Untargeted polar metabolomics of transformed MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells expressing varying levels of human arylamine N-acetyltransferase 1.


ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:Human arylamine N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) is a phase II xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme found in almost all tissues. Expression of NAT1 is elevated in several cancers including breast cancer. However, the exact mechanism by which NAT1 expression affects cancer risk and progression remains unclear. OBJECTIVE:This study explored polar metabolome differences between MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells expressing varying levels of NAT1 activity using an untargeted approach. METHODS:Three MDA-MB-231 breast adenocarcinoma cell lines that stably express wild-type, increased, and decreased levels of human NAT1 were investigated for differences in polar metabolic profile using a comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC×GC-TOF MS) system. RESULTS:Increased levels of human NAT1 in the transformed cell lines resulted in a statistically significant decreased abundance of the metabolite palmitoleic acid (q = 0.0006), when compared to normal and decreased levels of human NAT1. The fatty acid synthesis pathway utilizes acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) in the first two reactions of the pathway and eventually leads to the synthesis of palmitoleic acid. CONCLUSION:These data suggest a link between increased levels of NAT1 activity and decreased flux of acetyl-CoA through this portion of the fatty acid synthesis pathway.
