Differential incorporation of glucose into biomass during Warburg metabolism.

ABSTRACT: It is well established that most cancer cells take up an increased amount of glucose relative to that taken up by normal differentiated cells. The majority of this glucose carbon is secreted from the cell as lactate. The fate of the remaining glucose carbon, however, has not been well-characterized. Here we apply a novel combination of metabolomic technologies to track uniformly labeled glucose in HeLa cancer cells. We provide a list of specific intracellular metabolites that become enriched after being labeled for 48 h and quantitate the fraction of consumed glucose that ends up in proteins, peptides, sugars/glycerol, and lipids.

Glucose Metabolism in Cancer: The Warburg Effect and Beyond.

Project description:Otto Warburg observed a peculiar phenomenon in 1924, unknowingly laying the foundation for the field of cancer metabolism. While his contemporaries hypothesized that tumor cells derived the energy required for uncontrolled replication from proteolysis and lipolysis, Warburg instead found them to rapidly consume glucose, converting it to lactate even in the presence of oxygen. The significance of this finding, later termed the Warburg effect, went unnoticed by the broader scientific community at that time. The field of cancer metabolism lay dormant for almost a century awaiting advances in molecular biology and genetics, which would later open the doors to new cancer therapies [2, 3].

A Flux Balance of Glucose Metabolism Clarifies the Requirements of the Warburg Effect.

Project description:The Warburg effect, or aerobic glycolysis, is marked by the increased metabolism of glucose to lactate in the presence of oxygen. Despite its widespread prevalence in physiology and cancer biology, the causes and consequences remain incompletely understood. Here, we show that a simple balance of interacting fluxes in glycolysis creates constraints that impose the necessary conditions for glycolytic flux to generate lactate as opposed to entering into the mitochondria. These conditions are determined by cellular redox and energy demands. By analyzing the constraints and sampling the feasible region of the model, we further study how cell proliferation rate and mitochondria-associated NADH oxidizing and ATP producing fluxes are interlinked. Together this analysis illustrates the simplicity of the origins of the Warburg effect by identifying the flux distributions that are necessary for its instantiation.

HDO production from [<sup>2</sup>H<sub>7</sub>]glucose Quantitatively Identifies Warburg Metabolism.

Project description:Increased glucose uptake and aerobic glycolysis are striking features of many cancers. These features have led to many techniques for screening and diagnosis, but many are expensive, less feasible or have harmful side-effects. Here, we report a sensitive 1H/2H NMR method to measure the kinetics of lactate isotopomer and HDO production using a deuterated tracer. To test this hypothesis, HUH-7 hepatocellular carcinoma and AML12 normal hepatocytes were incubated with [2H7]glucose. 1H/2H NMR data were recorded for cell media as a function of incubation time. The efflux rate of lactate-CH3, lactate-CH2D and lactate-CHD2 was calculated as 0.0033, 0.0071, and 0.0.012 µmol/106cells/min respectively. Differential production of lactate isotopomers was due to deuterium loss during glycolysis. Glucose uptake and HDO production by HUH-7 cells showed a strong correlation, indicating that monitoring the HDO production could be a diagnostic feature in cancers. Deuterium mass balance of [2H7]glucose uptake to 2H-lactate and HDO production is quantitatively matched, suggesting increasing HDO signal could be used to diagnose Warburg (cancer) metabolism. Measuring the kinetics of lactate isotopomer and HDO production by 1H and 2H MR respectively are highly sensitive. Increased T1 of 2H-lactate isotopomers indicates inversion/saturation recovery methods may be a simple means of generating metabolism-based contrast.

Parkin, a p53 target gene, mediates the role of p53 in glucose metabolism and the Warburg effect.

Project description:Regulation of energy metabolism is a novel function of p53 in tumor suppression. Parkin (PARK2), a Parkinson disease-associated gene, is a potential tumor suppressor whose expression is frequently diminished in tumors. Here Parkin was identified as a p53 target gene that is an important mediator of p53's function in regulating energy metabolism. The human and mouse Parkin genes contain functional p53 responsive elements, and p53 increases the transcription of Parkin in both humans and mice. Parkin contributes to the function of p53 in glucose metabolism; Parkin deficiency activates glycolysis and reduces mitochondrial respiration, leading to the Warburg effect. Restoration of Parkin expression reverses the Warburg effect in cells. Thus, Parkin deficiency is a novel mechanism for the Warburg effect in tumors. Parkin also contributes to the function of p53 in antioxidant defense. Furthermore, Parkin deficiency sensitizes mice to ?-irradiation-induced tumorigenesis, which provides further direct evidence to support a role of Parkin in tumor suppression. Our results suggest that as a novel component in the p53 pathway, Parkin contributes to the functions of p53 in regulating energy metabolism, especially the Warburg effect, and antioxidant defense, and thus the function of p53 in tumor suppression.

Differential glucose metabolism in weight restored women with anorexia nervosa.

Project description:Women with anorexia nervosa (AN) develop visceral adiposity associated with insulin resistance after partial weight restoration, but little is known about the glucose homeostasis after full weight restoration. In this investigation, we studied glucose homeostasis in twenty-four women with AN before (AN) and after weight restoration (WR) at a single institution, with both restricting and binge-purge subtypes (>70% binge-purge), compared to gender-, age- and BMI-matched healthy controls (HC). Participants underwent fasting plasma hormone analysis, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and body composition analysis. Glucose homeostasis was assessed by the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) and OGTT, and parameters were analyzed for association with body composition. We observed that a subset of the WR patients (21%) had metabolically unhealthy HOMA insulin resistance estimates (HOMA-IR), while this was not seen in the control group. Overall mean HOMA-IR between groups were not significantly different. Mean glucose reactivity was higher in the WR group than HC women (p = 0.008, Hedges' g = 0.811), and time-adjusted glucose reactivity in the WR group was inversely associated with visceral adiposity (r = -0.559, p = 0.006), but not with fat mass (r = -273, p = 0.208) or lean mass (r = -0.002, p = 0.994). Our findings suggest that glucose response during the OGTT in women with AN is altered in association with visceral adiposity acutely after full weight restoration, but that they do not develop overt insulin resistance. Glucometabolic profiling could offer novel insights to energy homeostasis acutely after weight restoration.

Differential Effects of Rapamycin on Glucose Metabolism in Nine Inbred Strains.

Project description:Studies in mice suggest that rapamycin has a negative impact on glucose homeostasis by inducing insulin resistance. However, results have been inconsistent and difficult to assess because the strains, methods of treatment, and analysis vary among studies. Using a consistent protocol, we surveyed nine inbred strains of mice for the effect of rapamycin on various aspects of glucose metabolism. Across all strains, rapamycin significantly delayed glucose clearance after challenge. However, rapamycin showed no main effect on systemic insulin sensitivity. Analysis of individual strains shows that rapamycin induced higher glucose values at 15 minutes post-challenge in 7/9 strains. However, only three strains show rapamycin-induced reduction in glucose clearance from 15 to 120 minutes. Although pancreatic insulin content was reduced by rapamycin in seven strains, none showed reduced serum insulin values. Although one strain showed no effects of rapamycin on glucose metabolism (129), another showed increased systemic insulin sensitivity (B6). We suggest that rapamycin likely inhibits insulin production and secretion in most strains while having strain-specific effects on glucose clearance without altering systemic insulin sensitivity. This strain survey indicates that genetic differences greatly influence the metabolic response to rapamycin.

Real-Time Measurement of Cellobiose and Glucose Formation during Enzymatic Biomass Hydrolysis.

Project description:Enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass for biofuel production relies on complex multi-enzyme ensembles. Continuous and accurate measurement of the released key products is crucial in optimizing the industrial degradation process and also investigating the activity and interaction between the involved enzymes and the insoluble substrate. Amperometric biosensors have been applied to perform continuous cellobiose measurements during the enzymatic hydrolysis of pure cellulose powders. The oxygen-sensitive mediators used in these biosensors restricted their function under physiological or industrial conditions. Also, the combined measurements of the hydrolysis products cellobiose and glucose require a high selectivity of the biorecognition elements. We employed an [Os(2,2'-bipyridine)2Cl]Cl-modified polymer and cellobiose dehydrogenase to fabricate a cellobiose biosensor, which can accurately and specifically detect cellobiose even in the presence of oxygen and the other main product glucose. Additionally, a glucose biosensor was fabricated to simultaneously measure glucose produced from cellobiose by β-glucosidases. The cellobiose and glucose biosensors work at applied potentials of +0.25 and +0.45 V versus Ag|AgCl (3 M KCl), respectively, and can selectively detect their substrate. Both biosensors were used in combination to monitor the hydrolysis of pure cellulose of low crystallinity or industrial corncob samples. The obtained results correlate with the high-performance liquid chromatography pulsed amperometric detection analysis and demonstrate that neither oxygen nor the presence of redox-active compounds from the lignin fraction of the corncob interferes with the measurements.

Glutamine metabolism and radiosensitivity: Beyond the Warburg effect.

Project description:Mounting data suggest that cancer cell metabolism can be utilized therapeutically to halt cell proliferation, metastasis and disease progression. Radiation therapy is a critical component of cancer treatment in curative and palliative settings. The use of metabolism-based therapeutics has become increasingly popular in combination with radiotherapy to overcome radioresistance. Over the past year, a focus on glutamine metabolism in the setting of cancer therapy has emerged. In this mini-review, we discuss several important ways (DNA damage repair, oxidative stress, epigenetic modification and immune modulation) glutamine metabolism drives cancer growth and progression, and present data that inhibition of glutamine utilization can lead to radiosensitization in preclinical models. Future research is needed in the clinical realm to determine whether glutamine antagonism is a feasible synergistic therapy that can be combined with radiotherapy.

Glucose metabolism during rotational shift-work in healthcare workers.

Project description:Shift-work is associated with circadian rhythm disruption and an increased risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes. We sought to determine the effect of rotational shift-work on glucose metabolism in humans.We studied 12 otherwise healthy nurses performing rotational shift-work using a randomised crossover study design. On each occasion, participants underwent an isotope-labelled mixed meal test during a simulated day shift and a simulated night shift, enabling simultaneous measurement of glucose flux and beta cell function using the oral minimal model. We sought to determine differences in fasting and postprandial glucose metabolism during the day shift vs the night shift.Postprandial glycaemic excursion was higher during the night shift (381±33 vs 580±48 mmol/l per 5 h, p<0.01). The time to peak insulin and C-peptide and nadir glucagon suppression in response to meal ingestion was also delayed during the night shift. While insulin action did not differ between study days, the beta cell responsivity to glucose (59±5 vs 44±4 × 10-9 min-1; p<0.001) and disposition index were decreased during the night shift.Impaired beta cell function during the night shift may result from normal circadian variation, the effect of rotational shift-work or a combination of both. As a consequence, higher postprandial glucose concentrations are observed during the night shift.
