Proteomics analysis of non-small cell lung cancer cell lines lacking ATGL (ATGL-KO) or MGL (MGL-KO) or expressing both (Control, NTC)
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Adipose Triglyceride Lipase (ATGL) and Monoglyceride Lipase (MGL) are two enzymes that contribute to intracellular neutral lipolysis by breaking down triglycerides stored within lipid droplets. Recently, lipid droplet accumulation has been described as a novel hallmark of cancer. While lipid metabolism has been investigated in cancer in recent decades, the role of lipid hydrolysis and its enzymes have not been in the focus of cancer research. We and others have found that lipid hydrolysis enzymes might play an important role in the development and progression of lung cancer. To this end, we chose four different non-small cell lung cancer cell lines and employed CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing to knock out either ATGL (ATGL-KO) or MGL (MGL-KO), and a non-targeting control (NTC) was employed to generate a control cell line within each parental cell type. We then performed label free quantitative proteomics to identify differences between the generated cell lines and confirmed ATGL-KO in ATGL-KO cell lines as well as MGL-KO in MGL-KO cell lines. Furthermore, dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH), an enzyme that is important in some cancer, was upregulated in some, but not all, of the NSCLC cancer cell lines lacking either one of the two lipases.
