    Coincidence detection of mitogenic signals via cytosolic pH regulates Cyclin D1 expression
    (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2020-07-16)
    Abstract Enhanced cell growth and proliferation are accompanied by profound changes in cellular metabolism. Originally identified as the Warburg effect in cancer, such metabolic changes are also common under physiological conditions and include increased fermentation and elevated cytosolic pH (pHc) 1,2 . However, how these changes contribute to enhanced cell growth and proliferation is unclear. Here, we demonstrate that elevated pHc specifically orchestrates an E2F-dependent transcriptional program to drive cell proliferation by promoting Cyclin D1 expression. pHc-dependent transcription of Cyclin D1 requires the transcription factors CREB1/ATF1 and ETS1 and the Histone Acetyltransferases p300/CBP. Interestingly, biochemical characterization revealed that the CREB1-p300/CBP interaction acts as a pH-sensor and coincidence detector linking different mitotic signals to Cyclin D1 transcription. We also show that elevated pHc contributes to increased Cyclin D1 expression in Malignant Pleural Mesotheliomas (MPMs) and renders them hypersensitive to pharmacological reduction of pHc. Taken together, these data demonstrate that elevated pHc is a critical cellular signal regulating G1 progression and provide a mechanism linking elevated pHc to oncogenic activation of Cyclin D1 in MPMs and possibly other Cyclin D1-dependent tumors. Thus, an increase of pHc may represent a functionally important, early event in the etiology of cancer amenable to therapeutic intervention.

    Cytosolic pH regulates proliferation and tumour growth by promoting expression of cyclin D1
    (Nature Research, 2020-11-01)
    Enhanced growth and proliferation of cancer cells are accompanied by profound changes in cellular metabolism. These metabolic changes are also common under physiological conditions, and include increased glucose fermentation accompanied by elevated cytosolic pH (pHc)1,2. However, how these changes contribute to enhanced cell growth and proliferation is unclear. Here, we show that elevated pHc specifically orchestrates an E2F-dependent transcriptional programme to drive cell proliferation by promoting cyclin D1 expression. pHc-dependent transcription of cyclin D1 requires the transcription factors CREB1, ATF1 and ETS1, and the histone acetyltransferases p300 and CBP. Biochemical characterization revealed that the CREB1–p300/CBP interaction acts as a pH sensor and coincidence detector, integrating different mitotic signals to regulate cyclin D1 transcription. We also show that elevated pHc contributes to increased cyclin D1 expression in malignant pleural mesotheliomas (MPMs), and renders these cells hypersensitive to pharmacological reduction of pHc. Taken together, these data demonstrate that elevated pHc is a critical cellular signal regulating G1 progression, and provide a mechanism linking elevated pHc to oncogenic activation of cyclin D1 in MPMs, and possibly other cyclin D1~dependent tumours. Thus, an increase of pHc may represent a functionally important, early event in the aetiology of cancer that is amenable to therapeutic intervention.
