The Anticancer Ruthenium Compound BOLD-100 Targets Glycolysis and Generates a Metabolic Vulnerability towards Glucose Deprivation
2022
Overview
Cellular energy metabolism is reprogrammed in cancer to fuel proliferation. In oncological therapy, treatment resistance remains an obstacle and is frequently linked to metabolic perturbations. Identifying metabolic changes as vulnerabilities opens up novel approaches for the prevention or targeting of acquired therapy resistance. Insights into metabolic alterations underlying ruthenium-based chemotherapy resistance remain widely elusive. In this study, colon cancer HCT116 and pancreatic cancer Capan-1 cells were selected for resistance against the clinically evaluated ruthenium complex sodium trans-[tetrachlorobis(1H-indazole)ruthenate(III)] (BOLD-100). Gene expression profiling identified transcriptional deregulation of carbohydrate metabolism as a response to BOLD-100 and in resistance against the drug. Mechanistically, acquired BOLD-100 resistance is linked to elevated glucose uptake and an increased lysosomal compartment, based on a defect in downstream autophagy execution. Congruently, metabolomics suggested stronger glycolytic activity, in agreement with the distinct hypersensitivity of BOLD-100-resistant cells to 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2-DG). In resistant cells, 2-DG induced stronger metabolic perturbations associated with ER stress induction and cytoplasmic lysosome deregulation. The combination with 2-DG enhanced BOLD-100 activity against HCT116 and Capan-1 cells and reverted acquired BOLD-100 resistance by synergistic cell death induction and autophagy disturbance. This newly identified enhanced glycolytic activity as a metabolic vulnerability in BOLD-100 resistance suggests the targeting of glycolysis as a promising strategy to support BOLD-100 anticancer activity.
