A Repertoire of MicroRNAs Regulates Cancer Cell Starvation by Targeting Phospholipase D in a Feedback Loop That Operates Maximally in Cancer Cells

Abstract

We report a negative feedback loop between the signaling protein phospholipase D (PLD), phosphatidic acid (PA), and a specific set of microRNAs (miRNAs) during nutrient starvation of breast cancer cells. We show that PLD expression is increased in four breast cancer cell lines and that hypoxia, cell overcrowding, and nutrient starvation for 3 to 6 h increase expression even further. However, after prolonged (>12-h) starvation, PLD levels return to basal or lower levels. The mechanism for this is as follows. First, during initial starvation, an elevated PA (the product of PLD enzymatic activity) activates mTOR and S6K, known to inhibit apoptosis, and enhances cell migration especially in post-epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (post-EMT) cancer cells. Second, continued PA production in later starvation induces expression of PLD-targeting microRNA 203 (miR-203), miR-887, miR-3619-5p, and miR-182, which reduce PLD translation. We provide direct evidence for a feedback loop, whereby PLD induction upon starvation leads to PA, which induces expression of miRNAs, which in turn inhibits PLD2 translation. The physiological relevance for breast cancer cells is that as PA can activate cell invasion, then, due to the negative feedback, i...Continue Reading

Invasive breast cancers indicate a spread into breast tissues and lymph nodes. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to breast invasive carcinomas.

Cell Migration in Cancer and Metastasis

Migration of cancer cells into surrounding tissue and the vasculature is an initial step in tumor metastasis. Discover the latest research on cell migration in cancer and metastasis here.

Autophagy & Metabolism

Autophagy preserves the health of cells and tissues by replacing outdated and damaged cellular components with fresh ones. In starvation, it provides an internal source of nutrients for energy generation and, thus, survival. A powerful promoter of metabolic homeostasis at both the cellular and whole-animal level, autophagy prevents degenerative diseases. It does have a downside, however--cancer cells exploit it to survive in nutrient-poor tumors.

Autophagy & Model Organisms

Autophagy is a cellular process that allows degradation by the lysosome of cytoplasmic components such as proteins or organelles. Here is the latest research on autophagy & model organisms
