Cells adapt constantly their metabolism to their environment through signalling pathways that act as biosensors of nutrient availability. The kinase tumour suppressor LKB1 and its downstream kinase substrate AMPK are sensors of ATP levels. Under metabolic stress, they refurnish cell energy by activating ATP-generating and inhibiting ATP-consuming processes such as mTOR. Using genetically engineered mouse models of spatio-temporal inactivation of Lkb1, we have recently uncovered that Lkb1/AMPK governs cell fate by connecting mTOR activity to pyruvate-alanine cycling and glutamate- glutamine conversion. We also highlighted that Lkb1 prevents oxidative DNA damages and p53 activation, a necessary process for correct cell fate both in vitro and in vivo. We are currently exploring the underlying molecular mechanisms of LKB1-p53 crosstalk to better understand how LKB1 signalling under metabolic stress impacts p53 non-transcriptional, transcriptional and epigenetics activities in normal and pathological conditions.
