Secretory mitophagy: an extracellular vesicle-mediated adaptive mechanism for cancer cell survival under oxidative stress by Purva V. Gade, Angela Victoria Rojas Rivera, Layla Hasanzadah, Sofie Strompf, Thomas Raymond Philipson, Matthew Gadziala, Atharva Tyagi, Arnav Bandam, Rithvik Gabbireddy, Fatah Kashanchi, Amanda Haymond, Lance A. Liotta, Marissa A. Howard

“…We propose a new cancer cell mechanism for survival that is activated when the demand for segregating and eliminating damaged mitochondria exceeds the capacity of the lysosome or proteasome. Specifically, we show that tumor cells subjected to oxidative stress by carbonyl cyanide-3-chlorophenylhdrazone (CCCP) eliminate damaged mitochondria segments by bypassing the lysosome to export them outside the cell via extracellular vesicles (EVs), a process termed “secretory mitophagy”. …”
