Abstrakt: Abstract: Allogeneic T cells reprogram their metabolism during acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in a process involving the cellular energy sensor adenosine monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK). Deletion of AMPK in donor T cells limits GVHD but still preserves homeostatic reconstitution and graft-versus-leukemia effects. In the current studies, murine AMPK knock-out (KO) T cells decreased oxidative metabolism at early time points posttransplant and lacked a compensatory increase in glycolysis after inhibition of the electron transport chain. Immunoprecipitation using an antibody specific to phosphorylated targets of AMPK determined that AMPK modified interactions of several glycolytic enzymes including aldolase, enolase, pyruvate kinase M, and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), with enzyme assays confirming impaired aldolase and GAPDH activity in AMPK KO T cells. Importantly, these changes in glycolysis correlated with both an impaired ability of AMPK KO T cells to produce significant amounts of interferon gamma upon antigenic restimulation and a decrease in the total number of donor CD4 T cells recovered at later times posttransplant. Human T cells lacking AMPK gave similar results, with glycolytic compensation impaired both in vitro and after expansion in vivo. Xenogeneic GVHD results also mirrored those of the murine model, with reduced CD4/CD8 ratios and a significant improvement in disease severity. Together these data highlight a significant role for AMPK in controlling oxidative and glycolytic metabolism in both murine and human T cells and endorse further study of AMPK inhibition as a potential clinical target for future GVHD therapies.
