Aminooxyacetate (AOA) is a known inhibitor of the transamination reaction. We previously found that AOA treatment showed dose dependent growth inhibitory activity in breast cancer cells, especially in glutamine dependent cancer cells such as SUM159. To investigate the mechanism of AOA action, we used 1H MRS of cell extracts and conditioned media from SUM159 and observed reductions of alanine, aspartate, phosphocholine, and increases of glutamate and tyrosine following treatment with 2mM AOA for 24h. Lactate production and glucose consumption in conditioned media and the level of Chk-α that catalyzes the formation of phosphocholine were not affected by AOA.
