Inhibition of α-KG-dependent histone and DNA demethylases by fumarate and succinate that are accumulated in mutations of FH and SDH tumor suppressors
Open accessAbstract
Two Krebs cycle genes, fumarate hydratase ( FH ) and succinate dehydrogenase ( SDH ), are mutated in a subset of human cancers, leading to accumulation of their substrates, fumarate and succinate, respectively. Here we demonstrate that fumarate and succinate are competitive inhibitors of multiple α-ketoglutarate (α-KG)-dependent dioxygenases, including histone demethylases, prolyl hydroxylases, collagen prolyl-4-hydroxylases, and the TET (ten-eleven translocation) family of 5-methlycytosine (5mC) hydroxylases. Knockdown of FH and SDH results in elevated intracellular levels of fumarate and succinate, respectively, which act as competitors of α-KG to broadly inhibit the activity of α-KG-dependent dioxygenases. In addition, ectopic expression of tumor-derived FH and SDH mutants inhibits histone demethylation and hydroxylation of 5mC. Our study suggests that tumor-derived FH and SDH mutations accumulate fumarate and succinate, leading to enzymatic inhibition of multiple α-KG-dependent dioxygenases and consequent alterations of genome-wide histone and DNA methylation. These epigenetic alterations associated with mutations of FH and SDH likely contribute to tumorigenesis.

Written from the paper’s full text.
TL;DR
Fumarate and succinate, which accumulate when FH or SDH is lost, act as α-KG competitors and suppress multiple α-KG-dependent dioxygenases, including histone demethylases and TET DNA hydroxylases. This connects FH/SDH mutations to broad histone and DNA methylation changes that may contribute to tumorigenesis.
Key findings
- In vitro, fumarate and succinate inhibited CeKDM7A by more than 80% at 1–10 mM; for HsKDM4A, fumarate caused 22%, 41%, and 73% inhibition and succinate caused 43%, 68%, and 85% inhibition at 1, 3, and 10 mM, with succinate more potent (IC50 0.8 mM) than fumarate (IC50 1.5 mM).
- In cultured cells, cell-permeable fumarate or succinate increased H3K4 monomethylation about fourfold, H3K27 and H3K79 dimethylation about fourfold and threefold, and H3K4 trimethylation about twofold; FH or SDHA/B knockdown increased histone methylation three- to fivefold, raised HIF1α about fivefold, and lowered endostatin about sevenfold, effects diminished by cell-permeable α-KG.
- TET-catalyzed 5hmC production was reduced in FH, SDHA, or SDHB knockdown cells by 71%, 73%, and 82% for TET1 and by 80%, 83%, and 69% for TET2; in mouse liver, Fh or Sdha knockdown reduced 5hmC by 72% and 63% and increased Hoxa gene expression more than tenfold.
- Tumor-derived mutants were impaired: FH R190H and H137R retained 17% and 10% of wild-type activity; SDHA G555E and R554W retained 51% and 46%; SDHB R46Q and A43P retained 48% and 61%; wild-type but not mutant re-expression restored demethylation and 5hmC and reduced fumarate/succinate.
Methods
- In vitro demethylase assays used synthetic H3K9me1 and H3K36me3 peptides with MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry; FH and SDH enzyme activities were measured by absorbance-based assays.
- Cell work used HeLa and HEK293T cells with siRNA or stable knockdown of FH, SDHA, or SDHB, treatment with cell-permeable fumarate/succinate or octyl-α-KG, and TET1/TET2 catalytic-domain expression; readouts included GC-MS, Western blot, immunofluorescence, dot blot, and quantitative RT-PCR.
- In vivo work used hydrodynamic tail-vein siRNA delivery to knock down mouse liver Fh or Sdha (n = 3 per group); statistics used two-tailed unpaired Student’s t-test, triplicate experiments, and P < 0.05.
Limitations
- The paper notes an alternative product-inhibition model, observes that the succinate/α-KG ratio did not change in cells expressing tumor-derived FH mutants, and states that FH/SDH tumorigenesis may involve mechanisms independent of α-KG-dependent dioxygenases; it also says fumarate-mediated KEAP1 succination and NRF2 signaling require further exploration.
- The corrigendum reports that Figure 2B mislabeled SDHA and SDHB as FH and duplicated an actin control, though the authors state this does not affect the conclusions.
- Evident from the text: TET inhibition is inferred mainly from 5hmC readouts rather than direct TET enzyme kinetics, and the study relies on knockdown/overexpression and cell-permeable metabolite esters rather than direct human tumor metabolite-epigenome correlations.

“These enzymes require Fe(II) as a cofactor metal and a-KG as a cosubstrate to catalyze the reactions in which one oxygen atom from molecular oxygen (O 2 ) is attached to a hydroxyl group in the substrate (hydroxylation) while the other is taken up by a-KG, leading to the decarboxylation of a-KG and subsequent release of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and succinate.”

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.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
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.
