Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is characterised by high rates of chromosomal instability (CIN) and a tumour microenvironment (TME) modulated by extracellular vesicles (EVs). To assess how CIN might affect the TME in TNBC, we studied the EV landscape of TNBC cell lines with induced CIN. We find that CIN leads to increased secretion of EVs and that these EVs promote cell migration of recipient cells. EVs are enriched for extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins, including EFEMP1. Indeed, modulation of EFEMP1 levels in EVs significantly alters migration behaviour of EV-treated cells. We show that EFEMP1 expression is regulated by STAT1, and that EVs from STAT1-deficient cells no longer promote migration, which can be rescued by overexpression of EFEMP1 in STAT1-null cells. Xenografting TNBC cells with EFEMP1 enriched cells promotes migration in zebrafish embryos, suggesting that EFEMP1 expression is a factor that promotes metastasis. Together our results uncover a novel role for CIN in shaping the TME of TNBC and identify EFEMP1 as a potential therapeutic target to prevent cell migration within the TME.
