Cytidine triphosphate synthase 1-mediated metabolic reprogramming promotes proliferation and drug resistance in multiple myeloma.

ABSTRACT: Upregulation of metabolism-related gene cytidine triphosphate synthase 1 (CTPS1) is associated with poor prognosis in multiple myeloma (MM). However, its role in MM remains unclear. In this study, bioinformatics analysis revealed significant differences in CTPS1 expression levels among various plasma cell malignancies. The patients with high CTPS1 expression had poor overall survival, progression-free survival, and event-free survival. CTPS1 was significantly correlated with sex, albumin, β2 microglobulin, lactate dehydrogenase, and advanced disease. In vitro experiments demonstrated that CTPS1-overexpressing (CTPS1-OE) cells proliferated faster than CTPS1-short hairpin RNA (CTPS1-sh) cells. NRG-SGM3 mice showed significantly accelerated tumor growth in the CTPS1-OE group. CTPS1-OE
