Article / Publication Details Abstract

Altered glucose metabolism is associated with chemoresistance in colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to illustrate the molecular mechanisms of glucose-mediated chemoresistance against irinotecan, a topoisomerase I inhibitor, focusing on the distinct roles of metabolites such as pyruvate and ATP in modulating cell death and proliferation. Four human CRC cell lines, tumorspheres, and mouse xenograft models were treated with various doses of irinotecan in the presence of high concentrations of glucose, pyruvate, or ATP-encapsulated liposomes. In this study, human CRC cell lines treated with irinotecan in high glucose displayed increased cell viability and larger xenograft tumor sizes in mouse models compared to those treated in normal glucose concentrations. Irinotecan induced apoptosis and necroptosis, both mitigated by high glucose. Liposomal ATP prevented irinotecan-induced apoptosis, while it did not affect necroptosis. In contrast, pyruvate attenuated the receptor-interacting protein kinase (RIP) 1/3-dependent necroptosis via free radical scavenging without modulating apoptotic levels. Regarding the cell cycle, liposomal ATP aggravated irinotecan-induced G0/G1 shift, whereas pyruvate diminished the G0/G1 shift, showing opposite effects on proliferation. Last, tumorsphere structural damage, an index of solid tumor responsiveness to chemotherapy, was determined. Liposomal ATP increased tumorsphere size while pyruvate prevented the deformation of spheroid mass. In conclusion, glucose metabolites confer tumor chemoresistance via multiple modes of action. Glycolytic pyruvate attenuated irinotecan-induced necroptosis and potentiated drug insensitivity by shifting cells from a proliferative to quiescent state. On the other hand, ATP decreased irinotecan-induced apoptosis and promoted active cell proliferation, contributing to tumor recurrence. Our findings challenged the traditional view of ATP as the main factor for irinotecan chemoresistance and provided novel insights of pyruvate acting as an antioxidant responsible for drug insensitivity, which may shed light to the development of new therapies against recalcitrant cancers.
