Mitochondria help avoid glucose addiction in cancer cells


ABSTRACT: Cancer cells consume large amounts of glucose because of their specific metabolic pathway. However, cancer cells exist in tumor tissue where glucose is insufficient. To survive, cancer cells likely have the mechanism to elude their glucose addiction. Here we show that functional mitochondria are essential if cancer cells are to avoid glucose addiction. Cancer cells with dysfunctional mitochondria, such as mitochondrial DNA-deficient rho0 cells and electron transport chain blocker-treated cells, were highly sensitive to glucose deprivation. Our data demonstrated that this sensitization was caused by failure of the unfolded protein response (UPR), an adaptive response mediated by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This study suggests a link between mitochondria and the ER during the UPR under glucose deprivation conditions and that mitochondria govern cell fate, not only through ATP production and apoptosis regulation but also through modulating the UPR for cell survival. Human cancer cell lines (HT-1080, HT-29, and mtDNA-deficient cells derived from these cell lines) were selected for RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays. We examined the unfolded protein response (UPR), an adaptive response mediated by the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), of cancer cells under stress conditions.
