Altered cellular metabolism has been associated with acquisition of invasive
phenotypes during metastasis. To study this, we combined a genetically engineered
mouse model of mammary carcinoma with syngeneic transplantation and primary
tumour resection to generate isogenic cells from primary tumours and their
corresponding lung micrometastases. Metabolic analyses indicated that
micrometastatic cells increase proline production at the expense of glutathione
synthesis leading to a reduction in total glutathione levels. Micrometastatic cells also
have altered sphingomyelin metabolism leading to increased intracellular levels of
specific ceramides. The combination of these two metabolic adaptations alters small
extracellular vesicle (sEV) production to drive generation of an invasive
microenvironment. Indeed, micrometastatic cells shut-down Rab27-dependent
production of sEVs and, instead, switch-on neutral sphingomyelinase-2 (nSM2)-
dependent sEV release. sEVs released in a nSM2-dependent manner from
micrometastatic cells, in turn, influence the ability of fibroblasts to deposit extracellular
matrix which promotes cancer cell invasiveness. These data provide evidence that
metabolic rewiring drives invasive processes in metastasis by influencing sEV release
