Abstract

Individuals with hemizygous germline fumarate hydratase (FH) mutations are predisposed to renal cancer. These tumors predominantly exhibit functional inactivation of the remaining wild-type allele, implicating FH inactivation as a tumor-promoting event. Hypoxia-inducible factors are expressed in many cancers and are increased in clear cell renal carcinomas. Under normoxia, the HIFs are labile due to VHL-dependent proteasomal degradation, but stabilization occurs under hypoxia due to inactivation of HIF prolyl hydroxylase (HPH), which prevents HIF hydroxylation and VHL recognition. We demonstrate that FH inhibition, together with elevated intracellular fumarate, coincides with HIF upregulation. Further, we show that fumarate acts as a competitive inhibitor of HPH. These data delineate a novel fumarate-dependent pathway for regulating HPH activity and HIF protein levels.

  • The HIF hydroxylases have been reported to be inhibited by citrate, isocitrate, succinate, fumarate, malate, oxaloacetate, and pyruvate.

    “In addition to requiring 2-oxoglutarate as a cosubstrate, the HIF hydroxylases have been reported to be inhibited by citrate, isocitrate, succinate, fumarate, malate, oxaloacetate, and pyruvate (Dalgard et al., 2004; Hewitson et al., 2007; Isaacs et al., 2005; Koivunen et al., 2007a; Selak et al., 2005).”

  • The clearest evidence that metabolites modulate HIF signaling comes from cells that are genetically defective in fumarate hydratase or succinate dehydrogenase.

    “To date, the clearest evidence that metabolites modulate HIF signaling comes from cells that are genetically defective in fumarate hydratase (FH) (Isaacs et al., 2005) or succinate hydrogenase (SDH; subunits b, c, and d) (MacKenzie et al., 2007; Pollard et al., 2005; Selak et al., 2005).”

  • Fumarate contributes to inactivation of PHD, stabilizing HIF proteins to promote cell survival.

    “Similar to succinate, fumarate contributes to the inactivation of PHD, stabilizing HIF proteins to promote cell survival133”

  • HIF1α accumulates in SDH and FH mutant tumors, presumably due to inhibition of EglN prolyl hydroxylases.

    “For example, the HIF1α transcription factor accumulates in SDH and FH mutant tumors, presumably due to inhibition of the EglN prolyl hydroxylases (Dahia et al., 2005; Isaacs et al., 2005; Pollard et al., 2005, 2007; Selak et al., 2005).”

    From Influence of Metabolism on Epigenetics and Disease (2013) · cites this paper as Isaacs et al., 2005

  • Loss of fumarate hydratase activity leads to accumulation of fumarate, which can inhibit PHD competitively.

    “A similar model of substrate-mediated PHD inhibition has been described (23, 37, 42) in which the loss of fumarate hydratase activity leads to the accumulation of fumarate, which also can inhibit PHD competitively.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
