MTflEcad I80 and MTflEcad DI150 cells, long-term treated murine derived breast cancer cell lines with H2O2


ABSTRACT: Background: Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been implicated in metastasis, drug resistance, survival under stress and also conferring stem cell-like traits to cancer cells. We have aimed at exploring the crosstalk between ROS and an EMT induced by TGFb in breast cancer cells. Methods: We observed that cells exposed to TGFb displayed a decrease of ROS levels. To identify the antioxidant pathways activated during EMT, we investigated the effect of long-term oxidative stress, for example by H2O2 (80 µM and 150 µM), on MTflECad epithelial cells derived from the MMTV-Neu mouse model. Results: We show that long-term treated MTflEcad epithelical cells with H2O2 display both higher migratory capability and tumorigenicity. Furthermore, we identified an activation of the Nrf2 transcription factor, master regulator of the antioxidant response, in H2O2-resistant cells, as well as in TGFb-induced mesenchymal cells. Conclusion: In this study we report the criticial role of the Nrf2-mediated glutathione metabolism in the protection of metastatic breast cancer cells from ferroptosis. Therapeutic targeting of antioxidant pathways may thus be beneficial for patients with metastatic disease.
