PG - 1136-1146 LID - 10.1002/mc.23551 [doi] AB - Kirsten rat sarcoma virus (KRAS) oncogene, found in 20%-25% of lung cancer patients, potentially regulates metabolic reprogramming and redox status during tumorigenesis. Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors have been investigated for treating KRAS-mutant lung cancer. In the current study, we investigate the effect of HDAC inhibitor (HDACi) belinostat at clinically relevant concentration on nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and mitochondrial metabolism for the treatment of KRAS-mutant human lung cancer. LC-MS metabolomic study of belinostat on mitochondrial metabolism was performed in G12C KRAS-mutant H358 non-small cell lung cancer cells. Furthermore, l-methionine (methyl-(13) C) isotope tracer was used to explore the effect of belinostat on one-carbon metabolism. Bioinformatic analyses of metabolomic data were performed to identify the pattern of significantly regulated metabolites. To study the effect of belinostat on redox signaling ARE-NRF2 pathway, luciferase reporter activity assay was done in stably transfected HepG2-C8 cells (containing pARE-TI-luciferase construct), followed by qPCR analysis of NRF2 and its target gene in H358 cells, which was further confirmed in G12S KRAS-mutant A549 cells. Metabolomic study reveals significantly altered metabolites related to redox homeostasis, including tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle metabolites (citrate, aconitate, fumarate, malate, and alpha-ketoglutarate); urea cycle metabolites (Arginine, ornithine, argino-succinate, aspartate, and fumarate); and antioxidative glutathione metabolism pathway (GSH/GSSG and NAD/NADH ratio) after belinostat treatment. (13) C stable isotope labeling data indicates potential role of belinostat in creatine biosynthesis via methylation of guanidinoacetate. Moreover, belinostat downregulated the expression of NRF2 and its target gene NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1), indicating anticancer effect of belinostat is mediated, potentially via Nrf2-regulated glutathione pathway. Another HDACi panobinostat also showed potential anticancer effect in both H358 and A549 cells via Nrf2 pathway. In summary, belinostat is effective in killing KRAS-mutant human lung cancer cells by regulating mitochondrial metabolism which could be used as biomarkers for preclinical and clinical studies.
