Definitions

  • the invention relates to a screening method for the identification of inhibitors of nucleotide catabolism, such as uridine catabolism, to the inhibitors identified by the screening method and use thereof in oncology, immune modulation and metabolic disorder.
  • Glucose is vital for life, serving both as a source of energy and carbon building block for growth.
  • alternative nutrients are used by cells. It has been recently reported that catabolism of uridine or RNA enables cells to grow in the complete absence of glucose.
  • uridine can be salvaged to support pyrimidine synthesis in the setting of mitochondrial electron transport chain deficiency
  • the ribose moiety of uridine or RNA can be salvaged to fulfill energy requirements via uridine catabolism pathway defined as: (1) the phosphorylytic cleavage of uridine by uridine phosphorylase UPP1/2 into uracil and ribose- 1 -phosphate (RIP), (2) the conversion of RIP into fructose-6-P and glyceraldehyde-3-P by the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway (non-oxPPP), and (3) their glycolytic utilization to fuel ATP production, biosynthesis and gluconeogenesis.
  • uridine catabolism pathway defined as: (1) the phosphorylytic cleavage of uridine by uridine phosphorylase UPP1/2 into uracil and ribose- 1 -phosphate (RIP), (2) the conversion of RIP into fructose-6-
  • Such catabolism of uridine appears widespread, and its activity can be found in liver, activated macrophages, and certain cancer lineages.
  • An interesting property of such uridine catabolism is that uridine enters downstream of the initial, highly regulated steps of glucose transport and glycolysis.
  • metabolic inhibitors are a new, highly attractive area of research for oncology, immune and metabolic modulation.
  • drugs are approved or in clinical trials (I to III) for multiple types of cancers.
  • Those drugs generally target energy producing pathway such as glycolysis, mitochondrial respiration, glutaminolysis, fatty acid oxidation and more.
  • those drugs may fail due to the metabolic flexibility of cells. Metabolic flexibility is usually defined by the ability that cells have to switch from one energy source to another. For example, the action of an inhibitor of glycolysis may be bypassed by fatty acids oxidation.
  • identifying and drugging alternative pathways for energy production is of high interest for cancer research, but also immune modulation and metabolic syndromes.
  • Nucleotides are abundant in human diet, and every living organism ingested by humans, whether animal- or plant-based, contains DNA and RNA. It has been recently reported that organisms can assimilate and derive energy from nucleotides and nucleic acids, as described above. It has been shown that cells deprived of glucose (or genetically, or chemically, unable to perform glycolysis) can use nucleotides and nucleic acids as energy producing substrates. Thus, nucleotides play a critical role in maintaining cellular function and energy metabolism. Uridine, a pyrimidine nucleotide characterized by its high abundance and solubility is one of the most commonly used nucleotides for energy production.
  • Uridine is mostly present in blood and cerebrospinal fluid, where it contributes to the maintenance of basic cellular functions affected by uridine phosphorylase 1 and 2 (UPP1 and UPP2) enzyme activities, feeding habits, and ATP depletion. Uridine is also highly abundant in organs and in the diet. Uridine metabolism depends mainly on three stages: (1) de novo synthesis, (2) salvage, and (3) catabolism, all of which are tightly relating to glucose homeostasis, and lipid and amino acid metabolism.
  • nucleotides catabolism Due to the important roles of uridine, especially as an alternative energy source, there is a need for efficient and simple methods that can identify inhibitors of nucleotides catabolism, preferably uridine catabolism, and thereby prevent use of nucleotides as energy source by cells.
