抑癌基因p53及其信号通路在肿瘤预防中发挥着关键作用。作为 p53 的直接靶基因,谷氨酰胺酶 2 (GLS2) 在肿瘤发生中的作用尚不清楚。在这项研究中,我们发现 GLS2 表达在大多数人肝细胞癌 (HCC) 中显着降低。 HCC 细胞中 GLS2 表达的恢复会抑制细胞的贴壁依赖性生长,并减少 HCC 异种移植肿瘤的生长。有趣的是,我们发现 GLS2 负向调节 PI3K/AKT 信号传导,该信号传导在 HCC 中经常被激活。阻断 HCC 细胞中的 PI3K/AKT 信号传导很大程度上消除了 GLS2 对贴壁依赖性细胞生长和异种移植肿瘤生长的抑制作用。 GLS2 启动子在大多数 HCC 样本中高度甲基化。 GLS2启动子的CpG甲基化抑制GLS2转录,而减少GLS2启动子的甲基化则诱导GLS2表达。综上所述,我们的结果表明 GLS2 在 HCC 肿瘤抑制中发挥重要作用,PI3K/AKT 信号传导的负调控对 GLS2 的这一功能有很大贡献。此外,GLS2启动子的高甲基化是导致HCC中GLS2表达降低的重要机制。
The tumor suppressor p53 and its signaling pathway play a critical role in tumor prevention. As a direct p53 target gene, the role of glutaminase 2 (GLS2) in tumorigenesis is unclear. In this study, we found that GLS2 expression is significantly decreased in majority of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Restoration of GLS2 expression in HCC cells inhibits the anchorage-independent growth of cells and reduces the growth of HCC xenograft tumors. Interestingly, we found that GLS2 negatively regulates the PI3K/AKT signaling, which is frequently activated in HCC. Blocking the PI3K/AKT signaling in HCC cells largely abolishes the inhibitory effect of GLS2 on the anchorage-independent cell growth and xenograft tumor growth. The GLS2 promoter is hypermethylated in majority of HCC samples. CpG methylation of GLS2 promoter inhibits GLS2 transcription, whereas reducing the methylation of GLS2 promoter induces GLS2 expression. Taken together, our results demonstrate that GLS2 plays an important role in tumor suppression in HCC, and the negative regulation of PI3K/AKT signaling contributes greatly to this function of GLS2. Furthermore, hypermethylation of GLS2 promoter is an important mechanism contributing to the decreased GLS2 expression in HCC.
