Emerging Roles for Branched-Chain Amino Acid Metabolism in Cancer
Publication date: 10 February 2020Source: Cancer Cell, Volume 37, Issue 2Author(s): Sharanya Sivanand, Matthew G. Vander HeidenMetabolic pathways must be adapted to support cell processes required for transformation and cancer progression. Amino acid metabolism is deregulated in many cancers, with changes in branched-chain amino acid metabolism specifically affecting cancer cell state as well as systemic metabolism in individuals with malignancy. This review highlights key concepts surrounding the current understanding of branched-chain amino acid metabolism and its role in cancer. (Source: Cancer Cell)

Direct Phosphorylation and Stabilization of MYC by Aurora B Kinase Promote T-cell Leukemogenesis
Publication date: 10 February 2020Source: Cancer Cell, Volume 37, Issue 2Author(s): Jue Jiang, Jingchao Wang, Ming Yue, Xiaolian Cai, Tianci Wang, Chao Wu, Hexiu Su, Yanwu Wang, Meng Han, Yingchi Zhang, Xiaofan Zhu, Peng Jiang, Peng Li, Yonghua Sun, Wuhan Xiao, Hui Feng, Guoliang Qing, Hudan LiuSummaryDeregulation of MYC plays an essential role in T cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), yet the mechanisms underlying its deregulation remain elusive. Herein, we identify a molecular mechanism responsible for reciprocal activation between Aurora B kinase (AURKB) and MYC. AURKB directly phosphorylates MYC at serine 67, co...

EZH2 Inhibition Sensitizes CARM1-High, Homologous Recombination Proficient Ovarian Cancers to PARP Inhibition
Publication date: Available online 30 January 2020Source: Cancer CellAuthor(s): Sergey Karakashev, Takeshi Fukumoto, Bo Zhao, Jianhuang Lin, Shuai Wu, Nail Fatkhutdinov, Pyoung-Hwa Park, Galina Semenova, Stephanie Jean, Mark G. Cadungog, Mark E. Borowsky, Andrew V. Kossenkov, Qin Liu, Rugang ZhangSummaryIn response to DNA double-strand breaks, MAD2L2-containing shieldin complex plays a critical role in the choice between homologous recombination (HR) and non-homologous end-joining (NHEJ)-mediated repair. Here we show that EZH2 inhibition upregulates MAD2L2 and sensitizes HR-proficient epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) to pol...

Herring, Sarah Ahn, Yang Xu, Kyogo Suzuki, Guangming Li, Ourania Tsahouridis, Lishan Su, Barbara Savoldo, Gianpietro DottiSummaryChimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell costimulation mediated by CD28 and 4-1BB is essential for CAR-T cell-induced tumor regression. However, CD28 and 4-1BB differentially modulate kinetics, metabolism and persistence of CAR-T cells, and the mechanisms governing these differences are not fully understood. We found that LCK recruited into ...
