Targeting enolase 1 reverses bortezomib resistance in multiple myeloma through YWHAZ/Parkin axis

Abstract Background Enolase 1 (ENO1) is a conserved glycolytic enzyme that regulates glycolysis metabolism. However, its role beyond glycolysis in the pathophysiology of multiple myeloma (MM) remains largely elusive. Herein, this study aimed to elucidate the function of ENO1 in MM, particularly its...

description Abstract Background Enolase 1 (ENO1) is a conserved glycolytic enzyme that regulates glycolysis metabolism. However, its role beyond glycolysis in the pathophysiology of multiple myeloma (MM) remains largely elusive. Herein, this study aimed to elucidate the function of ENO1 in MM, particularly its impact on mitophagy under bortezomib-induced apoptosis. Methods The bone marrow of clinical MM patients and healthy normal donors was used to compare the expression level of ENO1. Using online databases, we conducted an analysis to examine the correlation between ENO1 expression and both clinicopathological characteristics and patient outcomes. To investigate the biological functions of ENO1 in MM and the underlying molecular mechanisms involved, we conducted the following experiment: construction of a subcutaneous graft tumor model, co-immunoprecipitation, western blot, quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry, flow cytometry, and cell functional assays. Results ENO1 was identified as an unfavorable prognostic factor in MM. ENO1 knockdown suppresses tumorigenicity and causes cell cycle arrest. Inhibition of ENO1-regulated mitophagy sensitizes tumor cells to apoptosis. ENO1 enhanced the stability of the YWHAZ protein by increasing the acetylation of lysine in YWHAZ while antagonizing its ubiquitination, which in turn promoted mitophagy. HDAC6 mediates the deacetylation of YWHAZ by deacetylating the K138 site of YWHAZ. Inhibition of HDAC6 increased YWHAZ acetylation and decreased YWHAZ ubiquitination. Furthermore, combination treatment with bortezomib and pharmaceutical agents targeting ENO1 has synergistic anti-MM effects both in vivo and in vitro. Conclusion Our data suggest that ENO1 promotes MM tumorigenesis and progression. ENO1 activates mitophagy by promoting the stability of YWHAZ and inhibits apoptosis and thus, leads to the drug resistance. ENO1-dependent mitophagy promotes MM proliferation and suppresses the level of bortezomib-induced apoptosis. Inhibition of ENO1 may represent a potential strategy to reverse the resistance of MM to bortezomib.
