Abstract

Metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells involves upregulation of fatty acid (FA) synthesis to support high bioenergetic demands and membrane synthesis. This has been shown for cytosolic synthesis of FAs with up to 16 carbon atoms. Synthesis of long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs), including ω-6 and ω-3 polyunsaturated FAs, takes place at the endoplasmic reticulum. Despite increasing evidence for an important role of LCFAs in cancer, the impact of their synthesis in cancer cell growth has scarcely been studied. Here, we demonstrated that silencing of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 12 (17β-HSD12), essentially catalyzing the 3-ketoacyl-CoA reduction step in LCFA production, modulates proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells in a cell line-dependent manner. Increased proliferation and migration after 17β-HSD12 knockdown were partly mediated by metabolism of arachidonic acid towards COX2 and CYP1B1-derived eicosanoids. Decreased proliferation was rescued by increased glucose concentration and was preceded by reduced ATP production through oxidative phosphorylation and spare respiratory capacity. In addition, 17β-HSD12 silencing was accompanied by alterations in unfolded protein response, including a decrease in CHOP expression and increase in eIF2α activation and the folding chaperone ERp44. Our study highlights the significance of LCFA biosynthesis for tumor cell physiology and unveils unknown aspects of breast cancer cell heterogeneity.
