Abstract
- Abstract Hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) exhibit significant functional and metabolic alterations within the lung cancer microenvironment, contributing to tumor progression and immune evasion by increasing differentiation into myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Our aim is to analyze the metabolic transition of HSCs from glycolysis to oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in lung cancer and determine its effects on HSC functionality. Using a murine Lewis Lung Carcinoma lung cancer model, we conducted metabolic profiling of long-term and short-term HSCs, as well as multipotent progenitors, comparing their metabolic states in normal and cancer conditions. We measured glucose uptake using 2-[N-(7-Nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)Amino]-2-Deoxyglucose (2-NBDG) and assessed levels of lactate, acetyl-coenzyme A, and ATP. Mitochondrial functionality was evaluated through flow cytometry, alongside the impact of the glucose metabolism inhibitor 2-DG on HSC differentiation and mitochondrial activity. HSCs under lung cancer conditions showed increased glucose uptake and lactate production, with an associated rise in OXPHOS activity, marking a metabolic shift. Treatment with 2-DG led to decreased T-HSCs and MDSCs and an increased red blood cell count, highlighting its potential to influence metabolic and differentiation pathways in HSCs. This study provides novel insights into the metabolic reprogramming of HSCs in lung cancer, emphasizing the critical shift from glycolysis to OXPHOS and its implications for the therapeutic targeting of cancer-related metabolic pathways.
