ABSTRACT
One hallmark of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is metabolic reprogramming, which involves elevation of glycolysis and upregulation of lipid metabolism. However, the mechanism of metabolic reprogramming is incompletely understood. Monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) promotes transport for lactate and pyruvate, which are crucial for cell metabolism. The aim of present study was to investigate the function of MCT1 on RCC development and its mechanism on metabolic reprogramming. The results showed that MCT1 messenger RNA and protein levels significantly increased in cancer tissues of ccRCC compared to normal tissue. MCT1 was further found to mainly located in the cell membrane of RCC. The knockdown of MCT1 by RNAi significantly inhibited proliferation and migration of 786-O and ACHN cells. MCT1 also induced the expressions of proliferation marker Ki-67 and invasion marker SNAI1. Moreover, we also showed that acetate treatment could upregulate the expression of MCT1, but not other MCT isoforms. On the other hand, MCT1 was involved in acetate transport and intracellular histone acetylation. In summary, this study revealed that MCT1 is abnormally high in ccRCC and promotes cancer development. The regulatory effect of MCT1 on cell proliferation and invasion maybe mediated by acetate transport.
