ABSTRACTStress-adaptive mechanisms enable tumor cells to overcome metabolic constraints in nutrient and oxygen poor tumors. Aspartate is an endogenous metabolic limitation under hypoxic conditions, but the nature of the adaptive mechanisms that contribute to aspartate availability and hypoxic tumor growth are poorly understood. Here, using a combination of metabolomics and CRISPR-based genetic screens, we identify GOT2-catalyzed mitochondrial aspartate synthesis as an essential metabolic dependency for the proliferation of pancreatic tumor cells under hypoxic culture conditions. In contrast, GOT2-catalyzed aspartate synthesis is dispensable for pancreatic tumor formation in vivo. The dependence of pancreatic tumor cells on aspartate synthesis is bypassed in part by a hypoxia-induced potentiation of extracellular protein scavenging via macropinocytosis. This effect is mutant KRas-dependent, and is mediated by hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF1A) and its canonical target carbonic anhydrase-9 (CA9) through the cooption of the bicarbonate-macropinocytosis signaling axis. Our findings reveal high plasticity of aspartate metabolism and define an adaptive regulatory role for macropinocytosis by which mutant KRas tumors can overcome nutrient deprivation under hypoxic conditions.

Background: Thymoquinone (TQ) has potential anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory and anticancer effects but its clinical use is limited by its low solubility, poor bioavailability and rapid clearance. Aim: To enhance systemic bioavailability and tumor-specific toxicity of TQ. Materials & methods: Cationic liposomal formulation of TQ (D1T) was prepared via ethanol injection method and their physicochemical properties, anticancer effects in orthotopic xenograft pancreatic tumor model and pharmacokinetic behavior of D1T relative to TQ were evaluated. Results: D1T showed prominent inhibition of pancreatic tumor progression, significantly greater in vivo absorption, approximately 1.5-fold higher plasma concentration, higher bioavailability, reduced volume of distribution and improved clearance relative to TQ. Conclusion: Encapsulation of TQ in cationic liposomal formulation enhanced its bioavailability and anticancer efficacy against xenograft pancreatic tumor.
