SIRT2 activates G6PD to enhance NADPH production and promote leukaemia cell proliferation

Abstract: Like most other types of cancer cells, leukaemia cells undergo metabolic reprogramming to support rapid proliferation through enhancing biosynthetic processes. Pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) plays a pivotal role in meeting the anabolic demands for cancer cells. However, the molecular mechanism by which PPP contributes to leukaemia remains elusive. Here, we report that leukaemia cell proliferation is dependent on the oxidative branch of PPP, in particular the first and rate-limiting enzyme glucose-6-phosphate … Show more

“…Thus SIRT2 may provide an additional link between K-Ras4a signaling and cellular metabolism. Given that Ras proteins play critical roles in many human cancers, SIRT2, as a Ras regulator, may be an important therapeutic target for cancer, which is consistent with several recent reports 50,53, 54,57,58,8587 . The physiological and pathophysiological roles of SIRT2 thus merit further investigation.…”

“…One caveat of the result, however, was that Sirt2 KD still decreased the colony formation induced by K-Ras4a-G12V-3KR or H-Ras-G12V, whose lysine fatty acylation was not regulated by SIRT2. This is not unexpected because SIRT2 is known to exert tumor-promoting functions by deacetylating various targets 5058 . Thus, the effect of Sirt2 KD on K-Ras4a-G12V-3KR- and H-Ras-induced transformation might be attributed to other substrates for SIRT2.…”

“…The up-regulation of G6PD activity in SIRT6 overexpressing cells may be related to a direct G6PD protein modification by SIRT6 through one of its enzymes: deacetylase, deacylase, or ADP-ribosyltransferase. Alternatively, the increased G6PD activity may be caused by augmented SIRT2 activity in cells with increased NAD + levels, because SIRT2 has been reported to activate G6PD in acute myeloid leukemia cells (50). SIRT2 inhibition suppressed G6PD activity, reducing proliferation of leukemia cells, indicating that SIRT2 may represent a promising target for therapeutic applications in leukemia.…”

“…4B). Second, HCT116 and SW480 cells were treated with the SIRT2-specific inhibitor AGK2, and endogenous E-cadherin acetylation was measured (41). Inhibition of SIRT2 by AGK2 markedly enhanced E-cadherin acetylation.…”
