MTA1, a Novel ATP Synthase Complex Modulator, Enhances Colon Cancer Liver Metastasis by Driving Mitochondrial Metabolism Reprogramming.

ABSTRACT: Liver metastasis is the most fatal event of colon cancer patients. Warburg effect has been long challenged by the fact of upregulated oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), while its mechanism remains unclear. Here, metastasis-associated antigen 1 (MTA1) is identified as a newly identified adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase modulator by interacting with ATP synthase F1 subunit alpha (ATP5A), facilitates colon cancer liver metastasis by driving mitochondrial bioenergetic metabolism reprogramming, enhancing OXPHOS; therefore, modulating ATP synthase activity and downstream mTOR pathways. High-throughput screening of an anticancer drug shows MTA1 knockout increases the sensitivity of colon cancer to mitochondrial bioenergetic metabolism-targeted drugs and mTOR inhibitors. Inhibiting ATP5A enhances the sensitivity of liver-metastasized colon cancer to sirolimus in an MTA1-dependent manner. The therapeutic effects are verified in xenograft models and clinical cases. This research identifies a new modulator of mitochondrial bioenergetic reprogramming in cancer metastasis and reveals a new mechanism on upregulating mitochondrial OXPHOS as the reversal of Warburg effect in cancer metastasis is orchestrated.

Project description:BackgroundMetabolic reprogramming plays a pivotal role in tumorigenesis and development of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, the precise mechanisms and potential targets for metabolic reprogramming in LUAD remain elusive. Our prior investigations revealed that the mitochondrial ribosomal protein MRPL12, identified as a novel mitochondrial transcriptional regulatory gene, exerts a critical influence on mitochondrial metabolism. Despite this, the role and regulatory mechanisms underlying MRPL12's transcriptional activity in cancers remain unexplored.MethodsHuman LUAD tissues, Tp53fl/fl;KrasG12D-driven LUAD mouse models, LUAD patient-derived organoids (PDO), and LUAD cell lines were used to explored the expression and function of MRPL12. The posttranslational modification of MRPL12 was analyzed by mass spectrometry, and the oncogenic role of key phosphorylation sites of MRPL12 in LUAD development was verified in vivo and in vitro.ResultsMRPL12 was upregulated in human LUAD tissues, Tp53fl/fl;KrasG12D-driven LUAD tissues in mice, LUAD PDO, and LUAD cell lines, correlating with poor patient survival. Overexpression of MRPL12 significantly promoted LUAD tumorigenesis, metastasis, and PDO formation, while MRPL12 knockdown elicited the opposite phenotype. Additionally, MRPL12 deletion in a Tp53fl/fl;KrasG12D-driven mouse LUAD model conferred a notable survival advantage, delaying tumor onset and reducing malignant progression. Mechanistically, we discovered that MRPL12 promotes tumor progression by upregulating mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Furthermore, we identified UBASH3B as a specific binder of MRPL12, dephosphorylating tyrosine 60 in MRPL12 (MRPL12 Y60) and inhibiting its oncogenic functions. The decrease in MRPL12 Y60 phosphorylation impeded the binding of MRPL12 to POLRMT, downregulating mitochondrial metabolism in LUAD cells. In-depth in vivo, in vitro, and organoid models validated the inhibitory effect of MRPL12 Y60 mutation on LUAD.ConclusionThis study establishes MRPL12 as a novel oncogene in LUAD, contributing to LUAD pathogenesis by orchestrating mitochondrial metabolism reprogramming towards oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Furthermore, it confirms Y60 as a specific phosphorylation modification site regulating MRPL12's oncogenic functions, offering insights for the development of LUAD-specific targeted drugs and clinical interventions.
