Platinum-based therapy remains the cornerstone for cancer patient management; however, its efficacy varies. This study demonstrated the differential expressions of low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) in subtypes of epithelial ovarian carcinoma (EOC) determines cisplatin sensitivity. It's sensitive in serous EOCs (low LDLR), where insensitive in endometrioid and clear cell EOCs (high LDLR). Meanwhile, knocked-down or overexpressed LDLR in EOC could reversed the chemosensitivity pattern both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistic dissection with transcriptome vs. lipidome trans-omics analyses elucidated the LDLR-->LPC (Lyso-PhosphotidylCholine)-->FAM83B (phospholipase-related)-->FGFRs (cisplatin sensitivity and phospholipase-related) regulatory axis in cisplatin insensitivity. Implementing LPC-liposome encapsulated cisplatin could facilitate DNA-adduct formation via lipid droplets (LDs) delivery. Furthermore, Bioinformatics analyses found that the LDL/R-->LD homeostasis alteration is critical for therapeutic prognosis. Lastly, using LPC-liposome-cisplatin improved cisplatin sensitivities in gastric cancer, renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, and pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells. In conclusion, this report discovered a LDL/R-reprogrammed transcriptome-lipidome network, by which impulses platinum insensitivity and disease outcome. The drug specific lipidome for liposome manufacture might be an efficienct pharmaceutics strategy for chemoagents.

The low-density-lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP) is a multifunctional receptor involved in the clearance of a large number of diverse ligands, including proteases, protease-inhibitor complexes and lipoproteins. The mature receptor is composed of a 515 kDa and a 85 kDa subunit generated by proteolytic cleavage from a 600 kDa precursor polypeptide in a trans-Golgi compartment. Proteolytic processing occurs C-terminal to the tetrabasic amino acid sequence RHRR, a consensus recognition site for precursor processing endoproteases or convertases. In this study we have identified furin, a subtilisin-type protease, to be necessary for efficient processing of LRP in cells. Furin-deficient RPE.40 cells exhibited an impaired processing of endogenous LRP and of a recombinant soluble form of the receptor containing the processing site. The processing defect in RPE.40 cells could be complemented by expression of furin from a transfected cDNA in cultured cells and by purified furin in vitro. The impaired maturation of LRP in RPE.40 cells did not affect its intracellular transport, and correlated with a slight but consistent reduction in the endocytosis of LRP-specific ligands. These data suggest that proteolytic processing of LRP by furin is not necessary for intracellular trafficking but might be required for normal receptor activity.
