Query: A non-canonical convergence of carbohydrate and glutamine metabolism is required after metabolic rewiring in a solid environment The fate of pyruvate, which is modulated by the activity of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC), is a defining metabolic feature in many cancers. Diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCLs) are a genetically and metabolically heterogeneous cancer. Although MPC expression and activity differed between DLBCL subgroups, mitochondrial pyruvate was uniformly consumed by glutamate pyruvate transaminase 2 (GPT2) to support -ketoglutarate production as part of glutaminolysis. This led us to discover that glutamine exceeds pyruvate as a carbon source for the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle in DLBCLs. Furthermore, we found that MPC inhibition unexpectedly leads to decreased glutaminolysis, which is contrary to previous observations in other cell types. We also discovered that MPC inhibition and depletion only decreased DLBCL proliferation in an extracellular matrix (ECM) environment and in vivo xenografts, but not in the typical DLBCL suspension environment. We also have found that the metabolic profile of DLBCL cells in ECM is markedly different from cells in suspension environment. Thus, we report that besides the canonical glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH)-mediated glutaminolysis, the non-canonical GPT2 mediated consumption and assimilation of glutamine and pyruvate in DLBCLs enables their proliferation in an extracellular environment-dependent manner.
