Mitochondria are crucial metabolic organelles that are regulated by both intracellular and extracellular cues. The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a key component of the cellular environment that controls cellular behavior and metabolic activity. Here, we determined how ECM signalling regulates mitochondrial structure and activity. To distinguish mitochondrial regulation from the general survival cues generated by the ECM, we used breast cancer-derived spheres (mammospheres) because of their ability to grow in suspension culture in the absence of ECM. Using this system, we demonstrate that the association of mammospheres with the ECM results in dramatic mitochondrial elongation, along with enhanced mitochondrial respiration and ATP production. This remodeling occurs independently of DRP1 activity, but relies on integrin signaling and actin polymerization. Therefore, our findings demonstrate that ECM-driven actin polymerization plays a crucial role in remodeling mitochondrial networks to promote OXPHOS, which represents a vital step for migrating cells to enhance cellular adhesion and facilitate cell growth.
