摘要
Temozolomide (TMZ) is a commonly used chemotherapeutic agent for glioblastoma (GBM), but acquired drug resistance prevents its therapeutic efficacy. We investigated potential mechanisms underlying TMZ resistance and glycolysis in GBM cells through regulation by nuclear transcription factor Y subunit β (NFYB) of the oncogene serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2 (SHMT2). GBM U251 cells were transfected with NFYB-, SHMT2-, and the potential NFYB target histone deacetylase 5 (HDAC5)-related vectors. Glucose uptake and lactate production were measured with detection kits. CCK-8/colony formation, scratch, Transwell, and flow cytometry assays were performed to detect cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and apoptosis, respectively. The binding of NFYB to the HDAC5 promoter and the regulation of NFYB on HDAC5 promoter activity were detected with chromatin immunoprecipitation and dual-luciferase reporter assays, respectively. NFYB and HDAC5 were poorly expressed and SHMT2 was expressed at high levels in GBM U251 cells. NFYB overexpression or SHMT2 knockdown decreased glucose uptake, lactate production, proliferation, migration, and invasion and increased apoptosis and TMZ sensitivity of the cells. NFYB activated HDAC5 to inhibit SHMT2 expression. SHMT2 overexpression nullified the inhibitory effects of NFYB overexpression on glycolysis and TMZ resistance. Thus, NFYB may reduce tumorigenicity and TMZ resistance of GBM through effects on the HDAC5/SHMT2 axis.
