    Abstract:
    Mitophagy, which selectively eliminates the dysfunctional and excess mitochondria by autophagy, is crucial for cellular homeostasis under stresses such as hypoxia. Dysregulation of mitophagy has been increasingly linked to many disorders including neurodegenerative disease and cancer. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), a highly aggressive breast cancer subtype, is reported to be characterized by hypoxia. However, the role of mitophagy in hypoxic TNBC as well as the underlying molecular mechanism is largely unexplored. Here, we identified GPCPD1 (glycerophosphocholine phosphodiesterase 1), a key enzyme in choline metabolism, as an essential mediator in hypoxia-induced mitophagy. Under the hypoxic condition, we found that GPCPD1 was depalmitoylated by LYPLA1, which facilitated the relocating of GPCPD1 to the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM). Mitochondria-localized GPCPD1 could bind to VDAC1, the substrate for PRKN/PARKIN-dependent ubiquitination, thus interfering with the oligomerization of VDAC1. The increased monomer of VDAC1 provided more anchor sites to recruit PRKN-mediated polyubiquitination, which consequently triggered mitophagy. In addition, we found that GPCPD1-mediated mitophagy exerted a promotive effect on tumor growth and metastasis in TNBC both in vitro and in vivo. We further determined that GPCPD1 could serve as an independent prognostic indicator in TNBC. In conclusion, our study provides important insights into a mechanistic understanding of hypoxia-induced mitophagy and elucidates that GPCPD1 could act as a potential target for the future development of novel therapy for TNBC patients.Abbreviations: ACTB: actin beta; 5-aza: 5-azacytidine; BNIP3: BCL2 interacting protein 3; BNIP3L: BCL2 interacting protein 3 like; CCCP: carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyl hydrazone; ChIP: chromatin immunoprecipitation; co-IP: co-immunoprecipitation; CQ: chloroquine; CsA: cyclosporine; DOX: doxorubicin; FIS1: fission, mitochondrial 1; FUNDC1: FUN14 domain containing 1; GPCPD1: glycerophosphocholine phosphodiesterase 1; HAM: hydroxylamine; HIF1A: hypoxia inducible factor 1 subunit alpha; HRE: hypoxia response element; IF: immunofluorescence; LB: lysis buffer; LC3B/MAP1LC3B: microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta; LC-MS: liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry; LYPLA1: lysophospholipase 1; LYPLA2: lysophospholipase 2; MDA231: MDA-MB-231; MDA468: MDA-MB-468; MFN1: mitofusin 1; MFN2: mitofusin 2; MKI67: marker of proliferation Ki-67; OCR: oxygen consumption rate; OMM: outer mitochondrial membrane; OS: overall survival; PalmB: palmostatin B; PBS: phosphate-buffered saline; PINK1: PTEN induced kinase 1; PRKN: parkin RBR E3 ubiquitin protein ligase; SDS: sodium dodecyl sulfate; TOMM20: translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20; TNBC: triple-negative breast cancer; VBIT-4: VDAC inhibitor; VDAC1: voltage dependent anion channel 1; WT: wild type.
