ABSTRACT
Tumor microenvironment (TME) of solid tumors including breast cancer is complex and contains a distinct cytokine pattern including TNF-α, which determines the progression and metastasis of breast tumors. The metastatic potential of triple negative breast cancer subtypes is high as compared to other subtypes of breast cancer. NF-κB is key transcription factor regulating inflammation and mitochondrial bioenergetics including oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) genes which determine its oxidative capacity and generating reducing equivalents for synthesis of key metabolites for proliferating breast cancer cells. The differential metabolic adaptation and OXPHOS function of breast cancer subtypes in inflammatory conditions and its contribution to metastasis is not well understood. Here we demonstrated that different subunits of NF-κB are differentially expressed in subtypes of breast cancer patients. RELA, one of the major subunits in regulation of the NF-κB pathway is positively correlated with high level of TNF-α in breast cancer patients. TNF-α induced NF-κB regulates the expression of LYRM7, an assembly factor for mitochondrial complex III. Downregulation of LYRM7 in MDA-MB-231 cells decreases mitochondrial super complex assembly and enhances ROS levels, which increases the invasion and migration potential of these cells. Further, in vivo studies using Infliximab, a monoclonal antibody against TNF-α showed decreased expression of LYRM7 in tumor tissue. Large scale breast cancer databases and human patient samples revealed that LYRM7 levels decreased in triple negative breast cancer patients compared to other subtypes and is determinant of survival outcome in patients. Our results indicate that TNF-α induced NF-κB is a critical regulator of LYRM7, a major factor for modulating mitochondrial functions under inflammatory conditions, which determines growth and survival of breast cancer cells.
