Loss of Stromal Galectin-1 Enhances Multiple Myeloma Development: Emphasis on a Role in Osteoclasts.

ABSTRACT: Multiple myeloma osteolytic disease is caused by an uncoupled bone-remodelling process with an increased osteoclast activity. Disease development relies on interactions between myeloma cells and bone marrow stromal cells. Recent findings suggest a role for glycan-binding proteins in myeloma microenvironment. Here, we investigated lectins involved in osteoclastogenesis and their role in myeloma bone disease. Microarray data analysis showed a lower expression of galectin-1 (gal-1) in mature osteoclasts compared to monocytic progenitor cells, confirmed at the RNA and protein levels in osteoclast cultures. Confocal microscopy showed that gal-1 localised predominantly in the sealing zone of mature osteoclasts. Although equal differentiated-osteoclast numbers, gal-1-/- osteoclasts showed a higher resorption activity compared to wild-type controls. Micro-computed tomography showed an aberrant bone phenotype with decreased bone densities in gal-1-/- mice. In vivo, tumour progression was faster in gal-1-/- mice and associated with a marked bone loss. Additionally, myeloma cells were found to decrease gal-1 expression in osteoclasts. Our results demonstrate that galectin-1 regulates osteoclast activity with an increased resorption by gal-1-/- osteoclasts and decreased bone densities in gal-1-/- mice. We observed an enhanced tumour development in gal-1-/- mice compared to wild-type mice, suggesting that galectin-1 has a functional role in stromal cells in myeloma microenvironment.

Project description:Simple Summary Mitochondrial transfer plays a crucial role in the acquisition of drug resistance in multiple myeloma, but its exact mechanism is not yet clear; moreover, overcoming the drug resistance that it causes is also a major challenge. Our research on primary myeloma cell cultures reveals that mitochondrial transfer is bi-directional between bone marrow stromal cells and myeloma cells, occurring via tunneling nanotubes and partial cell fusion with extreme increases under the influence of chemotherapeutic drugs, whereupon survival and adenosine triphosphate levels increase, while mitochondrial superoxide levels decrease in myeloma cells. These changes and the elevation of superoxide levels in stromal cells are proportional to the amount of incorporated mitochondria derived from the other cell type and to the concentration of the used drug. Although the inhibition of mitochondrial transfer is limited between stromal and myeloma cells, the supportive effect of stromal cells can be effectively averted by influencing the tumor metabolism with an inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation in addition to chemotherapeutics. Abstract Recently, it has become evident that mitochondrial transfer (MT) plays a crucial role in the acquisition of cancer drug resistance in many hematologic malignancies; however, for multiple myeloma, there is a need to generate novel data to better understand this mechanism. Here, we show that primary myeloma cells (MMs) respond to an increasing concentration of chemotherapeutic drugs with an increase in the acquisition of mitochondria from autologous bone marrow stromal cells (BM-MSCs), whereupon survival and adenosine triphosphate levels of MMs increase, while the mitochondrial superoxide levels decrease in MMs. These changes are proportional to the amount of incorporated BM-MSC-derived mitochondria and to the concentration of the used drug, but seem independent from the type and mechanism of action of chemotherapeutics. In parallel, BM-MSCs also incorporate an increasing amount of MM cell-derived mitochondria accompanied by an elevation of superoxide levels. Using the therapeutic antibodies Daratumumab, Isatuximab, or Elotuzumab, no similar effect was observed regarding the MT. Our research shows that MT occurs via tunneling nanotubes and partial cell fusion with extreme increases under the influence of chemotherapeutic drugs, but its inhibition is limited. However, the supportive effect of stromal cells can be effectively avoided by influencing the metabolism of myeloma cells with the concomitant use of chemotherapeutic agents and an inhibitor of oxidative phosphorylation.
