Accelerated lipid catabolism and autophagy are cancer survival mechanisms under inhibited glutaminolysis

Abstract: Suppressing glutaminolysis does not always induce cancer cell death in glutamine dependent tumors because cells may switch to alternative energy sources. To reveal compensatory metabolic pathways, we investigated the metabolome-wide cellular response to inhibited glutaminolysis in cancer cells. Glutaminolysis inhibition with C.968 suppressed cell proliferation but was insufficient to induce cancer cell death. We found that lipid catabolism was activated as a compensation for glutaminolysis inhibition. Accelera… Show more

“…Consequently, it is feasible to suggest that β‐oxidation of lipids, confirmed by CPTII, FBPase, and LXRα/β expression and a reduction in the amount of free triglycerides at day 75, is the source of energy which supports gluconeogenesis and the glucose found in starving conditions. In addition, the AhR pathway activation prediction during starvation, and the results obtained treating the cells with troglitazone, a well‐known gluconeogenesis and β‐oxidation inhibitor , enabled confirmation of a direct involvement of β‐oxidation as alternative energetic source, also highlighted by recently published papers .…”
