MICU1 drives glycolysis and chemoresistance in ovarian cancer

Abstract

Cancer cells actively promote aerobic glycolysis to sustain their metabolic requirements through mechanisms not always clear. Here, we demonstrate that the gatekeeper of mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake, Mitochondrial Calcium Uptake 1 (MICU1/CBARA1) drives aerobic glycolysis in ovarian cancer. We show that MICU1 is overexpressed in a panel of ovarian cancer cell lines and that MICU1 overexpression correlates with poor overall survival (OS). Silencing MICU1 in vitro increases oxygen consumption, decreases lactate production, inhibits clonal growth, migration and invasion of ovarian cancer cells, whereas silencing in vivo inhibits tumour growth, increases cisplatin efficacy and OS. Mechanistically, silencing MICU1 activates pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) by stimulating the PDPhosphatase-phosphoPDH-PDH axis. Forced-expression of MICU1 in normal cells phenocopies the metabolic aberrations of malignant cells. Consistent with the in vitro and in vivo findings we observe a significant correlation between MICU1 and pPDH (inactive form of PDH) expression with poor prognosis. Thus, MICU1 could serve as an important therapeutic target to normalize metabolic aberrations responsible for poor prognosis in ovarian cancer.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.

Cell Migration

Cell migration is involved in a variety of physiological and pathological processes such as embryonic development, cancer metastasis, blood vessel formation and remoulding, tissue regeneration, immune surveillance and inflammation. Here is the latest research.

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.
