چکیده

Cancer was hypothesized to be driven by cancer stem cells (CSCs), but the metabolic determinants of CSC-like phenotype still remain elusive. Here, we present that hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP) at least in part rescues cancer cell fate with inactivation of glycolysis. Firstly, metabolomic analysis profiled cellular metabolome in CSCs of hepatocellular carcinoma using CD133 cell-surface marker. The metabolic signatures of CD133-positive subpopulation compared to CD133-negative cells highlighted HBP as one of the distinct metabolic pathways, prompting us to uncover the role of HBP in maintenance of CSC-like phenotype. To address this, CSC-like phenotypes and cell survival were investigated in cancer cells under low glucose conditions. As a result, HBP inhibitor azaserine reduced CD133-positive subpopulation and CD133 expression under high glucose condition. Furthermore, treatment of N-Acetylglucosamine in part restores CD133-positive subpopulation when either 2.5 mM glucose in culture media or glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose in HCC cell lines was applied, enhancing CD133 expression as well as promoting cancer cell survival. Together, HBP might be a key metabolic determinant in the functions of hepatic CSC marker CD133.

Background: The cancer stem cells (CSCs) are involved in invasion and metastasis of melanoma, the most lethal and aggressive form of skin cancer. In the present study, the expression of putative stem cell markers CD133 and ALDH1 were evaluated in melanoma cell lines and then the cells sorted based on the expression of these markers. Methods: In the present study expression of CD133 and A...

Survival of Cancer Stem Cells under Hypoxia and Serum Depletion via Decrease in PP2A Activity and Activation of p38-MAPKAPK2-Hsp27

Hypoxia and serum depletion are common features of solid tumors that occur upon antiangiogenesis, irradiation and chemotherapy across a wide variety of malignancies. Here we show that tumor cells expressing CD133, a marker for colorectal cancer initiating or stem cells, are enriched and survive under hypoxia and serum depletion conditions, whereas CD133- cells undergo apoptosis. CD133+ tumor ce...

Glucose transporter-1 expression in CD133+ laryngeal carcinoma Hep-2 cells.

CD133 is a useful putative marker of cancer stem cells (CSCs) in human laryngeal tumors. Numerous studies have demonstrated that CD133+ CSCs possess higher clonogenicity, invasiveness and tumorigenesis compared with CD133- cells. Recently, interest in the Warburg effect in the microenvironment of CSCs has escalated. The Warburg effect dictates that cancer cells rely on glycolysis rather than ox...

Liver X receptors connect nuclear O-GlcNAc signaling to hepatic glucose utilization and lipogenesis

Insulin is a central regulator of glycolysis and de novo lipogenesis in the liver. However, hepatic glucose metabolism has been shown to activate the transcription of glycolytic and lipogenic enzymes independently of insulin. The nuclear liver X receptors LXR and LXR play a major role in glucose and lipid metabolism, regulating transcription of glycolytic and lipogenic enzymes in liver, which...
