Stem cell markers such as NANOG have been implicated in various cancers; however, the functional contribution of NANOG to cancer pathogenesis has remained unclear. Here, we show that Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling phosphorylates E2F1 to transactivate NANOG. Down-regulation of Nanog reduces tumor progression. NANOG ChIP-seq identified genes associated with NANOG-dependent mitochondrial metabolic pathways to maintain tumor-initiating stem-like cells (TICs). The causal roles of NANOG in mitochondrial metabolic reprogramming occurred through the inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) with decreased production of mitochondrial ROS and activation of fatty acid oxidation (FAO), which was required for self-renewal and drug resistance. Restoration of OXPHOS activity and inhibition of FAO rendered TICs susceptible to a standard care chemotherapy drug, sorafenib. This study provides insights into the mechanisms of NANOG-mediated generation of TICs, tumorigenesis and chemo-resistance due to metabolic reprograming of mitochondrial functions.
