Oncogene Regulated Release of Extracellular Vesicles
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Oncogenes can alter metabolism by changing the balance between anabolic and catabolic
processes. However, how oncogenes regulate tumor cell biomass remains poorly understood.
Using isogenic MCF10A cells transformed with nine different oncogenes, we show that specific
oncogenes reduce the biomass of cancer cells by promoting EV release. While MYC and
AURKB elicited the highest number of EVs, each oncogene selectively altered the protein
composition of released EVs. Likewise, oncogenes alter secreted miRNAs. MYC
overexpressing cells require ceramide, while AURKB require ESCRT to release high levels of
EVs. We identify an inverse relationship between MYC upregulation and activation of the
RAS/MEK/ERK signaling pathway for regulating EV release in some tumor cells. Finally,
lysosome genes and activity are downregulated in the context of MYC and AURKB, suggesting
that cellular contents instead of being degraded, were released via EVs. Thus, oncogene
mediated biomass regulation via differential EV release is a new metabolic phenotype.
