REGULATION OF CASPASE DEPENDENT AND INDEPENDENT CELL DEATH

Metabolic control of cell deaths in cancer

Our research project is centred on cell death regulation, a physiological process whose deregulation is a critical event occurring in a wide variety of pathology (cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, auto-immune disease, ...). Our research is focused on the role of two different but intertwined type of cell death (apoptosis and caspase-independent cell death) on oncogenesis.
Engagement of the mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis in mammalian cells will commit a cell to die regardless if the caspases (protease involved in apoptosis) are activated or not. It is now clearly established that mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) will lead to apoptosis and to caspase-independent cell death (CICD) at the same time. It appeared that apoptosis is the main and quickest response to a death signal, CICD being considered as a “back-up” mechanism resulting in the death of the cell if apoptosis is deficient, therefore preventing transformation. Using unique and original approaches we have identified key events in each type of cell death.
On one side we have nailed how caspases could lead to mitochondrial dismantling during apoptosis (by cleaving the mitochondrial protein p75, Ricci et al. Cell 2004). Then we participated to the identification of p75 cleavage upon tolerance induction (Kazama H, et al. Immunity 2008). In parallel we identified the existing link between glycolysis and caspases. We determined how caspases could turn off glycolysis upon apoptosis induction. In addition we uncovered how glucose metabolism could control death receptor-induced apoptosis (Pradelli et al. submitted).

On the other side we were the first to identify conditions under which cells can survive the induction of MOMP, provided subsequent caspase activation is blocked or disrupted (i.e. during CICD condition). This protection is mediated by the expression of the glycolytic enzyme GAPDH (Colell et al. Cell 2007, for review see Colell et al. Cell Death Dif 2009). We next analysed CICD's role in cancer. We demonstrated that apoptosis and CICD can occur in presence of Imatinib mesylate in cell models of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. In addition we showed that CML cell line mutants presenting a resistance to classical treatment are overexpressing GAPDH and that a moderate modulation of this protein level is sufficient to sensitize resistant cells to treatment (Lavallard et al. Cancer Res 2009). We are currently investigating CICD role in cancer genesis using several in vivo models (transgenic and knock-out mice).
Finally, we are investigating the impact of cell metabolism on CICD in patient samples suffering from a peritoneal carcinomatosis. This study is made in collaboration with Pr. Marc Raucoules-Aime and Pr. Daniel Benchimol departments of the Archet hospital, Nice, France.

In conclusion, our research project will allow a better characterization of new and central aspects of cell death regulation and their connection to tumorigenesis (focusing on hematopoietic malignancies and peritoneal carcinomatosis).
