The binding of natural and fluorescent lysophospholipids to wild-type and mutant rat liver fatty acid-binding protein and albumin.

ABSTRACT: Rat liver fatty acid-binding protein (FABP) is able to bind a wide range of non-polar anionic ligands, including lysophospholipids. In order to understand the nature of lysophospholipid interactions with liver FABP, the binding of natural lysophospholipids and two fluorescent analogues, N-(5-dimethylaminonaphthalenesulphonyl)-1-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphoethanolamine (dansyl lysoPE) and 1-(O-[11-(5-dimethylaminonaphthalene-sulphonyl)amino]undecyl)-sn-glycero -3- phosphocholine (dansyl-C11-lysoPAF), has been investigated. The results confirmed the ability of liver FABP to bind lysophospholipids with KD values in the range of 1-2 microM, and a 1:1 binding stoichiometry was indicated. Binding of fluorescent lysophospholipids was enhanced with the FABP mutant, R122Q, possibly due to increased flexibility of the binding cavity as a result of reduced hydrogen-bonding constraints. The fluorescent lysophospholipids also bound to albumin, with KD values in the range 0.1-1.0 microM, and could be displaced by oleic acid. The fluorescence characteristics of the dansyl lysophospholipid analogue dansyl-C11-lyso-PAF suggested that this probe binds to the same site(s) on albumin as the fluorescent fatty acid probe 11-(5-dimethylaminonaphthalene-sulphonylamino)-undecanoic acid (DAUDA).

Project description:Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) is the most commonly mutated metabolic enzyme in human malignancy. A heterozygous genetic alteration, arginine 132, promotes the conversion of ?-ketoglutarate to D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG). Although pharmacologic inhibitors of mutant IDH1 are promising, resistance mechanisms to targeted therapy are not understood. Additionally, the role of wild-type IDH1 (WT.IDH1) in cancer requires further study. Recently, it was observed that the regulatory RNA-binding protein, HuR (ELAVL1), protects nutrient-deprived cancer cells without IDH1 mutations, by stabilizing WT.IDH1 transcripts. In the present study, a similar regulatory effect on both mutant (Mut.IDH1) and WT.IDH1 transcripts in heterozygous IDH1-mutant tumors is observed. In ribonucleoprotein immunoprecipitation assays of IDH1-mutant cell lines, wild-type and mutant IDH1 mRNAs each bound to HuR. Both isoforms were profoundly downregulated at the mRNA and protein levels after genetic suppression of HuR (siRNAs or CRISPR deletion) in HT1080 (R132C IDH1 mutation) and BT054 cells (R132H). Proliferation and invasion were adversely affected after HuR suppression and metabolomic studies revealed a reduction in Pentose Phosphate Pathway metabolites, nucleotide precursors, and 2-HG levels. HuR-deficient cells were especially sensitive to stress, including low glucose conditions or a mutant IDH1 inhibitor (AGI-5198). IDH1-mutant cancer cells were rescued by WT.IDH1 overexpression to a greater extent than Mut.IDH1 overexpression under these conditions. This study reveals the importance of HuR's regulation of both mutant and wild-type IDH1 in tumors harboring a heterozygous IDH1 mutation with implications for therapy. IMPLICATIONS: This study highlights the HuR-IDH1 (mutant and wild-type IDH1) regulatory axis as a critical, actionable therapeutic target in IDH1-mutated cancer, and incomplete blockade of the entire HuR-IDH1 survival axis would likely diminish the efficacy of drugs that selectively target only the mutant isoenzyme.
