Obesity promotes radioresistance through SERPINE1-mediated aggressiveness and DNA repair of triple-negative breast cancer.


ABSTRACT: Obesity is a risk factor in various types of cancer, including breast cancer. The disturbance of adipose tissue in obesity highly correlates with cancer progression and resistance to standard treatments such as chemo- and radio-therapies. In this study, in a syngeneic mouse model of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), diet-induced obesity (DIO) not only promoted tumor growth, but also reduced tumor response to radiotherapy. Serpine1 (Pai-1) was elevated in the circulation of obese mice and was enriched within tumor microenvironment. In vitro co-culture of human white adipocytes-conditioned medium (hAd-CM) with TNBC cells potentiated the aggressive phenotypes and radioresistance of TNBC cells. Moreover, inhibition of both cancer cell autonomous and non-autonomous SERPINE1 by either genetic or pharmacological strategy markedly dampened the aggressive phenotypes and radioresistance of TNBC cells. Mechanistically, we uncovered a previously unrecognized role of SERPINE1 in DNA damage response. Ionizing radiation-induced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs) increased the expression of SERPINE1 in cancer cells in an ATM/ATR-dependent manner, and promoted nuclear localization of SERPINE1 to facilitate DSB repair. By analyzing public clinical datasets, higher SERPINE1 expression in TNBC correlated with patients' BMI as well as poor outcomes. Elevated SERPINE1 expression and nuclear localization were also observed in radioresistant breast cancer cells. Collectively, we reveal a link between obesity and radioresistance in TNBC and identify SERPINE1 to be a crucial factor mediating obesity-associated tumor radioresistance.
