Abstract

The oncoprotein c-Myc plays an important role in regulating glycolysis under normoxia; yet, in cancer cells, HIF1α, which is essential for driving glycolysis under hypoxia, is often up-regulated even in the presence of oxygen. The relationship between these two major regulators of the Warburg effect remains to be fully defined. Here we demonstrate that regulation of a long noncoding RNA (lncRNA), named IDH1-AS1, enables c-Myc to collaborate with HIF1α in activating the Warburg effect under normoxia. c-Myc transcriptionally repressed IDH1-AS1, which, upon expression, promoted homodimerization of IDH1 and thus enhanced its enzymatic activity. This resulted in increased α-KG and decreased ROS production and subsequent HIF1α down-regulation, leading to attenuation of glycolysis. Hence, c-Myc repression of IDH1-AS1 promotes activation of the Warburg effect by HIF1α. As such, IDH1-AS1 overexpression inhibited cell proliferation, whereas silencing of IDH1-AS1 promoted cell proliferation and cancer xenograft growth. Restoring IDH1-AS1 expression may therefore represent a potential metabolic approach for cancer treatment.

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.
