Résumé
Quiescence is a reversible cell-cycle arrest which allows cancer stem-like cells to evade killing following therapies. Here, we show that proliferating glioblastoma stem-like cells (GSLCs) can be induced and maintained in a quiescent state by lowering the extracellular pH. Through RNAseq analysis we identified Ca signalling genes differentially expressed between proliferating and quiescent GSLCs. Using the bioluminescent Ca reporter EGFP-aequorin we observed that the changes in Ca homeostasis occurring during the switch from proliferation to quiescence are controlled through store-operated channels (SOC) since inhibition of SOC drives proliferating GSLCs to quiescence. We showed that this switch is characterized by an increased capacity of GSLCs' mitochondria to capture Ca and by a dramatic and reversible change of mitochondrial morphology from a tubular to a donut shape. Our data suggest that the remodelling of the Ca homeostasis and the reshaping of mitochondria might favours quiescent GSLCs' survival and their aggressiveness in glioblastoma.
