Study Title | ASCT2 is a major contributor to serine uptake in cancer cells |
Study Summary | The non-essential amino acid serine is a critical nutrient for cancer cells due to its diverse biosynthetic functions. While some tumors can synthesize serine de novo, others are auxotrophic and therefore reliant on serine uptake. Importantly, despite several transporters being known to be capable of transporting serine, the transporter(s) that mediate serine uptake in cancer cells are not known. Here, we characterize the amino acid transporter ASCT2 (SLC1A5) as a major contributor to serine uptake in cancer cells. ASCT2 is well-known as a glutamine transporter in cancer, and our work demonstrates that serine and glutamine compete for uptake through ASCT2. We further show that ASCT2-mediated serine uptake is essential for purine nucleotide biosynthesis and that ERĪ± promotes serine uptake by directly activating SLC1A5 transcription. Together, our work defines an additional important role for ASCT2 as a serine transporter in cancer and evaluates ASCT2 as a potential therapeutic target. |

Chromatography Summary: | All samples were analyzed by GC/MS using a HP-5MS Ultra Inert GC column (19091S-433UI, Agilent Technologies) installed in an Agilent 7890B gas chromatograph coupled to an Agilent 5779B mass spectrometer. Helium was used as the carrier gas. One microliter was injected (split inlet) at 280 degrees C. After injection, the GC oven was held at 60 degrees C for 1 minute before ramping to 320 degrees C at 10C/min and held for 9 minutes at the maximum temperature. |
