptin receptor (LEPR) and neuropeptide Y (NPY) and
less mRNA expression of ACC α, fatty acid synthase (FAS), fat mass and obesity
associated gene (FTO), pro-opiomelanocortin (POMC) and orexin in LWS than HWS
chickens. At 5 days of age, intracerebroventricular (ICV) injection of AICAR, 5-amino-
4-imidazolecarboxamide riboside, caused a quadratic dose-dependent decrease in food
intake in LWS but not HWS chicks. Compound C, (6-(4-(2-piperidin-1-yl-ethoxy)-
phenyl))-3-pyridin-4-yl-pyrazolo(1,5-a)-pyrimidine, caused a quadratic dose-dependent
increase in food intake in HWS but not LWS chicks. The anorexigenic effect of AICAR
in LWS chicks and orexigenic effect of Compound C in HWS chicks resulted from either
activation or inhibition of other kinase pathways separate from
AMPK. There is a lower
threshold for the anorexigenic effect of ghrelin in LWS than HWS chicks, which was
associated with differential hypothalamic
AMPK signaling. ICV injection of ghrelin
iii
inhibited corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH), 20-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase
(20HSD), glucocorticoid receptor (GR), CPT1 and FTO expression in LWS but not HWS
chicks. Additionally, the hypothalamic mRNA level of ghrelin was significantly higher in
LWS than HWS chicks, which may also contribute to the differential threshold response
to ghrelin in these two lines. Obestatin caused a linear dose-dependent increase in food
intake in HWS but not LWS chicks. The orexigenic effect of obestatin in HWS chicks
was not associated with altered
AMPK. Obestatin inhibited LEPR and FTO expression in
HWS but not LWS chicks. Thus, selection for body weight may alter the hypothalamic
response to ghrelin by the
AMPK pathway, CRH pathway, CPT1 and FTO, and to
obestatin by LEPR and FTO.

▼ PHLPP2, a member of the PHLPP phosphatase family, which targets oncogenic kinases, has been actively investigated as a tumor suppressor in solid tumors. Little was known, however, regarding its regulation and function in hematological malignancies. The first half of this dissertation describes a novel miR-17~92-based mechanism for repression of PHLPP2 protein expression in late differentiation stage acute myeloid leukemia (AML) subtypes. ATRA (all-trans retinoic acid), a drug used for terminally differentiating AML subtypes, was able to induce PHLPP2 protein levels and phosphatase activity significantly by suppressing miR-17-92 expression. The effect of ATRA on miR-17~92 expression was mediated through its target, transcription factor C/EBP, which interacts with the intronic promoter of the miR-17~92 gene cluster to inhibit its transactivation. The second half of this dissertation provides evidence for a novel metabolic function for PHLPP2 and describes the first identification of the energy sensing kinase, AMPK, as a unique PHLPP2 substrate. PHLPP2 could dephosphorylate phospho-AMPK (T172) both intracellularly and in vitro. PHLPP2 silencing protected Jurkat T-ALL cells from an apoptotic response to low glucose-induced metabolic stress through activation of AMPK signaling. The pro-survival effect of PHLPP2 knockdown under metabolic stress is likely mediated through AMPK-activated fatty acid oxidation. PHLPP2 regulates AMPK phosphorylation in a variety of tumor types and is the first specific AMPK phosphatase to be identified. These studies on PHLPP2 expression and function expand current knowledge and understanding of the role of PHLPP phosphatases in cancer, and particularly in leukemia. In light of the pivotal role played by AMPK in a number of metabolic diseases, the PHLPP2/AMPK axis is also expected to provide new insights into therapies targeting these diseases.

▼ An intrinsic characteristic of all life is the ability to regulate the organism’s internal energy status despite sometimes wildly fluctuating conditions in the external environment. SnRK1 (SNF1-related kinase 1) is the plant orthologue of an evolutionarily conserved, energy-sensing, eukaryotic protein kinase family, including SNF1 from yeast and AMPK from mammals, that plays a major role in the regulation of both cellular and systemic energy homeostasis. The family is functional as heterotrimeric holoenzymes comprising catalytic α¬ and regulatory β and γ subunits, each consisting of several functional domains and each of which may exist in multiple isoforms giving rise to various isoenzymes. Plants contain genes encoding isoforms for each of these subunit types, some of which display unique domain architecture not found outside the plant kingdom. Whilst SNF1 and AMPK have been extensively studied, relatively little is known of how the SnRK1 holoenzyme from plants is regulated and how the various subunit isoforms and their respective functional domains contribute to this regulation. This thesis addresses several aspects of SnRK1 regulation by using biochemical, molecular, and genetic techniques.
The present work has described SnRK1 from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana as a heterotrimeric complex in vitro, existing in six isoenzyme combinations, comprising both classical-type SNF1/AMPK subunits and non-typical plant isoforms, these subunit interactions being confirmed in vivo, with the plant-specific βγ determined to be the sole γ-type subunit. SnRK1, like SNF1 and AMPK, is only minimally active as individual catalytic subunits indicating that SnRK1 is functional as a heterotrimer. Whilst phosphorylation of the α-subunit T-loop threonine is critical for activity this residue is resistant to dephosphorylation by phosphoprotein phosphatases signifying a major divergence in mode of regulation in comparison to SNF1 and AMPK. In addition, whilst the β-subunit carbohydrate-binding modules of AMPK bind glycogen, those of SnRK1 unexpectedly do not associate with glycogen, starch, or a vast array of oligosaccharides and plant-derived polysaccharides.
Genetic and molecular studies focused on the β2 subunit. Analysis of T-DNA insertion mutations in this gene suggest that β2, whilst not drastically impacting plant phenotype under normal growth condition, does reduce the plant’s extent of growth. When the dark period was extended, however, the β2 mutants appeared to suffer from a starch rationing phenotype, not being able to conserve transient leaf starch as in wild-type plants. Using the GUS reporter system, β2 gene expression was observed strongly in vascular tissue, some floral tissue, and the floral organ abscission zone. Finally, in accordance with SnRK1’s role as a central integrator of metabolism, the β2 protein was observed to be localised mainly to the cytoplasm and nucleus by way of fusion to the yellow fluorescent…

▼ Dietary or calorie restriction has been a well‐studied
strategy for increasing survival and preventing carcinogenesis in
mammals. Short‐term starvation, an extreme form of dietary
restriction, can augment cancer treatment efficacy and can be
effective in delaying cancer progression in the absence of
chemotherapy. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms of these
dietary interventions remain elusive. ❧ Here I describe REV1, a
specialized DNA polymerase involved in DNA repair, as an important
signaling node linking nutrient sensing and metabolic control to
cell fate in cancer cells. I have identified that REV1 is a novel
binding partner of the tumor suppressor p53 and regulates its
activity, and that short‐term starvation facilitates the
modifications of these proteins. Under starvation, REV1 is modified
by SUMO2/3, resulting in consequent relief of REV1’s inhibition of
p53 and enhancing p53 activation, pro‐apoptotic genes expression
and in turn p53‐mediated apoptosis in breast cancer and melanoma
cells. Thus, fasting through its effect on REV1 is a promising
non‐toxic strategy to increase p53‐dependent cell death and to
enhance the efficacy of cancer therapies. ❧ In addition, my study
reveals that
AMPK, PKA, and EGR1 are the molecular components of
functional signaling pathway that allows cardiomyocytes to sense
and react to nutrient availability.
AMPK activation and PKA
inhibition under glucose restriction and metformin treatment are
required to promote the induction of EGR1, an immediately early
response gene, and the expression of antioxidant and stress
resistance genes in cardiomyocytes. EGR1 has a consequent
cardioprotective function following doxorubicin treatment. This
study provides that short‐term starvation and metformin have a
protective role in doxorubicin‐induced cardiotoxicity through
AMPK/PKA-EGR1 pathway. ❧ In conclusion, this thesis provides
molecular evidence for short‐term starvation as the promising
intervention to exert differential effects in normal and cancer
cells, contributing to their protection and death in response to
stress, respectively. These data describe REV1 and EGR1 as the
important signaling nodes linking nutrient sensing and metabolic
control under starvation conditions.

Gliomi su najčešći primarni tumori centralnog
nervnog sistema. Glioblastom je gliom gradusa IV, terapijski
rezistentan maligni tumor centralnog nervnog sistema. Nesteroidni
anti-inflamatorni lekovi (NSAIL) su strukturno različite grupe
molekula sa anti-inflamatornim i analgetskim dejstvom koji
ispoljavaju i jak antitumorski efekat kako in vitro tako i in vivo.
U ovoj doktorskoj disertaciji ispitivano je citotoksično dejstvo
NSAIL na ćelije humane linije glioma U251 i ćelije primarne kulture
glioblastoma izolovane iz tkiva obolelih pacijenata. Takođe,
istraživali smo ulogu signalnog puta adenozin-monofosfatom
aktivirane protein-kinaze (AMPK) i mTOR kompleksa 1 (mTORC1 - engl.
mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1) u antigliomskom dejstvu
NSAIL. Indometacin je snažnije od ostalih NSAIL (diklofenaka,
naproksena i ketoprofena) smanjivao vijabilitet U251 ćelija humanog
glioblastoma. Antigliomski efekat indometacina je bio povezan sa
ekspresijom tumor supresorskog proteina p21 i zastojem ćelijskog
ciklusa u G2M fazi, indukcijom oksidativnog stresa, depolarizacijom
mitohondrija, aktivacijom kaspaza i indukcijom apoptoze.
Indometacin je jedini od ispitivanih NSAIL povećavao fosforilaciju
AMPK i nishodnih molekula koje ona fosforiliše, Raptor-a i
acetil-CoA karboksilaze (ACC). Aktivaciju AMPK pratilo je smanjenje
fosforilacije mTOR i molekula čiju aktivnost mTORC1 reguliše, kao
što su ribozomalna p70S6 kinaza (S6K) i PRAS40 (Ser183). Genetska
inhibicija AMPK RNK interferencijom, kao i tretman ćelija
aktivatorom mTORC1 leucinom doveli su do delimičnog poništavanja
citotoksičnih efekata izazvanih indometacinom. Sa druge strane,
farmakološki aktivatori AMPK metformin i AICAR su poput
indometacina ispoljavali antigliomski efekat inhibicijom mTORC1.
Aktivacija AMPK u ćelijama tretiranim indometacinom korelirala je
sa smanjenjem ćelijskog ATP i porastom AMP/ATP odnosa, ali je bila
nezavisna od inhibicije COX i povećanja intraćelijskog nivoa
kalcijuma. Takođe, citotoksični efekat indometacina na ćelije
primarne kulture glioblastoma bio je posredovan aktivacijom
AMPK/Raptor/ACC i inhibicijom mTORC1/S6K signalnih
molekula...
