Hypoxic microenvironment and metabolic dysregulation of tumor impairs the therapeutic efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs, resulting in drug resistance and tumor metastasis, which has always been a challenge for the treatment of solid tumors, including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Herein, starting from the evaluation of methionine metabolism in RCC cells, we demonstrated that the increased methionine accumulation in RCC cells was mediated by L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1) under hypoxia. Glutathione (GSH), as a methionine metabolite, would attenuate the therapeutic efficacy of oxaliplatin through chemical chelation. Reducing methionine uptake by LAT1 inhibitor JPH203 significantly enhanced the sensitivity of RCC cells to oxaliplatin by reducing GSH production in vitro and in vivo. Therefore, we proposed an effective and stable therapeutic strategy based on the combination of oxaliplatin and LAT1 inhibitor, which is expected to solve the resistance of RCC to platinum-based drugs under hypoxia to a certain extent, providing a meaningful insight into the development of new therapeutic strategies and RCC treatment.
