mTORC1 Mediates Biphasic Mechano‐Response to Orchestrate Adhesion‐Dependent Cell Growth and Anoikis Resistance
2024
Overview
Cells constantly sense and respond to not only biochemical but also biomechanical changes in their microenvironment, demanding for dynamic metabolic adaptation. ECM stiffening is a hallmark of cancer aggressiveness, while survival under substrate detachment also associates with poor prognosis. Mechanisms underlying this, non‐linear mechano‐response of tumor cells may reveal potential double‐hit targets for cancers. Here, an integrin‐GSK3β‐FTO‐mTOR axis is reported, that can integrate stiffness sensing to ensure both the growth advantage endowed by rigid substrate and cell death resistance under matrix detachment. It is demonstrated that substrate stiffening can activate mTORC1 and elevate mTOR level through integrins and GSK3β‐FTO mediated mRNA m6A modification, promoting anabolic metabolism. Inhibition of this axis upon ECM detachment enhances autophagy, which in turn conveys resilience of tumor cells to anoikis, as it is demonstrated in human breast ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and mice malignant ascites. Collectively, these results highlight the biphasic mechano‐regulation of cellular metabolism, with implications in tumor growth under stiffened conditions such as fibrosis, as well as in anoikis‐resistance during cancer metastasis. Mechanical force participates in various biological processes that require metabolic rewiring. As the major regulator of anabolism, mTORC1 has been the highlight of research in cell growth and tumor survival. An integrin‐GSK3β‐FTO‐mTOR axis is demonstrated to mediate the biphasic roles of mTORC1 in both tumor cell proliferation under high adhesion conditions/on stiff substrates and anoikis resistance upon substrate detachment.
