Abstract | Breast Cancer (BC) is one of the most common tumours, and is known for its ability to develop resistance to chemotherapeutic treatments. Autophagy has been linked to chemotherapeutic response in several types of cancer, highlighting its contribution to this process. However, the role of mitophagy, a selective form of autophagy responsible for damaged mitochondria degradation, in the response to therapies in BC is still unclear. In order to address this point, we analysed the role of mitophagy in the treatment of the most common anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DXR), in different models of BC, such as a luminal A subtype-BC cell line MCF7 cells, cultured in 2-Dimension (2D) or in 3-Dimension (3D), and the triple negative BC (TNBC) cell line MDA-MB-231. Through a microarray analysis, we identified a relationship between mitophagy gene expressions related to the canonical PINK1/Parkin-mediated pathway and DXR treatment in BC cells. Afterwards, we demonstrated that the PINK1/Parkin-dependent mitophagy is indeed induced following DXR treatment and that exogenous expression of a small non-coding RNA, the miRNA-218-5p, known to target mRNA of Parkin, was sufficient to inhibit the DXR-mediated mitophagy in MCF7 and in MDA-MB-231 cells, thereby increasing their sensitivity to DXR. Considering the current challenges involved in BC refractory to treatment, our work could provide a promising approach to prevent tumour resistance and recurrence, potentially leading to the development of an innovative approach to combine mitophagy inhibition and chemotherapy. |
