Popis: Enhanced fatty acid synthesis provides proliferation and survival advantages for tumor cells. Apelin is an adipokine, which serves as a ligand of G protein-coupled receptors that promote tumor growth in malignant cancers. Here, we confirmed that apelin increased sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (SREBP1) activity and induced the expression of glutamine amidotransferase for deamidating high-mobility group A 1 (HMGA1) to promote fatty acid synthesis and proliferation of lung cancer cells. This post-translational modification stabilized the HMGA1 expression and enhanced the formation of the apelin-HMGA1-SREBP1 complex to facilitate SREBP1 activity for lipid metabolism and lung cancer cell growth. We uncovered the pivotal role of apelin-mediated deamidation of HMGA1 in lipid metabolism and tumorigenesis of lung cancer cells.
