Summary: Ultrasound-stimulated microbubble (USMB) treatment is a promising strategy for cancer therapy. USMB promotes drug delivery by sonoporation and enhanced endocytosis, and also impairs cell viability. However, USMB elicits heterogeneous effects on cell viability, with apparently minimal effects on a subset of cells. This suggests that mechanisms of adaptation following USMB allow some cells to survive and/or proliferate. Herein, we used several triple negative breast cancer cells to identify the molecular mechanisms of adaptation to USMB-induced stress. We found that USMB alters steady-state levels of amino acids, glycolytic intermediates, and citric acid cycle intermediates, suggesting that USMB imposes metabolic stress on cells. USMB treatment acutely reduces ATP levels and stimulates the phosphorylation and activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK). AMPK is required to restore ATP levels and support cell proliferation post-USMB treatment. These results suggest that AMPK and metabolic perturbations are likely determinants of the antineoplastic efficacy of USMB treatment. |
