SIRT5 functions as a tumor suppressor in renal cell carcinoma by reversing the Warburg effect
JOURNAL OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE(2021)
摘要
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the biological functions and underlying mechanisms of SIRT5 in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Methods SIRT5 expression data in The Cancer Genome Atlas Kidney Clear Cell Carcinoma (TCGA-KIRC) were selected, and the correlations between SIRT5 expression and various clinicopathological parameters were analysed. SIRT5 expression in ccRCC tissues was examined using immunohistochemistry. Stable cell lines with SIRT5 knockdown were established. In vitro and in vivo experiments were conducted to investigate the functional roles of SIRT5 in the cellular biology of ccRCC, including cell viability assays, wound healing assays, soft agar colony formation assays, Transwell invasion assays, qRT–PCR, and Western blotting. In addition, microarrays, rescue experiments and Western blotting were used to investigate the molecular mechanisms underlying SIRT5 functions. Results SIRT5 expression was downregulated in ccRCC compared with normal tissues, which correlated with a poor prognosis of ccRCC. SIRT5 knockdown significantly increased cell proliferation, migration and invasion in vitro. In vivo experiments revealed that SIRT5 knockdown promoted ccRCC tumorigenesis and metastasis. Mechanistically, SIRT5 deglycosylated PDHA1 at K351 and increased PDC activity, thereby altering the metabolic crosstalk with the TCA cycle and inhibiting the Warburg effect. SIRT5 overexpression was related to low succinylation of PDHA1. Conclusions Downregulated SIRT5 expression in ccRCC accelerated the Warburg effect through PDHA1 hypersuccinylation and induced tumorigenesis and progression, indicating that SIRT5 may become a potential target for ccRCC therapy.
