Profiling the Effect of Targeting Wild Isocitrate Dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) on the Cellular Metabolome of Leukemic Cells

ABSTRACT: Leukemia is one of the most common primary malignancies of the hematologic system in both children and adults and remains a largely incurable or relapsing disease. The elucidation of disease subtypes based on mutational profiling has not improved clinical outcomes. IDH1/2 are critical enzymes of the TCA cycle that produces α-ketoglutarate (αKG). However, their mutated version is well reported in various cancer types, including leukemia, which produces D-2 hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG), an oncometabolite. Recently, some studies have shown that wild-type IDH1 is highly expressed in non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), primary glioblastomas (GBM), and several hematological malignancies and is correlated with disease progression. This work shows that the treatment of wild-type IDH1 leukemia cells with a specific IDH1 inhibitor shifted leukemic cells toward glycolysis from the oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) phenotype. We also noticed a reduction in αKG in treated cells, possibly suggesting the inhibition of IDH1 enzymatic activity. Furthermore, we found that IDH1 inhibition reduced the metabolites related to one-carbon metabolism, which is essential for maintaining global methylation in leukemic cells. Finally, we observed that metabolic alteration in IDH1 inhibitor-treated leukemic cells promoted reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation and the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, leading to apoptosis in leukemic cells. We showed that targeting wild-type IDH1 leukemic cells promotes metabolic alterations that can be exploited for combination therapies for a better outcome.

Project description:PurposeGlioblastomas (GBM) are the most common malignant primary brain tumors in adults and have a dismal prognosis. Patients frequently suffer from local tumor recurrences, with limited therapeutic options. Re-irradiation represents a possible intervention, but given the recent 5th edition of the World Health Organization classification of central nervous system tumors, studies in isocitrate dehydrogenase wild type (IDH-wt) cohorts undergoing a second course of radiotherapy remain limited. Herein, we sought to describe our institutional experience and outcomes after GBM IDH-wt re-irradiation.Materials and methodsGBM patients with confirmed IDH-wt status undergoing re-irradiation were included in this single-center, retrospective analysis.ResultsA total of 88 patients were analyzed. The median clinical and radiographic follow-up periods were 4.6 months and 4.4 months, respectively. Most patients had a Karnofsky performance status of at least 80% (n = 57). The median biologically effective dose and 2 Gy equivalent dose (EQD2) for re-irradiations, assuming an α/β ratio of 10 Gy for GBM, were 51.4 and 42.8 Gy, respectively. In total, 71 deaths were recorded. The median overall survival (OS) was 8.0 months. Multivariable Cox regression of OS revealed a positive influence of gross total resection vs. biopsy or no resection (hazard ratio: 0.43, p = 0.02). The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 5.9 months. The multivariable Cox regression for PFS did not detect any significant factors. No clear evidence of radiation necrosis was recorded during the available follow-up. However, only a minority (n = 4) of patients underwent surgery after re-irradiation, none showing histopathological proof of radiation necrosis.ConclusionThe prognosis for recurrent IDH-wt GBM after re-irradiation is poor. Patients who are amenable and able to undergo re-resection may have a favorable OS. A second course of radiotherapy with a moderate cumulative EQD2 and small- to medium-sized planning target volumes appeared safe regarding the occurrence of radiation necrosis.

Project description:Glioblastoma multiformes (GBMs) are high-grade astrocytomas and the most common brain malignancies. Primary GBMs are often associated with disturbed RAS signaling, and expression of oncogenic HRAS results in a malignant phenotype in glioma cell lines. Secondary GBMs arise from lower-grade astrocytomas, have slower progression than primary tumors, and contain IDH1 mutations in over 70% of cases. Despite significant amount of accumulating genomic and transcriptomic data, the fundamental mechanistic differences of gliomagenesis in these two types of high-grade astrocytoma remain poorly understood. Only a few studies have attempted to investigate the proteome, phosphorylation signaling, and epigenetic regulation in astrocytoma. In the present study, we applied quantitative phosphoproteomics to identify the main signaling differences between oncogenic HRAS and mutant IDH1-driven glioma cells as models of primary and secondary GBM, respectively. Our analysis confirms the driving roles of the MAPK and PI3K/mTOR signaling pathways in HRAS driven cells and additionally uncovers dysregulation of other signaling pathways. Although a subset of the signaling changes mediated by HRAS could be reversed by a MEK inhibitor, dual inhibition of MEK and PI3K resulted in more complete reversal of the phosphorylation patterns produced by HRAS expression. In contrast, cells expressing mutant IDH1 did not show significant activation of MAPK or PI3K/mTOR pathways. Instead, global downregulation of protein expression was observed. Targeted proteomic analysis of histone modifications identified significant histone methylation, acetylation, and butyrylation changes in the mutant IDH1 expressing cells, consistent with a global transcriptional repressive state. Our findings offer novel mechanistic insight linking mutant IDH1 associated inhibition of histone demethylases with specific histone modification changes to produce global transcriptional repression in secondary glioblastoma. Our proteomic datasets are available for download and provide a comprehensive catalogue of alterations in protein abundance, phosphorylation, and histone modifications in oncogenic HRAS and IDH1 driven astrocytoma cells beyond the transcriptomic level.
