Breast cancer (BC) is the most prevalent and highly heterogeneous malignancy affecting females worldwide, and its development is closely linked to metabolic reprogramming. In this study, label-free quantification (LFQ) was used to analyze the protein expression in exosomes secreted by BC drug-resistant cells, identifying RAS-associated binding protein (RAB) 10 as the most significantly upregulated protein. RAB10, a member of the small GTPase family with complex biological functions, is highly expressed in BC and is associated with poor prognosis. In this study, we mainly utilized mouse breast cancer 4T-1 cells (wild-type control cells) and tumor-induced 4T-1 cells (isolated from mouse in situ tumor tissues to simulate the phenotype of the in vivo tumor microenvironment), and on this basis, conducted in vitro functional verification and in vivo tumorigenesis experiments. A comprehensive multi-omics analysis, including metabolomics and proteomics, following RAB10 knockdown, demonstrated the crucial role of RAB10 in regulating central carbon metabolism, which is essential for autophagy and ferroptosis in BC cells. Our study further confirmed that RAB10 mediates metabolic reprogramming in BC cells by regulating the Slc37a2/mTOR pathway, leading to enhanced autophagy and inhibition of ferroptosis. This comprehensive multi-omics analysis elucidated the key molecular and regulatory mechanisms underlying RAB10-induced metabolic reprogramming in tumors, providing potential new therapeutic targets and biomarkers for prognostic assessment in BC treatment.
乳腺癌(BC)是全球影响女性的最常见且高度异质性的恶性肿瘤,其发展与代谢重编程密切相关。在本研究中,采用无标记定量(LFQ)分析BC耐药细胞分泌的外泌体中的蛋白质表达,确定RAS相关结合蛋白(RAB)10为上调最显著的蛋白质。RAB10是具有复杂生物学功能的小GTPase家族成员,在BC中高表达且与预后不良相关。在本研究中,我们主要利用小鼠乳腺癌4T-1细胞(野生型对照细胞)和肿瘤诱导的4T-1细胞(从小鼠原位肿瘤组织分离以模拟体内肿瘤微环境的表型),并在此基础上进行体外功能验证和体内肿瘤发生实验。在RAB10敲低后进行的包括代谢组学和蛋白质组学在内的综合多组学分析表明,RAB10在调节中心碳代谢中起关键作用,这对BC细胞中的自噬和铁死亡至关重要。我们的研究进一步证实,RAB10通过调节Slc37a2/mTOR途径介导BC细胞中的代谢重编程,导致自噬增强和铁死亡抑制。这种综合多组学分析阐明了RAB10诱导肿瘤代谢重编程的关键分子和调控机制,为BC治疗中的预后评估提供了潜在的新治疗靶点和生物标志物。
