Knock down of MTHFD2 of lung adenocarcinoma cell line H322

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer is leading cause of cancer-related death in the world, because of high recurrence rate and acquired resistance to targeting drugs such as gefitinib. Here we uncover a critical MTHFD2 enzyme-mediated purine synthesis pathway in mitochondria in poor prognostic lung cancer. Expression of MTHFD2 was induced by epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulation. It was overexpressed in gefitinib-resistant cancer cells and high-grade tumor tissues. Knockdown of MTHFD2 significantly decreased not only in vitro and in vivo cell growth but also tumor sphere formation and tumor initiating activity, properties of cancer stem-like cells. Integrated analysis of metabolome and transcriptome of MTHFD2 knocked-down cells revealed significant accumulation of the nucleotide intermediates before MTHFD2-mediated one carbon transfer and marked deficiency of purine nucleotides required for cell growth. Thus we provide evidence that MTHFD2 pathway is critical for growth of both cancer cells and cancer stem-like cells as an Achilles heel to eradicate tumors in poor prognostic lung cancer.

Project description:Non-small cell lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Gefitinib, epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is the first-line treatment of NSCLC, however, many patients eventually become resistant and experience progressive disease. Therefore, development of efficient therapeutic agents to overcome resistance is urgent. We previously found that citreoviridin, one of toxic mycotoxins derived from fungal species, can suppress lung cancer cell growth by inhibiting the activity of ectopic ATP synthase, but has limited effect on normal cells. Citreoviridin suppresses mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase signaling by site-specific dephosphorylation of HSP90AB1 on Serine 255 in gefitinib non-resistant lung cancer CL1-0 cells and xenograft model. We are curious whether signaling pathways underlying citreoviridin-treated gefitinib-acquired resistant lung cancer cells are different. In this study, we showed that citreoviridin inhibited cell proliferation and anchorage-dependent growth of gefitinib-acquired resistance NCI-H1975 cells with EGFR T790M mutation. Furthermore, we explored the dynamic molecular response by temporal phosphoproteomic approach. We identified 1476 phosphopeptides corresponding to 738 phosphoproteins and quantified 1901 phosphorylation sites. There were 274 phosphosites corresponding to 174 phosphorylated proteins significantly differential expressed. Functional enrichment analysis demonstrated that citreoviridin treatment affected chromatin organization, cell cycle and apoptosis. Interestingly, we found that citreovirdin suppressed cell proliferation by site-specific phosphorylation of topoisomerase on serine 1106. Citreovirdin induced double strands breaks, and then leaded to DNA damage response. The DNA lesions triggered cells to cell cycle arrest at S phase for repairing or apoptosis for cell death. The results indicated that citreoviridin could potentially be a therapeutic agent against gefitinib-resistant NSCLC.
