Nitric oxide (NO) is a product of L-arginine metabolism that suppresses cellular oxidative metabolism through the inhibition of tricarboxylic acid cycle and electron transport chain enzymes. The impact of NO synthase (NOS) activity on specific pathways of glucose metabolism in freshly harvested and overnight-cultured rat resident peritoneal macrophages, at rest and after stimulation with zymosan, was investigated using radiolabeled glucose. NOS activity was modulated through the L-arginine concentration in culture media and the use of its specific inhibitor, NG-monomethyl-L-arginine, and quantitated using radiolabeled L-arginine. Results demonstrated that NOS activity was associated with increased glucose disappearance, glycolysis, and hexose monophosphate shunt activity and, in line with the known inhibition of oxidative metabolism associated with the production of NO, with a decrease in the flux of glucose and butyrate carbon through the tricarboxylic acid cycle. In addition, the relative increase in glucose utilization that follows zymosan stimulation was enhanced by treatments that suppressed NOS activity. These results demonstrate that the characteristics of glucose metabolism by macrophages are, to a significant extent, determined by products of NOS.

Ten-Eleven Translocation-2 (TET2) inactivation through loss-of-function mutation, deletion and IDH1/2 (Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 and 2) gene mutation is a common event in myeloid and lymphoid malignancies. TET2 gene mutations similar to those observed in myeloid and lymphoid malignancies also accumulate with age in otherwise healthy subjects with clonal hematopoiesis. TET2 is one of the three proteins of the TET (Ten-Eleven Translocation) family, which are evolutionarily conserved dioxygenases that catalyze the conversion of 5-methyl-cytosine (5-mC) to 5-hydroxymethyl-cytosine (5-hmC) and promote DNA demethylation. TET dioxygenases require 2-oxoglutarate, oxygen and Fe(II) for their activity, which is enhanced in the presence of ascorbic acid. TET2 is the most expressed TET gene in the hematopoietic tissue, especially in hematopoietic stem cells. In addition to their hydroxylase activity, TET proteins recruit the O-linked -D-N-acetylglucosamine (O-GlcNAc) transferase (OGT) enzyme to chromatin, which promotes post-transcriptional modifications of histones and facilitates gene expression. The TET2 level is regulated by interaction with IDAX, originating from TET2 gene fission during evolution, and by the microRNA miR-22. TET2 has pleiotropic roles during hematopoiesis, including stem-cell self-renewal, lineage commitment and terminal differentiation of monocytes. Analysis of Tet2 knockout mice, which are viable and fertile, demonstrated that Tet2 functions as a tumor suppressor whose haploinsufficiency initiates myeloid and lymphoid transformations. This review summarizes the recently identified TET2 physiological and pathological functions and discusses how this knowledge influences our therapeutic approaches in hematological malignancies and possibly other tumor types.

Epithelial and endothelial tyrosine kinase (Etk), also known as Bmx (bone marrow X kinase) plays an important role in apoptosis of epithelial cells. The goal of this study was to investigate whether Etk is involved in apoptosis of small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells and correlated with the expression levels of apoptosis-associated proteins such as Bcl-2, Bcl-X(L) and p53. One hundred and seventy-one cases of lung cancer specimens including seventy-one SCLCs and one hundred NSCLCs were immunostained for Etk, Bcl-2, Bcl-X(L) and p53. Parental SCLC H446 cell line, and its subline (H446-Etk) that overexpresses Etk, were used to study the role of Etk in apoptosis induced by doxorubicin. It was found that high expression of Etk occurs in 74.6% of SCLC cases, but only in 40% of NSCLC cases, and there is marked difference in the expression levels of Bcl-2, Bcl-X(L) and p53 between Etk-positive and Etk-negative SCLC cases. Furthermore, the levels of Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L) significantly increased in H446-Etk cells than that in H446 cells after doxorubicin treatment, and were positively associated with Etk expression. However, p53 did not correspond with Etk expression although its expression decreased greatly with apoptosis both in H446-Etk and H446 cells. After doxorubicin treatment, the cell viability was significantly higher in H446-Etk cells than in parental H446 cells. Downregulation of Etk by Etk siRNA sensitized H446 cells to doxorubicin. Our results indicate that upregulation of tyrosine kinase Etk may be a new mechanism involved in protection of SCLC cells from apoptosis. Bcl-2 and Bcl-X(L) but not p53 may contribute to doxorubicin-induced apoptosis through Etk pathway.
