Targeting Ketone Body Metabolism in Mitigating Gemcitabine Resistance


ABSTRACT: Chemotherapy is often combined with surgery for muscle invasive and non-muscle invasive bladder cancer. However, 70% of the patients recur within 5 years. Metabolic reprogramming is an emerging hallmark in cancer chemoresistance. Here, we report a gemcitabine resistance mechanism which promotes cancer reprogramming via the metabolic enzyme, OXCT1. This mitochondrial enzyme, responsible for the rate-limiting step in β-hydroxybutyrate (βHB) catabolism, was elevated in muscle invasive disease and in chemo-resistant bladder cancer patients. Resistant orthotopic tumors presented an OXCT1-dependent rise in mitochondrial oxygen consumption rate, ATP, and nucleotide biosynthesis. In resistant bladder cancer, knocking out OXCT1 restored gemcitabine sensitivity, and administering the non-metabolizable βHB, enantiomer (S-βHB) only partially restored gemcitabine sensitivity. Suggesting an extra-metabolic role for OXCT1, multi-omics analysis of gemcitabine sensitive and resistant cells revealed an OXCT1-dependent signature with the transcriptional repressor, OVOL1, as a master regulator of epithelial differentiation. The elevation of OVOL1 target genes was associated with its cytoplasmic translocation and poor prognosis in a chemotherapy-treated BCa patient cohort. The knockout of OXCT1 restored OVOL1 transcriptional repressive activity by its nuclear translocation. Orthotopic mouse models of bladder cancer supported OXCT1 as a mediator of gemcitabine sensitivity through ketone metabolism and regulating cancer stem cell differentiation.
