Proteomic Analysis Reveals Warburg Effect and Anomalous Metabolism of Glutamine in Pancreatic Cancer Cells

In this present work, we characterized the proteomes of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell line PANC-1 and normal pancreatic duct cells by mass spectrometry using LTQ-Orbitrap and identified more than 1700 proteins from each sample. On the basis of the spectra count label-free quantification approach, we identified a large number of differentially expressed metabolic enzymes and proteins involved in cytoskeleton, cell adhesion, transport, transcription, translation, and cell proliferation as well. The data demonstrated that metabolic pathways were altered in PANC-1, consistent with the Warburg effect. In addition, the comparative MS analysis unveiled anomalous metabolism of glutamine, suggesting that glutamine was largely consumed as a nitrogen donor in nucleotide and amino acid biosynthesis in PANC-1. Our analysis provides a potentially comprehensive picture of metabolism in PANC-1, which may serve as the basis of new diagnostics and treatment of PDAC

Oligonucleotide primer sequences for SybrGreen qRT-PCR. Figure S1a–d Adhesion, migration and invasion ability of PT45 and T3M4 shENO1 PDA cells. Adhesive potential of shENO1 PT45 (a) and shENO1 T3M4 (b) compared to relative shCTRL control cells was evaluated by culturing cells for 1 h on FN, Col-I, Col-IV and VN. Adherent cells were fixed with 2% glutaraldehyde in PBS and visualized by staining with crystal violet. For quantitative analysis, cells were treated with 10% acetic acid and elutes were read with a microplate reader at a wavelength of 570 nm. Results are expressed as Δ ⋿ OD (Optical Density) units = (OD substrate adherent cells) – (OD plastic adherent cells). (c) Migration ability was evaluated in terms of ability to close the wound with shENO1 PT45 and shENO1 T3M4 cells compared to shCTRL control cells. Representative images are shown for each condition. (d) Invasive potential of shENO1 PT45 and shENO1 T3M4 were tested by a Matrigel invasion assay, after 48 h of culture. For quantitative analysis, invasive cells were fixed, stained with crystal violet, treated with acetic acid and elutes were read at a wavelength of 570 nm. Data are mean ± SEM of at least three independent experiments. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001 (DOCX 326 kb
