Abstract
Purpose
Glucose not only provides energy for tumor cells, but also provides various biomolecules that are essential for their survival, proliferation and invasion. Therefore, it is of great clinical significance to understand the mechanism of how tumor cells adapt to metabolic stress and maintain their survival. The aim of this research was to study the critical role of OGT and TRIM29 O-GlcNAc modification driven adaptability of PDAC cells to low glucose stress, which might have important medical implications for PDAC therapy.
Methods
Western blotting, mass spectrometry and WGA-immunoprecipitation were used to examined the levels of OGT and O-GlcNAc glycosylated proteins in BxPC3 and SW1990 cells in normal culture and under glucose deprivation conditions. Crystal violet assay, flow cytometry, RIP, RT-qPCR, protein stability assay, biotin pull down were used to investigate the mechanism of OGT and TRIM29-mediated adaptive response to glucose deficiency in PDAC cells.
Results
The current study found that under the condition of low glucose culture, the levels of OGT and O-GlcNAc glycosylation in PDAC cells were significantly higher than those in normal culture. Moreover, the high expression of OGT has a protective effect on PDAC cells under low glucose stress. This study confirmed that there was no significant change in mRNA level and protein degradation of OGT under low glucose stress, which was mainly reflected in the increase of protein synthesis. In addition, O-GlcNAc modification at T120 site plays a critical role in the metabolic adaptive responses mediated by TRIM29.
Conclusions
Taken together, our study indicated that O-GlcNAcylation of TRIM29 at T120 site and OGT translation forms a loop feedback to facilitate survival of PDAC under glucose deficiency.
