Targeting Caveolin‐1 in Multiple Myeloma Cells Enhances Chemotherapy and Natural Killer Cell‐Mediated Immunotherapy

Abstract The cell membrane transport capacity and surface targets of multiple myeloma (MM) cells heavily influence chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Here, it is found that caveolin‐1 (CAV1), a primary component of membrane lipid rafts and caveolae, is highly expressed in MM cells and is associated wit...

description Abstract The cell membrane transport capacity and surface targets of multiple myeloma (MM) cells heavily influence chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Here, it is found that caveolin‐1 (CAV1), a primary component of membrane lipid rafts and caveolae, is highly expressed in MM cells and is associated with MM progression and drug resistance. CAV1 knockdown decreases MM cell adhesion to stromal cells and attenuates cell adhesion‐mediated drug resistance to bortezomib. CAV1 inhibition in MM cells enhances natural killer cell‐mediated cytotoxicity through increasing CXCL10, SLAMF7, and CD112. CAV1 suppression reduces mitochondrial membrane potential, increases reactive oxygen species, and inhibits autophagosome‐lysosome fusion, resulting in the disruption of redox homeostasis. Additionally, CAV1 knockdown enhances glutamine addiction by increasing ASCT2 and LAT1 and dysregulates glutathione metabolism. As a result of CAV1 inhibition, MM cells are more sensitive to starvation, glutamine depletion, and glutamine transporter inhibition, and grow more slowly in vivo in a mouse model treated with bortezomib. The observation that CAV1 inhibition modulated by 6‐mercaptopurine, daidzin, and statins enhances the efficacy of bortezomib in vitro and in vivo highlights the translational significance of these FDA‐approved drugs in improving MM outcomes. These data demonstrate that CAV1 serves as a potent therapeutic target for enhancing chemotherapy and immunotherapy for MM.
