Abstract Drug resistance is vital for the poor prognosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, but the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood.Given the unique microenvironment of bone marrow, we reasoned that drug resistance of AML might rely on distinct metabolic processes.Here, we identify succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) deficiency and over-cumulative succinate as typical features in AML, with a marked function in causing the resistance of On the Potential of 3D Transdimensional Surface Wave Tomography for Geothermal Prospecting of the Reykjanes Peninsula AML cells to various anti-cancer therapies.

Mechanistically, succinate promotes the accumulation of oncogenic proteins in a manner that precedes transcriptional activation.This function is mediated by succinate-triggered upregulation of ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2M (UBC12) phosphorylation, which impairs its E2 function in cullins neddylation.Notably, decreasing succinate by fludarabine can restore the sensitivity of anti-cancer Enhanced Photocatalytic Degradation Activity of BiFeO3 Microspheres by Decoration with g-C3N4 Nanoparticles drugs in SDH-deficient AML.

Together, we uncover the function of succinate in driving drug resistance by regulating p-UBC12/cullin activity, and indicate reshaping succinate metabolism as a promising treatment for SDH-deficient AML.
