Abstract

Simple Summary Somatic mutations in isocitrate dehydrogenase give rise to the excessive production and accumulation of D-2-hydroxyglutarate in certain malignancies. In addition to this well-described oncometabolite, we discovered a chemically related metabolite, namely 2-hydroxyglutarate-gamma-lactone, which is derived directly from 2-hydroxyglutarate. This novel metabolite may impact the anti-tumor immune response. In recent years, onco-metabolites like D-2-hydroxyglutarate, which is produced in isocitrate dehydrogenase-mutated tumors, have gained increasing interest. Here, we report a metabolite in human specimens that is closely related to 2-hydroxyglutarate: the intramolecular ester of 2-hydroxyglutarate, 2-hydroxyglutarate-gamma-lactone. Using C-13(5)-L-glutamine tracer analysis, we showed that 2-hydroxyglutarate is the endogenous precursor of 2-hydroxyglutarate-lactone and that there is a high exchange between these two metabolites. Lactone formation does not depend on mutated isocitrate dehydrogenase, but its formation is most probably linked to transport processes across the cell membrane and favored at low environmental pH. Furthermore, human macrophages showed not only striking differences in uptake of 2-hydroxyglutarate and its lactone but also in the enantiospecific hydrolysis of the latter. Consequently, 2-hydroxyglutarate-lactone may play a critical role in the modulation of the tumor microenvironment.
