Non-metabolic PHGDH facilitates cMyc to urge advanced liver cancer

ABSTRACT: Metabolic dysregulation is an important feature of malignant tumors. Serine synthesis pathway (SSP) reshapes tumor cells to enhance their growth and survival capabilities, especially under serine starvation. However, whether and how SSP is involved in the progression of liver cancer has not been clearly stated. We applied a combination of quantitative proteomics and transcriptomics and discovered the increased expression of PHGDH and PSAT1 in mice liver cancer induced by SB. PHGDH is the first rating-limited enzyme of SSP and the conditional knockout of PHGDH in liver impaired the advanced liver cancer formation. However, the specific inhibition of enzymatic activity of PHGDH in liver has no obvious suppressive effect on advanced liver cancer. Further, we explored a non-metabolic function of PHGDH, which used its ACT domain to bind and regulate cMyc transcriptional activity, then selectively activated genes expression of Lcn2, Got1, Fabp5 and Psat1, indicating PHGDH drives/links multiple metabolic pathways and augmented its function through its non-metabolic role. In addition, the mutant p53 would release the suppression of PHGDH in mice liver cancer model and clinical liver cancer samples. Hence, the mutant p53/PHGDH/cMyc axis could be a potential target to cure advanced liver cancer.

Herein, we observed that nuclear localization of phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH) is associated with poor prognosis in liver cancer, and Phgdh is required for liver cancer progression in a mouse model. Unexpectedly, impairment of Phgdh enzyme activity exerts a slight effect in a liver cancer model. In liver cancer cells, the aspartate kinase-chorismate mutase-tyrA prephenate dehydrogenase (ACT) domain of PHGDH binds nuclear cMyc to form a transactivation axis, PHGDH/p300/cMyc/AF9, which dr ...[more]

Project description:Since bone metastatic breast cancer is an incurable disease, causing significant morbidity and mortality, understanding of the underlying molecular mechanisms would be highly valuable. Here, we describe in vitro and in vivo evidence for the importance of serine biosynthesis in the metastasis of breast cancer to bone. We first characterized the bone metastatic propensity of the MDA-MB-231(SA) cell line variant as compared to the parental MDA-MB-231 cells by radiographic and histological observations in the inoculated mice. Genome-wide gene expression profiling of this isogenic cell line pair revealed that all the three genes involved in the L-serine biosynthesis pathway, phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase (PHGDH), phosphoserine aminotransferase 1 (PSAT1), and phosphoserine phosphatase (PSPH) were upregulated in the highly metastatic variant. This pathway is the primary endogenous source for L-serine in mammalian tissues. Consistently, we observed that the proliferation of MDA-MB-231(SA) cells in serine-free conditions was dependent on PSAT1 expression. In addition, we observed that L-serine is essential for the formation of bone resorbing human osteoclasts and may thus contribute to the vicious cycle of osteolytic bone metastasis. High expression of PHGDH and PSAT1 in primary breast cancer was significantly associated with decreased relapse-free and overall survival of patients and malignant phenotypic features of breast cancer. In conclusion, high expression of serine biosynthesis genes in metastatic breast cancer cells and the stimulating effect of L-serine on osteoclastogenesis and cancer cell proliferation indicate a functionally critical role for serine biosynthesis in bone metastatic breast cancer and thereby an opportunity for targeted therapeutic interventions. Parental MDA-MB-231 cells and MDA-MB-231(SA) cells were cultured in cell culture flasks. RNA was isolated in order to compare the gene expression profiles of these cell variants. Total of two samples. No replicates.
