Mitochondrial adaptation decreases drug sensitivity of persistent triple negative breast cancer cells surviving combinatory and sequential chemotherapy

Résumé

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive malignancy for which chemotherapy remains the standard treatment. However, between 3 and 5 years after chemotherapy, about half patients will relapse and it is essential to identify vulnerabilities of cancer cells surviving neoadujuvant therapy. In this study, we established persistent TNBC cell models after treating MDA-MB-231 and SUM159-PT TNBC cell lines with epirubicin and cyclophosphamide, and then with paclitaxel, for a total of 18 weeks. The resulting chemo-persistent cell lines were more proliferative, both in vitro and in xenografted mice. Interestingly, MDA-MB-231 persistent cells became less sensitive to chemotherapeutic drugs, whereas SUM159-PT persistent cells kept similar sensitivity compared to control cells. The reduced sensitivity to chemotherapy in MDA-MB-231 persistent cells was found to be associated with an increased oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) and modified levels of tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) intermediates. Integration of data from proteomics and metabolomics demonstrated TCA cycle among the most upregulated pathways in MDA-MB-231 persistent cells. The absence of glucose and pyruvate impeded OXPHOS in persistent cells, while the absence of glutamine did not. In contrast, OXPHOS was not modified in control cells independently of TCA substrates, indicating that MDA-MB-231 persistent cells evolved towards a more pyruvate dependent profile. Finally, the inhibition of pyruvate entry into mitochondria with UK-5099 reduced OXPHOS and re-sensitized persistent cells to therapeutic agents. Together, these findings suggest that targeting mitochondrial pyruvate metabolism may help to overcome mitochondrial adaptation of chemo-persistent TNBC.
