Abstract
An enhanced requirement for nutrients is a hallmark property of cancer cells. Here, we optimized an in vivo genetic screening strategy in acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which led to the identification of the myo-inositol transporter SLC5A3 as a dependency in this disease. We demonstrate that SLC5A3 is essential to support a myo-inositol auxotrophy in AML. The commonality among SLC5A3-dependent AML lines is the transcriptional silencing of ISYNA1, which encodes the rate-limiting enzyme for myo-inositol biosynthesis, inositol-3-phosphate synthase 1. We use gain- and loss-of-function experiments to reveal a synthetic lethal genetic interaction between ISYNA1 and SLC5A3 in AML, which function redundantly to sustain intracellular myo-inositol. Transcriptional silencing and DNA hypermethylation of ISYNA1 occur in a recurrent manner in human AML patient samples, in association with IDH1/IDH2 and CEBPA mutations. Our findings reveal myo-inositol as a nutrient dependency in AML caused by the aberrant silencing of a biosynthetic enzyme. SIGNIFICANCE: We show how epigenetic silencing can provoke a nutrient dependency in AML by exploiting a synthetic lethality relationship between biosynthesis and transport of myo-inositol. Blocking the function of this solute carrier may have therapeutic potential in an epigenetically defined subset of AML.This article is highlighted in the In This Issue feature, p. 275.

Abstract
Cell signaling via inositol phosphates, in particular via the second messenger myo-inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, and phosphoinositides comprises a huge field of biology. Of the nine 1,2,3,4,5,6-cyclohexanehexol isomers, myo-inositol is pre-eminent, with "other" inositols (cis-, epi-, allo-, muco-, neo-, L-chiro-, D-chiro-, and scyllo-) and derivatives rarer or thought not to exist in nature. However, neo- and d-chiro-inositol hexakisphosphates were recently revealed in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, thus highlighting the paucity of knowledge of the origins and potential biological functions of such stereoisomers, a prevalent group of environmental organic phosphates, and their parent inositols. Some "other" inositols are medically relevant, for example, scyllo-inositol (neurodegenerative diseases) and d-chiro-inositol (diabetes). It is timely to consider exploration of the roles and applications of the "other" isomers and their derivatives, likely by exploiting techniques now well developed for the myo series.

Abstract
Inositols play an important role in membrane lipid metabolism and mitogenic signaling of most cancer cells. There is paucity of data on the distribution of radiolabelled inositols. Based on work previously carried out on 1-deoxy-1-[(18)F]fluoro-scyllo-inositol ([(18)F]2), we began a program of work to label myo-inositol (2-deoxy-2-[(18)F]fluoro-myo-inositol, [(18)F]1), the most abundant inositol in cells. Fluorination of a triflate precursor 4 afforded the desired [(18)F]1 following deprotection with a radiochemical yield of 8% n.d.c. [(18)F]1 showed higher uptake in vivo in a human breast cancer xenograft model, MDA-MB-231, compared to [(18)F]2. Thus, we have developed a new inositol radiotracer that could have utility for studying inositol uptake in tumors.

Abstract
A simple and rapid MEKC method was developed for the simultaneous determination of myo-inositol, scyllo-inositol, and glucose. Prior to electrophoretic separation, the nonfluorescent inositols and glucose were derivatized by N-methylisatoic anhydride at 25 degrees C for 10 min so that they could be detected by a fluorescence detector during separation. The good separation with high efficiency by MEKC was achieved in 13 min with a glycine buffer containing SDS and PEG 4000. Several parameters affecting the separation were studied, including the pH of BGE, the concentrations of glycine, SDS, and PEG 4000, and the applied voltage. Using glycerol as an internal standard, the linear ranges of the method for myo-inositol, scyllo-inositol, and glucose were 0.03-10, 0.01-5, and 0.05-20 mM; the concentration LODs of myo-inositol, scyllo-inositol, and glucose were 0.020, 0.0078, and 0.026 mM, respectively. The method was applied to analyze extracellular myo-inositol and glucose in the microdialysates from rat brain cortex of ischemia animal model and intracellular myo-inositol and scyllo-inositol in the rat brain extract.

Abstract
A number of deoxyfluoro cyclitols have been synthesized and evaluated as probes of the phosphatidylinositol pathway (PtdIns pathway), most notably 5-deoxy-5-fluoro-myo-inositol, which is incorporated into the pathway at about 25% the level of myo-inositol itself. Unfortunately, none of the cyclitols have proved effective in limiting cell proliferation, as the cells are able to 'synthesize around' the fraudulent cyclitols using natural myo-inositol as substrate. Inhibitors for 3-phosphatidylinositol kinase, which has importance in a number of pathological conditions, including cancer, have been intensively investigated. 3-Deoxy-3-fluoro-myo-inositol is incorporated into the PtdIns pathway; however, only related phosphatidyl derivatives, for example, a methyl ether derivative of the 3-deoxy inositol, showed significant antiproliferative activity. Synthesis of the deoxyfluoro analogues most often has been accomplished by DAST fluoro-de-hydroxylation of the appropriate cyclitol, generally leading to products of inversion.

Abstract
myo-Inositol 1-phosphate synthase (EC 5.5.1.4) (IPS) is a key enzyme in myo-inositol biosynthesis pathway. This study describes the molecular cloning of the full length human myo-inositol 1-phosphate synthase (hIPS) cDNA, tissue distribution of its mRNA and characterizes its gene expression in cultured HepG2 cells. Human testis, ovary, heart, placenta, and pancreas express relatively high level of hIPS mRNA, while blood leukocyte, thymus, skeletal muscle, and colon express low or marginal amount of the mRNA. In the presence of glucose, hIPS mRNA level increases 2- to 4-fold in HepG2 cells. hIPS mRNA is also up-regulated 2- to 3-fold by 2.5 microM lovastain. This up-regulation is prevented by mevalonic acid, farnesol, and geranylgeraniol, suggesting a G-protein mediated signal transduction mechanism in the regulation of hIPS gene expression. hIPS mRNA expression is 50% suppressed by 10mM lithium ion in these cells. Neither 5mM myo-inositol nor the three hormones: estrogen, thyroid hormone, and insulin altered hIPS mRNA expression in these cells.

Abstract
The six monodeoxyfluoro-myo-inositols (nFIns) have previously been synthesized as potential inhibitors of signalling pathways mediated by phosphoinositides and their derivatives. Each of the six nFIns isomers was introduced into Swiss 3T3 fibroblasts by the techniques of microinjection or scrape loading at intracellular concentrations of approx. 2-4 mM. Of the six nFIns analogues, only 3FIns and 5FIns inhibited the serum-stimulated proliferation of 3T3 fibroblasts assayed by cell counting. Proliferation was inhibited to a similar extent by 3FIns or 5FIns, irrespective of which technique was used to introduce the nFIns analogues into the cells. Proliferation of cells 35 h after serum stimulation (i.e. when the first cell cycle was completed in control cells) was inhibited by approx. 50% by both 3FIns and 5FIns, and entry into S phase in the first cell cycle was inhibited to the same extent. This indicated that the nFIns analogues were inhibiting proliferation in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Proliferation during the second cell cycle (35-60 h after stimulation) was inhibited by 75-85%. The inhibitory nFIns analogues were not toxic to the cells, nor did they affect the cellular ATP/ADP ratio. The effectiveness of the nFIns analogues in inhibiting proliferation was directly correlated with their ability to be incorporated into phosphatidylinositol analogues, suggesting that they may act by modulating phosphoinositide signalling pathways or other functions essential for DNA synthesis.

Abstract
Monodeoxyfluoro-myo-inositols were applied to electropermeabilized and intact thymocyte preparations to study their metabolism and uptake in order to investigate their suitability as potential inhibitors of phosphoinositide-mediated cellular responses. Only three of the monodeoxyfluoro-myo-inositols were incorporated into the phospholipids of thymocytes: 1D-3-deoxy-3-fluoro-myo-inositol, 5-deoxy-5-fluoro-myo-inositol and 1D-6-deoxy-6-fluoro-myo-inositol, all of which were weaker substrates for phosphatidylinositol synthase than was myo-inositol. The 3-, 5- and 6-fluoro analogues also behaved as competitive inhibitors, with K1 values of 350 +/- 5 microM, 350 +/- 5 microM and 2.9 +/- 2 mM respectively, compared with a Km for myo-inositol of 31 +/- 4 microM. When incubated with electropermeabilized thymocyte preparations, these three analogues of myo-inositol all formed phospholipids with chromatographic properties which corresponded to those of substituted phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol monophosphate. The uptake of myo-inositol and of the monodeoxyfluoro-myo-inositols into intact thymocytes was studied by a dual-label technique. All the monodeoxyfluoro-myo-inositols were taken up to some extent, but only 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-myo-inositol and 1D-3-deoxy-3-fluoro-myo-inositol were actively concentrated. The monodeoxyfluoro-myo-inositols were also assayed for their ability to inhibit the uptake of myo-inositol into cells. Both 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-myo-inositol and 1D-3-deoxy-3-fluoro-myo-inositol were effective inhibitors of myo-inositol uptake. Furthermore, 1D-1-deoxy-1-fluoro-myo-inositol, which was not taken up actively, was an effective inhibitor of myo-inositol uptake. The three effective inhibitors all showed Ki values of approximately 150 microM, close to the apparent Km for inositol uptake of 180 microM, and the 4-, 5- and 6-fluoro analogues had Ki values in excess of 10 mM.

Abstract
Inositol uptake was studied in the rat CNS neuroblastoma B50 cell line. Eadie-Hofstee analysis of the uptake pattern reveals two defined modes of inositol entry into the cell. The high-affinity uptake component requires the presence of extracellular sodium and is inhibited by phloridzin. Analysis of the uptake velocities of the high-affinity uptake component provided the following apparent kinetic parameters: Km = 13.7 microM and Vmax = 14.7 pmol/mg of protein/min (without correcting for residual diffusion) and Km = 12.9 microM and Vmax = 12.3 pmol/mg of protein/min (with correction). At physiological concentrations, the high-affinity transport process contributes approximately 70% to total uptake; the remainder is due to a low-affinity diffusion-like process. Uptake inhibition studies reveal that the uptake process is sensitive to ouabain, amiloride, and dichlorobenzamil inhibition but relatively insensitive to cytochalasin B or phloretin. When neuroblastoma B50 cells are induced to differentiate morphologically with high extracellular calcium or with dibutyryl cyclic AMP, a significant decrease in inositol uptake is observed. The dibutyryl cyclic AMP-mediated inhibition of uptake affects only the high-affinity uptake component and is noncompetitive in nature. The high extracellular calcium-mediated inhibition is less specific; it involves "disappearance" of the high-affinity process, some inhibition of the low-affinity process, and an increase of inositol efflux. The significance of these observations is discussed in the context of neuroblastoma B50 cell differentiation.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the mechanism of inositol uptake into rat thoracic aorta. 3H-inositol uptake into deendothelialized aorta was linear for at least 2 h and was composed of both a saturable, Na(+)-dependent, and a nonsaturable, Na(+)-independent component. The Na(+)-dependent component of inositol uptake had a Km of 50 microM and a Vmax of 289 pmol/mg prot/h. Exposure to LiCl, ouabain, or Ca2(+)-free Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate solution inhibited uptake. Metabolic poisoning with dinitrophenol, as well as incubation with phloretin, an inhibitor of carrier-mediated hexose transport, also inhibited uptake. Exposure to norepinephrine decreased inositol uptake, while phorbol myristate acetate was without effect. Isobutylmethylxanthine significantly increased inositol uptake, while the increased uptake due to dibutyryl cyclic AMP and forskolin were not statistically significant. Sodium nitroprusside, an activator of guanylate cyclase, and 8-bromo cyclic GMP, were without effect on uptake, as was methylene blue, an inhibitor of guanylate cyclase. Inositol uptake into the aorta was increased when the endothelium was allowed to remain intact, although this effect was likely due to uptake into both the endothelial and smooth muscle cells. These results suggest that the uptake of inositol into vascular smooth muscle is: (1) dependent upon an inward Na(+)-gradient; (2) carrier mediated, and (3) inhibited by alpha 1 adrenoceptor agonists.
