Abstract

Mitochondria contribute to tumor growth through multiple metabolic pathways, regulation of extracellular pH, calcium signaling, and apoptosis. Using the Mitochondrial Nuclear Exchange (MNX) mouse models, which pair nuclear genomes with different mitochondrial genomes, we previously showed that mitochondrial SNPs regulate mammary carcinoma tumorigenicity and metastatic potential in genetic crosses. Here, we tested the hypothesis that polymorphisms in stroma significantly affect tumorigenicity and experimental lung metastasis. Using syngeneic cancer cells (EO771 mammary carcinoma and B16-F10 melanoma cells) injected into wild-type and MNX mice (i.e., same nuclear DNA but different mitochondrial DNA), we showed mt-SNP-dependent increases (C3H/HeN) or decreases (C57BL/6J) in experimental metastasis. Superoxide scavenging reduced experimental metastasis. In addition, expression of lung nuclear-encoded genes changed specifically with mt-SNP. Thus, mitochondrial-nuclear cross-talk alters nuclear-encoded signaling pathways that mediate metastasis via both intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms. Significance: Stromal mitochondrial polymorphisms affect metastatic colonization through reactive oxygen species and mitochondrial-nuclear cross-talk.
