Abstract
Objective: Leucyl-tRNA synthetase (LRS) is an aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase catalyzing ligation of leucine to its cognate tRNA and is involved in the activation of mTORC1 by sensing cytoplasmic leucine. In this study, the usefulness of LRS as a therapeutic target of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the anticancer effect of the LRS inhibitor, BC-LI-0186, was evaluated.

Methods: LRS expression and the antitumor effect of BC-LI-0186 were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining, immunoblotting, and live cell imaging. The in vivo antitumor effect of BC-LI-0186 was evaluated using Lox-Stop-Lox (LSL) K-ras G12D mice.

Results: LRS was frequently overexpressed in NSCLC tissues, and its expression was positively correlated with mTORC1 activity. The guanosine-5'-triphosphate (GTP) binding status of RagB was related to the expression of LRS and the S6K phosphorylation. siRNA against LRS inhibited leucine-mediated mTORC1 activation and cell growth. BC-LI-0186 selectively inhibited phosphorylation of S6K without affecting phosphorylation of AKT and leucine-mediated co-localization of Raptor and LAMP2 in the lysosome. BC-LI-0186 induced cleaved poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) and caspase-3 and increase of p62 expression, showing that it has the autophagy-inducing property. BC-LI-0186 has the cytotoxic effect at nanomolar concentration and its GI50 value was negatively correlated with the degree of LRS expression. BC-LI-0186 showed the antitumor effect, which was comparable with that of cisplatin, and mTORC1 inhibitory effect in a lung cancer model.

Conclusions: BC-LI-0186 inhibits the noncanonical mTORC1-activating function of LRS. These results provide a new therapeutic strategy for NSCLC and warrant future clinical development by targeting LRS.
