Although there is a strong correlation between multinucleated cells (MNCs) and cancer chemo-resistance in variety of cancers, our understanding of how multinucleated cells modulate the tumor micro-environment is limited. We captured multinucleated cells from triple-negative chemo-resistant breast cancers cells in a time frame, where they do not proliferate but rather significantly regulate their micro-environment. We show that oxidatively stressed MNCs induce chemo-resistance in vitro and in vivo by secreting VEGF and MIF. These factors act through the RAS/MAPK pathway to induce chemoresistance by upregulating anti-apoptotic proteins. In MNCs, elevated reactive oxygen species (ROS) stabilizes HIF-1 alpha contributing to increase production of VEGF and MIF. Together the data indicate, that the ROS-HIF-1 alpha signaling axis is very crucial in regulation of chemo-resistance by MNCs. Targeting ROS-HIF-1 alpha in future may help to abrogate drug resistance in breast cancer.
