ABSTRACT: While the regulation of metabolic enzymes by oncogenic drivers or tumor suppressors has been intensively studied over recent years, our understanding of how metabolic processes directly regulate cell proliferation has remained fragmentary. Here we show how the alteration of metabolism directly affects cell cycle progression in cancer cells. We found that activation of the nuclear receptor peroxisome-proliferation activated receptor gamma (PPARγ), a transcriptional master regulator of lipid metabolism, inhibits the growth of lung adenocarcinoma cells by triggering a metabolic switch that inhibits pyruvate oxidation and reduces glutathione levels. These PPARγ-induced metabolic changes result in a marked increase of reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels that lead to rapid hypophosphorylation of retinoblastoma protein (RB) and cell cycle arrest. Both of these changes can be prevented by suppressing pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) or β-oxidation of fatty acids. Thus, we provide a mechanism that directly links metabolic changes to inhibition of cancer cell cycle progression by altering ROS levels.
