The genetic basis for the Hereditary Leiomyomatosis and Renal Cell Cancer (HLRCC) syndrome is germline inactivating mutation in the gene for the Krebs/tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle enzyme, fumarate hydratase (FH), the enzyme that converts fumarate to malate. These individuals are predisposed to development of leiomyomas of the skin and uterus as well as highly aggressive kidney cancers. Inhibition of FH should result in significant decrease in oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) necessitating that glycolysis followed by fermentation of pyruvate to lactate will be required to provide adequate ATP as well as to regenerate NAD+. Moreover, FH deficiency is known to upregulate expression of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)1 α by enhancing the stability of HIF transcript. This leads to activation of various HIF regulated genes including vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), glucose transporter GLUT1, and increased expression of several glycolytic enzymes. Since lactate dehydrogenase-A (LDH-A), also a HIF1 α target, promotes fermentative glycolysis (conversion of pyruvate to lactate), a step essential for regenerating NAD+, we asked whether FH deficient cells would be exquisitely sensitive to LDH-A blockade. Here we report that HLRCC tumors indeed overexpress LDH-A; that LDH-A inhibition results in increased apoptosis in a cell with FH deficiency and that this effect is reactive oxygen species (ROS) mediated; and that LDH-A knockdown in the background of FH knockdown results in significant reduction in tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model.
