MANF facilitates breast cancer cell survival under glucose-starvation conditions via PRKN-mediated mitophagy regulation.

ABSTRACT: During tumor expansion, breast cancer (BC) cells often experience reactive oxygen species accumulation and mitochondrial damage because of glucose shortage. However, the mechanism by which BC cells deal with the glucose-shortage-induced oxidative stress remains unclear. Here, we showed that MANF (mesencephalic astrocyte derived neurotrophic factor)-mediated mitophagy facilitates BC cell survival under glucose-starvation conditions. MANF-mediated mitophagy also promotes fatty acid oxidation in glucose-starved BC cells. Moreover, during glucose starvation, SENP1-mediated de-SUMOylation of MANF increases cytoplasmic MANF expression through the inhibition of MANF's nuclear translocation and hence renders mitochondrial distribution of MANF. MANF mediates mitophagy by binding to PRKN (parkin RBR
