SIPA1 Enhances Aerobic Glycolysis Through HIF-2α Pathway to Promote Breast Cancer Metastasis.

ABSTRACT: Increased dependence on aerobic glycolysis is characteristic of most cancer cells, whereas the mechanism underlying the promotion of aerobic glycolysis in metastatic breast cancer cells under ambient oxygen has not been well understood. Here, we demonstrated that aberrant expression of signal-induced proliferation-associated 1 (SIPA1) enhanced aerobic glycolysis and altered the main source of ATP production from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis in breast cancer cells. We revealed that SIPA1 promoted the transcription of EPAS1, which is known as the gene encoding hypoxia-inducible factor-2α (HIF-2α) and up-regulated the expression of multiple glycolysis-related genes to increase aerobic glycolysis. We also found that blocking aerobic glycolysis by either knocking down SIPA1 expression or oxamate treatment led to the suppression of tumor metastasis of breast cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo. Taken together, aberrant expression of SIPA1 resulted in the alteration of glucose metabolism from oxidative phosphorylation to aerobic glycolysis even at ambient oxygen levels, which might aggravate the malignancy of breast cancer cells. The present findings indicate a potential target for the development of therapeutics against breast cancers with dysregulated SIPA1 expression.

Project description:BackgroundTriple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains the most challenging subtype of breast cancer and lacks definite treatment targets. Aerobic glycolysis is a hallmark of metabolic reprogramming that contributes to cancer progression. PFKP is a rate-limiting enzyme involved in aerobic glycolysis, which is overexpressed in various types of cancers. However, the underlying mechanisms and roles of the posttranslational modification of PFKP in TNBC remain unknown.MethodsTo explore whether PFKP protein has a potential role in the progression of TNBC, protein levels of PFKP in TNBC and normal breast tissues were examined by CPTAC database analysis, immunohistochemistry staining (IHC), and western blotting assay. Further CCK-8 assay, colony formation assay, EDU incorporation assay, and tumor xenograft experiments were used to detect the effect of PFKP on TNBC progression. To clarify the role of the USP5-PFKP pathway in TNBC progression, ubiquitin assay, co-immunoprecipitation (Co-IP), mass spectrometry-based protein identification, western blotting assay, immunofluorescence microscopy, in vitro binding assay, and glycolysis assay were conducted.ResultsHerein, we showed that PFKP protein was highly expressed in TNBC, which was associated with TNBC progression and poor prognosis of patients. In addition, we demonstrated that PFKP depletion significantly inhibited the TNBC progression in vitro and in vivo. Importantly, we identified that PFKP was a bona fide target of deubiquitinase USP5, and the USP5-mediated deubiquitination and stabilization of PFKP were essential for cancer cell aerobic glycolysis and TNBC progression. Moreover, we found a strong positive correlation between the expression of USP5 and PFKP in TNBC samples. Notably, the high expression of USP5 and PFKP was significantly correlated with poor clinical outcomes.ConclusionsOur study established the USP5-PFKP axis as an important regulatory mechanism of TNBC progression and provided a rationale for future therapeutic interventions in the treatment of TNBC.

Project description:Background and Objective: Glucose fluctuation (GF) has been reported to induce renal injury and diabetic nephropathy (DN). However, the mechanism still remains ambiguous. Mitochondrial energy metabolism, especially aerobic glycolysis, has been a hotspot of DN research for decades. The activation of HIF-1α/miR210/ISCU/FeS axis has provided a new explanation for aerobic glycolysis. Our previous studies indicated quercetin as a potential therapeutic drug for DN. This study aims to evaluate levels of aerobic glycolysis and repressive effect of quercetin via HIF-1α/miR210/ISCU/FeS axis in a cell model of GF. Methods: The mouse glomerular mesangial cells (MCs) were exposed in high or oscillating glucose with or without quercetin treatment. Cell viability was measured by CCK8 assay. Aerobic glycolysis flux was evaluated by lactate acid, pH activity of PFK. Apoptosis level was confirmed by Annexin V-APC/7-AAD double staining and activity of caspase-3. TNF-α and IL-1β were used to evaluate inflammation levels. Results: GF deteriorated inflammation damage and apoptosis injury in MCs, while quercetin could alleviate this GF-triggered cytotoxicity. GF intensified aerobic glycolysis in MCs and quercetin could inhibit this intensification in a dose-dependent manner. Quercetin prevented activities of two FeS-dependent metabolic enzymes, aconitase, and complex I, under GF injury in MCs. The mRNA expression and protein contents of HIF-1α were increased after GF exposure, and these could be alleviated by quercetin treatment. Knockdown of ISCU by siRNA and Up-regulating of miR-210 by mimic could weaken the effects of quercetin that maintained protein levels of ISCU1/2, improved cell viability, relieved inflammation injury, decreased apoptosis, and reduced aerobic glycolysis switch in MCs. Conclusion: Quercetin antagonizes GF-induced renal injury by suppressing aerobic glycolysis via HIF-1α/miR-210/ISCU/FeS pathway in MCs cell model. Our findings contribute to a new insight into understanding the mechanism of GF-induced renal injury and protective effects of quercetin.
