摘要

Chemotherapy resistance is a major factor contributing to the failure of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) treatment. Migrasomes can export damaged mitochondria out of the cell, and the timely removal of damaged mitochondria is key to cancer cell resistance. However, whether migrasomes regulate tumor resistance remains unknown. Here, we elucidated the role and mechanism of migrasomes in chemoresistance of NPC. We found that the formation of migrasomes was increased in cisplatin-resistant NPC cells, and inhibiting migrasome formation reduced cisplatin resistance. PinX1 was lowly expressed in tumor tissues of patients with high migrasome scores. Upstream mechanism analyses showed that TP53 was effectively bound to the promoter of PinX1, thereby enhancing its transcriptional activity. Knockdown of PinX1 facilitated migrasome formation via its telomerase inhibitory domain 252–328aa region binding to Rab11a, which relied on serine residues at the N-terminal 25aa site for promoting migrasome formation. Mechanistically, PinX1 recruited RanBP2 to induce the SUMOylation of Rab11a, leading to the degradation of Rab11a at the K207 site. Furthermore, PinX1 reduced cancer cell energy metabolism by inhibiting the export of damaged mitochondria via migrasomes. Collectively, TP53-activated PinX1 recruits RanBP2 to Rab11a, triggering Rab11a K207 SUMOylation and degradation, leading to impaired migrasome formation and mitochondrial transfer, and ultimately suppresses cisplatin resistance in NPC. Our study provides a new target for clinical reversal of chemotherapy resistance in patients with NPC.
