TGF-β signalling plays an important role in fibroblasts activation and tumour progression. Here, we report that the TGFBR-IDH1-Cav1 axis promotes TGF- β signalling in fibroblasts. Our data demonstrated that IDH1 was downregulated by TGF-β signalling in fibroblasts, and downregulation of IDH1 increased cellular concentration of α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) by accelerating glutamine metabolization. Interestingly, α-KG suppressed Cav1 expression through reducing the trimethylation of histone H3K4. Furthermore, Cav1 downregulation inhibited TGFBR protein degradation. In turn, the activated TGFBR promoted TGF-β signalling. These findings demonstrated that metabolic enzyme IDH1 regulates TGF-β signalling by feedback mechanism through α-KG and TGFBR-IDH1-Cav1 axis is important for TGF-β signalling.
转化生长因子-β(TGF-β)信号通路在成纤维细胞激活和肿瘤进展中起重要作用。在此,我们报告TGFBR-IDH1-Cav1轴促进成纤维细胞中的TGF-β信号通路。我们的数据表明,在成纤维细胞中,TGF-β信号通路下调了IDH1,而IDH1的下调通过加速谷氨酰胺代谢增加了α-酮戊二酸(α-KG)的细胞浓度。有趣的是,α-KG通过减少组蛋白H3K4的三甲基化来抑制Cav1表达。此外,Cav1的下调抑制了TGFBR蛋白的降解。反过来,激活的TGFBR促进了TGF-β信号通路。这些发现表明,代谢酶IDH1通过α-KG以反馈机制调节TGF-β信号通路,且TGFBR-IDH1-Cav1轴对TGF-β信号通路很重要。
