Metabolic adjustments are necessary for the initiation, proliferation, and spread of cancer cells. Although mitochondria have been shown to move to cancer cells from their microenvironment, the metabolic consequences of this phenomenon have yet to be fully elucidated. Here, we report that multiple myeloma cells use mitochondrial-based metabolism as well as glycolysis when located within the bone marrow microenvironment. The reliance of multiple myeloma cells on oxidative phosphorylation was caused by intercellular mitochondrial transfer to multiple myeloma cells from neighboring nonmalignant bone marrow stromal cells. This mitochondrial transfer occurred through tumor-derived tunneling nanotubes (TNT). Moreover, shRNA-mediated knockdown of CD38 inhibits mitochondrial transfer and TNT formation in vitro and blocks mitochondrial transfer and improves animal survival in vivo. This study describes a potential treatment strategy to inhibit mitochondrial transfer for clinical benefit and scientifically expands the understanding of the functional effects of mitochondrial transfer on tumor metabolism.Significance:Multiple myeloma relies on both oxidative phosphorylation and glycolysis following acquisition of mitochondria from its bone marrow microenvironment.See related commentary by Boise and Shanmugam, p. 2102 |
