In the absence of low-level endoplasmic reticulum-to-mitochondrial Ca2+ transfer, ATP levels fall and AMPK-dependent, mTOR-independent autophagy is induced as an essential survival mechanism in many cell types. Here we demonstrate that tumorigenic cancer cell lines, transformed primary human fibroblasts and tumors in vivo respond similarly, but autophagy is insufficient for survival, and cancer cells die while their normal counterparts are spared. Cancer cell death is due to compromised bioenergetics that can be rescued with metabolic substrates or nucleotides, and caused by necrosis associated with mitotic catastrophe during their proliferation. Our findings reveal an unexpected dependency on constitutive Ca2+ transfer to mitochondria for viability of tumorigenic cells and suggest that mitochondrial Ca2+ addiction is a feature of cancer cells.
