ABSTRACT: Metabolic reprogramming under therapeutic stress may represent a targetable vulnerability for cancer treatment. Elucidation of the metabolic alterations linked to chemotherapy in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) could uncover potential therapeutic strategies. Using proteomics and transcriptomic profiles, we identified wild-type IDH1 as a crucial metabolic enzyme upregulated in gemcitabine plus cisplatin chemotherapy (GP)-resistant NPC. IDH1 reprogrammed nucleotide metabolism in response to chemotherapy, linking DNA damage repair (DDR) to ferroptosis resistance via DHODH, thereby contributing to chemoresistance in NPC. Mechanistically, α-ketoglutarate (α-KG), a metabolite of IDH1, enhanced chromatin accessibility to promote DHODH transcription via α-KG-dependent dioxygenase ALKBH5-recruited HNRNPC. The DHODH inhibitor BAY2402234 markedly sensitized NPC cells to chemotherapy. Clinically, a prognostic model based on DDR and ferroptosis signatures effectively predicted disease relapse risk post-chemotherapy in NPC. This study links DDR to ferroptosis defense via the IDH1/α-KG/ALKBH5/DHODH axis, suggesting DHODH inhibition as a promising therapeutic strategy to overcome chemoresistance in tumors harboring wild-type IDH1.
