Cisplatin is the first line therapy for patients with head and neck cancer. However, resistance to cisplatin remains a major concern. High expression of the calcium-activated chloride channel TMEM16A in tumors portends poor survival in these patients, possibly because of drug resistance. Here, we show that TMEM16A drives the sequestration of cisplatin into lysosomes. Subsequently, cisplatin is expelled via the delivery of lysosomes to the cell surface. We show that TMEM16A enhances this process, thereby promoting cisplatin resistance. We also show that lysosomal inhibition synergizes with cisplatin to induce tumor cell death. Our data uncovers a new fundamental feature of both lysosomal physiology and cancer cell biology that can potentially impact the treatment of patients with head and neck cancer. Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) is a devastating disease that continues to have low cure rates despite the recent advances in therapies. Cisplatin is the most used chemotherapy agent, and treatment failure is largely driven by resistance to this drug. Amplification of chromosomal band 11q13 occurs in ∼30% of SCCHN tumors. This region harbors the ANO1 gene that encodes the TMEM16A ion channel, which is responsible for calcium-activated chloride transport in epithelial tissues. TMEM16A overexpression is associated with cisplatin resistance, and high TMEM16A levels correlate with decreased survival. However, the mechanistic underpinning of this effect remains unknown. Lysosomal biogenesis and exocytosis have been implicated in cancer because of their roles in the clearance of damaged organelles and exocytosis of chemotherapeutic drugs and toxins. Here, we show that TMEM16A overexpression promotes lysosomal biogenesis and exocytosis, which is consistent with the expulsion of intracellular cisplatin. Using a combination of genetic and pharmacologic approaches, we find that TMEM16A promotes lysosomal flux in a manner that requires reactive oxygen species, TRPML1, and the activation of the β-catenin–melanocyte-inducing transcription factor pathway. The lysosomal inhibitor hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) synergizes with cisplatin in killing SCCHN cells in vitro. Using a murine model of SCCHN, we show that HCQ and cisplatin retard the growth of cisplatin-resistant patient-derived xenografts in vivo. We propose that TMEM16A enables cell survival by the up-regulation of lysosomal sequestration and exocytosis of the cytotoxic drugs. These results uncover a model of treatment for resistance in cancer, its reversal, and a role for TMEM16A.
