Cellular senescence, characterized by a stable cell cycle arrest, is a well-documented consequence of several widely used chemotherapeutics that has context-dependent roles in cancer. Although senescent cells are non-proliferative, they remain biologically active and secrete a complex and diverse array of factors collectively known as the senescence-associated secretome (SAS), which exerts pro-tumorigenic effects. Here, we aimed to mechanistically investigate how the SAS contributes to metastatic dissemination of high grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC) using standard-of-care cisplatin as a senescence inducer. Our findings demonstrate that the cisplatin-induced SAS enhances the dissemination of HGSOC without affecting cell proliferation or viability. We found that the SAS facilitates cell detachment, an effect that is mediated by a metabolic component. Using a metabolically focused CRISPR knockout screen, we identified complex I as the key driver of SAS-mediated cell detachment in bystander cells and validated that inhibition of complex I activity decreases HGSOC dissemination . Mechanistically, this effect was driven by SAS-mediated inhibition of an NAD-SIRT-SREBP axis, leading to decreased plasma membrane cholesterol that increased cell detachment. Excitingly, we found that fructose is the key SAS component upstream of the NAD-SIRT-SREBP-cholesterol axis mediating increased detachment of bystander cells, and a high fructose diet increases HGSOC dissemination . These findings reveal that the cisplatin-induced SAS reprograms the metabolic microenvironment in HGSOC, driving cancer cell detachment and promoting metastatic dissemination in a paracrine fashion. They also point to a previously unrecognized pro-tumorigenic effect of the SAS that may contribute to the high recurrence rate of HGSOC patients.
细胞衰老的特征是稳定的细胞周期停滞,是几种广泛使用的化疗药物的一个有充分记录的后果,在癌症中具有依赖于背景的作用。虽然衰老细胞不增殖,但它们仍具有生物活性,并分泌一系列复杂多样的因子,统称为衰老相关分泌组(SAS),其具有促肿瘤作用。在这里,我们旨在通过机制研究SAS如何使用标准护理顺铂作为衰老诱导剂促进高级别浆液性卵巢癌(HGSOC)的转移扩散。我们的研究结果表明,顺铂诱导的SAS增强了HGSOC的扩散,而不影响细胞增殖或活力。我们发现SAS促进细胞脱离,这一作用由一种代谢成分介导。通过聚焦代谢的CRISPR基因敲除筛选,我们确定复合体I是旁观者细胞中SAS介导的细胞脱离的关键驱动因素,并验证了抑制复合体I活性可减少HGSOC的扩散。从机制上讲,这种作用是由SAS介导的对NAD-SIRT-SREBP轴的抑制驱动的,导致质膜胆固醇减少从而增加细胞脱离。令人兴奋的是,我们发现果糖是NAD-SIRT-SREBP-胆固醇轴上游介导旁观者细胞脱离增加的关键SAS成分,高果糖饮食会增加HGSOC的扩散。这些发现揭示了顺铂诱导的SAS重新编程了HGSOC中的代谢微环境,以旁分泌方式驱动癌细胞脱离并促进转移扩散。它们还指出了SAS以前未被认识的促肿瘤作用,这可能导致HGSOC患者的高复发率。
