Mutation at the R132 residue of IDH1, frequently found in gliomas and acute myelogenous leukemia, creates a neo-enzyme that produces 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG) from α-ketoglutarate (α-KG). We sought to therapeutically exploit this neo-reaction in mutant IDH1 cells which requires α-KG derived from glutamine. Glutamine is converted to glutamate by glutaminase (GLS) and further metabolized to α-KG. Therefore, we inhibited GLS with siRNA or the small molecule inhibitor BPTES (bis-2-(5-phenylacetamido-1,2,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)ethyl sulfide) and found slowed growth of glioblastoma cells expressing mutant IDH1 compared to those expressing wild-type IDH1. Growth suppression of mutant IDH1 cells by BPTES was rescued by adding exogenous α-KG. BPTES inhibited GLS activity, lowered glutamate and α-KG levels, and increased glycolytic intermediates while leaving total 2-HG levels unaffected. The ability to selectively slow growth in cells with IDH1 mutations by inhibiting glutaminase suggests a unique re-programming of intermediary metabolism and a potential therapeutic strategy.
