Mitochondria are dynamic organelles that undergo fusion and fission in response to various physiological and stress stimuli, which play key roles in diverse mitochondrial functions such as energy metabolism, intracellular signaling, and apoptosis. OPA1, a mitochondrial dynamin-like GTPase, is responsible for the inner membrane fusion of mitochondria, and the function of OPA1 is regulated by proteolytic cleavage in response to various metabolic stresses. Growing evidences highlighted the importance of mitochondrial adaptation in response to metabolic stimuli. Here, we demonstrated the role of p32/C1QBP in mitochondrial morphology by regulating OMA1-dependent proteolytic processing of OPA1. Genetic ablation of p32/C1QBP activates OMA1, cleaves OPA1, and leads mitochondrial fragmentation and swelling. The loss of p32/C1QBP decreased mitochondrial respiration and lipid utilization, sensitized cells to mitochondrial stress, and triggered a metabolic shift from oxidative phosphorylation to glycolysis, which were correlated with apoptosis in cancer cells and the inhibition of 3D-spheroid formation. These results suggest a unique regulation of cell physiology by mitochondria and provide a basis for a new therapeutic strategy for cancer.
