Abstract:
:The cystine/glutamate antiporter xCT (SLC7A11) is frequently overexpressed in many cancers, including glioblastoma. Cystine taken up by the cells via xCT is reduced to cysteine, which is used to synthesize glutathione for antioxidant cellular defense. However, overexpression of xCT causes cell death under glucose-limited conditions. We found that stimulation of glioblastoma cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF) induces the upregulation of xCT and promotes cell death under glucose deprivation. Treatment with the mTOR inhibitor Torin 1 suppressed the EGF-induced upregulation of xCT and cell death. EGF increased xCT mRNA levels, which was suppressed by Torin 1. The lysosome inhibitor bafilomycin A1 increased xCT protein levels in the absence of EGF or in the presence of EGF and Torin 1. Taken together, our study suggests that EGF promotes glioblastoma cell death under glucose-limited conditions via the upregulation of xCT at transcriptional and protein levels in an mTOR-dependent manner.
