Thus, our results showed that S485 phosphorylation was increased in colorectal cancer specimens as compared with adjacent normal tissues, which was inversely correlated to phosphorylation of T172. Our study further revealed that phosphorylation of S485 on AMPKα1 plays a promoting role in cell proliferation, colony formation, migration and growth of Xenograft tumor. Furthermore, we identified PKCα as a kinase specific for phosphorylation of S485. First, under the basal condition, S485 phosphorylation was blunted by Gö6983, a pan PKC inhibitor, but not by Akt inhibitor, MK2206, although the latter countered off the insulin-stimulated phosphorylation. Second, the phosphorylation was enhanced by PMA and attenuated by sgRNA for PKCα, but not by PKCγ and PKCδ, neither by siRNA for Akt1. Third, the phosphorylation was suppressed by shRNA for PLCγ1. Fourth, the phosphorylation was enhanced by ectopically expressing a constitutively active mutant of PKCα, but not PKCγ. Finally, the increase of S485 phosphorylation by high glucose or palmitic acid was almost completely abolished by Gö6983. Altogether, our data reinforced the tumor suppressive function of AMPK and demonstrated that PKCα is a major kinase responsible for phosphorylation of S485, which contributes to one of the mechanisms underlying the regulation of AMPK in cancer cells in response to nutritional conditions.</p>","PeriodicalId":9506,"journal":{"name":"Cancer letters","volume":" ","pages":"217418"},"PeriodicalIF":9.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142892295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Driver mutations represent promising immunogenic targets, but a comprehensive characterization of the AML neoantigen landscape and their impact on patient outcomes and the AML immune microenvironment remain unclear. Herein, we conducted matched DNA and RNA sequencing on 304 AML patients and extensively integrated data from additional ∼2,500 AML cases, identifying 49 driver genes, notably characterized by a significant proportion of insertions and deletions (indels). Neoantigen analysis showed that indels triggered a higher abundance of neoantigens both in quantity and quality compared to single nucleotide variants (SNVs) and gene fusions. By integrating peptide features pertinent to neoantigen presentation and T cell recognition, we developed two robust models of epitope immunogenicity that significantly enriched immunogenic neoepitopes. We validated 30 neoantigens through in vitro direct binding assays of predicted peptides to MHC proteins and confirmed the immunogenicity of 20 neoantigens using interferon-γ ELISpot and tetramer assays. Moreover, we demonstrated that patients with higher neoantigen loads, derived from driver mutations, exhibited poor clinical outcomes and an IFN-driven adaptive immune response, which was associated with immune suppression and tumor evasion. Through deconvolution of large-scale bulk transcriptomes, integration of single-cell RNA sequencing and multiparametric flow cytometry, we confirmed a strong association between neoantigen load and CD8<sup>+</sup> T cell exhaustion.
