摘要: Liver metastasis is a leading cause of death in patients with colorectal cancer. We previously found that cancer tumor-initiating cells (TICs) expressing CD110, the thrombopoietin (TPO)-binding receptor, mediate liver metastasis. Here, we show TPO promotes CD110+ TICs to by activating lysine degradation. Lysine catabolism generates acetyl-CoA, which used p300-dependent LRP6 acetylation. This triggers tyrosine phosphorylation LRP6, ultimately Wnt signaling promote self-renewal of CD110+ TICs. also glutamate, modulates redox status colonization and drug resistance. Mechanistically, TPO-mediated induction c-myc orchestrates recruitment chromatin modifiers regulate metabolic gene expression. Our findings, therefore, establish as component physiological environment critical for liver.
