Tryptophan restriction blocks MYC-driven tumorigenesis and reprograms cancer cells to rely on lipolysis


ABSTRACT: Cancer cells vary in their nutritional dependencies, thus characterization of nutrient demand of each tumor type is needed to uncover specific vulnerabilities. We demonstrate that MYC-driven liver tumors rely on increased tryptophan (Trp) uptake to grow. By following 13C-Trp in vivo-labeling, we found that Trp catabolism is reduced while its incorporation into proteins is increased in tumors. Trp deprivation prevents MYC-driven tumors from arising, as well as the growth of xenografted cells while minimally affecting normal cells. Trp starvation causes a reduction in the expression of growth-related and ribosome biogenesis genes while enhancing regulators of lipid metabolism, including PPAR, and enzymes involved in -oxidation and ketosis. Under Trp starvation, surviving cancer cells are reprogramed to utilize lipids; thus, providing a high-fat diet rescued the growth of tumors starved of Trp. We shows that Trp deprivation may be a powerful tool to treat liver tumors if dietary fat intake is low.
