Oxoglutarate dehydrogenase-like inhibits the progression of hepatocellular carcinoma by inducing DNA damage through non-canonical function.

ABSTRACT: Oxoglutarate dehydrogenase-like (OGDHL) is considered to be the isoenzyme of oxyglutarate dehydrogenase (OGDH) in the OGDH complex, which degrades glucose and glutamate. OGDHL was reported to reprogram glutamine metabolism to suppress HCC progression in an enzyme-activity-dependent manner. However, the potential subcellular localization and non-canonical function of OGDHL is poorly understood. We investigated the expression of OGDHL and its effect on HCC progression. By employing a variety of molecular biology techniques, we revealed the underlying mechanism of OGDHL-induced DNA damage in HCC cells in vitro and in vivo. AAV loaded with OGDHL exerts therapeutic effect on mouse HCC and prolongs survival time. OGDHL induces DNA damage in HCC cells in vitro and in vivo. We also observed that OGDHL possesses nuclear localization in HCC cells and OGDHL-induced DNA damage was independent of its enzymatic activity. Mechanistically, it was demonstrated that OGDHL binds to CDK4 in the nucleus to inhibit the phosphorylation of CDK4 by CAK, which in turn attenuates E2F1 signaling. Inhibition of E2F1 signaling downregulates pyrimidine and purine synthesis, thereby inducing DNA damage through dNTP depletion. We clarified the nuclear localization of OGDHL and its non-canonical function to induce DNA damage, which demonstrated that OGDHL may serve as a select potential therapeutic target for HCC.

Project description:BackgroundThe functions of infiltrating CD8+ T cells are often impaired due to tumor cells causing nutrient deprivation in the tumor microenvironment. Thus, the mechanisms of CD8+ T cell dysfunction have become a hot research topic, and there is increased interest on how changes in metabolomics correlate with CD8+ T cell dysfunction.AimTo investigate whether and how glutamine metabolism affects the function of infiltrating CD8+ T cells in hepatocellular carcinoma.MethodsImmunohistochemical staining and immunofluorescence were performed on surgically resected liver tissues from patients. Differentially expressed genes in infiltrating CD8+ T cells in hepatocellular carcinoma were detected using RNA sequencing. Activated CD8+ T cells were co-cultured with Huh-7 cells for 3 d. The function and mitochondrial status of CD8+ T cells were analyzed by flow cytometry, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, and transmission electron microscopy. Next, CD8+ T cells were treated with the mitochondrial protective and damaging agents. Functional alterations in CD8+ T cells were detected by flow cytometry. Then, complete medium without glutamine was used to culture cells and their functional changes and mitochondrial status were detected.ResultsThere were a large number of infiltrating PD-1+CD8+ T cells in liver cancer tissues. Next, we co-cultured CD8+ T cells and Huh-7 cells to explore the regulatory effect of hepatoma cells on CD8+ T cells. Flow cytometry results revealed increased PD-1 expression and decreased secretion of perforin (PRF1) and granzyme B (GZMB) by CD8+ T cells in the co-culture group. Meanwhile, JC-1 staining was decreased and the levels of reactive oxygen species and apoptosis were increased in CD8+ T cells of the co-culture group; additionally, the mitochondria of these cells were swollen. When CD8+ T cells were treated with the mitochondrial protective and damaging agents, their function was restored and inhibited, respectively, through the mitochondrial damage and apoptotic pathways. Subsequently, complete medium without glutamine was used to culture cells. As expected, CD8+ T cells showed functional downregulation, mitochondrial damage, and apoptosis.ConclusionGlutamine deprivation impairs the function of infiltrating CD8+ T cells in hepatocellular carcinoma through the mitochondrial damage and apoptotic pathways.
