Metastatic breast tumors undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT),
which renders them resistant to therapies targeted to the primary cancers. The
mechanistic link between mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) reduction, often seen in
breast cancer patients, and EMT is unknown. We demonstrate that reducing mtDNA
content in human mammary epithelial cells (hMECs) activates Calcineurin
(Cn)-dependent mitochondrial retrograde signaling pathway, which induces EMT-like
reprogramming to fibroblastic morphology, loss of cell polarity, contact
inhibition and acquired migratory and invasive phenotype. Notably, mtDNA
reduction generates breast cancer stem cells. In addition to retrograde signaling
markers, there is an induction of mesenchymal genes but loss of epithelial
markers in these cells. The changes are reversed by either restoring the mtDNA
content or knockdown of CnA? mRNA, indicating the causal role of retrograde
signaling in EMT. Our results point to a new therapeutic strategy for metastatic
breast cancers targeted to the mitochondrial retrograde signaling pathway for
abrogating EMT and attenuating cancer stem cells, which evade conventional
therapies. We report a novel regulatory mechanism by which low mtDNA content
generates EMT and cancer stem cells in hMECs.
