Abstract
Background: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a hematopoietic malignancy. Chidamide has shown anti-cancer effect in different malignancies. The function of Chidamide in glycolysis in AML cells remains unclear.
Methods: AML cells were treated with 1000 nM Chidamide for 48 h. The levels of long non-coding RNA-GNAS-AS1, miR-34a-5p, glycolysis-related proteins, and Ras homolog gene family (RhoA)/Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) signaling-related proteins were detected by qRT-PCR or western blot. Cell viability and apoptosis were measured by CCK-8 and flow cytometry. Glycolysis levels were measured by assay kits. GNAS-AS1 N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification level was detected by methylated RNA immunoprecipitation sequencing. The combined targets of miR-34a-5p were validated using a dual-luciferase reporter assay. BALB/C nude mice were selected for subcutaneous tumor validation. Chidamide at a dosage of 25 mg/kg was used in the animal study.
Results: GNAS-AS1 promoted glycolysis in AML cells by upregulating the expression of glycolysis-related proteins and increasing glucose consumption, lactate production, ATP generation, and the extracellular acidification rate. Chidamide treatment suppressed WT1-associated protein (WTAP)-mediated RNA m6A modification of GNAS-AS1. Chidamide downregulated GNAS-AS1 to inhibit glycolysis in AML cells. GNAS-AS1 targeted miR-34a-5p to promote insulin-like growth factor 2 mRNA-binding protein (IGF2BP2) expression. IGF2BP2 inhibition reversed the promoting effect of miR-34a-5p knockdown on glycolysis and RhoA/ROCK pathway in Chidamide-treated cells. GNAS-AS1 overexpression abolished the inhibitory effect of Chidamide on AML tumorigenesis in vivo by modulating the RhoA/ROCK pathway.
Conclusion: Chidamide inhibited glycolysis in AML by repressing WTAP-mediated GNAS-AS1 m6A modification and then regulating the miR-34a-5p/IGF2BP2 axis.
