Abstract: Mitochondrial NADPH-dependent isocitrate dehydrogenase, IDH2, and cytosolic IDH1, catalyze reductive carboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate. Both idh2 and idh1 monoallelic mutations are harbored in grade 2/3 gliomas, secondary glioblastomas and acute myeloid leukemia. Mutant IDH1/IDH2 enzymes were reported to form an oncometabolite R-2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG), further strengthening malignancy. We quantified CO₂-dependent reductive carboxylation glutaminolysis (RCG) and CO₂-independent 2HG production in HTB-126 and MDA-MB-231 breast carcinoma cells by measuring ¹³C incorporation from 1-¹³C-glutamine into citrate, malate, and 2HG. For HTB-126 cells, ¹³C-citrate, ¹³C-malate, and ¹³C-2-hydroxyglutarate were enriched by 2-, 5-, and 15-fold at 5 mM glucose (2-, 2.5-, and 13-fold at 25 mM glucose), respectively, after 6 h. Such enrichment decreased by 6% with IDH1 silencing, but by 30-50% upon IDH2 silencing while cell respiration and ATP levels rose up to 150%. Unlike 2HG production RCG declined at decreasing CO₂. At hypoxia (5% O₂), IDH2-related and unrelated ¹³C-accumulation into citrate and malate increased 1.5-2.5-fold with unchanged IDH2 expression; whereas hypoxic 2HG formation did not. ¹³C-2HG originated by ∼50% from other than IDH2 or IDH1 reactions, substantiating remaining activity in IDH1&2-silenced cells. Relatively high basal ¹³C-2HG levels existed (5-fold higher vs. non-tumor HTB-125 cells) and ¹³C-2HG was formed despite the absence of any idh2 and idh1 mutations in HTB-126 cells. Since RCG is enhanced at hypoxia (frequent in solid tumors) and 2HG can be formed without idh1/2 mutations, we suggest 2HG as an analytic marker (in serum, urine, or biopsies) predicting malignancy of breast cancer in all patients. • Keywords: Reductive carboxylation, NADPH-dependent isocitratedehydrogenase IDH2, Hypoxia, Oncometabolite R-2-hydroxyglutarate, Breast carcinoma, HTB-126 cells, Breast adenocarcinoma, MDA-MB-231 cells • Bioblast editor: Gnaiger E • O2k-Network Lab: CZ Prague Jezek P
