Popis: Summary Endocrine therapy (ET) is the standard of care for estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancers. Despite its efficacy, ∼40% of women relapse with ET-resistant (ETR) disease. A global transcription analysis in ETR cells reveals a downregulation of the neutral and basic amino acid transporter SLC6A14 governed by enhanced miR-23b-3p expression, resulting in impaired amino acid metabolism. This altered amino acid metabolism in ETR cells is supported by the activation of autophagy and the enhanced import of acidic amino acids (aspartate and glutamate) mediated by the SLC1A2 transporter. The clinical significance of these findings is validated by multiple orthogonal approaches in a large cohort of ET-treated patients, in patient-derived xenografts, and in in vivo experiments. Targeting these amino acid metabolic dependencies resensitizes ETR cells to therapy and impairs the aggressive features of ETR cells, offering predictive biomarkers and potential targetable pathways to be exploited to combat or delay ETR in ER+ breast cancers.
Graphical Abstract
Highlights • ETR cells show high miR-23b-3p that reduces SLC6A14 and amino acids upload • ETR cells promote autophagy and aspartate and glutamate import via SLC1A2 • Aspartate and glutamate fuel anabolic and catabolic pathways in ETR breast cancers • Targeting amino acid metabolic reprogramming is effective in ETR cells
Bacci et al. find that endocrine-resistant ER+ breast cancers are characterized by enhanced miR-23b-3p, autophagy activation, and import of aspartate and glutamate that fuel catabolic and anabolic pathways, which are essential for their aggressive features. The molecular players involved in this metabolic scenario are of clinical significance and have prognostic and predictive value.
