Lactate-induced IGF1R protein lactylation promotes proliferation and metabolic reprogramming of lung cancer cells

Abstract: Lung cancer (LC) is regarded as a fatal cancer, and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and its receptor (IGF1R) have been found to play a key role in regulating tumor glycolytic metabolism. The aim of this study is to investigate LC proliferation regulated by metabolite-mediated IGF1R lactylation. IGF1R was highly expressed in LC tissues and cells, and the effects of IGF1R on protein stability were inhibited by Lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) inhibition. Moreover, the tightness of IGF1R binding to IGF1 was also enhanced by exogenous lactic acid but suppressed by LDHA silencing, while cell viability and proliferation were promoted by over-expression of IGF1R. Exogenous lactic acid further exacerbated the effects of the IGF1R gene, while LDHA knocking down reduced the IGF1R-induced malignant behaviors. The IGF1R and exogenous lactic acid were also found to increase extracellular acidification rate (ECAR) and decrease oxygen consumption rate to regulate glycolysis, which was inhibited by LDHA deficiency in LC cells. The study concluded that IGF1R-mediated aggressive behaviors of LC cells were associated with higher levels of IGF1R lactylation. Moreover, lactic acid can improve the protein stability of the IGF1R oncogene, thus promoting glycolysis and generating lactic acid, forming a closed loop. Therefore, targeting IGF1R is envisaged to provide a novel strategy for developing therapeutic agents against LC.
