Аннотация
Phosphoinositide kinases generate distinct phosphoinositides that regulate pathways to support tumorigenesis. Phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate 4-kinases (PI5P4Ks) have garnered interest for their role in cancer metabolism; however, their function in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains unexplored. We identify PI5P4Kα as a critical dependency to support the unique metabolic demands of PDAC cells through its key role in the acquisition of essential metabolic substrates, including glucose and iron. Our data show that inhibition of PI5P4Kα creates a metabolic bottleneck that PDAC cells cannot overcome through adaptive shifts, leading to cancer-specific apoptotic cell death that is reversible by iron supplementation. Notably, we find that PI5P4Kα knockdown suppresses tumor growth in a xenograft mouse model of PDAC. These results not only illuminate the mechanistic underpinnings of PI5P4Kα function in PDAC but also position it as a promising therapeutic target for this disease.
