FAM83B Regulates Mitochondrial Metabolism and Anti-Apoptotic Activity in pulmonary adenocarcinoma

Abstract Background:Chemotherapy is an effective therapeutic modality; nevertheless, a significant proportion of patients diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) demonstrate resistance to chemotherapy. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the potential regulatory mechanisms to develop novel treatment strategies. Methods: Multiple assays, such as CCK8, wound healing, EdU, and transwell assays, were employed to confirm the augmented chemotherapy resistance, heightened cell proliferation, migration, and invasion caused by FAM83B overexpression in LUAD cells. Furthermore, MIMP, MTG, and ATP assays were utilized to quantify changes in mitochondria metabolism. In vitro functional assays were performed to evaluate the influence of FAM83B overexpression on the malignant progression and resistance mechanisms to chemotherapy in LUAD. Results: In the context of this study, it was determined that LUAD patients with increased FAM83B expression had shorter survival times, and tissue samples with FAM83B overexpression were more prone to metastasis compared to primary samples. As a result, FAM83B is identified as an adverse prognostic marker. The mechanistic analysis demonstrated that FAM83B impedes the translocation of calbindin 2 (CALB2) from the cytoplasm to the mitochondria, resulting in the inhibition of apoptosis and the promotion of mitochondrial activity. Consequently, this ultimately confers resistance to chemotherapy in LUAD. Furthermore, the administration of metformin, which blocks mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS), can restore sensitivity to drug resistance in LUAD. Conclusions: Taken together, these findings provide substantial evidence supporting the notion that FAM83B enhances chemotherapy resistance in LUAD through the upregulation of mitochondrial metabolism and the inhibition of apoptosis..
