Study TitleEffect of Hira loss in the metabolic landscape of Fh1-deficient cells Part 2
Study SummaryTumour initiation and progression requires the metabolic rewiring of cancer cells. Fumarate hydratase (FH), a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyses the reversible hydration of fumarate to malate in the TCA cycle, has been identified as a bona fide tumour suppressor . FH loss predisposes to Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Carcinoma (HLRCC), a cancer syndrome characterized by the presence of benign tumours of the skin and uterus, and a highly aggressive form of renal cancer. Its loss leads to aberrant accumulation of fumarate, an oncometabolite that drives malignant transformation . Even though the link between FH loss, fumarate accumulation and HLRCC is well-known, the associated tumorigenic mechanism is it is still not fully understood. Indeed, although HLRCC tumours metastasize even when small, Fh1-deficient mice develop premalignant cysts in the kidneys, rather than overt carcinomas. Interestingly, these cysts are positive for the key tumour suppressor p21. Since p21 expression is a central trigger of cellular senescence, it is postulated that this process could be an obstacle for tumorigenesis in Fh1-deficient cells. Consistent with this hypothesis, HLRCC patients harbour the epigenetic suppression of p16, another key player of senescence. Here, we have confirmed that additional oncogenic events independent from a senescence bypass are required to allow full-blown transformation in FH deficient cells. Moreover, a genome wide CRISPR/Cas9 screen identified HIRA as a target that, when ablated, increases proliferation and invasion in Fh1-deficient cells. Moreover, Fh1 and Hira-deficient cells lead to the development of tumours and invasive features in the kidney in vivo. Strikingly, Hira depletion in Fh1 deficient cells controls the activation of a MYC and E2F-dependent transcriptional and metabolic program, which is known to play different oncogenic roles during tumour initiation and progression. Of note, the activation of these programs is independent of H3.3 deposition into the chromatin, known to be controlled by HIRA. Overall, we have identified a novel oncogenic event occurring in FH deficient tumours, which will be instrumental for understanding mechanisms of tumorigenesis in HLRCC and the development of targeted treatments. Part 2 of this study emoployed a second FH-null clone to complement Part 1 of the study.

Sample Preparation:

Sampleprep ID:SP002310
Sampleprep Summary:Cells were seeded in 6-well plates and collected the following day at 70% confluency. Cells were washed at room temperature with PBS twice and then kept on cold bath with dry ice and methanol. Metabolite extraction solution (50% methanol, 30% acetonitrile, 20% ultrapure water, 5 µM final concentration valine-d8) was added to each well following the proportion of 0.5 ml of extraction solution per million cells. The extracts were scraped and mixed at 4°C for 15 min. After final centrifugation at max speed for 15 min at 4°C, the supernatants were transferred into LC-MS vials.
