Study TitleFH variant pathogenicity promotes purine salvage pathway dependence in kidney cancer
Study SummaryThe tricarboxylic citric acid cycle enzyme fumarate hydratase (FH) is a tumor suppressor. When lost in cells, its substrate fumarate accumulates to mM levels and drives oncogenic signaling and transformation. Germline alterations lead to an autosomal dominant condition known as hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC) where patients are predisposed to various benign tumors and an aggressive form of kidney cancer. FH alterations of unclear significance are frequently observed with germline testing; thus, there is an unmet need to classify FH variants by their cancer-associated risk, allowing for screening, early diagnosis and treatment. Here we quantify catalytic efficiency of 74 FH variants of uncertain significance. Over half were enzymatically inactive which is strong evidence of pathogenicity. We generated a panel of HLRCC cell lines expressing FH variants with a range of catalytic activities, then correlated fumarate levels with metabolic features. We found that fumarate accumulation blocks purine biosynthesis, rendering FH-deficient cells more sensitive to the purine salvage pathway inhibitor 6-mercaptopurine. Together, these findings suggest pathogenicity of many patientassociated FH variants and reveal nucleotide salvage as a targetable vulnerability in FHdeficient cancer cells.
