Metabolic reprogramming by adenosine antagonism and implications in non-small cell lung cancer therapy
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a heterogeneous disease with genetic and environmental parameters that influence cell metabolism.

description | Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a heterogeneous disease with genetic and environmental parameters that influence cell metabolism. Because of the complex interplay of environmental factors within the tumor microenvironment (TME) and the profound impact of these factors on the metabolic activities of tumor and immune cells, there is an emerging interest to advance the understanding of these diverse metabolic phenotypes in the TME. High levels of adenosine are characteristic of the TME, and adenosine can have a significant impact on both tumor cell growth and the immune response. Consistent with this, we showed in NSCLC data from TCGA that high expression of the A2BR leads to worse outcome and that expression of A2BR may be different for different mutation backgrounds. We then investigated the metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells and immune cells (T and dendritic cells) by adenosine. We used A2AR and A2BR antagonism or agonism as well as receptor knockout animals to explore whether these treatments altered specific immune compartments or conferred specific therapeutic vulnerabilities. Using the seahorse assay, we found that an A2BR antagonist modulates oxidative stress homeostasis in NSCLC cell lines. In addition, we found distinct metabolic roles of A2AR and A2BR receptors in T cell activation and dendritic cell maturation. These data suggest potential mechanisms and therapeutic benefits of A2 receptor antagonist therapy in NSCLC. |
