The demands of cancer cell proliferation alongside an inadequate angiogenic response lead to insufficient oxygen availability in the tumor microenvironment. Within the mitochondria, oxygen is the major electron acceptor for NADH, with the result that the reducing potential produced through tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle activity and mitochondrial respiration are functionally linked. As the oxidizing activity of the TCA cycle is required for efficient synthesis of anabolic precursors, tumoral hypoxia could lead to a cessation of proliferation without another means of correcting the redox imbalance. We show that in hypoxic conditions, mitochondrial pyrroline 5-carboxylate reductase 1 (PYCR1) activity is increased, oxidizing NADH with the synthesis of proline as a by-product. We further show that PYCR1 activity is required for the successful maintenance of hypoxic regions by permitting continued TCA cycle activity, and that its loss leads to significantly increased hypoxia in vivo and in 3D culture, resulting in widespread cell death. Proline synthesis through PYCR1 is increased in low-oxygen conditions PYCR1 activity in hypoxia supports TCA cycle function through NADH oxidation PYCR1 is required for maintenance of hypoxic tumor regions Westbrook et al. show that proline synthesis from glutamine through PYCR1 supports NADH oxidation when oxygen is limited. PYCR1 therefore represents an oxygen-independent means of regenerating NAD+ in hypoxia, supporting continued oxidative TCA cycle activity. Loss of PYCR1 in tumors results in increased hypoxia, reduced cell viability, and necrosis.
