Study TitleComprehensive Metabolic Profiling of MYC-Amplified Medulloblastoma Tumors Reveals Key Dependencies on Amino Acid, Tricarboxylic Acid and Hexosamine Pathways
Study SummaryReprogramming of cellular metabolism is a hallmark of cancer. Altering metabolism allows cancer cells to overcome unfavorable microenvironment conditions and to increase and invade. Medulloblastoma is the most common malignant brain tumor in children. Genomic amplification of MYC defines a subset of poor-prognosis medulloblastoma. We performed comprehensive metabolic studies of human MYC-amplified medulloblastoma by comparing the metabolic profiles of tumor cells in three different conditions—in vitro, in flank xenografts, and orthotopic xenografts in the cerebellum. Principal component analysis showed that the metabolic profiles of brain and flank high-MYC medulloblastoma tumors clustered closely together and separated away from the normal brain and in vitro MYC-amplified cells. Compared to typical brains, MYC-amplified medulloblastoma orthotopic xenograft tumors showed upregulation of the TCA cycle and the synthesis of nucleotides, hexosamines, amino acids, and glutathione. There was significantly higher glucose uptake and usage in orthotopic xenograft tumors compared to flank xenograft tumors and cells in culture. In orthotopic tumors, glucose was the primary carbon source for the de novo synthesis of glutamate, glutamine, and glutathione through the TCA cycle. In vivo, the glutaminase II pathway was the main pathway utilizing glutamine. Glutathione was the most abundant upregulated metabolite in orthotopic tumors compared to normal brains. Glutamine-derived glutathione was synthesized through the glutamine transaminase K (GTK) enzyme in vivo. In conclusion, high MYC medulloblastoma cells have different metabolic profiles in vitro compared to in vivo; critical vulnerabilities may be missed by not performing in vivo metabolic analyses.

Instrument Name:Agilent 1290
Column Name:Waters ACQUITY UPLC BEH Amide (100 x 2.1mm,1.7um)
Column Temperature:45
Flow Gradient:0.3 mL/minute. Mobile phases consisted of A (water + 0.1% formic acid) and B (acetonitrile + 0.1% formic acid). The column was equilibrated at 2.5/97.5 (A/B) and maintained for 1 min post injection. Mobile-phase A increased in a linear gradient from 2.5% to 65% from 1 to 9 min post injection then stepped to 97.5% A from 9 to 11 min to wash the column.
Flow Rate:0.3 mL/minute
Solvent A:100% water; 0.1% formic acid
Solvent B:100% acetonitrile; 0.1% formic acid
